December 13, 1975
Freddie's POV

Today we were preforming at an arena in Liverpool, I was feeling a bit nervous. Mary wanted to stay home, which was weird because she always wanted to come to shows that were always closer to home.

She told me she would watch me perform when I got home, which was alright with me because I wanted her to see us perform 'Love of my Life'.

We were just about done getting set up for the performance which was in two hours. I looked over to see Maddie sitting at Roger's drum kit. He always got pissed if one of us were at his kit, and I didn't want Maddie getting yelled at.

Although I did want to hear her play, I would always protect her. She's my best friend.

"Maddie play a beat for us darling!" I shouted from across the stage.

She nodded and banged a few of the drums at a time, although she sounded not the best.

"Who the bloody hell is playing on my kit?" Roger shouted. He came out of a wing and started a Maddie. She hadn't heard him, she was too busy playing on his drums. He came over to me as I smiled at her.

"Don't sign her as Queen's new drummer, that's my job," Roger chuckled.

"Oh I wasn't planning on it darling, she gets paid well for our assistant," I said.

He smiled at her, star struck. I could tell he loved her very much. I had to admit, I was very excited they were getting married.

He walked over to her and picked her up off his stool and sat her in his lap as he sat. He showed her how to play a few beats, and she wasn't that bad.

9:00 pm
Maddie's POV

The boys were killing it tonight, they were playing songs off of their new album.

The lights dimmed on Brian and Freddie, that's when I knew what time it was.

Freddie started singing Love of my Life, it was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard.

Then he stopped singing. We realized the crowd was doing the singing for him. I sang along quietly to myself until Roger came behind the wing where I was.

The crowd didn't stop singing, so Freddie let them have the spotlight.

The song was almost finished and Roger gave me a kiss goodbye to finish up the show. They were ending it with their masterpiece, Bohemian Rhapsody.

Their show was absolutely beautiful, especially with the new album.

This was just the beginning of this tour.
