Love Is On The Way: A Brian May Fan Fiction

Meeting The Band

5: INT. STADIUM NIGHT CUT TO:

Rachael comes back.

RACHAEL: Hey, I'm back, did I miss anything?

JAYME: Nope! You're just in time.

FREDDIE: (sits down at the piano) Mama... Just killed a man, put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger now he's dead... Mama, life had just begun, but now I've gone and thrown it all away... Mama! Ooh! Didn't mean to make you cry, if I'm not back again this time tomorrow, carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters... Too late, my time has come, sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time... Goodbye everybody, I've got to go, gotta leave you all behind and face the truth... Mama! Ooh... I don't wanna die! I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all!

BRIAN: (breaks into the solo)

RACHAEL: (watches him in awe) (to herself) "As Brian began playing the legendary solo, I was instantly mesmerized by his talent as I watched his fingers glide up and down the Red Special."

JAYME: (nudges her) Look! There's Rog!

RACHAEL: (smiles) They're all pretty sexy, but Brian is the one for me.

JAYME: You only like him because of his hair!

RACHAEL: That's not true, he has a warmth to him, he seems very gentle.

JAYME: How would you know? You've never met him.

RACHAEL: Actually, I knida bumped into him on the way to the bathroom.

JAYME: You what?! No way! What did you say?

RACHAEL: I apologized, he told me where the bathroom was and we just said goodbye.

JAYME: You've been in love with this guy for 4 years and that's all you said?

RACHAEL: What was I supposed to say? Hi Brian, you're so hot, will you marry me?

JAYME: (laughs)

6: INT. STADIUM (BACKSTAGE AREA) NIGHT CUT TO:

RACHAEL: Since I was 17. How long have you been playing guitar?

BRIAN: Since I was 7.
