Love Is On The Way: A Brian May Fan Fiction

Alone

11: INT. RACHAEL'S HOUSE (LIVING ROOM) NIGHT CUT TO:

Rachael and Brian realize they've been deserted.

BRIAN: (both go downstairs) Where the bloody hell is everyone?

RACHAEL: I don't know.

BRIAN: (sighs) Fred probably took them out for a drink.

RACHAEL: Well, that's okay, you and I can just hang out... (puts the movie on and sits down next to him)

BRIAN: This movie is hysterical.

RACHAEL: It really is. Gene Wilder is the best.

BRIAN: (smiles)

RACHAEL: I'm gonna go make some popcorn, do you want anything?

BRIAN: No, I'm alright darling.

RACHAEL: Ok, be back in a second. (goes into the kitchen)

12: INT. RACHAEL'S HOUSE (KITCHEN) NIGHT CUT TO:

Rachael gathers her thoughts.

RACHAEL: (begins making popcorn) (to herself) "Is this for real? Am I really hanging out with Brian May? God, I love him, his charming personality, warm smile, gentle eyes... Sexy hair." (quietly sighs to herself) (pours the popcorn into a bowl)

13: INT. RACHAEL'S HOUSE (LIVING ROOM) NIGHT CUT TO:

Brian and Rachael become closer.

RACHAEL: (comes back in) Hey, I'm back... (sits down next to him) (eats popcorn)

BRIAN: When's your birthday?

RACHAEL: June 12th, what about you?

BRIAN: July 19th.

RACHAEL: You wanna see some pictures of me when I was a baby?

BRIAN: Sure!

RACHAEL: (grabs a photo album) (starts flipping through)

BRIAN: Awww! Look at you! You were so tiny!

RACHAEL: I was born 3 months early. I weighed one pound, two ounces.

BRIAN: My word! That's incredible! It's a miracle you came out alright.

RACHAEL: Well, not completely alright.

BRIAN: What do you mean?

RACHAEL: I was born with asthma and I have a slight limp caused by the stroke.

BRIAN: (looks at her with concern) You had a stroke?

RACHAEL: Yeah but don't worry, I'm alright now. You wouldn't know it to look at me except for maybe the scar on my stomach from when my feeding tube came out.

BRIAN: That's terrible!

RACHAEL: I know, but like I said, I'm fine now.

BRIAN: Well, that's good, and to be honest, I haven't noticed your limp.

RACHAEL: Well, that's because I wear heels, they kinda level my legs so I can walk somewhat easier.

BRIAN: Doesn't that hurt your feet though?

RACHAEL: After awhile, yes, but it's not so bad.

BRIAN: I gotta tell you Rach, I really like you. You're so down to earth.

RACHAEL: I like you too! (cuddles up to him)

14: INT. RACHAEL'S HOUSE (LIVING ROOM) NIGHT DISSOLVE TO:

Rachael and Brian doze off together.

RACHAEL: (to herself) "As the movie went on, I began to grow tired, I could see that he was too. I tried my hardest to stay awake but eventually I gave in and closed my eyes..." (rests her head on Brian's shoulder) (falls asleep)

BRIAN: (looks down and smiles softly) (pulls a blanket up over the two of them) (rests his head against hers and falls asleep)
