Love Is On The Way: A Brian May Fan Fiction

We Will Rock You

94: INT. STUDIO DAY FADE IN:

9 months later. June, 1977.

Brian has a new idea for a song.

BRIAN: (the band is waiting for Freddie to show up) (sighs) (to himself) Screw him... (gets up) All right, everyone up on the drum risers.

RACHAEL: (gets up) Come on boys!

BRIAN: Thank you Rachael, showing some enthusiasm. (kisses her) (helps her up)

DEACY: (Deacy and Roger follow and get up on the drum risers) Bass?

BRIAN: No, you don't need it. All right, remember our last concert? The crowd were singing our songs back to us? I wanna encourage that so I've got an idea to involve them a bit more... (starts stomping his feet) Stamp to this beat.

DEACY: (sarcastically) Genius!

BRIAN: Thank you John.

RACHAEL: Will you two just shut up and do what he says?

ROGER: (he and Deacy stamp their feet to the beat)

BRIAN: Good... Now I want you to clap on the third beat... (stomps and claps)

ROGER: (they do the same)

BRIAN: Good. Rog, keep that time... (goes to the piano and starts playing a melody)

FREDDIE: (comes in) So sorry my darlings.

BRIAN: Late again I see.

FREDDIE: I'm a performer darling, I'm always fashionably late. Now, will you please tell me why you're not playing any instruments?

ROGER: (still stomping and clapping) You'd know if you were on time.

FREDDIE: Sorry I'm late.

BRIAN: I wanna give the audience a song that they can perform. So what can they do? (stomps and claps to the beat) (everyone else joins in) Imagine, thousands of people doing this in unison.

FREDDIE: Well, what's the lyric?

BRIAN: (smiles at him)

95: INT. STADIUM NIGHT CUT TO:

A few days later. Queen is performing the newly recorded "We Will Rock You."

FREDDIE: WE WILL, WE WILL ROCK YOU!!!

BRIAN: (plays the solo)

FREDDIE: Thank you my darlings! Goodnight!

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

RACHAEL: That was amazing! (pulls them all in for a group hug)

FREDDIE: Why thank you my dear. This calls for a celebration! (picks her up and throws her over his shoulder) To the tour bus!

RACHAEL: Freddie put me down!

FREDDIE: Not a chance darling. (they all leave)

97: INT. TOUR BUS NIGHT CUT TO:

Later...

FREDDIE: Cheers my darlings!

RACHAEL: (everyone) Cheers!... Ooh... (grips her stomach tightly)

BRIAN: (looks at her with concern) What is it darling?

RACHAEL: Uh, I think my water just broke...

BRIAN: (goes pale) What?

FREDDIE: Miami, get us to the hospital as fast as you can.

BRIAN: You're gonna be alright darling.

FREDDIE: (the bus pulls up in front of the hospital) (he, Brian, Roger and Deacy all pick her up and get off)

98: INT. HOSPITAL ROOM NIGHT DISSOLVE TO:

Rachael has just given birth to a baby boy.

RACHAEL: (rocking him)

BRIAN: (laying next to her) He's perfect.

RACHAEL: (smiles at him) I was thinking Michael for a name, what do you think?

BRIAN: I like that... Michael Harold May?

RACHAEL: I like that!

BRIAN: (kisses her)
