Present time

"I assume that I was too intoxicated to stay in a public space, then?", asked the angel to the room at large.

"You assume correctly, Az. Are you feeling better?", it was Brian who spoke up this time. He was leaning against the nearest bookshelf with his arms crossed as he looked at Aziraphale with concern.

Aziraphale adjusted his waistcoat and gave him a warm smile. "I feel much better, thank you dear.". He stood up now, and walked over to the front windows and noticed that it was midday. How odd..... He walked back to his back room, and stood at its entrance facing both musicians. "Where is the second half of the ensemble? I remember talking to John last night, and where one of you four goes, the others almost always follow. So, where are John and Freddie?". 

"We're here, Az. Never left, just making some extra tea in case you wanted more.", replied John, who walked out of the kitchen carrying said cups of tea with Freddie in tow. 

"Azira, dear, are you alright?", asked the frontman.

"Tickety-boo, my dear, now, aside from being here in my bookshop for obvious reasons that I won't care to mention, what brings you boys to Soho? Another performance, I take it?"

"Yup. We've got a venue booked and everything, it'll be tomorrow at noon. Would you like to see us? You can have a backstage pass and hang with us before and after.", asked Roger. 

The other 3 men turned to look at Aziraphale.

The angel gave a put-upon sigh.

"Okay, fine, I'll go."

Queen cheered and squealed (try guessing who squealed) in victory during the early hours of the morning in a corner of a little bookshop in Soho.

Meanwhile in a certain flat in Mayfair.......

"GROW BETTAH OR SO HELP ME-"

New call from...Aziraphale

"I SWEAR TO SOMEONE YOU WON'T GET TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH-hello?"

"Hello Crowley, I was wondering if you were open to popping over for a visit this evening. There's something I need to give you and after we can share a drink if you'd like."

The demon's insides must've been reduced to a pile of goo because the world stopped revolving on its axis.

"Dear, I'm fairly certain that you need your heart to function."

Crowley fumbles with the phone. The world suddenly came crashing down on him.

"Of course I know that I need my heart to function, Angel. I was just....doing snake things...you wouldn't know about it, so best not to get into that. And yes, I'll pop over later on in the evening."

Crowley hung up, mortified at his behavior.

Snake things?! Really?!

.......what is that angel up to now?.....
