Bel Air California

Michael's POV

Today is an exciting day for both me and Bianca. Queen is in town and Freddie is coming over to work in the studio. Which I'll really enjoy since it has been a year since they've been here and I can't wait to say " I told you so " about Another One Bites The Dust. They were adamant that they didn't want to make it a single since it was too " disco " for them. One day they'll learn to trust my instincts.

Bianca is excited because she loves Crazy Little Thing Called Love. I think the little thing might have a small crush now that I think about it. It's adorable really I can't wait to introduce her. 

" Freddie! Welcome. Where are the others? " Surely they knew they were all invited. 

Smirking Freddie says, " Hello, Michael. Nice to see you again mate. So sorry about the guys it seems they have found some better company. "

Now that makes more sense. " That sounds about right. Come on in we'll say hi to the family before heading down to the studio. "

" Marvelous. I'd love to pick your sister Janet's brain on an outfit I saw her wearing last month. " He says making me giggle.

 Shaking my head I say, " I'm sure you'll have a lot to talk about. This way. "  

And talk they did... For half an hour. Then Joseph starts talking about his heyday and that's the hair that broke the camels back. I literally have to pull him away in order to get him back into creating mode. We finally make it to the studio and set out to work. 

This is the part of creating that I love. Being with like-minded artists always gets the creative juices flowing. Freddie is just the guy I need to vibe with at this very moment.  It has only been an hour and we already have a nice melody and a few lines written out. I like where it's going but I want it to be one of a kind...

" What's wrong Michael? You look like your thoughts will come flying right out of your forehead. " Freddie asks after I'm quiet for a few moments.

If only he knew all of the times I've felt like all my creative ideas would come flying out. " I like it, Fred... It just needs something to make it extraordinary. "

" Well, Mike let's get back to work then Darling! " He says puffing his stinky cigarette.

I don't mind his dirty habits so much but to have a little girl around and second-hand smoke... It doesn't mesh well.

" Say cheese! " Bianca says coming out of nowhere with a camera and taking our picture before I can react before giggling trying to run away. 

Pulling her back I take the camera and say, " Bianca that's rude now please say you're sorry. "

" I'm sorry. " She says cutely.

Freddie, who is not even the least bit concerned puts his cigarette out and crouches down to her level. " Well hello, there little darling! And what is your name? "

" I'm Bianca Jackson. " She says with no hesitation while having to crane her neck to look all the way up at his face.

Shaking the polaroid she hands the picture to Freddie. " It's a good picture huh? "

 " It's a good picture huh? "
