"And for the final song of my show today..."  Deacy announced and bounced with anticipation.  "I'd like to welcome my special guests...here for the premiere of their new music video...please say hello to Roger Taylor and my better half, Freddie Mercury!"  Deacy exclaimed excitedly as he held his arms open for his husband and friend to join him on the dance floor of his show.  Roger and Freddie walked onto the floor to the applause of Deacy's dancers that lined the edge of the stage.  Everyone was excited to see Freddie in the flesh and Roger as well.

The men met in the middle of the floor and Roger gave Deacy a hug and Freddie and Deacy shared a quick kiss as the applause died down.  

"Thank you for having us.."  Roger said as they faced each other and ignored the cameras.  Deacy felt immense excitement at having this exclusive on his show.  

"You are best friends but have never performed together in the past...this is your first release as a duo and the single releases tomorrow..."  Deacy announced.  Roger and Freddie both wore pleased expressions.  Clearly happy to be there together.  Roger wrapped his arm around Freddie's shoulders.

"That's right...Freddie was kind enough to help me out on my song and I am thrilled we could finally do something together..."  Roger explained.  Freddie beamed at his best friend.

"It was my pleasure and we had a lot of fun!"  Freddie commented.  Deacy looked at the camera and spoke.

"So here we go!"  Deacy exclaimed.  "For the first time...here is the new single from Roger Taylor with special guest...Freddie Mercury...Rock It (Prime Jive)!"  Deacy exclaimed excitedly.  The camera panned away and the video began playing on the large screen at the side of the stage.  The sound was fed into the speakers on the floor so everyone could better hear the music.  All of the dancers stood and watched and smiled widely.  They couldn't help but move their bodies as the song picked up momentum.  Roger and Freddie stood and watched the reaction of the dancers and the show crew nearby.  They had already seen the video a few times and grown tired of it.  They were happy with what they saw from the audience.

"Cut!"  the director shouted.  The video paused and everyone relaxed.   "Let's get the end now  please..."  he announced.  Everyone remained in place as the video was sped up on the screen.   They were counted back in for filming and the director gestured at them to resume speaking as the video ended on the large screen.  The dancers began clapping in response.

"That was Rock It (Prime Jive)....the new single from Roger Taylor and his special guest...and my husband...Freddie Mercury..."  Deacy stated with amusement.  "The single is available tomorrow at all record outlets..."  Deacy advised.  "That's it for today's show!"  he declared.  "See you next week when we all learn the 'safety dance!' "  he announced.  A portion of the just seen music video began playing again and the dancers resumed bopping to Prime Jive as Roger and Freddie made some cursory dance moves and the camera panned out.

"Cut!"  the director shouted.  Everyone stopped moving and the director walked over to the floor.  "That's it!"  he advised them and shook hands with Freddie and Roger.  "You looked great!"  he commented to the men.

"Thanks for everything..."  Roger told the director.  They stuck around to sign some autographs and pose for pictures but Roger kept his eye on the time.  They had somewhere to be.

"It's time!"  they suddenly heard Phoebe announce.  Freddie, Deacy and Roger excused themselves and were led by a producer from the set and down a hallway to another area of the MTV Europe headquarters.  They now occupied 5 floors of a newer London building.  Roger checked his watch and felt excited and anxious as they arrived at a door for another sound stage.  The light was green so they went in.
