How To Annoy Queen Band:

CHAPTER 1 TELL ROGER YOU WENT ON GENES REUNITED AND FOUND A PICTURE OF HIS GRANDMUM. SHOW HIM A PICTURE OF A BARBIE DOLL:

I creep into the studio and look around. The hallway of the studio is pretty much deserted. I heave a sigh of relief and make my way towards the upper floor of the studio. I can hear faint singing coming from the end of the corridor. Hey, by the way, I'm Ashley Radcliffe. I have been travelling with the Queen for two years now as their groupie at first and then as their guitarist, Brian May's sweetheart. So, back to the present. I sneak along the dark corridor and curb a shudder. Dark corridors always give me creeps. *shudder* I stop at the door of the room where they are playing. Trying to compose myself, I open the door with the familiar creak.

"Hi…" I squeak as Brian turns around at the sound. He's sitting with the Sound Engineer and trying to play a tune on the Synthesizer.

"Sweetheart, hi…" He stands up to hug me. I bury my face in his gravity-defying curls and inhale his scent. Goodness, I could go to bed with that smell. He smells so amazing. Mmmmm...

"Hey…" Roger calls out as we break apart and I wave at him and stare. He's sitting on Freddie's lap with Freddie trying to lick his neck. I roll my eyes and turn to Johnnie. He's my favorite member with glossy brown hair and bright green eyes and of course, a very sweet mannerism. In fact, I almost asked him out. He smiles at me as I wave at him.

"So what song are you people working on?" I ask as I perch myself on Brian's chair. "One Vision?"

"Yup, that's the one…" John smirks. "Tea?" I shake my head and look around. This has started seeming like a second home for me. "How long are you guys gonna take?" I ask knowing the answer.

"About three more hours?" Brian says checking his wristwatch. I should have known. I sigh.

"Ash..." Brian starts. I wave him off. "Come on Brian, I know these things..." I shrug. "Like, I've been staying with you guys for nearly three years now..."

"I'm taking this weekend off..." Brian says firmly. Freddie nods. "Yes Darling, you've been working hard. You should take your girlfriend somewhere..."

"It's fine…" I say hurriedly before Brian can retort. "I've come here for something else…" I bit my lip. "Ummm… Roger, I have wanted to talk to you, if that's ok?"

"Sure…" Roger smiles. "Shoot away…"

""I went on Genes Reunited the other day," I fidget a bit, looking around at them.

"And?" Roger sounds rather fascinated.

"Why did you that, darling?" Freddie is smiling. "I don't think you went for yourself, did you?" His eyes are glinting with mischief. Goodness, am I that predictable?

"Yes… Actually, I found out about Roger's… Uhmmm… You can say, past…" I turn to him. "And I got the photo of his grandmum…" Suddenly I feel giggle rising up like a bubble.

"You did what?" Brian laughs as Roger stares at me. "But why did you—"

"Just like that…" I say shrinking back a bit.

"You've got the pic here?" Roger is still staring at me like a zombie. I nod and pull out the envelope from my pocket. I hand it over to him and he stares at it.

"That's all I wanted to say… " I stand up.

"That's all?" Brian looks crestfallen. "Please stay…"

"I don't think I should…" I bite my lip to prevent a giggle. "I'll see you soon, bye.." I run down the stairs and am halfway through the front door when I hear Roger's sweet voice,

"ASHLEY!"

FUCK.
