FreyZB_Mercury: It is my honour to announce that Dua Lipa- an artist who has just released her first album- is performing as an opening act on the QUEEN's Crown tour. I met this girl just over a year ago, and I cannot believe I had a fulfilled life without her in it! Keep rocking on, girly.<3

It's a Saturday evening. The sun is out and a rainbow has fittingly flung itself into the sky- symbolising different kinds of pride for the whole country to see.

On stage, only a drumset and a few electric guitars stand tall- over the roar of the crowd, a few stray aeroplanes and especially loud birds can be heard.

After being DM'd by Shawn Mendes two years prior to his first album, Freya and himself developed a strong friendship. The duo soon became a trio, however, after Camila Cabello was discovered to be Shawn's soulmate...

Long story short, six and a half years later, Camila and Shawn have started the QUEEN's CROWN pre-concert entertainment with the song Señorita. Bill and Jen are bopping their heads up and down backstage, while Reggie full-on dances.

"How many songs are the two of them performing?" Shouts Reggie over the booming sounds of the stereo, his hands beginning to snap and clap the beats one by one.

"Two, Reginald, we've been over this."

"Right, what about Du-"

"-Three," Jen sighs, "now, go and get dressed before Freya hunts you down with her Swiss Amy knife."

Dua Lipa is currently standing next to Freya's seat in the prep room.

"Thank you so much for giving me a chance, Miss Mercury! No one's ever heard my songs before, so, choosing to let me be an opening act means the world!"

The lead singer of QUEEN can do nothing but grin a dazzling grin, her vocal warm-ups pausing in anticipation of responding.

"It's Freya, and of course! I heard you singing at the bar... I had to place my pencil down and do a double-take. I'd never scouted out a singer quite as success-ready as you were and still are. You're young, talented, beautiful and have the voice of an especially sexy angel."

Dua smiles, her cheeks flushed in embarrassment and pride at the high compliments being paid.

"Any advice for a first-timer?"

Freya drops her makeup brush to the table, shaking glitter off of her tulle show outfit.

"Keep your head up and don't change anything about yourself. Not for anyone."

✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯

I know a galaxy and I can take you for a ride. I had a premonition that we fell into a rhythm where the music don't stop all night.

"Ow- Niall! Hi, Freya! Harry wouldn't let me say hello, so I took special precautions and locked him in the bathroom."

Mercury laughs loudly whilst her tech crew attaches a just-in-case microphone to her pink leotard.

"Hiya, Niall! It's been ages! How's your music going? Have you and Harry received the tickets I sent you?"

Niall smiles at the camera, his heart clenching at the sweet woman. Who, even when two minutes away from a show, makes time for her friends and family.

One, don't pick up the phone, you know he's only calling because he's drunk and alone.

"Yes, I got the tickets."

"-Niall! I want to talk to Queenie, too!"

"Fine! Love ya babes, thanks for the tickets."

Freya laughs at the soulmate interaction, the bittersweetness of it all washing over her.

"How are you, Harry? I hope you aren't driving Niall too mad, as I would like to see a Mr & Mr Horan-Styles invitation in my mailbox."

Laughing, the famous male shakes his head.

"I'm fine thanks. I'll try not to run him too far down the lane- I just love seeing him get grumpy, it's just too good a chance to skip out on."

If you wanna believe that anything could stop me.

"And how are you, my love? With all the press and stress your life has to offer, I'm sure you've  gone mad by now..."

Dua bows as her three songs come to a close.

She walks off stage and hugs Freya on the way out.

"Thank you so much for performing! You truly are something, Dua Lipa. Harry, I love you lots and I hope to see you in London soon, yeah? Time for me to get on stage."

Before she can hang up, Harry's voice rings throughout her phone speakers.

"Happy birthday, Superstar!"

✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯

"What's up Manchester?!"

Freya giggles to herself as Reggie, Jen and Bill start to prep their sound and tuning.

"Before the actual songs are performed, can we get a huge round of applause for Camila Cabello, Shawn Mendes and Dua Lipa!? What talented human beings!"

The crowd goes ballistic, some of them still reeling from being in the presence of QUEEN.

"Last thing before we start is...a game! I'd like everyone on the right side of the crowd to get their lower vocal register ready, the left get their high notes prepped and the middle and front rows, warm up those nice mid-tones."

She waits for a few seconds, humming to herself as she pauses.

"Alright, everyone, repeat my melody!"

Bill watches with a smile as the crowd repeats melody after melody, each with more and more enthusiasm.

Jen's heart warms slightly as Freya sings her heart out, having gotten the audience to repeat 'Mercury's simply the best there is', shortly followed by 'just kidding, just kidding.'

"One, two, one two three!"

She keeps her soft robes of silk

just in case another calls

"Pay me what I'm due," she says

Just like Stella from bite and dust

Built in- miracle

For Stella and the man she 'knows'

Irresistible every time, lessons

you'll have to learn.

She's a Killer Queen

shockwaves in the bloodstream

supersonic energy

Guaranteed to blow your mind

Every time.

"Killer Queen, everybody!"

It started off faulted

They said we were a clashing pair

I shielded myself in your ego and strength

How I loved you

How I cried

The years of blood and toil

Were nothing but a distraction, it seems

Save Me, Save Me, Save Me...

7 minutes later...

"It's time...for BoHo!"

Mama, just sentenced him,

Put her words down on that sheet,

Signed her signature ever so neat,

Mama, his life had just begun

But now you've gone and thrown it all away...

Mama, ooh ohhhh

I don't wanna die

I sometimes wish you'd never sentenced me at all

2 hours later...

"Thank you to all of the artists who allowed QUEEN to perform their music! As soon as you get home, Royal Family, take a look at their work and help everyone out a bit by following them, listening to their music and buying tickets to their concerts... I love all of you from the bottom of my heart, and myself and the band hope to see you again soon! Good night, darlings!"

Before Freya can make her way out of view, Jen ushers her back on stage, dragging her by hand.

"Jen?" Freya hisses, "what are you doing? We're finished!"

"Wait for it..."

Bill and Reggie get up from their music stands, walk to the front of the stage and wave their arms around like drunken sailors walking on land for the first time.

That's when Freya hears it...The crowd is singing her song, Love of my Life.

Thirteen thousand people in harmony, belting out the melody of Freya's despair.

And as the song continues, the rest of the band walks off stage, leaving her to have her moment.

 Half of the audience begins to sing something else. Freya strains her ears to hear it, shedding a tear as she realises what it is.

Happy birthday.

Jen stumbles up the stairs with a phone camera in hand, as Bill and Reggie transport a large cake on stage.

On the cake, is Freya Mercury's face. But not only her face, her milestones. Her first steps, the first song, first solo song...it's all there.

The crowd finishes their song and begins to applaud her.

That night, Freya- just Freya, not Mercury or Busanya- falls asleep to the chanting of her name ringing at the back of her head.
