"You guys aren't going out there." Allan huffed. It was our third night in Edmonton, the first two nights were packed and successful (even though I will never tell Allan that) and suddenly it's cancelled?

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Nikki turned around and looked at him. "The club is packed again, we have to." He added.

"Not with a bomb threat out for you guys." He cackled. "What?" I turned around to look at him. "Someone threatened to bomb you guys, maybe Edmonton doesn't like you guys as much as you thought." Allan answered.

"What the fuck did we do to get a bomb threat?" Vince marvelled. Allan shrugged in response.

"Last night some one called the cops and said if you guys went in tonight that there would be no more Mötley Crüe." Allan continued.

"This city is just as fucked as Los Angeles, if they were actually going to bomb us they wouldn't of told us. So we're going to go out there and give people the show they paid for! That's the end, we go on in 5 minutes." Nikki put his foot down. "Your funeral, literally." Allan scoffed and walked out of the room.

"Nik, maybe you should be our new manager." I joked as I went and sat next to him. He smiled while putting his arm around me then kissing my cheek.

"You actually want to go out there with a bomb threat against us? You have to be tweaking." Tommy hesitantly said. "Sixx has a point, let's just go out there." Mick blandly replied.

"I think they both have a point. I mean, I don't really want to get blown up, but would we really get bombed?" I anxiously mentioned.

"Y/N, I've heard you say that we have nothing to gain and nothing to loose. If we get blown up, we will go out with a sick story and an uproar in the news and if we don't, we keep working until we get there with our music." Nikki shrugged.

"You seem too non-chalant about dying." Vince scoffed. "Yeah, because they aren't actually going to bomb us." Nikki scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Let's just go out there." Mick mumbled as he got up, putting his vodka on the side table.

We did the show without getting bombed and crowd seemed to like us. So, fuck you Allan.

We were all just about to backstage to start the real party when a woman with a microphone approached me.

"Hi! You're Mötley Crüe, correct?" She smiled at us. "Yes- well like, I'm a part of the band but I'm Y/N L/N." I replied with a smile. "Perfect! I'm Margaret O'Sullivan with CBC and I would like to do an interview with you guys about the bomb threat. Is that alright?" She smiled.

Interview outside Los Angeles? Fuck yeah. "Like, for TV?" I asked as she nodded her head yes. "Yeah, of course." I grinned.

"Who is this?" Nikki came over, putting his arm around my shoulder. "This is Margaret O'Sullivan, from CBC. She wants to interview us for TV." I told him.

"Hey, I'm Nikki Sixx." He stated and shook her hand. "We will be rolling in about 30 seconds, get ready!" She smiled as she fixed her hair.

"Guys, come over!" I called out. Tommy, Vince and Mick came over as we all stood in the group.

"3,2,1!" The camera man shouted. "Good evening, I'm Margaret O'Sullivan and I am here with a band who recently caused an uproar. They call themselves  'Mötley Crüe', they hail from Southern California, and it seems that someone in Edmonton wish they would've stayed there. An unidentified caller phoned the police last night and said the group would be done away with while they are performing. The group is currently booked into 'Scandals' an Edmonton night club, better known for punk rock acts, instead of the metal sound that Mötley Crüe specializes with. I am currently here with the band right now. We're here with..." Margaret said, putting the microphone to my mouth to introduce myself.

"Uh, Y/N L/N. Guitarist." I revealed. "And what do you have to say about what was threatened?" Margaret asks. "Well, I think Edmonton just isn't ready for the kick-ass sound of Mötley Crüe yet. If you don't like us, don't buy tickets. It's a simple as that. We're not locking you in Scandals and making you watch." I shrugged, passing the microphone to Nikki.

"Nikki Sixx, bass." Nikki said, "Are you the group leader?" Margaret asked him. "Maybe?" He chuckled before Sharon asked him another question.

"Whose got it out for you in Edmonton?" She questioned him. "Uh, I don't know. We don't really care either. We're just here to give everyone their moneys worth for the show. And, uh- play Rock N' Roll, Los Angeles style. And what Y/N said, if people don't enjoy it, they don't have to come see it." Nikki replied with a smirk.

"Well, that's right boys- and girl." Margaret laughed and looked back at the camera. "The show must, and will go on. If this group survives their Edmonton experience, they have plans to try their taste in other Canadian cities in an across Canada tour. Margaret O'Sullivan, CBC news." She smiled and closed off the segment.

"Thanks so much," guys. Margaret smiled and passed the microphone back to the cameraman. "No problem, thanks for getting us on TV." I smiled back, genuine about the attention this was going to bring.

CBC walked away and outside. "Oh my god!" I squealed and grabbed my band members while jumping.

"What?" Vince chuckled at my excitement. "You are aware that we are on the biggest Canadian news channel, right? This brings so much attention, more people are going to know about the show for tomorrow night!" I cheered as all the guys smiled.

Maybe this tour won't be as bad as I thought.
