"And introducing....The band you all came here for.....The Tribute to Anything!"

At that introduction, a drummer, and a singing guitarist that plays keys, another singing guitarist, and a bass player.  The crowd went wild. “Thank you guys for coming.  We didn't think you all would come since we do mostly covers, but thank ya'll for coming!"  The lead singing, guitar playing, keyboardist screamed into the microphone with the slightest bit of a country accent.   The other  singing  guitarist spoke; " and in case ya'll didn't know,  I'm Tommy Shaw,  the one who just spoke is Roxette or Roxy,  behind the drums is Steven Adler from Guns N Roses." That earned some cheers. "The one on bass is, wait for it, Hugh McDonald from Bon Jovi.” That also received some applause. "And together we are Tribute to Anything!!!" The drummer finished for Tommy.  They sang at least 20 songs including some of the one they wrote.  It was the best.  A/N I'm going to do something very Steven King.  That was the happy ending.  You can stop reading now with the happy ending, or continue reading.  If you chose to continue, you won't like it.  It's all downhill from here.

Tommy said.  "Of course you did Tommy. You sing lead on that song. ““Good point, Michelle.” Tommy said. "I said never call me that. EVER!" 'Roxy' yelled, making everyone step back except Steven. “Come on Rox. I'll walk you to your dressing room. “He said as she was cooling down.  She was WAY more moody now.  The guys couldn't figure out why.  So let's fill you in.  After Steven and Michelle bought the apartment, they wanted to start a tribute band, but they couldn't figure out whom to.  So they did the “Tribute to Anything.”They could make covers of almost everything.  Michele couldn't handle hearing her old name anymore.  'Old name, old habits.  New name, new habits. ‘She always said.  But

now, hearing her old name or the name 'Axl' drove her crazy.  She knows why and so does Steven, but her fiancé, Tommy Shaw, doesn’t and neither does the rest of the band.  She's pregnant, but she doesn't know who the father is, but she'll find out soon.
