Maggie looked up at the house, and then at her father, who was smiling brightly, "So what do you think kiddo" Nikki asked, giving his daughter a hesitant smile. Maggie squinted in thought, "I don't like it" she stated after 2 minutes of silence, Nikki cringed slightly, before Maggie continued, "I mean it's nice and all, but it's in a fancy people neighborhood, we're not fancy people dad" Nikki chuckled, "it's called a gated community, and plus Vince is gonna be right down the street!" Maggie still squinted at the house, "I still don't like it."

Maggie watched as Nikki signed some papers with a well dressed man named Will. Maggie didn't like Will or his stack of papers. Maggie sat in the uncomfortable chair, glaring at the man, and a bit at her father. "Alright Mr.Sixx, the house is all yours!"Will exclaimed in exaggerated glee, Maggie rolled her eyes. Nikki smiled, shaking Will's hand, before leaving with Maggie.

Maggie and Nikki walked into the shitty apartment they called home. Maggie sighed ploping herself on the couch, nudging the burnt spots in the carpet with her foot. "What's up kiddo?" Nikki questioned, Maggie shrugged, "I don't want to move dad." Nikki sighed, looking at the burnt carpet, "Look Mags, I know you love this apartment, but it's just an apartment. We can have a better life at the new house, we will have a better life at the new house." Maggie looked at her dad, conflicted, "We have a good life right now though?" Nikki sighed shaking his head, "But our life can be even better at the new house!" Maggie nodded, as Nikki continued, "plus you'll have your own room, and Bowie will have a yard. We'll have a music room, and a big kitchen. You can even have a bike too!" Maggie smiled, brightening up, "really?" Nikki nodded with a smile, "really."

Maggie watched as people came in and out of her apartment, carrying boxes and other miscellaneous items. Tommy leaned on the Amp next to her, watching people move around, "I don't want to move Tommy" Maggie grumbled, Tommy laughed lightly, "You'll love the new house though kiddo! You'll have so much space and Vince will be right down the road." Maggie forced a smile, "yeah...sure." Nikki called Tommy, making the drummer leave the lil' Devils side. Maggie hopped down from the Amp gently, then she grabbed bowie and left.

Maggie walked aimlessly down the sunset strip, loosely holding Bowie's leash. Her hair was gently blowing in the breeze, her headphones serving as a sort of headband, she looked around at the bustling streets of the strip. She loved her little place in west Hollywood, the Sunset strip was her home. Maggie sighed, deciding to sit down on a bench, Bowie curled up next to her, "Wind of Change" began to play softly through her headphones. Maggie looked up at the sky, listening to the word's carefully.

As Maggie began her walk back to the Mötley House with Bowie, she watched the Sun slowly set in front of her. Maggie stopped for a moment, watching the colors blend softly, she listened to the loud bustling of West Hollywood, smiling remorsefuly. Maggie walked up the concrete stairs of the shitty apartment building that she loved, Bowie trotting in front of her. Nikki looked down the stairs, a cigarette hanging loosely from his lips, "Hey, there's my Maggie May" Nikki smiled, watching the small girl walk towards him, "Hey dad." Nikki quirked his brow, "You alright kiddo?" Maggie shrugged, looking out at the city lights, "I'm just gonna miss this place. You raised me here, daddy, and it's my home. It's where we started Mötley Crüe! I-it's just important to me I guess" Nikki sighed, wrapping his arm around her shoulders, "Listen Maggie, I love this place too, but I love you more. Yes this place holds many memories, and yes it'll always be home, but We can make new memories at the new house. Everything will be alright as long as we have each other." Maggie leaned into her father, nodding gently, "You promise Daddy?" Nikki smiled, nodding, "I promise Maggie."

Nikki watched as Maggie stood in the middle of the empty apartment. He was leaning against the door frame, watching her. Maggie looked all around her, her eyes scanned the old walls of the beat up apartment, she took a deep breath before walking over towards her dad. "Ready to go kiddo?" Nikki asked, placing a hand on her head, Maggie smiled softly glancing back, before nodding, "Yeah. I'm ready."
