Nicola smiled as she tightly clutched a letter from Oblivion Records; she had big news to tell her band-mates.

 She hurriedly kicked open the door of the tour bus and walked in with her hands behind her back.

"Hey Nikki Ruelle, what's got you in a good mood?" asked Luca as he and the others looked up from their writing with a smile.

"We got a record deal from Oblivion Records to tour with them, they work with Joan Jett, Guns 'n Roses and Queen. One of their representatives was at our last concert and wrote to me. What do you say guys?" Nicola asked, as she smiled at them.

"Oh hell, let's do it! When are we going to get another chance like this?" Luca exclaimed, as he and the others nodded in agreement.  "But wait, how the hell are we going to tell the Crue?" asked Luce, as she grabbed her drumsticks.

 "We'll tell them straight up, I told them to meet us outside." Nicola said, as she picked up her bass and walked out of the tour bus accompanied by her band-mates.

 They weren't waiting long until they heard the familiar voices of the Motley Crue members.

"How's it going Nicola? You sounded really excited over the phone, what happened?" asked Vince as he gave her a quick high five.

 Nicola locked eyes with Nikki briefly who gave her a quick smile. "How are you doing, Nicola?" he asked, as he rested his hands on her shoulders.

 "I'm doing pretty good, it's nice to see you Nikki." Nicola said, making him smirk. "Likewise, " he said as he released her arms.

She smiled at him quickly before setting her attention on all four of them. "So, we've got something to tell you guys." she began, and Tommy asked, "What is it darling? Please tell us more." making her chuckle.

"Okay, so you know how my band and I had that concert a few weeks ago?" Nicola said, and the guys nodded, "Yes how could we forget? You guys totally killed it!" Nikki said, and Nicola gulped before continuing.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you guys about, We got a contract from Oblivion Records to tour with them, they work with Joan Jett, Guns 'n roses and Queen. One of their representatives was at our last concert and wrote to me.

 But she said we need to move to Iceland to work on the album and sign the contract."

Vince's eyes widened in shock, "What?!" exclaimed Tommy, as he leapt to his feet "Why are you leaving us?" he asked causing Nikki to leap to his feet as well.

 "You're really leaving? But why?" he asked as he grabbed her arms. "It's to start working on our album, and then hopefully release it.

 I thought you'd be happy for me and the band, Nikki!" Nicola said, and Nikki sighed. "I am, it's just that I'm going to miss you guys." He said, as he let go of her arms.

 "I hope you guys write to us." Vince said, as he gave her a quick hug. "Of course we will, we'll try to write when we can." Nicola promised, as she and her band mates paused at the door.

"Goodbye Motley Crue, thank you for the head start." She said, and they smiled sadly.

"Goodbye Nikki Ruelle, we wish the best for you." Vince said, as she turned back and waved goodbye.

"Damn, I can't believe she is gone now." Nikki said, as he watched Nicola and her band mates get into the waiting cab.

 Once the cab pulled away he gave a sigh. "I was really hoping to record some songs with her and the band." He said, and Vince looked at him sympathetically.

 "Me too pal, but hopefully we'll be able to in the future." He said, and Nikki smiled slightly. "I sure hope so, I think it would be really awesome if we did." He said, as he thought of what he'd say to her once she returned.

 As he walked back inside the studio, he stepped on a piece of paper. "What the?" he thought as he crouched down, and picked it up.

 "Hey Vince, do you know who's handwriting this is?" Nikki asked, as he handed the piece of paper to Vince who looked at it, then covered his mouth in shock.

 "This is Nikki Ruelle's handwriting, man." He said, causing Nikki's eyes to widen in shock. "What?!" he exclaimed, as he took the paper from Vince again.

 "Looks like she wrote it to you, you should probably read it Nikki." Vince said, and Nikki nodded before sitting down to read it.

"Dear Nikki, these past few weeks I've spent with you and the guys were some of the best in my life. But recently it seems that we've all become very distant and haven't been hanging out as much.

 I'm sorry to say that myself, and the members of Starset will be leaving for Iceland to record our first album. Please know that I wish the best for the four of you. My hope is that we'll meet again someday.

Love,

Nicola Ruelle."

Once he'd finished reading he covered his mouth in shock. "Oh Nicola, I had no idea that you missed spending time with us." He whispered softly, as he stared at the letter in his hand. "Well, what does it say?" asked Tommy, as he sat down next to his friend.

 "I think you should read it, it's from Nicola." Nikki said, as he handed the letter to Tommy.

"What does she say?" Tommy asked, before reading the letter then covering his mouth in shock as tears built up in his eyes.

"Awe, that's so sweet that she'd say that about us. She's such a sweetie; I'm really going to miss her sassy remarks after our concerts every night.

 She really seemed to enjoy spending time with all of us, especially you." Tommy said, as Nikki looked at him with a questioning expression.

"What do you mean?" he asked, and Tommy chuckled.

"She really likes you, I noticed it right away the first time we met." He said, and Nikki's eyes widened in shock, he ran his hands through his hair in frustration, and sighed Tommy looked at his friend, and then sighed. "Calm down Sixx, we'll find a way to reach her." He promised, and Nikki breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh god, what do I say if I see her again?" He asked, and Tommy patted his friend's arm. "It's going to be fine," he said as his friend groaned in frustration.

"If I don't do something to show her how I feel, I might as well loose my mind." Nikki said, as he got up and began pacing back and forth. "Will you cut that out, Nikki?" Tommy asked, as he watched his friend pace the room wildly.

"Cut what out, Tommy?" Nikki asked, as he looked at his friend for an answer. "Can you quit with the pacing please, I already told you that everything will be fine." Tommy said, as he sighed in exasperation. "Well, what do you suggest I do to take my mind off of her?" Nikki asked, as he sat down on the couch again.

"I don't know, go play your bass or something." Tommy said, and Nikki shrugged. "That might work, but what happens if thoughts of her enter my mind?" he asked, and Tommy sighed.

"I don't know, just write a song about her then." He said, and Nikki grinned. "That's a great idea, thanks Tommy." He said, as he jumped to his feet.

Tommy laughed, as he watched his friend sit down with a notepad and pen. "I think I'll call it 'Wild Side' it will kind of show how I feel about her." Nikki said, as he scrawled the lyrics down onto the notepad smiling as he wrote.

 "God, I really hope she'll like this." He thought, as he continued to write while the lyrics seemed to pour out of his heart and onto the page.

"Aye Nikki, what are you doing man?" Vince asked, as he sat down next to his friend.

"I'm writing a song for Nicola, to show her how much I like her." Nikki replied, as he handed the lyrics to Vince. "That's sweet, so when do we start recording it?" Vince asked, and Nikki grinned.

"I was hoping that we could possibly record it tonight, if it's cool with you guys of course." He said, and Vince grinned. "Don't worry pal, we'll help you record your song for her." He said, and Nikki smiled gratefully.

"Thanks guys, that means a lot." He said, making Tommy and the others smile. "It's no trouble dude, we're happy to help." Vince said, and Nikki smiled. "Great, well let's get to work on the song for Nicola." He said, as he picked up his bass and eagerly hurried into the sound booth.

"Nikki, slow down man I get that you're excited to record this song for her, but could you please chill out for a minute?" Tommy laughed, as he set up his drums.

"Yeah, sorry about that man, I'm just really amped about recording this for her." Nikki said, as he felt heat rushing to his cheeks. "Awe, it's normal to feel self conscious when you're talking about a crush."

Tommy said, as he patted his friend on the shoulder. "How did you know you'd fallen in love?" Nikki asked, and Tommy smirked.

"Well, when I first met my wife Heather I wasn't really looking for love, but when I met her I felt like I wanted to do anything to please her." He said, causing Vince to grin widely.

 "It was the same for me when I met my wife Sylvie, she was at one of our concerts and after getting to know her I asked her to be my wife." He said, and Nikki smiled.

"Thanks for the advice guys, now I feel more confident on telling her how I feel if I ever see her again." He said, smiling slightly.
