Axl booked them for an impromptu Show at the local Marriott for the next day. Tickets were $25.

Isn't that a little low? As in REALLY low? Cake Cream asked concerned.

Axl said, " You want your tickets to be low to get more People to see you. At $25 a pop, MOST People can afford that. And besides, you guys are new in the Music Industry. People want to see what you are about, especially live, so you want to start REALLY low. At $25 a pop if you get 300 People to see you, that's $7,500 right there.

That's way more than the $500 total you guys got to open for that Guns N'Roses show the other day and more than the $100 total you got at the bar set you guys did too.$300 tickets is when you are say The Rolling Stones. Are any of you a Rolling Stone? Are any of you named Mick Jagger? Axl questioned light heartedly. They all shook their heads. Then $25 it is.

They agreed and Axl had them practice their set. They were really good. Axl was proud. He went to a Gun Range and bought 6 Bullet proof vests. And he went to a motorcycle store and bought 6 motorcycle helmets. He went back home and gave them the bullet proof vests and the motorcycle helmets. Cake Cream was confused.

Axl responded,"You guys are becoming big stars. You need protection in case they are any gunshots or items thrown. The bulletproof vests will protect your body, the motorcycle helmets will protect your head. Duff got hit in the head with a glass bottle at one of our shows and he had to be rushed to the hospital. I'll be damned if I let that happen to any of you guys." They trusted Axl and tried them on. They fit okay.

They did more practice and Axl thought Security would need protection too. He hired Security and bought them bulletproof vests and motorcycle Helmets too. He painted "Cake Cream," on all of the helmets.

The next day, they all including Security showed up at the Marriott and were wearing the bulletproof vests and motorcycle helmets. 900 Fans showed up to see Cake Cream! Cake Cream and Axl were ecstatic. They did a great show and Fans loved their motorcycle helmets and pointed out no other Music Bands wore motorcycle helmets. Axl was proud of Cake Cream.

After the show, there was tremendous applause and all of Cake Cream took a bow. The show was over and it was time to collect the money. Cake Cream and Axl were ecstatic that they made over $22,000 on one show. The Security Guards got paid, People who helped make the show possible were paid and Cake Cream and Axl got paid. They decided to go to an Upscale Restaurant to celebrate their first big gig.

They went to Morton's The Steakhouse and had Waygu Ribeye steak, Lobster, and fries. They had chocolate brownie and ice cream. They had Champagne and Axl made a Toast to Cake Cream and they toasted him back. They had a great meal and paid and left and went home.

At home, they bathed and went to sleep. When they awoke, they went on the internet and saw glowing reviews of their Marriott Show. They were ecstatic. They were huge stars! Claven Records called Axl and told Axl they wanted Cake Cream to make a Sophomore Album today!

Axl protested this, pointing out that they had JUST released their Debut Album a couple of days ago and a Sophomore Album should be at least a year after the Debut Album. Claven Records continued to push they wanted a Sophomore Album from Cake Cream today! Axl felt pressured and disturbed that Claven Records wanted Cake Cream to make a Sophomore Album today.

He told Claven Records to hold on and they did. Axl asked Cake Cream if they were up to making a Sophomore Album today.

Cake Cream all said," Hell no."

Billy said, "We just did our Debut Album a couple of days ago. And just played a show yesterday. We don't want to do a Sophomore Album today."

All of Cake Cream agreed.

Axl said,"That's what I was thinking." He told Claven Records,"No can do." Claven Records continued to push a Sophomore Album today. Axl got really upset and said,"Cake Cream is TIRED. They just did their Debut Album a couple of days ago and did a show yesterday. They are TIRED."

Claven Records continued to push a Sophomore Album today.

Axl relented and said,"Okay, fine, you win. We'll have the Sophomore Album today."

Claven Records were satisfied and said they looked forward to the Sophomore Album today.

Axl told Cake Cream that Claven Records is pushing the Sophomore Album today.

Cake Cream protested this. Axl had a plan and told them it. He was going to ask Current Guns N'Roses to make the Sophomore Album today and have them act like Cake Cream did it. Cake Cream pointed out that this was risky and hoped it work. Axl hoped it would work too.

Axl called Older Axl, Older Duff, and Older Slash and begged them all to come to Billy's house and make the Sophomore Album for Cake Cream as Claven Records was breathing down their necks for the Sophomore Album today.

Current Guns N'Roses pointed out that a Sophomore Album should be at least a year after the Debut Album, not a couple of days after. Axl admitted he thought the same thing but pointed out Claven Records was really pushing that Sophomore Album today.

Current Guns N'Roses could see how desperate Axl was and decided to come over and impersonate Cake Cream for Younger Axl.

Axl thanked them. He was welcomed.

In about an hour, Current Guns N'Roses came to Billy's house to help out Cake Cream and Axl.

Both Axls were happy to see each other again and Older Axl said wryly, "If anyone else asked us to do what you did, we would have said no. You are so lucky we care about you guys so much. Cake Cream and Axl blushed. Axl wrote 10 songs again and Older Axl sang lead trying to imitate Mike's singing, Melissa and Dizzy played the Keyboards, Duff, Richard, Slash played guitars, Frank played Drums. They sounded good.

The Current Guns N'Roses pretending to be Cake Cream finished the Sophomore Album and Cake Cream and Axl were grateful. They were thanked. They all chatted for a bit and Current Guns N'Roses left. Cake Cream went to Claven Records and gave the Sophomore Album to Claven Records. Claven Records were satisfied and thanked them for the Sophomore Album. They welcomed them.

Cake Cream and Axl were offered 30 million plus Royalties for the Sophomore Album. Cake Cream and Axl accepted the deal and more paperwork was read, understood and signed. They went back home grateful Current Guns N'Roses did the Sophomore Album for them.
