Young Axl Rose showing up in 2022! :D

[Karen Nathan]

Axl had a strong feeling he was going to end up back in 1987 very soon. Guns N'Roses had all reunited, he had saved at least one Guns N'Roses Show, the Guns N'Roses hatchet was now buried and Cake Cream were now huge Superstars and the New Guns N'Roses. Axl felt like he had fulfilled his destiny, the reason he ended up in 2022 from 1987 in the first place.

Axl went to Billy's room and told him his thoughts. Billy listened intently. "Is there any way you will stay here with us in 2022? You're our Friend. We love you."

Axl said,"I feel that my returning to 1987 soon is very imminent. I love you guys too and you guys are my Friends too. Axl felt the need to confess something to Billy.

"Billy, I have a secret to tell you. Promise me you won't tell anyone. Promise me that you will keep this secret."

Billy promised to Axl to keep his secret. Just between you and me, Billy, you're my Favorite Cake Cream Member. Please don't tell anyone else," Axl told Billy honestly and heartfelt..Billy smiled and thanked him and promised to keep his secret and he wouldn't tell anyone. Axl welcomed him and smiled.

Billy said to Axl, Axl, you're my favorite Guns N'Roses Member. Please don't tell anyone else." Axl thanked him and Billy welcomed him.

Axl smiled and said,"Where do we go? Where do we go?" Where do we go now?" Making Billy laugh again.

Billy couldn't believe that Axl was going to be back in 1987 very soon. Billy wanted him to stay with them. Axl pointed out that him going back to 1987 was out of his control. Billy suggested they throw a going away party for him and Current Guns N'Roses give him a final send off tomorrow at Current Guns N'Roses Concert. Axl smiled and was up for this. Billy smiled back. They chatted into the night like old Friends and Axl and Billy slept in Billy's bed.

The next day, Cake Cream and Axl woke up and Axl struggled in how to tell them goodbye.

Axl said," Guys, be nice to Fans. Fans are a huge core of the reasons we're in this Music Business in the first place. Be respectful of them too."

"Loved ones are more important than money. Don't let money destroy the strong bonds you guys have.

"Take care of each other. You guys are going to need each other a lot."

"Always wear your bulletproof vests and Football Helmets or motorcycle helmets when performing."

Current Guns N'Roses love you guys. Heed advice they give you."

Jimmy asked,"Why do these advice tips sound like goodbye? Billy blushed thinking of the conversation he and Axl had last night.

Axl looked at the ground.

James asked,"Axl, are you going to move out soon?"

Axl responded,"Move out? More like move back."

Cake Cream besides Billy were confused.

Axl admitted he was going to end up back in 1987 soon. He had fulfilled his destiny. He told them he most likely would be back in 1987 tomorrow..

Mike said," We're going to miss you. Can't your fate allow you to live out the rest of your life in this timeline?" Axl shook his head.


Andy said,"We really don't want you to leave. We're like Brothers. We love you." Cake Cream agreed.

Axl responded he loved them too and considered them his Brothers too.

Axl admitted he had no control over this. Cake Cream soon made plans with Current Guns N'Roses to give Axl a really special sendoff goodbye to Axl. Axl smiled happily.

Current Guns N'Roses planned a special goodbye for Axl for their show that night. Along with Cake Cream. Cake Cream threw Axl a party at home with Cake and ice cream. Axl was sentimental as he knew this was the last night he'd be with Cake Cream. They all said their first goodbyes.

James pointed out that Axl should tell Claven Records that he was going to end up in 2022 very soon and tell them his goodbyes too. Axl thought this was a good idea and the rest of Cake Cream agreed. They got ready to go to Claven Records.

At Claven Records, Cake Cream and Axl told Timothy about Axl's soon imminent return to 1987 and Axl told Timothy goodbye.

Timothy responded,"Axl, you brought up one hell of a successful Band in Cake Cream. You are also a very dynamic and full of life person. We at Claven Records, Cake Cream, the Music Industry, Current Guns N'Roses, and your Fans are sure going to miss you." Axl, Cake Cream and Timothy all smiled. Axl asked Timothy to still continue to take care of Cake Cream even after he went back to 1987. Timothy agreed and Cake Cream and Axl smiled. They all said their goodbyes and left after chatting a little more.

At night, they all got ready for the special sendoff goodbye to Axl Guns N'Roses and Cake Cream planned. Axl once again made everyone wear motorcycle helmets and bulletproof vests.

At the show, Current Guns N'Roses dedicated their set to Young Axl and Cake Cream also performed songs dedicated to Axl. Cake Cream claimed they were dedicating their songs to Axl to thank them for getting them to be huge Superstars and being their Mentor, Friend, and Manager. Current Guns N'Roses claimed they were dedicating their songs to Axl to thank him for helping out Current Guns N'Roses and getting all 9 Guns N'Roses Members to bury the hatchet and end the bad blood. Axl smiled.

Axl performed Paradise City with raw emotions and tears rolling down his cheeks. Instead of singing the words Paradise City he sang, "1987,"He knew he'd be going home very soon, his REAL home in 1987 not Billy's house in 2022. He then sang ,"November Rain," with more raw emotion and more tears as another implication of him leaving 2022 very soon and also leaving Cake Cream and Current Guns N'Roses. He emotionally sang Sweet Child"and was extremely emotional at the ,"Where do we go? Where do we go?" Where do we go now?" Part And Cake Cream, especially Billy bursts into tears, knowing that part was their little silly catchphrase and inside joke for them.

As the show came to an end, Axl hugged all of Current Guns N'Roses, and Cake Cream goodbye and was hugged back goodbye. Everybody thanked Axl and he welcomed them back. Older Axl and Axl told each other a very emotional goodbye. Axl told Older Axl and the rest of Current Guns N'Roses, " "I leave Cake Cream in your care. Take good care of Cake Cream. Older Axl and the rest of Current Guns N'Roses smiled and promised Axl they would do what he told them to do. Cake Cream smiled. Axl smiled. Older Axl told Axl to take care of past Guns N'Roses and himself too and Axl promised with a smile to do so. Axl told them he was proud of all of them and loved and would miss them. They echoed his sentiments. Axl, Older Axl, and the rest of Current Guns N'Roses passed a baton from Current Guns N'Roses to Cake Cream as implying them to be the new Guns N'Roses. Cake Cream graciously accepted. At the very end, Axl bowed to Current Guns N'Roses and Cake Cream and to the Audience, and then they all took a huge bow. The Fans applauded wildly.

After the show, Cake Cream, Older Axl, and Current Guns N'Roses all had a private goodbye with Axl and Axl was overwhelmed in a good way. They all told him they would miss him and he echoed the sentiments. Late at night, Axl climbed into his bed at Billy's house for the final time, having a deep feeling he would be back in 1987 when he woke up the next morning. He asked Cake Cream if they would tuck him in and tell him goodbye. They said with smiles that they were planning to do so anyway. Axl smiled back and Cake Cream tucked him in and told him goodbye. Billy kissed his forehead and hugged him goodbye. Axl repeated,"Goodbye," with a smile and drifted off to sleep.

When he woke up, he was in his own bed in 1987.

[Karen Nathan]

Axl got out of bed and he heard a knock on his front door. He went to answer it and it was 1987 Slash. He opened the door and let Slash come in. Slash looked at Axl's black hair quizzically and said,"Why is your hair Black?Just last night, you had red hair."


Axl said,"You saw me with red hair last night?"

Slash responded,"Yeah. We all did a gig last night. You had red hair last night. Don't you remember?"

Axl responded," We did a gig last night, but you, Steven, Duff, and Izzy were all older. Much older. You, Steven, Izzy and Duff look great in your older ages, but I look awful in my older age compared to how I look now. And you, Slash, look about the same in the past as in the future." Last night must have been my Alternate self doing the gig with you."

Slash was confused. Are you saying me, Slash, Duff, and Izzy ended up being OLDER than you? We're all YOUNGER than you. And you saw your OLDER self? And your alternate self was performing a gig with us last night? Axl, what the hell is going on?" Slash was understandably perplexed and baffled.

Axl responded," It's a long story." He smiled.

Slash answered,"You want to tell me it? I want to hear it."

Axl looked deeply at Slash wondering if he should tell Slash about his 2022 time travel. His gut feeling told him he could trust Slash the same way he trusted Cake Cream and Current Guns N'Roses.

Slash told him,"I'm listening."

Axl told him about time traveling to 2022, Cake Cream, Claven Records, the Grammys thing, Older Axl, Older Izzy, Older Steven, and the rest of Current Guns N'Roses. He told him about his adventures in 2022.

Slash responded,"No wonder your hair is Black. Seems like quite the adventure. Slash was intrigued. Slash believed him which gave Axl great relief. He knew he could trust Slash with his 2022 adventure.

Please don't tell anyone in 1987 about my time travel adventure to 2022. Axl pleaded.

Slash responded,"They're going to figure out something weird happened since your hair was JUST red yesterday. Normal you didn't dye his hair Black," Slash said with a wink and a smirk.

Axl wondered if there were going to be two 25 year old Axl's running around in 1987. Slash responded,"I doubt it. Pretty sure you returning to 1987 restored the natural order and timeline so it should only be one Axl now. " Slash smiled.

Axl wondered how Cake Cream was doing and Slash reminded him they were in good hands with Older Axl and Current Guns N'Roses mentoring and managing them. Axl smiled.

Slash warmly welcomed Axl back to 1987 and Axl smiled again. Soon, Steven, Duff, Izzy were all at Axl's house too and they wondered why Axl's hair was black now when it was red last night. Slash and he exchanged knowing looks and Slash encouraged him to tell them about his 2022 time travel adventure, Current Guns N'Roses, Older Axl, Older Izzy, Older Steven, Claven Records, the Grammys thing, and Cake Cream. Steven, Izzy and Duff listened intently. They believed his story. Axl told them he hoped they'd all stay a group and not split up. He asked Steven to not get overly addicted to drugs. Steven said he wouldn't get overly addicted to drugs and they promised to stay a group. Axl smiled.

They ate and did a gig, Axl happy to be performing with his original Guns N'Roses Band in 1987 again. They all smiled back at him. He suddenly sang, Back In Black by AC/DC very emotionally and very fittingly. Slash, Steven, Izzy and Duff were in awe at how good he sounded doing the Back In Black cover and smugly smirked knowingly, knowing why Axl sang Back In Black. Axl was glad to be back home and with Original Guns N'Roses in his normal timeline.

Turkish Greetings and Responses for Everyday Usage

For language learners of all levels, knowing typical day Turkish greetings and expressions go a long way in daily life. It makes the difference between striking up conversations and forming friendships or walking on by exciting opportunities. People use daily greetings in Turkey everywhere, from the workplace, conservations with friends and family, or only doing the weekly shop. Turks love using them from the common "hello and goodbye" and "how are you?" to expressions from Islamic traditions.

First-time visitors to Turkey should keep their ears open to learn how the locals speak and pronounce the letters. Also, don't be afraid to put yourself out there. Turks admire people who take a chance when speaking their language and respond in kind. Immersion into Turkish society is easy because they are a friendly nation, but a whole other world opens for language learners. Some people take language courses, while others use online apps. The choice of how to learn is yours, but here are some standard Turkish greetings and responses to start with.

Turkish Greetings and Expressions

1: How to Say Good Morning in Turkish

In the UK, people keep to themselves and rarely strike up conversations with strangers, but in Turkey, every morning is an opportunity to greet and make friends. From the local shopkeeper to the man walking his dogs, everyone says the conversational expression of "gunaydin", meaning good morning. The Turkish word for "good afternoon" is Tunaydin; however, Turkish people rarely use that expression and refer to other sayings instead.

2: Merhaba: Hello

Once morning has gone, the tone changes to saying hello using "Merhaba", and Turks respond by using the same phrase back. For how to say it, pronounce it like mer-ha-ba. Used in shops, banks, other establishments, and between friends, the simple act of saying hello lightens the atmosphere and goes a long way. You can also use this greeting when speaking on the phone with people that you don't know. If you join close friends, another alternative is "selam.". Likewise, some Turks use the expression "Selam Aleykum," which is an Arabic, Islamic greeting, and the polite response is "Aleykum Selam."

3: Good Evening in Turkish

The typical expression of "Iyi Aksamlar" is used after 6 p.m. but before nightfall. If leaving or entering a restaurant, the waiter will say it, as an expression to say they hope your evening goes well. Likewise, if you leave an informal gathering of friends, depart with this friendly greeting, and they will respond in kind.

4: Iyi Geceler: Good Night

This formal greeting to show politeness signifies the end of the day, and Turkish people say it is when leaving or someone else leaves. Typically, good evening is said more often than this phrase but still learn it because we guarantee an occasion will arise to use it.

5: Have a Good Day in Turkish

So, what do Turks say between the period of morning and evening? Well, formally, "Iyi gunler" means good day, and this greeting is polite when talking with strangers. A shopkeeper might also say it, when you leave, giving their wish that you have a good day.

6: Nasilsin? How Are You?

Ah, this common expression used all over the world also applies to Turkey. To reply, say, "Iyiyim." The most important thing to note, though, is the addition of suffixes. The above term is informal. With formality, Turks say "nasilsiniz" (added iz to the end"). To know more about this language rule, check out formal pronouns for the Turkish language.

7: Iyi Yolculuklar: Good Journey

This is when the Turkish language comes into play because whether it is an informal or formal discussion, this standard greeting applies when a person departs on a journey. It may be a flight or a drive to the next town, and the meaning is pleasant travels.

8: Gurusuruz: See You Later

Get ready to use this phrase everywhere because it applies to many occasions. Not only will you get many chances to say it, but you will hear it often as well. The tone should be light-hearted and happy to reflect that you are looking forward to seeing that person again. Likewise, friends say this among each other to cement arrangements to meet.

9: Buyrun: Go Ahead

When people enter shops, the owner will motion for them to browse around by saying, "Buyrun." Another example is on public transport, and someone gives up their seat, meaning go ahead as a prompt to sit down. If someone wants to ask you a question, you can respond with this greeting to signify that you are ready to listen.

10: Hos Geldiniz: Welcome

Every stranger is a friend in Turkish culture, so expect to hear this phrase often, even when meeting someone for the first time. Some airports display it, friends say it when visiting their house, and likewise shopkeepers when entering their store. Depending on how close they are, the Turkish greeting of kissing the other person's cheek accompanies it. This is another occasion when the formal and informal (Hos Geldin) versions used. The polite reply is hos bulduk, but Turks don't reply when entering stores.

11: Tesekkur Ederim: Thank You

Turks love polite people, so practise this phrase frequently. Tesekkur ederim is the formal version. Generally, close friends or casual acquaintances will say "sagol," which is informal. Another shortened version is Tesekkurler. This greeting is worth reciting to learn off by heart because in day-to-day occurrences, so many opportunities will arise to use it.

12: You're Welcome in Turkish

Someone has thanked you for doing a good deed, and you want to be super polite with a response and say you are welcome. In that case, say "Bir sey degil", which means it is not a problem. For a more formal response to strangers, say "Rica ederim," which means you are welcome.

The end.

In 2022, after Axl had went back to 1987, Cake Cream heeded his advice and did shows wearing bulletproof vests and motorcycle and football helmets. They were always nice to Fans. Older Axl, Older Izzy, Older Steven, and the rest of Current Guns N'Roses really embraced Cake Cream as Family and took care of them. Fans wondered where Axl was and they responded that Axl went back to 1987, his destiny fulfilled. Cake Cream were hailed as the new Guns N'Roses and remained together and huge Superstars. Claven Records also took care of Cake Cream too. Cake Cream knew that Axl was proud of them somewhere in 1987. They also took care of each other. Billy never revealed that Axl told him that he was his favorite Cake Cream Member.

They all missed Axl terribly but knew that Axl couldn't remain in 2022 and needed to be back home in 1987. They cherished the photos they had with him and the filmed appearances they had with him. They cherished their time with him. They cherished the New Artist Grammy Award that Axl helped them get. They cherished the Memories they had of Axl.

Axl in 1987 constantly thought about Cake Cream and 2022 Guns N'Roses. He cherished his time with them and constantly wondered how they were doing. He was proud of all of them. He missed all of them dearly.

I don't know if I will try to get it published. I'm thinking of printing it out and letting my Friends read it however.

So many unrealistic things happening in my Fictional Axl Rose story.



Axl time traveling from 1987 to 2022. Fans of Axl/Guns N'Roses just accepting that Axl time traveled to a different Century. They're just like,"You time traveled from 1987 to 2022? Cool." And aren't freaked out about it or anything like that.

Young Axl and Older Axl actually coexisting and interacting with each other when realistically one of them should have vanished when Axl time traveled.

Original Guns N'Roses from 1987 just blindly accepting that Axl time traveled from 1987 to 2022 and was now back in 1987. And not thinking Axl was on drugs or crazy or something like that.


Cake Cream selling their DEMO for $100,000. DEMO! So unrealistic.

Cake Cream dropping a Debut Album and their Sophomore Album just a couple of days apart.

Claven Records just blindly putting Cake Cream music on Itunes when it either sounds scarily similar to an existing group or doesn't really sound like them.

Axl still walking around with his normal ID even after he got the fake ID. MOST people wouldn't have been walking around with the 1987 in 2022.

Cops looking constantly for Axl at Cake Cream's house when Axl JUST started knowing who they were in the first place. Realistically, they should have been checking Older Axl's)Other Current Guns N'Roses houses. Not Cake Cream's house. Realistically speaking, he'd be hiding in a Guns N'Roses house. Not Cake Cream.
