And the Stars up Above-introduction

And the Stars up Above is a Green Day fan fiction. It’ll take place in their early days, from 1986 to 1992. I know that there will be people who don’t know Green Day who’ll read this, so I’m going to give people the basic information. For you who already know this, skip to “This story will be about…”

Billie Joe Armstrong is the singer and the guitarist in Green Day. He was born February 17th, 1972 and he is the youngest child of six. His father died of cancer when he was 10, leaving his mother alone to support the family, which wasn’t easy since she was a waitress. Billie Joe met Michel Pritchard, also known as Mike Dirnt, in the school cafeteria at the age of ten. Mike and Billie Joe became best friends and later formed the band Sweet Children which eventually would become Green Day. Mike plays the bass and does back up vocals in the band.
Mike was born May 4th, 1972. His biological mother was a heroin addict so Mike was put up for adoption. He was adopted by a Native American and her husband, but they divorced when Mike was only seven. When Mike was in fourth or fifth grade a new guy moved in with him and his mum, he had never met him before but all the sudden he was Mike’s stepfather. Mike and his stepfather didn’t get along for years, but when his mum had to move away from Berkeley and Mike didn’t want to go with her, he and his stepfather got really close. Mike stayed in Berkeley with his stepfather.
Jason Relva was Mike’s best friend when they were younger. All you Green Day fans probably already know what happens, but for you who do not know; you find out. The story will probably be a lot more exciting if you don’t know what happens to Jason.
John Kiffmeyer/Al Sobrante was Green Day’s first drummer.
Tré Cool plays the drums in Green Day. He was born December 9th, 1972.

This story will mainly be about Jason’s, Mike’s and Billie Joe’s relationship, the birth of a band and what happens in their lives. It’s a story about people, it’s a story about dreams, it’s a story about playing music, but above all it’s a story about everlasting friendship.
