We go back in time in Fancy and Michael's relationship. Before Summer, before the marriage, before the dating, all the way back to a simple, yet strong friendship.
Both Michael and Fancy are 10 years old, right near the time when Michael and his brothers were going to Motown.
Chapter 1: Scoring Big and Mighty
Fancy's P.O.V
As I come halaman awal from cheerleading practice, I look over at Michael's house. Michael and I have been best friends for as long as I can remember. We were born in the same hospital, we went to the same preschool and we go to the same school.
My sister Felicity was inside the house, playing with mother's makeup.
" Hi Fancy." She said, looking up from the mirror.
" Hi Felicity. Why are anda playing with mom's makeup?" I asked curiously.
" I'm trying to find some lipstick to use for the upcoming dance. How was practice?" She asked.
I smiled. " Fine. I was the first one to do a backflip and successfully land on my feet."
Felicity laughed. " Ah, cheerleading. It was only a few years yang lalu when I was where anda are now."
I rolled my eyes. I hate when older siblings act like they own the world because they've done it first.
The doorbell rang. I look through the peep hole and see Michael. I smile to myself.
I open the door. " Hi Fancy!" Michael said, hugging me.
I hug back. " Hi Michael. How anda doing?"
He smiled. " Better now that you're here."
I felt the blood rush to my cheeks. He always knew how to flatter someone.
I bit my lip. " So, is there something anda need?"
He pulled something out of a bag. It was a record called " Big Boy". I smiled.
" Oh Michael! anda did it!!!" I screamed, pulling him into a hug.
" Looks like you're lebih excited than me!" He chuckled, hugging me back.
" C'mon, let's go up to my room and play it!!!" I said, grabbing the record and racing up the stairs.
The lyrics were kinda surprising. But I liked the song. Michael and I danced and he twirled me around. We had a fun time.
I started to yawn. Michael glanced over at me. " Feelin' tired?" I nodded.
He smiled. " C'mon, I'll tuck ya in bed." I bit my lip nervously. I've never seen Michael act like this before.
I change into my flannel nightgown in the bathroom. I crawled into the bed. We lock eyes as he tucks the sheets over me. I give him a worried look.
" Michael, what if anda are leaving? What if our friendship gets ruined? anda think that this is the sign that you're hitting it big?
Michael's expression softened. " Fancy, just because I'm possibly leaving doesn't mean I'm not your best friend. I'll still cinta anda just as much."
Michael pulled the sheets over me. " I'll see anda later okay?" He said, flashing his jantung warming smile.
" Okay. Oh and Michael?" I said.
" Yeah?" He berkata putting the record back in the bag.
" Thanks. You're a great best friend. And I cinta anda too. I really hope anda get that record deal." I said, meaning every word.
Michael giggled and gave me a sensual ciuman on the forehead. " G'night Fancy. Sweet Dreams!" He said, before closing the door.
Michael's P.O.V
I flinch as I hear Joseph yelling. " Where is Michael? He should be practicing here with the rest of y'all!!!"
Nervously, I opened the door. Joseph glances over at me. " Where have anda been? anda shoulda been here practicing like your brothers!!!"
I gulp. " Um, well, I was at Fancy's house."
Joseph's eyes widened. " Boy, you're worrying over some quirky and giggly girl and we tryin' to be famous?"
I frowned. " Joseph, Fancy is lebih than some girl to me. She's funny, intelligent, smart and most of all, beautiful."
Joe rolled his eyes. " Just shut up Michael."
I walk into the living room. Tito and Marlon had angry looks on their faces.
" Michael, where have anda been? We were stuck here trying to teach Jermaine and Jackie how to harmonize and they stink!!!" Marlon said.
Jackie rolled his eyes. " Hey, it's not my fault I can't score the high note James Brown makes at the end!"
I menyeberang, salib my arms. Sometimes I wish I could escape to a paradise where I could be myself.
Tito runs his fingers through his Afro. " Why did Joseph have us teach them how to harmonize? They're unteachable!"
When Joseph comes in, we all try to act normal. Though, I think we failed miserably...

There were no albums bigger than Thriller and Bad, and Jackson seemed to be just entering his prime as an artist.
In hindsight, considering the astonishing heights he hit in the 1980s, maybe there was nowhere to go but down. On puncak, atas of the world profeessionally, his persional affairs increasingly came under the microscope and seemed to gradually bleed the life and vibrancy out of the mercurial artist.
The new decade sarted off with Jackson in the studio, recording his new album, Dangerous. Jackson had recently signed a 15-years, six-record deal with sony, and if the singer was able to deliver sales numbers comparable to what he diposting in the 1980s, the deal was estimated to have an earing power of up to $1 billion.
Dangerous got off to a great start-it debuted at number one and quickly outpaced the sales of Bad.
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending hari oleh day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, anda know,
cinta is all we need
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just anda and me
Send them your jantung so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us oleh turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if anda just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending hari oleh day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, anda know,
cinta is all we need
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just anda and me
Send them your jantung so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us oleh turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if anda just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
All anda gotta do is just walk away and pass me oleh
Don't acknowledge my smile when I try to say hello to you, yeah
And all anda gotta do is not answer my calls when
I'm trying to get through
To keep me wondering why, when all I can do is sigh
I just wanna touch anda
Chorus
I just wanna touch and ciuman
And I wish that I could be with anda tonight
anda give me kupu-kupu inside, inside and I
All I gotta say is that I must be dreaming, can't be real
You're not here with me, still I can feel anda near me
I caress you, let anda taste us, just so blissful listen
I would give anda anything baby, just make my dreams come true
Oh baby anda give me kupu-kupu
Chorus x 2
If anda would take my hand, baby I would tampil anda
Guide anda to the light babe
If anda would be my love, baby I will cinta you, cinta anda
'Till the end of time
Chorus x 3
Don't acknowledge my smile when I try to say hello to you, yeah
And all anda gotta do is not answer my calls when
I'm trying to get through
To keep me wondering why, when all I can do is sigh
I just wanna touch anda
Chorus
I just wanna touch and ciuman
And I wish that I could be with anda tonight
anda give me kupu-kupu inside, inside and I
All I gotta say is that I must be dreaming, can't be real
You're not here with me, still I can feel anda near me
I caress you, let anda taste us, just so blissful listen
I would give anda anything baby, just make my dreams come true
Oh baby anda give me kupu-kupu
Chorus x 2
If anda would take my hand, baby I would tampil anda
Guide anda to the light babe
If anda would be my love, baby I will cinta you, cinta anda
'Till the end of time
