The months passed and soon it was almost time for Michael to leave on the Bad tour. Tatiana smiled devilishly because she knew that it was almost time to put her plan into action. But until then, she would pretend to be supportive of Michael's relationship with Breanna.

One day after rehearsal,Tatiana accidentally overheard a conversation between Frank and Quincy. When she heard them mention Michael's name, she decided to listen more closely.

"The Bad tour dates are set.",Frank announced proudly.

"That's great", said Quincy. "So when are you going to tell Smelly the good news?"

"Well, actually I have good, bad, and worse news.",Frank said hesistantly.

Quincy furrowed his eyebrows. "What are you talking about?", he demanded.

Frank sighed and took out a Cuban cigar out of his drawer. He put it in his mouth, lit it, and exhaled a puff of smoke. He sighed again.

"The good news is that we are going to make a lot of money on this tour.", he said with a smile.

"And the bad and worse news is?"

"The bad news is that the Kid is going to be gone for 2 yrs and the worse news is that you get to tell him that."

"What?!", cried Quincy.

"Good luck because I have a feeling that you are going to need it.", said Frank.

When she heard Frank tell Quincy that the Bad tour was going to be for 2 yrs, Tatiana wanted to turn cartwheels all over the studio. Now she knew that she would have a chance with Michael. She also knew that he would be lonely and she planned to be there to comfort him. There was no way that he would be able to stay faithful to Breanna. Long distance relationships were the most difficult relationships to maintain because of all of the temptations on the road. Tatiana did not know where they were going and she did not care. By the time that the tour was over, Michael and Breanna would be history and he would belong to Tatiana.

The next day,Tatiana forced herself not think about the tour. When she arrived at the studio for rehearsal, she noticed that Breanna was not there and she smiled. Good. Because I'm tired of seeing her face. As she rehearsed the routine with Michael to "The Way You Make Me Feel", she was unable to keep the smile off of her face.

During lunchtime, Michael confronted her.

"Ok, what is up with you, Tatiana?", he demanded, folding his arms across his chest.

"What are you talking about, Michael?", she asked innocently.

"You have been smiling all day. What are you up to?"

"What? I can't smile? Tsk, tsk, Michael you really do need to learn to trust people. Its not good to be paranoid all of the time."

She smiled and tried to walk away, but he blocked her path.

"Tatiana, you must really think that I'm stupid. For months, you have had an nasty attitude every time that you have seen with- Wait, a minute I know what you are up to and I'm gonna tell you right now that its not going to work."

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"Oh , don't try to play innocent with me. I know that you think that you are going to flirt with me because Breanna is not here, but you can just forget it."

She laughed.

"What's so funny?", he demanded.

"You are, Michael. You are so full of it that it is ridiculous. I know that you are with Breanna and that I don't have a chance with you."

"You never did, Tatiana."

"Michael, as hard as it may be for you to believe this, I am really happy for you and Breanna. And all I want is to be your friend.", she said and walked away.

After rehearsal, Quincy invited Michael and his entourage over to his house for dinner. Tatiana smiled to herself because she had a feeling that Frank was going to break the bad news to Michael about the upcoming tour.
------------------------------
During dinner, Tatiana was nice to Breanna, who was just suspicious of her like Michael had been rehearsal.

"You look so cute tonight, Breanna. I just love that dress on you.", she said, looking at Breanna's long pink and silver sequined dress.

"Um..thanks.", murmured Breanna. Girl, please I know that you don't like me and I don't like you, so you need to stop frontin., Breanna thought,taking a bite out of her t-bone steak.

That dress would look so much better on me., thought Tatiana.

"Everything is delicious, Q.", said Michael and everybody agreed with him.

"Don't tell me. Tell my wife", Quincy said with a laugh. He looked at his wife, Peggy Lipton, who beamed.

Frank cleared his throat. "Um, Quincy is there something that you want to tell Michael?"

Quincy glared at Frank. He did not want to tell Michael because he knew that he would freak out. He sighed deeply.

"Michael, the tour dates for the Bad tour have been set.", he said.

"That's great, Q.", Michael said absently. He picked up his glass of Minute Maid and started to drink it.

Quincy sighed again. "The tour is a world tour and you will be gone for 2 yrs."

Bring on the fireworks., Tatiana thought.

Michael choked and sputtered on his drink. Frank, who was sitting beside him slapped him on the back.

"Pardon?", Michael said when he could speak again.

"I said that the tour is a world tour and that you will be gone for 2 yrs."

Michael's eyes widened and he stared at his manager in shock. Breanna wiped her mouth and stood up.

"I need some fresh air. Excuse me.", she said and ran outside before Michael could stop her.
