The following day at the studio
Becca was ready and she had her laptop with her. She walked into the black box and put her laptop carefully in her locker and locked it. She put her hair up in a ponytail and got her trainers out of her bag and switched her loafers out with them. Kenny saw her in there and walked in. "Oh, Becca. I'm so glad your here early." He said. She turned and saw Kenny walking toward her. "I'm always here early, Kenny. What do you need?" She asked. "We need someone to do the dancer for Black or White today. Can you do it?" "Black or White? Well, I'll do it. Did anyone else want to do it?" "No one can do the dance like you. Travis told me that you were the best one in the dance academy when he was your teacher." "Oh he did?" "Yeah, so you'll do it?" "Of course I will, Kenny. No need to worry." "Alright! Michael should be here soon so let's get you ready, ok?" "Alright." Kenny took her out of the black box and into the make-up room and they messed with her face a bit and her hair. Soon, they had her looking like a Hindu dancer. Well, more like an Indian. Then it was time to rehearse. She went onto the stage and saw Michael and he saw her. His jaw dropped at how she was dressed. Appropriate clothes were used in place of the Hindu tradition clothes. "Wow...you look beautiful." He said as a blush creeped across his cheeks. She smiled and looked down slightly. "Thanks, Michael." Then they went into the rehearsal, going over it a few times before taking a break.
During break
Everyone else went out to eat real quick and Becca went to the black box with Michael following her and got her laptop out of her locker. They went into a private room and Becca sat down on the couch with Michael sitting next to her. Katherine was also in the room, since Janet took the time to get Katherine to the studio. Becca logged into her laptop and started Skype. She signed in and looked at who was online and who wasn't. Her mom just got on and started the video call. "Ready, Michael and Katherine?" She asked. They nodded and she told them to be hidden until she says to come out, especially Michael. Soon, her mom answered the call. "Moshi moshi?" She answered. "Konnichiwa, Mama!" Becca said. (Me: If needed to know, I'll tell you what they said in the conversation since I have to put Japanese in at the end.) "Aa, Becca. Genki?" "Genki yo. Otanjoubi omedetou, mama." "Arigatou, Becca. Anata wa doko ka?" "Sutudio." "Aa, sutudio? Naze?" "Rehaasaru, mama. 'This Is It' no rehaasaru." "Aa, hontou?!" "Hai hai. Eigo de ii?" She nodded. (Me: This was their convo: "Hello?" "Good afternoon, mama!" "Ah, Becca. How are you?" "I'm good. Happy birthday, mama." "Thanks Becca. Where are you?" "Studio." "Ah, studio? Why?" "Rehearsal, mama. This Is It rehearsal." "Ah, really?!" "Yes, yes. Is English good?" That's the whole conversation translated into English. Now you got a Japanese lesson.) "Ok, Mother. I have two people here with me in the room. One of them will be a surprise for you." "Ok. Who's number one?" "Katherine." Becca motioned for Katherine to sit next to her as she put her laptop on the table in front of them. Katherine waved at her. "Hey, Kellie, long time no see." She said. "I know, it's been a while, Katherine." "Happy birthday." "Thank you." "So how's everything?" "Everything's alright. Just got back from lunch with my husband." "Oh? Where did you and Daisuke go?" "Mt. Fuji." "Oh that place sounds good." "Is Becca behaving over there?" "Yes she is. She's had a wonderful time." Becca looked off to the side a bit. "Well, I did get home sick, Mother. I was debating on coming home to celebrate your birthday or video calling you." Becca said. "Either way, I'm glad I get to see you." Becca giggled. "Well, I have to go. Janet is waiting for me outside to take me back to the house. Hope you have a wonderful birthday, Kellie." "Thank you Katherine. Talk to you next time." Then Katherine got up and gave Becca a hug and Michael sat down next to her, making sure he's out of the camera's way. Becca moved over to the camera. "Did you like that mother?" "Yes I did. That was lovely getting to talk to my friend again." "Well, Mother, there's one person next to me and that person is gonna be singing you a song for your birthday." "Does the person know my favorite song?" "Mother, yours is obvious. It's Human Nature. Well, ready to see the person?" "What?" Becca put her hand over the camera and moved it, along with the table, over to the left. "Close your eyes, mother!" "Ok." She closed her eyes and Becca had to make sure she could see Michael in the camera and covered it back up. "Ok, mother. Open your eyes and I'll uncover the camera." She saw her mother open her eyes and she uncovered the camera. Her mother's jaw dropped and she about squealed. "Michael Jackson?! Oh my god!" Michael chuckled. "Hello, Mrs. Yamamoto. How are you?" He asked. "I'm doing fine. How are you?" "I'm good. Your daughter here is such a little helper." He gave her a side hug and pulled her to him to have her smiling and doing a peace sign. "She is? Wow. She's a lot like you, Michael Jackson." "I figured that out on day 2 of the auditions when she auditioned with 200 others. Well, ready for the song?" "Yes!" Then Michael started singing.
"Looking out across the night-time
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs
Get me out into the night-time
Four walls won't hold me tonight
If this town is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
If they say, why, why? Tell 'em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Tell 'em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
Reaching out to touch a stranger
Electric eyes are everywhere
See that girl, she knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
If they say, why, why? Tell 'em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Tell 'em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
I like livin' this way, I like lovin' this way
Looking out across the morning
The city's heart begins to beat
Reaching out, I touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street
If they say, why, why? Tell 'em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Ooh, tell 'em
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Cha cha cha
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say why, why, why? Ooh, tell 'em
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Ooh, tell 'em
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Da da da
Why, why does he do me that way?
I like livin' this way"
When he finished, she was clapping and crying. "That was so beautiful. Thank you so much, Michael Jackson." She said. "Becca begged me to do it." He told her. "Did she?" "No, I didn't mother!" Becca said and Michael put her in a head lock. She was giggling and Michael chuckled. "I heard from someone that you two kissed." They looked into the camera. "Was it Jackie? Or Joseph?" They asked. "Jackie. He tweeted that his own little brother kissed a girl. May I see it?" Her mother was really curious and Becca could tell. "Ok, mother." She said and Michael got her out of the head lock. They leaned in and kissed and her mother squealed. "Awe, my little baby is growing up!" They broke the kiss and she turned to the camera. "Mother, you know I'm 19. Yes I did grow up, haha. Well, we gotta go, Mother. Our break is about up." "Ok, well, thank you for calling. Love you sweetie." "Love you too, mother. Tell father I'll be looking forward to his call later." "Alright. Bye." "Bye, and again, Happy birthday!" "Thanks, bye." Then they hung up on the call. "She's happy, I can tell." Michael said. "Yeah she is. Well, let's get going to the stage." Becca got up with Michael, only to be pushed against the wall. "Michael? What's gotten into you?" She asked. "Who said we had to go back to rehearsing?" He asked back. Becca's eyes went wide. "Uh...I think Kenny said that. And you said that missing even one day could mess a person up. So, we should-" She was cut off by Michael kissing her passionately. She was in utter shock, but kissed back. When they broke the kiss, Becca looked into his eyes. "You know what? For a 50 year old, you are really romantic." She told him. "I thought you said age was just a number?" He asked. "It is just a number. Let's just go back to rehearsal ok?" He nodded and they got out of the room and she fixed her hair yet again and they went back to rehearsing.
Returning home after rehearsal
Becca walked into the house and went into her room with her laptop. She put her laptop back on it's charger and she went over to Cookie's cage. "Hey Cookie, you hungry?" She asked and Cookie squeaked. She giggled and got a few carrots she got at the store and put them in the cage for her. "There you go, girl. You're gonna need them. I'll get you some rabbit food tomorrow after rehearsal. Wait, there's no rehearsal tomorrow. Right. I'll get you some tomorrow then." She then went to her closet and got out her pajamas and changed. 'I can't wait until the day after tomorrow. We're gonna do Jackson 5 stuff! Yes!' She thought getting into bed. "Goodnight, Cookie." She then turned off the light and soon fell asleep.
Becca was ready and she had her laptop with her. She walked into the black box and put her laptop carefully in her locker and locked it. She put her hair up in a ponytail and got her trainers out of her bag and switched her loafers out with them. Kenny saw her in there and walked in. "Oh, Becca. I'm so glad your here early." He said.

Today is the two-year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death -- and the saga has played out like a soap opera about betrayal, jealousy, love, greed and redemption.
When TMZ broke the news, it triggered a flood of stories about Jackson's struggles with drugs, the doctors who enabled him, the mystery surrounding his death, a little known drug called propofol, a family war against Michael's estate, a full court press to erase Michael's debt, and a posthumous marketing campaign to rival Elvis.
Take a look at TMZ's timeline from the moment we found something was terribly wrong with Michael.

In a lost world
I hear your voice
Calling for heaven
Cast away
Caught in memories
You must believe
Love will come through
I’ll be your angel
In your darkest night
I’ll be your destiny
Waiting by your side
I’ll be the sunshine
When you’re feeling blue
I’m always here
For you
Comes a day
Heart on fire
When all your faith
Seems to be missing
Go your way
And you’ll find there
A land of hope
A land of dreams
I’ll be your angel
In your darkest night
I’ll be your destiny
Waiting by your side
I’ll be the sunshine
When you’re feeling blue
I’m always here
For you
And when you lose it all
And nothing seems right
Just keep holding on to me
I’ll be your angel
In your darkest night
I’ll be your destiny
Waiting by your side
I’ll be the sunshine
When you’re feeling blue
I’m always here
For you
Michael my heart,
last night I dream of you,
you were embracing me from my back.
I heard your heartbeat and it beats so fast,
like our promise that our love will never end.
We had so much fun together,
that I wished to go on forever.
Talks and laugh ,kissing and cuddling,
like no other people existing.
Holding each others hands while we walked,
all your attention was just for us.
I can't think of anything when you talked,
but I love you more and more, you see.
We stopped walking and you looked at me sweetly,
then you leaned over and kissed me.
My heart popped out and I saw butterflies,
you said you love me truly. oh sorry and then, I awake up and my dream was to end.
It was still a memory to reminisce, your kiss was so tender and sweet.
Love and miss you !! ♥

Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile...
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
