The next morning Michael comes into the studio with a big smile on his face. George and Francis are sitting in director chairs talking over some last minute details about "Captain EO." Michael sits down in front of them never taking the smile off his face. "What are you smiling about?" George asks. Michael shrugs his shoulders, "I'm just happy that's all." Michael starts to look at some papers that are laying on the desk. Francis smirks, "Well George isn't it obvious! It has something to do with Holly." "Maybe is is" Michael says back. "Michael tell us how did it go?" Francis asks. "It went great! We went out on a date last night and Holly said she would give me another chance, and then we kissed." George laughs, "Man Michael you move fast!" All three of them laugh. "Well I want to say thank you you two for making go over to her yesterday because if you hadn't none of this would have happened." George bows his head, "Are pleasure." Suddenly a assistent comes up to Michael. "Mr. Jackson we need you for a final fitting." "Okay i'll be right there." Michael gets up to leave. "Oh before I forget Holly wants us to come over to her video sometime today." "Alright, we will pencil it in" Francis says.

A few hours later they go on to Holly's video set. Holly goes over to greet them. "Hey you made it!" "Of course we did!" Michael says. "Oh i'm so glad you did!" Michael and Holly start to passionately kiss right in front of George and Francis. "Would you two get a room already!" George says. Michael and Holly stop and and giggle to each other. "Hi guys how are you?" "Well I wish we were feeling as good as Michael right about now, but other than that were good" Francis says. Michael bites his bottom lip and looks at Holly. "Oh boys I forgot to tell you there will be another person on the set today." "Oh really who?" Michael asks. "Sophia Loren." "Really how is she here?" Michael asks confused. "Well she called me this morning and asked me if she could come, besides you guys have someone else to talk to today. So George Francis why don't you two go find her, while I go show Michael something in my trailer." Michael looks at her and gives her an evil grin. "Will you guys be okay without me?" Michael asks. "No we'll be fine you guys go have playing tonsil hockey with each other" Francis says. Holly and Michael start to laugh as they go to her trailer. "Good were alone now" Holly says in a seducive tone. "Did you miss me?" Michael says while backing Holly up against the wall. Holly runs her hand through Michael's hair, "Absoutly!" Michael goes to kiss her but abuptly stops. "Hey you not teasing me again like last time are you?" Holly giggles, "No not this time." They start to make out heavily for twenty minutes. Suddenly they hear a knock on her door. "Who is it?" Holly asks. "Oh no one just your manager Monica! Listen girl we need you back on the set in ten minutes." When they hear her leave they both look at each other and let out a sigh. "Well I guess we should get back out there" Holly says. "I guess so" Michael says defeated.

They go back on the set. They see Sophia, Francis, and George all sitting in directors chairs talking. "Well where did you guys run off to?" Sophia says. "Oh I had to show Michael something in my trailer." George and Francis are just smiling to each other because they know they were making out. "Well I should get back to work, see you guys later!" Michael sits down in a director's chair in between George and Francis. They both examine him. George lowers his voice and says, "Nice hickey Michael." Michael looks at both of them and gives them a cute little smirk.

A couple of glorious months goes by. Michael and Holly's relationship is back to the way in used to be. Michael finally sees that he truly loves her and that he was so stupid to ever let her go. One beautiful morning Michael calls Holly. Holly answers, "Hello." "Hey baby its me!" "Oh hi honey, how are you?" "Well a little lonely but if you say you'll go out with me tonight I won't be." Holly giggles, "Sure what time?" "Oh how about seven-thirty?" "Perfect I can't wait!" "Me too." "Oh where are you going to take me?" "That's for me to know, and for you to find out." "Michael why won't you tell me?" "Because i'm planning something really special for tonight, so pick out a pretty little dress of yours." "Just tell me!" Holly beggs. "Just be ready at seven-thirty sharp like I told you and you'll see!" "Fine, see you then!" Michael hangs up the phone. Bill walks in the living room. "Hey 'joker' who was that?" Bill asks. "Oh Holly I was telling her about tonight. Which by the way did you call to double check about the reservation?" "Yes I already took care of it, they are putting you two in the private room with the beautiful view." "Good because I really want this night to be special for Holly." "Belive me 'joker' it will be." Michael nods his head, "I hope so."

Michael is sitting on Holly's couch anxiously waiting for her. Michael goes yells up to her, "'Holl' come on! I told you to be ready at seven-thirty sharp and its now eight!" "I'm sorry there was purse shoe incident that threatened the whole ensemble, its complicated you wouldn't understand." "I don't want to understand I wanna leave!" "I'm sorry i'll be done in a few minutes!" "If your not down here in exactly three minutes i'm coming up there to get you!" Holly starts to walk down the stairs, "Well I thought after you saw the finished product you would understand." "Wow you look perfect! And your wearing two of my favorite colors!" "I know that's why I picked it, so you like it?" "I love it! Now come over here and kiss me beautiful!" They kiss each other. "Now take me to this special dinner of yours!" They go into Michael's rolls-royce. "Now Michael I beg of you tell me where were going!" "Well I thought how about a nice candle lit dinner at Le Dome." "Oh that sounds wonderful!"

They pull up behind the restraunt so the media won't see them. "Now 'Holl' i'm sorry but we have to go through the kitchen, is that okay?" "Yea it's fine!" "Are you sure?" "Hey as long as i'm with you i'm fine." She kisses him on the cheek. Michael bites his bottom lip and wispers in her ear, "That's what I like to hear." They go into the kitchen. "Look at all this food, man we need to go through kitchens more often!" Holly says. Michael laughs, "Come on, or we'll never get you out of here." The maitre 'd seats them in the private room with the view. The maitre 'd asks, "Mr. Jackson do you know what you and Miss Williams would like to drink?" "Yes we would like a bottle of Don Perion please." "Oh very good sir right away." "Champagne! You know last time I checked I was twenty not twenty-one" Holly says. "Well I don't think one glass is going to turn you into an alcoholic!" Holly laughs, "Your right! I just can't believe you did all this, I mean the candles the little rose petals on the floor, the beautiful view you just...your amazing!" "No you are" Michael says back. The waiter comes in with the champagne and pours it into two champagne glasses. Holly says, "Here's to true love!" Michael looks deep into her eyes and adds, "Always and forever!" They clink the glasses and take a sip. Michael looks at her. "You know Holly when I say always and forever I truly do mean always and forever." "I know you do." The waiter comes back in and they order. Soon they are left alone again. "Holly can I say agian how georgeous you look tonight!" "Thank you, you look pretty amazing too." Michael smiles at her, "So how long have we known each other?" Michael asks. "Uh I think it will be nine years this Febuary." "Nine years, God time goes by so fast!" "I know I remember when I first met you because you still had your afro!" Holly starts to laugh. "Ha Ha, make fun but back then that was the trend." Holly softly puts her hand on his, "I'm just playing honey." Then he puts her hand in his. He takes a deep breath. "Holly during those nine years you have been the only girl...woman i've loved. And yes I did screw things up but being the kind person you are you forgave me for it, and I am so thankful for that everyday. But during this past couple of wonderful months together i've noticed how much i've missed you, and how when your with me my life doesn't feel empty anymore it feels complete. So what i'm asking is." Michael pulls out of his pocket a little black velvet box. He gets on one knee in front of her and opens it. "Will you marry me?"

Will Holly say yes? Stay tuned...
