Michael really couldn't sleep, he went to get a shower and he changed his clothes. By 5:00 a.m. he was walking to the park. He knew Ashley wasn't going to be there cause he took her home last night and she was fast asleep. He then thought about his brother Jermaine. "How dare Jermaine fall for my girl like that" Michael said to himself. He had been lost in his thoughts for over an hour until he decided to go back home.
Meanwhile, Ashley had just awaken at 7:00 a.m. in the morning. She knew it was going to be a sad day because today was her father's funeral. Before heading downstairs, she turned on the TV in her room and watched the news on Michael's tour. "We are here today in the studio where Michael Jackson would've performed his concert" the anchorwoman said. "Would have?" Ashley said puzzled. "We have news that Michael Jackson has canceled his concert for a very important appointment at about 10:00 a.m." the anchorwoman reported. "10:00 a.m. is the time of my Dad's burial. Guess he really can't come" Ashley said with disappointment. Just then, Ashley's mother came rushing in Ashley's room. "Oh you're awake dear" Ashley's mother said. "Yes I am mom" Ashley replied. "Go downstairs and eat your breakfast. Then go take a bath and... just go get ready" Ashley's mother said. "Yes mom" Ashley replied. Ashley went downstairs and ate some breakfast. Then her mother gave her a news that almost got Ashley choking on her food. "Oh by the way sweetie, your friend Michael called. He said he's gong to be at the funeral today" Ashley's mother said. "He's what now?!" Ashley said shocked. So that's why he cancelled his concert. So he can come to the funeral. Oh my God the fans are going to kill me. "Mom is the number of Michael's phone there?" Ashley said nervously. "Yes" Ashley's mother replied. Ashley ran to the phone and dialed the number. At the first ring, the phone was answered. And it was Michael. "Hello?" Michael asked. "Michael, why?" Ashley said. "Why what?" Michael replied confused. "Why would you cancel your concert for my dad's funeral?" Ashley said. "Because... because" Michael said unable to answer. "Because what?" Ashley asked. "Listen can I talk to you privately? I know your mom's there in the kitchen. I'll just call you in your phone in your room" Michael said. "Sure" Ashley said. Ashley ran to her room and found her phone ringing. "Okay Michael, I'm alone now speak" Ashley said unable to control her patience anymore. "Because... because" Michael said once again unable to say the words. "Because what Michael" Ashley said. Then suddenly, Michael couldn't control his feelings any longer. He had to tell her. Otherwise Jermaine will snatch her away from him. "Because I love you Ashley" Michael said finally relieved. "You really mean that Michael?" Ashley said with tears rolling down her cheeks. "Yes sweetheart. I don't say things that I don't mean. I love you, I care for you, You're the most important thing in my whole life" Michael said passionately. "Oh Michael I love you too" Ashley replied with her heart pounding heavily. "Want me to pick you up?" Michael asked. "Sure" Ashley replied as she hung up the phone and got ready.

A little later I was walking down the dirt road at Skywalker Ranch and I saw a Fire Engine coming down the road and it’s bells were ringing and it’s horn was blowing, so I moved over closer to the ditch, thinking they needed more room to pass by, since it was a narrow road, and to my surprise, they blew the horn again and when I turned to look back at them I saw Michael hanging out the passenger side of the truck and waving excitedly, so I looked behind me thinking he was waving to someone else, but no one was there, so it suddenly dawned on me that he was waving to me. So I smiled and waved back, and he seemed to be as excited as a kid would be riding in a Fire Truck for the first time.
