Michael didn't respond, he looked down feeling embrassed."Answer me, do you like this girl?" Joesph demanded.A moment later Michael quietly said"Yes". "Michael, we're going to talk more about this! Come on, let's go!" Joesph said grabbing Michael's hand and walking out the park.The four boys looked at Mariah and Mariah looked at them.Mariah heard the answer Michael gave."Michael likes me?" Mariah said."Oh yeah!" The four boys said.The four boys saw her blush."You like our brother back?" The four boys asked."Yeah, he's sweet and adorable! I have a crush on him" Mariah replied shyly."Ok" The four boys said leaving the park making Mariah alone."She likes Michael too!" Marlon said happily."Michael's gonna be so excited when he hears this!'' Jermaine said.They got in the car and they saw Michael's cheeks bright red.Joesph started the car and drove."What did Joe talk to you about?" Jermaine asked."He asked me about her and how did I meet her and he said I could never get a girl like her" Michael said holding back tears."That's awful but we got good news that make ya stop cryin'!" Marlon said."Really? What is it?" Michael asked."Mariah heard you say yes to Joesph's question" Jermaine said."Well that's humilating" Michael said."But... wait for it, she likes you too!" Jackie said."ARE YOU FOR REAL?" Michael said suddenly excited."Yeah we are!" The four boys said."You guys made my day, I love you guys so much!" Michael saud."Aww, we knew you would rave about it!" Marlon said."Oh yeah, Mariah likes me back! She likes me back!" Michael said dancing."She said you're sweet and adorable too" Jackie said."You're sweet and adorable to her!" Tito said.Michael blushed. They got home and greeted the family."How was rehearsal boys?" Katherine asked.
"It was good!" The four boys said."Wonderful!" Katherine said."Mom, can I speak to you private?" Michael asked. "Of course sweetie" Katherine said.They went to a place where they would be alone."So mom, you know that girl I like?" Michael said."You mean Mariah?" Katherine said."Yeah! She likes me back!" Michael cheerfully said."That's amazing sweetie, does she know?" Katherine asked."Yeah and I'm happy she does!" Michael said smiling."My boy, go get her!" Katherine said."I am" Michael said confidently."Is that all you wanted to talk to me about?" Katherine asked."Yeah mom" Michael said. Then they went seperate ways.A few hours later, it was dinnertime. The Jacksons ate and Michael didn't tell her a thing about the convo Joe and he had in the car.Too embrassing.Then the family got dressed for bed and went to bed.The Jackson Five got school and rehearsal tomorrow.
