2 weeks later
Rebecca is rather excited. One, Brandon just turned 1 last week. Two, the wedding is successivo week. Three, she gets to spend the giorno with Crystal and Brittany and all the other bridesmaids (Me: Janet and Kathy.) She had called her dad yesterday to see if he would walk her down the isle and he detto that he would Amore to. Rebecca started getting dressed for her giorno out with her friends. She was wondering what they would do today. 'I seriously wanna know what we're doing today...and Crystal won't tell me. Not even Janet!' She thought, getting her camicia on. Then she heard the doorbell. She went downstairs and opened the door to see Crystal. "Ready, Rebecca?" She asked all excited. Rebecca nodded and she went upstairs real quick and saw that Michael was awake. "Hey Michael." He looked at her and smiled. "Hey Rebecca. What te still doing here? I thought te would be out da now." He said. "I just have to give Brandon a quick baciare before I head out." She went over to his culla, presepe and smiled and kissed his head. "Bye Brandon. Have fun with your father while I'm gone." She then walked over to Michael and gave him a kiss, too. "You behave yourself, Michael. I don't wanna hear anything from Jackie o Chris, got it?" "I promise, Rebecca. I'll behave." She smiled and then headed out with Crystal, Janet, Brittany and Kathy.
After Rebecca left with the girls...
Michael was having his bachelor party and he was actually having fun. He, Chris and his brothers, along with Mac, went into Neverland and had water balloon fights and super soaker fights. They went on rides and watched magic shows and everything. Then when they went back inside the house, Mac brought out the presents for Michael. "Here te go, Mike. We got these for you." Mac said. Michael put Brandon between his legs and put one of the boxes in front of him. Michael and Brandon opened the box and he saw his book Moonwalk. "I thought I Lost this! How did te guys find it?" Michael asked. "It was in your room at Hayvenhurst, Michael. te left it there." Jackie said, chuckling a bit. Michael rubbed the back of his head and opened another present. It was a new scarf. "Wow...thanks, Jermaine!" "No problem, Michael. Look at the edge of the scarf." Jermaine said. Michael looked at the bottom of it and saw his very own initials, written in gold. Michael smiled and opened up all the other presents. He got a new movie (Jaws 2), the mike from Mr. Lucky's, a new sweater, a black jacket, and a picture of them all in front of the Hayvenhurst house (he about cried from seeing it and it was when they were recording 2300 Jackson Street). "Thanks, guys. This really means a lot." Michael let a tear fall down his cheek and he quickly wiped it away. For the successivo couple hours, he, Chris, Mac, Brandon and his brothers went back outside to play. Brandon threw his first water balloon at Jackie and he was giggling at Jackie's reaction. Michael was lucky enough to catch it on his phone so he could send it to Rebecca.
With Rebecca and the girls
They had finished what they needed to do and they were heading to Crystal's house to watch Labyrinth. Rebecca loved this movie because she loves seeing her dad act as the Goblin King. She occasionally acted as Sarah when she was 9 so she could get the part when they did it for a school play. She even had her own baby doll to have him help her out. They assigned parts on who's gonna be who and Rebecca actually agreed to be the Goblin King instead of Sarah. Brittany was gonna be Sarah and they each played a different goblin/monster. While they acted, Rebecca was having fun and so were the others.
2 hours later
The movie ended and they all had a blast. Rebecca couldn't believe how much she is of her dad. Janet was actually wondering something. "Why did te choose to be the Goblin King instead of Sarah?" She asked. Rebecca turned to her. "I Amore recitazione like the Goblin King. That's why." She told Janet. Brittany and Kathy were actually wondering something else. "Who's your father, Rebecca? te never told us anything about him. te only told us about your mother." Kathy said. Rebecca bit her lip and smirked at them. "You really wanna know who my father is?" They nodded and Crystal was giggling because she already knew. (Me: She's known because when Rebecca invited Crystal to spend the night when she was 10, Crystal met her father.) "My father is..." They leaned in closer to hear who it is. "David Bowie." She heard gasps coming from everyone. "Seriously?! David Bowie is your father?!" Brittany asked in shock. Rebecca nodded. "Yep. He is. The reason why I didn't tell te guys about him is because when I was 12, he divorced my mother. I rarely talk about my father, but I Amore him dearly." They all questioned her, except for Crystal, about her dad. This was as open as she would get, talking about her dad.
She looked at her watch and saw that it was around 4:30pm. "Well, girls, I think our giorno is up. I gotta make sure Michael didn't tear the house apart." She said. "Oh alright. Come on, I'll take te home." Janet said. Brittany and Kathy were staying the night at Crystal's house, so they didn't have to go anywhere. They gave Rebecca a hug before she got into Janet's car. "Can't wait until the wedding!" Crystal said. Rebecca smiled at her. "I know. I can't wait, either. Later, girls!" She waved from the passenger side of Janet's car and Janet drove off back to Neverland. During the drive, they were talking about what was gonna happen for the reception. "Well, what my dad had planned was that me and Michael could do a skit while he was Canto Magic Dance. For entertainment, te know?" "Ah, I see. That seems rather interesting. I'd Amore to see that." Janet detto rather interested. Rebecca smiled and they continued chatting on different things, Canto some of her songs like Rhythm Nation and the others, even Scream. Rebecca would have Michael's part and Janet would do her own part. It was a blast for them.
Upon returning to Neverland
The brothers, Chris and Mac just left and Michael was making sure everything was where it should be. Brandon went to his playpen and played with his toys. Once Michael cleaned up a little, he went to play with Brandon. Then, he heard a car drive up. He looked out the window and saw Janet's car and saw Rebecca get out. She thanked Janet for the ride home and she soon drove off, Rebecca coming up to the door. Michael got up and went to the door and opened it. "Welcome back, Rebecca." He said. She giggled. "Thanks, Michael. Did te have fun?" She asked. Michael grabbed her da the waist and kissed her and got her inside. "I did have fun, but it wasn't as much fun when te weren't here." "Aw, Michael. Well, did Brandon behave himself like te did?" "Yeah he did. He threw his first water balloon at Jackie." She giggled. "Brandon is definitely your son, Michael. We just gotta be careful with your super soakers. He'll più than likely get to them." Michael chuckled. "Yeah, I guess we'll have to hide them then." Michael went to hide his super soakers while Rebecca played with Brandon. Brandon started getting tired and Rebecca picked him up and rocked him to sleep. Michael came back to the living room and saw Rebecca with a sleeping Brandon in her arms. Michael smiled, walked over, sat successivo to her and put his arm around her. She turned to him and smiled and put her head on his shoulder.
A few days later
Rebecca was packing a set of clothes. She was staying the night at Crystal's house because tomorrow...is the wedding. Weeks earlier, she and Michael found a spacious room in a hotel not too far from where they were. At first, they were planning on having their wedding at the Staples Center, but it was a little too big. They were gonna have Friends and family attending the wedding and she was excited as she could be. Brandon was gonna be with her mother for the night and she already packed his little suit. Janet was picking her up any minuto to take her to her mother's house first before going to Crystal's house. "Oh I hope Janet gets here soon..." She muttered and apparently Michael heard it. He walked over to her and hugged her from behind. "She'll be here soon, babe. Don't worry." He reassured her. Soon enough, they heard a horn honking. "That must be Janet. Well, I gotta get going." She picked Brandon up and Michael walked her to the door. "I'll see te tomorrow, Rebecca." Michael kissed her and she kissed back then released the kiss. "Yeah. See te tomorrow, Michael. Tell daddy bye, Brandon." Brandon looked at Michael. "Bye, papa." He said. Michael smiled and kissed his head. "Bye Brandon." Rebecca walked out the door and got into Janet's car and waved at Michael. He waved back and then they drove off.
At her mother's house
Janet stopped the car and Rebecca got out with Brandon's stuff and went up to the door. She knocked on the door and her mother opened it. "Rebecca? I thought you'd be at Crystal's house da now." Her mother said. "I'm on my way there with Janet. I'm letting te take care of Brandon for tonight. Here's his things. His bottles and diapers and wipes are in there and so are a few of his toys. Think te can handle him, mother?" She asked. "Sweetie, of course I can handle him. I've been able to handle te when te were a baby. Now go on. Crystal is waiting for you." "Thanks, mother! Later!" She ran to Janet's car and got in and soon left for Crystal's house.
Arriving at Crystal's house
Rebecca and Janet got to her house and parked the car. They got their stuff out of the back sede, sedile and went up to the door and knocked. Crystal opened the door. "You guys made it! Come on in!" She detto all excited. She stepped aside and let them into the house and they got their stuff into the living room. (Me: When she left Neverland, it was about 4pm. Then when she and Janet arrived at Crystal's house, it was almost 5.) Crystal suggested they change into their pajamas and they did. They went back into the living room, in their pajamas, and sat in a cerchio with a karaoke machine in the middle of the room. Rebecca could tell it was gonna be a party. Janet and Rebecca sat successivo to each other, Crystal being on Rebecca's left and Janet being on the right. Kathy and Brittany were between Janet and Crystal. "First, I think Rebecca and Janet should start us off with a song." Crystal handed Rebecca and Janet a mike and they took it. Rebecca was afraid of what Crystal had in mind of the song they were to sing. When Crystal turned the machine on, Scream was the first one up. Rebecca chuckled and so did Janet. Once the Musica started, they got ready and started singing. Rebecca sang in Michael's voice.
"I'm Tired of injustice

[Janet]

Stop your pressure!"
Once the song ended, they all clapped and Rebecca and Janet bowed and gave each other a high-five. Then the party started and they all had to do one that would be very familiar...and that was Blood On The Dance Floor. Once it got to it, they were all excited and since Rebecca was dressed in all red, she was Michael. (Me: Kinda figured, huh? -Michael: yeah, figured, haha.- Me: Yep.) All in all, they partied until it was about 10pm. Rebecca called Michael before she went to letto and hoped he would pick up.
Back at Neverland
Michael just got out of the bathroom and heard his phone go off. He went over to pick it up and saw that it was Rebecca. "Hello?" He asked. "Hey Michael." She said. "Rebecca? I thought you'd be asleep da now." "I know, I should be, but I wanted to call te before I went to bed." "Who else is up?" "Crystal and Janet. We're thinking of something to watch before we sleep. Kathy and Brittany already fell asleep after we ended our little party." "Well, te should get to bed, hon. We have a big giorno tomorrow." "I know, I know. I'll let te go then. Night, Mike. Amore you." "Love te more. Night." Then they hung up. Michael was actually expecting her to call him before bed, which was rather strange how she read his mind. He got into letto and soon fell asleep.
Back at Crystal's house
Rebecca laid down on her sleeping bag. Her, Janet and Crystal agreed to put Beauty and The Beast on for them to listen to so they could sleep. During the middle of the movie, they all fell asleep. Rebecca couldn't wait until tomorrow...for it was the wedding. She fell asleep, with a smile on her face, knowing that she's marrying the best man she's ever met.
