We go back in time in Fancy and Michael's relationship. Before Summer, before the marriage, before the dating, all the way back to a simple, yet strong friendship.
Both Michael and Fancy are 10 years old, right near the time when Michael and his brothers were going to Motown.
Chapter 1: Scoring Big and Mighty
Fancy's P.O.V
As I come home from cheerleading practice, I look over at Michael's house. Michael and I have been best Friends for as long as I can remember. We were born in the same hospital, we went to the same preschool and we go to the same school.
My sister Felicity was inside the house, playing with mother's makeup.
" Hi Fancy." She said, looking up from the mirror.
" Hi Felicity. Why are te playing with mom's makeup?" I asked curiously.
" I'm trying to find some lipstick to use for the upcoming dance. How was practice?" She asked.
I smiled. " Fine. I was the first one to do a backflip and successfully land on my feet."
Felicity laughed. " Ah, cheerleading. It was only a few years fa when I was where te are now."
I rolled my eyes. I hate when older siblings act like they own the world because they've done it first.
The doorbell rang. I look through the peep hole and see Michael. I smile to myself.
I open the door. " Hi Fancy!" Michael said, hugging me.
I hug back. " Hi Michael. How te doing?"
He smiled. " Better now that you're here."
I felt the blood rush to my cheeks. He always knew how to flatter someone.
I bit my lip. " So, is there something te need?"
He pulled something out of a bag. It was a record called " Big Boy". I smiled.
" Oh Michael! te did it!!!" I screamed, pulling him into a hug.
" Looks like you're più excited than me!" He chuckled, hugging me back.
" C'mon, let's go up to my room and play it!!!" I said, grabbing the record and racing up the stairs.
The lyrics were kinda surprising. But I liked the song. Michael and I danced and he twirled me around. We had a fun time.
I started to yawn. Michael glanced over at me. " Feelin' tired?" I nodded.
He smiled. " C'mon, I'll tuck ya in bed." I bit my lip nervously. I've never seen Michael act like this before.
I change into my flannel nightgown in the bathroom. I crawled into the bed. We lock eyes as he tucks the sheets over me. I give him a worried look.
" Michael, what if te are leaving? What if our friendship gets ruined? te think that this is the sign that you're hitting it big?
Michael's expression softened. " Fancy, just because I'm possibly leaving doesn't mean I'm not your best friend. I'll still Amore te just as much."
Michael pulled the sheets over me. " I'll see te later okay?" He said, flashing his cuore warming smile.
" Okay. Oh and Michael?" I said.
" Yeah?" He detto putting the record back in the bag.
" Thanks. You're a great best friend. And I Amore te too. I really hope te get that record deal." I said, meaning every word.
Michael giggled and gave me a sensual baciare on the forehead. " G'night Fancy. Sweet Dreams!" He said, before closing the door.
Michael's P.O.V
I flinch as I hear Joseph yelling. " Where is Michael? He should be practicing here with the rest of y'all!!!"
Nervously, I opened the door. Joseph glances over at me. " Where have te been? te shoulda been here practicing like your brothers!!!"
I gulp. " Um, well, I was at Fancy's house."
Joseph's eyes widened. " Boy, you're worrying over some quirky and giggly girl and we tryin' to be famous?"
I frowned. " Joseph, Fancy is più than some girl to me. She's funny, intelligent, smart and most of all, beautiful."
Joe rolled his eyes. " Just shut up Michael."
I walk into the living room. Tito and Marlon had angry looks on their faces.
" Michael, where have te been? We were stuck here trying to teach Jermaine and Jackie how to harmonize and they stink!!!" Marlon said.
Jackie rolled his eyes. " Hey, it's not my fault I can't score the high note James Brown makes at the end!"
I attraversare, croce my arms. Sometimes I wish I could escape to a paradise where I could be myself.
Tito runs his fingers through his Afro. " Why did Joseph have us teach them how to harmonize? They're unteachable!"
When Joseph comes in, we all try to act normal. Though, I think we failed miserably...

like your charm, your face,
just everything.
But the thing I think of the most
is that smile of yours.
Everytime I see it,
my cuore skips a beat
and my thoughts get Lost in it.
Your smile gives me butterflys in my stomach.
Your smile makes angeli sing, a song that fills the streets.
Without that smile,
there is no joy in this world.
No one can replace it.
There is no mistake that when te smile,
that wonderful, beautiful smile,
the world turns into a better place.
To: My LOVE, Michael Joseph Jackson

There were no albums bigger than Thriller and Bad, and Jackson seemed to be just entering his prime as an artist.
In hindsight, considering the astonishing heights he hit in the 1980s, maybe there was nowhere to go but down. On superiore, in alto of the world profeessionally, his persional affairs increasingly came under the microscope and seemed to gradually bleed the life and vibrancy out of the mercurial artist.
The new decade sarted off with Jackson in the studio, recording his new album, Dangerous. Jackson had recently signed a 15-years, six-record deal with sony, and if the singer was able to deliver sales numbers comparable to what he postato in the 1980s, the deal was estimated to have an earing power of up to $1 billion.
Dangerous got off to a great start-it debuted at number one and quickly outpaced the sales of Bad.
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending giorno da day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, te know,
Amore is all we need
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just te and me
Send them your cuore so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us da turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if te just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending giorno da day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, te know,
Amore is all we need
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just te and me
Send them your cuore so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us da turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if te just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
