(A/N: As I've mentioned, I have started combining birthdays and holidays into one chapter. This chapter will take place on April 1st, April 3rd, June 8th, and June 12th of 1998.)

921: INT. NEVERLAND RANCH (STUDIO) DAY FADE IN: 

Two months later, April 1st, 1998. 

RACHAEL: (recording)
Sit there, and count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl you're through
Sit there, and count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue
Sit there and count the raindrops falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use old girl, you may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue
When I was very young the world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strong with every star in the sky
Above the rings I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the silver and gold
No use old girl, you may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue... 

MICHAEL: That was great honey. Prince just called and he wants us to come and watch him and Mayte shoot their latest video. He wants the kids to come too. 

RACHAEL: That sounds like fun. (they all leave) 

922: INT. DANCE STUDIO DAY

Rachael, Michael and the kids visit Prince and Mayte as they shoot their latest video, "The One." 

DIRECTOR: And action!

PRINCE: (starts singing and dancing with Mayte)
If you're lookin for the man that will
Walk away, from responsibility
I ain't the one (I ain't the one) (I ain't the one)
And if you're lookin' for the brotha that'll treat
You like anything, but a Queen
I ain't the one
But if you're lookin' for a man that'll
Sweep you off your tired, weary feet
Pay your bills, buy you pretty dresses
And take you anywhere you wanna eat
Make love to you every night of the week
Oh, don't think it over, girl
Look no further I am the one
Oh yes I am
If you're lookin' for a man that'll make
Big money, and keep it all to himself
I ain't the one
No, no - not me
And if you're lookin' for a man that'll have 10 women
And confuse it all, with his wealth
Listen here, I ain't that one
No, no no - wait a minute
If you lookin' for a man who can share his dinero (his money)
Buy you half the town (half the town)
Treat every step you take (every step)
As if you're walkin', huh, on holy ground (holy ground)
Place you, place you above all others
When it comes, when it comes to the gettin' on down (down)
Look no further, ooh
Your man's around (he's around)
Oh yes he is
He's standing right here, right here (right here, right here)
Don't you look no further, girl
He's standing right here, right here (I am the one) (I am the one)
If you're lookin' for a man that'll make
You feel like time has just begun (Ooh)
A man that'll make you feel like you're
The only thing that ever mattered
Underneath the sun, underneath the sun
(Ooh!) If you're lookin' for somebody
Who will turn your bad day into one long night of fun
Look no further, baby
I'm (I- - I-- I--) I'm the one
Oh yes I am
I am the one
Don't you look no further, girl
Oh, I am the one
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh
My, my, my little Mayte
I'm the one.
