Monday, AUGUST 29th, 1994
James was the first one to wake up the next morning. Followed by Bruce, then Chris, then Steve, then Stevie, and then Huey, then Lionel, then Quincy, and finally Prince, followed by Kayden.
"Where are the Jackson brothers?" Prince asked, rubbing his eyes as he entered the living room, "Somebody has to wake Michael up!"
Bruce, who had been lying on the couch watching the TV, glanced at his watch and furrowed his brow, "They should've been up by now. Maybe they're with Michael."
Upstairs, the Jackson brothers all emerged from their rooms. Jackie was the first, then Tito, then Jermaine, then Marlon, then Randy.
"What do you say we all play that 'Monkey On The Bed' game to wake up Michael?" Randy grinned mischievously.
"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!" Maron grinned, "I'll get the other guys!" he said before running halfway down the stairs to get everyone's attention, "Guys! Come help us wake Michael up! We're gonna play 'Monkey's on The Bed'!"
Bruce, James, Steve, Huey, Prince, Stevie, Quincy, Lionel, Kayden, and Chris eagerly joined in the game, chuckling at the playful idea to rouse Michael from his slumber.
Laughter filled the room as the group of musicians and entertainers positioned themselves around Michael's bed, ready to pounce and tickle him awake.
"On three," Jermaine smirked, "One....two.....three!"
The group of friends and family members leaped onto Michael's bed, giggling and tickling him as he groggily woke up with a start.
"Fifteen monkey's jumping on the bed!" Chris exclaimed, hollering in laughter.
Michael let out a surprised yelp as he was bombarded by his enthusiastic friends and family. His initial confusion quickly turned into laughter, the tension from the previous night dissipating as he playfully swatted at their hands tickling him.
"Alright, alright! I'm up, I'm up!" Michael chuckled, his voice laced with amusement.
The room was filled with joy and mirth as the group continued to tease and tickle him relentlessly.
After a few minutes of playful chaos, Michael finally managed to push himself up into a sitting position on the bed, breathless from both the laughter and the unexpected wake-up call. His eyes scanned the room, taking in the smiling faces of his loved ones.
Bruce clapped him on the back, a wide grin on his face, "Good morning, Michael! Ready for the big day?"
Michael's face broke into a wide smile as he nodded eagerly, "Absolutely! Thank you all for this wake-up call. I needed that."
Prince, still jumping on the bed, made one final jump and landed in a plop right next to Michael, "Oh, Michael, cuddle me!" he said dramatically.
The room erupted into more laughter as Prince dramatically draped himself over Michael, feigning exhaustion. Michael chuckled and playfully tousled Prince's hair, grateful for the lighthearted moment amidst the building nerves for the day ahead.
