MJ IMAGINES (World with Applehead) ON GOING

More than friends?

Interview pt.2

"You know, it's still not too late... do you want to go back and enjoy the party? I bet they're waiting for you," you said excitedly.

Michael smiled widely and nodded.
"This quiet time was everything, but hey — a little more fun wouldn't hurt, right?"

So the two of you made your way back to the party... hand in hand. The energy was still buzzing, the music still pulsing. But suddenly—

"Well... well... well... I'd like to think the 'interview' went real smooth," a familiar voice called from behind.

You both turned to see Chris Tucker, once again with a wine glass in hand, grinning like he had front-row tickets to your love story.

"Chris, I swear — don't start," Michael said with a playful glare.

"Hey, from back there? Looked like I was watching a 90's love story unravel in real time." Chris raised his glass. "Y'all need a soundtrack."

All three of you laughed, just as Janet Jackson appeared next to him, arching an eyebrow with a sly smile.

"Say... now who is this fine-looking woman again?" she asked, sipping her drink.

"Hello, Ms. Janet," you said, a bit starstruck, again.

"Hey, Dunk," Michael greeted her casually.

"Now isn't this The Janet Jackson?" Chris added with a mock gasp.

"Chris, I can literally smell the alcohol on your breath," Janet said, giving him a look.

"That's because I am having fun girl!" he grinned, spinning slightly, nearly spilling his drink. Everyone burst out laughing.

You turned back to Janet, still in awe."I'm Y/N. Pleasure to meet you — I'm a huge fan."

"Nice to meet you too. Please, call me Janet," she smiled as you both shook hands.

"So, how are you enjoying the party, Y/N?" Chris asked, pouring another drink and handing it to you with dramatic flair.

"I'm loving it," you replied. "I've been to industry parties before, but nothing like this one. This is on another level."

You gestured to the three of them. "And I mean, I'm literally in the presence of legends."

"Wait, that includes me?" Chris said, feigning surprise and pointing at himself.

"Of course! I've watched all your movies!" you grinned.

"Chris, let Mike talk to her," Janet interjected, smirking knowingly.

"Oh! Yes, yes — please, Mike," Chris said, dramatically stepping back and motioning for Michael to sit closer.

Michael laughed but obliged, sliding in beside you. You caught the subtle scent of his cologne — smooth, clean, and something that made your heart skip just a little too hard. Your eyes met. And for a moment, the noise faded. You could feel it — that unmistakable tension, magnetic and unspoken. And turns out, it wasn't just the two of you who noticed.

"Oop! Are we interrupting the soulmate soft launch over here?" Janet said, sipping her champagne with a devilish smirk.

"Dunk," Michael said flatly, "shut up."

"What? It's not just me who noticed my bro making heart eyes again. Right, Tucker?"

Chris, already halfway through another hors d'oeuvre, chimed in:
