Fall Again *Michael Jackson Love Story*

Rehearsal Tension

As expected, rehearsal was extremely awkward.

Natalie caught herself gazing at Michael unintentionally and Michael would respond with a faint smile.

"Natalie!" All of a sudden she heard Michael's voice holler.

Natalie caught herself and looked up at him. (She was on the ground stretching)

"Let's go! We're waiting on you!" Michael waved her over to her position.

And as soon as she situated herself into her spot, the music began.

"Oh no

Oh no

Oh no

You'll never make me stay

So take your weight off of me

I know your every move

So won't you just let me be

I've been here times before

But I was too blind to see

That you seduce every men

This time you won't seduce me

She's saying that's ok

Hey baby do what you please

I have the stuff that you want

I am the thing that you need

She looked me deep in the eyes

She's touchin me so to start

She says there's no turnin back

She trapped me in her heart

Dirty Diana, nah

Dirty Diana, nah

Dirty Diana, no

Dirty Diana

Let me be!

Oh no

Oh no

Oh no

She likes the boys in the bands

She knows when they come to town

Every musicians fan after

The curtain comes down

She waits at backstage doors

For those who have prestige

Who promise

Fortune and fame, a life that's so carefree

She's saying that's ok

Hey baby do what you want

I'll be your night lovin thing

I'll be the freak you can taunt

And I don't care what you say

I want to go too far

I'll be your everything

If you make me a star

Dirty Diana, nah

Dirty Diana, nah

Dirty Diana, no

Dirty Diana . . .

Dirty Diana, nah

Dirty Diana, nah

Dirty Diana, no

Dirty Diana . . .

Diana!

Diana!

Dirty Diana!

Its dia . . .aa . . .aa . . .come on!

She said I have to go home

cause I'm real tired you see

But I hate sleepin alone

Why don't you come with me

I said my babys at home

She's probably worried tonight

I didn't call on the phone to

Say that I'm alright

Diana walked up to me,

She said I'm all yours tonight

At that I ran to the phone

Sayin baby I'm alright

I said but unlock the door,

Because I forgot the key,

She said he's not coming back

Because he's sleeping with me

Dirty Diana, nah

Dirty Diana, nah

Dirty Diana, nah

Dirty Diana, no

Dirty Diana, nah

Dirty Diana, nah

Dirty Diana, nah

Dirty Diana . . .

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!.."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a few cuts of "Dirty Diana" and the working out of "Leave Me Alone" the crew a took a break.

"Natalie." She heard a voice from behind her.

"Michael." She shot back.

"You did really well in practice." He said, smiling.

"Thank you." She smiled back.

"I'm, uh, really excited for later." He blushed.

"Me too." Natalie was so pink now, as she looked to the floor.

"Hey, I'm gonna go grab some water and stuff." He said walking towards the table full of refreshments.

"Alright." She said under her breath, and walked toward Jaime.

"What was that......?" Jaime asked, still looking down at the table of refreshments.

"What was what?"

"That encounter with Michael....." She gave Natalie this devious look.

"Oh that...? Oh. It was, it was just nothing." A hungry Natalie stuttered.

"Sure."

"It was nothinggggg."

"Whatever you say..." Jaime rolled her eyes.

"ALRIGHT CREW! FIVE MORE MINUTES TILL WERE RUNNING THE WHOLE SHOW THROUGH." Yelled the stage manager.

Natalie looked back at Michael, and lost herself. To her surprise, he looked back and gave her a huge smile partnered by a small wink.

She felt her face turning pink.

"ALRIGHT EVERYONE!!! BREAKS OVER!!! FROM THE TOP!!!"

And rehearsals began, yet again.
