Shayne's POV

So, I've been living here at Neverland for a week now and its been going pretty good The only thing is that Michael has been acting kinda weird Julie insists that its because he likes me but doesnt want to go there with me Why.? She refused to tell me

I couldn't sleep so I tip toed downstairs and went into the kitchen I went to the fridge and got out the cookie dough ice cream I grabbed a spoon and sat down at the table While I was eating, I heard a noise

Shayne: Julie.?

(The figure walked into the kitchen and I saw that it was just Michael.)

Shayne: Oh hi Michael

Michael: Hey Shayne What are you still doing up.?

Shayne: Couldn't sleep

Michael: Me either

(He walked over to the fridge and pulled out the milk. He opened a cabinet and pulled down some oreos. He poured himself a glass and sat down across from me.)

Michael: I keep having these weird dreams

Shayne: You wanna talk about it.?

Michael:.....I don't know I don't wanna bother you with my issues

Shayne: Its no bother.! And besides, Im a pretty good therapist, if I do say so myself

(We both giggled at that. After we calmed down, he took a deep breath.)

Michael: Ok well, in the dream, Im on the tour and I pop up on stage but when I go to sing, nothing comes out......The fans start booing me and they start burning their pictures of me and copies of the album It just......

(He didn't finish his sentence. He just put his elbows on the table and put his head in his hands.)

Shayne: Well, when was the last time you went on tour.?

Michael: 1984 with my brothers

Shayne: Did they love you.?

Michael: Yeah We got standing ovations every time

Shayne: I think that your nervous because this is the first tour your going on without your brothers, right.?

Michael: Yeah I guess

Shayne: Ok Tell me this......Do you love performing.?

Michael:(Lifts his head) Of course.! Its my life.!

Shayne: Then, there's nothing to worry about.! Your talent already speaks volumes.! I think you'll be just fine.!

Michael: You think so.? (I nodded) Thanks Shayne

Shayne: No problem

(Michael stood up and grabbed the cookies. He stuck his hand out to me.)

Michael: Come with me

Shayne: Where.?

Michael: A surprise

Shayne: Can I bring my ice cream.?

Michael:(Smiles) Yes Now, come on

(I grabbed my ice cream and grabbed his hand. He pulled me up and I walked behind him as he lead me to a part of the house that I've never seen. He finally stopped in front of a door.

When he opened the door and pulled me in, I gasped. The room had black and white walls, a piano, and an area to record and a sound board. There was also an area to dance in.)
