Orange: the color that bridges the passion, sensuality, and love represented by the color red and the friendship and happiness symbolized by the color yellow.
In other words: This story attempts to bridge the gap between Michael and Diana's platonic and romantic relationship.

These chapters are based on one-word writing prompts. Some will be short while others may be fairly long. All are in chronological order unless stated otherwise (they'll be noted with dates).
Sending out a special shoutout to abmj1234 who convinced me to keep this going even though everyone and their mom has written their own version of what may have happened between Mike and Diana during The Wiz.
Please make sure to go check out her stories, "The Beginning" and "The Last Night". They're wonderful!

Obligatory disclaimer: I don't know Michael Jackson and Diana Ross personally, but I'm pretty sure they fucked. (Don't debate me on this.) This is just one of many theories of mine on how it may have happened.
