"Janet.. hi!" i smiled walking up to her and hugging her "hello love, you ready for the show??" she smiled rubbing my back
i pulled out of the hug and grinned widely "i'm so excited— i'd just like to take this moment again to thank you so much for performing with me today, it means so much, you're such a inspiration to me and have been since a little girl!!" i smile at her like a geek, ugh i'm so nervous, even though i've been round her quite a bit since the start of my tour as we've been rehearsing "darling you are so sweet! thank you so much! i know that mike would of loved you!" she smiled at me and rubbed my arm. my heart started pounding "thank you- i.. i hope so" i smiled nervously and turned to harry who was smiling and watching.
"janet, this is my boyfriend Harry Styl—" i began as he walked over to great Janet, but she cut me off "i know, you're harry styles, of course i know you. your music is amazing, you're really talented. i'm Janet Jackson" she shook his outstretched hand
"i'm a big fan, Miss Jackson, it's a honour to meet you" he smiled and bowed slightly. she smiled widely "it's true what they say about you, you are a charmer.. yet so respectful. please honey, call me Janet." she nodded as they let go of each other's hand. he smiled and nodded respectfully.
"i was just coming here to wish you good luck on your own segment of the show before i come on and join you. i know you'll smash it'l she grinned at me nodding slightly. this woman is the epitome of beauty.

"thank you so much Janet, that means a lot to me" i hug her again, she squeezes me, says i'm welcome, then leaves saying goodbye to harry and i "oh," she says stopping in the doorway "you both make a beautiful couple"
"thank you," harry and i smile like complete idiots, she walks out smiling.
i breathed out and turned to
harry with wide eyes "you look like you're gonna cry" harry giggled pulling me in for a hug "i'm just— this is crazy to me. 6 year old me could never imagine meeting JANET JACKSON!!" i exclaim as he rubs my back, a tear slips down my face as he pulls back from the hug, he giggles and dabs it away trying not to smudge my makeup.

"Anna??" sophie walked in my dressing room. "the stage is ready for you." she grinned.
i breathed out and we all headed to the side lines of the stage as i attached the in ear pieces to me and i put my audio box on the back of my outfit. i grabbed head microphone and placed it in my head connecting it up and walked closer to the stage.
"good luck baby" harry grabs my hand, pulls me to him and kisses me softly.

"do i put the knee pads on now??" i turn to Claudimar who was peaking out of the curtains to the crowd to see how many there was

"do i put the knee pads on now??" i turn to Claudimar who was peaking out of the curtains to the crowd to see how many there was.
"yeah you can do, you don't want to hurt your knees during your own dance breaks, especially the one with Janet" he smiled. "yeah true" i replied and grabbed the knee pads from the equipment box and quickly strapped them around my knees.
the music to REACT started and the boy and girl dancers got in two separate lines beside me, but was stood next to each other, i stood behind them and we marched out together, i was hidden my the two rows of dancers in front of me. thousands and thousands of people screamed and cheered for us.
we came to a stop in the middle of the stage and they still couldn't see me.

"you're just wanting me to react.. react... react... react react react" my voice belted through the speakers on the audio making everyone go wild.
i don't think the notice that i'm stood behind two lines of dancers.
i stay behind the dancers but start singing. we all just stay in line, still, not moving, making it look like a picture.

"When I get messed up at the par-ty
I make a scene and get upset
But when I wake up in the morn-ing
You bring me breakfast in bed
And act like there's nothing to forget" i sing in a mixture of a slow rhythm and a fast one towards the end. i smile hearing everyone scream the lyrics back.
"Maybe I should count my blessings
That you're just that type
So call me masochistic
But sometimes I want to fight" the dancers jump away from me, showing me off to the crowd, they go absolutely wild. i place my hand on Claudimar's chest, and my other hand on Jason's chest, two male dancers, while the other males and females was dancing around us.

"Every time I leave you pull me closer" i pull the boys by their shirt closer to me then push them back letting go of them and walking to the front of the stage
"I hang up the phone, you call me back
Why don't you mess me 'round
Like you're supposed to?
You're turning me cruel
'Cause I'm just wanting you to react" i make a stop on the middle of the stage at the front and place my hands in front of the body as the music and bass drops. i envelope one of my hands with the other. i breathed in and wait for the bass to drop. as it drops me and the dancers go into a full routine as everyone goes crazy.

i stop dancing and breathe as i sing the next verse
"If I say jump, you just say, "how high?"
I think you might love me to death—" i chuckle at a fan who's going crazy and nod at her
"The way you do me, boy you're tooooohhhh nice" i do a little falsetto as Claudimar makes his way up to me  and drops to his knees stroking my thighs sexually
"You gas me up, when I wanna be losing my breath ahhh ahhh ahhh" he jumps up and we all start dancing. a alarm rings signalling we are transferring into the next song and thousands of people scream and cheer in excitement. i sing a small mashup of the next two upbeat songs which are Motivation and Let You.
i finished them two songs breathing heavily "helloooo FUSION FESTIVAAAALLLL!!!!" i scream into my head microphone "you look beautiful!" i tell them as they continue to cheer. i point at a few fans and say "i'm loving the glitterrr"
i say and stroke my cheekbones where some girls have their glitter.

"are you all nice and pumped?" i ask them and they all scream making me chuckle as i grab the water bottle that Claudimar is handing to me. i chuckle as i undo the water bottle listening to the crowd scream. i love the actual microphone bar away from my mouth and turn it around so it's facing behind my head so i can drink my water.

i turn to see a microphone stand has already been placed in the middle of the stage and the dancers are now disappearing off stage. i swallow my water and make my way to the microphone stand with the microphone placed in it.
"right guys, so these next to songs are pretty chilled out. if you know the words.. please sing along" i smiled at the crowd and they go wild.
