RACHAEL: I'm trying to make sure we have everything for the cookout tomorrow. Let's see... Beef, check. Chicken, check. Pork, check. Soda, chips, dip... (writes more down) Burger buns... Do we need pickles or anything?

MICHAEL: No, we've got everything we need. (takes the list from her and puts it on the table) You need a break. Come on. (takes her hand)

RACHAEL: Ok, just let me put Prince to bed.

MICHAEL: No, take him with you. There's something I've been meaning to show you. (brings them outside)

82: EXT. NEVERLAND RANCH (FERRIS WHEEL) NIGHT

Michael has a little surprise for Rachael.

MICHAEL: (covering her eyes)

RACHAEL: Michael! I've got a baby in my arms, where are you taking me?

MICHAEL: (pulls his hands away) Ta-da!

RACHAEL: (to herself) "Once Michael pulled his hands away, I saw a seat from the ferris wheel coming down. As it got closer to the ground, I could see it had a baby seat inserted in the middle with safety straps." Oh my gosh! That is the cutest thing I've ever seen!

MICHAEL: Come on, let's go ride it! (they all get on and he straps Prince in as they begin to go up) Weeeeeee!

RACHAEL: (laughs)

MICHAEL: Oh, I invited James and his cousin Wade over to the cookout tomorrow, is that okay?

RACHAEL: Sure, I don't mind.

MICHAEL: Good.

RACHAEL: They'll love it, any kid would wanna come here.

MICHAEL: I guess you're right!

MICHAEL: (running away from Janet who's chasing him with a water gun) Ahhh! Janet, leave me alone!

JANET: Uh-uh! Get back here Mikey!

MICHAEL: We're on the same team!

LATOYA: (laughs) Mikey sure is a joker, isn't he?

RACHAEL: Yes he is! It's one of the many reasons I love him.

LATOYA: Awww! He loves you just as much!

RACHAEL: (chuckles) I know! Ok everybody, lunch is ready! Come on and make yourself a plate.

JERMAINE: Need some help Rach?

RACHAEL: Sure, thanks Jermaine. (hands him some plates)

PRINCE: (struts over) Well, well, well, look at you in your little black top and matching black and white shorts!

RACHAEL: (turns bright red) Um, hey... Happy fourth of July.

PRINCE: You too. Here. (hands her a plate)

RACHAEL: What is it?

PRINCE: My world famous purple sweet potato pie.

RACHAEL: Ooh! I bet it's delicious! Are you staying for the barbeque?
