'Michael,can you tell me if Africa is a continent',Janet pleaded to her older brother,who seemed everything but interested.
'Africa is not a country. It's a continent of 54 countries that are diverse culturally and geographically',Michael murmured back.
'How did you find that out Mike',Janet beams,her legs swinging back and forth as she sat in her mother's armchair.
'When you read you learn things that some people don't care to teach, it's good to know general knowledge Jan,it can help you alot in the long haul',Michael smiles,leaning further back into the red,plush couch.

'Is it for your homework',He questions,pushing his hands against the rich fabric pulling him upwards.With that he began to walk around the grand living room,two fingers cupping his chin,deep in thought.
'Yes,Miss Cordwell gives us so much homework and most of it is just silly general knowledge that we will never need',Janet pouts,crossing her arms to show her annoyance.
'Well,I used to have Miss Cordwell, and I personally think she is one of the best teachers I have ever had... always wanting me to do better',Michael chirps to his young sister.
'But I don't get how we have to know all this general knowledge,when Miss Cordwell is an English teacher, that's like the swimming instructor teaching us about plants and wildlife instead of how to actually swim',Janet snaps,staring daggers at her homework.

Michael rolls his eyes and continues to pace the room,for whatever reason he did not know but he just felt the need to. Like it was calling to him that this was the best thing for him to do.
He could feel Janet's eyes curiously watching him as he paced the room,he seemed to go faster everytime he passed his sister's curious and amused stares.

'Michael,calm down,you look like you're waiting for a call that says you won the lottery',Latoya laughs as she strides into the room.Her white jumpsuit with silver strips shimmered as she walked past the window,glowing from the sun.Her heels clicked loudly against the floor,which all the siblings found surprisingly satisfying.
'I'm sorry guys I'm just worked up but I don't know why,it's like my body knows but it's not sending a signal to my brain about what it is I should be worked up about',Michael rambles,watching his sisters helplessly.

Latoya rolls her eyes and shakes her head at her brother's behavior.'Oh guys,guess what day it is', Latoya beams,as she jogs to the calendar lingering on the wall.
Michael continues to confusedly stare at his older sister as Janet lets out a yelp of surprise as she sees what her sister is pointing at.
'She's coming here t-today',Janet squeals,her excitement so apparent her feet couldn't even stay in place.
'What who's coming today',Michael sighs,unable to block out the high pitched chirps and screams coming from his sisters.
'DIANA',they both screamed at the top of their lungs making Michael lose breath in his. Suddenly,everything came back to him in that moment.

Diana had no tours booked. Which meant she was stuck at home. But she was so lonesome in her house,with only a couple of maids to keep her company.As much as she tried to spark conversation they would mostly just cook and clean.The news came to Encino and Katherine was so kind and gentle,she just had to ask Diana if she would like to stay with them. A place to keep her stuff and she would never be lonely.
She happily excepted and was expected to show up around noon.

Latoya and Janet watched as Michael slowly began to loose his rag as he finally processed this information. Quickly, sprinting out of the room,whizzing past the family paintings that he spent hours on making ever year with the finest details.Making a sharp turn left,he
raced down what was left of the hallway;bringing him to his chocolate bar shaped and coloured door.Turning the marbel materialised knob,he stepped into his bomb site of a room.It honestly looked like someone had turned everything upside down inside it!But it was Michael's and he liked it that way,as it seemed.

Kicking and treading on most of his clothes as he made his way to his private bathroom. Walls caked in sea animals and ocean affects that really were quite mesmerizing.
'Okay,you may have forgotten that the love of your life is coming to live with you but at least you have the tools to look good when she gets here',Michael smiles but quickly frowns as he looks at the face staring back at him.
'Like she'll ever love me,probably just said she'd sleep with me because she pitied me',Michael sighs,gripping the edges of the sink out of anger and pain.'Why does no one love me',He whispers so low,even a bat wouldn't be able to catch it without really listening.
Michael is taken out of his depressed thoughts when the doorbell rings, sending a chime to echoe around the huge house.
'Diana is here',He sighs,putting his head in his hands.'Why couldn't she of come after I got a face transplant'.

Janet quickly bounds to the door as the noise travels to her ears. Turning the knob excitedly to let the beautiful popstar in.
Diana was wearing a white laced shirt but the sleeves stopped at her elbows which confused Janet slightly. A very curious girl,Janet was;always wanted to know the ins and outs of the world and everything in it.
The black bell-bottoms worked well with the top and her sunglasses and nicely made up hair made the look even more intriguing.

'Hi girls,my Janet how big you've got and Latoya wow you grow more beautiful everytime I see you',Diana smiles,kindly at the girl and women standing before her.
Janet narrows her eyes at Latoya as she makes no signs of taking her eyes away from Diana,it almost seemed like attraction.Janet narrowed her eyes harder as the thought came into her head.The awkward moment ended when Diana began to speak once again.
'Michael,how have you been',Diana chirps as pitter patter a make their way down the stairs revealing Michael.He looked a little down but no one seemed to notice.

'Hey Diana',Michael beams at her in a way no one around could describe.
Let's just say,Michael definitely felt something strong for the woman standing in the doorway.

Well for now at least...
