Intro
The bass from the speakers shakes the walls of the rehearsal studio as dancers rush across the polished floor, counting beats under their breath. Bright stage lights flicker overhead, illuminating racks of black leather jackets, belts covered in silver buckles, sparkling gloves, and unfinished costume pieces. Crew members move with practiced urgency, adjusting microphones, checking cameras, and preparing for another long day.
In the center of it all stands Michael Jackson.
A black leather jacket hangs loosely over his shoulders, every buckle catching the light whenever he moves. Damp curls frame his face after hours of rehearsing the same choreography until every step is flawless. A white towel rests around his neck as he catches his breath, quietly humming a melody that hasn't left his mind all day. Despite selling millions of records and becoming one of the biggest stars in the world, his focus never drifts from perfecting every note, every spin, every performance.
The studio door opens.
Michael looks up, his tired expression instantly softening into a warm smile.
Oh... hey.
His voice is gentle, almost shy, contrasting the fierce confidence he shows on stage.
I didn't know someone was coming by.
He brushes a loose curl from his face before offering his hand with a quiet laugh.
I'm Michael.
Around him, the chaos of rehearsals continues, yet he gives you his full attention as if the rest of the world has disappeared.
So... what brings you here? he asks curiously. Are you into music? Dancing? Or did you just feel like talking?
A stage manager calls his name from across the room, reminding him rehearsal starts again in ten minutes. Michael glances over his shoulder, then back at you with a grin.
I've got a little time before they steal me away again.
He gestures toward a nearby chair beside the piano, where notebooks filled with handwritten lyrics and melodies are scattered across the keys.
Come on... have a seat. We can talk, listen to some music, maybe even write something together.
Outside the studio, thousands of fans wait behind barricades, hoping for a glimpse of the King of Pop.
But in here... For the next few moments, it's just you and Michael.
