When Breanna got home, she was not surprised to see that Ayanna and Jason were kissing passionately on the couch. Michael must be psychic., she thought and cleared her throat. Ayanna blushed and stared at her sister.
"Well, it looks like you two are back together.", Breanna said.
"Yep,and before you even ask the wedding is back on.", said Ayanna.
"That's great. I'm so happy for you guys."
Ayanna hugged her sister. "Thanks, Bre.", she said and smiled.
"For what? What did I do?", asked Breanna.
"You talked some sense into me and made me realize that I really do love Jason. I can't picture my life without him in it."
"`I'm glad that I could help.",Breanna said, walking towards the stairs.
"Breanna?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for convincing my baby to take me back.", said Jason.
"You are welcome. Just don't mess up again."
"Bre, we are going to the cater's tomorrow to pick out the wedding cake.", Ayanna said.
"I thought that you guys already did that."
"We were going to do that, but oh you already know what happened. Anyway, we are getting married on Saturday, so you better bring your mystery guy to the rehearsal dinner tomorrow night."
Breanna stared at her in shock. How did she know about Michael?, she thought.
"Before you even ask, I know already know that you have a boyfriend, so bring him to dinner tomorrow and don't be late."
Breanna shook her head and walked upstairs to call Michael. When he answered the phone, she let him know that the wedding was back on again.
"See? I told you that you didn't have anything to worry about.", he said and she could hear the smile in his voice.
"You must have magical powers or something.", she teased, sitting on her bed.
He laughed. "So do you have any plans tomorrow?", he asked.
"Why? Are you asking me on a date?"
"Maybe. If I was, would you say yes?"
"Umm...I'll have to let you know after I get back from the cater's."
"Don't keep me waiting too long."
"Michael?"
"Yes?"
"Will you be my date for the rehearsal dinner tomorrow night?"
"I thought that you would never ask. Yes, I would love to be your date."
"Okay, see you tomorrow. Bye."
"Wait, where is the rehearsal dinner going to be?"
She told him the name of the church and gave him directions on how to find it.
"Oh, I know how to find it now."
"Great! Bye."
"Bye."
She hung up the phone and laid on the bed. She closed her eyes and thought about him. She sighed, turned over on her side, and went to sleep.
The next day she joined Ayanna and Jason as they drove to Davids Bridal and Contemporary Catering. It was a nightmare for Breanna because they could not agree on anything. Jason said that Ayanna was being unreasonable and she retorted that he was cheap.
"Whoa, time out! You guys are supposed to be getting married in a few days. How can you do that if you are always ready rip each other's head off?", Breanna said.
"Well, he's cheap.", said Ayanna.
"You are a brat.", Jason retorted.
"Oh, I got your brat right here!"
"Stop it! Look, why we take a break because y'all are giving me a headache.", said Breanna.
"No! I want to get this done today!", cried Ayanna.
"Fine, stop fighting with Jason."
"Yeah.",Jason said.
"Jason, cut it out."
"May I help you?", asked a saleswoman.
"Hi, we are here to plan the menu for our wedding.", said Ayanna.
"Follow me please."
For the next hour, she showed them samples of menus for the wedding. Finally, the couple agreed on something and they picked the menu for the wedding. Jason paid for the food to be delivered to the church on Saturday and they left the shop.
Before they went to their appointment with the pastor, they stopped at McDonalds for lunch. Then they dropped Breanna off at home and drove to the church.
Later that night, there was pandamonuim at the Davis home as Ayanna, Breanna, and their mother rushed around to get ready for the rehearsal dinner. After they had got dressed, they drove to the church.
When they arrived at the church, Ayanna ran inside, leaving Mrs. Davis and Breanna behind.
"Bre, I hope that you have a date for the wedding.", Mrs. Davis said.
Before Breanna could respond, she watched a long black limo as it drove into the parking lot.
"Don't worry about me, Mom., she said, smiling. My date just got here. See you inside."
She walked over to greet Michael.
"Hey,", she said, kissing him on the cheek.
"Hi, I hope that I'm not overdressed.", he said softly.
"No, you look great."
"Thanks, you look beautiful like you always do.", he said.
She blushed and grabbed his arm. They walked into the reception haal and everybody turned to stare at them.
"Oh my god! My sister is with Michael Jackson!", Ayanna cried.
"You must be hallucinating, Ayanna because there is no way that Michael Jackson is here right now.",said Mrs. Davis.
"Oh, yeah? Who is that?", Ayanna said,pointing at Michael.
Mrs. Davis turned and looked in the direction that her daughter was pointing and gasped. She could not believe what she was seeing. She rubbed, her eyes, thinking that she was dreaming. But it was not a dream and he was really there. She studied him. He was wearing a red shirt that had a picture of Popeye on the pocket, black pants, and black Nikeys. His hair was pulled back into a ponytail and he was wearing a pair of black aviators.
"Mom, Ayanna, Jason, meet my boyfriend, Michael Jackson". , Breanna announced proudly.
"Hi.",Michael said softly, holding out his hand. You must be Ayanna. I have heard so much about you." He turned to their mother, who was just as shocked as Ayanna was. "Its nice to meet you too, Mrs. Davis.,", he said, taking her hand and kissing it.
Mrs.Davis's eyes rolled into the back of her head and she fainted.
"Mom!", Ayanna and Breanna cried.
"Take Sister Davis into the back.", said the pastor.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean for that to happen.",Michael said.
The rest of the guests stared at him. They still could not believe that he was there.
It took awhile, but the rehearsal dinner continued. Breanna and Michael talked quietly among themselves and flirted with each other. He is definitely playing his part in our plan. she thought. When the wedding is over, I'm going to ask to her to be my girl., he thought.
Jason stood up and raised his glass. "Ayanna and I just want to thank everybody for coming tonight, he said. He looked at Michael and added,"I'm glad that you could come tonight and I hope that you will come to the wedding."
"Thank you and I will be there."
Everybody except Ayanna clinked their glasses together and drank the champagne. The guests chattered excitedly among themselves as they ate their dinner.
After dinner, they walked into the sancturary to practice for the wedding. As they practiced, Breanna clutched Michael's arm tightly as he escorted her into the sancturary.
The pastor explained to everybody about how the wedding ceremony was going to go.
When rehearsal was over and Michael had happily signed autographs for all of the guests, he took Breanna home.
"You just don't know how grateful I am for everything that you did for me tonight.", she said as he walked her to the door.
"It was my pleasure. I hope that your mom will be okay.", he said, beaming.
She licked her lips nervously and stared into his beautiful chocolate eyes.
"I guess that I'd better go. Good night, Breanna."
"Michael, wait."
"Yes?"
"I forgot to tell you something."
"What?"
"This.", she whispered and kissed him, taking him completely by surprise.
Suddenly thunder rumbled and lighting danced across the sky. The wind began to blow a gentle breeze and rain fell gently around them. But they did not pay attention as they kissed and kissed again.

Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse
To inspire to delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
His first goal in life must have been to own a candy store because he loved to play storekeeper. After Joe began giving him and his brothers a weekly allowance, he would spend every cent of it on candy and gum. He’d come home with an armful of it, take a board and two bricks and place them in the doorway to the boys’ bedroom, place a cloth over the board, lay the candy on top of it, and sell it to his brothers and sisters and friends for the same price he’d paid for it.
Michael was also a serious candy-eater and gum-chewer. Before he opened his “store,” he’d save his pennies so that he could purchase bubble gum at the concession stand at the Little League ball park behind our house. One night, however, he couldn’t find his penny for gum and he was so upset he started crying. “Mother, do you know what happened to my penny?” he asked. I knew the answer when I saw Marlon @Marlon_Jackson happily chewing away on a wad of bubble gum nearby.
