(A/N: Hi! Firstly I wanna apologize for the fact that this chapter is really long. It's mostly singing with some dialog in between. I wouldn't blame you if you skipped it. Anyway, carry on!)

40: INT. NEVERLAND RANCH (LIVING ROOM) DAY FADE IN:

The next day. January 1st, 2001.

RACHAEL: (phone rings) (answers it) Hello?

PRINCE: (on the phone) Rach, it's me. Listen, you know how we talked about reinventing your image?

RACHAEL: Yeah.

PRINCE: (on the phone) Well, I'm getting ready to record some stuff for my next album and I got the idea to do a more adult contemporary sound for your next album. Let's do something totally different.

RACHAEL: I really like the sound of that.

PRINCE: (on the phone) You wanna come over and we can both record some stuff back to back?

RACHAEL: Sure! I'll see you in a bit. (hangs up) (calls out to Michael) Hey honey, I'm going to Paisley, you wanna come?

MICHAEL: No thanks sweetheart. The kids and I are gonna watch a movie.

RACHAEL: Ok. Do you mind if I take Blanket?

MICHAEL: Not at all. He's been a little fussy today, I think he misses you. (comes in and hands him to her)

RACHAEL: Awww! (kisses his forehead) Well, I'll be back later tonight. I love you. (kisses him and leaves)

41: INT. PAISLEY PARK (STUDIO) DAY DISSOLVE TO:

Rachael and Prince record tracks for their new albums.

RACHAEL: (comes in) Hi!

PRINCE: Hey Rach. (kisses her cheek) You brought the kid?

RACHAEL: Yeah, do you mind?

PRINCE: No, not at all.

RACHAEL: So, what did you have in mind?

PRINCE: Well, I thought we could do one track each back to back. I do one, you do one and we just keep it going.

RACHAEL: Ok. What's your new album called anyway?

PRINCE: I'm calling it "The Rainbow Children."

RACHAEL: (tries hard not to laugh)

PRINCE: (rolls his eyes) Shut up Jackson. I'll go first. (goes into the booth)

RACHAEL: Ok, I'm just gonna feed him. (sits down)

PRINCE: Don't worry, I won't look at you.

RACHAEL: (rolls her eyes) Thank you. (nurses him)

PRINCE: (starts singing)
With the accurate understanding of God and His law
They went about the work of building
A new nation
The rainbow children
Wise one who understood the law
That was handed down from God long ago
Reflected the true meaning to his woman every day
And she surrendered her discerning of it into his care and keeping
For she trusted he would lead in the right way
Her children in subjection to her, she in subjection to the wise one
The wise one in subjection to the Almighty God
Forever is in subjection to God
Just like the sun, the rainbow children rise
Flying upon the wings of the new translation See them fly, fly, covenant will be kept this time
Just like the sun, the rainbow children rise
Rainbow children it's time to rise
Rainbow children it's time to rise
As prophesied, the wise one and his woman
Were tempted by the resistor
He knowing full well the wise one's love for God
Assimilated the woman first and only
Quite naturally chaos ensued
And shield far verbally
Were banishedFrom the rainbow forever
Just like the sun, the rainbow children rise
Flying upon the wings of the new translation
See them fly, fly, covenant will be kept this time
Just like the sun, the rainbow children rise
Who is your real father?
The everlasting one
The one who came from nothing
And nothing is what everything comes
The one who commands your armor
With the simple phrase 'I am'
Every time that she obeys
She gives birth to the Son of Man, who is this?
Reproduction of a new breed leaders, stand up - organize!
Reproduction of a new breed leaders, stand up - organize!
Understand others before denials
Do you dream it like
A person the people found so
Never changing one piece of it
To feel like one with the flow
The scales within become unbalanced
And thus began the fall
The sin of one within
The count of sin of one and all
Rainbow children it's time to rise
Rainbow children it's time to rise
Wise one who understood the law
That was handed down from God long ago
Held fast in his belief
That the Lord would bring him another one
Who loved him so...
