Finally, the first day of Dangerous World Tour has begun. Of course, I didn't get the ticket because I was so freakin over-confident that I would pass the dance audition. Meh, it's fine though. MICHAEL AND I ARE CLOSE. BETTER THAN THE AUDITION AND THE TICKET. HAHAHAAA.

Michael and I don't really have contact during those months because he's on tour all the time. He may call me two times a month at late nights. We actually became a little bit closer.

It's been six months since the beginning of the Dangerous Tour.

"Laura!?"

"Yeah, mom?"

"You've got a letter."

"What?"

I run down the stairs and my mom hands me an envelope with a letter inside.

"Where's that from?"

I'm opening it right in front of mom.

"Oh, Frank?"

I laugh.

"What's funny?"

I look at my mom and suddenly remember that I haven't told her about my friendship with Michael.

"Oh boy..."

"What?"

"Wait, let me read the letter first."

It says,

'Dear Laura,
It's me, "FRANK". The paper along with this letter is your pass to the Dangerous Tour in Bucharest. Have a read and call me if you're interested.
Love,
"FRANK"'

"Why's that guy talking about Michael's tour?"

I legit ignore my mom and begin to read the paper.

"Dear Laura,
You're invited to Michael Jackson's Dangerous World Tour in Bucharest. We're giving you a chance to be a part of the concert..."

"WHAT!?"

"WAIT."

"...You're chosen to perform with Michael on his song Smooth Criminal. You'll be given a chance to meet and greet with Michael backstage..."

"WHAT."

"...Contact us if you're going to accept our offer or if you're not."

"Isn't there something hand-written down there?"

Mom points at the end of the sentence.

"Oh yeah, it says, 'or you can just call me'. OH MY LORD."

"Who? Frank? Who's that guy to do all of this for you?"

"Mom, don't be shocked."

"What, why?"

"He's not Frank."

"What do you mean?"

"He's actually Michael Jackson..."

"I don't get it..?"

"He went under disguise to get close with me, comfort me from my cancellation from the audition. He was so sad that I had to go. He wanted me so bad. His production team didn't want me. But he did. MICHAEL JACKSON WANTED ME, MOM."

"Ohhh my LORD, LAURA."

She hugs me and we both chuckle.

"When did you know about that?"

"It's been a long time. I forgot to tell you guys because I was too shocked, no, I AM still shocked."

"I am so proud of you, baby."

She hugs me and oh my Lord, this is so emotional.

At night, praying I won't disturb him, I call him.

"Hello?"

"Oh, hello, Michael?"

"Yes?"

"It's me, Laura."

"Ohhh, I'm waiting for your call. Did you get the letter?"

"Yes, for sure! First of all, I thank you so so SO much for giving me this opportunity."

"Haha, my pleasure. So, are you gonna accept it?"

"Michael, no questions needed. Of course!"

"I'm so happy to hear that, Laura. You have no idea."

"I better practise Smooth Criminal again, huh?"

"Oh, you don't need to do anything. We'll fly you to Bucharest three days before the concert and train you."

"Only three days? Would I even make it?"

"Keep the faith, Laura..."

"Don't let nobody...oh, sorry, go on."

He laughs. Michael's laughter? CUTE.

"Believe in yourself. You can make it, okay? We'll have fun on stage. No worries."

"Oh and the backstage..?"

"For sure. You and I only."

"NO."

"Yes."

"Lord, I'm speechless."

"Hahaha, I'll see you soon, okay? I have to go now."

"Oh, sure. Goodbye and thank you SO much, Michael."

"My pleasure, Laura. I love you, bye."

"I love you more."

We hang up and my parents watching me beside me are literally not blinking at all.

"I told you..."

"I'm so proud of you, sweetie."

They both hug me so tight.

"Guess Lord Buddha is still taking care of me?"

"Lord Buddha always looks after good people, like you."

We all smile and continue watching TV together.

(Author : The Dangerous Tour in Bucharest is the very first concert I've ever watched, so I wanted to make it more memorable hehe)
