*Anna*

"ANNA! ANNA! ANNA!" 

I smiled as I heard the crowd calling my name. My dad was right behind me smiling and helping me fix the microphone. "Are you ready babygirl?"

"Yes daddy. This is a dream come true" I said smiling at him. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and he smiled one last time. "Have fun. And remember, I love you so much."

"I love you too daddy." I said before heading out on the stage. The crowd was wild as I began to sing my first song. Man how I loved the stage. People were all here to have a good time and I wanted to make sure that I did my best for them. I loved my fans.

I sang my last song and the crowd gave one final roar before I headed off the stage.  I ran to Lucas and gave him a huge kiss. "You were awesome baby." he said with a big smile. I laughed and I saw NeNe out of the corner of my eye giggling. "Did you see mommy?" I said picking her up. She gave a sweet smile and giggled again. "Hey Anna?"

I turned around and my manager Thomas waved me over. I gave NeNe back to Lucas and walked towards him. "Whats up?"

"Lets talk in the office."

We walked into the office and I nervously took a seat. He sat down and gave a huge sigh.

"Ive been looking at the ticket sales. They were alright with just your dad's name on the tour schedule, but when we added you at the last minute, the ticket sales skyrocketed."

"And?"

"And we think that the only reason why all of these people are coming out is because of you, not your dad."

"Well...I dont know what to say."

"To be honest with you Anna and no disrespect to your family, but your dad is getting old. His music just doesn't attract many people like it used to. The times are changing and artists like you are hip."

"My dad may be getting a little over the hill, but he is a legendary. Everyone loves Michael Jackson regardless of whatever music he puts out to the people."

"Anna, its nice that you are sticking up for your father, but in order to keep the sales up, we need to remove him from the schedule."

"Oh no. You are not removing my dad. No WAY. And have you discussed this with his manager or did you guys just decide you were fully in charge now?

"Look Anna...we are not trying to take charge of anything. We are just trying to look out for your best interest. I mean think about it. He can't even keep up with your routines, let alone appeal to the younger audiences. We have to attract more young people to keep the sales up."

"SALES SALES SALES! Im starting to think that you only care about the money! I hired you for positive guidance, not some rinky dink bullshit idea you got going on. Now again, does my father's manager know about this?"

He sighed. "No. Im afraid not. However, the rest of his management team knows and they agree with me. He's just not cut out for it anymore."

"Cut out for what?! Making music?! Hello! Last time I checked HE was the one that got me into it. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be making money for cold hearted crooks like you."

"I am not a cold hearted crook. And I am not in it for the money or notoriety. But I must warn you, if he continues to tour with you, you may lose your OWN fans. I am pretty sure they aren't going to like you dragging your dad around on every song you perform."

"THAT'S IT! DON'T YOU TELL ME WHO MY FANS ARE AND WHAT THEY WILL LIKE! THEY LOVE ME AND MY DAD NO MATTER WHAT! OW YOU TAKE YOUR STUPID LOOKIN ASS OUT OF MY FACE!" I shouted. He shook his head and walked out of the room.

How could he do that to my dad? And how could his own management team be plotting against him. My dad was so kind and treated them like his own family and they turn around and do this?

I have to tell him before it is too late.
