Tatiana's POV

Maybe its because I haven't eaten in two days from being nervous from the show. Hell maybe it's because this hair dye had effected my vision.

I just know I cant believe that I am seeing Michael with Rachel. It's ridiculous. Impossible. He wouldn't stoop this low...........would he?

"Tatiana?" Paul says making me snap back to earth. I look up, blinking a couple of times as if I woke up from a dream.

"Are you alright?" Luther says squeezing my hand. I smile (probably more than necessary).

"Oh, I'm fantastic! Great! Perfect!" I say trying to cheese my way through this moment where I just want to go over there and put my Loubotins so far up Michael's --

"Hey Tatiana!" someone says interrupting my thoughts. I look up and see Quincy embracing me for a hug.

Michael's POV

"Hey Tatiana!" someone says. I almost jump hearing her name. Where is she?!?! I do a quick glance around the room and feel my heart stop. There is Tatiana hugging Quincy. I find myself staring in her direction, then I find myself noticing everyman staring at Tatiana.

I see Tatiana smile and laugh, and take Paul's hand. Paul looks down at Tatiana and smiles at her proudly and kiss her forehead. I find myself wanting to go over there and just hit Paul and every guy in the room who is staring at her so hard. She is my girl........or was my girl. Suddenly as if she heard my thoughts she looks up laughing at she makes eye contact with me, her smile fading. She then looks away as if she never saw me.

"Michael!" reporters and other singers yells flashing their camera's everywhere, blocking my view. I politely push past them with Rachel, and see Tatiana has disappeared....

"Mr. Jackson, your seats are right this way..." an escort says. As we follow him I gently put my hand on Rachel's waist making her blush. We walk in the theater and I see Paul sitting down with Quincy in the next section. I look closer and I can't find Tatiana anywhere....

"Michael?" Rachel says. I look at her and realize she is already sitting down. 

"Aren't you going to sit?" she asks.

"Oh, uhm yeah!" I say embarrassed quickly sitting next to her. As I sit down, I do a quick scan around the room as Rachel talks about something...where is Tatiana?

Tatiana's POV

The performers had to show up early for their dressing rooms and such, to get ready. But those modeling skills have proven to come in handy since all I really needed to do was do a quick change, and apply lipstick.

So I waited in my room instead of waiting in the main room, where everyone else was. I needed time for myself, time to think of how I was going to approach him. I get up and look at myself in the mirror.

*Flashback*

"Michael! Stop!!" I laugh on the floor as he is ontop of me tickling me.

"Nope, not until you say I won!" he laughs referring to a race on Neverland's estate.

"No!!!" I laugh harder knocking him on the ground rolling on top of him giggling. We both laugh and stop staring into each other's eyes. He gently brushes a lock of hair behind my ear, before he leans in to kiss me.

"Promise me something....." he whispers. I look down at him and he smiles.

"Whatever happens, whatever we go through....it will always be like this." he whispers. I smile and gently kiss him on the lips.

"I promise..." I whisper.

Who said promises where even meant to keep?

*End of Flashback*

"Tatiana?" someone says knocking on the door. I shake my head quickly.

"Oh come in...." I call. The door opens and Justin walks in.

"Damn." he says looking at me up and down. "You look....man what are you trying to do to all the guys in there?!" he says making me laugh.

 "Your such a ham.." I laugh. He giggles.

"We are on in 10 minutes...." someone yells in the hallway. Justin and I look at each other and give a nervous laugh.

"You ready for this?" I ask.

"Girl, the way you had us practicing....I could do this in my sleep." Justin says laughing.

 "5 minutes!" we hear in the hallway. One of the stage managers walks in my dressing room.

"Are you guys ready?" he asks. We both nod and walk out the room. As soon as I walk out with Justin, I notice everybody is watching me. I feel myself blush deeply.

"You know Michael is performing later right?" Justin whispers interrupting my thoughts.

"R-really?" I say hoarsely, and quickly clearing my throat. Isn't this night just getting better by the second?

Michael's POV

"Thank you..." Madonna says one last time holding her Grammy while the crowd roars. As she is escorted off the stage, the room goes dark.

"I'm your baby tonight......." a powerful voice sings in acapella. I almost jump. Tatiana?

Then the lights go on, and everyone goes crazy. There in the middle of the stage is Tatiana alone. Her wavy hair is flowing and she is looking.....well fierce. Like she is warrior. She is wearing a black netted catsuit, which is see-through showing a black bra, and has glittering stones on her shoulders. She has tall black boots on, and a huge black diamond belt. Her hands are on her hips and everyone is screaming like crazy. She then gives this smile, like she's saying watch me now.

"From the moment I saw you....." she starts to sing.
I went outta my mind
Though I never believed in, love at first sight
But you got a magic
That I just can't explain
Well you got a, you got a way that you make me feel
I can do, I can do anything for you baby
I'll be down for you baby
Lay all my cards out tonight
Just call on me baby..." I feel a camera point at my face.

"Baby  decide........" her voice leaving a powerful echo in the room, the music stopping as she pauses. Everybody screams.

"We are going to do this my way...." she says looking at the audience giving a coy smile. Then suddenly all of these robotic men dressed as soldiers start marching on stage. They stop in position behind Tatiana.

"Give me a beat!" she yells. Suddenly as the music continues Tatiana and these soldiers start breaking out in this amazing choreographed dance.

"With music by our sides......" she sings. And everybody goes wild. I feel myself shift in my seat. Tatiana looked..........I bite my lip. She sounded alright I guess...

"People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life?
We are a part of the rhythm nation....." she sings . Then this beat boxing starts up. Buh-buh-buh-da-da-da-da-uh. And Justin Timberlake walks out with everyone screaming.

"Don't be so quick to walk away
Dance with me
I wanna rock your body...." he sings looking at Tatiana, who has her arms crossed as he starts to approach her. Then Tatiana does her iconic walk; making everyone holler. The whole she struts, swaying her hips her hair bouncing. And then Tatiana turns around as he walks closer to her.

"Got time, but I don't mind
Just wanna rock you girl
I'll have whatever you have
Come on, just give it a whirl
See I've been watching you..." 

She beckons him to come closer, and she sings back to him "Talk to me boy...." she moving her body on Justin's a little. Justin...his face like he liked it. I feel my jaw tighten a bit, trying to hid my anger since I hand 2 camera's on me.  

He sings back to her and Tatiana breaks out in this dance.....I never even knew she could move like that. Everyone gets up and starts to scream. I get up just so...I wouldn't look like the bad guy, and politely clap. They finish and everyone is cheering and on their feet. Tatiana smiles and bows.

"Thank you!" she says out of breathe. Justin gives her a kiss on the cheek, and gives the audience a wave as they continue to cheer. I notice her glance at me and she breaks her glance away from me. She knows she's guilty of everything she did. And this performance doesn't change it.

"Mr. Jackson?" someone whispers. I look over and one of the stage producers gives me a nod letting me know it's time, to get ready backstage.

Tatiana's POV

"You were incredible!!" Justin says giving me a quick hug backstage. I smile.

"Thank you..." I say breathlessly. We laugh and walk around the corner with everyone congratulating us, and everyone running around.

"Tatiana!" someone says behind me. I turn around and see Paul. He comes up to me, picking me up and spinning me around.

"You were fantastic!!" he says. I laugh, and smile. I wonder what Michael thought......maybe he'll try to talk tonight, and we can work everything out.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it--" I say then I hear voices around the corner.

"She was great...wasn't she Michael?" Quincy says.

"She looked like a slut. She was off on some parts of her singing and she was a waste of 20 minutes." Michael snaps. I pause and look at Paul angrily.

"We all know she used me anyway to try to get the top." he laughs. I walk around the corner and Michael's back is turned. Quincy and some other people notice me and he nervously clears his throat. Michael turns around and looks dead at me.

Paul's POV

"I'm a slut?!" she spats. I try to gently grab her arm and she shrugs me off.

"Come on, Tatiana..." I say quietly.

"I'm not finished." she hisses. "If you want honesty Michael, you were a waste for 11 months." she snaps. Making everyone's mouth drop. No one has ever dared to talk back to Michael. Michael's eyes go dark with anger.

"And don't you ever dare, to critic my performances; who died and made you Quincy Jones?" she snaps walking past him. She pauses and turns around giving him a dirty look.

"And last time I remember you liked having me on top? Didn't you Michael?" she snaps slamming the door shut to her dressing room. Everyone looks at Michael for a reaction, but his face is blank with no emotion. I look at him and shake my head walking past him after Tatiana.

Well then......that reunion went well.

I would also like to extend my deepest apologies for not updating early. I've been busy with school, and a relative just passed away. I'll try to update part 3 soon.
