[MJ's Queen of Pop]

Chapter 2: WE MEET AGAIN

Malaya had been busy working to the bone for the WWF making sure that everything was being run perfectly. Her mind was still very much up in the clouds. She couldn't stop thinking about Michael and talking to him at the Music Benefit that was just a few days before hand. Now it was Monday night and there was a live show in Los Angeles, California and she had to prepare herself to see Michael again. She was pacing back and forth in her office in the arena that they had given to her every time for the past two years as they booked the same arena in Los Angeles.

There was a knock on the door.

“Who is it?” She asked running her hands through her hair.

“It is me Steph.”

“Come on in Stephie.”

Stephanie came into the room. “Laya are you alright?”

“Huh? Yeah of course I am fine.”

“You don't seem like yourself.”

“Oh I am fine Stephie.”

“You seem so out of it.”

“Oh I am fine Stephanie don't push it.”

“Daddy seems to be have over working you.”

“He is.” Malaya said, taking a seat.

“Wow... you look tired. Are you happy that Mr. Jackson is coming?” She asked sitting on Malaya's desk.

“I suppose you could say that Stephie.” she said blushing.

“You are blushing. Do you have a crush on the King of Pop?”

“Me having a crush on the King of Pop is preposterous.”

“You lie.”

“No, I am just stating a fact.”

“You like him. If you didn't why would you be meeting up with him outside?” Stephanie said prodding into her sister's love life.

“The reason why I am meeting up with him is because he will surely get lost in this arena. We have things every where. You know that.”

Stephanie smiled. “You just don't want to tell me the real reason behind you meeting up with Mr. Jackson. You are afraid that I would tell daddy aren't you?”

“It isn't that Stephie. I don't know him that well.”
“You like him?”
Malaya let out a sigh. “I suppose I do like him.”

“Hey Laya... you have a message from a Michael58.”
Malaya's eyes shot to the computer and saw that Michael was online.

“Can I read what you guys are talking about please?”

“I guess. Just keep your mouth shut.” She said typing.

Michael58: Hello Malaya.
Princess70: Hello Michael.
Michael58: What have you been up to?
Princess70: Working.
Michael58: Working for daddy Vince?
Princess70: Lol very funny, but yes.
Michael58: Just wanted to get a smile on your face Malaya.

Malaya smiled.

“This Michael guy seems smitten with you.” said Stephanie.

“Stephie do you know who Michael58 is?”

Stephanie shook her head. “No. I don't.”

Michael58: Malaya are you still there?

“He is Michael Jackson.”

“You mean The Michael Jackson is talking to you on your computer through IM?”

Malaya nodded her head. “Yes. I met him through here.”

“Oh wow. Hey you better answer him.”

Malaya chuckled and typed.

Princess70: I am still here. Sorry about not getting back to you quickly like I have before.
Michael58: That is alright.
Princess70: Had to talk to my sister Stephie. She is sitting right beside me gaping.
Michael58: Lol why is she gaping?
Princess70: She just found out that you are The Michael Jackson the King of Pop.

Michael chuckled. “That girl.” He thought as he typed out his next message.

Michael58: When did you want me to meet you at the arena?
Princess70: I am already here. I am taking care of some last minute business. Which is quite a lot. I want to make sure that this show takes off with out a hitch.
Michael58: Would you want me to come there and help you out?
Princess70: Michael you really don't have to.
Michael58: Please let me help. It is the least I can do since I am making a live appearance on the show tonight. Please let me help you. I want to make sure that this show also goes on with out a hitch.

Michael ran a hand through his curly black hair as he waited for her reply. A few moments had passed and she didn't reply back to him. “Maybe she is thinking. Or maybe she doesn't want my help.” He thought. He quickly typed up another message.

Michael58: I don't have to come if you don't want me to.
Princess70: I would love you to come on by.

888888888888

Malaya looked at Stephanie in shock. “I can't believe you sent that.”

Stephanie smiled. “You like him and don't say you don't. Come on Malaya you like him. You should just let him come to help.”

Michael58: I will be there shortly. I have to get ready. I will tell you when I am on my way there.

Malaya looked at the computer in even more shock. Michael Jackson was coming to the arena early to help her? She couldn't believe it. She quickly typed a message.

Princess70: What are you going to be wearing Michael?
Michael58: I will be wearing a white shirt and black slacks with a black glove and my fedora.

Malaya smiled. “Sounds like what he would normally do.”

“Malaya I am going to go alright. You have fun talking to Michael tonight. Oh and by the way I have an outfit in my office that you should wear tonight. So come with me.”

Malaya quickly wrote a message down.

Princess70: I have to go for a moment Michael. Stephanie wants me to go to her office.
Michael58: Alright.

Malaya got up and followed her sister.

88888888888

Michael smiled. “I wonder what she is going to be wearing tonight. I will find out soon enough. Hopefully she doesn't really mind me helping her out. I would like to get to know her a lot better then what I know of her now.” He thought as he slowly got dressed in his outfit. He just hoped that things with Malaya would go well. He whistled as he put the finishing touchs on his out fit. He hoped that they would talk awhile before the show as they worked together. Maybe just maybe something more would come from this meeting of the eldest McMahon daughter.

8888888888888

Malaya went into her sister's office. “Ok where is this outfit at? Please don't let it be an outfit that is too skanky.”

Stephanie nodded her head. “Just give me a sec.” She said walking over to her closet. “I was thinking maybe since you liked Michael a while ago I thought it would be a good idea if we spiced up your outfit just a tad.”

“What is wrong with what I wear?” Malaya asked, kind of insulted by Stephanie.

“I don't mean to insult, but don't you see how much you are turning into mom?”

Malaya sighed. “But this is what I am use to wearing.”

“I know, but it is time to give it that singer style.”

Malaya's eyes went wide. “Singer style?”

“Yeah I guess you didn't know that I knew that you liked to become a singer before dad tore down your dreams of becoming a singing idol. Dad was always kind of an a**.” Stephanie said, with a shrug.

“You are eleven years old you shouldn't be cursing Stephie.”

“Well, it is true.”

Malaya let out a sigh. “I guess you are right.”

“Beside I am sure Michael would love to see you in something different then wearing a business suit like mom.”

Malaya nodded her head. “Ok. What color is it?”

“Well the top is red. I am sure daddy won't like it though.”

“Why would you say that?”

“Remember what the divas wear sis?”

“Yeah....”

“Well, lets just say it is on the order of that.”

“What?!”

“Don't yell at me. Geez. I am trying to help.” She said pulling out the red top. She also pulled out a pair of black pants that had buckles on it. She also pulled a short croped jacket that matched the pants. She walked over to her sister. “Here.”

“Are you sure Stephie?”

Stephanie nodded her head. “Yeah, besides I am sure that it will look good on you.”

Malaya smiled. “Thanks Stephie.”

“Well try it on sis. I want to see what you look like before Michael gets here.”

Malaya smiled and went to the bathroom in sister's office and changed her clothes. She came back out and looked rather embarassed. “I can't believe that you had one of these shirts.”

Stephanie smiled at her older sister. “I am sure Michael will love it. It will be a different you tonight. I thought it was time for a change and that is a good thing isn't it? I thought you would be a rock star by the time that you were 21 and you are only 17 now. Four years can change.”

Malaya smiled. “I know.”

“Now get back to your office and see if Michael is on his way.”

Malaya hugged Stephanie. “Thank you Stephie.”

“You are welcome. Go.”

Malaya walked back to her office.

Michael got back in front of his computer and typed up a message.

Michael58: You there?

Michael leaned back in his chair and waited for the young McMahon girl to answer him.

Princess70: Yeah I am here. I just got back from my sister's office.
Michael58: How did that go?
Princess70: It went pretty good actually.
Michael58: That is good to hear. I wanted to let you know that I am getting ready to leave now to meet you there. Where will we meet at?
Princess70: Outside of the main lobby of the arena. Make sure that no one sees you alright. My father will be rather upset if he sees you here early. He would make a big deal out of it and ask me questions of why I didn't tell him that you were coming this early.
Michael58: Don't worry about it alright Malaya. I will tell him that I told you not to tell him.
Princess70: Alright.
Michael58: I will be there shortly.
Princess70: I can't wait.
Michael58: Bye.
Princess70: Byes.

Michael58 logged off.
