There was a girl who just got on a flight from Japan to California. The next week, she was gonna try out for This Is It. She's participated in dance for a long time and her teacher encouraged her to look up short films of different songs to dance along to, specifically Michael Jackson ones. Now, she grew up with his music. Her mother always played Jackson 5 music and Michael's music when she was little and started showing some talent. Her mother signed her up for dance classes when she was 5 and she took lessons from Travis Payne, who was announced as Michael Jackson's choreography helper. She thought about meeting Michael Jackson and wondered what he looked like. Her mother gave her an autographed picture of him when she went to one of his concerts. She's always looked up to Michael Jackson and learned a lot from him. She's a visual learner, like he is. She's around the age of 18. Her name is Becca Yamamoto. She's half Japanese, thanks to her father.
Landing in Los Angeles
She got off the plane and walked around the airport. She was looking for her mother's friend, Katherine. Little did she know that Katherine was Michael Jackson's mother. Her mother was friends with Katherine since they were growing up. She saw a sign that said 'Becca Yamamoto' on it and ran over. "Aunt Katherine?" She asked. She's always considered Katherine to be her aunt, not by blood, though. She moved the sign to reveal herself and smiled. "Why hello there, Becca. I haven't seen you in so long. Last I saw you, you were just a little toddler." She said and gave Becca a hug. She hugged back. They went over to get her bags and headed out to the car. Becca was nervous about auditioning for This Is It, but at the same time, she was excited. She couldn't wait until she got to the black box theater and rehearse what she had been practicing all her life. Once they reached the car, she saw Joseph and stopped in her place. She was afraid of Joseph because of what she had read about him in Moonwalk. Katherine walked up to Becca and helped her. "No need to be afraid of Joseph, sweetie. He won't do anything to you." She reassured her. Becca nodded nervously and Joseph helped her get her stuff into the trunk. She noticed things there in the trunk, like: a sequin glove, tape, flat boxes, and clothes. She was a bit curious to check out the stuff, but Joseph closed the trunk door after putting her stuff in there and looked at her. Then he spoke. "You look like my son. White with a small nose and the attitude and fear." Katherine walked up to Joseph and elbowed him. "Don't scare her, Joseph. Yes, she does look like him, but that's no reason to scare her." Becca bit her lip and Katherine opened the back door for her and she got in, Katherine closing the door. She got in front and so did Joseph. Becca messed around with her fedora in her hands, looking out the window. She's never seen Hollywood before, but she's glad she gets to stay here.
At the Jackson residence
Joseph got through the gate and parked the car and opened the trunk. Becca got out of the car and went to get her stuff. Joseph helped her with one of her bags and got her inside the house, leading her to the room she'd be staying in. "Here's your room, Becca. Make yourself at home." He said and placed her suitcases down by the dresser. The room was big enough for her to practice her dancing. "Joseph?" He turned to her before he left the room. "Sorry about how I acted at the airport. I was just shocked a bit." He nodded at her. "It's alright. My kids get that way sometimes, too. Especially my 2nd youngest son." "If you don't mind me asking...who's that?" "Michael. I'll leave you to getting settled then. Dinner should be done soon." He said and left the room. Becca was in shock. 'Michael is Joseph's son? Wow...I need to really catch up on Moonwalk then!' She thought and got herself settled into her room. Once she was settled, she got out Moonwalk and started reading it from where she left off...which was in the middle of chapter 1. Soon, Katherine came into the room after knocking. "Becca, dinner's ready." She said and Becca looked up from the book. "Alright. Thanks." She said and put her book down on the bed and went to go eat.
After dinner
Becca went back into her room and started changing into her pajamas, which was a Thriller shirt and her black pants. She turned off the main light in her room and kept her nightstand light on. She got under the covers and picked up the book and continued reading, trying to finish chapter 1. Once she finished the chapter, she marked it with her bookmark and placed it on the nightstand next to her and laid down and turned the light off. 'I hope I'm ready for this audition next week...' She thought as she fell asleep.

A judge has ruled that witnesses will NOT be allowed to discuss Michael Jackson's child molestation case during Dr. Conrad Murray's manslaughter trial.
L.A. County Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor said any testimony relating to the molestation case is irrelevant -- and would be distracting and misleading to the jury.
The judge also banned Arnie Klein from testifying -- after prosecutors argued the defense would try to blame the dermatologist for the death ... and take away attention from the man on the hot seat -- Dr. Murray.

The Michael Jackson estate is tired of waiting for Lloyd's of London to pay out on the $17.5 million "This Is it" insurance policy -- so they're going after Lloyd's in court ... demanding they pay up, stat.
Lloyd's of London originally issued the policy to cover potential losses for MJ's 2009 "This Is It" concerts -- but earlier this year, the company asked an L.A. court to declare the policy null and void ... claiming MJ lied about his medical history and drug addiction.
Lloyd's insists the policy "was restricted to losses resulting from accident only" -- pointing out Michael's official cause of death was "homicide."
But the estate is now on the offensive -- filing a cross-complaint, claiming MJ never intended to die, whether by homicide or not, so his death still qualifies as an accident.
But the estate isn't just settling for the original $17.5 million -- they also want punitive damages. FYI, suing for punitive damages often scares the crap out of insurance companies.

Michael Jackson
God looked at his Garden
And found an empty place
Then he looked upon the Earth
And saw your tired face
He put his arms round you
And lifted you to the rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best
Dedicated to Michael Jackson. I'm so sorry Michael,
you came to help, they hurt you
you taught us to love, they accused you of loving
It's all our fault.
I know you are in a better place now I love you very much.
Bye..till we meet again!
We will never forget you, you were a blessing to the world and to us
God looked at his Garden
And found an empty place
Then he looked upon the Earth
And saw your tired face
He put his arms round you
And lifted you to the rest

With the two-year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death approaching -- one helicopter company is giving fans the chance to pay their respects ... by raining flowers down around Neverland ... mid-flight.
The 30-minute Channel Island Helicopter flights are set to take off June 24th and 25th -- exactly two years since Jackson died after a Propofol-induced cardiac arrest.
During the flight, passengers are encouraged to honor the late entertainer by chucking his favorite flower -- a red rose -- out of the helicopter mid-flight ... over nearby Zaca Peak.
A rep for the helicopter company tell us -- fans are super excited for the aerial tour ... saying they feel it will bring them "closer to heaven" ... and closer to Michael.

MICHAEL JACKSON
The only man in the world who I can truly say I love
The man who spread the message of peace like a dove
He is in my heart, my soul, my body, my mind
His precious aura left my eyes blind
Because he was yours and mine
And I can't imagine to leave him behind
I LOVE YOU THEN, NOW & FOREVER!
Just know that I'll never let you go
MICHAEL JACKSON IS MY ANGEL!!!
Michael taught me how to love, how to smile in difficult times. He taught me everything, he will always be my angel, I love you Michael. God bless you.
Lloyd's of London has gone to court ... asking a judge to let the company off the financial hook, claiming it doesn't owe the Michael Jackson Estate $17.5 million on grounds MJ was a fraud.
The company issued the muilti-million dollar policy to cover the doomed "This Is It" tour for losses.
But Lloyd's claims it doesn't have to honor the policy for 2 primary reasons:
1. Michael Jackson and AEG allegedly lied about Michael's medical history -- specifically, MJ said he had not seen a doctor other than a cosmetic MD since June, 2005.
2. Michael did not disclose he was taking prescription drugs prior to and at the time of his death -- including Propofol.
Lloyd's is asking the court for a declaration that the policy is null and void as a result of the alleged fraud.
Howard Weitzman, the lawyer for the Estate, tells TMZ, "This legal action is nothing more than an insurance company trying to avoid paying a legitimate claim by the insured."
