It's Showtime
Luna explained to her other fellow bandmates Sully and Mazzy about the concert which is held tonight and they thought it was rocking to check it so they wanna see it.
"So is that Prince of Pop handsome?" Mazzy asked,
"Why don't you judge for yourself? I even have the rehearsal on recording." Luna said as she shows Mazzy the recording of the rehearsal, rehearsing "Dirty Diana",
"Oh wow." Mazzy seems bewitched over my rehearsal performance,
Several hours later, the kids are home just in time that we can all be ready for show time and as we arrived to the arena and the attendance is pouring in,
"Wow. Sounds literally like a huge turn out." Lori said, as she and everybody else hopped out of Vanzilla and the line just yards away from the back of the arena,
"Yeah. This place has sold out just this morning." Bruce said and we headed to the locker room to prep ourselves and get ourselves ready, while Danica sets up her Apple laptop to play the playlist before the show starts to keep the audience entertained by playing Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, The Jackson 5, Aerosmith, J-Pop, Motown, etc.
"Okay Luna. You'll be performing with us for 'Dirty Diana', 'Beat It' and 'Bad'." Paula said,
"Gotcha dude." Luna said,
"Bruce will pick yous up before 'Bad' starts so that at the 2nd half of it, the kids will join me like I showed yous on the Wembley 88' show." I explained to the Loud family and they agreed,
"Okay, now I got somebody to lead you to your seats and have a great time. I gotta get my hair curled." I said,
"Laters." Lincoln said, later the Louds found their seats, they even find their friends around to hang out until show time will start, then all of the sudden Lincoln spotted someone he hadn't seen since his first concert,
"Huh? Cristina?", that was the girl he encountered before, a former classmate, he grew nervous since he last saw her which went awkward so he thought of seeing her the first since,
"Eh...I Cristina."
"Huh? Lincoln?" dang was that ever awkward with the two of them,
"I haven't seen you since the SMOOCH concert." Cristina said looking away,
"Yeah..." Lincoln said awkwardly and very shy so he had to say what he wanted to say,
"Listen...I wanna apologize for my video contest entry, the first one angered my sisters and I used another just to fool myself so we can be even and also that my sister Luna embarrassing me for applying that you're my uh...first concert love...dang it this so awkward!" Lincoln finally said it, but lashed out his awkward frustration,
"Lincoln. I kinda understand that. At first I thought you were a creep on your video contest I was sorta mortified and I didn't even noticed seeing you again at the SMOOCH concert for the tickets. And to be honest, I've been thinking about those incidents, I do know you didn't mean any harm and well..." Cristina explains as she starts to blush,
"I started to think that...I think I'm kinda falling for you." she smiled,
"Uh...well I...I didn't think that..." Lincoln was stuttering,
"Look. Lincoln's talking to a girl." Lola announces,
"Awwwww!" the Loud sisters cooed,
"Oh Linkie." Leni cooed, hearing this Lincoln's mood change still embarrassed, but really peeved of his sisters eavesdropping him,
"It's not what you think!" Lincoln exasperated, Cristina just giggles,
"I'm sorry about sisters, they just love to meddle." Lincoln said, while that was going on the other girls in Lincoln's class caught eyes on them,
"Hey who's that with Lincoln?" Girl Jordan asked,
"It's...Cristina." Brownie said,
"Lincoln! Cristina!" Cookie called out, then they turned their attention to the girls calling them,
"I haven't seen yous in like ages." Cristina said as she and Lincoln heads towards them, while that's going on, Leni went over to her friends who she invited,
"Leni. Glad you came." Fiona said,
"I'm happy you guys came." Leni said,
"Dish girl, we wanna see this little angel Fiona told us." said a girl named Mandy,
"How old is he again and what's his name?" said another named Jackie,
"Oh you mean Cameron. He's 4, like my sister Lisa's age. Look see." Leni said as she's a pic of Cameron with his baby pillow from her phone,
"Aww. He so cute." Jackie said,
"Where did you find that little darling?" Mandy asked,
"He and his family came to my house for a week to perform tonight." Leni explained,
"Is he really the son of Prince of Pop?" Jackie asked,
"He is and he has a sister." Leni answered, Jackie and Mandy squeals, then incoming, one of Leni's co-worker and friend Miguel arrived and then Becky came,
Meanwhile, in the locker room, I was on my pre-concert routine after Sarah finished getting my hair curled until Bruce came back with a couple of visitors to see me,
"Hey Joseph, there's somebody here to see you."
"Tell em' it can wait until after the show, I have my routine to do." I answered,
"There's a mother with her little daughter whom you met in Lisa's class and she wants to..."
"Why didn't you say so? Invite them in." I said, Bruce let's the mother and the girl in,
"Hey. You're the little sweetheart from yesterday." I said she rushes over to me and hug me,
"How's your knee?" I asked,
"A lot better." she said,
"Wanna take a picture with me and my team?" I asked,
"Yeah."
"Come on mama. Join in." I said signalling the mother to join, she accepted,
"You come in to kids." I called to Cameron, Hinata and Michael, then we all gathered as Jeannette takes a snapshot, the mother and I have a nice chat as the kids were playing and it went on for so long that it's already 7:48pm, almost showtime, it's time for the kids to perform the opening act,
"It's time for the kids opening act. You can go find a spot and have a good time." I said to the mother, then her daughter saw her mom about to leave,
"Your daddy's awesome. Bye.", then out of nowhere she kissed Cameron on the lips and ran to her mom, Cameron was speechless,
"That was your first kiss little brother. Lucky." Hinata said, he just said nothing,
"Are you ready kids?" Sarah asked,
"Darn right I'm ready." Hinata said,
"Uh yeah I'm ready." Cameron said monotonously,
"This is your first performance as an opening act. Don't be nervous baby." Aki said as her eyes swells up,
"Mom I'm fine really. I've been wanting to do it since I was 2. I'm ready." Michael said,
"I know you're ready sweetheart, I'm just so proud." Aki said and starts to cry embracing her son,
"Come on mom, I have to get out there." Michael said as he, Cameron and Hinata headed backstage,
"This is it luv. You're first major concert gig tonight. You excited?"
"Rocking out Chunk." Luna said, that big fella is Chunk, whom Luna known for sometime as her roadie, he went on stage for the presenting the opening act,
"E'llo Royal Woods!" the audience roars,
"Are you ready for Prince of Pop & P.Y.T. Girls!?", the audience roars again,
"But before they come to perform. We have an act opening for the Prince of Pop & P.Y.T. Girls. The 3 youngsters are gonna sing the Japanese song called 'Children's Holiday' by J-Friends written by Michael Jackson. So let's hear it for Michael Ryu Fusato, Hinata Kiss and Cameron Kiss!" Chunk announced and the audience cheers, then the kids came on stage,
"Look. There's Cameron right there." Leni pointed,
"He's even cuter in person." Mandy squeals, even the girls and ladies were squealing over Cameron and he grew even more shyer, then the song "Children's Holiday" plays,
ちいさなてがいるモノ

Backstage, Aki gets all teary,
"My baby's first concert performance."
ちいさなてはいつだって
しあわせをさがしているか
忘れないでドンナときも
(Children show us the goodness
That lies in our hearts
Let them lead the way to our tomorrow)

Let us celebrate children's holiday)
The audience were ecstatic, the ladies were squealing some more as they the kids bows and leaves the stage and it went dark.
"You made mommy feel so proud my boy." Aki cried and kissing him repeatedly,
"Mom. Please, you're embarrassing me." Michael whines,
"Now I'm gonna head over to the stage shortly." she said,
Then after a few moments of suspense, the lighting board turns on as Michael Jackson's legs lits up walking, the moonwalks, spins, tiptoed and finally...
BAOW! the sound roars as the lighting board flashes to your very eyes, then the stage lights lifts up, as it did, Stacey, Kim and Danica ran to the back for their positions, beside them Tiffany Lee, Kim, Erica and Neewa rushes to their mics and Monica, Sarah, Terri, Aki and myself went to the front center stage to prepare. The lights lowers down slowly going into a second of darkness, revealing our shadows and finally it's show time as I make the cue shouting out...
"HIT IT!"
