Michael: 24 Janet: 16
(Btw, i may have got the age differences wrong on some chapters...8 years apart, aren't they? Just thought i'd correct it. Hope it's better now :P)
Oh, and i don't care whether it's spelt with a 'C' or a 'K', shes 'Katherine' now, ok? :P
"Happy Birthday Janet!" the family cried, as Janet beamed at her whole family standing around a pile of presents.
She didn't expect to see all of her brothers there, and she definitely didn't expect to see Michael, as he was in the middle of creating his Thriller album.
"Happy Birthday, Dunk" he winked walking over. She pushed him playfully before giving him a hug.
"I thought you were too busy?" Janet questioned, eyeing up her mother who grinned at her.
"Why would I miss my baby sister's birthday?" Michael asked, rhetorically. Janet grinned her big gorgeous smile and kissed Michael's cheek.
"Well, come on, time to open them!" Latoya sang, leading Janet over.
The gifts were beautiful; Janet's sisters and her mother gave her mostly jewellery and clothes, whereas the boys gave her mostly money, on the excuse that they didn't know what to get her. When she had finished opening them, she looked around the room, noticing that Michael had gone.
"Guys, where's Mike?" Janet asked.
"Gone to get your present ready, but it's a surprise! Oh, and sorry about this" Latoya said. Before Janet could question her, Latoya blindfolded her and led her outside. Janet giggled as Latoya kept tickling her.
"Dunk, are you ready for my present?" Michael asked, now stood in front of her.
"I know that voice! Yes, I am!" Janet beamed. Michael took off her blindfold, and she gasped in shock at the best birthday present ever.
In front of Janet was a red convertible, so shiny that it reflected Janet's amazed expression. The wheels were gold and the seats were made of cream leather. The car had a proper stereo too. Janet traced her hand over the car in awe, finding her name engraved on the side of the car.
"Mike, I can't believe this! Thanks!" Janet squealed, running into Michael's arms. He picked her up and spun her round.
"Obviously you can't drive it until you pass your test, but I figured that you might want to go for a drive in it later?" Michael asked.
"YES YES YES!" Janet beamed, kissing Michael and hugging him.
"Please be careful out there, ok?" Katherine told them.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her mother" Michael smiled, putting his arm around Janet.
The rest of the day was spent at the large house in Encino, California. The house was huge, and it had a swimming pool, much to Michael's enjoyment. He and Janet grabbed all the super soakers they could find, and the family embarked on a super soaker war, with the exceptions of Latoya and Katherine who didn't like to get wet, and water fights weren't really Joe's thing.
After dinner, and when the family had dried off, Michael led Janet outside, and once they were out Janet started crying and hugging Michael.
"Hey Hey, what's wrong?" Michael asked her, concerned.
"Nothing, I'm just so happy you could be here for my birthday, and the present is the best thing I've ever owned" Janet cried.
"It's ok, I knew you would like it. And you know i wouldn't miss your birthday for the world. So, you ready?" Michael asked, with a huge grin on his face, almost like Janet's.
"Ready for what?" Janet asked.
"Your first ride in your present! I thought we could go and see a movie whilst we do that?" Michael suggested.
"Yes please!" Janet beamed, climbing in the front passenger seat. She noticed how comfy it was when she first sat there; she couldn't wait until she could drive.
Michael turned on the engine and the radio, turning up the volume really loud, before driving off into the night.
The staff at the cinema quietly guided Michael and Janet out of the cinema, just as Michael had asked them. He wanted to avoid people knowing they were there to avoid any crowds of fans.
They got back into the car parked at the back of the cinema and once again sped off into the night.
"Thanks for tonight!" Janet yelled over the rush of wind.
"No problem, I'm glad we got to spend time together!" Michael yelled back to her. He turned up the radio; 'Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" started playing. Janet laughed at her brother as he sang along to it. The pair soon found themselves cold, and Michael pushed a button that pulled the roof over the car.
"I didn't know it could do that!" Janet laughed. Michael wrapped his arm round her.
However the fun was soon about to be smashed apart. Janet and Michael approached the crossroads, and when the light turned green Michael pushed on the accelerator. But before Michael could react, another car sped through the red light at the crossing. The car was out of control, and it smashed into Michael's side of the car.
Janet screamed as the car flipped over, and the front window smashed. The last thing she heard was Michael's frantic voice shouting out for her, before she blacked out.
2 Days Later...
Michael's eyes slowly opened; he found himself in a white room which was too bright for him.
"Oh thank god!" a familiar voice rung out in the room. Michael looked over, and his vision adjusted to see his mother with tearful eyes, looking at him.
"Mother...I'm so sorry" Michael apologized.
"It's not your fault, baby. It was just your bad luck" she smiled, ruffling his hair.
"Where's Janet? Please tell me she's ok!" Michael said, starting to panic.
"Calm down, she's fine. She'll probably be here in a minute; her injuries weren't as bad" Katherine told him. He began to relax, and beamed when he saw his sister enter the room minutes later.
"Mike! Thank god!" She said, relieved. Tears welled up in her eyes as she hugged her brother, and she seated herself next to Katherine, who put her arms around her.
"What happened?" Michael asked.
"When we pulled out into the crossing another car hit into us. After that i don't remember..." Janet suddenly looked distant, trying to remember. Michael was pained to see the bruises on her body and the bandage that covered her forehead.
"After that your car flipped over and the medical team had to pull you both out of the car. Mike, you've been in a coma for two days. Your sister only escaped with a bump on the head though" Katherine smiled, hugging Janet.
"Janet, I'm so sorry about the car!" Michael cried.
"Hey, it doesn't matter! As long as you're ok, I don't care" Janet smiled, kissing her brother's cheek. The pair were very lucky indeed.
Suddenly the door swung open violently to reveal their father.
"HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID MICHAEL?! YOU COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! NOT TO MENTION YOUR SISTER TOO!" Joe shouted, clearly fuming.
"It's nice to see you too, father" Janet replied, smugly.
"Don't you dare talk to me like that!" Joe yelled at her. Janet was about to argue back, but her mother put her hands on her shoulders, stopping her.
Joe turned back to Michael. "You shouldn't have been driving out anyway! You are recording in the morning! I may not be in charge of you anymore, but that doesn't mean you go reckless driving with one of your sisters as the passenger!" Joe yelled.
"Father, please! It wasn't Mike's fault! Another car smashed into us and knocked us off course! You can't blame Mike for everything!" Janet shouted in his face. She expected Joe to scream at her, but he didn't even raise his voice. Instead he simply left the room.
"Wow Janet! Nobody's ever managed that before!" Michael said, astonished.
"Maybe he's finally cracked" Janet laughed. She went back to join her mother in watching over Michael. Never did she think she'd be able to do that in her whole life.
