Callie is a sheltered girl from a small town on the east coast who is finally out on her own and ready to explore the world she has never known. She makes it all the way to California before getting very lost and breaking down. In her search for help she stumbles across the Neverland Ranch and it's reclusive owner, Michael Jackson. Michael is a more than famous pop legend but he is a very private man. Dogged by papparazzi and a world who misunderstands him, Michael has retreated into his magical home, content to live out his days in miserable solitude. Although Michael is less than thrilled about Callie's arrival, he agrees to help her get back on the road but informs her that she must stay until the holiday weekend is over. Callie agrees to stay and explores the magical world Michael has created... But is she about to find something more? Can Callie look past the barriers that the rest of the world sees and judges Michael on and learn to love him for who he is?

Just a fair warning, this is not the most interesting chapter. Just a bit of a transition. I wanted to write more and post them together but I've really been missing Michael and I just watched "This is it"... I wanted to post something but I really don't think I'm in the right place to write more to this right now. I hope to post more chapeters soon... maybe in a few days... though... Enjoy!

I'm sorry it took me so long to post! I wrote these but wasn't sure I liked them very much so I had to walk away and rest and then come back to it. I'm pretty happy with it now... I hope you enjoy!

I decided to back up just a little and include the phone call between Callie and her parents that had her so upset... It's a bit of an interlued... Enjoy!
