You finished slipping on your purple dress, feeling rather happy. Your hair was fastened into a low ponytail, and you had a bit of makeup on. It was nine in the morning, and you were ready for the trip that you were about to take. The special thing about today was that you were finally going to be visiting one of the places that you had always wanted to go to - Neverland, the home of the man that you adored: Michael Jackson.
You had loved him for the longest time, mostly for his sweet attitude and his music. It had been a few years since he had passed away, and you were quite sad that you had never gotten to see him. You missed him a great deal, just as his other fans did.
Nevertheless, today you were going to Neverland as part of an organized tour. You had paid a lot of money for the tour, and you were excited. Working as an experienced bank officer meant that you could rent an apartment on your own, and buy the things you liked.
The tour started in half an hour, and you were going to drive down to Neverland. You were very excited, not being able to wait. Your purple dress looked splendid on you, emphasizing your beautiful complexion.
Turning around, you slipped on your black flats that were on the floor. Humming a soft tune, you grabbed your keys from your dressing table before dashing out of the room, which door was open. You did not bother to shut the aforementioned, jogging to the front door. You were so excited that you did not feel like eating or drinking anything.
Opening the front door, you stepped out before closing and locking it. You walked to your car and unlocked the door, pulling it open and getting in, proceeding to shut it.
Sticking your keys into the ignition, you started the car and reversed out of the driveway before driving off.
It was time to go to Neverland.

You brought the car to a stop outside of the Neverland gates, parking on the side. There was a tall man, whom you recognized to be the tour guide. He had on his uniform, looking rather smart. There was a large group of people standing around, presumably individuals who were to be joining the tour. Letting out a sigh, you grabbed your keys and opened the car door, getting out before pushing it shut. Stuffing your keys into the pocket of your dress, you approached the man in the uniform.
"Hi," you greeted, making him look at you.
"Good morning, ma'am," he smiled.
"Are you leading the tour?" you asked.
"Of Neverland? I sure am," he grinned. "Are you a part of the tour?"
"I sure am," you repeated the man's words, making him chuckle.
"Splendid," he nodded. "We'll be starting soon,"
"Great," you breathed before moving to stand undearneath a large tree, enjoying the shade it provided. The sun was shining brightly, making it the weather very hot. Fiddling with your fingers, you looked around. Everyone was chatting with each other, connecting smoothly.
You let out a breath before a female approached you. She was short and had long blonde hair. Her frame was petite, and she wore a long dress with short sleeves. Her eyes were a bright shade of blue, a pleasant smile plastered on her face.
"Hi," she spoke to you, making you smile a little. She was beautiful.
"Hi," you responded.
"My name is Leah," she said. "Are you a part of the tour?" she asked.
"Yep," you nodded. "My name is (Y/N)," you added.
"Wow, I love your name," she giggled a little. "I'm a part of the tour as well," she looked around. "I'm sorry if I bothered you," she winced a little. "I'm here alone,"
"Oh no, you didn't bother me at all," you laughed. "I'm here alone as well,"
"Shall we walk together during the tour?" she inquired with a hopeful smile.
"Sure," you said in response.
She readjusted her hand bag over her shoulder before the man in the uniform called for everyone to gather. You and Leah joined the group, standing at the back.
"Right, my name is Kyle, and I will be your tour guide for today," he announced. "Today, we are to be touring this beautiful place known as Neverland," he spoke loudly. "Now, I will stand at the gates, and I want everyone to hand me their tickets as they walk in," he looked at everyone. "Once you have entered, please gather neatly," he continued as everyone nodded. "Let us begin," he stood at the gates.
Everyone began to enter, handing Kyle their tickets. You fished out yours from your pocket, and Leah did the same from her hand bag. The two of you followed the crowds, eventually arriving at the gates.
Leah walked ahead of you, and she handed her ticket to Kyle before you handed your own to him.
"Thank you," Kyle smiled as you followed Leah in.
You joined the rest of the people and stood there, fiddling with your fingers. The sun was hot, making you squint slightly.
"I can't believe we're here," Leah said quietly. "I've always adored Michael," she looked at you as your eyes met hers. "I love him so much,"
"Cool," you laughed. "I've always loved him too," you bit your lip.
"I'm so excited," she looked around.
"So am I," you mumbled, feeling rather uncomfortable due to the heat.
The rest of the crowds entered through the gates, each person handing their respective tickets to Kyle. Once everyone was inside, the man turned to face everyone.
"Right, follow me,"
•❊•
You and Leah had been following the crowds, the two of you walking at the back. Kyle had led the way around the property, and so far, you had seen many things. The entire property was breathtaking. Despite the fact that the sun was hot, you had constantly felt as if a cold wave had engulfed you. Several times, you had heard your name being called from behind you, but when you turned - no one was there. Initially, Leah had been confused when you kept turning back, but you insisted that everything was fine.
Walking along, you looked around, your eyes filled with wonderment. Leah was a little ahead of you, and you had found yourself falling behind. As you moved, you sensed movement on your left. Turning your head, you looked - only to see that no one was there.
You frowned and continued to walk. Perhaps the heat was getting to you. Chewing on your lip gently, you made sure to stay with the crowd. Several minutes passed, and you spotted movement on your right. When you turned your head, you noticed that a figure disappeared behind the wall, looking rather mysterious. You became curious. Something inside of you urged you to follow the figure.
For some reason, it drew you in, and it seemed familiar. You looked back at the crowd and realized that they were moving ahead.
I'm way behind anyway.
You took in a deep breath and went in the direction that you had seen the figure. Breaking into a run, you caught up and saw the back of a man. He was tall and pale, he looked too familiar.
The figure turned around slowly and your eyes widened as your jaw fell open. It couldn't be.
Michael Jackson was standing right in front of you.
