  Summary

  It’s the MTV awards, and tonight is the first time you’ll perform your newest single, from your much anticipated 2nd studio album. You’re all set to give the performance of your life, except, some information arrives at the last minute, SECONDS before you’re about to go on stage.

  Your long term rival, Michael Jackson, has been seated in the front row...

  background/context: there is no official timeline for this story other than it's based in the early 90s. Michael's bad album has come out, and he's post tour / 29 years old. Other than that, there is no time-specific content. This is not a historically accurate fic, either. Most, if not all, things mentioned I have made up for the sake of entertainment. Please don’t take it too seriously. This is originally posted on Tumblr.
