This is sort of a spin-off of the 1992 film, Juice, featuring Omar Epps and Tupac Shakur. If you haven't seen, Juice is about 4 young men in New York trying to get the "juice", slang for power and respect. In this story, Michael, Shawn, Tupac and Shakkan are 4 seniors who live in the Sugar Hill projects in Harlem. In their minds, the only way out is up and the only way up is if you're slinging or you have a football or basketball in your hand. Michael and Shakkan can ball, but that's not enough to keep the group of boy's dreams alive. The only choice is dealing. One small problem. Where do they get the drugs from? Where do they sell? How do they sell, for that matter? That's where the young, sexy, witty Vanessa comes in. Her father is a notorious king-pin and she knows the ropes. With her knowledge and the teenage boys' strength, will they get the victory, success and juice, or will their dream turn to agony and failure? We'll have to see, now won't we?

December 1994.

Michael Joe Jackson had not been seen in public for nearly a year following the child molestation allegations.

Ariana Elspeth Noble had just been fired from the job she could never see herself leaving.

Michael's name always popped up in the news in some way, shape or form. The media could not leave him alone.

Ariana was disgusted by the way the media slandered her idol's name.

Michael was hurting badly.

Ariana wanted nothing more than to help him.

*~*O*~*

Ariana had acquired an old, full length mirror that had been left behind by her apartment's former tenant.

Michael kept it's twin in his room.

With whispered vows of love and pleas for help, it seems that the universe chose to bring these two together in the most extraordinary of ways. Will they find what they both didn't realise they needed?

"Michael, maybe...maybe if you had asked for help, and I had...had offered it, perhaps us meeting the way we did wasn't just some cheap trick."

no one will ever know...
