Q: As Danny put his lunch tray onto the cafeteria table, milk spilled all over his sandwich. "This is the worst thing I've ever done!" he said, "It's not that bad," said his friend Elena, who was sitting across from him. "Just get another sandwich." "Sandwich? What sandwich? I am talking about the talent contest . It's only two weeks away and I don't know what I'm doing! Everybody will laugh at me. There's no way to avoid it!" "Don't be so _ , Danny," said Elena as she rolled her eyes. "You're going to be great. You have the skills to do just about anything." Danny moved his lunch tray to the side and rested his head on the table. "Sit up Danny," ordered Elena, "I have an idea. Let's brainstorm a list of things you could do. We'll divide the list into categories or groups. Let's start with music. You play the piano, right?" "I stopped taking lessons in the third grade," said Danny. "What about singing a song?" suggested Elena. Danny shook his head no. "Let's move on to another category." "What about performing magic tricks?" asked Elena, as she twisted thin strands of hair around her finger. "I don't know how to play magic tricks!" Danny almost shouted. "Stop being so..." Elena paused, "That's it, DRAMATIC!" Elena shouted excitedly. "You could do a dramatic reading. You definitely have the talent for it. Mrs. Pace always calls on you to read aloud in class. You could read a play aloud. Maybe you could even get extra credit from Mrs. Pace. She rewards students with points for doing extra reading work." Danny thought for a minute. Then he smiled. "Elena," Danny said, "You are a great friend!" Elena smiled back. "I just want to make sure you are a bright, shiny star when you step out on stage."

New York (CNN) -- More than 80 Michael Jackson collectibles -- including the late pop star's famous rhinestone-studded glove from a 1983 performance -- were auctioned off Saturday, reaping a total $2 million.

Profits from the auction at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York's Times Square crushed pre-sale expectations of only $120,000 in sales.

The highly prized memorabilia, which included items spanning the many stages of Jackson's career, came from more than 30 fans, associates and family members, who contacted Julien's Auctions to sell their gifts and mementos of the singer.

Jackson's flashy glove was the big-ticket item of the night, fetching $420,000 from a buyer in Hong Kong, China. Jackson wore the glove at a 1983 performance during "Motown 25," an NBC special where he debuted his revolutionary moonwalk.

Fellow Motown star Walter "Clyde" Orange of the Commodores, who also performed in the special 26 years ago, said he asked for Jackson's autograph at the time, but Jackson gave him the glove instead.

"The legacy that [Jackson] left behind is bigger than life for me," Orange said. "I hope that through that glove people can see what he was trying to say in his music and what he said in his music."

Orange said he plans to give a portion of the proceeds to charity.

Hoffman Ma, who bought the glove on behalf of Ponte 16 Resort in Macau, paid a 25 percent buyer's premium, which was tacked onto all final sales over $50,000. Winners of items less than $50,000 paid a 20 percent premium.
