Now it can be revealed: Michael Jackson once led a team of Super Soaker assassins.

For one night, anyway. "Parks and Recreation" star Rashida Jones, whose father, Quincy Jones, produced Jackson's "Off the Wall" and "Thriller," describes in the new Playboy how she, her sister, and "Webster" star Emmanuel Lewis once helped Jackson douse unsuspecting moviegoers.

"Michael basically grew up with us, so I have a million memories of him," Jones told the magazine. "We were at each other’s house all the time. He was definitely a little bit of an alien, for sure, and when I was young, it felt as if he was my age, not 18 years older,  but with just a little bit more pep.

"Later, we’d go out on the town together. He always wore those surgical masks," she said. "Once, my sister, Michael, ­Emmanuel Lewis and I got in a car with Super Soakers and went by a movie theater and supersoaked the hell out of people waiting in line. They had no idea they’d just been supersoaked by the King of Pop."

Just another day with Michael Jackson.
