"Hey.. it's me.. your- buddy- Ricky. I know we don't usually do voice convos, but I saw you singing that song with Ashlynn today, and I kinda felt like we shared a moment or a thing. I don't know maybe a moment is kind of a thing. Anyway, whatever. If this voicemail is too much for you, or too soon, or you're just not... into it. then we can just ignore this whole thing and pretend it never happened.... poof. gone," Ricky speaks into his phone. "Nailed it. Crushed it."

💃🏽Dancing Queen💃🏽: THALIA!

🦋lia✨: What's up carlos?

💃🏽Dancing Queen💃🏽: Okay! so nini isn't responding to my texts, miss jenn's texts, or gina's texts and we need someone to work out the gabriella part for a new dance break during Status Quo. And since you're the gabriella understudy, can you come?

🦋lia✨: Sure! I'm omw

The music stops and Gina and Thalia do a finishing pose. Nini walks into the room.

"Everybody, hold!" Miss Jenn exclaims and walks over to Nini. "Nini, where were you? We've been here for an hour."

"I'm so sorry... I-I-uh-I lost my phone and basically spent last night living as a hunter-gatherer, which, by the way, did you know that there are things that are only on TV at a certain time?" Nini asks.

Alaina rolls her eyes.

"I'm pretty sure we all knew that," She chuckles to herself.

"Anyway, um, I picked it up in the lost and found..." Nini trails. "Wait, did you say an hour?"

"Gina sent you and me a text asking if we could come in early," Miss Jenn states.

"Nini is usually very organized. I wonder what happened," Thalia sighs.

"Hey, Gina, so Alaina is coming over to my house tomorrow night for a girls night. Wanna come?" Thalia asks.

"Sure," Gina smiles.

"This is my chance. Find out a way to get Thalia to quit the show. She and Nini are the only ones standing in the way of me being Gabriella. This phone thing and Ricky and the new dance is bound to have Nini quitting, but I haven't figured Thalia out yet," Gina states, her smile then falters, but her face hardens again. "So what if she's been nice to me. I'm gonna be leaving sometime soon anyway, might as well try not to get attached."
