Time Of Our Lives (Dance Moms Fic)

Chapter 19: Showcase 2012

Monday arrived and at the studio, Dominic was seen arriving in his new van Next to Abby's parking space was a parking space that had a sign in front of it that said "Reserved for Dominic Miller" as James was outside talking to Gianna.

"Nice vehicle, Dominic." James commented, high fiving him.

"Thanks, James. Mom surprised me with this for my birthday yesterday." Dominic told him.

"Cool." James said.

"What do you think of your parking space?" Gianna asked.

"I like it." Dominic responded.

"Glad to hear."

Later, when pyramid was done, Abby was talking to the girls and moms, who were wondering what was gonna happen and Jill started to complain about Kendall not being on the pyramid.

"Jill, here's the thing, Kendall is here because she is filling in for Paige and the second we get word that Paige is able to dance, Kendall is out." Abby told Jill.

"My Little Kendall is a winner, yet you won't put her on the team!" Jill griped.

"In this studio, the team part is about commitment!" Dominic firmly said, before he turned to Kendall. "Your mother is always ready to jump ship, like she was about to now. Got it?"

"Crystal clear." Kendall replied.

"We're gonna say this to everybody now: We don't want altercation, tears, screaming or yelling, do you know why? Because this is going to be a big week!" Abby sternly said. "Because the Abby Lee Dance Company Showcase is this weekend, it isn't a competition, but it's equally as important and for the showcase, we'll be doing a routine called Light My Fire, which is Hip-Hop."

The moms all had raised eyebrows

"I was the master of Hip-Hop dances." Dominic stated, then he started doing some locking and popping moves like a robot as the moms and girls all laughed while Abby tried not to laugh.

"Dominic Miller, you're something else. That's why we love you." Abby told her son, then she cleared her throat. "Back to business. Paige, we know it has been weeks since you have competed, but we believe you're capable of being in the routine. But you have to be approved by the doctor and it'll be with the boot on."

"Kelly, since you're an original member of my mom's dance company, she'd like to see some of the classmates you had at the showcase because we want to see that mom's studio is alive, healthy and strong. I remember meeting them when i was really young." Dominic informed Kelly.

"You sure did meet them several times." Abby told him. "In addition, we'll be choosing one peron from each age level to win a cash scholarship, which is really generous."

"We had a fantastic time celebrating somebody's birthday yesterday." Brooke said, looking at her boyfriend.

"Yes we did, it was Dominic's 16th birthday this past Sunday and we surprised him with a Chevrolet Explorer Limited SE van, which he's said was his dream vehicle." Abby commented. "In addition, Dominic will be doing a vocal performance, which is a cover of Phil Collins' hit song from the 1999 Disney movie, Tarzan called "Strangers Like Me." and moms, you're dismissed and girls, warm up because we're about to start warming up."

The moms all headed up to the observation room and were watching the rehearsal.

"Brooke and Paige don't like hip hop." Kelly pointed out.

"How do they know if they have not taken it?" Jill asked.

"I'll admit, it's funny seeing Paige doing hip hop." Holly said.
