Time Of Our Lives (Dance Moms Fic)

Chapter 21: Off Day, Rotten Apple?

It was two days prior to Nationals and also, it was an off day from rehearsal for the Abby Lee Dance Company and at Mel's Drive-In, a classic style diner on Highland Avenue near Hollywood Boulevard where a outdoor mall named Hollywood & Highland is at, Abby, Dominic and Brooke were enjoying lunch as Abby was eating a B.L.T., Brooke was eating Mel's 3-Deck Club and Dominic was eating a Taco Chicken Salad.

"I sure love coming here when we get the chance to come to Los Angeles." Dominic commented.

"Me too." Brooke said as Abby smiled at the cute couple. "Miss Abby, what do you think is gonna happen next dancing season?"

"Who knows, but don't be surprised at the drama the moms bring." Abby responded.

"Jill needs to take her midol and stop whining so many times." Dominic commented.

"Good one, Dom." Abby laughed.

"Maybe put a mute button on her and when she complains, press it and we can have a decent rehearsal for once without her griping." Brooke added.

"I know, right?" Dominic agreed.

Meanwhile, Christi, Kelly, Chloe and Paige were at the Beverly Center and they did some shopping.

"Did you know when this mall opened, there used to be a Bullock's store before Macy's and Bloomingdale's came?" Kelly informed.

"I remember that." Christi said.

"Cool fact." Paige commented.

"Yeah." Chloe stated. "Miss Abby told me that she used to take Dominic here a lot."

"She sure did and she also took him to the Hollywood & Highland mall too."

"Abby maybe tough on all of you, but she loves you girls like family and has taken you a lot of places." Christi commented.

"No doubt about that." Paige said as they continued shopping.

At an film amusement park called Universal Studios Hollywood, Maddie, Mackenzie Nia, Melissa and Holly were seen getting off of Jurassic Park: The Ride, a ride based off of the Jurassic Park movies.

"Wow, Mackenzie, you were brave to ride this! I'm proud of you!" Melissa complimented.

"Dominic told me all about the times he rode this and showed me a video on what to expect when riding this ride." Mackenzie stated.

"I'm glad he did." Maddie commented.

"Me too." Nia added.

"Where to next?" Holly asked.

"How about we head over to Johnny Rockets?" Melissa suggested.

"Yeah, i'm kind of hungry." Mackenzie stated and they headed over to the restaurant.

At a arena called Staples Center, which is home of the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers, The WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks and the NHL's Los Angeles Kings, who had won the Stanley Cup a month prior, Jill and Kendall were admiring the building.

"This is a really good arena and it lights up at night and it's mostly blue, but sometimes it's green." Jill said.

"I didn't know it was green at times!" Kendall stated.

"I've seen photos of it with green light."

"Cool."

"I believe next year will be your year, My Little Kendall." Jill commented.

"Hopefully, just don't get into a lot of fights with Miss Abby."

A day later, as the Abby Lee Dance Company was rehearsing as it was the last day of rehearsals, the Candy Apples Dance Center were seen outside of the studio heading down the street and arrived at the studio.
