Two Step Squads, Twenty-One and Fifteen, are the bestest of friends.
But when Numberland gets in trouble, they compete with each other to see who's a better Step Squad.
Fifteen is the Genie Of The Water. She has powers to control the water.
But Twen...
I don't know why I challenged Fifteen. What is wrong with me?! I'm not supposed to challenge her! I should teach her how to be better! It early morning, 9 AM. I walk to Fifteen's house and knock on the door. She opens the door almost immediately.
15: Hello, Twenty-One. Are you ready?
Me: Um.. maybe-
15: You're scared of losing. Aren't you?
Me: Uh.. No! No! No! I-I'm not s-scared from l-losing! I-I'm r-ready!
15: Let's see about that.
I'm not scared. I'm very super really unthinkably scared! I don't know what I'm going to do if I make a mistake. It's going to be so embarrassing! But if I want to stop this competition, I have to beat her! Or at least, let her beat me. I don't know! It's the Step Squad who is controling the situation. Not me.

Meanwhile, at Four and Nine
Nine: Come on, Four! Let's go get our milk and biscuits!
Four: Don't you have any.. square ones?
Nine: Haha! Sure, I do!
Four: Phew! No round things today for me!
Nine: Here you go, Four.
Four: Thanks, Nine!
Nine: No proble- *drops biscuit in milk* Ahh!
Four: Ahhh! *drops biscuit in milk*
Both: AHHH! This is a job for Step Squad!
15: I'll take Nine. You take Four.

1-5: The Super Special Secret Step Squad is here!
One: Step one! Remove the milk! That'll get you started!
Nine: What?!
Two: Step two! Remove the biscuit! And now we're on our way!
Nine: Hey!
Three: Step three! Replace the milk! Don't be downhearted!
Four: Step four! Replace the biscuit! We're gonna save the day!
Five: Step five, we go into overdrive! As we give you a straw!
1-5: And vanish away!
Nine: Good enough. There's still crumbles in the cup. But.. meh. *shrugs*

Four: Um.. are you okay, Nine?
Nine: I would have rather been saved by 21 than 15.
Four: That's true. 21 is better.
15: No!
21: No!
15: Someday, Twenty-One!
21: Ugh... Can we just, not do this?
15: Not until I win.
21: Come! On!
15: Later, Later, Step Squad rater!
21: *to herself* Why me? I only came for a vacation. Not for a challenge... I hope this ends soon! I don't want Fifteen to be sad, neither do I want to show her that she's better.
15: *to herself* How is Twenty-One better than me? I've been working as a Step Squad for a very long time now! It's not fair! I'll show her what I'm made of. The missions get harder by the day. Let's see what you can do, Ms. Explorer..
