michelles POV:
"Ok, I love you!. you'll do great." I say too Emily while the group is going onto the stage.
"I love you too, I know we'll do great." Emily runs on stage.
Emilys POV:
"I love you too." I say to Michelle while entering the nationals stage for the first time.
We're doing great, I can feel us moving as one. Breathing as one. We've got this, where going to win. 'please reach out for me and show me that you're mine.' the music ends. I look over to everyone and I see Thalia is hurt, she runs off the stage limping and eldon runs off after Thalia...hope she's ok.
We all run off stage and see whats happening with Thalia. Michelle lifts her dress up to see her knee is swollen and hurt. I look at it and I know she cant dance...I remember my old, old friend Mia, well she was my girlfriend, but it was 5 years ago so it doesn't anymore. anyways she done this too her knee and she couldn't dance at all, so she quit.
"OK, um why don't you try stand on it?." Kate says to Thalia, I know I have to but in because she SHOULDN'T stand on it.
"NO!." I yell everybody looks at me. "she shouldn't stand on it, it will make it worse. Remember Mia Kate." I tell her.
"oh yes, I remember when you too were hugging-" before Miss Kate could finish her sentence Michelle buts in.
"WHAT, who's mia?" crap...I pull Michelle over.
"Michelle...it was nothing. Trust me, it was 5 years ago, I was 11!." I tell her.
"but you've never mentioned her?." she tells me while looking upset.
"Michelle." I grab her hands. "I didn't mention her because...she doesn't mean anything to me, to be honest I think we where just friends. But you're the only one I want, you are my world, you're everything anyone would want in a girlfriend. I love you."
"ok...I love you too." she gives me a peck on the lips, that god she's not got anxiety like Riley.
I run quickly back on stage for the judges to realise the judgement. "THE NEXT STEP." "AHHH!," I shout like everyone else is doing. Michelle runs onto stage and spins me around in a hug position. WHERE MOVING ONTO FINALS OF NATIONALS BABY!, WHOOO. But with Thalia's injury we haven't got 10 dances unless...Michelle can dance in a final number...
****************************
Michelles POV:
The team is right now discussing their options for the finals because of Thalia cant dance, the doctor said.
"guys, I think we might have to forfeit." Miss Kate says to the team, we can just give up like that.
"Miss Kate, we've worked way too hard." west says.
"well does anyone have any ideas...?" Unless, I could dance. I know most of the Choreo from rehearsals and I can fit Thalia's part, I can change some of her front walk overs to front aerials for a better routine.
"I do..." I say to the team, I get up from my chair. "Im the only other dancer here...let me dance, I know most of the choreo from rehearsals and I can even change some moves, like the front walk over to front Ariel.
"Michelle, we cant let you dance..." Kate says.
"I can dance, i've already made a solo, and with some help of Noah and eldon I can know do more tumbling.
"Michelle...you sure?."
"I'm positive, but I need someone to look after ophelia."
"I can do it." phoebe says, I do have to admit she's good with kids, so ok.
*******************************
Emilys POV:
i'm just buying a snack and some fresh water from the nationals Starbucks because its really hot today, for myself and Michelle and then I see elite. They got knocked out in the female solo by Riley, hope they don't see me. I walk quickly past them until one of the girls 'Tess' pulls me over.
"aww, you going to go give your Lesa girlfriend a cold water." Tess tells me.
"well...yes, whats wrong with that, i'm hot and she's hot, it's a hot day?." I ask, i'm a bit scared to be honest.
"this should make you cooler." she chucks an iced water all over my dance uniform, im so embarrassed.
"where's your friends...oh you probably don't have them or there fake, bye lesbian." she tells me while walking off.
Did that really just happen, she just bullied me. For some reason she made me feel alone, I just gotta hold back these tears and run to the dressing rooms.
I run into the dressing rooms, chuck some spear clothes on and grab hair dryer. I dry out my uniform with he hair dryer, this should be better...

Michelles POV:
Where right now practising through the finals routine and I feel amazing, I can actually dance on the nationals stage.
"OK, EVERYONE QUICKLY FULL OUT." I stand in the position that I start in, its a duet with...eldon, but its ok though. Im basically one of the main characters of the dance, and i'm surprised they gave me it. I end doing my layout.
"OK, that was good. Now we need to get in costumes. Michelle can I talk to you quickly?." Emily says to the team and me.
"yes, sure." I walk over to Emily. "whats wrong?." I ask her.
"umm...well." wait is she going to break up with me or something.
"omg, you're going to break up with me no, please." I panic.
"Michelle!, of course not, thats not what I was going to say at all." thew.
"what is it then, are you ok?." she looks sad, then she bursts out in tears.
"hey, hey whats wrong." I give her a loving tight hug.
"elite..." she tells me as I play with her hair.
"let me guess...Tess." I say in a soft voice.
"yes, she bullied me and chucked water all over me." she tells me while looking in my face, I give her a kiss.
"Michelle and Emily you Gotta get dressed...Emily are you ok." Kate says while Emily running off to get changed.
"its just elite, she's fine. i've talked to her." I quickly catch up to Emily and hold her hand and she places her head on my shoulder as were walking to the changing rooms.
30 minutes later
ok, where all ready and its omg, 23:59. So thats what they meant by 4 days.
"hands in and TNS on THREE!." I say to the team.
"1 2 3 TNS." we all say and get into our positions.
