"I'm so glad to be back!" 

"You say that like you weren't dancing the entire time you were away" Angelina chuckled, shaking her head.

"It wasn't the same... I missed the girls"

"I know, I know. But your getting more opportunities and your jobs come first. You'll be missing out on more competitions...".

" Yeh, but I love acting and I still get to dance anyway "

"Well talk about this later, now go and give Abby a big hug. She was really missing you last week."

"Now I want to begin by saying 'Welcome back Eden'" Abby cheered, along with the girls. 

"Thanks!"

"Now, last week's competition, Fire and Ice Elite was a big disappointment, ladies. I mean here we are invited back as winners, and you guys don't even place? Not acceptable!"Abby shakes her head in disappointment.

"The six of you weren't in unison. The groups need to be cleaner. Do you understand?" Abby questioned. The girls nod their head, Maddie looks down upset.

"Alright, now let me get right to the pyramid....first up is Mackenzie, I think your acting could have been bigger and longer, I think when you walk, we need to work on turning those feet out. Next, Paige. I was in the dressing room all day long, I didn't see you utilize your spare time, and you need to do that."

"Next, Nia. I need to see more from you"

"Moving up, Chloe. Chloe I thought you did a nice job on your solo. But your ten. Your competing ten to twelve. You have to dance like a twelve year old." Abby said, causing Christie to roll her eyes.

"Next, Brooke. Once again, you danced thirteen to fifteen. At thirteen, you won the while division. Well done"

"Next, Eden. Now your probably wondering why Eden is so high up on the pyramid when she didn't even attend the competition. Well Eden was attending Breaking Dawns part 2 premier, not only that but she was featured in Teen Vogue magazine at only nine years old." Abby bashfully announced.

I shifted on my feet, feeling the other mom's stare. The mom's hated when Abby announced my accomplishments in front of the girls. It was going to be an uncomfortable week.

"And on top of the pyramid is Maddie. Maddie, you won with challenging choreography. Now, Maddie your on the top, but can you stay there?" Abby said raising her eyebrows. 

"This weekend, we will be traveling to Miami, Florida. There's sun, there's sand and there's pool boys."Abby announced happily, causing me to scrunch up my nose.

"Everyone will be performing the group routine except Eden. The group routine is called 'Beach Fun. I want you to think about Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon in Beach Blanket Bingo.".

Raising my hand, in confusion. "Ms.Abby why am I not in the group routine?"

"Your not in this number because your mom told me you will not be here most of this week"

"Oh? ok..."

"From your reaction, I can tell you didn't know you wouldn't be here?"

"No Ms.Abby"

"Well you can ask her when your practicing your duet with Jacob for this weeks competition."

Nodding my head, I try to think if I had forgotten an upcoming job.
