Strictly Dancing: A New Generation

The First Step

The next day, Emily wakes up, with full of excitement. She wakes up early in the morning and make Scott and herself breakfast. Scott wakes up minutes after Emily and surprise to see her happy and serving breakfast.

"Morning, Dad!", Emily greeted with a smile. "Morning, Em. You seem happy today.", Scott replied with slight smile. "I am, because today is my first day back at the dance academy and I'm so excited to dance again.", Emily smiled. 

"I can see that. You're nervous to come back?", Scott asked. "A little bit, but I'm also excited at the same time.", Emily smiled. "That's what I like to hear.", Scott smiled. After having breakfast, Emily heads to the dance academy, where Sky and Paige teaches and is happy to walk back inside again. 

Emily finds her old classroom and finds her friends, Juliet and Gen inside, getting ready for class. "Gen, it's Emily!", Juliet cried. The three girls screams as Juliet and Gen runs to Emily and hugs her. "Welcome back, Em!", Gen cried. "Happy to be back!", Emily smiled. "So I see that you have made a full recovery.", Juliet smiled. 

"Yes, thanks to my physical therapist and the help of my family, I made a quick and full recovery.", Emily replied. "Are you nervous for your first day back?", Gen asked. "A little bit, but I'm mostly excited.", Emily smiled. "That's the spirit, Em!", Juliet smiled. Then, Sky and Paige come into the classroom. 

"Okay, everyone get in a line, please!", Sky called out, as all of the students form a line in the entire room. "So you may all know is that Emily is back with us after spending an entire year off from a related injury, so please give her a warm welcome back.", Sky smiled, as everyone claps for Emily, who smiles at everyone. 

"So let's start with basic steps, so get into positions and start dancing on my count.", Sky replied, as everyone waits and then dance their basic steps. Emily takes her very first steps, but the moment she moved, she remember the day she had her accident at last year's Regionals. Emily starts to breath heavily and begins to sweat, leaving her frozen in fear. 

Paige notice Emily panicking from the distance and alerts Sky. "Sky!", Paige screamed, as Sky hears Paige's cry and looks at Emily, who then collapses to the ground and passes out. This caught everyone's attentions and they all gasp in shock. Sky runs to Emily's aid and tries to wake her up. 

"Em, Em, can you hear me? Emily!", Sky cried, shaking her shoulders lightly, but Emily remains unresponsive. Minutes later, Emily is rushed outside the academy, on stretcher, as Scott arrives after Sky called him. Scott sees Emily, being taken into the ambulance van by paramedics. "Sky!", Scott called out. "Hey, man.", Sky sighed.

"What happened? I drove all the way here after you called.", Scott cried. "I don't know, we were just doing some basic steps and a few moments later, she started to panic before passing out. The paramedics wants to bring her in.", Sky replied. "Ok, you go back to your class, I'll go with her.", Scott replied. 

"Ok, I'll drive your car back to your place and let me know any updates at the hospital.", Sky called out. "Thanks and will do.", Scott cried, as he climbs into the ambulance van with Emily. Emily is taken for check ups, as Scott waits in the waiting room. Minutes later, Sky and Paige arrives to the hospital after their class. 

"Hey, where's Emily?", Sky asked. "She's still inside, the doctors are still checking on her.", Scott sighed. Suddenly, Dr. Choi, the same doctor that treats Emily from her back injury a year go, arrives to the waiting room. "Dr Choi! How's my daughter?", Scott asked. "Emily is fine, she is resting.", Dr Choi replied. 

"Do you know what wrong with her?", Sky asked. "Well, I did a few check ups and after what you told me and I believe Emily may have PTSD.", Dr Choi sighed. "PTSD?", Paige asked. "Post traumatic stress disorder. It means Emily might be having some trauma about her accident.", Dr Choi sighed.
