James runs over and gives Charlie a hug, "Oh my god! Your moves are insane, I wish I could do half that stuff" James said
"Thanks that means a lot coming from you" Charlie says
"Why from me? You're just as good as me" says James confused
"You're an A-Trouper and I'm just on J-Troupe" says Charlie
"Not for much longer by how you danced today." James said, which made Charlie's face light up.
"I think your friends are here if you want to say hi" Riley said pointing over to the J-Troupers walking in.
"Of course. I really hope I can be on A-Troupe with you guys" Charlie says before she leaves.
After Charlie leaves Riley turns to James and she hits him.
"Ow! What was that for?" He said jumping away from her
"There is no way Charlie is getting on the team, she's too young. You're just setting her up for disappointment" Riley said cynically.
"If she's too young, then why did they let her and Noah audition?" James said.
"Emily basically begged Miss Kate. I can see why, she's amazing. But Miss Kate doesn't like taking risks. Even if everyone else votes for her, Miss Kate has the final decision." says Riley
"Does Charlie know this?" James said looking over at the smiling young girl.
"No, it would crush her. Miss Kate, will move her up when she's ready in her eyes." says Riley
"When will that be?" says James
"I don't know, for some J-Troupers that time never comes" Riley says
"This is totally unfair, Charlie should have an equal chance to get on this team just like anyone else. I don't really know what I can do, I don't want to ruin my place on the team going up against Miss Kate but I want to do what's right." James in the interview chair.
James storms over to Miss Kate's office and Riley tries to stop him but can't. They all turn when they see James enter the office.
"James you can't be in here, we haven't finished making our decision" says Emily
"Perfect, because we have something to talk about" James says in a serious voice.

"Since my plan failed earlier with stealing Charlie's bracelet, it's time to go into damage control mode." Daniel says in the interview chair.
Daniel walks over to Charlie with the bracelet in his pocket, he taps her on the back and she turns around. "You're Charlie right? I think this is yours, I found it by the cubbies" Daniel lies
"It is, thank you so much. I have been looking everywhere for it." Charlie says gratefully, taking the bracelet from Daniel.
"I'm so happy I got my bracelet back, there's one thing I can't get out of my head though. The only one that knew about it was Noah and he was at the cubbies with me. Could he have taken it?" Charlie says in the interview chair.
"Yeah of course, I'm just glad I could return it to the owner" Daniel lies
"Daniel is so nice, I'm glad there is at least one other auditioner I can trust," Charlie says in the interview chair.
Noah walks over and sees the familiar bracelet, "You found your bracelet, where was it?"
"Like you didn't know where it was Noah" Charlie says walking away.
