"Five, six, seven, eight" Michelle counted. "Go one, two, three, four"

The four teenage girls began dancing the quartet that they had recently learnt for their studio heads.

"Whoever performs this quartet the best will represent The Next Step as a soloist at the convention competition" Michelle explained to the camera.

"This solo competition is worth a five point advantage at Regionals. So, we decided we have the best shot with either Jacquie, Richelle, Summer or Ophelia" Emily continues.

This was some of the toughest choreography that Ophelia had ever been taught. She enjoyed the challenge though, and thought it was a compliment to even be considered for the solo.

Ophelia was so immersed in learning the choreography, that she didn't realise that Ozzy and Kingston had walked in.

When Michelle told the girls to run it from the beginning, Ophelia finally notices and she curses under her breath at the sight of them both.

With the boys being in studio A, the girls had been kicked out and into Studio 1.

"Right now we're working on the dance" Richelle explains to the camera. "If I wanna win the solo, then each move I do has to be the best"

Ophelia was mid illusion when Richelle distracted her. "Stop"

Out of surprise, Ophelia wobbles for a moment, but quickly get her balance back as she listens to Richelle's reasoning.

"Guys, guy, guys. One more time"

"Okay yeah" Summer said.

Richelle elaborates further "Summer's illusion is a little straighter than mine, but I can't let that happen. And I don't even wanna talk about Ophelia's, she's just too good"

Within a mere minute, Jacquie begins with the same ordeal as Richelle.

"Sorry, stop. I just kind of... Just... From the top" Jacquie says

"I will not let Summer be better at any move than me, so if that means we have to stop and restart so I can perfect it, I can be here all day" Jacquie says.

This cycle continues for around an hour, each time making Summer and Ophelia more confused.

"This is going to take forever" Summer says, annoyed.

"Okay guys. We don't have much time. What's going on?" Summer asks.

"Yeah is everything alright guys" Ophelia adds.
