Melissa's Lost Son (Dance Moms Fic)

Chapter 4: Return of Brooke

It was three days after thanksgiving and at a restaurant IHOP, Abby, Gianna and Franklin were sitting at a booth waiting for Brooke, who wanted to have lunch with them and usually, Franklin would sit with Gianna, but this time he was sitting with Abby and when Brooke arrived, she sat next to Gianna before they ordered their food, minutes later, their food came and they began eating.

"Miss Abby, i want to come back to the team." Brooke told Abby, who sighed.

"It's not just that easy, Brooke." Abby said. "You stabbed everybody in the back and slapped us in the face."

"I just wanted to try it out to make sure dance is what i wanted to do." Brooke admitted.

"Brooke, what our problem was with that you didn't speak up and say something beforehand, had you done that, we would have been mad and all, but it would have been the right thing to do. We mean, you just didn't show up and let a lot of people down, you let us down." Franklin added. "We know you're going through the teen phase now, i've been there and believe me, it was tough and i was worried that i'd lose my love for dancing, but Abby and my mom told me that as you get older, you're gonna lose something so i have to conserve it as much as i could and i did."

"And he became successful thanks to that." Gianna added. "Our biggest disappointment would be that you just did not want to dance. You have a talent that you were born with, don't throw it away. We think you have a lot to offer to the team and you're really going to have to prove yourself."

Brooke nodded.

The next day at the studio, It was the first day of rehearsal for the new week.

"Before we begin, we would like to like to officially welcome Kendall, she is officially a member of the Abby Lee Dance Company." Abby announced as the moms and girls applauded as Franklin walked to Kendall to hand her an ALDC jacket with her name on it as Jill had the grin of cheshire cat.

"Remember this, Kendall, it is going to be tough from here on out, so you have to work hard and when you wear that jacket, you've got to stand up straight." Franklin said.

Kendall nodded.

"We are going to Starbound in Long Island, New York and we'll tell you this, they're ready for us, they want to beat the Abby Lee Dance Company and they are serious. They are like sharks in the water and they can taste the blood." Abby informed, then pyramid began and she revealed the first headshot. "Mackenzie, you did well with your solo last time, you need to do even better this time."

Franklin revealed the next photo, which was Nia's headshot. "Nia, you were only in the group dance, so not a lot to judge you on."

Abby revealed the next headshot, which was Paige's headshot. "Paige, you didn't do a solo, duet or trio, so like Nia, there wasn't a lot to judge you on.

The next headshot revealed by Franklin was Kendall's headshot. "Kendall, you are off probation, you are a member of the team, but the feet, turnout and the back of the knees need tuning. You still have a lot of work ahead of you."

"All right, moving on." Abby revealed the first headshot on the middle of the pyramid, which was Maddie's headshot. "Maddie, you did a great job, won your category and the overall high score. But we have to keep challenging you."

"And next..." Franklin revealed the next photo, which was Chloe's headshot as Chloe looked over at Maddie, Payton was starting to grin as well as Leslie as the other moms were dreading that Payton would be at the top. "...Chloe, we'll give them what they want, another Maddie-Chloe showdown. Chloe, when you walk backstage in those wings, you've got to walk in there with arrogance and your nose up in the air just like you walk into this studio everyday like i did when i was dancing for Abby. Those other dancers should be scared of you just because you're Chloe and you're from the Abby Lee Dance Company."
