"I'll be back in a sec." Andrea lets go of EJ's hand, the adrenaline from the final number dissipating from her body after they had taken a cast photo. "I'm going to wait for the scout."
"Good luck." EJ places a chaste kiss to the girl's temple before crossing the room to where Aiden was.
"Andrea Townsend." The girl immediately perks up, turning to the direction of the powerful voice.
"Ms.Martinez, thank you for coming, again."
"And once again, it's been my pleasure." Valerian offers the young girl a proud smile. "I'm glad you aren't recovering from an injury this time around."
"Nope, all good here." Andrea laughs nervously.
"And to see that you choreographed this whole show by yourself. That's some impressive work, darling."
"Thank you. That truly means...everything."
"No problem." Valeria holds out her hand for the teen to shake, "You should receive a letter from us shortly." Andrea shakes the woman's hand, "I'll see you next fall."
Andrea's breath hitches at the news as Valeria struts off, leaving the stunned teen alone to her thoughts. She lets out a loud squeal before taking a deep breath to compose herself. "Chill, chill. You are chill."
Once she was relaxed, she makes her way back to the practice room where the rest of the cast stood around.
"Perfect, Andy. You can help me with this." Miss Jenn says as the girl finds her place beside Kourtney. "Okay, kids, listen up. Gina has something big she's about to tell everyone. But she didn't wanna ruin our night by telling you before the show. And she's about to come in here, looking like a movie star. And we should just... We should just cheer her on and support her. Okay." Andrea reaches out to hold Kourtney's hand. "Any minute now. She'll be here."
"I guess I'll say something?" Ricky steps forward. "You know, in case this is the last time we're all in the same room?"
"Of course. Yes."
"Uh... For the longest time, I thought that being happy was something that you arrived at. You know, uh... And when you got there, you were just there. You were just happy forever. But I guess I'm realizing that, um, happiness is something that comes and goes, you know, like people, or the weather in Utah." People chuckle softly, "I just wanna say, since this is the only time we'll all be in our graduating gowns together, that if I hadn't found this program or... No, if this program hadn't found me... I don't know what would've happened to me. I don't know where I would've ended up, you know? Because no one really believed in me. No one really accepted me and no one really saw me, before you guys. You know? This is the best thing that's ever happened to me."
"Ricky, you don't have to say it like it's over."
"It's never smart to count on tomorrow when all you've got is... You know? Tonight."
Just then, Gina enters the room, wearing the gown that Andrea had picked out for her. "Hi, everybody. Maybe everyone should sit down for this." Andrea finds EJ and Aiden before pulling them down to sit beside her. "Okay. Okay. I...Oh, gosh. I have so much I wanna say to you guys, but the makeup people told me not to cry before this press conference."
