Andddd I'm on a roll... I really want to hear your thoughts on this one !

-------------------------------

The following day on set, the girls split up to head to their respective filming locations. Amaia caught sight of Tatter from afar and waved a quick hello before keeping her distance. She was hopeful the girls would still be good friends. She gave the filming 200% yet her heart was bit heavy, feeling lonely on the set. Once the last video was recorded, the producers called it a day.

Everyone gathered back hours later on the main stage to watch the final production. Amaia was glad to be reunited with her teammates, as Kirsten enveloped her in a hug, and sat her down close to her. She couldn't help but wonder if Kirsten was feeling somehow responsible for what happened the previous day.   Regardless, Amaia appreciated the gesture. Their group's video was the first to be shown, and her friends cheered enthusiastically at her appearance on the screen.

"This is great Amaia!!"

"Ouhhhh that's our baby!! You looked so gooodd" Kirsten congratulated her.

She felt herself blush, grateful for the vote of confidence. However, the competition was far from over. Each dancer would now perform individually to be elected as the main dancer. She was send off by a final big hug from Kirsten, and notice on her way Tatter being in a similar embrace with Bada. The two girls ended up side by side on the same row.

Amaia's excitement grew as she was called up for the final performance, narrowing down to four dancers, including Tatter. She felt her team encouragements, but Rena got voted Main Dancer, deservedly so though Amaia. It was the moment where she would select the Worst Dancer. She hoped she wouldn't bring negative points to the team and anxiously squeezed Latrice's hand, possibly leaving a bruise in the process waiting for the judges' choice she would probably bruise.

"It's totally fine, Amaia. Even if you're selected, don't worry, we got this" Latrice reassured her.

Amaia sighed in relief when Buckey was named the Worst Dancer. As the rankings continued to be announced, she was genuinely happy for Audrey and Ling. Latrice was voted as the Main Dancer for their team. However, Manequeen, the leader of another team, chose BEBE's Cheche and Kyma as the worst dancers. Their team was left speechless, and Bada made some angry remarks about getting her strategic revenge, which bewildered Amaia.

Could the girl stop thinking about strategy for a second?, Amaia wondered.

When it came to the leaders turn to perform tough, the atmosphere switched up quite a bit. Everyone was screaming for their own leader. Amaia knew Kirsten would own them. And she was. Amaia caught a glimpse at Bada' s face and it was almost comical. The tall girl looked extremely anxious at her competition, as Kirsten was devoring the dance floor, outshining all her competitors. For the third time in a row, Kirsten was put up to battle, this time with Bada. The two girls energy were clashing against each other, and they gave it their all. Audrey and Amaia were jumping on the sides as Kirsten finished, congratulating her.

"You are the best in any case, we win girl, we have you as our leaders" Amaia said almost overwhelmed with the emotion radiating through the stage.

Kirsten seemed a bit choked up as well and simply swept both Amaia and Audrey in another hug.

In the end, Bada was selected main dancer, and dropped to her knees, a testimony on how stressed she was. She did not look that happy, which made Amaia wonder what could dampen her mood. Kirsten admitted to them when they were waiting for Bada's answer that she worried Bada would pick her.

"But that would be purely strategic, right? I mean, you tied with her for Main Dancer," Amaia pointed out.

"I know, but we don't have a lot of lost points, so it wouldn't be that dumb," Kirsten explained.
