NEW ORLEANS, La Alessia's pov "Come on girls. Let's go" Miss Abby yells and we go into the studio we're renting. Oh and guess what? Peyton and Leslie are here this week
"Here we are in New Orleans, Louisiana" Miss Abby says and we clap. "Filled with history. You guys are here to dance and you're here to win. Im going to get started on the pyramid"
"First we have Paige. I told you to put your knees on your chest and hit the tuck set in higher. You didn't do that onstage. Nia, you work hard. You were strong in your partner work. But what happens to your feet on the side aerial? What happens to your knees on those turns in second? And next, Brooke. You go out on stage, headpiece falls off. Your mother swore she had it in. I believe her. And next, Kendall. You have some great attributes"
"Abby, they were the highest score of the day of duets" Jill says and Abby nods. "She- the duet is two people. Why would she end on the bottom of the pyramid?"
"Kendall, maybe your mother should keep her mouth shut." Miss Abby says before moving on
"And next we have Peyton. Welcome to the team." Miss Baby says and we clap. "For this week Leslie. Moving on, Chloe. You know, that you were a better dancer two years ago. And next, Asia. Asia, I thought you did a great dance in the duet, as the doll. In the group routine I thought you were a hot mess. And next, Mackenzie. You won the overall high score in the mini division and you fell on your head and ruined the whole line in the group dance. And then we have Maddie. Overall high score on the duet, it was excellent. I feel that you could've done it as a solo."
"And at the top of the pyramid, we obviously have Ale." Miss Abby says and everyone claps. "Ale you were the highest score of the entire competition. Perfect score. I was very, very pleased"

"Girls, we are here in New Orleans to win at Nationals. The Wicked Witch of the West is here to beat you. You are all in the group routine at nationals. We will be perforating a tribute to the hurricane victims. Eight years ago, Hurricane Katrina devastated this city. Now my soloists, to be fair, everyone, will be learning a solo for nationals."
"Brooke, you and Payton will be learning the same choreography. Chloe and Kendall, you will be learning the same choreography. Asia, you should be an automatic shoo-in. But last week you made some mistakes. Mackenzie, your solo won the overall. Both of you will be learning the same choreography. Nia, Paige, you will be learning the same choreography. Maddie, I'm throwing you in there too." Miss Abby finishes
"What about me?" I ask raising my hand
"Ale. You have been, shall I say, unstoppable? All season long, you have won. You got a perfect score last weekend. You are the only person who is automatically having a solo at nationals because I know I can count on you to win" She says and I smile
"This is nationals. So if you're going to be here and you're gonna be on this team, you are going to be the absolute best that you can be. Spread apart. Grand pile in second" Miss Abby says
