Hollywood, Here We Come, Part 2 (s4 e33)

Alessia's pov
We were all lined up again in front of Abby just like in pyramid. She began talking to us about nationals. Then she talks about the group routines.

"Kamryn step forward. Chloe step forward. Kendall step forward. Ale step forward" Abby demands and we all do. "You have solos tomorrow. Kamryn, if you lose, consider yourself out. Kendall, you have been in Maddie and Ale's shadow for quite some time. If you go out there and nail that number, then maybe you will see your name in lights. Chloe, I suggest you get in front of a mirror, and you work on your confidence. Ale, you do you and you'll be perfectly fine. All right, step back in line"

"Abby are there any other soloists?" Holly asks

"Well, Maddie started a solo. Maddie, do you want to do a solo?" Abby asks

"Yes. It's good that they're doing a solo, and I'm happy for them, but I want to do a solo, too" Maddie tells Abby

"Well, I think it should be that way, that the four girls get the solo." Melissa says before seeing Abby's face. "No, I just want, you know, a chance for the other girls."

"Melissa, I think you're backpedaling a little bit. I just remember when you were more concerned with her future than your friendships and how everybody else felt." Abby says and then the moms and her start to argue a little. Eventually she shuts them down and starts talking about the groups.

Then we start to warm up

ONE DAY TO
NATIONALS

After warming up the Select Team starts rehearsing. Then it's our turn. Abby talks to us a little bit before we rehearse for the last time before nationals. Also, Sarah R, is now in our group because Abby wanted one more dancer. But the dance seems to be a little messy. Abby starts talking and then our moms walk out

Melissa comes storming back in a few minutes later though.

"I'm just sick and tired of all the shit. I want to just take my kids and go to nationals. I'm so over this." She says and then leaves

***

After group rehearsal with Abby, the Elite Team goes downstairs to work on our group routine again because it's kind of messy.

Abby called me, Kendall and Chloe up to work on our solos. Kendall did hers first, then Chloe and then it was my turn

"Up, and good. Hit, hit beautiful." Abby says while I rehearse. "You have nothing to worry about babe. Dance like this, you'll win"

Then Abby dismisses us. The three of us and our three moms go to the hallway. Christi and Chloe start talking and Christi gets mad and walks away

"It's okay Chlo. I know you'll do amazing" I hug her. "Just believe in yourself"

DAY OF NATIONALS

When we get off the bus we see the entire crowd outside holding up apples and being silent.

"Why do they have that? What is this? Like a cult?" Abby asks me and Maddie as we walk by. I was honestly trying to hold in my laugh. This was so stupid yet so funny

We go past them and walk to our big dressing room. I immediately start to work on my makeup. Once I finish that I began putting my hair in the bun.

"I think they're doing Chandelier. But also something with 7 Rings. Kendall said she heard both songs walking by their door" Jill tells everyone

"In the program book, it says they're doing Chandelier as the group and 7 Rings as a trio" Melissa informs us

"Oh, my God. I'm gonna get sick to my stomach" Abby says
