"Come on girls, let's go!" Abby yells and we run into the studio. There's only five of us today since Paige is at the doctor and Kendall isn't here.

"I entered three girls in the solo division and I had three girls in the top ten. This week we are going to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania," Abby says, "Let's get to the pyramid. At the bottom, Paige. She had an outstanding performance and then, accidents happened. Next, Mackenzie. If you're at a competition, you are there to learn. Next, I have Chloe. You did a great job in the group. Next, Eva. Same thing as Chloe. You looked stellar at the end of the duet. Next, Brooke. You looked very mature in the group dance. Next, Nia. You had an amazing solo. On top, Maddie. You beat everybody else at the competition."

"We are all in the group dance, except Mackenzie

"We are all in the group dance, except Mackenzie. Mackenzie, you have a solo. Maddie, you will also be doing a solo. Brooke, you have a solo. You will be doing the Diary of Anne Frank. Chloe, you have been begging me for years for a duet with you and Paige. This is the week," Abby says. I hope Paige can dance because Chloe's been looking forward to this duet for so long! I really wanna see them do this duet!

Group Rehearsal

We start to learn the group and it's really cool.

Paige walks into the room with a boot on. Poor Paige!

Chloe and I run to hug Paige.

"We just got back from the orthopedic doctor. It's broken," Kelly says, "4 to 6 weeks she can't dance."

"No!" Abby says, "Four to six weeks?!"

"Yup," Kelly says.

Chloe and I walk back over to the rest of the group. Chloe is crying. I give her a hug.

"Chloe's crying," Paige says.

"You wanna know why Chloe's crying?" Abby asks, "Cause you got your duet this week."

I give Chloe another hug.

"Oh, Paige," Abby says.

"I don't wanna fight with you Kelly," Abby says, "But I think she should be in here with a notebook. She's part of the team, she should be here."

Paige starts to write in her notebook and we keep working on the dance. Brooke looks like she's in pain. I think her back is bothering her again.

Abby dismisses us to go to class.

Group Rehearsal

Kendall walks into the room.

"Hi Kendall!" Chloe and I say.

"Kendall," Abby says, "I'm looking for someone to replace Paige in the duet."

"Maddie is not auditioning because she has a solo this week," Abby says, "Let's have Chloe and Nia do it."

They do their routine.

"Nia," Abby says, "Something's are great. I don't think you look that great with her. It's a little off."

"Let's do it with Chloe and Eva," Abby says.
