With You (Sasha Banks x Dean Ambrose)

197

"Tay! You here?" Callie asked as she answered the phone call from her big sister. Taylor was coming into rehearsal as she was on fall break from college. Callie wanted to do something specific in the trio with her, Bryton, and Jacob. So, no one better than her big sister to call and ask.

"Yep! I have Asher and Jax helping me with the mat now and we'll be up!" Taylor replied as Callie thanked her and hopped off the phone.

Taylor came into the rehearsal room with Asher and Jax helping her with the tumbling mat. They got it down and left for their own rehearsals so the three could get to work with Taylor. She was mostly helping Callie, but would help with any other flips if needed. Callie was grateful that her sister was here to help with a crucial number.

"Okay, let's start this off. Give me a front punch round off cartwheel." Taylor said as she and Callie discussed what she could try or couldn't try for this tumbling pass. Callie did what Taylor said as she nodded, knowing Callie did good.

"Add on a back handspring and a whip." Taylor said as in cheer terms, a whip was a straight backflip and landed on her feet. Callie did that and did it well.

"Perfect! You're a little tumbler now." She laughed as Callie added on a full at the end, making it a complete tumbling pass.

"I don't know how you do this every day." Callie laughed after they got some water.

"And I don't know how you do pirouettes every day." Taylor replied, messing with her little sister. They got a lunch break as the two sisters went out for some girl time while everyone else did their own thing. Taylor also wanted to check on her sister as she's been dealing with some post-weaning anxiety.

"Do you need anything? Are you doing okay?" Taylor asked while they began eating their lunch.

"I'm doing okay, every day's been something different. Dancing has been a nice distraction though. Thank you for checking, Tay. I really appreciate it." Callie smiled as she looked up at her big sister.

"I'm always here, Cal." She reassured her as the two sisters enjoyed their lunch and time together before heading back to the studio.

Monday rolled around as it was week nine of the competition, meaning they only had five weeks to go. They were more than halfway through, getting closer and closer to the finale. Jacob and Bryton wanted to make it all the way to the finale as everyone supported them. It would definitely be an interesting situation if Jacob and Bryton made it to the final two come the finale in five weeks.

Callie had four routines to do. Bryton and Jacob just had the one trio with Callie. Callie and Asher were kicking off the show with a rumba to Taylor Swift's song August. Callie also had a jazz ballroom duet with Mark to Judas by Lady Gaga. She had a hip hop duet with Claire to 2 On by Tinashe. Lastly to close the show, it was Callie, Bryton, and Jacob's hip hop trio. It was to the song Stir Fry by Migos. It was definitely going to be an action packed night, but they were prepared for it all.

Callie and Asher kicked off the show with their rumba, dancing beautifully together. They've always been best friends but were beautiful to watch together. Their rumba was perfect as the two hugged once it was done.

"Great job, you two!" Mercedes grinned while Asher's mom was standing next to her, the two moms applauding the best friends.

"Now that's how you do a rumba!" The hostess grinned as the two exited the stage.

Callie and Mark did their dance well. They were very energetic and spunky, working off each other well. Callie and Claire had a lot of fun with their duet as well. After both routines, Callie rushed to the back as Bryton was going to help her get ready while Jacob grabbed her outfit.
