Alessia's pov
"Home sweet home!" Jill exclaims as we all step out of our cars. The girls and I make our way inside while our moms trail behind us

"Hello, girls" Abby greets when we walk in

"Hi" we wave as we make our way into the dancers den

"This is crazy. I can't believe this is our last week in Pittsburgh" I sigh, as I take off my jacket

"I know. I mean, we've been here since we were little, and now we're moving to LA" Maddie agrees

We then start to take off our other outer layers. I sit against the bench in my black booty shorts and tight, black spaghetti strap tank top

"Girls, did you know we have visitors this weekend?" Kira asks, as Maddie finishes with my bun

"Don't even say it" Kalani shakes her head, already knowing

"The Rotten Apples" Kira finishes

"Oh, please. So who else is coming?" Melissa asks

"Ava and her team" Jess answers

"Why would Ava and her mother come?" Jill questions

"I got a tweet they were coming and Candy Apples was coming" Jess responds

"They're coming here, to our backyard, to beat you guys." Jill tells us and we nod as we continue talking about it. Soon, we walk into studio A for pyramid

"I want to start off by saying that I had a pretty good time in Los Angeles. And I think, probably, the highlight of my trip was seeing my two students perform at the Grammys" Abby smiles over to Maddie and I as everyone else claps

"Can I just say, what I was excited about, is when both Ale and Maddie started dancing, the crowd was screaming both their names" Melissa smiles

"They both got more applause than Madonna" Abby points out. "It's amazing- is there anything else you'd like to tell the kids?"

"We got to meet a lot of amazing celebrities and they would just like come up to me and start talking to me." I begin

"Yeah, and it was really funny. I was walking in the hallways and when I didn't have the wig on, celebrities weren't really coming up to me. But then when I had the wig on, everyone was like, "Oh my God, oh my God". So I have like two sides to me. Like when I put the blonde wig on, I'm like a different person" Maddie shares and we laugh

"Speaking of milestones, we're going to have- actually, Evan is planning to do something for Nia's video. We're going to have a premiering this Saturday in between classes and the competition downtown. So I just want to throw it out there. Everyone, if you can make it" Holly informs us and I smile because I'm so happy for Nia

"It's Valentine's Day, isn't it?" Melissa asks

"It is" Holly nods

"Sorry. I can't come. I'm going to dinner with my husband. I'm sorry." Melissa apologizes

"It's daytime" Holly clarifies

"Oh, daytime. I can go then." Melissa says

"It's in between the classes and competition" Holly tells her before Abby begins talking again

"The moment is here. Before we go to LA, we are going to Australia." Abby informs us and we cheer

"Yes. Yes. I will be teaching a master class along with Gianna and we will be performing an entire showcase, just the Abby Lee Dance Company. So, with all that said, let's get to the pyramid"

"Bottom of the pyramid, is Kendall. You're not here because you didn't do that solo perfectly, you know. I'm moving on"

"Next, Mackenzie. You did not perform with the group. Moving on."
