"Come on girls! Move it, move it, move it!" Abby yells as we run into the studio, "Congratulations! You won! Was it your best performance? Mmmm, no."

"Didn't we win by seven points?" Kelly asks.

"I'm not going to deny the fact that you won, that's great," Abby says, "but, I don't think it was your best performance. The routine had mistakes. Chloe, why would you go out onstage and not do the correct choreography? Everyone else did the choreography I gave them. It's getting to be a pattern with you."

"On the bottom, Paige. You were good, I'm waiting for you to be great. And next, Kendall. You didn't stick out to me. Next is Brooke. And next, Nia. You were third on the pyramid. You were third overall high score. And Mackenzie. Next, Maddie. You had a solo. You got second. And on top of the pyramid, Eva. You won your solo and you looked great," Abby says. I smile and Chloe gives me a side hug.

"Chloe, you are still not on the pyramid," Abby says, "You are lucky to be here as a dancer

"Chloe, you are still not on the pyramid," Abby says, "You are lucky to be here as a dancer. You can't go out on stage and do what you want."

"This weekend, we will be traveling to New Jersey," Abby says, "Everyone will be in the group dance, except Mackenzie. The music is entitled Your Dream Will Be My Dream. It's big, it's grand, and it's a beautiful piece of music. I'm going to be using a boy in the group. Kenzie, you are not in the group dance, that means you are getting a solo. It's called Love is War. Maddie, you will be doing another solo. It's called Lifeline. My next solo is going to Eva. Your routine is called Mr. Saxobeat. My last routine is going to Kendall and Nia. It's a duet and it's called Dig It."

Group Rehearsal

"Can I have my guest boy please?" Abby yells into the hallway.

Nick runs in. I love dancing with Nick.

"Nick!" We all scream and we run to hug him. Brooke gives him a hug.

"Ooh, there's a hug, hubba hubba," Abby says. We all laugh. 

"So, Nick, you are our male lead in this piece," Abby says, "Do you know who the female lead is?"

"No," Nick says, "Wait, Brooke?"

"It's Brooke," Abby says. I look at Brooke and she's blushing. I think she likes him.

"So you guys are dancing here and you're walking," Abby says to Brooke and Nick, "Now Maddie, Eva, pretend that Brooke is your mother and that you guys are sisters. Brooke is dying. Your mother is dying. You're walking and he is carrying her, she's so sick."

Brooke, Maddie, and I look at each other. This is a unique storyline.

"Brooke, you are on the inside of Maddie and Eva!" Abby yells.

I love this dance. It's so pretty and the storyline is growing on me. We finish learning the routine and I love it even more.

"Nick, I want you to do a duet with one of the girls. I wanna see who you look best with so do a lift with each of the girls," Abby says and Nick nods. He does a lift with each of us.
