Maci Ziegler

You've Been Unfriended

S3 E8

Last was... HORRIBLE. We lost to Candy Apples and I got second. I don't know how Abby is going to react.

We walked into the studio.

And we walked into the dancers den.

I hugged the girls and we started stretching and stuff and we were all talking about Christi and Chloe. I hope they are here this week.

Then Christi and Chloe walks in.

We run and hug Chloe.

" Where have you been? What have you been up to?" Jill asks Christi.

"Oh I don't know. We'll talk upstairs" Christi says.

"We missed you" I say to Chloe.

"I missed you guys too" Chloe says.

Then Abby walks in.

"No need to for applause. Let's go" Abby says.

We then all go into studio A.

"All right. You know, they told me that Detroit was a tough city. Well, it was. You weren't the big winners. You got beat. Third place. Cathy is a fake and a phony. She calls herself a choreographer? She's an embarrassment to my vocation" Abby says.

"And then we had a duet, but I can't really talk about it because it didn't happen. I pulled the duet. If your mother is out of control, you don't dance" Abby says.

"And Abby, that is fine. I do want it noted on your record that I was defending my daughter because you were being insensitive about her health issues. That's what my disagreement with you was" Holly says.

"So let's just say I'm not putting up with it anymore" Abby says.

" We've had a member of the team suspended. You all know what suspended is. It's like the last chance before dismissal. Let's move on to the pyramid".

"Chloe, obviously, you were not on the pyramid"

"On the bottom, Nia. You should have expected to be there"

"Paige kind of got thrown under the bus with the duet"

"Next we have Kendall. Now Kendall, you were given a solo. You didn't even make the top 10. Do I keep giving you a solo? No"

"Next, Mackenzie. I told you I wasn't going to put you in the groups anymore because you are the weak link. This time I thought you were excellent"

I smile for Kenzie.

"And moving up I have Maci"

Dang.

"You won all this season. But when Maddie stepped out on that stage you fumbled. I know you can beat Maddie you beat Maddie before and a bunch of other times. I've seen you be better than Maddie. You should've stayed focused and not psych yourself out. That's what a real professional would do" Abby says.

I nod.

"And moving next, Brooke. It was the first time you were officially on the team. I thought the parts that you did in the routine that were your solo spots were excellent" Abby says.

"Thank you" Brooke says.

" but I need you still to be more of a role model, understood?" Abby asks Brooke and Brooke nods.
