"Come on girls! Let's go, let's go, let's go!" Abby yells and we run into the studio. There's still no Kelly, Brooke, or Paige, but Payton's here again.

"Let's think about our victory, shall we?" Abby says, "You did a group routine and that group routine was outstanding. Payton, what you bring to the team is that you want to be here. Were we missing two team members? Yes, Brooke and Paige. They don't want to be here."

I look at Chloe.

"On the bottom, we have Brooke. No apology, no text? And I know she has her phone with her. And that leads me to Paige. If Paige wanted to dance, Paige would've come to dance class. Moving on, Payton. In the dressing room at the competition, I heard a little smart mouth," Abby says.

"She wasn't being smart, she was telling you her name," Leslie says.

"I know her name," Abby says.

"Then call her Payton," Leslie says, "Not Kendall, not Eva, not Brooke. Payton."

"How about I call her replaceable?" Abby says.

"Next, I have Asia. You finally did the choreography you were given. You pulled focus, but I think whatever you do in the future, you need to do both. Next, Mackenzie. You also did a good job in the group," Abby says.

"I'm floored that Kenzie is above Asia," Kristie says, "Because that is not Asia's style."

"That was not Kenzie's style either though," Mom says.

"I don't see why Kenzie's above her," Kristie says.

"They're on the same row," Abby says.

"But it doesn't matter, it doesn't make a difference," Kristie says.

"Well, Mackenzie got on the prop, she had to jump off the prop, she did the chin stand on the prop and she did an aerial off the prop," Abby says.

"Moving up, Eva. You missed two days of rehearsal last week to be in a music video. You had a duet that won and I thought you looked quite well in your duet and in the group. Next, Chloe. You did well in the group dance and you also did well in your trio. Sometimes you win the battle, but you lose the war. Next I have Maddie. You do everything right. But if you're always winning, you're gonna quit working. Next, I have Kendall. You did a trio, the group dance, and a duet. I thought you looked great in the duet. You were only slightly overshined by Eva, but that's not surprising because she's our hip hop superstar."

"On top of the pyramid, Nia! Nia is the only child that came to me at the conclusion of the competition and said what can I do better? So Nia, congratulations!" Abby says.

I give Nia a giant hug

I give Nia a giant hug. She deserved this!

"I have good news. This week the competition is in Orlando, Florida!" Abby says. We all cheer! I love Florida! It's where my best friends outside of dance lives and hopefully, I'll get to see her!
