~You talk of the pain like it's all alright, but I know that you feel like a piece of you's dead inside~
Eva Carter, a young girl with a passion for dance, auditions for the reality TV show 'Dance Moms' and makes it on. Will she win or will she lose?
"This week, I'm excited. I have an open audition. I'm looking for the next big thing," She says, "I get more headshots and resumes, and mail with questions on how to become a member of the ALDC. Who am I replacing? What do I need them to do? Are they available?"
"We will be traveling to Orlando, Florida. Melissa, can I have Maddie and Mackenzie go early with me to Florida and help at the audition?" Abby asks.
"Yeah," Melissa says.
"You guys wanna do that?" Abby asks. Maddie and Kenzie nod.
Then, Leslie and Abby start fighting.
Same old, same old...
"On the bottom of the pyramid, Payton. You knew that was coming," Abby says, "Next, Kendall. You were given the opportunity of a lifetime. Top five? I'm looking for number one. Next, I have Nia. You are just another number. I'm still seeing technical issues. Next, Paige. Same thing. Nice job in the group routine and your mother didn't cause anything. Finally on the bottom row, Mackenzie. I almost pulled you out of the number."
"Moving up, Brooke. Why does it have to be all the singing or all the dancing? Why can't it be both? Next, Chloe. You were supposed to dance first, Kendall danced first. You got lucky. Next, Eva. You won. You proved that you can be my number two girl along with Chloe. But number one is always on top which is why, on the top of the pyramid, I have Maddie. You were amazing in the Just Another Number dance. It was good," Abby says.

"This week, we're doing a group routine. The music is called Losing You, so I might be losing one of you. I have three soloists. The first one is going to Maddie. You're doing a piece entitled Down My Spine. Mackenzie, you're doing my next solo. It's called Take it to Go. You will not be in the group routine. Finally, I have a trio. It's entitled See No Evil, Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil."
Kelly, Mom, and Christi look at each other and laugh.
"Brooke, you're gonna be the lead. Chloe, Paige, you are her backup dancers," Abby says.
I wish I was in that trio... _____________ Group Rehearsal
Abby will not stop talking about her open call audition and it's driving me insane!
We start to learn the dance and it is really pretty.
"Stop. Nia, you're in the front. No sickled feet!" Abby yells.
We keep dancing.
"You're gonna be on the plane, we can't rehearse on the plane!" Abby yells.
We finish the dance and run it again.
"I'm leaving early to get to Orlando so I can have the audition. You're out of here, I need my trio in here," Abby says. ____________ Competition Day
We arrive at the competition and walk into the dressing room.
"Are you sure that Jill's landed?" Christi asks, "Is she coming?"
"No, she hasn't texted me back. I told her I'm freaking out," Mom says.
"If the group was on first, I would be livid right now," Abby says.
Then, Kendall and Jill walk in.
"How nice of you to join us," Christi says.
"I had Ryleigh's event," Jill says.
"Oh I love those!" Kelly says as Chloe, Paige, and Brooke come out from behind the curtain.
Christi, Kelly, and Mom start to adjust their costumes.
"If you think you're being big," Kelly says, "You gotta be three times bigger. Especially you Miss Brooke."
"Brooke, make sure you lip sync," Mom says and Brooke nod.
"If you don't know the words, just sit there and say watermelon," Christi says.
"Good luck my little pin up girls," Melissa says.
We head backstage for the solos and the trio.
It's Maddie's turn first. She does amazing and looks beautiful!
"Good job Mads," I say as I hug her.
Kenzie is up next and she looks adorable onstage. I give her a giant hug when she comes off.
"You were such a cute little waitress," I say.
Now, it's time for the trio.
"Next up, Entry number 20, Brooke, Paige, and Chloe with Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil!"
They do really good! Brooke did a good job lip syncing all the words!
I hug them when they come offstage.
We get ready for the group and then we go backstage. Payton falls and Brooke and Gia and Layla go get the moms.
"What happened?" Leslie says, "You tripped over? What did you trip over?"
"Kendall's foot," Payton cries.
No she didn't... she was messing around and fell. She's lying and trying to blame Kendall.
"Tell me now," Abby says, "Pain on one to ten."
"Nine," Payton says.
Poor Payton...
She's lying... but I feel bad...
"I heard it crack," Payton says.
We go and start revoking the number without Payton. The EMTs come get Payton and she leaves with her mom.
We go backstage to get ready to perform. I'm super nervous because we just reblocked it...
"Guys listen," Chloe says, "We have to dance for Payton but we also have to dance for us and prove to Miss Abby that we can be professionals."
"Yeah," I say, "We're gonna be amazing and we're gonna nail it."
"Let's win," Maddie says. We all nod and do a group hug.
"Please welcome entry 68, Smells Like Team Spirit!"
We walk on. I make sure I nail everything and that I'm perfect. One because I don't want to be replaced and two because I want to show Miss Abby I can be a professional. I think we nail everything. We danced great today! ____________ Awards
Maddie gets first in her category and so does Kenzie, so yay for them!
The trio gets second. I thought they danced good enough for first...
"Moving into our elite junior groups. Second place, Sunday from Studio 5D!"
"First place junior small group, Smells Like Team Spirit!"
I hug Brooke and we go get our award.
We go back to the dressing room.
"So, I think Maddie and Mackenzie are safe," Abby says.
Yeah.. that's fair.. I won two weeks in a row and I'm still on the chopping block...
"Has anyone heard from Leslie?" Christi asks.
"I did, she sent me a text and I asked how's Payton and she just said good," Mom says.
