Michelle's pov:
I'm hoping to run through a few of the smaller dances today. The duet needs some work, and so does the small group.

Summer's solo also needs tweaking slightly, I just feel that she can do better than what she's giving us. She's an amazing dancer, and I'm sure with a few corrections, she'll make it to the top.

I'm planning on getting emily to take the small group to studio one whilst I work on the duet with jaquie and noah.

I'm not looking forward to it, but I want to be with the dance that needs the most work.

"Okay! Enough talking. It's time to listen!" I project my voice to everyone.

I look as each dancer gathers in front of emily and I, and very quickly, I realise that something is wrong.

I look over the dancers and furrow my brows as I see that richelle isn't here.

"Where's richelle?" I ask everyone.

"Has she called in sick?" I ask emily.

She shakes her head and shrugs, "she hasn't called me."

Richelle never misses rehearsal. No matter how important something is, she's always here. She's one of my star dancers at the moment, but if she wants to throw that down the drain, then she can be my guest.

"I'm sure she'll turn up." Emily shrugs it off.

I blow it off, continuing on with the dancers that are here, "Lily, can you fill in for small group until richelle shows?"  I decide to replace richelle for the day.

"Me!?" She squeals with excitement.

I roll my eyes at her excitement. She can be so pathetic sometimes, "Yes. You."

"Small group dancers go with emily." I say.

"Jaquie, noah, you stay here." I feel a slight smirk grow on my face.

"The rest of you have some free time for now. Off you go."

As everyone leaves the room, jaquie and I quickly make eye contact, "duet. Show me it." I tell them.

I turn on the music and watch as they begin to dance, I instantly want to throw up at the amount of chemistry they have.

I quickly begin making corrections and small tweaks to their dance, "jaquie, point your toes!"

"Noah, spacing!"

After seeing what I just saw, I stop the music before bringing myself back to the middle of the room. 

I sigh deeply, "That, was awful." I give them my honest opinion.

"You're all over the place!"

"We've got some serious work to do here."

...

After a few hours of work, I feel a lot better about the duet. This morning, it was just an awful mess. Now, we actually stand a chance at winning.

"Jaquie, you can go." I say.

"Noah, could I have a quick word with you?"

The smirk on my face grows as I watch jaquie leave.

"You wanted to see me?" Noah asks.

"Yes. Yes I did." I nod.

I pause for a moment before saying this, "Listen, how would you like to help me out with something...?"
