The Next Step. (A Dance Moms Fanfiction) *Finished*

Chapter 6. "Nationals"

Kendall's P.O.V

The girls and I walk into the studio for Pyramid.

"GIRLS! LET'S GO! CHOP CHOP CHOP!" Miss Abby yells at us was we walk in the studio slowly.

"Well. Last weekend's competition was really good! We beat everyone there with the routines we performed." We all clap and smile at each other.

"This weekend we are going to New York City for Nationals. So, you guys better be perpared. Because, you all have solos for Nationals. Including you Kendall."

I smile and look at my mom. My mom looks at Abby surprised and smiles.

Abby's P.O.V

"This week, we do not have a group dance. We just have solos."

"Maddie, You solo is lyrical. Your doing Cry."

"Brooke, Your doing an acro dance called Diary of Ann Frank."

"Mackenzie, Your doing Lemonade."

"Nia, Your doing your La Queifa routine. So, you'll need that afro again."

"Chloe, Your doing a lyrical-compemtary routine called starlight"

"And, Kendall, Your doing a Jazz routine called Sazzy"

"Girls, let's stretch and warm up. Maddie, Since you know your solo already, you can watch the other girls do their routines... So, Brooke, your up first for you solo."

Paige's P.O.V

As I watch my sister dance, she looks over at Abby.

"Brooke, You need to get it together before saturday! You're a mess and this is not the time to be messing up on a routine... This weekend is nationals. You need to win for your solo... You can leave now.. Go and get Nia and Mackenzie for me please."

I watch Brooke walk out and then follow behind her.

"R U Okay?"

"No. I don't want to dance anymore. Miss Abby is too hard on me. Only because I'm the oldest in this group. But, We have the guys. Nick and Brandon. I don't get it. We also have Payton. So, why doesn't she get a solo and get Miss Abby to yell at her while she's trying her hardest to make this routine good? Huh? I hate having dance with Miss Abby. I think I'm going to tell mom to pull my solo.." She says walking upstairs.

"NOO! Brooke, Please don't pull your solo... I love your solo. Win for the team. not Miss Abby. Please?" I look at her begging.

"Why should I Paige?"

"Because the team needs you and not Payton. Not Brandon or Nick... We need you more than we need them. Plus, Miss Abby says that if you win, you can take a break off of Dance for 2 weeks. Mommy talked to her about it yesterday."

"Really? Did mom really talk to Abby about me having a vacation after Nationals?"\

I nod. "Yeah... I wasn't supposed to tell you untill After the Competition but, since you know now, You're sure to win you divison!"

She smiles and hugs me.

"Thanks Sis."

"Welcome.. That's what sisters' are for."

---------------- At Nationals-----------

Brooke's P.O.V

I'm waiting backstage to do my solo. Maddie, Chloe, Paige, Nia and Kendall went just before Mackenzie. Mackenzie is finishing up her routine right now. She skips off stage and runs over to me.

"Good Luck Brookie... Brandon's in the Audience watching.... I think he came to say hi to you...Just be carefull and Call me so that the girls and I can give him a piece of our minds!"

I laugh. "Aww. Thanks Kenzie."

"Welcome!" She says, skipping off into the green room.

I wait for my name to be called then I walk on stage and perform all I got in me for tricks.

After two minutes and thirty seconds of me performing, I walk off stage and into the green room.

"WOOOOOHOOOOOOO! Good Job Girls! You should be proud of yourselfs! Even you Brooke! You guys should be proud!" Miss Abby says smiling at all of us.

"Let's go get ready for awards!" And with that, We walk off to the Audience and stage to get awards.

"ALRIGHT ALRIGHT! Time forrrrrrr..... AWARDS!" The Annoucer says and the crowd goes wild. I'm sitting on stage, looking at Brandon and he's smiling at me. I be nice and smile back.

"First, Let's annouce the Mini solo awards." He says then looks down at his sheet.

"In Second place we have Mackenzie with... Lemonade!" Mackenzie stands up, gets her award, says the company's name then sits down.

"Let's get onto our Miss Junior Soloist awards!"

"In Second place, We have Maddie with... Cry!"

"In First place, We have Chloe with...... Starlight!"

They get up, accept their awards and then sit down.

Now its my turn to wait, Hoping that I get first place in my divison. But, Knowing that if I get first place, I'll probally have to keep dancing for atleast two more weeks. So much for a vaca.

"Now, We're going to annouce the Teen Soloist Awards."

"In Third place we have Brooke with... Diary of Ann Frank!" I shrug to myself and stand up to get my award. I smile and say my dance company's name into the mircophone.

"ABBY LEE DANCE COMPANY!" I say into the mircophone. He smiles and congradulates me on my award. The girls and I walk back to the green room.

"Good Job Girls! See you in Pittsburg on Monday!" Miss Abby says walking out.
