As Allison walked into Culture Shock the next day before rehearsals started, someone walked up to her and hugged her from behind. She turned around to see her younger sister, Isabelle, or 'Izzy' as she likes to be called. Allison hugged her back and then asked her, "Hey? What are you doing here?"
"Did I forget to tell you?" Asked Izzy. At Allison's look of confusion, she continued, "I got into Junior A Troupe. Rehearsals start today." Allison grinned and then hugged her sister again.
"You did?! That's awesome! I'm so proud of you!"
''I'm really happy with my team!'' Allison smiles at her sister and thinks about her own team. She was so happy that she got in, and she was very excited to start rehearsals. The only downside was that she had to be on the same troupe as Jordan. Whatever, she just has to suck it up, and ignore him.
"That's great. I've actually got to go to rehearsals, so I'll see you later?" Asked Allison. Izzy nodded as Allison walked off.

"Okay, A Troupe! First, I wanted to congratulate you all on making the team, you guys are the best of the dancers who auditioned, so you should be pretty happy with yourselves." Miss Kate said as everyone else in the room smiled.
"Now, the next job is to figure out who will be dance captain this year. If you want to be captain, please step forward." At the end of Miss Kate's sentence, only April stepped forward.
"No one else wants to be captain? Last call." Noah glanced at Richelle as April glanced at Allison, but still, no one else stepped forward.
"Okay, congratulations April on getting dance captain again. Okay, so now on to another subject, I've had resumes from older dancers from all over the country been sent in for Head Choreographer, and I'll decide who it'll be by the end of the day, I just wanted let you guys know. And until I decide, you guys don't need to be in the studio. So, go to Culture Shock or somewhere, just don't be in Studio A since I'll be here, trying to make a decision." Everyone nodded and started packing up their stuff as Noah walked over to Richelle.
"Richelle," Richelle looked up from her bag to see Noah, "why didn't you step forward to try out for dance captain?" Richelle sighed as they both walked out of Studio A, she knew this was coming.
"I told you last year, but I'll tell you again, my one year of being dance captain was great, but I wanted someone else to have a turn. Now, can we please go to Culture Shock and talk about something else?"

As Allison dumped her dance bag on the floor in Studio B, she looked around. She was one of the new A Troupers in The Next Step, so if she wanted to get along with people in the troupe, she should be in Culture Shock, but she also wanted to make sure her dancing was up to scratch, so she wanted to rehearse in Studio B for a bit.
She got her phone out and put in the docking station, and pressed play. Allison started dancing straight away as the music started and Control started playing.
As she danced, she smiled to herself. She was scared when she first moved here with Izzy and her parents. It was a whole new town to get used to.
As she continued dancing, she became more confident. Maybe moving wouldn't be so bad after all. Maybe something good would come out of it.

"We were so little, it was crazy." Richelle said as Noah, April and Jordan laughed. They were all sitting in Culture Shock since they didn't have any plans.
"Hey, April?" April looked over at Richelle and raised her eyebrows in question. "Where's Allison? I was hoping she'd be around so I could get to know her."
Jordan sighed as he said, "Does it really matter? She's new."
Richelle looked at him with her eyes narrowed. "Yeah, and that's why I want to get to know her. She seems really nice, what's your problem with her anyway?"
April sat up and said, "She said something about wanting to practice her dancing in Studio B, she might come down here for a break soon. Also, I'd love to know that too, Jordan."
Before Jordan could say anything, someone came up behind them and tapped April on the back. April turned around and grinned when she saw who it was.
"Izzy?! Long time no see! How are you?" April asked Izzy.
"I'm good, I auditioned for Junior A Troupe here yesterday and I got in, so I'm pretty happy with myself. How are you?" Asked Izzy, smiling.
"I'm good!" April said as Richelle cleared her throat. April turned to look at them and then turned back to Izzy. "Oh, guys, this is Allison's little sister, Isabelle, but she is mostly called Izzy. Izzy, this is my boyfriend Jordan, and my friends Noah and Richelle." April then moved over and patted the seat next to her. "Come sit with us."
Izzy not one to be shy, sat down next to April and waved at everyone, grinning. "Hi!" Everyone else said hi back, and then Richelle spoke up.
"So, Izzy, Allison said you guys are from Madison, Wisconsin?" When Izzy nodded, Richelle continued, "That's cool! We've had two other dancers besides from April come from Madison, Wisconsin before and they were great."
Noah then butted in, saying, "Even though they did cause a lot of drama."
Richelle then shrugged, and said, "I think every dancer has caused a little bit of drama."
"Not in the last four years." Noah argued.
"Eh, that's debatable." This whole time, Izzy had just been watching the two with a smile on her face.
"You guys are so cute." Said Izzy, "how long have you guys been dating?"
"Us?"
"Nuh-uh."
"No way."
"We're not- he's not.."
"We've never..."
"We're just really good friends." They both said at the same time after denying it. Izzy just nodded.
"That's a shame, you guys would be really cute together." At that, Noah and Richelle both blushed and didn't say a word, and April and Jordan were trying to hide their laughter.

Kate sighed and put her head in her hands. It was nearing the end of the day and she still hadn't decided on a head choreographer. She didn't know why, but none of these resumes were good enough!
As she grabbed the pile of resumes to go through them once again, she heard a knock on the door of her office. When she looked up, she couldn't believe who it was.
