Dedicated to @-micheldon for her support.... Again! This one's for you!

On with the story...

Summary: An injury brings them closer

~~~~~~~~~

"Everyone, I have something to tell you. It's quite serious," Miss Kate said, causing everyone to look at her with anxiety.

The music instantly halted as all the dancers stopped what they were doing – Miss Kate was barely ever this serious, so something really important must have happened.

They had been practising for a local competition, and they needed everything to be calm, but somehow, drama always seemed to find the group.

"What has happened Miss Kate?" Michelle asked. As the dance captain, she needed to know what was going on, all the time.

"Eldon has had a small wrist fracture. And although this may seem minor, he will be out for the competition and the next few weeks. Luckily, he will be returning for regionals, but he really damaged it," Kate said, clearly stressed. It would be hard to find a replacement and teach them everything in time.

Chatter broke out amongst the dancers, all in panic, wondering what they were going to do.

Michelle just stood near the front of the group, in silence. Recently, she and Eldon had been getting quite close, and so something like this really shocked her, especially if since he didn't tell her.

"When did this happen?" Michelle asked, halting all conversation.

"It happened yesterday. I know you were all curious as to why Eldon wasn't here this morning, and so was I, so I called his mother, and she explained," Kate replied.

She quickly added, "Guys I know this is a stressful situation, but we need to still concentrate and get our routine done. This competition is very important to ensure that our regionals place is secured. Eldon is a very key member of our team, but we will just have to go on without him."

There were a few moments of silence, as everyone realised they would have to compete without Eldon. This was a shock, because Eldon was one of the most dedicated dancers, and one of the longest students at The Next Step.

He had never missed anything when it came to A-Troupe – especially a competition.

It was almost unheard of.

"Look guys, this is a tough situation, but here's what we're going to do. We'll keep practising our routine, perfect it, and tomorrow we'll hold auditions from B-Troupe to see who will be the replacement. And, don't forget to send Eldon a get well message, as he's probably sad he can't compete with us," Michelle spoke up. Everyone agreed with her plan – after all Michelle was renowned for her excellent quick thinking and strategies. That's why she was dance captain.

So, they continued on practising the routine. But Michelle was extremely distracted the whole time. The whole team could tell, but they decided against calling her out on it, because she was the dance captain, and also because they knew about her and Eldon. Curtesy of James, of course.

Although it seemed like forever, practise was finally over. Michelle had never left The Next Step studio so fast.

The other dancers seemed to understand, as they were bowled over, as Michelle raced down the corridors.
