Kate was in shock. She hadn't seen this person in years, and she thought she'd never see them in the studio again.
"Michelle...", Kate said, still in shock, "what are you doing here? I thought your parents didn't want you anywhere near anything to do with dance ever again." Kate sort of joked, showing Michelle that she didn't need to be nervous.
Michelle chuckled as she walked further into the office and sat down across from Kate. "Well, I'm an adult now, and I have my own apartment, which means my parents don't exactly have any control over me anymore. So, I heard you were looking for a head choreographer, and I wanted to let you know that I'd really like the job. If you don't want to hire me, that's okay, but I wanted to let you know."
Kate smiled. This was perfect. "Well, I was just looking through all of my choices, but I think I just made my decision, welcome back Michelle." Kate then stood up and held out her hand for Michelle to shake, but Michelle got up and hugged her instead.
Once Michelle let go, she squealed and then said, "Oh thank you so so so SO much! You won't regret this Miss Kate!"
"I know I won't."

Richelle was walking to Studio B, since she knew she wasn't allowed in Studio A, and she also wanted to get to know Allison. As she walked in, she saw Allison taking a deep breath and getting her water bottle to drink from it. Richelle cursed inwardly, she had just missed seeing Allison dance.
"Hey Allison." Richelle said as Allison looked up from the floor and to her.
"Oh, hey Richelle. Is there something you wanted?" Allison asked with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, I was hoping to get to know you, but you weren't in Culture Shock, although your sister was..." Richelle trailed off, thinking about another reason she came up here.
"Oh no," started Allison, "what did she do?"
"It was nothing bad," Richelle reassured Allison, "just, embarrassing, and a bit awkward." At that, Allison looked more worried.
"I am so sorry. My sister's not very shy, and she tends to say whatever she's thinking most of the time. Which is very different to me, and my other sister, I guess." Allison shrugged and took another sip of her water bottle.
"Wait, you have another sister?" Before Allison could reply, Izzy walked in, greeted both girls, and then Noah walked in behind her, which made Richelle tense up. Cue awkwardness.
Noah then started backing out slowly, and then ran away.
"What was that?" Allison laughed, but then looked at Richelle, and then turned to Izzy, "Was this your doing?"
"I guess..." Izzy trailed off, which made Allison sigh. Richelle then muttered, 'dang it', and both sisters looked to her, confusion written all over their faces.
