The Next Step ~ Multinationals (Season 6.5)

A New Leader

Miss Kate POV
I'm back in the studio today and right now Noah came to speak to me. I hope it's nothing bad.

"Hey, how are you? How's Amanda?" Kate asked, She got up from her seat and stood closer to Noah. "I'm good, But Amanda is going Crazy about not being able to dance." he answered, "She'll be healed soon but what's up with you. You wanted to see me?" She smiled.

"Oh yeah, I've been thinking. I don't know if i want to be dance captain for Multinationals" he explained. "I don't want to be constantly busy and for it to rub off on Amanda" Kate was sad that Noah would be stepping down as the Captain. But his decision also reminded her of why she chose him for the job in the first place.

"Ok, thank you telling me - I'll announce it later in rehearsals that we need someone to step up" Kate said, she dismissed Noah from the office and got back to her work.

Miss Kate POV
Amanda is very lucky to Noah.

Juice Sploosh

Amanda POV
I'm waiting in the Juice bar near the studio because today is Noah's birthday and I've got a present for him - But I need to talk to James about it first.

"...and so that's the instructor?" Amanda asked, James was sat opposite her with Riley on the bar table with stalls. "Hmm Yup, don't worry I'll talk to my aunt Kathy and get her to give him a call" James got out his phone and called his aunt -

"Yes Jimmy?" Kathy's voice boomed down the phone line. "....Okay, I'll tell him goodbye!" His hung up the phone line. "She's going to call him now" He said. Noah came into the juice bar a few moments later. "Hey Amanda, I didn't know you where here?" Noah gave his girlfriend a kiss.

"Happy Birthday!" She yelled. "Dude it's your birthday?" James gasped. He nodded, "Happy birthday Noah" Riley Smiled, seemingly the only normal person on the table. "I have got you a birthday present - it's something you really need"

Amanda POV
Seriously, Noah is going to love it!

"Ta D" She held up a sheet of paper titled 'Driving lessons'. "Driving lessons?" he said, sounding a little confused. "You've always said you wanted to learn to drive, So now your old enough you can!" She explained. "Plus, your going with my aunt Kathy's husband who to taught me!" James added.

Riley POV
That instructor was crazy! I hope Noah is going to be Okay.

"You Know what Noah, I'll come with you as moral support" James offered, "Great! Let's go then"  Noah speedily walked out of the juice bar but only to be called back. "Noah, aren't you forgetting something?" Amanda asked rhetorically, holding up here crutches.

James POV
This is going to be a long day!

The Next Step Dance studio

Sophia POV
I'm in the studio, and I'm just reading the article over for myself a because I can't stop thinking about Who told Ella about the Choreography. Someone inside the studio is responsible, I want to find out who it is!

Ollie came into the studio a few minutes later, "Are you trying to figure out Who sent the text as well?" He asked, he saw the newspaper in her hand and it was the first thing that came to mind. He came and sat next to her and began to look at the paper too. "I can't believe, if Ella never got that text - we could have got that trophy" Sophia nodded, "But if we won do you think that we would have the opportunity to go to Multinationals?"

Sophia POV
We Lost Internationals, it's time to forget that and focus on Multinationals - If we win, The Next Step will go down in history because it's the First Competition. But I need to find out Who Ella got the text from.

"Well I Do have an idea, but I don't think that we should tell anyone else" Ollie said, "Okay then. What is it?" Sophia wondered. Ollie got up, "Come on I'll explain. But we need a laptop or Web cam"

Later in rehearsals, a lot of dancers were missing so it was hard to do any rehearsing for the up coming qualifier. "Hey, Afternoon guys!"  Kate came out of the office. "Giselle has filled me in about the qualifiers that are coming up, and I think it's great that we are going to first to find out our main competition!"

"Where is Ollie, Sophia, James and Noah?" Giselle asked, She looked at Riley for an explanation. "Um, Noah has got a driving lesson, James went with him and I don't know about the others" She answered. Kate nodded, "talking of Noah - he told me this morning he's stepping down as dance captain so I need to find someone to replace him ASAP!"

First to put up their hand was Rachel, and then Cierra followed up Amy. "Great. Obviously I'll ask again when the others get here to make it fair but I admire your dedication" She nodded.

Rachel POV
I want to make my mark, and if my dancing isn't the best. I can make up for it with my leadership skills.

Emily POV
When I see Rachel put her hand up, I'm shocked. I really don't agree with her being on the team. She's too knew to dancing to go to Regionals let alone Multinationals!

Eldon POV
I have nothing against Rachel, but I can't help but agree with Emily. But Who knows maybe she is the right person for the job but we'll have to see.

Riley POV
I don't think that I'd be a good dance captain, I couldn't even run the studio. But sometimes, I do wish I could have another shot at it.

"He was to vague! He said bear left when theirs loads of lefts!" Noah was complaining to James as the both entered the studio. "He said turn left so I turned left" Noah added. James rolled his eyes, "But that left was a canal!"

James POV
I don't think I will be going with Noah in a car again... Just no!

Riley noticed James was fairly quiet as they came over, "James. Are you okay?" Noah Spoke up, "hes been really quiet since I performed a U turn on the motorway and -" "Please, I'm still having flashbacks!" James yelled.

Riley POV
I better get my pop corn ready, something is telling me this is going to be an exciting story...

Next time - Another letter from the Multinational board arrives at the studio. Ollie and Sophia get a step closer to text sender.

A/n: Who should be the next dance captain? Comment below who you think it should be. James sounds scared. He must have had a scary ride in Noahs lesson...
