"Good morning everyone, I have some news" Kate announced, everyone gathered around in clump to hear the news. "Noah has stepped down as dance captain and I need to find a replacement ASAP!" She explained. "The dance Captain is a job that requires a good sense of team work and leadership" Giselle added, "So we expect some candidates by the end of the day"
Giselle POV
It's not long ago since i was dance captain, I hope that the right person steps forward to lead the team.
"Also, I got another letter from the Multinational board and it says that Multinationals is being held in.... Denmark!" Kate announced, the team cheered and clapped. "England, Italy, Iceland and Portugal!" Kate announced. "5 Countries?" Sophia asked, taking the information in.
Miss Kate POV
Yup, the Multinational board has decreed that the competition is going to be held at different times in different countries? I don't know how that could possibly work!
Eldon POV
I really like the way Multinationals is set out. We're going to see so many different. I wish Thaila was here, we are still dating but we've kinda drifted.
"And Finally, they have given us the first two rounds that we have to prepare for! So...
Riley POV
There is a total of 480 teams going and by the end of first round which we learnt was a group dance, 400 teams will get sent home! There is also a second group dance where only the top 40 teams will go through but we don't know what they are yet.
Rachel POV
There is a public vote for the first two rounds so we have to come out on top!
"Well, that's the all the notices for today so let's get working in our qualifier routines. A troupe still didn't know what the criteria of the qualifier was. So far, Sophia had Choreographed a Solo as she was Miss international Soloist with Emily as back up as she was Miss National soloist. Kate decided that she would put Eldon in for the male Solo with Noah as his back up.
Miss Kate POV
We really don't know what we have to do at the qualifier, we are trying to perfect as many routines as we can! They can throw anything at us - at any time!
The Next Step - The Lounge
Ollie POV
I've come into the lounge because Sophia and I are investigating who sent Ella. Our plan may be a little risky and i dont really want to tell anyone else just yet. I hope we can get to the bottom of this!
"... I've got my laptop, What do you need it for again?" Sophia asked, putting her Welsh flag decorated laptop down on the table. "I think I found Ella on Facebook, My account won't let me accept her as a friend" Ollie explained. "So i figured we could try on yours?"
Ollie POV
Basically our plan is to talk to Ella on video call and get her to tell us who sent her the text. Internationals is over, she won so now she can tell us who sent the text. We have a right to know.
After Ollie and Sophia logged onto Facebook and added Ella's account, She strangely added them back immediately. "Well, she's added us back" She said, "She's typing, Look!" Ollie gasped, he clicked on the web cam button and her face came up on screen. It was time for the truth.
Ella - Hello Ollie and Sophia, this is a surprise I have to say. What do you want? What's Multinationals like?
She was seemingly being really nice, it was a very different side to what they saw of her at internationals.
Ollie - Um, Yeah it's great. But we don't have time for small talk - You spoke to a newspaper about us. Who sent you the text? The one you got at internationals?
Ella - Why does it matter? You cheated and we won! Deal with it.
Sophia - But we didn't know about the rule. Neither did Carmine. And it matters because we have a right to know who went against the studio!
Ella - No, Sophia. You did cheat, even if you didn't know it. But if you're looking for the girl that sent the text. You need to look a lot closer to home. I didn't get the name I just got the number. Call it for yourself.
The screen went blank, Ella had gone offline and left Sophia and Ollie alone. He closed the lid of the laptop down, "Well. We've got the number at least" He commented. Sophia nodded, "I'm going to call her now" The dancer from England got out her phone and began typing but was stopped suddenly by Ollie. "No, not yet. We need to get more evidence first. Look for clues, Who would have the motivation to make A troupe loose?" Ollie wondered.
"Well we should go to rehearsals, Kate will question where we are" Sophia suggested. He nodded, they both left and headed back to the studio. They were one step closer finding out who cost them the international title!
The Next Step - Studio A
"Alright, Your time is up. We need a new dance captain - Who's going to step up and lead the team to Multinationals?" Kate asked, looking around at everyone in the studio. At first, no hands rose up but after a few moments. Hands popped up and from the most unexpected people. "Rachel?" Kate asked, shocked.
Rachel POV
I want to be dance captain! I'm new to this. Which is why it will give me and edge.
No hands went up after that, it was clear that Rachel was the dance captain. "Well then, Congratulations Rachel you're the new dance captain of A troupe!" Kate apluaded. However, Emily stood in a state of shock. It was clear that she wasn't okay with this...
Emily POV
I can't believe miss Kate let Rachel become the dance captain! I mean, sure I don't want to be dance captain but I how can she be the right person to lead us to multinationals? It does not sit well with me.
"You know what, let's go to the juice bar. Drinks are on me tonight!" She smiled and began to walk happily toward the exit. "No, We're busy tonight right guys?" She looked at James and Riley and nodded subtly. "Um, yeah... Actually we are" Riley said. Rachel's face dropped, "Okay...well another time maybe?"
"Yeah, Okay do you guys want to go to the juice bar? Drinks are on me!" Emily said, turning the Eldon and some others. They nodded, all except Rachel. Why didt they invite her? "Let's go!" She suggested, all walking out excitedly.
Rachel POV
I am a little confused right now, I offer to to go the juice bar and they say no but then they all go without me? What's that all about?
Next time - A troupe heads to watch the first qualifier, Is the Texter about to be exposed?
A/n: So what do you think? Rachel is the new dance captain. Who is this mysterious Texter? Vote and comment if you enjoyed. Thanks
