RILEY'S POV

"Um, everyone. Go take a break." I walk over to my bag and sigh. I'm so used to A-Troupe, I had no clue what to do with J-Troupe, which is funny because I was once one of these kids. I grab my phone and click on James' contact.

"Hey Babe, I was just about to call you. The band in reuniting for one last album with-" I interrupt, grinning yet silently sighing.

"That's great babe, I would love to hear all about it, but I need your help right now." James laughs from the other end.

"Sure, what's up?"

"Piper and Cierra are with A-Troupe and I'm clueless about J-Troupe," I stress, biting my lip. I hear James give a knowing chuckle.

"Why don't you call and ask Skylar and Alfie?" I think for a bit.

"Thanks Jay, that's a lot of help." I could imagine James goofily grinning.

"Don't even worry about it, Babe, you can thank me later. I have to go, but I love you." I feel a smile grow on my face as my heart flutters.

"I love you too, Jay. Bye." I hang up and call Skylar.

"Hello?"

"Hey Sky."

"Riley! It's been ages!" I giggle childishly.

"I saw you last week!"

"That's simply too long. What's up?" She asks.

"Besides Studio C's ceiling, I need your help. It's J-Troupe. I have no idea what to do with them and-" Skylar laughs.

"Don't worry, Alf and I will be there soon."

"Thanks Sky, see you soon." I walk back to J-Troupe. "Okay, guys. Some special guests will be arriving soon. You guys can get a drink from Joelle's for now, it's on me." The J-Troupe girls thank me politely as the boys whoop, running out of the Studio. I smile, remembering my time as a J-Trouper. They must think I'm so pathetic. My eyes trail to the dance floor and I eagerly kick my shoes off, tying my hair up and turning the stereo on. Those were truly the days. I dance, ignoring the dull aching from not dancing in a while. I felt so free, like I was on A-Troupe again with Miss Kate, Chris and all of my friends. The necklace that Richelle and Becca gave me from all those years ago jingles as I spin. I remember all those times with my best friends, my dance as well as the love of my life-

"James!" My squealing laughter interrupts my train of thought as lifts me up before dipping me.

"Just as graceful, confident and beautiful as you always were, Riles." James spins me and brushes a piece of hair behind my ear, grinning like he did when I said yes to being his.

"I was just thinking about you, Jay." I blush as he lifts me again, spinning me in the air like the Brighter Brightest music video.

"Can't help falling for me, Princess?" I nod feverishly as we continue to dance.

"You've caught my heart and I'd leave, but it doesn't look like you're giving it back anytime soon." James wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me closer.
