Riley's POV Emily went home to eat lunch and right now Thalia is teaching some kind of weird dance move to the kids.
Everyone seems confused about how to do the move. Richelle is pretty much the only one doing it correctly. Thalia calls a 5 minute break and all of A Troupe comes into my office.
"Riley!" Noah says. "Please tell me that Thalia is not taking over as Head Choreographer!" Sophia adds. "You really want us to do this move?" Mason asks. "We want James back!" Piper whines. I try not to explode from laughter. "Guys!" I try to say but they can't hear me because they are all talking. "GUYS!" I yell. They all became silent. "Thalia is here just for today, because James isn't here." They sigh of relief. "Why isn't James here?" Piper asks. "Because I didn't want him to be here today." I told them. "Now, Richelle, Jake, go practice your solos. Mason and Sophia, Duet practice. Everyone else go rehearse the Semi-Final routine." After I was done giving directions they all scatter in different directions.
Two days later. I am at the airport picking up the boy from the American team. "You must be Riley!" A male voice said behind me. I turn around and look at him. He has blonde hair, blue eyes and looks like a dancer.
"Uh.. Yes I am." I answered him. "Cool I'm Joshua but you can call me Josh." "Hi Josh. Welcome to Canada!" I greeted him. "Thanks, I am so excited I got to come to The Next Step! It's the world's best studio!" he said excitedly. I giggled, "Thank you. You are staying with me and my husband James while you are here." "Ok cool." Josh says. "Let's go to the studio so you can meet everyone." I said. "Ok" He put his bags in my car and we were on our way to the studio.
"So, Are you excited for Internationals?" I asked. "Yes, It's my first time going." He said. I was a little anxious at first because I didn't want this to turn out like the Ella thing, but he seems really sweet.
"So tell me about yourself Miss Riley?" "Ok but nobody calls me Miss Riley, you can call me Riley. I have went to Internationals 2 times and I am married but we don't have any kids and both James and I work at the studio." I say. "Cool, I have been dancing since I was 6 and I have a twin sister named Juliet. We both dance at the same studio so I hope you get to meet her at Internationals." He says and smiles. "Me too." I smile back sweetly.
We arrive at the studio and the lights were off, which was strange. I turn the lights on and then everyone says Surprise!! Josh had a huge smile on his face. "Guys, This is Josh," he waved. Mason, Jake, Noah and North came over and started talking. I was glad that they were being friendly to him. This is going to be a great week.
James POV Riley is still upset with me and has been ignoring me so I decided to throw a party for this new kid to welcome him.
He seems really nice but I haven't been able to talk to him yet. All the girls are giggling and I walked by and I heard them talking about how cute he was. Typical A Troupe girls.
I walk over to Riley, who was sitting in her office. "Hey Ri." She looked up at me but didn't say a word. "What is this Josh fellow like?" I ask her. "Why don't you go talk to him?" She said still not looking at me. "Ok fine."
I left her office and walked over to the boys. "Hey, you must be James." Josh said. "Yea, that's me." "Your wife is super nice." He commented. "Yea maybe to you." I whispered. "So Josh, Tell me about yourself." "Well I have a twin sister and I have been dancing since I was 6 and my sister and I are on the same team so I was hoping you could meet her at internationals."
"Sure, Are you enjoying the party?" I ask. "Yea it's super fun, Everyone is so nice." I continue talking to Josh until it is time for the dancers to go home. Everyone helped clean up the party and then went home for the night.
Riley, Piper, Josh and I were the only ones left. Piper wanted to get to know Josh better so she is spending the night at our house. We drove home in two separate cars because ever since the reunion party, Riley has refused to be in the same car with me.
The girls are in Riley's car problay talking about something stupid. Josh and I are in my truck. I actually thought it was going to be a awful week but I am actually starting to favor the kid. He has some interesting stories.
We come home to find the girls were already home. I showed Josh around the house and his bedroom. We ate supper and then Piper and Josh were playing in the game room and Riley was in our office. I was just hanging out texting Eldon.
James: Josh is cool kid, you should meet him. Eldon: who's josh? James: the dancer from the American team. Eldon: oh, you sure he's not putting on an act? I don't want the whole Ella and Riley thing again. James: yea he has some awesome stories from traveling the United States. Eldon: ok Can Michele and I come over tomorrow so we can meet him? Eldon: I am sure Riley would love to see Michelle. James: Yea sure dude. See ya tomorrow Eldon: See ya dude
Piper and Josh are still hanging out and it's almost 9:00 pm. I knock on the office door but there was no answer. I open the door and see Riley asleep and her head is resting on the laptop. I stare at my sleeping wife.
She sure is beautiful when she's asleep. I thought. I went over to her and I bent down, "Riley?" "Sweetie?" She didn't stir. I picked her up bridal style and carried her up to our master bedroom and put her in her sleepwear and laid her in our bed and covered her with the comforter.
I loved her so much and I just wanted to hold her but if I wake her, she would refuse because she is still mad at me. I quietly shut the door and hear Piper and Josh laughing about something. "Hey, You guys should head to bed." I told them. "Alright James, Good night Piper." Josh said still laughing.
When he was gone I asked Piper what that was all about. "Nothing." She giggled and left to go up to her room. I sighed. I went into the master bedroom and I was actually going to sleep in my real bed tonight.
I had been sleeping in one of the guest rooms but Riley was asleep so she couldn't say no. I hopped in bed and I gently kissed Riley on her cheek and fell asleep. It was 6:30 when I woke up to the sound of the shower being used.
Riley's POV I was taking a shower when James woke up. I heard him getting ready. I got out of the shower and put on some black Capri leggings and a plum colored shirt with grey shoes. I put my hair up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Josh's POV Riley and James house is super nice. They are both super nice. I am excited that I can spend a week here but I wish I could stay more then a week.
Piper is cool and she said we could do a duet together, which I was excited for. I get dressed and walk downstairs to see Riley cooking breakfast.
Piper was sitting at the kitchen island tying her shoes. "Hey Piper." I say. "Hey, Good morning Josh. How did you sleep?" "Really well thanks." "Are you excited to go to dance today?" she asked. "Yea I am super excited." Riley handed us our breakfast and after we ate Riley cleaned up and drove to the studio. I haven't seen James all morning. I am wondering where he is.
