"I'll do it Miss Kate," Izzy volunteers, and Eldon instantly pales. He's starting to get the feeling that Izzy isn't his biggest fan.
"Okay Izzy, but you'll need someone from A Troupe to supervise." Izzy's about to argue, but then Kate says, "Jordan? How do you feel about supervising?", and then Izzy realises that if Jordan helps her, then it would be the perfect time to hint some things to him about one of the girls in A Troupe.
"Sure, but I don't know anything about these guys..." Jordan trailed off. Honestly, he felt intimidated by the new people, he's heard a lot about them, and how could he not? They're basically legends.
"Don't worry Jordan," Allison intervenes, putting a hand on his shoulder in support, "you don't need to know them to show them around."
Riley finally says her first word since she'd arrived as she slips out an involuntary, "Aw," and everyone in the room looks at her in confusion, and she justifies what she says by saying, "Sorry, they just seem like a really cute couple."
Allison instantly removes her hand from Jordan's shoulder in shock, and crosses her arms over her chest instead as she explains, "We're not a couple. We literally hated each other just a couple of days ago." As she says that, Jordan's nodding his head to what she's saying violently.
"We would never-" Jordan stutters, unable to find words, "we would make a terrible- uh, I mean.."
Jordan's cut off by Richelle and Noah laughing behind him, and he turns to them, narrowing his eyes at the best friends.
"Really guys? Do you want me to bring up what happened when Izzy first met you guys?" That stops their laughter instantly, and Izzy's just standing there with a huge grin on her face.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed." Riley apologises, feeling bad for them, but then she realises something. "Wait a minute, Richelle? Noah? Is that really you guys?"
At that, Emily, West, James and Eldon all stop watching the scene in front of them in amusement and turn their heads to the two teenagers, who are both shocked at the sudden attention.
"Richelle," Emily says, smiling, "you've grown up so much. Well, in age, I mean. You're still the same height you were back when I mentored you."
"Noah!" West exclaims in shock and strides over to him, not caring that he accidentally pushed over Cole, "look at you!"
West then puts his arms around Noah's shoulders, as Noah raises an eyebrow at him, and West sniffles. "They grow up so fast."
As Richelle cracks up laughing, Noah just shakes his head. "I totally forgot how weird you are West."
"You're lucky man," James says, as he walks over to the two boys and tries to make West release his grip, "it's hard to forget when you live with him."
West finally lets go and falls on the floor next to Cole, and West looks at him, confused. "Dude, why are you sitting on the floor?"
