"What are you doing here April?" Allison asked, her voice shaking.
"Saving you guys' asses is what it seems like." April commented, but it didn't seem like anyone was smiling at her return anytime soon.
"Everyone, rehearsal is over for today." Kate said, shooing everyone away, with Allison, Jordan, Izzy and the six former A Troupers staying behind, and Melanie hesitating before leaving.
"Is anyone actually going to smile soon or just keep staring at me?" April asked, and Jordan's eye twitched slightly before he stormed out.
"Hey Alli, Izzy..." April trailed off.
"If you're going to come up with some stupid excuse about why you did what you did, I don't want to be here to hear it." Izzy stated, also storming out.
"Let me guess Allison, you're going to leave too?" April asked.
"Well, you did." Allison deadpanned, but didn't leave just yet.
"Listen, you guys just lost a member of A Troupe, Regionals is just around the corner, and I'm the only person who already knows everyone else on the team and can get the choreo downpat without trouble." April explained.
"I hate to say it," Kate started, "but you're right. April, welcome back to A Troupe."
"Kate!" Allison yelled, offended. "She could leave us hanging again at any second and you want her to dance with us at Regionals?!"
"Alli, it's our only chance..." Michelle argued softly, not wanting to upset her younger sister more.
"Unbelieveable." Allison muttered and stormed out of the studio, heading straight to Culture Shock.
"April, come back tomorrow morning for rehearsal." Kate said, and April nodded and headed out.
Soon enough, everyone else dispersed, trying to understand what just happened.
"Drama." West sing-songed and Emily laughed. "Remember when Amanda left us for Elite?"
"And I was the only one who knew the truth?" Emily asked, and West nodded. "Oh I remember."
"I still feel bad for believing that you turned into E-Girl Emily again." West admitted, scratching the back of his neck.
"West," Emily started in shock, "that was four years ago. Sure, it hurt, but I'm over it."
"How has the last four years been for you anyway?" West asked. "Met anyone new?"
Emily's mouth quirked up. "If you mean am I currently dating anyone... then, no, I'm not."
"Cool cool cool cool." West said, nodding. "Well, I'm not seeing anyone either, so, yeah..."
Emily, laughing slightly, decided to put the poor boy out of his misery by asking one simple question, "West, do you want to go out with me?"
