Unexpected (Dance Moms Fic)

Chapter 3: Week of Solos, Issue with Cathy

Monday had arrived and Logan was seen pulling into the studio parking lot, he was wearing a DePaul shirt and orange trackpants, he got out of his vehicle and headed to the door, Logan then entered and saw Abby and Gianna sitting at the front desk as Kendall was in Studio A waiting for the girls to arrive.

"Hi, Logie." Gianna said to her boyfriend.

"Hello, hello, hello." Abby added, seeing her son enter the studio

"Hi, Mom. Hi, Gia." Logan responded and kissed them both on their cheeks, then he sat down in between them. "Yesterday, i took a walk through the Lincolnwood Town Center."

"You did? I remember when you were little, i'd use to take you there." Abby reminisced.

"Those were some good times, and i remember when we'd also go to the Old Orchard Mall in Skokie or sometimes, the Northbrook Court Mall in Northbrook." Logan added.

"We sure did." Gianna said.

Then minutes later, the girls and their moms arrived at the studio for yet another week of rehearsing and stood in their spots as they waited to see what Abby, Logan and Gianna had up their sleeve for this week.

"Ok, this last weekend was good, but you know that there's always room for improvement with your dancing." Abby stated.

"But we'll admit, it was an improvement over the weekend prior to that." Logan added, now let's get started with pyramid."

Pyramid:

Top - Maddie

Middle - Chloe, Kendall, Mackenzie

Bottom - Nia, Brooke, Paige, Vivi

"We are headed to In10sity dance in Milwaukee and this time, we won't have a duet, trio or a group routine becasue this week is a week of solos, which means every dancer will have a solo at In10sity." Abby informed them as the moms. "Logan, can you tell them what the assigments are?"

"Brooke, your solo is an acro routine named It's Electric. Paige, the name of your solo is a lyrical routine called Celestial. Kendall, the title of your routine is a contemporary piece called Warrior. Nia, your solo is a jazz piece called Me and My Shadow. Mackenzie, your routine is a lyrical piece named A World Alone, Maddie, your solo is called Retro and it's a musical theater piece. Kendall, your solo is a jazz routine named Delay of Game. Chloe, your solo is a contemporary routine called bluebird and Vivi, your solo is a lyrical piece called Heads will roll." Logan stated.

"Ok, moms, you can leave and girls start stretching.' Gianna said. "Cathy, Abby and Logan want to talk to you at the front desk later on."

Cathy wondered what Abby and Logan had wanted to talk to her about and minutes later while the girls continued stretching, she walked to the front desk where Abby and her son were standing.

"All right, Cathy....we need for you to be a role model because we know you are a dance teacher." Abby said.

"Cathy, what me and my mom want you to do is to be a role model, we know you're a dance teacher and you know how important it is for dancers and their moms when it comes to riding a bus to competition." Logan added.

"You two don't understand, i do not ride a bus." Cathy told them snarkily.

Abby and Logan looked at each other and had incredulous looks on their faces after what they had just heard from Cathy, they knew riding a bus to a competition meant that someone was a team player and wants to be a part of the team. "Are you saying you're too good for the bus?"

"That's exactly what i am saying." Cathy simply said. "I can't do that."

"Riding the bus to competitions is about being part of the team and if you want, she can come with us or your mom can go in your place if that's fine with you." Abby suggested.
