Unexpected (Dance Moms Fic)

Chapter 15: Sayonara

Back in the dressing room before the girls got back there, Brandon and Diane were packing up to leave the competition because the group dance was a disaster and knowing if they stayed, Brandon would have gotten most of the blame and Diane didn't want that whatsoever.

"Mom, i'm glad that we're leaving because Abby and Logan would have killed me for messing up." Brandon told Diane.

"I agree, the group dance was horrible." Diane agreed. "And we know that you'll be the fall guy that Abby and Logan will be looking for."

The two left the dressing room, left McCormick place and got in a Dodge caravan that Diane owned and they drove back to Lincolnwood.

Meanwhile, back in the ballroom, the stage curtains opened and everyone who competed at Xpressions were dancing and then when that was done, they all sat down as awards were starting and the elite mini soloist division awards began, after those awards were finished, the elite junior soloist division awards were next with places 10 through 3 being announced and finally, the top two dances were about to be announced.

"In second place is Maddie from the Abby Lee Dance Company with Jai Ho!" Maddie got up and got her award and she knew at one point, she would have to lose at one point and she sat back down.

"And in first place, we have Kendall from the Abby Lee Dance Company with People Help The People!" Kendall rose from sitting down and got her first place award, she hadn't gotten first place since the conclusion of the first half of the season and that was when Maddie had stubbed her toe and was unable to compete.

"Great job, Kendall K!" Logan cheered.

"Whoo!" Abby added, seeing her daughter finally get first place since the first half of the season ended, the duet/trio awards passed and last but not least, the group awards and to no one's surprise because the way the ALDC's group routine had gone, it didn't place and then the moms and girls were backstage packing up.

"It's a good thing that Diane and Brandon left when they did." Kelly said.

"Yeah, if they didn't Abby and Logan would have verbally tore them to shreds." Christi said.

Then the door opened and walking in was Logan, Abby and Gianna as everyone looked at them.

"Whoo. Girls, how did you think we did today despite the group dance not placing?" Gianna asked.

"We did good, but we can always improve on a lot of things." Chloe stated.

"Yep." Maddie said.

"What a competition season we've had and we've got some news for you all and i bet your mothers are gonna be stunned."

"Oh, man. What do they have up their sleeve?" Christi asked.

"With those two, you never know." Holly responded.

"Next, we'll be going from here to Vegas, where the competition will be held on the 11th, Then we compete in Los Angeles on the 18th and finally Lake Tahoe for Nationals, which will be on June 25th." Abby informed everybody. "Also, you've got to be the overall high scoring winner, got it?!"

"Crystal Clear, Miss Abby." Mackenzie answered.

"Yeah, what Kenzie said." Brooke added.

"We're going on a national tour." Kelly told them.

"I had a feeling that they had something up their sleeve." Melissa said. "But i think this might be good for us, because for a while, we can get away from Abby and her son by going out for drinks."

"I think this is gonna be great." Gianna stated.

"Mom, i'm all in on this tour!" Logan exclaimed and Abby high fived him.

"Count me in too!" Kendall agreed as Cathy had an expression on her face that said that she wasn't going to be in on this traveling schedule as Abby and Logan noticed it.

"We can't help but notice that you aren't happy about this." Logan said to Cathy as the moms and girls all left for their respective vehicles. "What's going on?"

"Logan, Abby, here's what you need to know...Vivi and i are not going to Vegas or being a part of this kind of travel and we're no longer going to be a part of your team." Cathy informed them, which confirmed that she was no longer going to be a part of the Abby Lee Dance Company.

Abby looked at her son and he looked at her, they both were not surprised at Cathy not wanting to travel with them to Las Vegas. "All right."

"Why am i not surprised?" Abby added. "You could have at least brought your mom to accompany Vivi to the competitions with us. Cathy, we know that Vivi doesn't go with anyone but you, however, you've got to let Vivi go with someone you know other than you."

"If i let Vivi go with someone i know, she's gonna freak out because the last time i did that, she was crying because i wasn't there, so we're getting off of the party train." Cathy explained.

"We understand that, but you're being a quitter, Cathy and i'm gonna say the one thing that my mom usually says and that is Everyone's Replaceable and we know that there's probably a dancer in the ALDC and their mom that really wants to travel with us if it's not you." Logan stated.

"Good, you call that dancer and i respect your mother as a dance teacher, but we will not go to Vegas." Cathy snarkily told him.

"So long, Quitter. Don't let the door hit you and Vivi on the way out." Abby growled.

"Whatever, you losers." Cathy stated as she and Vivi grabbed their bags and left the dressing room.

"Mom, we don't need that crabby loser of Ohio, we've got wonderful, talented dancers that know how to win." Logan told Abby.

"You're correct on that, sweetheart." Abby responded to her son as she wrapped and arm around him and they both left the dressing room of the auditorium and headed to their vehicles and before they left, Abby made a phone call to have a interim dancer take Vivi's spot for the last competitions of the season.
