The next morning at 10:00 AM in the hotel, Logan was seen leaving the bathroom in his hotel room after taking a shower and he had put on his clothes after drying off, he was wearing a Prince Purple Rain shirt and black trackpants with his hair in a ponytail, then he grabbed his cell phone and card key.

"Now, i've got to meet mom, freebird and Gia downstairs and we'll be on our way to the studio for rehearsals." Logan said to himself as he opened the door and headed to the elevator, then he saw Hollie pass by. 'Hi, Hollie."

"Hello, Logan." Hollie stated.

After Logan got to the elevator, he pressed the button and seconds later, the elevator arrived and it took him to the lobby and he saw Abby and Gianna talking, then they looked up and saw him approaching.

"Morning, Logan." Abby said to her son.

"Hey, Logan." Gianna added and he kissed them both on their cheeks and gave Kendall a hug.

"Hi, bro." Kendall stated.

"Morning, Mom. Morning, Gia. Morning, Kendall K." Logan told them.

"Are you ready to head to the International Dance Academy in Hollywood?" Abby asked Logan.

"Ready when you are."

With that, Abby, Logan, Kendall and Gianna all left the hotel and were outside and walked down hope street, then they turned left on 7th street and approached a subway entrance that said "7th Street/Metro Center" and they went down and paid their fare and it had three underground levels, the main concourse and side platforms that have Blue Line light rail trains were on the second underground level was the Red and Purple Line subway trains. Abby, Logan, Kendall and Gianna all got on a red line train, then it left the station.

Twenty minutes later, the four were seen coming up the stairs from the Hollywood/Highland station and there was an outdoor mall named Hollywood & Highland, which has been there since November 2001. Next to the outdoor mall was the TCL Chinese Theater, which is a landmark theater. They crossed hollywood boulevard and approached a building that said "International dance academy hollywood", where their rehearsals would be at and got signed in, headed to the second floor and entered Studio A1, the largest studio room in the building.

"This is great, it gives us a lot of room to rehearse." Abby said.

"It sure does." Kendall agreed.

"And it gives us a good view of Hollywood Avenue." Gianna added.

Meanwhile, minutes later, two vans arrived at the building and getting out of the first vehicle were the girls and the moms got out of the second one and the vans both headed off.

"We finally made it to the studio we're rehearsing in." Hollie stated.

"Yeah, and from what Abby told us, it gives us a great view of Hollywood Boulevard." Melissa added.

"How did Abby, Logan, Kendall and Gianna get here?" Kelly wondered.

"They rode the Metro Red Line from 7th Street to get here." Christi answered.

"And we got stuck in traffic." Holly said.

"That's Los Angeles for you, this city has more traffic jams than the Kennedy Expressway back home in Chicago." Melissa stated, then they and the girls all walked into the building and the girls got changed into their dancing wear and were waiting for Abby, Logan and Gianna to call them and back in Studio A1, Logan pulled out an airhorn.

"Mom, Gia, can you please plug your ears?" Logan suggested. "Because i'm about to use this air horn to bring the girls in."

"Ok, thanks for letting us know." Abby told her son as she and Gianna both covered their ears and Logan sounded the air horn to signal to the girls that pyramid and rehearsals were about to begin.

"Get in here, girls! No time to waste!" Logan yelled as Maddie, Mackenzie, Brooke, Paige, Nia, Kendall, Chloe and Brookie all walked in and entering next was Melissa, Kelly, Holly, Christi and Hollie.

"Everybody, we're now here in Los Angeles, California, which is where Hollywood Vibe is going to be held at and this is our last competition before we head to Lake Tahoe for Nationals and this city is one of my son's favorite cities to visit." Abby stated.

"Also, this is the city where you see kids on TV and Movies, those kids auditioned weekly for those and that's what makes them professionals, now let's move on to the pyramid."

Pyramid:

Top - Kendall

Middle - Chloe, Maddie, Nia

Bottom - Mackenzie, Brookie, Paige, Brooke

"Ok, we've got two solos and a duet, The first will go to Kendall and the second one will go to Chloe. For the duet, Brookie and Mackenzie will be in it and everyone but Brookie and Mackenzie will be in the group dances." Logan told everyone. "All right, let's do it."

Minutes after stretching, the girls were all standing as the moms were outside and Abby, Gianna and Logan got ready to work with them on the group routine, they decided that the group routine would be first, the solos would be next and the duet would be last.

"Girls, the group routine that you will be doing this saturday is named Soft Spoken." Logan told the girls, then when the music began playing, he and Gianna showed the girls the moves that was in the routine, then it was the girls' turn to do the moves. "Use more expression, Brooke! Don't Sickle, Nia! Ribs Closed, Paige!"

"Kendall, turn the legs out! Chloe, shoulders back! Maddie, long neck!" Abby added and the rehearsal took an hour and 45 minutes, then the girls all left for the changing room except for Kendall.

"Kendall, your solo is called Among the Blossoms." Abby stated, then Logan and Gianna showed her the moves that she had to do, then she did them and like with the group rehearsal, it took an hour and 45 minutes. "Not bad, Kendall, but we'll work on it a little more."

"Ok." Kendall commented, then she left and Chloe came in.

"Chloe, the title of your solo is called Cha-Cha-Cha-Cheetah." Logan informed her, then after watching the moves, Chloe began dancing and the rehearsal took an hour and 20 minutes, then Brookie and Mackenzie both walked in.

"Mackenzie, Brookie, the name of your duet is called Happy Monsters. This is the duet that you were originally going to do with Vivi, but we scratched it when Cathy showed up late. Now you've got a chance to do the duet with your best friend." Gianna said to the two, then Brookie and Mackenzie rehearsed their duet and it took 45 minutes, then the rehearsals kept on going until 7:00 PM and they all went back to the hotel.
