Nomanda was one of The Next Step's best couples. But are they meant for each other? In this fanfiction find out if Nomanda will finally return after all this time.
The story starts at regionals in season 4 and goes into season 6.
Noah and Jacquie have now been dating for three months, and Amanda has been gone on tour for eleven months. TNS east and TNS west have officially merged into one team. With Noah being the dance captain of a troupe he's in charge of the choreography. Noah is in studio a with earbuds in trying to figure out choreography. He decides to let Jacquie choreograph this section of the dance for the qualifier video.
Noah walks up to Jacquie who's dancing with Zara. "Hey Jacquie, can you choreograph this section of the dance?" He asks. "Ya for sure." "I'd love it to be contemporary to contrast Richelle's pointe solo." "Okay, great." Jacquie hugs Noah.

Noah later walks into studio a to see how Jacquie's choreography is going. He looks and sees she choreographed a hip-hop routine not contemporary like he asked for. While the group rehearses he just leaves them and decided to confront Jacquie later.
When the group is on a break Noah approaches Jacquie. "Hey Jacquie, the choreo you did was good but I asked for contemporary not hip-hop." He tells her. "Ya, but I listened to the music and it's hard hitting so only hip-hop will make sense." "Look, Jacquie, this section really needs to be contemporary." "Hip-hop is what's right for the dance." "Okay, I'm just gonna do it myself." Noah decides. Josh, Piper and Heather walk into studio a. "Go ahead, the groups here so let's learn your choreography." Jacquie says then rolls her eyes.
Noah turns and looks at them. "Okay, guys the choreo you did with Jacquie was good but I'm gonna be rechoreographing." The rest of the group look at each other. Piper interview: "Wow this is awkward." "So come to the centre so you can learn it." Noah begins teaching the choreo to Josh, Piper, Heather and Jacquie. Noah shows a step. "And that's a fist with that." Jacquie tries to add. "No, no fist just an open hand." He teaches another step. "And let's add a stomp." Jacquie tries again. "No stomp we're just gonna flow through it." "We're not prima ballerinas." Jacquie states. "Yeah, but this is contemporary so let's try this again." Noah says. "Are you serious?" Jacquie asks very upset. "Jacquie! Are you seriously gonna pull this now? We're not doing hip-hop in this section it needs contemporary! Ok? Cool?" Noah yells. Piper interview: Wow this is tense." "How about we take a break." Heather suggests. "Okay everyone take 5" Noah decides.

Noah interview: "This was hard to do but I had to do what's best for the team, not our relationship." Jacquie walks out of the studio. Jacquie interview: I can't even look at Noah right now. He just embarrassed me in front of everyone. I've never had a boyfriend treat me like this before." Noah paces alone in studio a, he puts his hands on his head in frustration.
The next step films their qualifier video and their now waiting for the results. All of a troupe are in studio a except Richelle. They're waiting to find out if they're going to regionals. "Jacquie interview: "After I saw the video I realized I was wrong, I can't believe how silly we were acting we were literally fighting over choreography." Noah interview: "I think we're gonna be okay."
Noah checks the iPad to see if they qualified. "We made it." He announces. Everyone jumps and cheers.
Noah and Jacquie's relationship continues to go smoothly.
One day Emily, Michelle and Noah are all in Michelle's office. "Okay, so Noah I think the dancers all need to perform duets to connect with each other." Emily says. "Okay." He replies. 'The pairs are you and Richelle, Jacquie and Ozzy, Kingston and Lola, Amy and Heather, Henry and Piper and Josh and Zara. Can you tell the team?" "Yup I'm on it." Noah leaves Emily's office and heads into studio a where the rest of the dancers are.
"Hey, guys! I have some news. Everyone here is making a duet with another member of a troupe to connect with each other. Emily decided the partners I'm just telling you them. So it's Richelle and me, Jacquie and Ozzy, Lola and Kingston, Amy and Heather, Henry and Piper and Josh and Zara." Jacquie slightly frowns but tries to hide it. Jacquie interview: "I'm pretty mad I need to work with Ozzy. I'm a much stronger dancer than him and I don't think it's fair I need to work with him. "So everyone get started." Noah tells the dancers.

Noah and Richelle are in studio a together alone rehearsing their duet. "It's good." Richelle says. "Yup." Noah replies. Richelle interview: "Last time I was here together with Noah he couldn't get over Amanda, but now he's completely moved onto Jacquie." "Noah?" Richelle says then hesitates. "Yeah" "Um, do you ever miss Amanda?" She asks. When Richelle mentions Amanda's name, it just makes him think about her and all their moments together. "Yeah, I guess. But I'm with Jacquie now." He says then looks at the floor. Noah interview: "Richelle asking me about Amanda is honestly hard. I haven't talked to her since I started dating Jacquie, and I honestly don't know what I'm feeling right now with Amanda. What I do know is I definitely miss her." Richelle interview: "I've known Noah a very long time. And I honestly think he liked Amanda more than he likes Jacquie and I do think he still likes her."
"You don't ever think about her?" Richelle asks. Noah interview: "I don't really know why Richelle's asking me about Amanda but I've known her a long time and I can trust her." Noah sits on a cube in front of Michelle's office. Richelle follows and sits beside him. "To be honest I do still think about her. A lot." He confesses. "I don't know what I feel for her though. I don't know if I'm completely over her." He adds.
Jacquie's standing in studio one and Ozzy walks in. "Hey, Jacquie wanna get started." Ozzy asks her. "Sure." she replies and gives him a fake smile. They work on some choreo that includes a switch leap, some hip-hop and a floor section. Jacquie interview: "Working with Ozzy isn't as bad as I thought, but he's not that strong of a dancer. I wish I had a different partner so I can actually learn something." When they decide to finish their rehearsal Jacquie leaves studio one and heads to the locker room.
Jacquie sits on the couch in the locker room. Noah walks in and opens his locker. Jacquie gets up and approaches him. "Hey, Noah can you switch my duet partner?" She asks him. "Look, Jacquie, first I didn't decide the partners and you should stick it out and work with him. You need to work with everyone." Jacquie interview: "I'm a little surprised Noah won't do this for me, he's supposed to be my boyfriend but he's not really helping me." Jacquie frowns. "But Noah, working with Ozzy? How am I supposed to improve I'm a much stronger dancer than him." "Jacquie, sometimes the challenge isn't the dancing. Like you need to rise to the challenge of working with Ozzy and maybe teach him something. I'm sorry Jacquie." Noah touches her shoulder than walks away.
Noah interview: "I don't know why but my conversation with Jacquie is bothering me. I don't like how she's not open to working with everyone. I feel like if it were Amanda she would've gone with it and not made a big deal. Wait, I think I still have feelings for Amanda."
