A couple of days after Lola had left A Troupe, Richelle, Noah, April, Melanie, Izzy and Elly were all called into Studio A to talk to Michelle.
"Okay guys," Michelle started as she walked out of Kate's office and into Studio A, "you're probably wondering why I asked you all here."
When everyone else nodded, Michelle continued, "Well, since both Izzy and Elly are in B Troupe, I think it'd be really great if they could learn from some of our A Troupers so they can improve themselves."
"Wait, so," Izzy started, but collected herself before she came off as anything but civil, "you mean to say that Elly and I are somewhat, working... together?"
"Oh god no!" Michelle said with a laugh. "No, you will each prepare a trio with two of these guys!"
"Oh thank god." Izzy said in relief, putting her hand to her heart, and Elly just rolled her eyes.
"So Elly, you'll be with April & Melanie," Michelle said, and all three of them nodded while Izzy's eyes widened, "and Izzy you'll be with Noah and Richelle."
"YES!!!" Izzy yelled, but then tried to collect herself. "I mean, yeah, that's cool I guess."
As Richelle giggled at Izzy, Noah started to panic. He'd only just realised a couple of days ago how he felt about Richelle and now they were going to have to work together? Thank god it wasn't duets or he would've really made a fool of himself.
April was so glad that she got to work with Melanie. She'd still never found out why Melanie had been so rude to Jordan, which meant that this little bonding project was the perfect time to get answers.
Melanie did not want to do this trio project, she knew April was going to ask questions about the whole anger-at-Jordan thing, and she really didn't want to answer any of them. I guess I'll just have to avoid them as much as I can, Melanie thought.
When Richelle finally stopped giggling, she realised what this really meant. She'd have to work with Noah, and they'd probably do a lot of partner work. They hadn't really danced together ever since she realised her feelings, and she didn't want her feelings showing on her face if they do do partner work. Whatever, it's not like it was duets or anything. She had Izzy as a buffer. And it's not like Izzy would let her 'shipping' get in the way of dance!
Izzy was so thankful for her sister. She couldn't believe Michelle really let this happen!! She was going to work on a trio with Noah and Richelle!
Her plan to finally get Nochelle together was a go!

Since Izzy was called into Studio A, Allison was just hanging out at Culture Shock because she didn't really have a reason to be at home.
