"Hey Richelle!" Emily called out
"Yes Emily?" Richelle said
"I was wondering if you would help me chose a replacement for Noah! I trust your judgement." Emily asked
"Sure! I mean, I'll miss out on team bonding but this is way more important..." Richelle replied, smirking smugly
"Thanks Richelle." Emily said, smiling
"I'm sure this gives me a better chance of becoming dance captain, am I right?" Richelle said daringly
"And why would that be?" Emily asked
"Well, I'm sacrificing team bonding time to help you today, you and I also go way back and you trust my judgement! It seems clear to me." Richelle replied sassily
"Don't push it." Emily said, "C'mon lets see some dancing!"
"Ok." Richelle replied
"All auditionees listen up!" Said Emily, "There's only going to be a solo round, myself and Richelle will be choosing who makes the last spot on A-Troupe!"
"Me and Emily are looking for a dancer who is just as good as me! You need to be technically perfect and really give us the emotion." Richelle said, "Just looking at you, I can tell some of you are not going to make it..."
"Yes, thank you Richelle." Emily said through gritted teeth, "First up is Vanessa! Give it all you got!"
