"Hey guys," Noah said as he walked up to Jordan, Melanie & April the next day in Studio A just before rehearsals were supposed to start, "have any of you seen Richelle?"
"No, but there's probably no need to worry, Allison's not here yet either." Jordan said.
"Yeah, knowing you Noah, you probably had an hour long conversation with Richelle over the phone this morning and you're already going through withdrawals." Melanie said, and Jordan and April snorted.
"Guys, this isn't funny. I haven't seen or talked to her since yesterday and I spent all of last night trying to find her or just contact her but obviously that didn't go as well as I hoped." Noah said, looking downtrodden as Jordan, Melanie and April all stared at him in shock. Nochelle hasn't talked since yesterday? What have they somehow missed?!
"What the-" April started but got cut off by Kate walking into Studio A with Michelle following behind.
"Okay A Troupe, gather around!" Kate said, and was about to continue when Richelle sped into the room, yelling, "Sorry I'm late!" and barreling almost straight into Noah in her attempt to stand next to A Troupe.
"It's okay Richelle." Kate said. "Okay guys, we have an announcement to make."
"But Allison's not here yet." Jordan pointed out, confused by her lateness now that Richelle was here.
Kate looked at Michelle as Michelle sighed. "That's actually what the announcement's about. As of last night, A Troupe is officially down to ten dancers because Allison has decided to leave The Next Step."
At that, all of A Troupe gasped in utter shock. Why would Allison just leave like that?
"Wait, what?" April asked, she had so many questions. She was Co-Captain and Allison's best friend, why wasn't she consulted about this? "That doesn't make any sense, I spoke to her last night and she seemed fine!"
"Yeah I spoke to her yesterday too!" Jordan said, with Richelle & Noah yelling, "Me too!" in unison, which made them both blush.
"GUYS!" Michelle yelled. "She just felt it was the right decision okay?! So don't try to blow up her phone trying to find out why she felt that way, okay? Because if she didn't tell either me or Izzy why, then she isn't going to tell you guys!"
"Now, everyone take ten minutes to compose yourselves from this shock and then come back here ready to rehearse, okay?" Kate said, and everyone nodded and then walked out of Studio A, minus Noah and Richelle who were still standing still.
