The morning after the flash mob, almost all of J, B, A Troupe plus 'The Gang' were scattered all across Culture Shock just grabbing juices and catching up with friends. It was all pretty much the same old, same old, except for the fact that Allison was back.
"Man, you know what I'm really craving right now?" Eldon asked. "Juice."
"I swear to god, Eldon." James muttered, shaking his head in exasperation.
"We could have been at Junior Nationals right now." Crystal mumbled a few tables away, and all of J Troupe gasped as they realised she was right.
Yes, J Troupe were still bitter about the disaster that was Junior A Troupe Regionals.
At the table right behind them, Izzy was making her point in a heated debate.
"There is nothing wrong with shipping real life people!"
"There is if they're your friends and they're not dating and you're just weirding them out!!" Elly argued.
"Hah! Jokes on you, Noah and Richelle are dating now! And why, you ask? BecaUSE I GAVE THEM THE PUSH THEY NEEDED!"
On the other side of Culture Shock, all of A Troupe were sitting together.
"Wait, why were you so afraid of singing?" Allison asked Noah, laughing at the story Richelle was telling.
"I was going through puberty, leave me alone Allison." Noah grumbled, and Richelle just giggled.
"Well you better not be afraid of performing at Nationals, or we're going to have serious problems when it comes to our Male Solo and Small Group." Melanie said, making A Troupe laugh.
"Don't worry, I'm pretty sure I'm the most prepared for Nationals." Noah said, and the rest of A Troupe let out noises that made it clear that they were offended.
"I think we're ALL the most prepared for Nationals." Jordan said, making everyone laugh, but Allison laugh the loudest, which made April smirk at her best friend, and Allison just looked like a deer caught in headlights before she looked away from April.
I keep forgetting that April knows everything now and is okay with it all, Allison thinks to herself, still shocked by it all.
"Speaking of Nationals, I better go rehearse just to make sure I'm all caught up." Allison said, and all of A Troupe said goodbye.
"She'll understand, right?" Michelle asked, sitting a few tables away from A Troupe with Emily.
"Yeah, she'll see where we're coming from, she has to." Emily said just as Riley approached the table and sat down.
"Hey guys, what's going on?" Riley asked.
"Um..." Michelle started, hesitant.
Emily sighed. "Look Riley, Michelle and I have been talking about it, and... we think Alfie is bad news."
