Emily's P.O.V

Amanda hasn't won yet and she's not going too. Amanda is going down BEFORE she takes the next step down. And, I plan to be apart of the plan when she does go down. She may think that she's here undercover to get everyone on her good side then tell everyone at Elite that The Next Step isn't going to nationals.. But, thanks to the plan that Riley & I came up with... Amanda will go DOWN before anything happens to our studio.

"Em...Are-Are you okay?" Riley asks, looking me in the eyes. Honestly, I'm not okay. I just need to be by myself right now.

"No-No. No, I'm not, Riley. I-I.. I just need to be by myself.. I'll be in the music room.." I walk into the music room and over to the piano and sit down then start to play some of the keys when everyone's voices come in my head.

'NATIONALS IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER AND YOU DECIDE TO BE OLD EMILY AGAIN?!'

'HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO YOUR OWN SISTER?!'

'I KNEW IT WAS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE YOUR TRUE COLORS CAME OUT'

Then... Amanda walks in.. And, it all comes down to... THIS.

"So, I guess everyone hates you now, huh?" She asks then chuckles lightly. "I never knew you would act like that with me around. That just makes my job easier."

I laugh then stand up and look at her.

"I know your plan, Amanda." I say, walking over towards the door then I walk back and face her.. I'm only about 2 feet from her.

"What plan?" she asks.

"You know what plan I'm talking about..." I start. "The one where you're still captain at Elite and you only came here to audition after Regionals to take us down and make sure that we DIDN'T make it to nationals..... That plan, Amanda. Look, I just want to say that... I'm very impressed with you right now.." I say, looking at her. She looks at me in shock then raises her eyebrow.

"Why are you impressed? I'm planning to take down your studio..." Amanda says.

"Because.. I want to help you take down the next step. I think that if we work together, we can take the studio down so Elite can win at nationals." I say.

"You're going to need to prove yourself though, Emily. I don't believe you at the moment.. Not one bit." Amanda says.

"I get it... I do. I'll do anything to prove that I'm on your side, Amanda. Anything."

Riley's P.O.V

Chloe and I are talking in Studio A. James walks over and gets Chloe a look which makes Chloe stand up and walk away.

"Yo. Wazzup?" James asks as he puts his arm around me. I take his arm away and look at him.

"What are you doing? We're not back together... I said that we would talk it out. That doesn't mean yes James. You hurt my feelings after kissing Beth in front of me." I say.

"I know I know. But, I have an idea. Make a list." He says.

"A List?" I ask.

He nods then continues talking.

"Make a list. Put ANYTHING on it and I'll do it."

"Anything?"

"Anything."

"Anything??"

"Annnything."

"Anything???"

"Riley, just put anything on it and I'll do it."
