*Time skip to Internationals*
"Richelle, are you ready for your pointe solo?" Michelle asked
"Elite is currently in 1st, I'd doubt with Richelle as your soloist, you'll barely make 5th." Mrs Angela said, looking Richelle up and down
"You don't threaten me." Richelle said, walking onto the stage and getting into her starting position
*4 minutes later*
"The Next Step has scored 88 points which puts them in 2nd place behind Elite Dance Academy!" The Announcer for Absolute Dance Internationals
"Elite is still winning. I doubt 2 slutty teenagers could knock Elite out of the top spot." Mrs Angela said, walking away
Backstage:
"Jacquie, I need to talk to you..." Henry said, his palms sweating
"Ok, what's up?" Jacquie replied
"I know I've been a real dick to you! I just want you to know I'm so sorry for the way I've treated you. Do you except my apology?" Henry asked, looking up into Jacquie's eyes
"You've broken my trust many times... but for the sake of the team, I forgive you." Jacquie said, smiling slightly
"Jacquie! You and Richelle are on for your duet now!!!" Emily said, gesturing to the stage
"Good luck!" Henry shouted as Jacquie ran into her starting position with Richelle
"Do you think they can guarantee us a win in the duet section?" Emily asked, looking at the 2 girls who had began to dance
"They've come a long way..." Michelle said, hugging Emily
*five 5 minutes later*
"Were we ok?" Jacquie asked
"You girls were beautiful! Well done." Michelle said, hugging Jacquie and Richelle
"Let's listen to the results." Emily said
"The Next Step has scored 90 points, which puts them in first place." The Announcer for Absolute Dance Internationals
"Right, the competition is finished for today. Tomorrow will be the hiphop group and the final group dance." Emily said
"Me and Emily are so proud of you all! Time to go back to our hotel and take a well deserved rest!" Michelle said, leading A-Troupe out to the mini bus
At the hotel dining room:
"How was your time at the daycare Romie Grace!?" Jacquie asked, bouncing her nearly one year old on her knee
"Happy birthday eve eve!" Piper said to Mateo
"I can't believe they were born over a year ago..." Finn said
"They grow up to fast!" Richelle said, looking at Mateo
"Cute babies." Lucien said
"Lucien, you seriously need to go away." Henry said
"But I just want to see my nieces..." Lucien said, stroking Davis' cheek
"Don't. Touch. Her." Jacquie said, standing up, handing Romelia to Jack
"I'm not doing anything." Lucien said, squeezing Romie's cheek
"Don't you dare touch my daughter." Jack said, walking towards Lucien
"We know what you did to Jacquie. Don't get any ideas with Romelia, you sick man." Michelle said
"We'll call security if we have too." Emily said
