Chapter 7: Playing Cupid, Meeting an Old Friend and Sayonara, Cathy

It was June 29th and it was three days to the Starpower competition in Chicago which would be at McCormick Place and for that competition, Abby decided to bring a boy in for the group dance named Snapshot to be the photographer and his name is Brandon Pent, a 15 year old dancer for the Abby Lee Dance Company and a former crush of Brooke's. Brandon's mother is named Diane and also Maddie and Nia had solos and to try to have Brooke and Brandon have chemistry, Abby set them up on a date to the carnival and Maddie's solo was named Universe and Nia's was Bollywood. Mackenzie and Vivi were to have a duet, Cathy didn't show up for pyramid and when she did show up last night and Abby had no choice but to pull the duet and Shane was given a solo called Who's Bad, based off of one of Shane's favorite Michael Jackson songs, known as Bad.

(Shane's solo costume for Who's Bad: Black jacket with some gold buckles, tanktop, some black slacks with white stripes on each side, black loafers)

The week prior, Holly was sent over the edge over Abby putting Nia in a ethnic stereotype dance and she even fought with Abby and Shane was brought into the mix when Holly accused Shane of coming up with the idea of the routine for Nia, but Shane held his ground and also Cathy still wasn't playing by the ALDC rules. Christi hadn't fought with Abby and Chloe was in the good books of Abby as well which made Chloe and Maddie the top dancers of the studio.

Diane and Kelly took Brooke and Brandon to a carnival and it was held in the parking lot of the Old Orchard Shopping Center and tagging along was Shane, who was invited by Diane and Kelly after they asked Abby about it and she agreed and the carnival had tons of rides like the Ferris Wheel 360 degree looping roller coaster named Fire Ball, 1001 Nachts, a claw like ride named Freak Out, an european style ride called the Himalaya, a ride that took riders in a circular motion that went through hills and valleys, a ride that spins in a circular motion named Zero Gravity, an egyptian ship themed ride named Pharaoh's Fury, a bumper ride called Scooter, there was also a ride that gave riders the sensation of flying, which was named Sizzler, also, there were classic rides named the Zipper Ride and the Tilt-A-Whirl, also, there were food concessions, games and other rides for kids and families like a large scale, obstacle course namded Raiders.

"Glad you came with us, Rain." Diane told Shane.

"Thanks, and the name is Shane." Shane corrected.

"Sorry about that."

Meanwhile, Brooke and Brandon were walking.

"Brooke, when i get my driver's license, can i drive you around?" Brandon asked. "I promise i won't crash."

"No way, how about you ask one of the other older girls of the studio?" Brooke suggested. "I'm pretty sure that they'd jump at the chance for you to drive them around when you get your license."

"Brooke, what is your overall opinion on Abby sending us on this date?"

"My opinion about this is that it's weird. I don't know why she came up with this idea."

"You do understand where she's coming from?"

"Nope."

"I was hoping that this was gonna give us chemistry like it did when we were younger." Brandon said, it was obvious that this wasn't helping build chemistry because Brooke was being cold towards him. "What do you think happened?"

"Can we move on to something else?" Brooke suggested to him, it was clear that she did not want to talk about what had happened between them. "Like that Fire Ball ride, that's going round and round. Maybe one of the other older girls would be willing to date you and you can have chemistry with one of them and everybody wins. Maybe i'll set you up on a date with one."
