While the girls are stretching to get ready for rehearsing, Franklin left Studio A and walked to the front desk and sat down in the chair and was reminiscing on the good old days as Gianna walked from Studio B.
"Hello, Franklin." Gianna greeted.
"Hi, Gia." Franklin replied.
"Been helping Abby with the pyramid and assigments?" She asked him.
"Remember those crazy moms that were in the studio when we were dancing? That group had some real crazy moms, but your mom and my mom were the only ones that were sane and calm."
"Yep, i remember one girl that we danced with, she was very nice her mom tried to put more gray hairs on Abby than any other mom ever did, the moms here are not as bad as those moms from the group we were with."
"I remember that mom of the girl, she tried to make my stress level go up, but Abby put her in her place, and that mom never bothered any of us ever again."
"Well, last week i've been noticing that you've been checking Abby out and Abby's been checking you out." Gianna told him.
Franklin blushed at Gianna suspecting that he has a crush on Abby. "Uhhhh.....What are you talking about, Gianna?"
"The way you look at her and the way she looked at you, when you rubbed her feet at the competition, she was so relaxed at your touch and from what she told me, you are so good at foot massages and also."
"I used to rub my mom's feet and i rubbed Abby's feet a lot of times when i was little, remember?" Franklin told Gianna.
"Oh, i remember. Whenever you did something for Abby, you did it the first time with no questions asked and i could also tell that Abby would look at you with a grin on her face." Gianna responded.
"What do you think of the girls on the junior elite team?"
"I think they're very talented. Chloe's a very passionate dancer, Brooke can be a little moody at times from what Abby has told me, but i know she can be the best, Kendall is talented, but i think her mother is holding her back, Nia can really boogie, Mackenzie looks so cute when she dances and Maddie puts in work whenever she dances." Franklin answered.
"You love kids, don't you?" Gianna asked.
"Yep."
Gianna couldn't help but smile. "You ready to go into Studio A and teach the girls their routines for the competition this weekend in Lake Tahoe?"
"Ready when you are." Franklin told the Assistant of Abby as he got up from sitting at the front desk headed back into Studio A with Gianna behind him and when they entered, they saw Abby still sitting as Franklin couldn't help but notice Abby smiling at him, her green eyes twinking again at seeing him enter.
"Hey, you guys ready to get started?"
"Yes we are. Which routine are we gonna work on first?" Franklin asked. "Maddie's solo, Chloe's solo, The trio with Brooke, Paige and Kendall or the group dance?"
"How about we work on the trio first?" Abby suggested.
"Sounds like a plan." Franklin said
"Brooke, Paige, Kendall, i know you three have been told before, when it comes to a trio, you three are gonna have to work together to make this trio flawless and most importantly, timing is everything." Franklin said to them.
"All right, your trio is called Find a new way. It's about finding a new way to figure out to do something new and not trying the old way anymore." Abby told them
"Brooke, your leg isn't turnt out!" Abby shouted to the 13 year old, who was having trouble turning her leg out in a turn.
"Paige, pointe your feet!" Franklin added, seeing Paige having a sickled foot, then he noticed that Kendall was using her expressions. "Good, for once you are using your expressions, Kendall!"
But the trio was anything but superb, Brooke, Paige and Kendall were messing up countless times with a lot of flaws as Franklin was starting to get mad as Abby facepalmed in exasperation
"Ok, you three are dismissed for a while, go get a drink of water, maybe that'll help you fix your problems." Franklin said calmly as Brooke, Paige and Kendall left as he looked over at Abby, who winked at him with a smile and he winked back.
"You three aren't going anywhere until you get it perfectly fine!" Franklin boomed as Abby couldn't help but smirk, she was seeing her former student's tough side and after an hour of working on the Trio, the three nailed the dance.
