After a bit more rehearsal Abby takes us to a grassy field place and we are all doing tricks and it's so fun, then we play bowling and I loose by so much.

Today was really fun because we had lots of free time to hangout together. We go back to the hotel and I'm so tired, I hear the other girls playing music and jumping around and it's really annoying. I go to find Mommy but she's not here, she must be with the moms

I want to cry, nothings good I feel sick and it's so noisy and crowded so I cry myself to sleep.

I wake up and Brooke and Paige are already eating breakfast and I have cornflakes and apple juice for breakfast. The next few days we just rehearse a lot and then it's time to go to nationals

On the bus Mommy starts on my hair so there is less to do at the competition but it's really hard to sit still because the bus is so bumpy.

When we're in the dressing room Maddies Dad comes in and says hi which is really nice.

First is solos so me Maddie and Chloe walk to the wings together.

"Please welcome to the stage act number 14 'never land'"

"Please welcome to the stage act number 14 'never land'"

I step onto stage and get in my starting pose, on the floor. I finish and run off and Maddie and Chloe say I did so well. Hopefully I win.

I watch Maddie do her dance and hug her as she comes of stage. Chloe's dance is going so well but then she freezes and when it finishes she runs off and cries and me and Maddie comfort her.

Now it's time for solos awards, please please please.

"Starting with our 3-5 category in fifth place we have act number 72"

I clap, I still have a chance. Now it's down to first place.

"In first place is act number 14 never land"

I get up I can't believe I won they crown me and I get a sash I'm so happy. Then I get my trophy

"What studio are you from"
"Abby Lee Dance Company"
"And how does it feel to win"
"Amazing" I say

I go sit down and all the girls cheer for me

Maddie wins and she is also crowned, we're matching.

When awards are over I go to Mommy and hug her

"I'm so proud of you" she says

Then we head to the audience to watch Brooke and Paige but I'm not really watching I'm just so excited I won. Then Maddie and Chloe's dance which is really good.

In awards Paige and Brooke get 5th and Maddie and Chloe win. Maddie won twice already, she's amazing.

Now we have to rush and get ready for group and I'm so nervous, I thought I would be excited but I'm just nervous I don't want to let everyone down.

Abby starts ranting but I'm just too nervous to listen and I can't I'm so stressed. We head to the wings and Paige kisses me on the head before we go on.

"Welcome to the stage act 1001 this is my beauty"

We go on and do the dance which goes so well

Now awards

"One single point, just one point separates first and second place, I'm gonna call both groups up here in no particular order this is my beauty ALDC"

We run up to the stage

"And rolling in the deep"

The other team gets up and we all hold hands

"Now audience are you ready for the first place winner... this is my beauty ABBY LEE DANCE COMPANY"

We all scream and jump and clap, I'm so excited!!!

I won my solo and we won the group. AHHH!!!! I hug MacKenzie

"Who choreographed your dance"
"Abby Lee Miller" we all scream
"And what studio"
"Abby Lee Dance Company"

We get our plaque and run to the dressing room and when Abby comes in we all run and give her a massive hug

"Hands in" Abby says

"1,2,3, we are Abby Lee, 4,5,6 you should see our kicks, 7 and 8, we are really great, 9 and ten we just won again" we all say and scream

Then Abby tells us we're going back to LA

We all scream again but I kinda miss home, I look and all the moms look annoyed. I miss Dad and Josh and I just wanna sleep in my own bed. It's getting tiring.
