Revenge Of The Replacements

"okay..no what was that?" Abby asks

"go." Abby looks to Maddie

"you okay?" Brooke whispers

no.

i nod

Chloe tries a front handspring

"and she's the one who her mother thinks she can do the back tuck..you're so crooked all that alignment..in that left split comes out in everything." Abby says

Chloe starts to cry

i look down

i can't believe this is my life and my sisters life.

"Arabian Nights better do well you're dismissed i want to talk to yous two." Abby points to me and Chloe

"come here." Abby says and me and Chloe walk over to Abby

"i don't think you girls deserve a solo not the way your mother speaks to me in the pyramid i want what's best for you guys as my dancers..it's what time we have one day and now we're going to start it..we could've been finished it could be done by now, Chloe let's go" Abby says

|Solo Rehearsals|

we learn my solo and it's to the sing Moral Of The Story by Ashe

"sitting out in the parking lot was not good for you! look at that!" Abby yells as i do my turns

"come on kid do it right."

i do my ending pose

"you're up against you replacements..if you lose it just shows them that they're better then you and i think they are!" Abby says

i nod

"dismissed, go."

|Competition Day|

we arrive at the competition and i'm kinda nervous

we get to the dressing room and i start my makeup for my solo

"Mackenzie you're my first one up alright? so you cannot miss a trick understood. you have to nail every single trick if the legs aren't straight and the feet aren't pointed you're not gonna win go through it the pressure is on you, you won last week and i say it every time you know getting to the top is one thing but staying there is another thing" Abby says

we go to the audience to watch Kenzie dance
Kenzie performs her solo and her costume is stunning
but then she forgets her routine and i know Abby is going to be livid

"good job Kenz!" Kelly says

"how did you think you did Mackenzie?" mom asks

"i think i did well" Kenzie says

"well well well you go out there and forget your dance like a deer in the headlights." Abby says

"you went like this.... so Mackenzie let's go through all that you did wrong, you choreographed your own dance at the end which i don't really appreciate, you were early on the music you know i don't wanna be mean i don't wanna be nasty i would love to walked in here and had you run and hug me and be so thrilled with your performance but that's not what you do, you were going to be the overall high score eight and under go out there and do what you did, you went out there and screwed up and you know what she's not ready to do a big girl dance i don't know what religion you all are but i'd start praying because it's all we have left." Abby says
