"this is where the car industry made people millionaires suddenly the depression came and nobodies buying any cars so we are going to do a routine and call it Riches to Rags"

"Maddie you are doing a contemporary solo and the name of the piece is Timeless because you are Timeless Maddie."

"Eloise it's back to work you have a musical theatre solo entitled Love Me Like You"

"and my other solo.. Kendall this week you're doing a pretty lyrical solo."

i smile to Kendall

"Abby can you just explain as to where Kalani fits she can't go up against Maddie for the number one spot on the team." Kira says

"Kalani was brought here to dance with Maddie not to go up against my own students." Abby says

"you put her up against Chloe last week." mom points out

"i did and what happened so i learnt from my mistakes, i'm never going to do that again." Abby says

"okay go ahead.. get ready to dance."

|Group Rehearsals|
we start the group and it's cute

our dance is about us being homeless and wanting to be rich basically
"so the songs sassy but you are unemployed, hungry, dirty, sad" Abby says

"so ready? who's starting.. Kendall you start."
we all come out in the line

Kendall enters first then Chloe then me then Maddie then Nia then Kalani then Kenzie

we do the group a couple of times

"we need to start the solos.. Maddie you're on deck and the rest of you can go."

we all get dismissed

|Two Days To Competition|
|Group Rehearsals|

"listen girls im not gonna be here tomorrow Gia will be incharge tomorrow, no mother changes the costume no mother changes music no mother changes choreography and you are not doing a solo got it kiddo?" Abby directs the last bit to Kalani
Kalani nods and we leave studio A

"what's happening between you and Mads?" Kendall comes over to me

"did she tell you?" i ask

"no, Eloise did." Kendall corrects

"why did she- does everyone know?" i ask

"well all the girls know..and i'm assuming the whole studio is gonna know soon." Kendall says

"great..jeez thanks Eloise." i mumble

"look i don't know what actually happened and i'll probably never fully understand but maybe talk to Maddie, hear her out first." Kendall suggests

|Competition Day|
we arrive at the competition and we head to the dressing room

the girls get ready for their solos and they all soon perform

Kendall's dance was really nice this week
and her costume was really nice

Eloise performs next
and according to Abby she's broadways next star
but she probably won't beat Maddie
