"I can't wait to see what the studio looks like" Melissa said as we walked into the big gilding that we are going to rehearse at for the week.
"Hello ladies, come on in" mis Abby said as we walked into the dance room, it's a red room. "Here we are in another studio, another week. We need to learn a new group routine. This is tough, we have to do it today, and there's props, now I want to reflect a little bit on the past two weeks." Miss Abby said and she didn't look well. She looks sick but also disappointed.
"I keep telling you guys, you have been given an amazing opportunity, you've been hand selected to go across the country and learn a new number each week and do these competitions. And you are not stepping up to the plate. I want to see energy, enthusiasm, fun, if you don't want to do it, there's probably 100 other kids that would love to be in your shoes right now" miss Abby said to us.
"So I need to see motivation. I want you to want to win. This is my reputation on the line, it's my name, but by now, it's also your names. So I'm gonna start now with Paige" miss Abby said uncovering her face to be the bottom of the pyramid.
"Moving on, Mackenzie, Nia, Kennedy next we have Chloe, Brooke, and back on top, we have Maddie. Your doing your solo and a duet with Chloe, Chloe you will also be doing your solo, Paige and Brooke, I'm giving you a duet, I want you to work together as friends. I do not want you fighting as sister, if you waist time and energy bickering back and forth your never gonna get it finished. Everyone is in the group number this week, even Mackenzie" miss Abby told us and some of us clapped, I'm kinda sad that I don't get a solo, I think it's because I got 4th, but miss Abby says how she wants us to win, we're at a national's competition and that's the choreography she gives me?
"Every single one of you are an important part of this dance, and in a group routine, everybody needs to pull there weight. And I'm telling you what, we need to win. Alright let's get to work. Let's get moving" miss Abby says and we grab our bags and leave the room to get changed.

"Alright ladies, the group routine is called 'beautiful'" miss Abby tells us as we're all stretching and warming up. "And what it's about is not how pretty your gonna be in your costumes, not how pretty your hair is, but what's on the inside. And it's about taking a good look in the mirror, not a what you see, but like, the internal mirror, are you getting any of this Mackenzie? Yeah, it's a little deep." Miss Abby said to us.
She then handed out mirror and that's our props. This dance is very pretty.

"This week we're at the real nationals and it's a lot of pressure, miss Abby and Gianna want us to be perfect but all there doing is yelling at us."
I'm kinda bummed that I don't get a solo this week or even a duet, I know I could've don't better but that dance wasn't really enough to show what I can do to get higher than 4th.

"Come on girls, everybody got a towel?" Miss Abby asked us as we got into the van. Today miss Abby decided to take us to the beach.
"Girls, I brought you here because I'm so tired of you just being in a hotel ball room. And a competition, you need to see the world" miss Abby said to us. She did some stretching exercises with us and then took Chloe to go talk.
***
Today the moms brought us to a bowling place and it was a lot of fun. When Paige got a strike and I was standing behind her she practically jumped on me knocking us over but it was so funny.
Then Maddie and Mackenzie dad showed up and Melissa and him started arguing. This can't be good.

Competition day!!
Today is the final national so this is a big deal, we have to win.
When we were in the dressing room getting ready Kurt, who is Maddie and Mackenzies father walks into the room.
They talks and you could tell that Maddie didn't want him here. When he left Gianna finished her makeup and took her and Chloe to the stage. My mom took me and Kenzie to watch because we're only in the group and don't have a special part. My mom was not very happy about me not getting a solo.
Maddie was first.
She was so pretty.
Next up is Chloe. They are competing against each other. Again.
She then forgot her dance, I felt so bad for her because she deserved to win.
***
Now it's time for the awards and to find out who the winners are.
Maddie got first place and I cheered for her. Chloe got 7th which is god because she still placed.
***
Next up where the duets and I was in the crowd again watching and cheering as Brooke and Paige came on stage.
They danced together really good seeing as they had no time to actually rehearse.
Next was Maddie as Chloe do there duet.
Chloe dance red her part so we'll and I was so proud of her.
Now it's time for awards, I feel bad for Kelly because Miss Abby definitely favourite Maddie, and Paige and Brooke not so much.
Paige and Brooke got 5th for there duet.
Chloe and Maddie got 1st for there duet.
Now we're back in the dressing room getting dressed for the group dance.
The costume:
There was so much drama with Kurt and I knew this wasn't good, we were just about to go on stage.
***
The girls and I are now back stage and we need to win or miss Abby will be fuming. We did the nerves shake and then we were called on stage.
We ended up winning by one point and I was so happy. We did so good, we won the whole thing.
Once we got back to the dressing room, miss Abby announced that we're going back to LA.
The girls and I cheered as the moms didn't look very happy. Not gonna lie, I miss Pittsburg, my dad, my brother, and my dog Ollie was there, my family.
