"come on girls let's go!" Abby calls
"okay..let's talk about about Woodbridge Virginia, you're a tenth of a point loser it's time to cowboy up here, Abby Lee Dance Company is somebody to beat they're not thrilled that they won they're thrilled that they beat you! you need to challenge yourself so if your legs here find the girl in class who's leg is here and go stand next to her at the barre that's how you get better you have to win more than i want it for you"
"now i want to talk about this week..we will be travelling to Ohio, we might see Kendall and we might see Vivi-Anne all i know is that The Abby Lee Dance Company will be so hot they will become Apple Pie and the group is going to be like the Alamo"
"the name of the group dance is Land Unforgiving, it's about territory we're going to Cathy's territory we're going to stick a stake into that beef jerky everybody standing before me is in that group dance however i'm going to bring a few ringers in just like the wicked witch of the west so let's get to the bottom of the pyramid"
"Brooke, you're still on probation"
"next we have Mackenzie, how did you get down there what happened?"
Abby then demonstrates chewing gum
"how many times did i tell you to spit your gum out?"
"maybe ten" Kenzie says
"so that's nine times to many" Abby says
"next..Nia i think you're there because you had a hard time with those turns and it was your legs that needed straightened so all that technique you worked on..what happened?"
"next we have Paige, you see that probation sticker hopefully that's going to come off there."
"next we have Camila, you didn't have a solo you looked good in the group."
i nod
"next we have Chloe, the group dance is where you made the mistake..solo was good"
"first person on top of the pyramid is Maddie..and the second person on top of the pyramid is also Maddie."
i make a confused face
this is like Abbys dream pyramid
"now i want to congratulate Maddie two crowns two titles in less than two hours that's pretty darn good."
Maddie
Chloe Camila
Paige Nia Mackenzie Brooke
"Paige you're eleven you're going to be our title entrant nine to eleven" Abby says
we clap for Paige
"you will be doing Tongue Twister it's your responsibility to know it..she will not have a rehearsal she's welcome to use the studio she has to get here on her own and i want to see a crown on your head do you understand..alright i'm going to take this probation sticker off right now"
i hug Paige and we cheer
"Chloe you will also be doing a solo it's entitled Angry Bird..alright so ladies you are dismissed thank you"
|Group Rehearsals|
"girls listen to me we're going to our next door neighbour and we are in their territory she always throws those ringers in there im going to pull three ringers in two.i would like to introduce Katherine from the elite company and this is Ariel from the teen company and this is Nina who you all know from the senior company" Abby says
we clap for the three girls
we then learn the routine and it's very pretty and the older girls are such good dancers
"ball change use your pile don't dance like a stick Chloe" Abby calls out
|Competition Day|
we arrive at the competition and the building is super cool
"the competition is a ahead of schedule they're running ahead of schedule by thirty minutes" Abby say
mom rushes to get Chloe ready
"i like your costume this week" i say
"thank you" Chloe says
"it's super cool Chlo" mom says
we go the audience to watch the solos
and basically
Chloe nailed her solo but her earring fell out
Paige changed her number...(Kelly's doing)
and Kendall's solo music skipped.
moral of the story the solos were a disaster
we go back to the dressing room and i hug Chloe and Paige
"Paige, what we're you doing out there? soon as you started and it was the wrong pose on the chair i was like what is she doing out there" Abby says
"well you told her to work on it herself so we worked on it at home" Kelly says
"Paige you have to realise when you're up for a title you want to do a flawless routine." Abby says
"maybe her teacher should work with her more then we will do the dance that you choreographed" Kelly says
"Kelly stop with the we it's not about you it's about Paige..you have to trust that i know what im doing" Abby says
"Paige's goal was to go out to do a dance that she felt like was pushing herself" Kelly says
"what was wrong with the one i choreographed besides your mother's opinion what else?" Abby asks
"cause i do easy steps" Paige says
"because you do easy steps?" Abby says
"i just wanted to be challenged more" Paige says
"you can't send her for a title, and not have anything in it" Kelly says
"the things she put in it were a mess!" Abby says
"if she doesn't challenge herself she isn't going to get any better at anything." Kelly says
"i don't want to put her on the stage making her to do things she's not ready to do, i want her to do what she does well..is she capable of more? absolutely! but what i gave her was clean and it would've clearly beat Kendall..she went behind my back and you as a parent condoned it! how dare you!" Abby yells
Holly starts to get us out of the room
"what about Paige?" i ask
"she'll be okay." Holly says
we then come back and we get ready for the group routine
Candy Apples perform first
and i thought the were good
and i really thought Kendall stood out
"next is entry 404a Land Unforgiving" the announcer says
we all enter the stage and i make sure i do everything right
and that i look good..i think we all did a great job with it?
|Awards|

"Next star nine to eleven small groups top five" the announcer says
"fifth place..404a Land Unforgiving"
i clap and Kenzie gets our award

we come back to the dressing room chanting
"chop chop chop chop!" we chant
