"Guys, listen up." Kate said getting our attention
"Just got off the phone with the Internationals Board and they need the list of our dancers so we need to figure out who's going to replace Chloe." Kate told us then Cierra said something
"Um, I think we might need two dancers." Cierra said
"Why?" Kate asked her
"Well, you might be moving back to Madison. Right, Michelle?" Cierra said calling Michelle out
"I'm sorry, what?" Kate said
Michelle: I really wish Cierra didn't say anything because I have no idea what I'm going to do.
Eldon: I know she has family stuff to deal with but I thought dance was her passion.
"What are you doing?" Michelle asked Cierra to shut up
"Look, Michelle, I know you're an amazing dancer but this is a huge risk. This is Internationals. I want all 13 of us to be there. Right now, there just might be some other dancers that are more reliable." Cierra said and I rolled my eyes
Destiny: I feel like Cierra had no right to just tell the whole team Michelles buisness. Like Cierra I know you want you sister in A-Troupe but that doesnt mean tearing down someone else to do that
"Michelle, is this true?" Kate asked Michelle
"Well, yeah, my parents are getting a divorce and my mom is moving back to Madison and my dad's staying here. So I don't know who I'm staying with yet." Michelle answered Kates question
"So you are saying that you might not be coming to Internationals with the team?" Kate asked her
"I don't...I don't know."
Kate: I understand Michelle is torn but this is Internationals we're talking about. She needs to make a decision ASAP.
"Well, I'm sorry, but you are going to have to let me know by tomorrow, otherwise I'm going to have to replace you." Kate said then my eyes widened
Michelle: I'm really not ready to make this decision and I really wish I didn't have to.

"Do you know if your going back to Australia yet?" James asked me then I shook my head
James: I ask Destiny about her home situation becuase I know that we really need her at Internationals
"Nah. Ive been staying at my friends houses for abit. Im almost 18 so I can finally get my own house" I said then James nodded
"Do you know that you have to be 21 to buy a house in Canada" James said while I looked at him with my eyes squinting
"How about you stay with me for abit" James suggested
Destiny: When James asked me to stay with him its really shocking
"What?" I said laughing
"Destiny. Think about it. Two bestfriend living together?" James said trying to convince me
"I still dont know" I said still not convinced
"Destiny I need a room mate and your the perfect one. Just stay with me until you get your own space" James said then I looked at James who was desprate
"Fine" I said then James hugged me
"Yes" James said then he went to go to ask Riley if it was okay

As I was telling West about that James thing Noah randomly walked up to us
"Yo, West, you have a second?" Noah asked him
"Yeah. What's up, man?" West answered
Noah: I approach West for some advice on talking to Abi.
"I need some advice." Noah told West
West: The fact that Noah wants some advice from me makes sense cos I just give great advice.
Destiny: I feel bad for Noah. West is the worst at giving advice
"Let me guess it's about recycling." West asked then he shook his head and said "No"
"OK, it's about school. It's about school." West guessed again
"No." Noah answered... again
"OK, it's about your hair." West said then snapped his fingers
"Oh yeah. I see it now" I said tilting my head while Noah touched it
"I've been meaning to talk to you about your hair." West said then he was about yo say something but Noah inturupted him
"Actually, I think I'm good with the hair." Noah said a little offended "Honestly, honestly, it's about a girl."
"Ah. Just as I suspected. You came to the right person. Who's the girl?" West said taking out his phone
"Abi." Noah said
"Of course!" West said then rang someone
"Yo. Yo, who you calling?" Noah said seeing that West was on the phone
"Hey. Hey, James." West said
"My man over here's got a complicated girl problem.
Yeah. Yeah, he really likes her." West said then Noah tried taking the phone
"No, no, no."
"Obviously. It's Noah and Abi." West said
"No, no, no, no." Noah said atill trying to get the phone
"Yeah, I know." West luaghed
"Should I come talk to him myself?" James said walking in
"That's a perfect idea. I don't know why I didn't think of that myself" West said
"Oo. Tell James I said hi" I said to West
"Oh. Destiny says hi" West said still through the phone and Noah looked at us wierdly
"Hi Destiny" James said
"He said hi" West told me
"All right, West. I've got to go." James said then hanging up
"Just talk to her, man." James told Noah then smacking the back of his head
Noah: Tomorrow morning, I'm going to take West's advice or James' advice. I'm going to talk to Abi.

My mum called while I was in Hidolgos getting a juice for the new A-Trouper. I answered it but she was just really happy that I answered
Destiny: My mum is calling me and asking me to come back home but I just dont wanna face my dad
"Your dad is a changed man. Destiny please come back home" Mum said through the phone
"No. I have Internationals to go to. If he wants to go to Australia thats fine I dont care" I said to her then walking to a hallway
"Destiny. Please we want to be a family again and to do that we have to go back to Australia. Thats what your dad thinks is best" Mum said then I got so angery
"But dad also cheated you. I saw with my own two eyes that was also dads idea. He blamed me for you guys breaking up, he never went to any of my dance competitions not one, he is a bitch, a drunk and you wanna get back together with him. Your too pretty for him mum" I said then my mum went silent
"Destiny Im so sorry please come home" Mum said then a tear rolled down my eye
"Im sorry too. I love you mum but I just cant face dad. Im sorry" I said then I heard my mums sigh
"Ok. Bye princess" Mum said
"Bye" I said then hanging up and whiping away my tears then going to rehearsals

"All right, you guys. Let's get these auditions started. Clear the floor, please." Kate said
Kate: We're holding auditions for the Internationals team right now. Everyone will perform a solo in the hopes that they will make the 13th spot. Since it's so important for the team to mesh, the team will decide who gets into A-Troupe.
"All right, let's have Abi up first." Kate announced then Noah started clapping enthusiastically
"Whoa, Noah, chill." West said holding him back
Noah: Having Abi on the International team would help everyone.' Our chemistry is so strong, it would help all the dances.
Abi: I'm feeling so good right now and I'm really glad that I came out to audition. I owe it all to Noah.
Noah: Abi's doing amazing on her solo. It's so strong and she's ripping it. I think she has a chance.
Noah started smiling like crazy. Hitting me trying to show me how good she was "Noah. Relax" Eldon mouthed at him
When Abi's solo finished, Noah started yelling "Whooo" He said clapping
"Noah!" Eldon, West and I yell at him
Kate: Shannon is a very strong member of Elite but in previous auditions her nerves have gotten the better of her. But, today, her confidence is so strong, I could see her being a possible replacement for Chloe.
Skyler: My sister's done so much for me. She's the main reason I'm able to audition today. If I make the Internationals team it would mean everything to me. I'd get to dance with my sister and I'd achieve one of my ultimate goals.
Cierra: I'm so happy Skylar gets to audition today. I'd love it if we were on the same team.
Stephanie: Watching the competition is really nerve-racking for me. I mean, everybody is so amazing and I'm just scared that I might not measure up.
"Great. Let's have Jake up next." Kate said then someone walked in
"The auditions are in here, right?" Daniel said mocking Michelle
"He did not" I whispered to Michelle whos mouth was wide open
Daniel: That's right, I'm back.
Phoebe: Look what the cat dragged in. Daniel. Now what?
Kate: He has proven time and time again that he does not care about the team.
Giselle: He only cares about himself. He cannot audition. It's a huge no.
"So, Kate, where can you fit me in the line-up?" Daniel asked cockily
"I'm a little surprised to see you here, actually." Kate said
"Well, The Next Step can't win Internationals without me, so..." Daniel said then I scoffed about to throw my shoe at Daniel
Daniel: I'm confident because I've seen these other dancers before and I know what I have that they don't. They don't have a dancer like me. They really do need me.
"Your joking right? We dont need a ankle breaking machine to win..." I said stepping forward and James inturupted me
"No, no, no. Let him dance. This'll be fun." James said and I looked at him then he nodded so I stepped back
James: Honestly, I want Daniel to audition because I know he's not getting in. He has messed with The Next Step too many times.
"How many people here want to see Daniel audition...again?" James said and everyone agreed
"Down? All right, let it happen." James protested
"All right, fine. You can go right before Stephanie." Kate finally agreed
"Great, thank you." Daniel said amd going to a bench
"OK, Jake, let's have you up next, please." Kate said and Jake went to the center on the studio
Daniel: I'm basically out of options and I don't want anyone else to see that.
Jake: As I dance, I just feel really free. Nothing else is on my mind. Just me and my dance.
Eldon: Jake is really good. He has his own style, which is really like in and down, he does a lot of shoulders. I really like Jake. We could use a new guy in A-Troupe. To make it on the Internationals team, it would be so great. Such a great accomplishment.
Jake: That's why I transferred from my last studio to move on and do bigger and better things.
"Daniel, please take the floor."
Daniel: This solo is really a reflection of me. Dancing who I truly am without all the attitude and anger layered on. I really miss who I used to be and it hasn't really worked out well for me, this new competitive edge. I've had a really tough time since leaving The Next Step. I've been cut from Juilliard, I've been defeated by Lucien, I've lost all my friends.
Destiny: As much as I don't like to admit that Daniel is great, he is and he would definitely add an element to our team for Internationals.
Daniel: I really want to be the reason that they win Internationals.
"OK, and last but definitely not least, Miss Stephanie." Kate said and we all cheered for her
Stephanie: I'm just really scared that my chances of being in A-Troupe again might be ruined. As I'm dancing, I'm feeling really confident. I'm hitting everything perfectly. I really hope that everybody can see how hard I've been working and how much I've improved.
Eldon: Watching Stephanie dance is really refreshing. I haven't seen her dance in a long time and it's just nice to see her show her passion again.
Destiny: Stephanies solo is amazing. She has improved so much and I just cant believe that, that was a B- Troupe dancer becuase for me its an A-Trouper
Daniel: I'm a little worried watching Stephanie dance. She has actually improved. It seems that she's been working really hard in B-Troupe.
Stephanie: I guess I just realised that if you want something, you have to go for it and this is what I really, really want.
James: Even though Stephanie got moved down to B-Troupe, she's always been a part of this team.
Destiny: Stephanie would be perfect to fill the last spot in A-Troupe.
"OK, I think we all know who the new member of A-Troupe is." Kate said then we all looked at Stephanie
Giselle: Stephanie is the right choice.
"Congratulations, Stephanie!" James yelled and we all ran up to her
Stephanie: I'm ecstatic, I'm floored. I was so scared of disappointment that I wasn't even going to audition.
Daniel: I'm really heartbroken but not that surprised. I have been mean and selfish in the past but I kind of hoped that some of my old friends would still have my back.
Kate: I'm so happy that Stephanie is the new member of the Internationals team. It's just like having our old family back together again.
Stephanie: I'm really glad Emily made me audition. I'm just so happy to be back.
