Disclaimer: I do not own The Next Step, or its characters. I only own this story

Summary: Charlie, Hunter and Giselle are here in A-Troupe not in B-Troupe or not at all, everyone but Michelle and Hunter have been friends since they were born, Michelle and Hunter are Twins, Emily is nice and not bossy, and there is no talking to the camera. As well as Chloe is not poor and Riley is a mean person.

Michelle Point of View

As I walked into Studio A, I could see to see Emily, Giselle, Chloe, Tiffany, and Stephanie talking, Eldon, Daniel, and Charlie stretch, and my brother, West, and James performing tricks, but Riley is nowhere to be seen, which is not normal, as Riley always here before everyone. Kate and Chris came out of Kate's office as everyone started to get into formation to start the dance. Kate says that Riley has left to go to Life of Dance. I turn to look at Emily, but all she had on her face was shock, as I thought of the reason why she could have left the next step. Emily spoke out and said "Before any of you ask, I do not know why Riley has left, but we will need two new routines as Riley has left". Then we started coming up with the routines for Regionals.

For the next two months we have been coming up with two new routines. One is completely polished off and the second is nearly polished off. So we are nearly done with the routine now we just have to come up with costumes. James, Eldon, Emily and I are sitting at Squeezed talking about what the costumes should be like when Riley enters the conversation quickly changes to why she would be here. But the worse thing is she walking right over here and says "Hi guys, should you not be practicing as Regionals right around the corner" I find this a bit suspicious "We have a day off today as Kate and Chris have a junior competition that they are at so A-Troupe have the day off" Emily said, I never heard Emily speak like that towards her sister.

After our incident with Riley we practice hard as I told them that Life of Dance won Nationals last year, and know that we will not see Life of Dance until the Nationals. Everyone still wondering why Riley left the Studio, everything good right now as there are dance partners that is not at nationals as it mainly female competitors. After Riley left Emily, and Eldon started to date each other, so did Daniel and Chloe, Stephanie and West, Giselle and Charlie, Tiffany and my brother, and for me and James we are not going to happen we are just good friends. Ok, that's a lie my best friend Emily and my brother Hunter know differently that I have the hugest crush on James. Not my fault he just so dreamy and good looking, But enough of that today is a good day today we get our costumes for our first dance the costumes is going to be very military style, and our last dance is going to Romeo and Juliette type of dance with James and myself as Romeo and Juliette. Juliette father is Hunter, Juliette mother is Emily, Romeo father is Eldon, Romeo mother is Tiffany, Mercutio is West, Tybalt is Daniel, The Nurse is Stephanie, Benvolio is Charlie, the judges say if we have more dancers than we can have different people on so Chloe and Giselle will sit out of the last dance.

Today is the day we are going to Regionals. Everyone is excited to go, I walk into the Studio B, Emily, Tiffany, Stephanie, Chloe, Giselle, and Hunter are there already. It's not too long until Eldon, West, Daniel, and Charlie to arrive. A few minutes later, James arrives and so does Kate and Chris. None of the dancer knows how we are travelling. I am brought out of my thoughts, "We are travelling by bus you will be partnered up so first off Emily, and Eldon you are in seats 1C and 1D, Hunter and Tiffany you are 2C and 2D, Stephanie and West you are 2A and 2B, Charlie and Giselle you are 3C and 3D, Daniel and Chloe you are 4C and 4D, and Michelle and James you are 3A and 3B Chris and I will be in 1A and 1B, Let's go to Regionals".

As we are on the bus I was admiring the view outside I did not know how beautiful the landscape was when I was pulled out of my thoughts by James saying "Kate and Chris have been acting strange lately like dating strange do you reckon Michelle" That was shocking, but they have been acting strange lately "Yyyyyeah, I reckon", James replied to that was not what I expected " Do you reckon they are actually dating each other?" That is one thing I would never of thought of "Maybe" for the rest of the trip James and myself talked. Before we knew it, we were at the hotel, Kate check us in then gave us our room key likely I only have to share with Emily and Chloe, Then there was Hunter, Eldon and Charlie in the room across from mine, James, Daniel and West in the room next to mine, and Stephanie, Giselle and Tiffany in the room next to my brother.

Emily, Chloe and I walk into our room and took the bed closes to the wall with Chloe across from me on the wall as well and Emily bed is against the window. Once we had finished unpacking and getting settled in we walk down to the dining area I sat next to James and Emily, with Eldon, Hunter and Tiffany sat across from me. We all had roast lamb for our main meal with different dessert. I am hoping for a good night's sleep as tomorrow is The first round of Regionals.
