A/N This is a crossover of The Next Step and the Lost And Found Music Studios. This is my first fanfic. It will sort of be a series of one shots but the storylines will continue throughout. All ideas are welcome. I live in the UK so I haven't seen Season 4.5 of TNS but have nearly seen Season 1.5/Season 2 of L+F. So I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense or if I accidently reveal any spoilers. I have spoiled L+F for myself (oops), while trying to find out when it comes back to the UK. This series will be set just after Clara leaves L+F and John reveals about his mum, and Piper has just seen Alfie kissing Riley. Each chapter/one shot will be either based on TNS or L+F but characters from both shows will pop in and out and there might be relationships between characters from TNS and L+F. Please note that I do not own any of the characters. And if there are any triggers, please feel free to pm me, I am always here to talk to and to listen to as some of the storylines, have happened to me personally. There isn't much triggers in this chapter, however there will some later on.

Piper POV

I was walking past Studio A, to speak to Riley about the duet with Alfie when I saw the tow of them KISSING! How could she do that to James!? I know what happened just before nationals between James and Beth, but that wasn't his fault and it doesn't give Riley to cheat on him. Two wrongs don't make a right! I don't know what to do. I need to speak to Zero Percent.

Sloane's POV

Amy, Cassie, Skylar and I were sitting in Java Junction when Piper came in. I could she looked upset. "Hey Piper, what's wrong?" I asked, concerned about my friend.

"I need to talk you guys," replied Piper, "it's important" she said lowering her voice. Amy and Cassie had realised that something was wrong.

"Come on guys lets go to the lounge" I said. Amy and Cassie followed, "Sorry Skylar," I heard one of them say. I did feel bad about Skylar, but she made her decision, we offered her a place in the Zero Percent club but she decided she didn't want to be involved in a 'clique'.

We came into the lounge, it was empty. "So what's happened" asked Amy.

Piper's POV

Me and the other zero percenters were in the lounge. I wasn't sure if I should tell them or not, but this is why we made the zero percent club, so we can talk about our problems in confidence and we can support and help each other. "I was walking to Studio A, to speak to Riley about the duet with Alfie, and...and...I..I.."

"It's, ok Piper, we're her for you no matter what?" asked Cassie. I couldn't get the words out. Tears were filling my eyes, I can't get the image out my head.

"I saw...I saw...saw Riley and Alfie kissing!"

"WHAT!" Shouted Sloane.

"NO WAY!" Shouted Cassie.

"Are you being serious?" Asked Amy.

"Believe me I'm just as shocked as you guys. I just don't get why she would do that to James." I said as I sat down, trying to hold back the tears, but they had already started rolling down my cheeks. "I don't know what to do." Amy sat down next to me.

"You have to tell James he-." she said.

"No! It should come from Riley. She's the one in the wrong not you Piper" Sloane interrupted.

"I'm so confused. If I tell James it'll will hurt, I may feel better at the thought of him knowing but he, West and Eldon have just got through the first round of the hip hop competition, he face times me every night to tell me how much fun they're all having. He needs to concentrate on the competition and if I tell him he will just get distracted from dance. I can't ruin it for him, this competition means so much. If I tell him and he isn't focused on dance and loses the competition he'll blame himself for letting West and Eldon down."

"But it wouldn't be his fault or yours! It would be Riley and Alfie's." said Cassie.

"I know," I replied, "but James wouldn't see it like that, he loves Riley too much to blame her. He wouldn't even blame Alfie. He'll blame himself for not being here at The Next Step, he told me how he feels bad for leaving Riley when she became studio head. He'll feel like he didn't do enough right or that he has failed as a boyfriend."

"And what if you don't tell James?" asked Amy.

"Well if I don't, he'll be able to do the competitions without any distractions, but when he comes back he'll find out. And what if he finds out that I've known all along he'll never speak to me again. Maybe telling him now will give him time to think, to talk with the boys, I know James, he's my brother. And if he finds out when he comes back whether, it's from me, Riley, Alfie or even someone in the studio - don't think that I don't trust you, I do, but Riley and Alfie clearly weren't careful kissing in the studio, anyone could've seen them, and we all know how fast gossip spreads around here not just at TNS but at Lost And Found as well, and that's were James' band goes to, all four of them are really close. OH NO! What if James gets distracted from the band, they've got loads of gigs coming up, they've been rehearsing without James for now, but when he comes back he's going to have to catch up with the rehearsals and he'll get distracted and he'll blame himself. Ugh, back to what I was saying, if James finds out and doesn't have any time to think things through, I can only imagine what he'll do to Alfie. I know James, I've seen him hit rock bottom, I've seen him at his worse and I've seen him in his most darkest times, and it's not nice. I don't want him to go back to that. I don't want to see him in all that pain again. I don't want my mom to go through it all again"

"I think you should just have it out with Riley! That's what I would do! She's a cheat! and a liar! And Alfie is just as bad!" protested Sloane.

"Sloane, calm down," said Amy firmly, "this isn't about you or anyone else. This is about Piper, and helping her decide what's best for James. Piper maybe you should tell James, it'll be better coming from you, you're his sister. Like you said, anyone could've have seen them. It's best coming from you, just so he knows that he someone there to support him through this the way you have us to for support."

"Ok," I said in a hushed tone, wiping my eyes " I'll tell him tonight. Anyway I best be going my mom, is picking me up tonight, were going to aunt Kathy's, she and Arthur have just finished decorating their new home and have invited us to dinner that and to celebrate the boys getting through the first round and me getting selected for A Troupe also Riley taking over as studio head. My mom treats her like a second daughter. I'm just going to have to keep it cool. Bye I'll tell you how it goes tomorrow, don't tell anyone though."

"Same my mom will freak if I'm late bye guys." said Cassie, Amy and Sloane said bye as well and we all left the lounge to go home.

Riley's POV

I can't believe what I have just done. I know it's wrong. But I couldn't help myself. My feelings for Alfie are so strong. James isn't here and Alfie has been the only one who has supported me since I took over.

"So you do have feelings for me?" Alfie said.

"No...yes...no...I mean I don't know...I'm with James we should never off kissed! I feel so bad. But I can't help feeling this way about you. I sort of want to kiss you again."

"So that's a yes," Alfie smiled. "Don't feel guilty, I want us to kiss again. I really like you Riley. I want you to be with me. I want to be your boyfriend, I want people to know about us, I don't want to sneak around pretending that we're just friends. I don't want you to worry about what James will say." His eyes were so big, he was pleading with me to be his girlfriend. I feel the same way. I love James, but he left me to go to London with West and Eldon. Alfie was the only one who was there for me. He is sensitive and mature, James thinks everything is a joke.

"Alfie...I want all that too. When James gets back from London...I'm going to...I'm going to tell him about...us. But you have to promise me that you won't say anything to anyone until James knows. He has to hear it from me, no one else, I owe him that much. And you-"

"I promise I won't say anything. Oh Riley thank you! This is great I thought you were going to reject me or think I sounded desperate-" Alfie was speaking so quickly, it was if the words were just pouring out of his mouth, like he couldn't control himself.

"Alfie listen!" Alfie stopped and stared, "You have to understand that James," I continued, "James is very popular here both within TNS and L+F, he'd do anything for me. He is really good friends with Michelle, Amanda and Noah, and the dancers that were on B-Troupe last year, they have known James a lot longer than you. He is also very close with his band, and Piper. Alfie you need to understand that the duet between you and Piper may not happen. She and James are so close and would do anything for each other. Once this is out, James may not be on A Troupe anymore and he may leave TNS and never acknowledge me and you ever again. But Piper will never ever forgive and she is on A Troupe. You need to understand that you may not be liked very much when this all comes out. People are going to be very angry with both me and you." I paused to let him take it all in. "Are you prepared to risk all of that?" He was looking down now.

"Yes." he replied, "I don't care if Piper doesn't want to do a duet with me, I don't care if people like me, as long as I have you."

"Okay. When James comes home I'll tell him, anyway it's getting late. You best be going. I've just got to look over some letters for regionals and some emails about the studio that Miss Kate sent me. And then I've got to go to James' aunt's house, I promised Piper I would go so she has someone to talk to"

"Okay. Goodnight. I'll see you tomorrow" We kissed once more and he left. In a way I'm flattered about all of those wonderful things Alfie said, but I can't help but feel guilty about how much this is going to hurt James.

Hey Riley, I got good news! Me, West and Eldon have passed the 1st round. I'm coming home tomorrow for a quick visit, to see aunt Kathy and Arthur's new home, Piper, mom and of course you. love you xxx

Oh no! James is coming back tomorrow. I really don't know what to do right now, I know Alfie said he promised not to mention anything about us until James knew, and he is so excited to tell everyone. But I can't tell James TOMORROW! I don't know what I'm going to say! He's going to be so happy about the hip hop competition and to see everyone and I'm going to ruin everything. And even worse Eldon and West will be there as well! I know it sounds wrong, but I hope there flight is delayed or something because I am just so not ready for this.

Piper POV

I'm back home after dinner. I'm all ready for bed and about to face time James when he suddenly texts me

Hey baby sis. Guess what I''ll be home tomorrow morning, don't tell mom I want it to be surprise. I wanted it to be a surprise for you as well, but I kind of left my keys at home when I left so I'll need you to let me in. I'm going to come down see you and then we'll go to TNS see how regionals routines and see Riley and then I'm gonna be back home before mom finishes work so I can surprise her, anyway love you baby sis xx :)

Maybe It would be best to tell him face to face. He shouldn't have to be on 7 & a half flight with this going around his head. And I need to think about how I'm going to break this to him.

A/N so that's the first chapter done. Please if you felt triggered m me if you want to, I am always here to listen. I hope you like the first chapter. Again I haven't seen anything after Piper sees Ralfie kiss so don't know how James actually finds out. If you have any ideas that you would like me to write about please pm me. Please leave a review. Both negative and positive reviews, your positive reviews will make me happy and your negative reviews will help me to improve. The next chapter will be the fall out of Ralfie and after that I will be doing a L+F chapter.
