Kate walked out of the office and into Studio A, and looked around.
"Let's do this!" She exclaimed. The dancers came out one by one, each dancing their fullest. First is West, who runs into the studio, doing tricks and flips.
"I make it into A-troupe, and I'm so excited. I just wanna do backflips all the way home." He states. Next is Emily, who jumps in.
"Honestly, I been in A-troupe for so long now, I know I'm going to be Dance Captain this season. Its not even a question!" She says proudly. Then Eldon leaps in, doing pirouettes and other tricks.
"When I saw that I made it into A-troupe, I was so happy! I mean that's a whole other year I get to spend with Emily, and that's a whole other year I get to ask her out." He smiles happily. Michelle runs in.
"When I find out that I made it into A-troupe, I'm bursting with joy!" She exclaimed. She dances her fullest with Emily watching her with a hint of jealousy on her face.
"She's not that good. So I don't really get why she's here." Emily retorted.
"She just has that WOW factor." Kate explained. Stephanie flips in.
"The fact that Michelle just got thrown into A-troupe, I'm scared that she's gonna throw our family off balance." Stephanie worries. "It might affect us as dancers for Regionals." Daniel does a bunch of tricks.
"I'm so happy! This is everything I've worked for, and it's the first step in becoming a professional dancer for me, so I'm really, really happy." He says excitedly. Next is Chloe, who dances in.
"I'm ecstatic! I'm finally part of A-troupe, and I'm finally part of the E-Girls." She says happily. James dances in doing a backflips and a handstand.
"When I see that I made into A-troupe, I'm not really that surprised, but I feel great!" He boasts. Riley turns in.
"Getting into A-troupe is the best. I mean, that's another year I get to be with my sister, be with my friends…" She exclaimed. Finally, Tiffany ran in.
"When I learn that I made it into A-troupe, I'm super stoked. And I'm ready to start rehearsing, and I can't wait for Regionals!" She rubs her hands together.
"I'm super confident in our A-troupe this year, I'm so excited just watching them and thinking about the potential for Regionals!" Kate explained excitedly.
Giselle looked forlornly at the clipboard with the list of the dancers who made it into A-troupe this year. It said: The Next Step, A-troupe 2015.
West
Emily
Eldon
Michelle
Stephanie
Daniel
Chloe
James
Riley
Tiffany
Her name wasn't on it. She didn't make it into A-troupe.
"I can't believe that I'm not on A-troupe this year." She says sadly, a tear dripping down her face.
*Main Theme*
All the dancers who made it into A-troupe whoop and cheer, while the ones who didn't walk away. Giselle was one of them.
"Being on A-troupe is an honor, because you have to work for it, and you have to work to stay in it." Riley explained. Emily turns and walked away from the list, only in the opposite direction from the ones who didn't make it into A-troupe.
"Obviously," she gloats, while walking over and hugging all of the E-Girls, minus Giselle. "I deserve it, I work hard, I pretty much am A-troupe!" She gloats again. All the new A-troupe members hug each other, and watch the B-troupers.
"When I see B-troupe, I'm thinking I used to be one of them, but now I'm here, I'm fierce." West states proudly. Emily hugs Giselle, who was silently crying, while the E-Girls watch.
"I can't believe Ellie didn't make it into A-troupe this year. She's amazing, and…I feel really bad for her." Stephanie replies apologetically.
"You deserve to be here. You're a great dancer and you deserve to be here, not Michelle." Emily reassures Giselle/Ellie.
"I feel like I could've tried harder." Giselle cried into Emily's shoulder. Emily swiftly patted her back to comfort her.
Time Skip-
Chloe's POV
I'm sitting in Squeezed with Emily and the rest of the E-Girls, except for Riley, because she was buying the juice. We were all talking to each other, getting in on the latest gossip when Michelle walks over and sits down next to me. All of us E-Girls stop talking and looked away awkwardly.
"Is it okay for me to sit here or what?" Michelle asks.
"Actually that seats for Riley, sorry." Stephanie answered.
"Oh okay." She replied. There was a hint of sadness in her voice, as she got up and walked away. I couldn't help but feel bad for her. I mean she is new here, she's just trying to find a way to fit in here at The Next Step Dance Studio, but I can't say anything, because if I do, Emily will probably have my head. So I just shrug the feeling off and go back to talking with the E-Girls.
Michelle's POV
I tried to talk to the E-Girls, but they pretty much just shook me off, so if I can't make friends with the girls first, then I'll start with the boys. I spot West sitting at the counter, so I guess I'll start with him. I walk over to West and sit down.
"Don't worry, the E-Girls only let other E-Girls sit there. I mean, I could've sat there, but I'd rather be sitting here, with my Squeezed." West told me. I guess he saw the incident with the E-Girls.
"Yeah," I replied.
West's POV
I don't know the E-Girls, other than the fact that I don't want to know the E-Girls, because they're just… Dangerous. So I really don't blame Michelle for sitting here next to me, instead of staying with them.
"I mean, if you want, I can dress up like a girl. Got a dress in my bag." I joke. Don't ask why.
"No, no, that's okay." She replied, laughing at my joke.
Meanwhile in the office-
Kate's POV
"Dance Captain, who's gonna be Dance Captain this year?" Chris wondered.
"Emily of course." I respond. She was DC last year, I know she can do it this year. She's clean, she's focused, and I know in the end she wants to win.
"Well, I think we should pick someone else, you know fresh year, fresh start, fresh Dance Captain. If it were up to me, I'd chose Michelle in a heartbeat." Chris informed me.
"Why would you pick Michelle so fast you hardly know her. We don't know anything about Michelle, how would you automatically make her the Dance Captain?" I question his motives.
"Well she was Dance Captain in her old studio, so I'd love to see what she can do for ours." He replied. He had a point there. Suddenly, an idea popped into my head.
"Okay, here's what we'll do. We'll split the team up into 2 separate groups of 5, with Michelle in one group, and Emily in the other. We let them choreograph their own unique dances, and have a few hours to rehearse, then both groups will perform for you and I. Whoever has the better dance will be our Dance Captain." I explain my plan to Chris.
"Sounds like a great plan. Let's do it!" Chris agreed. We walked out of the office and into studio A where all the A-troupe dancers were waiting for us.
No POV
"Alright, dancers! Listen up!" Chris yells to get the dancer's attention.
"It's a new year, which means it's time to pick a Dance Captain." Kate explained. Emily stepped forward.
"Let's just get it over with." She said confidently, but Kate stopped her.
"Actually, we're doing it a bit differently this year. Michelle, would you like to become Dance Captain?" Kate asked. Emily looked slack-jawed at Michelle.
"I…I…I," Michelle started to stutter. (A/N: Haha, Season 1.5 reference! Also one of my favorite songs!)
"Would you still like to be a part of A-troupe?" Kate questioned.
"Yes, definitely!" Michelle answered quickly. Emily's mouths went even more slack-jawed.
"Okay then it's official, Emily and Michelle will compete to see who will become Dance Captain." Kate concluded. "If Michelle thinks she's going to take my spot as Dance Captain, bring it on." Emily thought.
Well there's chapter 2! Emily is mad. Those of you who watch TNS, you probably already know what will happen, but for those of you who don't, what do you think will happen? Sorry if there are a few mistakes about what is said and what happens in this episode. I haven't seen it in a while. Anyway, please review!
