Finally, it was Lu$h Crew and the Chandelier Crew's turn. The boys danced to Grenade. Angel got 5 stars and Diablo got only 1.
Aubrey closed her eyes and sighed. It was her turn. She tried not to get too mad at her rivals. She went on stage and faced her worst enemy #1, Makara, and said, "Makara, you're going DOWN! I'm not gonna let a little fall stop me! And if you truly think you're safe just because the announcer said Emilia was lying, you're wrong. I'll be sure your behind bars when we're done here! That'll be the icing on my little cake of revenge I have for you!"
"Whatever! Aubrae! HAHAHAHA!" Makara said with her nose in the air.
"First of all, it's pronounced AubREY, but you also forgot the MISS part."
"Fine…AubRAE!"
The music started and the girls shut up and danced to Paparazzi, on hard. Despite her pain, Aubrey danced on. She wanted victory. She danced intently with her gold dress swaying around and her little bruised ankles and knees showing. Every time she clapped her hands, her wrist hurt. She clinched her teeth in both anger and agony. She glanced at the boom box and said to herself, "Dance on Aubrey, come on girl!"
"You can do it!" Emilia and Bodie shouted from the audience. And Aubrey did do it. She almost couldn't believe it! When she looked at the golden boombox, there were five gold stars.
"AUUUHHHH! Aubrae, how could you! You're not a real crew, you're just a joke! And a very sad, funny one, too!" Makara looked at her boombox, only 2 ½ stars twinkled.
"Oh what? Jealous that you just got beat by a broken girl?" Aubrey not only had more stars, but hers were brighter, shinier and just overall prettier , a lot like she felt she was compared to Makara!
"No!" Makara was lying.
"Alrighty, so it looks like now we move on to the Freestyle Routine."
All the crews from Dance Central danced as one, big, powerful crew. This was the first time all the DC crews danced as one crew. It felt amazing to everybody to be a part of this. They totally killed it on the dance floor!
Each crew did their well-rehearsed Freestyle Routine. It was all going well until it didn't. Miss Aubrey tried to do a spin. Her ankles gave out on her and her knees buckled and she fell.
"Ouch!" Miss Aubrey cried out. Tears rushed down her face.
Soon, ALL the DC crews came over to support her. It felt awkward and amazing all at once.
"Are you okay?!" Emilia said.
"No! well, I am. I'm a failure to my crew and to this big crew we formed and I'm no longer the pretty, graceful princess I used to be! BOOHOOHOO!" Aubrey cried even harder.
"Oh Aubrey, you're always gonna be a graceful princess!" Emilia said and helped her up.
The Chandeliers just laughed out loud. "You ARE losers!" They said.
"RUDE!" the announcer said. "You're automatically losers!" The Chandeliers pouted and walked away with a look at Lu$h Crew that could kill.
"I'm not rude, it's not my fault she slipped on vegetable oil!" Makara said, then realized the trouble she was in.
"OHHHP! They never said what kind of oil it was and I had a guy go down there and see if there was oil and there WAS! DISQUALIFIED! CALL THE COPS! I'm HAVING YOU TWO ARRESTED!
Finally, the cops arrived. "What are your names?" and why did you hurt her? " They asked to the Chandelier Crew. He told them they were under arrest.
"Yeah, make sure they spend extra time in jail for hurting my friends! And they're cheaters, too! They cheated at the contest by spying on Lu$h Crew. They were probably watching behind their backs the whole time, Sir!"
"Um, bye, Lu$h Crew!" Makara laughed.
"Yeah, nice knowing ya!" Diablo yelled back towards Lu$h Crew.
She then saw the cops take Makara and Diablo away. "Have a nice trip, guys. Hope you like your first class stay in the Dance Central jail! Now you're DISQUALIFIED. By the way, a real crew never cheats and never gives up. Ciao!" She joked and waved to them with a bruised hand. The Chandelier Crew was going to spend five years in jail plus two other years just for hurting Lu$h Crew.
"Yeah, I guess I will always be a princess!" Miss Aubrey said. "And I'm a proud princess, so all of you from Rhapsody Heights better look out!"
Finally, it was time to announce the winners.
"The winning city is…based on the stars, votes from the audience and votes from our viewers all across America…...The winner is...Dance Central!"
The Dance Central team, yes, all of them cheered. Even Aubrey tried to jump for joy, Emilia helped her balance. She smiled at Emilia. The Rhapsody Heights people left the stage, for good.
"And now for the winning crew…...based on stars, votes and loyalty to the city they represent…...the winning crew is…...Riptide Crew, Emilia and Bodie! Congratulations, you're not only more famous now, but you are a good example of part of the immense power that makes the Dance Central crews so special!"
Emilia and Bodie were very excited. Everyone clapped and cheered for the winning crew. The announcer gave Emilia a ribbon saying how her crew was best of all. The crown cheered loud and clear.
"Thanks announcer, but I know of the REAL best crew, who deserves this ribbon much more than we do, please for all that they've been through, I must give this to the Lu$h Crew!" The crowd oohed. Emilia put the ribbon on Princess Aubrey's neck and the crowd cheered even louder. There were even a few "I love you Emilia and Aubrey's!" coming from the many screaming voices.
Aubrey smiled and said. "You know, let's just call it a tie. You may have won for real and then gave me your ribbon, but I know I'm awesome, so it's fair for you to wear this." She put the ribbon back around Emilia's neck. "You got some silly ribbon to say, gee you're the best crew in all of Dance Central, but I don't need a silly ribbon to realize that about myself!"
"Oh thanks, you actually helped us a lot, without you and all of your help, we may not even have won!"
"Same here!" Aubrey said and then she winked and told Emilia and Bodie, her new BFFS, "Well, that's what Lu$h Crew does best. Everyone we help we just make them more awesome, we just have that effect on people!"
"Thanks so much, so who's ribbon is it, anyway?" Emilia asked.
"My thinking, who really cares!" Aubrey smiled.
"Yeah, I know you think you're better no matter what!" Emilia made a funny face.
"No, Emilia, we're all the best crews in this town and we're proud of it! This is not your ribbon or my ribbon, it's our ribbon! It's our first time all in a crew. It's our big show!"
