I stand nervously rubbing my hands together. We're having the improv battle soon and I'm so nervous! I know peter will be watching and so will Abby and mom and Kenzie. I'm pretty sure Kalani, Kendall and Nia are here too! Sophia squeezes my hand. "Your do great Maddie!" She reassures me.

The battles starting. We start with us all going on. All ten of us stand on stage. "If you hear your name, you're safe. Now let's start!" The announcer announces.

I hear fast up beat music start. I whirl my arms and shake my hips and jump right into the music using the most expression as possible.

"Janice, Kaylee." The announcer starts.

8 dancers left. I spin as tight and as fast as possible. I jump down and shake my butt blowing a kiss to the crowd before running into a side jump split.

"Chloe East, lucas"

I did a side Ariel and threw myself on the ground rolling over as fast as possible and turning a somersault and go onto my side pretending to laugh. I jump up sideways. I start doing fast sharp strong floats and I jump landing on the floor and rolling over and getting up at record speed.

"Sophia, Maddie."

I run off stage to the safe side with the other safe dancers. We watch the other 4 dancers fighting as they continue dancing.

"Emily, chloe"

We congratulate chloe as she runs off. Two dancers left. One will move on, one will be kicked out of battle #1.

"Carlee"

Gavin runs off to the eliminated side and Carlee joins us.

"Round 2"

We walk back on stage this time only 9 dancers. The song starts. It a sad slow song. I start doing lyrical moves. I've always been good in lyrical pieces. I do a jump split and a knee down and get back up and start spinning keeping my expressions.

"Chloe, Maddie"

Me and chloe run to the safe side. Off stage we hug happily. Were in round three!

We watch the other 7 dancers.

"Sophia, chloe east"

"Carlee, Kaylee"

There are 3 dancers left!

"Lucas, Emily"

Janice runs off the eliminated side.

"Round 3"

8 dancers walk on stage nervously. A song which is clearly a ballet song starts.

I quickly put the "ballet" face on and start moving across the stage with sharp pretty moves. 2 fast pirouettes, abrasque.

"Sophia, Chloe."

I continue dancing with a pretty graceful jump split. I roll on the ground and back to my feet. I start a quick pretty spin sequence finishing off by landing my foot gently behind me.

"Kaylee, Maddie"

We run off stage happily. Round four here I come!

"Chloe East, Carlee"

Two dancers left! Its Lucas or Emily!

"Emily"

Lucas runs off eliminated.

"Round four"

7 dancers on stage. The music is a musical theatre piece clearly. Great I love acting! It's a funny song like the one for seven dancers back in season 4. I do some walking spins across the stage and do a center jump split. I use all of my expression to look funny. I do a one foot spin quickly my hands on my hips shaking my head from side to side as I spin.

"Maddie, Kaylee"

We run off. We turn Back to watch the other 5.

"Chloe East, Emily."

3 dancers left on stage!

"Sophia, Chloe" Carlee runs off eliminated. I look at my 5 rivals.

"Round 5"

6 dancers walk on stage. The music starts it another fast in your face song. I run sideways the way Kendall did in her solo clueless except without the smile. Instead I mimicked Asia's oh no you didn't look. I stopped moving and snapped and jerked my chest forward at the crowd before turning quickly and started walking the other way. I suddenly stopped and jumped on the spot and shake my butt. I did a back flip then whirled around bouncing sideways one foot bent beside me.

"Sophia, Kaylee"

It's me verse the Chloes and Emily. I whirled my body Nia style and did the death drop and then turned my body quickly to the side on my stomach walking up slowly looking at the crowd as my hand crawled up my bent leg. Then I did 5 flexed foot fast pirouettes and leaped and rolled on the ground onto my knees.

"Chloe East, Maddie"

I ran off stage trying to catch my breath.

"Emily" chloe ran off stage eliminated.

"Round six!"

5 dancers left.

It's a hip hop song. I start doing hip hop leaping around with fast spins and fast walk overs and turnover and jump splits.

"Kaylee, Maddie"

I watch Chloe East and Sophia and Emily battle it out on stage.

"Chloe East, Sophia." Emily runs off eliminated.

"Round seven"

Us four walk on stage. It a more modern dance.

I stage jerking my body along with the music.

"Sophia, Kaylee"

Me and Chloe East left. I do the spin leap into center splits on the floor and throw my legs behind me up onto my knees. I jump onto my feet without my hands and swivel my hips from side to side.

"Maddie" relieved I walked to the side as chloe ran off eliminated.

"Round 8"

It's down to three. Me, Kaylee and Sophia walk on. I see Abby beaming at me from the crowd. I search the crowd for Peter. I can't find him. The music starts it sounds like a jazzy piece. I try to keep up with Sophia and Kaylee but there pro jazz dancers and I'm not so great at Jazz.

"Sophia, Kaylee" I run off eliminated.

Miss Haley directs me to stay there. "You got third! You need to get your award after."

And the last song is a fast one. Kaylee wins it.

I walk on to receive a third place medal.

"Kaylee, 5 points. Sophia, 3 points. Maddie, 1 point. Congrats girls! Battle #2 starts in 10 minutes!"

I run off stage. I glance at the updated point screen above us. The bottom 3 also lost their points.

Kaylee: 6

Carlee: -1

Gavin: -6

Chloe L: 1

Lucas: -1

Janice: -4
