CADC – Candy Apples Dance Company, run by Cathy.
ALDC – Abby Lee Dance Company, run by Abby.
There will be more about the Abby lee dance company than the apples because I hate Cathy so much and I don't know how to write her studio or character anyway but I will try my hardest to make it seem like the real thing!

"We're gonna beat Abby Lee and her rotten dance moms once and for all!" Cathy shouted, coming into the studio with a triumphant jazz step.
"Well, they're not that bad," Chloe said quietly, fiddling. Her fellow team rolled their eyes.
Cathy sighed, resting a hand on Chloe's shoulder. "Oh, Chloe, the Abby Lee Dance Company are evil, disgusting little creatures that don't deserve to win anything! Trust me, I've been there, and not to mention that Jessalyn is a nasty piece of work!"
"Beca-"
"Beca is the top dancer there and she gets a solo, a duet or trio and is head of the group dance almost every week. She may be a good dancer, but you're so much better," Cathy stated, laughing to herself.
"I like Beca, she's really nice to me," Chloe said softly, smiling slightly at the thought of the short brunette who always managed to wish her good luck before every performance, despite getting an earful from Abby about it every time.
"It's all a façade, Chlo, she hates you really," Aubrey spoke up from the other side of the room where she was doing her stretches, trying to get Chloe off of this constant idea that Beca is an angel.
Chloe sighed. If there was one thing she knew it was that Beca certainly didn't hate her, but she did hate Aubrey. With a passion.
ALDC
Meanwhile, back in Pittsburgh, Abby was doing the pyramid. Jessica was at the bottom, considering she wasn't in the group number last week and she didn't do well in her solo.
"Next to her; Amy. Now I need to see legs straight, toes pointed and PERFECT TIMING! And you and your mother better keep your mouths shut this week." Abby said, raising her voice to get her point across. Amy, although slightly downhearted that she was still being threatened after coming third overall in the solos last week, she still smiled and nodded, fixing her bow slightly.
"Lilly," Abby announced, taking off the next card. "Lilly, what was going on with your timing in the group last week? You have got to step it up. Everyone was holding their chin stands, and what did you do?"
"I got up and did a pirouette," Lilly said quietly.
"Two beats before everyone else!" Abby snapped. "Step. It. Up."
"Going up, we have Stacie. Nice lyrical last week, but you have got to get your placing higher. Fourth place? You're better than that. You are a reigning National Champion. Don't make the judges at nationals last season regret giving you that title. Improve on your emotions, really feel what's going on in the music. Remember, everyone's replaceable, and you could be walking out of that door in the next two days if you don't start improving."
Stacie nodded, making a mental note in her mind to work on what Abby was telling her. She knew she needed to place higher, but she didn't think Abby had to remind her again that she was replaceable, she'd been with the company for over two years now Abby had never once kicked her out, in fact she always said that she was her best dancer after Beca. It was just Abby's way of saying things weren't going to stay this way forever. Kira only rolled her eyes, everyone's replaceable, everyone's replaceable, it's all Abby says, but she doesn't see Abby replacing her child anytime soon, Abby knows far better than to take Stacie off the team.
"Now, we have Emily. You did hip hop last week, we don't even do hip hop every week at the studio. To come second overall was a massive accomplishment...although it's still not first. Well done," Abby paused whilst everyone applauded Emily, who was smiling excitedly, squeezing Stacie's hand. "You would be at the top of this pyramid if it weren't for your mother's complaining that you didn't dance hip hop. See, Jill, this is what happens when you try something new. The good, and the bad."
Jill gave a tight lipped smile, not being able to stop her small, barely audible hum of annoyance.
"And at the top, Beca."
"No surprise there," Kira muttered to Holly, quiet enough for Abby not to hear but loud enough for Melissa to, who crossed her arms.
"You were the highest scoring soloist last week, doing a jazz routine with a few new steps. You're at the top, Beca, not just because your dance was perfect, but because you really pushed yourself towards the end of that dance. You twisted your ankle slightly doing the turns, and you still managed to not miss a beat. That was really professional, Beca, keep it up,"
Beca smiled, happy to be at the top again. The week before she had been beaten by Stacie, whom she had been happy for, as Stacie was one of her best friends, but everybody liked being on top of the pyramid.
"This week, we will be travelling to LA, California," Abby announced the group. The girls cheered, sans Beca, who just fist-pumped the air excitedly. LA was her dream, when she was older she was going to move to LA and become a big performer, performing at all the hotspots. "It's gonna be hot, it's gonna be fun, and if you work hard enough we'll go to the beach. We will have a group number, four soloists and a duet;" Abby announced.
"Whoa," Emily said under her breath. They had never done so many dances in one competition before- except for in solos week- and it was certainly going to be a lot to handle.
"Emily and Beca, your duet will be to David Guetta's Titanium. It's dramatic, its artsy, and it's daunting. You're gonna need to really feel the music. Beca, you will have a solo this week. It will be a contemporary piece and the song you are doing it to is called Stitches, by Shawn Mendes, but to the acoustic version by Hailee Steinfeld and Shawn Mendes. Emily, you will also be doing a solo. Your routine will be a lyrical to Listen by Beyoncé,"
Beca gasped. She had been praying to get a Beyoncé solo ever since Abby had hinted at it over three months ago. Beyoncé had always been her favourite singer and celebrity, so doing a solo to one of her songs was an aspiring dream. She could only hope that she could convince Abby to give her a Beyoncé solo next week.
"So I really need to see you feeling the music. There will be elements of Beyoncé in it, like the whoa-oh-oh dance, you know with the arms like this and the legs going…anyway so you need to stay really focused to pull that off. Amy, you will be doing a solo, it's a sassy, jazz routine to It's Not Unusual by Tom Jones, you should excel in this, as it's what you do best. And last but not least, Jessica, you will be doing a lyrical piece to Married Life from the Up soundtrack. Everybody will be in the group number. How many of you have seen West side story?"
All the girls looked at each other, confused. Beca put her hand up. "…I've heard of it,"
Abby sighed, rolling her eyes. Trust those moms to not subject their children to the classics. "Okay, how many of you have seen that new Disney movie…what was it? Teens on the beach?"
"Teen beach movie!" Jessica shouted out, and almost all of the girls started squealing, all except Beca, who hated most movies, and when Jessica and Amy had tried to get her to watch it she had gotten through ten minutes before walking away.
"I love that movie!" Stacie said.
"Did you see Ross Lynch?"
"Of course I did, he was in like every scene, duh!"
"Oh my god, I can't stop singing Can't Stop Singing!"
"OHHH! I CAN'T STOP SINGING! MAKE IT STOP, MAKE IT STOP, AM I REAL OR JUST A-"
"Make it stop! Make it stop!" Abby laughed over the girls singing, well, shouting. "As I was saying, the group number this week is called Reputation, it's fun, it's beachy, and we have an umbrella. Gianna, have you ordered the costumes?"
"I was going to tell you earlier, but you weren't in the studio. When I tried to order the costumes the guy on the phone said they won't be ready until the week after next." Gia said calmly, and all the girls sighed, including Abby.
"Right, fine, then instead of Reputation this week, we will be doing a routine called Private Eyes, and there will be a prop for each girl, which I will reveal later. Right, that's all. Moms, the doors over there, girls, start warming up. We leave for LA on Wednesday."
Everybody began to disperse when Abby shouted that she had forgotten something. "WAIT! I need you all to know that our rotten apples will be there, so this competition means a lot. I need double the focus, triple the effort and quadruple the amount of rehearsal time. We will win this! And, Beca, Emily, you both will be competing against Chloe in the pre-teen category, which at this competition is 11-13. Emily, what do you think of Chloe?"
"I think she needs to work on her technique, we used to be friends but I don't talk to her anymore." Emily said truthfully, earning an approving nod from her dance teacher.
"Beca, what do you think of Chloe?"
Beca's heart sped up just hearing the redhead's name. She was beautiful on stage (and off), and every time Chloe caught her eye her heart practically stopped. She had the prettiest eyes the brunette had ever seen, a dazzling light blue, and it's almost like they have little sapphire gems in them as they sparkled so much. Beca could stare at Chloe all day. Of course, she would never readily admit that, it was just a stupid crush. Beca always tried to talk to her at every competition they had seen each other at, even going as far as to comfort Chloe when Christy had made fun of her and Chloe overheard. She seemed to make a complete fool of herself most of the time, though, always tripping over her feet when it came to Chloe.
"Beca? Beca!" Abby's yell snapped her out of her daydreams.
"Huh, what? Um, yes?" She said, wincing at her inadequacy to pay attention.
"I asked you what you thought of Chloe, but you just zoned out."
"Beca likes Chloe!" Amy sang from halfway across the room, where she was practising her chin stands.
"W-What? I do n-not!" Beca stuttered indignantly.
"Becs, you so do. Look, roleplay. I'm you and Amy is Chloe." Stacie said, standing up from her handstand and turning to Amy.
"Hey, good luck today, Beca," the Australian smiled at Stacie.
"Wh-What? O-oh, hey, yeah, good luck to me too…wait, no, sorry! I meant that as you saying good luck to me, NO! Uhh…g-good luck, C-Chloe," Stacie stuttered awkwardly, earning a round of applause from the Moms and the kids. Kira and Melissa were clutching each other, letting out barks of laughter. Even Abby was chuckling.
"I do not talk like that." Beca scowled, crossing her arms.
The girls all shouted at her, telling her that she does. Abby looked at her pointedly.
"Answer me truthfully, Beca, do you, or do you not like Chloe?"
Beca looked down, fidgeting slightly with her booty shorts. No matter how much she wanted to, she knew she couldn't lie to Abby. "I…um, I- I maybe t-th-"
Abby let out a loud sigh. "I knew it, you like her."
"I don't!" Beca protested, but she knew it was too late to convince anyone that she didn't like the redhead now.
"Then what's with the puppy dog eyes whenever she walks past, what's with the constant drooling when she's dancing, or even walking, on stage? What's with the fact that you always find a way to talk to her at every competition we go to, what's with the fact that you get this weird, daydreamy, faraway look in your eyes when someone even mentions her name?"
Beca muttered something inaudible, pulling at her hair and blushing a deep red.
"Hey, your blush is the same colour as Chloe's hair!" Amy said, which only made Beca growl at her in annoyance, blushing even harder.
"It's fine to like someone, Beca, but, and I mean it when I say this; if you let your little crush get in the way of your dancing at this competition, there'll be hell to pay."
Kira and Jill's jaws dropped, Melissa and Holly's eyes widened and Jessalyn let out a barely audible gasp. Abby hardly ever threatened Beca, she favoured her. Beca seemed surprised as well, as her eyebrows lifted and she met Abby's eye. She nodded.
"It won't,"
"Good. Moms, you're dismissed, girls, another five minutes of warm up."
Once upstairs, Kira immediately scoffed, turning to Holly.
"Of course, when it comes to Beca it's okay to have crushes, it's always okay to do anything if Beca does it, but if that was Stacie, Lilly or even Jessica, Abby would be smacking that kids backside. 'Dance! Dance! Crushes are for tramps, you're not a tramp, you're a dancer! Shut up! I want…50 chin stands, stat!"

"Okay, apples, we have a big competition this week! We will be travelling to LA, California!" Chloe and Benji high fived each other. They both had been wanting to go to LA as soon as they could read, and finally they were getting to go. "Now, as I already told you, the Abby Lee Dance Company will be there. I just heard from Social Media that Abby is entering 4 soloists, a duet and a group number. Now we have seven people in our group, so that's enough for everybody to do something as well as the group number. So, this is how it's going to work. Chloe, you are going to be doing a solo, going head to head against Emily and Beca. Now, I have taken the liberty of finding out what Beca's music and solo is going to be; it's a contemporary piece to the acoustic version of Stitches by Shawn Mendes. So, you are also going to do a contemporary piece to Stitches. Now Beca is a very skilled dancer, but with your strength, flexibility and acting skills mixed with mine and Yvette's choreography, I think you have this one in the bag. Aubrey, you will be doing a lyrical piece to Us, by Regina Spektor. Cynthia Rose, you're doing a hip hop piece to Jump by Kriss Kross!"
Cynthia Rose let out a big woo, jumping up and throwing her arms into the air. She had been asking for this solo for weeks, and with Cathy knowing fully well that she was more than capable of pulling it off, there was no reason for Cathy to say no. Besides, to beat Abby, everybody knew they needed all the help they could get.
"Our duet will be Aubrey and Chloe, you two are doing a musical number to It's a Hard Knock Life, from Annie. Flo, you will be doing an acrobatic routine to When Will My Life Begin from Tangled. Bumper, you will be doing a routine to Hall of Fame by The Script. Our group routine is going to be so moving that the judges are going to choose us straight over Abby. Our group routine is a sad lyrical to Lay me Down by Sam Smith! Okay, Apples, time to warm up! We have a lot to get through!"
ALDC
"She likes someone," Amy told the camera whilst they were waiting for Emily's solo rehearsal to finish, giggling.
"No I don't." Beca said, shaking her head. She didn't see why Amy had to repeat it, it's not like the whole camera crew didn't already see that she liked Chloe earlier.
"A certain Apple we know," Amy continued, backing away from Beca slightly.
"Shut up!"
"Called Chlo-" Amy was cut off by Beca shoving her hands into the blonde's face, poking her until she laughed and took off running.
"What are you gonna do about it?" Stacie asked, looking up from her phone.
Beca shrugged, suddenly taking interest in her tap shoes.
"Are you gonna ask her out?"
"I don't know!"
"What's her Instagram?"
"Chlobearbeale101." Beca said immediately, just because she had read it somewhere, not because she had been checking it daily to see if Chloe has uploaded anything else.
"Hey, I just realised something!" Stacie grinned.
"What?"
"Jesse likes Aubrey, right?"
"Yeah, so? He has a much better chance with her than I do with Chloe,"
"Well why don't you both ask them out at the same time?"
"Jesse doesn't come to any competitions." Beca grumbled, distracting herself from the conversation by scrolling through Instagram.
Stacie gave up trying to talk to the brunette, as she obviously didn't have a plan, nor did she seem to be in a hurry to make one. Beca let out an excited gasp, her badass persona completely crumbling as she stamped her feet excitedly.
"What? What happened?" Jessica asked, trying to look over her sister's shoulder.
"Chloe just uploaded two new videos to Instagram!"
Everybody in the room, including the two cameramen, let out a groan. They figured that now Beca's admitted to liking the redhead, it's all she was going to talk about.
Beca tapped on the first video, which was of Chloe thanking people for following her in Instagram; she had just hit 10 thousand. Nobody seemed to know who she was when she thanked them. Beca found it overly hilarious, and she couldn't help but stare at the redhead in awe. She watched it over and over again, until Emily called her in for their duet practice. Not being able to tear her eyes away from the redhead, Beca walked in to the studio with her head down, still giggling slightly. She heard Abby say something, but it sounded so distant Beca subconsciously classified it as un-important. She only looked up when Abby snatched her phone out of her hands.
"Beca, I've told you once and I shouldn't have to tell you again, do NOT let Chloe effect your dancing!"
"Can I just look at-"
"No." Abby drawled, yanking the phone out of Beca's reach. "I'll be holding on to this, you go and warm up with Emily,"
Beca rolled her eyes, knowing better than to argue with Abby, even if she was 'the favourite', before walking over to Emily and doing a few consecutive turns.
Abby looked down at the phone to see what Beca had been watching, when a notification popped up. Chlobearbeale101 has sent you a DM click to view.
"Ooh!" She said, surprised.
Beca, who had heard the ping, spun around at the sound. "What?"
"Chloe sent you a direct message,"
"What does it say?" Beca asked desperately, clambering over Emily, making the poor girl fall to the floor whilst doing a bridge.
Abby clicked on it and read aloud in a high voice. "Hey Beca! I heard you're going to LA this week. So am I! What hotel are you staying in?"
Beca squealed, actually squealed, before clearing her throat and blushing slightly. "Cool," she said, before doing a few turns to get her mind away from Chloe and into dance mode.
CADC
"She's seen it!" Chloe said to Aubrey excitedly, tapping her best friend on the shoulder.
"Wonder what the hobbit's gonna say,"
"She isn't a hobbit!"
"Chlo, she's tiny!" Aubrey said. "She's like five feet tall, if that!"
"Yeah, but-"
"Girls, I hope you're going over the routine over there," Cathy said, making both girls blush slightly and nod.
"She replied!" Chloe said half an hour later.
"What did she say?" Aubrey asked, trying to snatch Chloe's phone away from her.
"She said, hey Chloe! Yeah, we're going to the comp in LA, and Abby says we're staying at SLS Hotel! What about you?"
"Cathy? What hotel are we staying at in LA?" Chloe asked sweetly.
"SLS! In Beverly hills," Cathy winked. "Two more minutes, Chlo, then we need to work on your solo,"
Chloe nodded, her stomach doing flips. Omg no way! We're staying there too! See you there? She typed, waiting with bated breath for the response.

"So what do you think about the group doing six routines?" Jill asked, turning her eyes away from Beca and Emily's duet rehearsal to look at the Moms.
"I think that with all these dances, a competition in LA where Abby wants to impress anyone who would be watching from Hollywood and Cathy being there, Abby's stress levels are gonna be through the roof, which will only put more pressure on our kids and us." Holly stated.
"I agree, Abby's chosen to do 6 dances at this competition, and the wicked witch of the west is gonna be there, and it's the second competition of the season…like, the pressure is on." Kira nodded.
"Okay but, enough about Abby…Melissa, what do you think about Beca liking Chloe?" Jill asked.
"I don't think she shouldn't because she's twelve now, she's going to start liking people sooner or later and I'm just happy that nobody seems to mind that she likes Chloe, because, with some people, that's an issue," Melissa said truthfully, taking a sip from her coffee.
"Did you have any idea about Beca being gay or whatever she is?" asked Jill.
Melissa shook her head. "This is the first I've heard of it. To be perfectly honest I don't even know if she thinks she's different from anyone if she likes a girl, I think she just thinks she likes her and that's that,"
The moms all nodded. "Well, good for her!" Jill smiled.
"And good for the both of you that Christy isn't here, because she'd be yapping on and on if she knew about this," Jessalyn said.
Everybody agreed seriously, turning their heads back to the rehearsal. Jill and Melissa winced when Abby's shout, directed at Beca, echoed throughout the studio.
"Beca! Focus!" Abby shouted as Beca was a beat late on her pirouette-into-releve. "There is no way I will have you dance at this competition in LA against Cathy if you will not be aware of your surroundings!"
Beca nodded, staring at her shoes.
"Alright, Emily, you're done, Beca…go get a drink, clear your thoughts of any…any blue-eyed redheads…and get ready for your solo rehearsal." Abby said, shooing them both off with a slight slap to the buttock, making the girls squeal.
Beca didn't know how to clear her thoughts of any blue-eyed redheads, no, scratch that, she didn't think she could. Chloe was like an addiction, like when she was addicted to Friends two years ago, and it was all Beca was doing in her spare time. She even missed dance class for it. It was all she could possibly think about. She tried, anyway, for the sake of Abby's calmness, and her attention-span. When she ran back into the studio, Abby called her over.
"Your routine is going to be mature. It's going to be clever, it's going to be unique, it's going to be perfect. You need to make sure you dance perfectly and maturely, because if you wanna get the girl, you gotta work for her." Abby informed her seriously, and Beca nodded along, not wanting to disappoint her teacher by not focusing.
CADC
"So, Chloe, you are doing a contemporary routine to Stitches, the exact same as Beca. This is going to be judged purely on the quality of the dance, so you need to show the judges that YOU'RE worth first place, not Beca. And if you mess it up, you'll have to answer to the ridiculous insults those moms come up with. Are we clear?"
"Crystal." Chloe smiled.
"Good. I think this is gonna be our week, Chloe, with your incredible dancing and this amazing choreography Yvette has put together, I think you are going to blow us all away with your dancing. Okay? Now, let's get started."
Chloe started to walk towards the middle of the room, but Cathy stopped her.
"Hang on a second, Chloe, I need to speak to you about something important. You and Beca. Now, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that you seem to like this girl…let's say, on more than a friend level. But I don't want this to interrupt our time in LA, or your dancing. As soon as you get into that auditorium, your relationship flies out of the window, it's about your dancing, and it's about beating Abby. And if that means beating Beca in the process, then so be it, but, believe me, Chloe, you will come home with that first place trophy, and if you don't…" Cathy sliced her neck. Chloe nodded in understanding.
"We get to LA on Wednesday, and so do the ALDC members, okay sweetheart? Now go do your dance." Cathy smiled, giving her a quick hug.
The redhead ran to the middle, shuddering as she did so; Cathy's hugs were always cold and bony, they did scare her sometimes. Chloe ran through her dance a few times, Cathy altering it slightly each time, before having it deemed brilliant and she was allowed to take a break and retrieve Aubrey to practice their duet. Chloe thought her dance looked gorgeous, she loved the choreography, it was different to what she usually did and she loved that. Of course, Chloe was always too quick to love something, Aubrey told her that one day she's going to fall in love with something too quickly and have it backfire in her face. And maybe Aubrey was right, maybe one day love was going to tread on her, but she loved loving things. In fact, she loved everything about love. And she was sure that she loved Beca. She loved Beca up to the point where she was hesitant about beating her in LA, because she would hate to see the defeated look on Beca's face if her number was announced second overall solo. There wasn't much that Chloe hated. She hated people who cheat, she hated when people hurt other people on purpose, physically or mentally, she hated that some animals were endangered. She did not hate Abby Lee Miller, or anybody at ALDC, dancer or mother. She did hate that Cathy expected her to hate Abby. She did not hate or like Abby, she couldn't, she didn't know her. She hated that she had to win, but she hated losing.
She hated more than she thought.
But she hated hate.
Chloe was a very optimistic child. She always looked on the bright side of things, like how although Pandas are endangered, at least there are many that are still alive. If she lost, at least Beca would win. Apparently Chloe was very mature for her age. She thought so, too. Apparently Beca was very mature for her age. Chloe hoped so, because if they were both very mature, then that was another thing they had in common. This was why that when Chloe said she loved Beca, she knew she meant it. She knew she was mature enough to know that she loved someone. Maybe Beca would be mature enough to love her back someday.
Chloe would wait for that day for the rest of her life if she needed to.
"Aubrey!" the redhead screamed throughout the studio, giggling as Aubrey came running
ALDC - Tuesday
"And lift, lift! Extend your arms!" Abby shouted, watching Beca go over her routine. She knew the short brunette hadn't been able to concentrate all morning, putting them a step back in the duet, group and solo that she was doing.
"You've been doing this move since you were eight years old, why are you getting it wrong!? Hold the releve, four, five, six, drop onto your knees, dodge the bullet, fall, done. It's not hard!" She yelled.
After watching the girl do the end of the routine a few times, Abby decided enough was enough, and she let Beca go, but not without a lecture.
"Right, let me draw something out for you. This is you." Abby drew a tiny stick figure on the whiteboard in the corner, with long dark hair and a leotard on. Beca giggled slightly. "This is Chloe." She drew the same, except with long red hair and slightly taller than Beca. She labelled them 'Beca' and 'Chloe'. "You have two choices. One, you can throw away your opportunities to be with Chloe," She drew a pink heart between the two figures. "But, eventually, whilst you're devoting all your time to Chloe, she will be growing as a dancer, and sooner or later she'll move to LA or New York to do broadway, to dance, and you will be left alone, with wasted opportunities and wasted talents." She broke the heart, rubbing Chloe out and drawing her on the other side of the board with 'starring Chloe Beale' above. "Two, you can focus on doing what is best for you. Continue using your opportunities, continue growing as a dancer, continue doing big things for your career, and in your spare time, you can be with Chloe. You can have a balance. Be happy with your girlfriend or wife or-" Abby let out a laugh as Beca's eyes widened at the mention of a wife, she hadn't even thought about what she was going to have for dinner that night, let alone being married to Chloe. "Or whatever you'll be, whilst sticking to what you need to, so, if anything happened and you and Chloe were no longer together or friends, you will have something to fall back onto. If you go with choice one, you will have nothing to fall back onto if Chloe leaves with her money and you don't have any because you haven't been working. If you go to choice two, you get the girl, you have a career, you're happy."
"But what if she doesn't leave?" Beca asked seriously.
"Then you've got the best of both worlds," Abby smiled, drawing Beca next to Chloe, with an 'Starring Beca Mitchell and Chloe Beale' sign above the both of them, a heart and linked hands. Beca looked at the picture with a small smile growing on her face.
"Which choice are you going to pick?"
"Choice number two!" Beca said pointedly with a roll of her eyes. Who on earth would go for choice number 1?
"Well if you want choice number two, then you're going to have to work for it. And believe me, Beca, if you really want that girl, I can tell you for a fact that she will be way more excited to be your friend if you're an amazing dancer and you're perfect and you give off a nice vibe. To do that, you need to follow my instructions, and you get your priorities straight. Okay?"
"Okay." Beca said, earning a hug from Abby before she left the room.
CADC – Wednesday (I don't have anything to really talk about for Tuesday with the apples and I don't want to waffle)
"Today's the day, today's the day, today's the day!" Chloe bubbled, jumping up and down in her excitement as she shook her best friend's shoulders.
Aubrey only frowned, "Chloe, for serious, stop shaking me! Why are you so excited today, we've done this a million times before,"
Chloe gave her a serious look. "This times different, Bree. This time, I actually have a chance to become friends with Beca!"
"You mean if Cathy will let you; she hates anything remotely associated with ALDC, you know that,"
"And she loves everything remotely associated with me, so if Beca's associated with me, she's going to have to learn to love her." Chloe said firmly, skipping off to board the coach that will take them to the airport.
Aubrey rolled her eyes, the redhead really had a problem, no matter how hard anybody tried to help her, she always looked on the bright side of everything, even at the worst of times, and always remained with a smile etched on her face. Instead of telling Chloe that anything bad is possible to happen like she does sometimes when the girl's in this state, she decided to just leave it; her best friend had waited far too long to get to this point of time and Aubrey wasn't going to be the one to ruin it for her.
A/N: I hope you guys liked this part, the next part will be the real deal though ;) Stay tuned!
