I don't own anything related to Make It or Break It. Using for my entertainment.
I want to apologize for not updating in February - grandma passed away and got into a car accident! March - went all out and did the bathroom renovations. I will make it up to you.

Now onto Chapter Twenty-five!

"So what did Sasha want last night?" Lauren asked Emily once they were all doing their stretches.
"He needed more information for Worlds. Apparently, your files already have the information that he needed."
"Do you think he will be cranky today?"
"Well, if Mrs. Keeler shows up, then no, but if she is sick again, than probably. Apparently there is a lot of paperwork that he needs to do and he has been doing them on his own."
"Thank god, there is Mrs. Keeler." Lauren said as she spotted her.
"Ya, thank god. We don't need him to be grouchy again." Emily said causing them to laughing and they were soon joined by Kaylie and Payson.
"What is going on?" Payson asked Lauren and Emily.
"Today should be a better day since your mom is here. Sasha has been swamped with paperwork and you saw yesterday's result." Emily told the girls.
"Girls, get to work. World's is approaching quickly. No time to waste." Sasha ordered from the platform.
"Well, at least, it's still better than yesterday." Kaylie said walking the Vault.

The girls training had been intense. Two weeks before Worlds, Sasha had all the girls stay in Boulder for training. Kelly was staying with Emily and Jordan at Payson's. He wanted everyone close to the Rock.

"As much as I am excited for World's. I can't wait for it to be done. Sasha can be such a drill sergeant." Jordan told the girls as they took their lunch break.

"HA! We have him all the time. You just have him now and for World's!" Lauren said causing Kaylie, Payson and Emily to agree with her. "But he isn't soo bad. He just wants to make sure that we are at our best and see us win."

"And knowing Sasha. Next week shouldn't be as intense. He will make sure we have our routines done path and we are well rested. That is what he did for National." Payson told Kelly and Jordan about Sasha's way.

"So if he is the coach for the Olympic teams, how bad do you think he will be?" Jordan asked seriously and the only replied she got was the Rock girls' faces paled to a deadly white.

"All right Girls, lunch is done. Even though today is Friday, there is no need to be slacking off."

Monday came too soon and the rest of the week just flew by, and the girls were back at the gym training, albeit a lot more relaxed than last week. They also had their Worlds interview schedule among their training. Sasha had scheduled everyone so they would have the same amount of training and an one and one with him to fine tune their routines.

"Emily, it's your turn to stay tonight." Sasha asked on Friday afternoon. "Your Vault needs a few tweaks."

"Sure thing, Coach." Emily said as she ran to tell her mother.

The rest of the day had gone without any problems and the interviews had gone amazingly well. All the girls were ready to go and win. The only thing left was Emily's one on one with Sasha.

Emily's sat on the Vault table waiting for everyone to leave and her one on one with Sasha. She knew her Vault's DOD was very high. She couldn't figure out what more Sasha wanted for her Vault.

"Emily, please do your routine you are going to use at Worlds." Sasha demanded as soon as he had locked the doors and back in the main training area.

Without question or a word, Emily did what Sasha asked of her. She knew he would be nit-picking her routine at the moment to make sure everything was alright.

"The only thing that I would suggest, Emily, is when you are in the air, try to keep your hands tighter to your chest. You never know with the judges, they might penalize you on that if they feel like it. Do it again."

"Ok." Emily answered while walking back to the Vault start.

After a few runs of her Vault routine and Sasha finding it as perfect as humanly possible, he grabbed her hand and pulled her to him, kissing her in the process.

"I missed you so much." Sasha said against her lips.

"I missed you too. This week as been so busy with Worlds."

"I know. After Worlds are done, I'm going to give your girls a week vacation before your two weeks of training here and then it's off to the USA Training Centre for 8 weeks."

"8 weeks? I don't know how I am going to do it without you there."

"You will figure out a way. You are strong. Now, let's not talk about training. I just want your in my arms for the time being." Sasha told her and he picked her up bridal style and carried her to his office.

Saturday evening, all the girls gathered up at the airport with most of the parents. Emily's and Jordan's parents couldn't make it, but they would have amazing supporters there for them as well.

"Alright, Girls, here are your tickets. Please don't lose them. You lose them, you are staying home." Sasha said as he handed out the tickets. "Now, when we land in Rio, we are going straight to the hotel. Now, the Press will be there, so please don't talk to them. Just smile, wave a bit, and go straight in the hotel. Once we are all settled, there will be a small press session as a whole team. Wait for that before answering any questions. Are we clear?" Sasha stated and quickly heard everyone agreed with him. "Good, now let's get this show on the road."

Everyone made it through airport security without any problems and quickly found their seat only to find that the girls all had first class tickets along with Sasha while the parents were in economy, letting the girls enjoy themselves.

"This is the Captain speaking, please fasten your seatbelt. We will be landing in 30 minutes. Thank you for flying American Airlines."

All throughout the planes, clicking noise were heard. People placing their belt back on. The only thing that was different was that Emily was practically bouncing in her seat. She couldn't wait to compete. For her, those 30 minutes were the longest that she had ever spent.

"Calm down, Emily. We will be there soon!" Kaylie said as she grew annoyed with Emily's excitement.

"I know. I just can't wait." Emily smiled as she calmed down somewhat.

The planes touched down with perfect smoothness and everyone was out. The girls were all buzzing at the moment and once they met up with the parents, they grabbed their luggages.

"Girls, now listen carefully, we have two full-size waiting for us at the exit. Stick together. We don't want to lose anyone here. Once we get to the hotel, Mrs. Keeler is going to check us all in, so just wait in the lobby. Once you are assign to your room, go to it, unpack, grab a snack and rest. We have the team interview at 4:00pm. Once done, we will have supper at the hotel."

"Ok, Sasha." All six girls said as they held on to their luggage for dear life.

Once they found their vans, the girls, Sasha, Summer and Kim got in one van while the rest got into the second van. They made it to the hotel much earlier than expected because the press went into a frenzy when they arrived. Sasha let the way with the girls behind him and Summer and Kim behind the girls.

"Kaylie, how do you feel to be competing at the Worlds?"

"Kelly, how is this different from last year's Worlds?

Questions were shot out left and right, but with their promise to Sasha, the girls didn't say anything. Not a peep.

"The girls will answer your questions at the press conference this afternoon!" That was the only comment that came out of the USA team.

Once inside, the girls sat down in the lobby with Sasha while Kim checked them in and got their room key.

"Ok, Girls, the NGO is trusting you here and got you a suite for the 6 of you. If anything gets out of control, we will separate you up, but please don't let it come to that."

"You can count on us, Sasha. This is part of our dreams and we got this far, we will not let it be ruined." Kaylie, acting as Captain, said for all the girls.

"Ok, so here are your keys, Girls." Kim said as she handed the girls their keys. "Sasha's room is directly in front of yours. Mine and Summer's is next to his. If there is anything that you need, please find us. Now off you go."

The girls practically ran to the elevator but had to wait. While waiting for it, Summer, Kim and Sasha got to them just as the elevator arrived. Their rooms were on the 13th floor and facing the beautiful beach.

"Wow, would you look at this view." Lauren said as she pressed against the window. "Oh man, look at the beach. Too bad we can't enjoy it."

"Oh wow! I never seen anything like this before." Jordan said next to Lauren. "Hey Sasha, do you think we will have time to go to the beach?"

"I don't think so, Jordan. We are here for Worlds and we go back home the next day. Now, I suggest you unpack, grab a snack and be ready for your press conference at 4:00pm."

"Oh man." Jordan sighed disappointedly.

"Kaylie, how does it feel to finally be here?

"It feels great to be here. I can't wait to go out there and compete against some of the best team out there."

"Emily, a lot of people were sure that you wouldn't make the National Team, but you did and even the Worlds Team, how does that feel for you?"

"Feels amazing. I had a lot of intense training but I have some of the greatest support out there. My coach, my teammates which are my best friends and my family. I couldn't ask for a better support group." The crowd awwed at Emily's response.

"Payson, you were a power gymnast and now you are an artistic gymnast. Can you tell us a bit on how that happen?"

"Well after my accident, I grew a bit taller, so some tricks were harder to perform. Sasha, being the awesome coach that he is, took it upon himself and thought me to be an artistic gymnast for the Floor, but also a bit of the power gymnast for other apparatus. It was a grueling process, but he made it work."

The questions kept on going until Emily's stomach growled loudly enough that the questions quickly stopped and they were led out of the press conference and quickly into the restaurant for supper.

"Alright, Ladies, now I want you to go to your room, relax and go to bed early tonight. Worlds starts tomorrow." Sasha told the girls after they had finished eating and they all made their way to their rooms.
