A/N Hey,sorry it's taken me so long! I went to Ottawa on a school trip and got back late last night,but here's the next chapter! This is the second last chapter,so the next chapter will be the finale!

Ally's POV

I'm standing in the studio of center stage academy. We're practicing for the recital/competition which is in two days. I'm not really nervous,the only thing that I should be nervous about is the duet,and I'm not because I'm partners with Austin. Me and Austin are really close now,and the good thing is that I've decided not to go to the dance school in New York City,I can't leave all of my friends behind. I know I shouldve gotten back to the school a while ago,but I didn't.

"So,Ally,are you nervous?"Austin asked,I shook my head.

"Nah,nothing to be nervous about,are you?"I asked back,he shook his head in the same manner I did before. We already rehearsed both the duet and group dance,and if I say so myself,they are amazing! The group dance is to Come And Get It by Selena Gomez (1),and trust me,I don't know why they chose that song,it's a good song and all,but I don't really know why they did. Mine and Austin's duet is to Feel this moment by Pitbull and Christina Aguilera,like you probably already knew.

"Nope"He replied popping the P,I nodded and noticed a little bruise on his forehead.

"Hey,What happened to your forehead?"I asked curiously,what if someone beat him up? What if his dad is beating him? What if-

My thoughts were cut off by him answering "Oh,I have this bar in my basement that's too low and when I went in the basement I forgot it was there so I kind of hit my forehead against it this morning"He replied,I sighed in relief. I'm glad he didn't get beat up,well,I guess you could say that he did get beat up...by a bar in his basement.

"Maybe you should make up a more manlier story,the original makes you sound like kind of an idiot"I smirked,he rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

"What kind of story should I make up then?"He asked moving closer to me and smirking,I shrugged my shoulders and grinned.

"I don't know,maybe fighting Bumper after you told his uncle what he made you do?"I suggested,he put his finger to his chin pretending to think.

"Okay,maybe that doesn't make me sound like as much of a loser"He said shrugging his shoulders,I laughed.

"I don't think anything could make you sound like less of a loser"I teased,he mock-gasped and placed a hand over his heart. I giggled and started walking away.

"Oh no you don't"He said and ran up behind me,picking me up by the waist and spinning me around. He continued this for a few moments,before we heard the door close.

"Well,well,well,isn't this cute"Bumper said,Austin set me down and glared at him,and so did I.

"You're a jerk"I snapped and crossed my arms.

"No need to get all snappy at me,I just came in to say...once this whole competition thing is over,we're going to go back to hating each other and we're going to beat you so bad at the competitions after it"He smirked and I was about to charge at him,but Austin held me back.

"Actually I think it's the other way around Bumpowlsky!"I shouted at him as he left the studio,it was empty now except for me and Austin. Austin let go of me once he knew I wasn't going to chase after him.

"Why didn't you let me beat him to a pulp?"I growled,Austin looked kind of hurt at my tone of voice,but then let it go.

"Because if I let you,then you would've gotten in trouble,and we kind of need you for the competition in case you haven't noticed"He explained,I sighed and nodded in agreement.

"I hate him so much"I mumbled and looked at Austin.

"I know,so do I"He replied nodding,I sighed loudly and Austin stared at me for a few moments,then we both burst out laughing.

"You wanna practice a little bit more?"I asked when we calmed down,he nodded.

"Sure"He replied,I walked over to the stereo and feel this moment blasted through the speakers.

Finished! Sorry for the really short chapter,but I'm still super tired from my trip! I know there wasn't much information in this chapter,but I wasn't sure what to write but I wanted one more chapter before the finale!

Ready,Set,Rock!

Keep Calm And Love R5!
