Author note: in case you haven't guessed this is a continue on from chapter 1. So what you are reading is still chapter one. I just like really big cliff-hangers and I needed time to think more on the plot line and the way the chapter was going to pan out – so enjoy chapter part 2. So just imagine that these are one chapter – it's still in the flash back. p.s I apologise in advance for my English spelling of thing but I am English.

Chloe's POV

(In studio A)

"Oh Chloe, it's good to see you in, I would have expected you to take the week off." I shrugged, was Miss Abby in on it to? "I'm fine Miss Abby." That's when the mums walked in. I turned to look at my mum from where I was standing in our line. She smiled, but it looked like she had been crying and Kelly had her arm around her.

"Ok girls pyramid time." Abby pulled off the first picture. "Payton, you're on probation. I've had trouble with you in the past, but I want the team to expand and experience new maturities and I want you to help. Until I see that you've earned this spot on the team you will be on probation." Lesley rolled her eyes. Abby pulled the second picture off the pyramid.

"Nia, you're behind everyone else, you keep making the same mistakes again and again. You're on probation until your technique improves." She turns to holly, "I want her in ballet classes," and before holly has a chance to object Abby has pulled off the third picture.

"Mackenzie, you weren't in the group number because you couldn't keep up. You pulled in fourth with your solo fourth! I expect more from you." She pulled off the next picture.

"Kendal, you messed up your featured part in the group and were a beat behind the whole number." Abby shrugged and pulled off the next picture.

"Paige, you came third, that's good for you, just work on those corrections and practise more." She sighed and moved on.

"Brooke, you won your acro solo, did good in your feature part of the group, but I want to see you do more styles and become more of a leader."

"Chloe, you came second, just like last week and the week before and the week before... when are you going to pull in that win for me Chloe? But I'm glad you're in this week with everything that's been going on." Abby looked at my mother a smiled sorrily.

"Yeah it must have been hard finding out your dads business trips are just him and girl in a hotel room for two days." Maddie held back a smirk; I was going to get her I swear. What was she talking about? The look on my mum's face clearly showed that something had happened between her and dad. "Maddie!" Melissa was not happy. "That is a private subject and if I hear you say anything like that again, you won't be competing this weekend!" Maddies face turned red, she had just been shown up in front of everyone and she didn't like it.

Clearly in a hurry to change the subject Abby pulled the next picture off the pyramid and, despite the fact that we all knew who was on top our attention immediately turned to the mirror.

"Maddie, you won your solo, you did brilliantly on your featured part just like every week. Now this week's numbers, group will be called goodbye, everyone will be in it but Mackenzie and Brooke. We will have one duet and a trio. Duet will be called watch us fly away; Paige and Chloe will do that dance. The trio will be called things aren't what they seem with Brooke, Payton and Maddie. Mackenzie and Kendall will have solos. Features in the group number will be Chloe and Payton. We will be going to starbound competition right here in Pittsburgh. Girls stretch out, mums upstairs."

I ran out into the changing rooms. What Maddie said just couldn't be true!

End of flashback.
