A few weeks later the girls were dressed up in their dance costumes along with the other dancers .They were getting bored as their turn in the competition wasn't until later .The girls were talking to each other .
"I told Dave and the boys not to show up until later "Brittany smiled at her sisters "I didn't think they needed to sit through other people's routines .
"That was a great idea Brittany .But this is boring ,we need something to do ",Eleanor said putting on eye make up .
"I know something " Jeanette said ,smiling she called the other dancers over they got into a group and we're whispering to each other .
Downstairs Dave and the boys had just entered the building .They got into the elevator ."I thought we might go say hi to the girls before they went on stage " Dave said smiling at his sons .
"They are all the way upstairs on the 15th floor Dave ",Simon said ,smiling at his dad as the elevator started to go up it began stopping on each floor .
"Alvin did you push all the buttons ",Dave said to his son .
"I am innocent Dave ",Alvin said ,looking at him with innocent eyes .
In the hallway Eleanor was running up the 3rd floor she pushed the button to the elevator it stopped and opened as she hide around the corner and then ran off while Brittany who was on the 4th floor did the same Jeanette was 5th floor followed by some the other dancers on the other floors .They were giggling and running all over as they ran back to the dressing room laughing and giving each other high fives the girls turned around to see Dave and the boys walking up the hallway. They run to them hugging them .
"Hi girls ",Dave greeted them with a smile "don't you look nice "
"We just wanted to come up and say hi",Theodore said hugging them .
"I think the elevator might be malfunctioning it was stopping on all the floors",Dave said ,wondering if he should report it to someone .
"It's that button pushing fairy again .She flies around pushing all the buttons Dave "Eleanor said smiling .
Simon eyes Eleanor "Well, I hope she won't be pushing all the buttons on the way back down "
"Magical fairy's just kind of come when they want to you never know ",Brittany said smiling .
"Well, I don't think the magical fairy will be pushing any more buttons ",Dave says eyeing Brittany .
"I think it might be time for her nap that could be look at the time ",Brittany said trying to smile at Dave .
"I told you it wasn't me Dave ",Alvin said looking at his dad
"Sorry Alvin ",Dave apologized to his son "I am curious to see how this turns out ",Dave said smiling changing the subject .
"Well ,Simon came up with a new idea and our dance teacher loved it ",Jeanette said winking at Simon .
"You came up with a dance routine ",Alvin said eyeing Simon .
"The new idea for the routine and the idea for the props .He worked really hard on it ",Eleanor said smiling .
"It's something that sometimes happens to kids at school ".Jeanette added blushing at Simon ."we just thought it was a good subject "
Dave smiled at them as they began walking back toward the elevator .
"Good luck girls ",Dave said ,waving at them .The girls wave at them as they got into the elevator .About 20 minutes later the girls are about to go on stage . Brittany is the lead dancer, she has them all put in their hands in and lift them up again giving each other good luck .As the curtain opens the stage is decorated a like playground, two of the dancers on the swings in the middle , some the on a merry go round on the right side that looks like it was turning and the others were standing in front of what looked like a slide with their arms crossed on the left side of the stage .Jo Jo Siwa ' s song boomerang starts playing as the music starts the dancers jumps off the swings and merry go round and meet in the middle of the stage .
"Simon you did such a great job making the stage look like a playground ",Dave said, hugging his son while holding his phone up taping the dance .
Four of the dancers on the right side acting as the bullies and the other dancers on the left side including Brittany and sisters defending the girl being bullied . Jeanette appears wearing her glasses and acting very shyly as some the dancers act like they were bullying her on the right the dancers on the left ,jumping up defending her trying to out dance one another . As the song nears the end Jeanette now acting more confident walks in-between the two sets of dancers she has a microphone around her ear that went to her mouth . She starts to sing
I don't care what they say
Ima' come back like a boomerang .
Won't let the haters get their way
Ima' come back like a boomerang .
She began to out dancing the bully dancers and soon they were all dancing together in a big group on the stage .As the song ended the girls all pose in different ways . The audience stood up clapping as the girls left the stage .
"Pretty nice work Simon",Alvin said ,smiling at his brother .
"Wow Jeanette really nailed that ",Theodore said smiling "I never saw her be the stand out before .She is always so shy "
Dave smiled "I have a little something for the girls ",He said, reaching in his bag pulling out some red roses .He gives some to each of the boys "Why don't you go give them to the girls ?"Dave said smiling at his sons .The boys ran back stage chasing the girls .Simon gave his flowers to Jeanette ,Theodore gave his to Eleanor ,and Alvin gave his to Brittany .They smiled, hugging the boys thanking them .
A couple weeks later .As Eleanor came out the locker room she was asked to change in .Dave was waiting for her he bent down and checked her helmet ,making sure it was on correctly .
"Are you sure you want to do this Eleanor? ",He said not sure about this .
"Sure ,Dave I been practicing for months ",She gave Dave a huge smile .
"Alright Eleanor but please be careful ",Dave gave her a hug .As she began walking Simon appeared .
"Are you sure she has her helmet on right ?",Simon asked ,eyeing his dad .The two hovering over her .
"Would you two stop it no one else is down here making such a fuss ",Eleanor said looking embarrassed as some of the other players came walking down the hallway toward the entrance to the field .Eleanor pushes away from them .
"Do we have to let her do this?",Simon asked his dad a worried look on his face.
"I am afraid so Simon ",Dave said hugging his son with the same worried look.
"Well, I guess all we can do is watch and hope she doesn't break anything ",Simon said smiling at his dad .Dave smiled at his son as they walk to their seats in the stands . Alvin,Brittany ,Theodore, and Jeanette were waiting for them .The group sat together wearing shirts with Eleanor's number on them .Every time she got knocked down Dave ,Alvin and Simon were watching to make sure she got up again .Jeanette and Brittany just told them not to worry ,she was fine and they needed to stop it. Theodore was much more calm about it .
With one minute left the clock was ticking as they handed the ball off to Eleanor the score was tied 14 to 14 .She ran off out running everyone and scored .They group hugged each other .
"Was there ever any doubt? ",Brittany said, smiling she eyed Alvin,Simon,and Dave .As the clock ran out they cheered .The group ran onto the field and Dave picked up Eleanor hugging her .
"You were great "Dave said ,hugging her he put her up his shoulders "I am going to take you kids out for treat to celebrate "The kids jump excitedly .
