Alex and Aarron packed up Brooke's car boot "yous got enough stuff" Brooke laughed as she climbed in the driver side Quinn in the passenger side "hopefully!" Arron laughed bringing out the small camera in the back of the car to start vlogging "okay so it's almost 10 and we're heading out we both have a solo a duet and we have a entered our junior group and... we're getting really weird looks..." She trailed off shutting down the camera Brooke and Quinn laughing in the front seats "you laugh now but this is what is paying for college" Alex said stubbornly.
They arrived at the Studios dressing area Brooke and Quinn so amused by all that was going on Quinn taking out her camera to take some pictures amused by the amount of glitter and hairspray "Alex you're on" Abby yelled as Alex made a run for the stage Quinn and Brooke taking a seat in the auditorium Brooke was surprised by Alex's calmness "you got this!" Aarron reassured Alex as she walked on the stage the song started and she went all out by the end she walked off jumping into Aaron's arms "you were so good" he said putting her down before his number was called Aaron came off stage feeling proud of himself they made there way back to the dressing area meeting Brooke and Quinn who were grinning ear to ear "that was amazing... AMAZING!" Brooke said picking Alex up and spinning her around "it was good kid" Quinn said patting Alex on the head. "Alex" was shouted from a little voice came from behind Brooke and a little Lydia made a jump for Alex's arms "we saw you dance!" Nathan said pulling his two daughters in for a hug "it was so good" Jamie said Haley nodding along
"ALEX I CANT DO THIS MYSELF" came from a very stressed out Aarron attempting to rally together a group of students "I have to help hold on!" Alex laughed making her way over with Lydia on her hip clapping and the ten girls repeating "Abby will be back any minute so let's get into position and stretch!" The girls all began doing what they are told and Alex left them with Aaron to return Lydia.
"She is so your daughter" Nathan laughed in Brooke's ears causing her to smile Arron returned to the group after Abby came back to the group "you have to teach me that clap thing! Anyway these guys are on next better go!" Aarron said "we will go watch I want to see your teaching" Haley said and the group made there way to the auditorium before Lydia ran back to Alex's arms "or me and Lydia could come with you if that's okay?" Haley laughed "yes come on your with me kid" Alex laughed pulling Lydia on to her hip Haley following behind all the girls and Arron and Alex holding hands.
"Okay girls gs don't look to scared its okay the judges aren't going to bite I promise!" Alex said "but what if we lose Abby will be mad" said one of the little girls "you aren't Abby's girls your alex and Aaron's girls so who cares if you don't win its about having fun so don't worry about your parents about Abby worry about me and Aarron and we are more than proud of all of you girls and you could lose every comp for the next year and we will still be proud and you should be proud!" The girls numbers were called and Haley was smiling at how cute Alex was giving such good teacher advice to her class.
Alex met back with her parents just as she was getting ready for her duet
"hey you look beautiful Alex!" Brooke said looking at her costume "oh my gosh theres miss carol and Kaitlin?" Alex said ignoring Brooke's comment!" Alex said nervously "she beat us last time!" Alex continued Aaron coming over just as nervous "did you see?" Aaron continued Alex nodding "you will be fine?" Brooke reassured her daughter Alex nodded Nathan stepped in "don't think about them you will be amazing!" Nathan assured his daughter Alex smiled not fooling anyone she was nervous she Normally wouldn't be but she wanted to make Brooke and Nathan proud.
Alex headed back stage attempting to act carefully not to show her nerves but was shaking inside she was a number ahead and freaking out. Brooke Nathan and the group were sitting with 20 kids from Alex's studio watching the duets. "Mom I need you!" said a nervous Alex beside Brooke everyone stared in shock Alex not phased Brooke stood up quickly running backstage with Alex "just stay here please?" Alex asked sadly "I'm not going anywhere you will be fine!" Brooke said so happy that Alex called her mom so naturally. Alex's number was called and she walked out on stage the lights and music played and she fell into it, The dance was lyrical slow and graceful. Alex ran off and straight into Brooke's arms Brooke has tears in her eyes as she turned on her feet "that was so beautiful Alex that was unreal" Brooke said face close to Alex to reassure that she heard.
Awards came a little after the duet it was a pretty short competition but it was small and invite only which Alex was thankful for. Alex had a clean sweep and was 1st overall in duet the girls coming first in their category. Walking off the stage and being ran at by seven over excited little girls was what made the competition for Alex. One little girl on their back and holding the hands of two girls each walked back to the dressing area trophies being carried by the little ones being filmed for YouTube met Nathan who scooped Alex up so excited that she had won everyone buzzing around her. "Out for dinner tonight On us kid" Nathan said excited at the victory in the family!
