Stormy's POV

Get on the bus today in mermaid lagoon, I got on it after I gave the driver my ticket. But as I got on it's not done I turned around and saw Owlette who is covering her face and wearing a grocery store uniform.

"Hey owlette!" I greeted.

""Oh, hey Stormy." Owlette answered as she uncovered her face.

"What's with the grocery store outfit?" I asked as I was confused on why she was wearing it.

"Um, I have a job." I Owlette answered as I was shocked on what she just said

"Troupe A is really expensive, and the only way to be part of it is if I have a job." Owlette explained.

"That's cool!" I told her.

"Can you please not tell anyone? The only person that knows it is Catboy, and now you. Please Stormy I'm trusting you and catboy not to tell anyone." Owlette exclaimed while shaking me.

"Okay okay I won't tell anyone can you please stop shaking me before I threw up on you. And ruin your outfit? Because I think it's cute on you." I complemented.

"Gee thanks." Owlette thanked me.

"Why would I?" I wanted to know.

"Because I feel like Troupe A wouldn't understand and you know what Jake is like." Owlette explained even further.

"Let's just keep this our own little secret please?" Owlette pleaded with her baby eyes.

"As long as you get me something for free." I told her.

"Are you kidding me right now?" Owlette asked with her hands on her hips.

"Of course I'm kidding." I said as we both laughed.

"Of course, I would never do that." I exclaimed.

Owlette's POV

As everyone were in studio A talking, Peter started to talk to get our attention.

"Listen up everyone, just a reminder payments for the costume are due at the end of this week." Peter told us.

"If anyone forgets to pay remind them Jake." Peter excited.

"I will, will, will!" Jake said as he looked at me.

Jake's POV

"Okay let's move forward." I told the trope as they got into position with me turning on the music.

The music we were rehearsing to was teenage dream by Katy Perry.

"Five, six, seven eight!" I told them as we started to rehearse.

As I was going around checking everyone, I noticed that Owlette was not getting the moves right as she was messing up, she was also out of her space.

I don't really know what's going on with her.

"Stop, stop, stop!" I yelled.

"Owlette, do you even know what the timing?" I wanted to know.

"Yep." Owlette answered.

"Are you sure?" I asked as she just nodded her head.

"Pirate Princess, can you please show her the dance moves on the timing?" I asked as she started to teach Owlette as she copies her.

"This isn't troupe B, so pick up the steps." I told her.

"Yes, Mr Hutchinson sorry sir." Owlette apologized.

Owlette's POV

Once the rehearsal was over I was having a hard time balancing everything out. That's when stormy came over to me.

"Hey, can we talk?" Stormy asked.

"Is everything okay?" Owlette asked.

"Yeah everything is fine." I lied.

"Are you sure everything is okay?" Stormy wanted to know.

"I've just been working a lot so it's hard to keep up." I explained.

"I think you should maybe think about going to Troupe B, if this is too much for you." Stormy told me.

"No, a Troupe A is where I want to be.I just didn't know it was going to be this expensive with all the costumes and competitions and stuff." Owlette exclaimed.

"Well what about if I help you?" Stormy asked.

"If you miss a dance routine, I can teach you the routine." Stormy said.

"You want to help me?' I asked.

"Of course! Why not?" Stormy exclaimed.

"Okay, that would be really awesome!" I told her.

"Hey, thank you!" I thanked her.

"No problem." Stormy answered.

Cubby's POV

As Bart and I decided to stay behind to work on our solo rehearsal, Bart was showing off his moves.

"That was good, Bart!" Exclaimed.

"Thanks, Cubby!" Bart thanked me.

"It was wasn't it." I said with a smile.

"Hey, Cubby of you want the solo you're gonna have to work hard. I'm gonna head home." Bart told me.

"Do you need help?" Bart wanted to know.

"Nope, I'm going to practice." I answered as Bart went home while I stayed by myself working really hard on my solo rehearsal cause i want it.

Owlette's POV

"So, we just need to rehearse on the timing." Stormy exclaimed while I nodded.

"I am just having such a hard time remembering the steps." I told her.

As Stormy was showing me the moves, I was really happy and enjoying myself.

This is really sweet of stormy to help me, because no one else would volunteer to help me.

"Owlette, come over here." Stormy called as I did.

"Why can't you just tell Jake about your situation?" Stormy asked in a whisper.

"Are you kidding me? I can't tell Jake about what I'm doing." I whispered back.

"He has to understand." Stormy told me.

"Do you know how many people want to be in troupe A?" I mean Lisa is waiting at the door to get in." I exclaimed.

"Why don't I just cover for you?" Stormy asked.

"Really?" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, I'm covering for you, it's fine." Stormy said.

"Thank you so much!" I thanked her while hugging her.

"It's no problem Owlette, that's what friends do." Stormy said as she hugged me back with both of us continuing our dance.

As everyone arrives into the studio for their solo auditions, Jake was holding Izzy's bag for her.

Bart's POV

As I was doing danceology, and hip hop, everyone was clapping.

After I was done, I started to be a little concerned about Cubby because I noticed that he started to walk a bit weird.

"I hope Cubby's okay." I thought to myself.

"Make me proud baby!" Jake shouted.

"Jake, stop it." I told him as I began to show off my best dance moves and technical moves to bad bitch.

"Yay Jakey likey." I heard Jake said.

Stormy's POV

"The last person is Owlette." Peter exclaimed.

"Oh, she's at the doctors... she'll be here in five minutes." I told him.

"She'll be here any minute. Actually, let me call her and see where she is." I exclaimed.

"Okay." Peter answered as I ran to my lover and started to call Owlette

As volunteered to Owlette up because o know her situation, she answered.

"Hey, stormy what's up?" Owlette asked.

"You better hurry up, because Peter Pan is getting on to you." I told her.

"Okay, my shift finishes in 15 minutes I'll probably get there in an hour." Owlette answered.

"See you then." I told her.

"Okay." Owlette said as she hung up.

"I hope so, because she's going to miss your chance." Peter exclaimed.

"I hope so too, because she's missing out on a big opportunity." I agreed.

Peter's POV

"Owlette, is now late where is she? Maybe it's time for her to head back to troupe B. But that's just a thought in my head." I exclamed with thinking.

Once the auditions was over, I started to speak to stormy.

"So, Owlette is still not here?" I asked.

"She'll be here." Stormy exclaimed.

"She missed the whole audition." Jake said.

"I did say five minutes." Stormy answered.

"She still missed the whole audition." Jake repeated.

"Jake's right Stormy, Owlette didn't show up to the whole solo audition. What am I going to do for her illusionary show up on time?" I asked.

"I have decided who will be the solo feature. And the dancer is going to be Cubby!" I announced.

"Yay! Yo ho way to go Cubby!" Jake and Izzy cheered as everyone else congratulating him and cheered while clapping as well and hugged him.

"Bart you came second, so you're going to be Cubby's understudy." I told him.

"Yeah, Bart." Everyone cheered as they all hugged him and cheered.

Owlette's POV

Once I arrived back to the dance studio, I placed my bag down and joined the rest of the team.

"Owlette, it's a bit surprising you turned up." Check exclaimed as he earned a hit in the head by his girlfriend.

"Ouch you hit hard." Jake whined.

"Anyway, you missed the solo audition." Jake told me.

"Sorry, I had stuff to do." I apologized.

"Yes sorry? I'm not sure where you've been, but this is Troupe A." Jake explained.

"You wouldn't put me in Troupe A, if you thought I wasn't good enough." I yelled.

"I wouldn't either, if I knew you were going to be late all the time. We don't have time for someone who's not supposed to be here!!" Jake yelled.

"I deserve to be in Troupe A." I defeated myself.

"Oh really?" Jake asked.

"Yeah." I answered.

"Because the way I see it, you don't deserve to be in Troupe B either." Jake said as I immediately picked up my stuff and ran off crying out of Studio A.

Izzy's POV

Once I slapped my boyfriend across the face, I began to yell at him.

"You didn't need to be so mean! So, she misses the audition it's not that big of a deal." I yelled.

"Not that big of a deal? It's not just the auditions she comes late and then leaves early she's not decided to Troupe A." Jake said.

"Did you even know what's going on in her life?" I asked.

"No, do you?" Jake exclaimed.

"Because if you do, why doesn't she tell anyone?" Jake wanted to know.

"I can't do anything." I answered.

"But, I'm not just going to stand here and watch you be horrible to Owlette. You're lucky that our kids didn't see this. Because if they did they would literally saying that you're a horrible dance captain. And I would agree with everyone here. So maybe you should stay in the dance studio by yourself and think about what you just did." I said.

"Come on guys let's go see if Owlette's okay." I told the rest of the troupe as we left the studio A leaving Jake alone.

Cubby's POV

As I was sitting on the bench in studio a, I placed in ice pack on my foot. It turns out my injury was worse than I thought. Unfortunately I can't let anyone know about this or else I will get pulled out of the solo. I can't let Jake or Izzy know about this. Or else Jake will ground me for weeks.

"Hey, congratulations on the solo!" Bart congratulated me.

"Thanks, Bart!" I thanked him but I started to Winces a bit as I moved my foot.

"Is your ankle okay?" Bart wanted to know.

"Oh yeah yeah, it's totally fine." I lied even though it wasn't fine.

"All right cool, I'll catch you later." Bart exclaimed.

"See ya." I waved goodbye.

I'm sure my ankle will heal up, I'll just have to keep it on the low for now.

Bart's POV

As Finn and I were talking about what happened earlier, Izzy came over to us.

"Hey, do you guys still won't me to be to your dance captain?" Izzy wanted to know.

"Oh yes, please!!" The boys pleaded.

"I am sick of the way Jake's treating everyone. It's time for someone to step up and be a true leader. It's time for me to take back my dance Captain role." I told the boys as they were happy and hugged me which I happily approved.
