Chapter 21 See You Again
Lisa's POV
"That was really good, Lisa." Cubby told me as he walked over to me.
"Thank you Cubby." I thanked him
Now that I'm back in Troupe A, I am never going to take it for granted again.
Izzy's POV
There were now indian dancers in Studio A, rehearsal and Troupe A is watch them.
Bhartatantyam dancing is a very expressive dance style originating from southern India. I brought in these dancers because they are so expressive and emotional and that's what we need to bring into our routine. Once the Indian dancers were finished with their dance, everyone clapped.
"Give it up for our Bhartatantyam dancers!" I told the team as the Indian dancers waved goodbye and left.
"As dancers I thought it'd be important to show you guys a different style of dance that we don't usually look at." I said
"Bhartatantyam dancers are..." I was about to explain as a Bart interrupting me.
"Wait, wait, wait Bhatha what?" Bart asked.
"Bhartatantyam, so my point is that way they dance was full of soul. I mean I think that's what our regionals routine is missing." I said.
"I think we should totally do one of their moves." Pirate Princess suggested.
"Like...like that one with their feet." Pirate Princess exclaimed as everyone agreed with her.
"We could do something like that just the feeling and the heart." I exclaimed.
"What if we do an overhead lift." Lisa asked.
"No, absolutely not that's way too risky. We can't throw that in at this moment." Peter exclaimed.
"Lisa and I used to do overhead Liftz all the time." Cubby exclaimed.
"Yeah, all the time." Lisa said.
"Yeah, what about like the helicopter lift or something like that." I suggested.
"Agreed." Everyone agreed on my idea.
"Yeah." Everyone said.
"Yup, easy." Lisa exclaimed.
"Okay, we'll think about it." Peter told us.
"But in the meantime, get back to rehearsal okay?" Peter wanted to know.
"Okay, we all told him as he left along with Red Jessica.
"How cool would helicopter...?" Lisa said.
"Yeah, yeah!" Bart said.
"Right?" Cubby exclaimed.
Cubby's POV
Izzy, Lisa and I started to walk into studio B. That's when Izzy started to speak.
"I was find of really disappointed I mean I haven't seen it before and that's why I wanted to ask you guys if you could take me through the helicopter lift, if you could just show me like how you do it and stuff?" Izzy asked.
"Yeah." Stormy answered.
"Yeah?" Izzy exclaimed.
"Sure." I said.
"So, basically Cubby, stands in a second a wide second parallel feet and I step in front." Lisa told me as she steps in front of Cubby.
"I extend my right leg, cubby then grabs underneath my right leg and my left hip." Lisa finished explaining.
"Okay!" Izzy said.
"And then Lisa jumps and I throw her in the air. Her right leg is going to helicopter over my head." I told her.
"Okay." Izzy exclaimed.
"Then I finish off by catching her in my arms." I said.
"Okay, so could you guys show me right now like full out?" Izzy asked.
"Uh...there might not be enough for space - the ceilings are a little low in here." I told them.
"Yeah." Izzy exclaimed.
"We couldn't go into Studio A." Lisa suggested.
"Yeah if it's empty. We could totally do it right?" Izzy wanted to know.
"Yeah yeah!" Lisa said.
"Cubby, are you not comfortable with doing it or...?" Izzy exclaimed.
"I'm just a little worried now that red Jessica and Peter Pan said no." I told her.
"Listen, Cubby, I just came from Troupe B, and I don't want to go back there." Lisa said.
Now I'm unsure about doing the lift mainly because of my ankle and it just started to heal. This is a really risk lift and I don't want to possibly upset right injury or injure it further.
"Cubby you want to shine right?" Lisa asked as I nod my head really fast.
"Yeah, okay. You're right we'll do it!" I said.
"Yeah?" Izzy exclaimed.
I can't tell Izzy or Lisa about the real reason I don't want to do the lift because Peter Pan has just threatened to take my solo away and if Izzy finds out that I injured my ankle, she would go to Peter and my solo could be gone.
Stormy's POV
"I don't know I don't think it went too well but at least they didn't laugh at me this time. I dunno I'm just happy to be back at the studio, and this is where I always feel safest Pirate Princess." I told her.
"Totally, you know what? Just focus on regionals that way you won't think about the audition." Pirate Princess said.
Pirate Princess is right I have to focus on regionals and not on the audition. Whatever happens, happens.
Finn's POV
"Oh my god, look at this pomegranate, just the way the red emphasis the fruit this is probably one of mother nature's best cre..." I didn't get to finish because the worker got tired of me talking so she gave me my drink.
"I know I know, you're a busy lady all right" i said as I gave her the money.
"All right so...it's cool." I said.
All of a sudden I began to stare behind a girl.
"Uh...uh aim to your left -go!" I exclaimed.
The girl was trying to get out of my way but I was trying to hide. That's because I was in Peter's cafe and i saw this guy named mike. I kind of just left my dance trip without telling him and I just don't have the guts to confront him about it. I then hide behind this little girl. In not proud of it, but sometimes I've got to do what I've got to do.
"Stay, right here, stay right here." I told the little girl.
"Hey, Mer boy!" What's up?" Mike asked as I slowly got up.
"Hey, uh here's your juice kid." I told her while giving her my juice to the girl as she walked away from me.
Mike has a nickname for me and it's called Mer Boy.
You know since I'm originally from the sea and I am a Mer boy, half human half boy, so Mer boy makes sense.
"Finn what are you doing?" Mike asked.
"Uh you know I just...I like to give you know kids juices." I said as we did our secret handshake.
"I really like to help out in the community sometimes." I exclaimed.
"It's been awhile." Mike said.
"Yeah! You know it's been awhile!" I answered.
"Yeah." Mike said.
"How time flies." I exclaimed.
"Anyways, I've been texting and calling you I mean...you know sea have been practicing hard for that show and we need you." Mike said.
Sea is an underwater dance crew that I used to be in. I left sea because I really wanted to be better myself as a dancer. I really wanted to get formal training, I just wanted to just be well-rounded.
"We've been trying to call you and we haven't heard from you I mean..." Mike said.
"Well I mean..." I said.
"What have you been up to?" Mike asked.
As I dropped my phone it just hasn't... And my phone started to buzz.
"But I mean yesterday I got it fixed." I told him.
"So I mean I'm all good now." I exclaimed.
"Perfect so..." Mike said.
My phone started to beep and buzz.
"Ooh! I got a text from my girlfriend!" I answered.
"Yeah, you know it's on and...I mean no I mean we're fighting right now so it's...no I don't have a girlfriend actually." I said.
"Oh! So, come..." Mike said.
"What?" I asked.
"Let's have a drink or..." Mike exclaimed.
"No! I mean she..." I said.
"We need you." Mike told me.
"I mean I want her back." I said.
"So, I've got to go and you know console her." I exclaimed.
"I'm sorry man, I've got to go..." I said.
"Mer boy, come on." Mike said.
I don't have a girlfriend but find Mike finds out that I was in Troupe A, I wouldn't be able to live with that.
Cubby's POV
As Lisa, Izzy, and I walk into studio A, we found Finn doing pirouettes.
"Let's just tell him." Lisa exclaimed.
"Hey, Finn!" Lisa said.
"Oh, hey guys what's up?" Finn asked."okay we need two things - you can't tell anyone what we're going to do right now and we need you to spot us." Lisa told him.
"Yes and yes!" Finn answered.
"Finn, we're going to do the helicopter lift." Lisa said.
"Really?" Finn asked.
"Yeah, really." Lisa said.
"Okay." Finn answered.
I am really happy Finn's there uh it's find of a safety next for him.
"Lisa, Finn are you two ready?" Izzy asked.
I am pushing myself to do the lift because that's what great dancers do.
"Yeah, let's do it!" I said.
"I think we're good." Lisa exclaimed.
"Okay." Izzy said.
"We got this, 5, 6..." Lisa said as we started to do the helicopter lift.
Finn has his arms out just in cause goes wrong.
"Perfect!" Izzy said.
I'm really relieved that we did the helicopter, my ankle feels fine and I think that we could totally add this in to the routine.
Stormy's POV
As I was sitting in studio A waiting for a phone call from my agent. I started to hear my phone ring as I go out to answer it. I continuesly hear my phone ring as I immediately answer it. I've been waiting for my agent to call to let me know about this audition.
"Really? That's amazing! When do I start shooting?" I asked.
I'm on the phone with my agent and he tells me that I got the part in a the show, and I'm so excited!
"During the weekend." My agent explained.
"Oh my God the weekend? You mean like this weekend?" I asked.
"Yes!" My agent said.
What am I supposed to do? The shooting of the TV show is the same weekend as regionals.
"I just have to figure some things out and I'll give you a call when I know what's going on. Thanks you too bye." I said as I hung up, and then sighed in frustration.
Owlette's POV
As I was in Peter's office, he started to speak.
"Owlette, I need your money for regionals." Peter said.
"I know I'll have get it to you by the end of the week just like you asked." I told him.
I haven't been able to work enough shifts and to make enough money in order to pay for the rest of regionals.
"Is there something going on?" Peter wanted to know.
"No, I promise everything's fine." I answered.
"Are you sure?" Peter exclaimed.
"Yeah." I told him.
"Because you know my door's are always open." Peter reminded me.
"i know don't worry Peter end of the week." I said.
"Okay, stormy." Peter exclaimed.
"Okay." I told him as I then left his office.
I'm really worried that I'm not going to be able to pay. But I'm just going to brush it off and take a few extra shifts and hope, and pay that I'll be able to make enough money by the end of the week.
Izzy's POV
As rehearsal began, we were working on the new version of our regionals routine to Never Doubt I Love. Peter and Red Jessica were watching. I choreographed Lisa and Cubby to do their helicopter lift. Lisa and Cubby began to do the helicopter lift. But all of a sudden Cubby landed on the floor making a thud.
"CUBBY!" We all called as we all rushed over to him especially Peter and Red Jessica.
Once we arrived, we found him holding onto his ankle while Cubby was on the ground.
Jake and I were kneeling down to the ground to try and see if Cubby was all right. By the looks of it he's in so much pain.
We all started to ask him what's wrong. I don't even know if Cubby broke his foot. That's when Red Jessica rushed to go get help. We all got down to the ground next to cubby to make sure he's okay, but he is in a lot of pain.
All of a sudden stormy came rushing over to him and sat down next to Cubby, as she began to rub his back while he was holding on to his ankle.
Stormy's POV
As I was the Paramedics walking into the studio, Peter guided then to where Cubby was on the floor holding his ankle in pain, while crying.
"What Happened Mr. Pan?" The paramedics asked him.
"Well, I don't know what happened, Cubby won't tell us." Peter answered.
"Okay, we are going to take him to the hospital." The paramedics said.
"Which one of you would like to come with Cubby?" The paramedics wanted to know
"I would like to go with him, please." I told them with my puppy dog eyes.
"Sure, you can ride in the back of the ambulance with him." The paramedics exclaimed.
"As the paramedics injected some medicine into Cubby's arm to make his injury less unbearable.
"Okay, let's get Cubby to the hospital." The paramedics said as they picked up Cubby and placed him in the stretcher, as they wheeled him out of Studio A with me following.
"Stormy, give us any updates on Cubby please." All of my friends exclaimed.
"You got it, guys!" I told them as I left.
Once we were out side of the dance studio, the paramedics opened the back door and placed the places Cubby inside as they strapped him in as I was sitting on the bench, holding Cubby's hand in the process.
"Don't worry Cubby, you'll be okay. I'm here. Stormy's here okay." I told him.
"I'm...I'm...sorry, Stormy I shouldn't have never broken up with you." Cubby exclaimed.
"It's okay, we'll worry about that later, right now I'm worried about you and your ankle." I said.
"Okay, Mr. Andrews can you please tell us what happened?" The paramedics wanted to know.
"Well, I fell while my friend Lisa and I were doing the helicopter lift." Cubby explained.
"Cubby, is there something you didn't tell us before about your ankle?" I asked.
"I don't want to talk about it." Cubby exclaimed.
"That's understandable." I told him as we arrived at the hospital as the paramedics take cubby inside.
The Paramedic's POV.
"What happened?" The nurse asked.
"Well, from what we heard from Cubby he fell while he and his friend were doing the Helicopter lift." I explained.
"Cubby needs an X-ray on his ankle to rule out any broken bones." The nurse said as we nodded in agreement.
We took Cubby's cloths off and placed him in a hospital gown.
"Ms. Stormy, would mind waiting in the waiting room for us please?" I asked while the rest of the team immediately take Cubby for his x-ray on his ankle.
"Okay, I'll wait in the waiting room." Stormy said as she left.
Cubby's POV
As I was being taken to the x-ray room to have my ankle X-rayed on, I was then placed on the and the doctor positions the x-ray camera towards my ankle and my x-ray began.
After my x-ray was over they took me off the x-ray table and placed me on my hospital bed and took me back to the a and e.
Doctor's POV
Okay, Peter and Stormy according to Cubby's x-ray results here he has a third grade sprain on his ankle and it will require surgery to fix it." I explained.
"Oh no. That's terrible." Stormy exclaimed.
Izzy's POV
As we were all worried and anxious about Cubby, we were all pacing back and forth.
"This is really bad!" Jake said.
"I know, I'm so scared." Owlette exclaimed.
Right now we're just waiting around the studio for Peter, Red Jessica, and Stormy to come back and tell us what's going on with Cubby.
That's when Owlette walked over to me.
"I don't really want to leave at a time like this but I have to go...it's another PJ Masks mission I have to do this." Owlette told me."
"It's fine but don't be too long." I said.
"Okay, thanks Izzy." Owlette thanked me as she hugged me and left.
"Oh yeah one more thing, can you text me and let me know what happens?" Owlette asked.
"Sure thing Owlette." I said as she smiled.
"Thanks!" Owlette answered as she went out the door.
"I'll let you know everything that happens don't worry." I shouted.
"Thank you." Owlette shouted back.
"Bye!" I said.
Meanwhile everyone including me was confused on why Owlette who was leaving at a time like this.
"How could she leave at s time like this?! Like how does she always leave?" Jake yelled.
"Jake, she has to go somewhere and don't worry about it. It's no one else's business. So do me a favor and STAY OUT OF HER BUSINESS!!" I yelled.
"Ye, yes ma'am." Jake answered.
That's when Peter Pan Red Jessica and Stormy came back.
"Who's Cubby doing? Is he alright?" Will he be returning, anytime soon?" We all asked a lot of questions.
"Okay everyone settle down, unfortunately Cubby's injury is serious, it's a grade three ankle sprain." Peter told us.
"Excuse me Peter, but how long is Cubby going to be out for?" Lisa wanted to know.
"Well, the doctors are still running tests but...erm he's definitely out of regionals." Red Jessica answered.
"What, really?" Lisa exclaimed.
"I'm sorry." Red Jessica said as Jake placed his hand on my shoulder and I put my hand on top of his hand.
Everyone was silent.
I'm feeling horrible about this whole thing. What have I done to Cubby. I just took it too far.
"This is all your fault! Are you happy now?" Stormy exclaimed as she walked over to me.
"Cuz if you just listen to Peter Pan and Red Jessica and not let them do the lift, this wouldn't happened. You're the dance captain." Stormy told me.
"Hey, this is not Izzy's fault." Lisa said.
"Yeah Lisa and Cubby said they could do it." Pirate Princess exclaimed.
"Okay, but Cubby clearly couldn't do the lift. So Izzy shouldn't have let them do it." Misty said.
"Guys, I don't think it's fair to blame Cubby in this." Finn told them.
"No no! It's definitely Cubby's responsibility." Bart said.
"He knew his ankle was hurt he should have said no to the lift." Bart told us.
"Bart what did you just say?" We all asked as we were all now cont on what Bart just said.
"Bart, just saying you knew he was injured and didn't tell us?" Finn wanted to know.
"You didn't tell me?" Jake exclaimed.
Right now we will all annoyed at Bart, we're not telling anyone about Cubby's injury.
Owlette's POV
As we were all working on our homework, Bart Simpson wasn't he was in the middle of dancing. My boyfriend not doing this homework is a no good moment.
We're always rehearsing at the studio and we have to fine time for work.
That's when the cubby came in with crutches.
"Oh my God Cubby!" Stormy yelled as she ran to him and kissed his face all over while we all ran up to him.
"How are you Cubby?" Stormy asked.
"I'm okay um...I ripped the ligaments pretty badly and it looks like I'm going to need surgery. Oh yeah, and the doctor says that I won't be able to dance for months." Cubby explained.
Cubby's POV
It's really upsetting coming back to the studio and seeing everyone because even though I am injured I know they're going to move on with their lives they're going to regionals without me.
That's when Stormy hugged me.
"I'm sorry Cubby." Lisa apologized.
"Thanks, Lisa." I thanked her.
"I'm...I'm...sorry guys...I'm sorry I let you down." I exclaimed as everyone hugged me.
A group hug started. After everybody let go,I walked as I started to crutched over to the table.
I've worked so hard to get to the point I'm now trained so many years... And I got a solo, and everything was falling into place and now, it's all ruined.
