Melanie Victoria Ziegler is the third and youngest daughter of Kurt Ziegler and Melissa Gisoni. She has two older sisters, Maddie and Kenzie. Mel has been dancing at the ALDC since she was two years old. She's been her whole life "Living on the danc...
The group dance was called 'My Pumps', Kenzie and Nia had a duet, same as Maddie and Chloe, they both also had solos, and the Hylands did too. Do you notice who isn't mentioned? Me of course, again.

After that, Miss Abby decided to take Maddie out for lunch, so we were staying with Gianna, but she had to leave, so we're alone.
"What should we do?" Kenzie asks.
"Watch movies?" I tell her.
"Laptop's dead and there's no TV." Kenzie says.
"Oh." I say, disappointed, "What if we go to the pool?"
"Yes!" Kenzie exclaims, "Let's do it!"
We run down to the pool and jump into the pool with all of our clothes on.
"Girls!" We hear Christi and we look up, Kelly and Christi were there with Chloe, Brooke, and Paige.
"You're it." Paige touches Chloe's shoulder and jumps to the pool.
Brooke does the same.
"Hey!" Chloe exclaims and jumps inside.
We all start swimming all over the pool, avoiding Chloe at all costs. I notice a flamingo pool float.

"I'm not gonna play anymore." I announce and get on the float.
"Oooh, I want to." Chloe says, swimming over to me, "I don't wanna play anymore either."
She climbs up and we both lay on the floor.
The rest of the girls climb up too.
"We should actually go change." Kenzie tells me.
We decided to go back to the hotel room and change. I wait for Kenzie to change and we go back down. When we get there, we quickly notice an inflatable volleyball net.
"Cool!" Kenzie exclaims and jumps to the pool.
Brooke pushes the flamingo float to the edge and I jump. We get closer to the net and get off.
"Alright," Paige starts, holding the ball, "Chloe will be with me. Brooke will be with the M's."
We all get in our positions.
"You know what's good of this?" Brooke asks and we all look at her, "This." She picks me from behind and everyone laugh.
"Hello!" We hear Nia and she jumps to the pool.
"Come with us!" Chloe tells Nia.
We all start playing after that, for hours, and it was amazing.
•Competition Day•
I think I'm drowning, but I don't know where the air is Or which direction to go And this pain in my chest It's still there It won't let me rest

athy appeared today with Vivi and two more dancers, she has a duet and a solo. Going up with Chloe and Kenzie and Nia.
"Please welcome from Candy Apples Dance Center, Vivi-Anne and Justice."
Come on, baby, put your dance shoes on Gonna take you out, we're gonna have some fun
Come on, baby, hey We're gonna rock and roll So come on, baby, hey We're gonna rock and roll
"Please welcome from Abby Lee Dance Company, Nia and Mackenzie."
They looked amazing on stage as they danced, I know for sure that they'll beat Vivi and Justice.
Chloe and Maddie did their duet 'Black Swan', the same one they did for Nationals. Now we have some more solos, Chloe's, Brooke's, Paige's, and the Candy Apples girl's.
"From Candy Apples Dance Center, Taylor."
So that's her name.
She starts dancing and both Miss Abby and I recognize the song. It was Chloe's.
"Oh God." Miss Abby says, just as surprised as me.
Hush now, don't speak This is just the start Words can't save us Spinning in my heart
"Please welcome from Abby Lee Dance Company, this is Chloe."
Chloe was obviously way better. After the solos, the Moms and Miss Abby rush off to get the girls ready for the group dance, meanwhile, I stayed there, but I wish I left.
"Melanie, psst, Melanie." I hear Cathy whisper.
Just ignore her, ugh.
The adults come back and sit down.
"Cathy won't leave me alone." I tell Miss Abby.
"Come on, Cathy." Miss Abby says, "You know better than that."
We switch seats and wait for the girls to go on stage.
"Please welcome from the Abby Lee Dance Company, 'My Pumps'."
Come on, girls! Do you believe in pumps? 'Cause I got something to sing about And it goes something like this
Pumps My pumps Pumps My pumps Pumps My pumps My pumps My pum-pum-pum-pum-pumps
Sometimes I wake up in the morning, don't want to get out of bed All the stress and strife of life just running through my head Then I walk over to my closet, and what do I see? Rows and rows of shiny pumps just staring back at me
At the end, Nia does the death drop and the audience goes wild.

Awards, Maddie's solo was second, and it was a shock, but I'm curious to know about Cathy's group.
"Mini duet/trio open." The announcer says, "Going to Abby Lee Dance Company, 'Snake Charmers' with a first-place platinum."
We all cheer as Kernzie goes receive the award. One win!"
"Junior solo Oscar category-- Going to Abby Lee Dance Company, act number 33 'Dream on a Star' with a first place platinum."
Chloe beat Taylor so two wins! The group dance was third, so it was kinda sad.
