"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I exclaim and hug her.

"Your welcome." Abby says and we pull away, "Now, go backstage and wait, I'll go back to the dressing room to get Maddie and Kalani. I'll tell your Mom that you are onstage, so that she thinks she 'missed' your solo, but you're actually going to perform after Maddie."

I run off backstage and there I start practicing my solo. I notice the girls coming and I go far away from them, I need to follow Abby's plan. They can't see me until I go onstage to perform.

"Please welcome Maddie to the stage." The EMCEE says and Maddie goes onstage.

Once upon a time, that's how the fairytales go, and the dreams reach out on a pot of gold...

Once she finishes her solo she leaves the stage, exactly by the side I'm standing on. I run to the other side but Kenzie sees me.

"Melanie?" She asks and I look at her scared.

"Melanie?"

I turn around and see Maddie looking at me.

"I gotta go." I say and run off to the whole other side of the backstage area.

I see as Keara, an MDP dancer, leaves the stage after performing her solo.

"Next up, welcome to the stage Melanie with 'Heather'." The EMCEE says and I walk onstage.

I look towards the ALDC group, cameras are moving, and the Moms and Abby are talking. I look over to the wings, where all of the ALDC and MDP dancers look at me confused.

I get into my starting position, and do all of my facials, now even harder than before, because of my feelings towards Abby's and Mom's favouritism.

I still remember
Third of December
Me in your sweater
You said it looked better

On me, than it did you
Only if you knew
How much I liked you
But I watch your eyes, as she

Walks by
What a sight for
Sore eyes
Brighter than a
Blue sky
She's got you
Mesmerized
While I die

Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half, as pretty
You gave her your sweater
It's just polyester, but you like her better
Wish I were Heather

Watch as she stands with
Her holding your hand
Put your arm 'round her shoulder
Now I'm getting colder

But how could I hate her?
She's such an angel
But then again, kinda
Wish she were dead, as she

Walks by
What a sight for
Sore eyes
Brighter than a
Blue sky
She's got you
Mesmerized
While I die

Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half, as pretty
You gave her your sweater
It's just polyester, but you like her better
I wish I were Heather

Wish I were Heather
Wish I were Heather

Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater
It's just polyester, but you like her better
Wish I were
