Kate, Lucian and Phoebe had been in the office for a few minutes. The dancers watched as the three of them conversed with one another.

They could tell Kate was getting annoyed with the constant presence of Lucian, they didn't blame her though because they were sick of the sight of him as well.

Everyone furrowed their eyebrows once they saw Kate reluctantly stand up and take Lucians hand in hers as they shook hands.

"Why is Ms. Kate shaking his hand?" Giselle turned to her friends.

"I don't know, but whatever this decision was, I don't think Ms. Kate had a choice." Chloe spoke up.

They all knew that Kate had their best interest at mind and she wouldn't do anything unless it was absolutely necessary.

One thing was for certain though, if they were going to lose the studio then they weren't going down without a fight.

Kara and James were in the music studio practicing a dance for James' Aunt Kathy's wedding.

Kara only agreed to practice the dance because James had told her it would be a good time for her to be distracted with everything that was going on with the team.

If she was being completely honest though, she had something that she had been wanting to say ever since they came back to the studio from Nationals.

She had some doubts about being dance captain this year and she wasn't sure she wanted to continue being it.

Kara wanted to concentrate on her dancing, since last year she focused on her teams needs instead of her own and she needed to take matters into her own hands.

She just needed to find the right time to speak to Kate, maybe she would change her mind, maybe she wouldn't.

The dance came to and end along with the music.

"Wow. We need to work on that." James told her:

"Just a little bit." Kara nodded, trying to gain her steady breathing back.

"What's the matter?" James saw the look on Kara's face as she stared down to the floor.

"I'm just really worried." Kara confessed.

"Worried?"

"It's easy for James to be cool he never worries about anything. But I'm in a complicated situation right now so I don't know how to be chill."

"We haven't heard anything about the studio." Kara told him.

"We are going to Internationals." James stated. "Do you know what that means?" Miami! We are going to Miami, baby!"

Kara let out a squeal as James dove down and picked her up by her legs and spun her around on his shoulders.

"Miami!" James exclaimed once he put her down. "What else is up with you though, I know that tense look on your face."
