"come on girls! let's go let's go! move it in here!" Abby yells for us as we walk into studio A

"congratulations ladies you are undefeated eight times in a row."

"that's a big deal, not too burst your bubble but it is early in the season a lot of dance studios don't have their competition numbers ready yet and it's gonna get tougher and tougher as we move along."

"we're celebrating accomplishments and i have a accomplishment i published my first book." Holly says

we all clap for Holly

"and i have my book signing tomorrow everyone's invited, i told Abby i gave her own invitation everyone here is invited"
"uh uh uh dance comes first right?" Abby says

"right Nia? yes."

"you inspired some of those quotes and affirmations." Holly says

"i just want credit where it's due." Abby says

"what is the title of your book?" Jill asks

"oh moments of clarity and i've had many moments of clarity sitting up there." Holly says and points upstairs

"finished?" Abby asks

"oh yes i am." Holly says

"anything else to add?" Abby asks

"no." Holly says

"i got a copy of the book in advance signed one of the quotes in the book is silence is golden, yeah let's see if she's gonna keep her mouth shut now." Abby says

"at the bottom of the pyramid Nia, not so great in the group routine.. new problems little late headpiece.. the minute the headpiece started to slip her confidence went down the tubes."

"and next we have Kendall, Kendall you were good i didn't have a problem with you at all until your mother started to go on and on and on oh this special part and you were supposed to have the apple in your hand blah blah blah."

"nope nope nope, you went on and on and made the kids work for their that spot." Jill says

"how fair is that Abby?"

"oh its not fair at all." Abby says

"next we have Maddie, Maddie no way you're ever going to be on top of the pyramid if you're not here for all the rehearsals and you know that, you were in LA you were working it was a dance job."

"yes." Maddie says

"the team comes first but i want you to do other things so it's kinda a double edge sword." Abby says

"and next.. Kayla, Kayla you had a alright week no solo, but when we did the dance off i didn't let you do it so why you didn't speak up and go Miss Abby why am i not the dance captain because i know you were confused as i said you were a strong or stronger dancer than Maddie.. are you still stronger?"

Abby shrugs "i don't know."
