The Next Step ~ Internationals 2 (Season 6)

Nothing Will Stop Me

Miss Kate POV
Today is the second round of internationals and I'm confident the Sophia can get the title of Miss international Soloist. But she's not up, and I have been calling her for the last ten minutes.

"Sophia!" Kate yelled for the 7th time in a row. "Who is it?" The disorientated and sleepy dancer answered. "It's Kate, You need to get up! It's the female solo round today" Kate said. A troupe and Giselle had gone down to the Buffet, it seemed best to wait for them there.

Sophia POV
Oh yeah, it's my Solo today....WAIT! it's my solo today?!

"I'm ready" She ran to the door, eager to get to the stage, only to release she was in he dressing gown and pyjamas - don't dance clothes

Welcome to the second day of the absolute dance international championship. I'm chuck Anderson and this is my co host Ashley leggat!

Ashley leggat - SNR network
Hi, thank you chuck and What a show we had Yesterday! I'm just as excited for the female Solo round. Everyone will be competing for that 5 point advantaged and the title of miss international soloist!

Chuck Anderson - SNR Network
Yes they will! And it looks like we're about to see our first Soloist it's the Welsh team lets go to the stage...

Piper POV
We are in our seats at the very top of the auditorium where the dancers wait and the Welsh Female Soloist is really good. James didn't mention a Welsh team last year but it seems England and Wales are both competing from the same group of counties.

Sophia POV
This Welsh Soloist is really good, I do know of her studio from a previous Nationals I went to when I lived back in England. But I'm sure that beat her.

Although Sophia was on a rival team from them, it didn't stop her from really getting into their Performance. "She is so good!" She whispered to Skylar, "Whooooooo!" Sophia let out a powerful Roar of appreciation. "Rwyf am i chi i Ennill rhyngwladol os nad ydym yn ei wneud!" She yelled. Speaking perfect Welsh, Much to A troupes shock.

"What are doing?" Skylar asked, She was more scared of her behaviour if anything else. "I'm supporting my second heritage: Wales" She answered. "But she's on a rival Studio!" Skylar yelled over the loud music. "Hey, we're all sisters! No matter our dance team"

Skylar POV
I don't know why Sophia loves the Welsh team but it's just another dance team we have to beat.

Chuck Anderson - SNR Network
Well. Wales' first time at the absolute internationals and they're smashing their way through the competition. Next up is Italy!

'If I hold my hand, on my heart...'

The next track started to play and Noah remembered something crucial. "Oh guys, I just remembered that I have to go to a dance captain meeting now so I'll be back soon"

Noah POV
I'm really curious as to what this meeting is about.

Internationals Lobby

Noah POV
I'm here with all the other dance captains and we're all just waiting to find out what the meeting is about.

All the dance captains had the same confused expressions on they're faces, and everyone stood in silence until the Internationals board started talking, "The information your about to learn is Serious! But Most of you will be gone and won't need to know it but still here it goes - As you have prepared a finals routine and Semi finals routine. This year they shall be swapped around!

Noah POV
What?

"You will perform your Finals routine in the Semi finals and Semi finals routine in the Finals! GO!"

Noah POV
What is even going on right now?"

Ella POV
I'm about to go on for my Solo and I can see the next step across the wings. Sophia, the girl i met earlier looks really confident. It's kinda off putting.

Strangely enough, Summerford was performing Second to last with Carmine's team in before them. With all the excitement, they hadn't had a chance to see her. So when Kate caught a glimpse of her in the wings. She had to say hello.

"Carmine! It's me Kate!" She ran over and hugged her tightly. "Guten tag Kate!" They both looked so happy to see each other. "How are you finding internationals?" She asked, "It's great I.....

Carmine POV
I hate it! All I want to do is dance on that stage but I'm stuck as an alternate! Things have to change when we return to regionals next year or this is 3 dance seasons as an alternate!

"It's great" Carmine said, putting on her best fake smile. "Well I've got to go so I hope to see you later!" Kate walked away.

Carmine POV
You know what? Maybe things don't need to change after all, Maybe I just need somewhere to dance like A troupe!

Kate joined Sophia and Some Other members of A troupe on the other side of the wings, Ella was up next and then it would be Sophia's turn on the stage. It was coincidence how they were dancing in the same slots as last year. But hopefully this time with a different fate.

Sophia POV
As I watch Ella from the wings, I know that I'm going to take home that trophy! Ella is a cheat! And doesn't deserve it!

"Hey, are you nervous?" Noah asked, he came to calm her before her solo. Sophia shook her head, "Oh no! I'm ready to win this" There was a lot of confidence in her voice, but would to much confidence make her stumble?
"I remember this times at year, I wanted to be the male soloist and challenged the best dancer in the studio for his spot and failed" Noah thought back.

"Now I'm Mr international Soloist!" He smiled, Sophia Smiled back at him. Next, Riley appeared in the wings to talk to her, but the sound of her voice caught Ella's attention resulting in her Forgetting her choreography.

Ella POV
I messed up the Choreography! I tried to hide it by making it look like I was meant to do that, but I don't know if it made the situation worse. My team is at a huge disadvantage right now. The dance ends, and  I can see Chris and he looks very disappointed in me!

Ashley leggat - SNR network
Well chuck I'd say our Current Miss international Soloist gave us a solid performance apart from the fact, she forgot choreography!

Chuck Anderson - SNR network
Although no one is eliminated in this round, forgetting Choreography at such a high level of dance can imprint badly on the rest of the team. But up next is the next step!

"This is it! Go out there and Show that Ella!" Riley smiled, Sophia nodded. She began to walk on to the stage with the sound of her team cheering behind her.

Sophia POV
This is what it has all led up to! Let's bring the trophy home!

Next time - Sophia Battles for Miss international Soloist, Has she done enough to take home the trophy?

A/n: What do you think of the latest chapter? What's carmine going to do next year do you think? Can Sophia win miss international soloist? I also added in a Welsh team as a tribute to one of my good friends (they know who they are) I suppose this means Wales had its own separate Nationals then.
