"Michelle! What am I going to do?! The qualifiers are next week! Three dancers are missing! A B-Trouper is going crazy! Alfie is in love with me! And Piper- I don't even know what's going on with Piper! Everything is so stressful!" I ramble. I'm so stressed. James can't even calm me down right now. I can't believe what Abi did!
"We'll get through it. Everything will be fin-"
"But that's the thing! What if it's not fine!" I cut her off.
"I promise it will be. We'll find a way. We always do," she assures me. After a while I calm down a bit and thank her.
"We should tell everyone," I sigh.
"You're right." she agrees.
We both walk back into Studio A, coming from my office. "Guys we have an announcement to make..." I trail off. Everyone turns their attention to us and I gulp.
"Well-"
"So here's the thing: YouknowAbi?YeahshehasacrushonNoahasyouknowalreadyandmaybeweliedjustateenytinybit!Shekidnappedthemanduntilwefindthemweneedtogetreplacementsforthequalifiers," Michelle squeaked, now breathing heavily.
"What?" Everyone asks in union.
"Abuu, No, Oz, Chelle, left, qualiiii, bloooouu, baffr, craaaaaa, Pier," I (attempt but horribly fail) speak up. Damnit I'm so awkward! Everytime! Everyone looks at me like I'm a Meera.
"Riley, text us in the big group chat," Skylar says. I nod. She's a great dance captain.
I text everyone in the group chat:
Every A-Troupe Gc
Riley
Abi kidnapped Richelle, Ozzy, and Noah. There's blood in the girls' washroom and we need qualifier replacements.
Alfie
WHAT!? Riley are you okay!? Do you need me to come save you?
Everyone
UGH!
James
YO! Back off my girl!
Piper
*rolls eyes*
Skylar
Guys this is about our missing TEAMATES! Alfie just hush!
Everyone
^
Sloane
First we should find Noah and Ozzy
Riley
What about Richelle?
Current A-Troupe
Meh
Michelle
Honestly she can wait
La-Troy

Piper
GUYS! Richelle is apart of the team too! Didn't you see she looked so broken when we did what we did to her! James has told me about Richelle! She's practically a sister to him and you all just don't even care about her! She's apart of the family! She can be bossy at times, but she probably has a pretty damn great reason for it too!
James
Piper's right. A-Troupe is a family...
Kingston joined the gc
Riley
What the-
Kingston
Ozzy said Richelle has a reason for her actions but I never got to ask what they were
Izzy joined the gc
Riley
How the-
Izzy
Richelle has a LOT of reasons for her actions you guys just decided not to ask her about it or why she does what she does.
Beth joined the gc
Riley
Ok! WHAT-
Beth
She's right! Richelle is really so sweet and adorable on the inside behind her rough exterior. She just has an emotional barrier. She was taught to never mix personal with dance so she's never done that.
Renegie joined the gc
Riley
How did she even get a pho-
Renegie
Guys! Stop! What you need to do is focus on finding Noah, Ozzy, AND Richelle. Find Abi and take her to the police. Don't be gentle because she's a girl. (I saw the blood) Now continue!
Renegie left the gc
Alfie
... You guys have to stop confusing Riley
Alfie was removed from the gc
"Hey!" Alfie shouts.
"Who removed him?" Cassie asks.
"I did" James announces, earning a glare from Alfie.
"Anyway we need to focus," Michelle says, before adding. "Even if we have to save Richelle too."
I glare at her before doing a front walkover into a cross-legged position. I bang my hands on the floor, earning everyone's attention. "Let's get down to business."
