The day had come. They had all been let out of that horrible basement to get ready, and they were sure as hell glad of it.

Both Abby and Allen were curious about them letting Maddie out, but they said the punishment would come later.

Alisa sat down, at the top stairs, in her long sleeve dance top, with leggings. She wasn't exactly ready to show off all her bruises, but that was a life.

A sobbing sound could be heard from one of the bedrooms, except not the expected room. It came from the room of Abby, and Allen.

Alisa listened, confused. The other girls were still getting ready, and as she pulled herself up, she couldn't help but stand outside that door and listen.

"Why do I have to do this? I love all those girls.." The voice said, in tears. "I love Alisa, I love Maddie. It's all gonna be over soon.." the Voice continued.

Alisa took a shaky step back. It sounded so real.. But then why? And if one of her parents really loved her, Why would they do this?

She shook it off, and dragged herself downstairs, pushing it to the back of her mind. But one thing was certain. She was not leaving her family until that mystery was solved.

-+-+-+-+-++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

"GIRLS! PYRAMID! NOW!" Abby yelled.
Because of the whole incident.. Dance Moms was being advertised as no longer a 'reality' TV show, but instead a scripted one. The truth was, it wasn't scripted.
Abby pretty much scared all the producers half to death, so they listened to her. And if she said it was scripted, it was scripted. Therefore nobody would be able to fight because Abby physically attacked someone.

Gianna leaned against one wall. She glared as the girls entered the room.

The girls all filled in, most of them skipping or happy. They were with their friends. Alisa and Maddie both watched the ground as they walked in, not happy at all.

"I'M STRETCHING NOW!" Lilly screeched as she slid into her middle split.

Gianna rolled her eyes as she walked over to Lilly, grabbing her arm "Get up. Or you'll die." She said, flatly before moving back.

Lilly frowned and stood up.

Abby Smirked "Beginning with Pyramid! On the bottom is Maddie and Alisa. Your both stupid, idiots, annoying, waste of space, pieces of trash and you can't even dance!"

"I can dance better than you" Maddie mumbled. Allen glared at her, forcing her to take a step back in fear.

The cameras surrounded them, zooming in on Maddie and Alisa.

Gia smirked watching it.

"Next is Brooke. Your an Idiot that made a mistake being born. And Kalani who needs to stop turning up at my house " Abby said rolling her eyes.

Allen laughed

"Then Paige. Your just annoying"
The glaring Gia, changed to a frown on this but shrugged it off.

"Velka and Davianna. Velka your a smart ass child who is annoying as hell. Davianna your just annoying"

"Moving up, Mackenzie and Chloe. Mackenzie you are a Ziegler which pisses me off. Chloe your eh. You need to stop being nice to the brat and my daughter"

"Then we have Sophia. You haven't done anything to piss me off or turn up to my house. Well done"

"And on the top is my favourite person in the entire world, Lilly!" Abby said, convisingly

Alisa looked up confused. Paige twirled her hair, not even paying attention at this point.

"I am?" Lilly asked

"Of course! This week is fun, it's solo week!" Abby chuckled evily.

"Oh no.." Maddie mumbled.

"Really?" Paige rose her eyebrow

"Kalani. You have an 8 year old solo. Suitable for you then. It's Maddie's old routine 'cry'!" Abby laughed "Paige your doing one of Mackenzie's worst numbers Shoulda coulda Woulda. Velka your doing another one of Mackenzie's solo Dancing Barefoot!"

Paige looked down. She couldn't expect a better number from Abby.

Allen but in. "Maddie you are doing one of Mackenzie's old solo, Mouse Trap! It's a baby solo. So there."

Abby chuckled. "Alisa, I chose a very suitable solo for your level! It's Vivianne's old solo, Bumble Bee!"

Allen cheered.

"WHAT?!" Maddie screamed

"You're doing it. Or somebody else is dead"

Alisa looked down. This was awful, but she was used to the insults. Just on national TV. This was going to be horrible.

"Brooke is doing Vivi's old solo, Cowgirl! Because she deserves that!" Abby Smirked "Davianna is doing Maddie's worst solo, Lights, camera, Action!" Abby looked over at Lilly and smiled "Lilly, I'm giving you Kalanis old solo 'Say Something, Say anything. It got a perfect score in the senior division and I think you could totally to do! Your Amazing!" She turned back to the middle. "Mackenzie is doing I wanna dance, Paige's worst solo! Chloe is doing My parade and Sophia is doing Goodie goodie."

Paige rolled her eyes "Who's teaching our solos?" And muttered under her breath "It was only my worst solo because you taught it."

Allen jumped up "So I'm teaching Maddie and Velka's solos!"

"Yup!" Abby smiled softly at her husband. "I'm doing Alisa's, Kalanis, Daviana's and Lilly's! And Gianna is doing Paige's, Chloe's, Kenzies and Sophia's and of course Brookes!"

Alisa groaned. Of course she got Abby with the stupidest solo ever.

Paige sighed in relief. At least she got Gia.

"GET STRETCHING!" Abby yelled as she exited the room, Allen and Gianna following her.

*Paige Pov*

Paige sighs in relief. 'At least I got Gia for my solo' I thought. It wouldn't help the fact, that it was a stupid solo. Oh and Gia wanted to kill her sister. I mean she was meant to be okay with this? Oh and Abby was a physcopath who wants to kill her sister as well?

She pushed open the door to the studio, noticing Gia in the corner, looking through the music. Gianna's phone buzzed and she quickly grabbed it, reading through the message. Anger grew on her face but she took deep breaths.

'Huh.' Paige thought 'She never checks her phone in reharsal' She had picked up on Gia's habits, Gia had taught her since she was 2.

"And your the boss of me now?" Gias voice announced coldly as she turned to Paige.

Paige sighs, as she realises she said that aloud. "What is wrong with you Gia, I miss the old Gia!" She snapped back "You know, the one who didn't threaten to kill my sister?" I said, emphasizing 'Kill'.

"Old Gia doesn't exist, I'm the same Gia I've always been!" Gia shot back.

"Really? Brooke said ONE stupid thing and your threatening to kill her?" I shot back, my heart pumping like wildfire "What she said is beginning to come true!"

"It's not like that Paige.." Gia's anger slowly disappeared as she sat down, burying her head into her knees.

"What is it then?!" I yelled, noticing the hurt on Gianna's face "Whatever, just teach me my solo."

Gia didn't flinch, and as her phone buzzed she yelped in frustration and threw the phone across the floor.

Three stunned faces stared at Gianna. Paige, and two camera men.

What was wrong with Gia?
