Snakes and Ladders (Dance Moms Fic)

Chapter 3: Auditions, Rehearsing

The next day at the studio, there were a bunch of dancers in Studio A and they were there to audition for Kendall's spot and the parents of those dancers, which were mostly moms were in the viewing room with Christi, Melissa, Kristie, Holly and Kelly. One of the hopeful moms who was up there was a woman with curly hair named Jeanette Cota and she had a daughter who was named Ava, who was one of the many dancers auditioning for Kendall's spot since Kendall was suspended, which made Vince and Abby set this audition up to replace her. Also there was a blonde woman who was named Leslie Ackerman and next to Leslie was a woman who had red hair, her name was Diane Pent and they had kids who have danced in the ALDC, those dancers were dancing with Gianna, who was showing them what moves they had to do as Abby and Alex watched and with them was Sophia, who was watching them as well, two of those dancers were dancers who dance in the studio, one is a 17 year old young man named Brandon Pent, the son of diane and with him was a brown haired 15 year old girl named Payton Ackerman, who is Leslie's daughter.

"These are some amazing dancers." Abby said to her son. "It's gonna be hard choosing which dancer that made it."

"I know, right?" Alex agreed. "Hopefully the last dancer that's standing will be able to fit in with the girls, but that dancer has to have legs that are amazing, flexibility that is awesome, the ability to comprehend quickly and most importantly, feet that are gorgeous ."

"You know it." Abby told her son as they continued to watch the audition and up in Studio A Leslie was talking with Diane.

"Leslie, can i ask you something?" Diane wondered.

"Ask away." Leslie responded.

"Why did you leave the kids in Los Angeles?"

"I did that because i felt like it." Leslie answered. "I do not answer to you."

"Alex is right, you are the most rudest woman i have ever met! You make Abby look good when she yells!" Diane retorted while the parents, mostly moms were looking on seeing Diane and Leslie arguing.

"At least i'm not a nobody!" Leslie told her. "I don't even know why you are up here!"

"Well, at least i didn't abandon kids in L.A., because i stuck with them while you left!"

Alex and his mother were looking up in the viewing room and were watching Leslie and Diane arguing duing the audition.

"Here we go again." Abby lamented, seeing momma drama begin already on the first day of the new season.

"You know it, ma." Alex added. "I'll go up there and put an end to this before they give us both migraines."

"All right." Abby stated as her son got up from sitting next to her, left Studio A and walked upstairs and the arguing got louder as he neared the top of the stairs, then everyone turned and looked at him, which ended the argument and the two moms looked at Alex, who had an agitated expression on his face.

"Diane, Leslie, we are trying to have an audition and you two are up here bickering like, so plese do me a favor and SHUT UP!" Alex yelled that last part as Diane and Leslie both had scared looks on their faces as he headed back downstairs and back into Studio A.

"I wouldn't want to cross him on a bad day." One mom said.

"Which one of these dancers is standing out in your opinions?" Abby asked her kids.

"My pick is Dancer #424." Alex replied, referring about a brunette girl who was wearing dance wear that was purple. "I've observed that her posture is amazing, she's pointed her feet, her legs were perfectly straight when she dances, and landed amazingly after doing an aerial walkover and if she continues those without any problems, she might make an great fit to the competition team."
