They won't hate her... will they?

Amy's pov:

I was pacing studio A furiously. I called Piper a couple of days ago, to tell her how cute her second living room was from when she decorated it. I asked her what the special occasion was and I was so prepared for her to tell me whatever happened between her and Finn, but then she said that she and Richelle were hanging out with Tiana.

At first I felt a little left out, but then I realised that it was Tiana, the same Tiana that bullied the confidence out if my best friend! They're introducing her to us today. Everyone in A troupe knew about the history Piper and Richelle had with Tiana, and they weren't particularly happy but they weren't as angry as I was.

"Woah, calm down, Amy!" Henry said as he hugged me. Honestly, I was too angry to even listen to him but I did return his hug. I glanced over at Finn, but he didn't look as angry as I did, which confused me but I was just waiting for this girl to arrive so that I can confront her.

I gave Henry a peck on the lips and rushed to the locker room, as Piper texted me that they were near the studio. I also needed to get a drink of water, because pacing was hard work! I was at the corner when I heard some voices, I recognised Piper and Richelle but not the third one, so I assumed that was Tiana. "No, it was a mistake coming here! They're all gonna hate me!" The third girl exclaimed with nervousness in her voice, and to be honest I felt a little bad for her, I was sure she was going to have this cocky manner to her."No, they won't, we all believe in second chances, so why shouldn't we all give you one?!" Richelle exclaimed.

I had a flashback to when I begged Emily and Michelle to let me back on A troupe and I remember the looks of uncertainty on A troupe's faces when I came to my first rehearsal since coming back. I realised that maybe I was a bit too hard on this Tiana girl. I'll try to be nicer to her! Try.

Piper's pov:

Today is the day that me and Richelle are going to introduce Tiana to A troupe. We just got her to calm down from her nerves and we tried to tell her that A troupe won't hate her because they always give second chances - at least I hope that they won't hate her or kick her out of the studio. Well, here goes nothing!

Richelle went put before us to tell everyone that we were here and I saw Finn running out to the next steep. I could quite remember seeing Finn's bottle there, so I think that's where he's going. I held Tiana's hand and led her into studio A where everyone silently looked at her. Determined, Tiana let go of my hand and walked further into studio A to introduce herself.

"Hello, my name's Tiana and it's a pleasure to meet you all..." She said nervously. When no one said anything, she subconsciously moved closer to me and Richelle, before Summer broke into a wide smile, rushed up to Tiana and hugged her. "Hi, I'm Summer! I know this might be a bit awkward with everyone being so... quiet..." Summer glanced around the room at everyone, "but on behalf of Richelle and Piper, we all forgive you!" She gushed, putting extra emphasis on the word 'all'.

I glanced at Tiana and she had a look of pure relief on her face as she was enveloped in another hug from Summer. Lily came up to her and introduced herself to Tiana, then Ozzy, Kingston and everyone else introduced themselves, well except Amy.

She slowly walked up to Tiana and held out her hand. "I'm Amy... Piper's best friend...", she said slowly. "Yeah, I know, Pipes talks a lot about you!" Tiana replied not taking notice of the simmering anger in Amy's eyes. What was going on with her? "Well, did you know that ALL of us know about what you did to Piper and Richelle?" Amy retorted. "Yeah I know, and I've already apologised profusely to both Piper and Richelle." Tiana said, crossing her arms and glaring straight back at Amy.

I gave Amy a pleading look, and she sighed, taking a step back. "I'm sorry, that was out of order. I was just protecting my best friend." She apologised, with a wry smile. Tiana smiled back at her, and shook her hand. "That's okay, I understand. But it was still nice to meet you." Somewhat shocked by Tiana's kindness, Amy smiled and hugged her, whisper-shouting, "Thank you!".

Finn's pov:

I walked into studio A again with my bottle this time. I got caught up talking to the barista about my favourite tea, then I asked him what his favourite tea was, and he went through an entire list of assorted drinks, until I remembered that Tiana was coming today. I rushed back to studio A to see Tiana and Amy hugging, and everyone smiling, I guess they didn't hate her, like Piper was worrying about.

"Tiana!" I shouted as everyone looked in my direction. "Finn!" She yelled as she ran up to me and I gave her a big bear hug. She used to love that type of hug when she was still upset about Richelle and Piper leaving.

I noticed that all of A troupe were staring at me confused and shocked, apart from Piper and Richelle, who were just smiling and laughing. Everyone looked from me, to Tiana, to Piper then Richelle and then back to me with confusion. What could they be confused about?

Piper glanced around and then piped up, saying, (see what I did there, Pipes, piped up - lol), anyways she said, "Guys, stop giving us weird looks, Ti and Finn have been friends for years, just after Richelle left her old studio!". Everyone went "Ohh" as realisation dawned on them, before they laughed.

I went to stand next to Piper before I discreetly held her hand. I think I didn't do it as discreetly as I thought because everyone went "aww!", but it was okay because Piper just laughed and gave me a kiss. "Ewww! Stop kissing!" Ozzy exclaimed. "How come you never kiss me like that, Kingston?!" Lily yelled, as Kingston rolled his eyes and kissed her cheek as she giggled and blushed. Kenzie and Richelle shared weird looks as they were both enjoying the single life, even though, I think that Heath has a little crush on Kenzie, (he told me himself!).

"Hey Richelle, I think I know how to cure our singleness! Wanna go out tomorrow?" Ozzy asked as Richelle shook her head in disbelief and laughed. "Okay, Ozzy, fine! But only as friends, pick me up at half 7 tomorrow and do NOT be late!" She said, pointing a finger at him while he stared at her gleefully already asking Henry for 'date' ideas.

"Okay Pipes, Ti, I'll see you guys later for our hangout!" Richelle called as she headed for the next steep.

Bubbling with fake jealousy, we all demanded a hangout soon with all of us, so that they could all get to know Tiana too, so once that was settled, the girls decided to join Richelle later on at the next steep, whilst me and the boys stayed back to talk, chill and help Ozzy with his 'date'.

Tiana's pov:

I am so, so, soo happy that A troupe don't hate me! I thought for sure they'd kick me out and place a restraining order on me too, but these people are nicer than I initially thought, even Amy!

I walked into the locker room, while Piper was busy doing and talking about who knows what with Finn, and got my bottle out of Piper's bag. I saw Amy come in, looking a bit dejected and I had a feeling, I knew what the problem was.

"Hey Amy." I said cheerily, as she gave me a sad smile. "Hey Tiana...", she replied. I tilted my head to the side and sat with her on the couch. "Do you wanna join us at Piper's house? You can hang with us too, if you want." I offered to try and cheer her up. Her face lit up, as she smiled and hugged me. "Thank you, Tiana!" She yelled, as I hugged her back. "Let's go get some juices, then we can get to know each other and maybe even become friends!" I suggested as she chuckled and said, "Sure, sounds good." "Okay, I wasn't too sure after the way you looked at me, when we first saw each other!" I laughed as she laughed apologetically.

Piper's pov:

After talking to her for some time, I said goodbye to Richelle as she was going home to prepare for her 'date' with Ozzy tomorrow, so that she would be organised enough to have have time to come to mine later on.

She reminded me of me sometimes!

I sat and ordered a mango and passion fruit smoothie as I waited for the other girls to arrive, they were probably still talking with the boys.

I felt someone tap me on the shoulder and when I looked up, I immediately stood up and stumbled a few steps back. I glared at the person before me,

"What are YOU doing here?" I hissed. This couldn't be happening to me, why now?! Why today?! Everything was going so well!
