"I'm here to help," said Sabrina.

"Really! Thanks, come in!" exclaimed Jackie.

"Ok, let’s get to work," said Sabrina. The two girls practiced the whole night. In the morning Jackie got a call.

"Hello who is this?" asked Jackie.

"It's me Michael," said Michael.

"Oh, what's the problem?" asked Jackie.

"Nothing, it's just that I gave them a call and they want to see you dance. Come by right now," said Michael.

"Ok, thank you, I'll see you there!" exclaimed Jackie.

"Let’s go! We have to go!" exclaimed Jackie. The two girls hurried to Michael’s house.

"Ok, come on, let’s go in," said Sabrina.

"No, I can't, I'm too nervous. What if I fall! What if I do this wrong! They are going to hate me!" exclaimed Jackie.

"No, they're going to love you! Now come on!" exclaimed Sabrina.

"I can't do it!" whispered Jackie.

"Yes you can! You have worked so hard! I know you can, and if they don't like you then that's their loss," said Sabrina.

"You think so?" asked Jackie.

"I know so," replied Sabrina.

"Ok, I'll do it!" exclaimed Jackie.

The two girls entered the house.

"Ok, begin dancing," said one of the people.

"Ok," said Jackie. Jackie began to do the dance her and Sabrina worked on. She was doing great, but then she forgot the routine. She didn't know what to do, but then she began making up her own. When she was finished they all started clapping.

"We have made our decision, you are going to be a star!" said one of the people.

"Yay!" shouted Jackie.

"Congratulations!" shouted Sabrina.

"Thank you, Michael," said Jackie.

"You’re welcome," said Michael.

"Thank you, Sabrina. I couldn't have done it without you!" exclaimed Jackie.

"That's what friends are for," said Sabrina. Jackie was now a professional dancer and living her dream.
