Amy: [Voice-over.] Right now, I [Cut to Neutral Grounds, where Amy's mom is collecting drinks from the barista and Amy watches the Internationals finals on her device.] am watching the finals at Internationals. It's [Cut to Amy in Talking Heads.] really hard for me, but I need to know who will take the trophy.
Cut to Amy's mom and Amy in Neutral Grounds.
Amy's mom: Are the finals on? [Amy's mom takes a seat beside Amy.]
Amy: Yep. The Geminis are on stage now. [Amy positions the tablet to the middle of the table.]
Amy's mom: [Groans. Runs hand through Amy's hair. Disgusted.] What are we gonna do about this hair?
Cut to Amy.
Amy: I like my hair. My mum is a former [Cut to Amy in Talking Heads.] dancer. She's really invested in my dance career. [Zoom in on Amy's face.] Sometimes, I wish she would just find a hobby. [Cut to Amy in Neutral Grounds.] Wow. [Cut to Amy's mom and Amy.] They're really good.
Camera zooms out. Shot of Amy and Amy's mom sitting in Neutral Grounds watching the finals of regionals.
Amy's mom: Mhm. You know, honey, [Cut to Amy's mom.] this season is so important, it's time for you to make your mark, we [Cut to Amy.] can't afford any more distractions, and you know what I'm talking about.
Amy sighs and rolls her eyes.
Amy: Mum, I got it, I already told you! I am one hundred percent over LaTroy.
Amy's mom: Good.
Cut to Amy's mom and Amy.
Amy: We're just friends.
Amy's mom: Great, I'm so glad to hear that, because I've [Camera zooms in on Amy's Mom] been thinking. I think that I need to be more involved with your training.
Cut to Amy looking down sorrowfully.
Amy: [Voice-over.] My mom wants to get more involved in my dance career?! [Cut to Amy in Talking Heads. Amy sighs.] This is really not good.
Cut to Amy's mom in Neutral Grounds.
Amy's mom: If your name is going to be in lights someday, this season [Cut to Amy.] has to be perfect. We can not let it slip [Cut to Amy's mom and Amy.] away.
Livestream announcer: And this [Amy slightly rolls her eyes.] year's international champions are... Team [The crowd cheers.] Gemini!
Amy: Great. [Cut to Amy.] Looks like the Geminis won Internationals.
[Cut to Amy's mom and Amy. Amy's mom sharply exhales.]
Amy: [Voice-over.] The Geminis have replaced [Cut to Amy in Talking Heads.] The Next Step as the best studio in the world. We [Zoom in on Amy's face.] have a long road ahead of us if we're ever going to get back to Internationals.
