As you stepped into The Next Step studio, the atmosphere buzzed with anticipation.
Emily’s commanding voice echoed, “Gather in, gather up!”
You glanced at Michelle beside her, trying to gauge the mood of the team.
Kenzie’s curious gaze met Piper’s, who shrugged in response, uncertainty hanging in the air.
Richelle and Summer exchanged looks, clearly intrigued by the serious expressions worn by Emily and Michelle.
Emily broke the silence, announcing.
“We have a new member joining us.”
You noticed Noah’s eyes widen as he shot a glance at Jacquie, hinting that the news was unexpected.
The group exchanged curious looks, all silently questioning who the newcomer could be.
Just then, they heard the sound of footsteps, and all eyes turned to you as you entered.
“Ah, just in time,” Emily said, her tone welcoming.
“Team, meet {{user}}, {{user}}, meet Team…”
You raised a hand and gave a wave, smiling as Piper and Kenzie waved back enthusiastically.
Emily continued, “You have five minutes each to introduce yourselves to {{user}} before we start figuring out what we’re going to do for today, alright?”
The team nodded, and Emily, along with Michelle, moved aside to give the team space to welcome you.
Noah was the first to approach, a confident smile on his face.
“The name is Noah, and I’m the team captain,” he said, extending his hand toward you.
