the wings and gave her a thumbs-up. “You go, girl!” he shouted.
    â€œIt’s truly been our privilege to do this,” Toni continued. “We’ve been very moved by what’s going on in our very own community, and we intend to continue helping in any way we can.”
    Rag Doll spoke up. “We’d like to help you help them,” she said. “So we’re donating part of the proceeds of our new video, ‘Heaven Sent,’ to St. Ignatius. Every time someone downloads the song and video, the shelter will be getting money.”
    Toni’s eyes grew wide. “That could be millions of dollars.”
    â€œLet’s hope!” Baby Doll said. “Good job, Divas! Let’s hear it for them!” The crowd began chanting “Divas! Divas!”
    â€œI think we just one-upped Justine’s one-up,” Rochelle said. She glanced over to see the City Feet coach pouting in the corner and Mandy throwing a tantrum.
    â€œThe important thing is that we are going to make a lot of money for St. Ignatius,” Bria pointed out. “That’s what matters.”
    â€œIt is what matters,” Toni said, returning to her team backstage. “But you know how I feel about sneaking around and not playing fair, Bria.”
    â€œAw, come on,” J. J. said. “Those Feet didn’t play fair. Bria was just evening the field.”
    â€œI’m sorry,” Bria said. “I wanted to help.”
    â€œIt’s very generous of the Dolls to do this,” Toni said. “And I’m sure the shelter will be thrilled. But I won’t have any of you stooping toJustine’s level. Is that clear? Next time, Bria, you come to me instead of going behind my back. Clear?”
    Bria nodded. “Yes, Miss Toni.”
    â€œI think it’s awesome,” J. J. spoke up. “That money is going to make a huge difference in so many lives. I wish I had thought of it.”
    Liberty interjected, “Excuse me? I convinced my mom this would be great publicity for the Sugar Dolls,” Liberty interjected. “Isn’t someone going to thank me?”
    â€œIf you get out there and do a flawless duet, I’ll thank you,” Toni said to Liberty and Bria. “If you mess it up, not even the Sugar Dolls can save you.”

It took the announcer several minutes to calm the crowd down after the Sugar Dolls’ appearance. “Yes, that was very exciting, wasn’t it?” he said, trying to be heard over the cheers. “And here’s something else that’s exciting: our next category, Junior Duets. Please put your hands together for our first pair, Bria and Liberty from Dance Divas Studio doing an acro routine to ‘Lone Ranger Rewind.’”
    The girls galloped onstage and took their positions. Liberty and Bria were dressed in black catsuits, cowboy hats, and silver vests. “Hi-ho, Silver!Away!” they shouted as they launched into an amazing series of splits and tumbles.
    â€œNice needle,” Anya said, watching Liberty stretch her leg straight behind her and touch her head to her knee.
    â€œI think Bria’s better,” Rochelle insisted. “Did you see that back walkover from her sitting position?”
    â€œThey’re both amazing,” Scarlett said. “They have to win. They just have to!”
    At the end of the number, they pushed two mechanical “horses” into the middle of the stage and climbed into the saddle.
    â€œLet’s pray this works,” Anya said, crossing her fingers.
    The saddles bumped up and down, backward and forward, as the girls held on to the reins.
    Liberty took off her cowboy hat and waved it in the air. But Bria didn’t look as comfortable and confident in the saddle.
    â€œWhat’s up with Bria?” Rochelle asked Scarlett. “She looks green.”
    â€œOh no,” Scarlett replied. “It’s the Tilt-A-Whirl all over again.”
