Nobody's POV:

After Piper heard that she lost and finally processed it, she ran off the stage to the wings, really needing A troupe's support but what they did next, shocked her.

They shoved her away in disgust and began to shout at her. They blamed her for their loss and told her how everytime she's with them, they keep losing.

They told her that she was the one holding them back. No one, not even Finn or Amy, looked back as they stormed out from the wings.

She stood there, shocked and at a loss for words for a brief moment before she began to cry. She ran out of the wings and bawled in the bathroom, all alone.

When she got the courage to go back to A troupe, they all ignored her, even Finn! She tried to apologise to them but they weren't having it.

As they packed their bags, ready to head home, A troupe talked amongst themselves, all collectively ignoring Piper, which made her heart ache immensely.

Everytime they heard her sniffle or cry, they would call her useless and pathetic which would result in more tears. They all ignored her so much that they almost left her behind when they boarded the coach.

When they got back to the studio, everyone complained profusely about Piper to Nick and they all threatened to quit the studio if he didn't kick her out, so that's what Nick did.

That was the worst day of Piper's life, as when she went home and explained everything to James, she couldn't stop bawling her eyes out. It made her slightly aggressive and she had panic attack after panic attack.

Tiana tried to help Piper by comforting her and offering her a place on her team but she politely declined the offer.

She didn't want to dance anymore, it just made her think of everything that had happened to her regarding TNS, so she quit it forever, submerging herself in other tasks.

Luckily for Piper, her parents decided to move to America for her, and James and Riley decided to move too.

Life got easier and better for Piper as she found a new love in selling pieces of art and writing books, so that was her living.

A troupe still acted as a family and quickly forgot about Piper. They decided to reaudition for Dancemania and they got in. They ended up winning it and they had to sign with Maria for 5 years but this time, they obliged to it.

Amy did her best to stop thinking of her ex best friend, Finn started dating Summer and Cleo replaced Piper. Cleo destroyed her relationship with Jude and B troupe when she abandoned them for the glory of Dancemania, but she didn't care, she wanted to be in the spotlight with A troupe.

In America, Piper met Noah again at a party and they reconnected. After a while, they started to date, and that's how Piper ended up in a long term relationship with Noah.

3 years later:

A troupe hated the contract with Maria as she was always grumpy, throwing things when the dancers got things wrong and yelling at them constantly, but they loved the fame and attention it brought them as professional dancers.

Maria was like Miss Angela but 10 times worse.

Anytime Piper was brought up, the team went quiet apart from cleo who would scream and yell at them to forget about her, as she was afraid that they would get Piper back and kick her out of A troupe.

If they did that, Cleo couldn't go back to B troupe because when she broke up with Jude and left, Jude was so heartbroken that she said that if she leaves, she should never come back, because they won't accept her.

This hurt Cleo but her ego stood firm and she brushed Jude off like dust and dirt.

Amy sometimes thought of Piper but tried to stop when her heart began to ache too much.

Finn missed Piper a lot and would often mistake Summer with her and that was half of the reason why their relationship was so on and off.

The other reason was because Summer kept making the same mistake but with Henry; she still wasn't over him and was still secretly jealous of Amy, even though A troupe were supposed to be a close knit family.

B troupe went to Nationals as A troupe promised not to come back for it, and they won. Afterwards they went to internationals but came third, so they competed again, and luckily won.

All of them mostly stayed at the studio, with the team apart from Marcus who moved with his family.

When they went to Nationals for the first time, they recruited two people who used to be in J troupe at Tns, Becca and Gabby. Gabby was an alternate who replaced Marcus when he left.

B troupe went on to do big things and made TNS proud.

Meanwhile, in the past 3 years, Piper published and sold over 35 books and 28 pieces of art work.

She and Noah ended up getting married and they had a baby girl, named Jade, after Piper's middle name; she was 3 months old.

Noah still sung, danced and played instruments, occasionally managing to convince Piper to join him in his music videos or join him in dancing as he didn't want her to completely give it up.

He was so calm, sweet, gentle and kind with Piper, and they both loved each other with all of their hearts.

Finn was a good boyfriend and a sweet guy but Piper knew that Noah definitely made a great husband.

She still talked to Tiana frequently, whose studio made it to internationals, and she was still very close to her family.

She was doing good in her life and maybe that's why she soon began to forget all about The Next Step and the problems she faced there.

She carried on living a good, successful life with her daughter and her husband.

And that, my friends, was how Piper's time at The Next Step ended.
