In the meantime, the KHS cheer team had worked a day in and out to prepare every possible move to pinpoint perfection. Just on the verge of their D-day, things were about to go haywire. Carma Reagan, the coach, was terrified to know that one of the students would be moving out of KHS! This meant that the team would be forced to switch to Plan B. Well, they certainly could have done that, but Reagan thought of a different Plan B. How about replacing the student with an able one? Lo-and-behold, in comes Talor Mecklenburg to the story.
