And when a major talent competition is announced with a school scholarship being the top prize the timing seems perfect! Now Nikki can have fun singing and dancing with her friends and compete to finally stop worrying about ruining what little reputation she has if people find out that she only attends Westchester because of her dad's embarrassing job. But as usual for Nikki nothing is ever as simple as it seems...
