AUTHOR'S NOTES: It may sound cliched where something goes wrong right before a performance. But I'll have a go at it this time. Enjoy.
This story takes place during the events of the first movie.
CHAPTER 1:
One week before semi-finals, the Bellas have just started another day of rehearsal.
"Alright, Bellas; We have one week before the semi-finals." Aubrey said as Beca walked in looking pale. "You're late." She said to Beca.
"I know. I overslept this morning." Beca said.
"Are you sure you're okay? You don't look so good." Chloe asked concerned.
"I don't understand; I went to bed fine last night, but now...(sneezes)" Beca said.
"Gesundheit." Aubrey said.
"I've been sneezing all day and I don't why. (sneezes)" Beca said.
"It sounds like you may have gotten a cold overnight." Chloe said.
"Well, now that you mention it...(sneezes)" Beca said.
"Beca, if you're sick, why are you even here?" Aubrey asked.
"(sniffles) You said if we miss one rehearsal we'd be out of the group." Beca said.
"Did I say that?" Aubrey asked feeling ashamed. "I'm sorry if you took what I said the wrong way, but you can't perform if you're sick. Why don't you go back to your dorm and lie down." She said.
"Come on, I'll walk you back." Chloe said.
"And don't worry; I'll catch you up tomorrow." Aubrey said as Chloe & Beca leave.
30 minutes later, Beca & Chloe arrived back at Beca's dorm room.
"Alright, Beca, we're here. I'm gonna call your dad." Chloe said as she picked up her phone and proceeded to do so.
"Hello?" Beca's dad said answering his phone.
"Dr. Mitchell, it's Chloe. Your daughter is sick." Chloe said.
"She is? Well, what's wrong with her." Beca's dad asked.
"She woke up this morning with a cold." Chloe said.
"Oh, dear. Listen, I have another class to teach. But I'll come by her dorm to check on her afterwards." Beca's dad said.
"Okay." Chloe said.
"In the meantime, why don't you go down to the cafeteria and get her some soup." Beca's dad suggested.
"Does she have a favorite kind?" Chloe asked.
"Chicken noodle." Beca's dad said.
"I'll get right on it." Chloe said as she hung up. "Alright, Beca. Your dad told me to get you some soup. So I'm gonna go get you some, and then I'll be back as soon as I can."
"Okay." Beca said.
"Your dad will come up here later to check on you." Chloe said.
"Thanks, Chloe." Beca said.
