"Stace" Aubrey called out "We're gonna be late" This happens every time they plan to go out, they end up lost in each other and they never leave enough time to get ready. But they just can't help it, ever since the auditions for the Bellas at Barden University they haven't been able to stop thinking about each other, even though they would never have admitted it back then. It took a national championship, a Bellas retreat and almost four years for them both to ask each other out. During this time the other Bellas had several bets with each other as to who would say it first and when, Beca won this bet of course which all of the other Bellas (Fat Amy especially) agreed was totally unfair as Beca and Stacie were best friends and confided everything in each other. Beca obviously dismissed this, she claimed she knew because of how long her own relationship with Chloe took to develop and that as this is Aubrey Posen we are talking about, it would take her twice as long to get out her feelings for Stacie, or as Beca would put it Get her shit together.

"If you think we're gonna be late you've obviously never met Beca Mitchell, her and Chloe are always late because they cannot keep their hands off each other" Aubrey smirked, they both knew this was true, Stacie had told Aubrey all about after their retreat at their last year of Barden they would hardly ever make It to practice on time, Fat Amy once swore that she saw them in one of the toilet stalls as she was walking to practice but neither Beca or Chloe confirmed or denied it.

"Anyway Bree, they're probably in their apartment doing exactly the same thing" She winked at Aubrey "I just can't help it that I have this super sexy girlfriend that I want to kiss and hug all day" She hugged Aubrey while she was applying her lip gloss, resting her chin on her girlfriend's shoulder and wrapping her arms round her waist pulling them closer together. Stacie wanted to stay like that forever, but then she felt Aubrey move and she was pulled from her dream like state and returned to her girlfriend.

"Whatcha dreaming bout?"

"You, our life, our future. How I'm going to love you for forever" She glanced at her girlfriend and saw that she looked like she could burst into tears of happiness at any moment

"Hey it wasn't that sappy, we've both said much more dramatic lovey-dovey stuff" She walked over to Aubrey and placed her hands on her cheeks to wipe away the stray tears that were falling from the older woman's eyes.

"I know, it's just that it was so unexpected and now you're going to make me cry like a big baby and I have no time to re-do my make-up and we were meant to leave fi-"

Stacie pressed her lips to Aubrey's in a bid to shush the blonde but also because the only way she was ever going to get Aubrey to stop crying was to kiss her. Aubrey tried to deepen the kiss but Stacie knew that they had no time for this now, she grudgingly pulled away and looked at her girlfriend who was less than happy that their kiss had just ended

"C'mon, we're gonna be late!"

They both grabbed their bags, put on some shoes and left the apartment that they shared in Los Angeles together hand in hand. It was a nice warm evening and the restaurant that they were meeting Beca and Chloe at was only ten minutes away so they decided to walk.

"I'm glad we set up this double date, it's nice not to be the only couple in the room. And I know you still don't like Beca but you seem to get along" Stacie announced, hoping the mention of Beca's name wouldn't set the blonde off on a rant about how she used to act like a bitch towards the previous Capitan.

"I don't hate her, she was just a major pain in the ass in rehearsals and her toner for Chloe was so obvious that you could see it from space"

"Oh and your toner for me wasn't that obvious that it had everyone betting when we'd confess our undying love for each other" Stacie playful glared at the blonde and dramatically swung her arms.

"Dammit you've got me there, and just so you know I would have asked you out a lot sooner if I didn't have to deal with the whole Chloe liking Beca and then she thought she liked her back but she wasn't sure scenario. But you know there's only so many lesbian antics that Fat Amy can deal with in one semester"

"So Chloe stopped me getting a date with your fabulous self. Damn you Chloe Beale and your feelings" That statement earned Stacie a punch to upper arm from Aubrey.

"That's my best friend you're talking about Conrad" Aubrey tried to give Stacie a serious death stare, but the grin on the brunettes face was too much and she cracked a smile.

Two minutes later they were there and sure enough they found Beca Mitchell and Chloe Beale outside the restaurant quietly whispering to each other, not that anyone else would want to know what came out of Badass Beca Mitchell's mouth.

"Hey lovebirds!" Aubrey Chimed "Break it up, no one needs to see that much cute in one go" Although she would never admit it, Beca and Chloe were cute together, Chloe brought out Beca's soft side and Beca calmed Chloe down (which was very near impossible, Aubrey tried once and it resulted in a broken nose)

"We wondered if you two were ever going to show up" Beca responded "And people say we're always late"

"That's because you are Shorty, you and Ginger over there are hardly ever on time for anything except each other" Stacie motioned to where Aubrey and Chloe were chatting like they hadn't seen each other in months when it really only had been a couple of days.

"Has someone been stealing nicknames from Fat Amy?" Beca looked at Stacie with an annoyed look

"No, she just calls you that so often that it's like a bad habit now, and no one can break it Shorty" Stacie says with a laugh and a cheeky grin that even Beca Mitchell cannot hate.

"Shall we go and get some food or are we just going to stand around out here?" Beca, Stacie and Aubrey all agree with Chloe and they head inside.

After they ordered their drinks and their food, the two couples sat down at a table that overlooked the busy restaurants and shops, they watched all the people below them hurry to get home to their families or just to get out of the of the street.

"So how's the wedding planning going?" Aubrey was excited to see her best friend get married, her and Beca have had their differences in the past but they will always agree on one thing, Chloe. Chloe should never be sad and Beca will always make that happen. When Beca had told Stacie that she wanted to propose to Chloe she instantly told Aubrey, how could she not. Then much to Beca's despite Aubrey was a central part in the proposal planning. Stacie then knew how Aubrey wanted to have her proposal and stored those ideas away for another day.

"Well we were thinking about where to have it the other day and we found this really nice and quiet place on the beach about an hour away and we are going to view it next Thursday. It's got a place where we could have the ceremony on the beach or in a separate little cabin, it's just beautiful" The happiness on the redheads face was very evident as was the beaming smile on Beca's face as she held hands with her fiancée. Stacie knew that she would one day make Aubrey as happy, if not happier that Chloe, if that was entirely possible.

Stacie and Aubrey brushed hands under the table as if they were not meant to be doing it, like when they were secretly dating and didn't want to tell anyone else or whenever Aubrey came to visit the Bella house on Holidays and she would blush at the touch of Stacie's hand, trying to hide her true feelings but obviously doing it very badly. They linked hands and didn't give a damn at what other people thought. Once their hands connected they didn't even realise it but they automatically gave each other a loving glance that lasted long enough to be notice by Beca and then for Chloe to take a picture to show the rest of the Bellas. All Stacie and Aubrey cared about in that moment was each other, they had each other and they were never letting go.

They were interrupted by the waiter arriving with their food, completely oblivious to the moment that Beca and Chloe had just witnessed they carried on with their evening.

After dinner they all decided to go to the park and watch the sun set together, as they were walking there both couples hand in hand Aubrey whispered to Stacie:

"Do you know that I am crazily in love with someone?" The blonde bit her lip as she waited for her girlfriends reply. A couple of seconds passed, which felt like forever.

"I never knew this Bree, you must tell me, what are they like?" Stacie responded playfully

"Well they've got the most gorgeous face that makes my heart melt every time they look at me, they are super talented and they can sing really well. They are also so kind and they are willing to drop everything for me and their friends anytime they're needed. I could go on forever."

"They sound awesome Bree, what you gonna do about it though? Are you gonna ask them on a date?" Stacie knew what the blonde was doing, she does this frequently to ask Stacie on a date and it never fails.

"Well they get off of work at 5 tomorrow, so I might take them to a fairground that is very continently in town tomorrow. Do you think they'll like it?" Aubrey waits for a reply from the brunette, she enjoys asking her on dates this way, it's much more creative.

"I think they'll love the fairground, but only if you go on the Ferris wheel with them, I think they may have wanted to go on one as a kid but they were always too scared." This was actually very true, Stacie had never told anyone else besides Aubrey this.

"Deal. I think I can make all those fears go away" Aubrey planted a kiss on Stacie's cheek and they continued walking as if that conversation had never even happened, but the two participants knew full well what they were doing, planning spontaneous dates was kinda their thing.

As the settled down on a hill in the park, laying side by side, both couples could not think of a better person to spend that moment and the rest of their lives with. The sun was just setting creating a lovely pink and orange sky that Stacie instantly fell in love with. Stacie felt an elbow poke her.

"Hey Stace"

"Yeah"

"Did you know that I love you" If anyone could see the colour of Aubrey's cheeks right now they would notice that they were almost as blushed as the sunset currently above them.

"I would hope you do, or this situation would get awkward very fast" This produced a giggle from both Aubrey and Stacie. Chloe and Beca did not hear this as they were too involved in each other's faces to hear it.

And it was in that moment that Aubrey wished she could freeze forever.
