Chapter 1- The Midget Will Need Convincing
"Are you joking? You're joking, right?"
Aubrey looked up from her laptop from the corner of the room that Chloe had just walked, no, leapt into. The look of distain on her face did nothing to put the eager redhead off.
"No! It's a good idea, Bree!" Chloe said eagerly, her enthusiasm making Aubrey nauseous.
"On this planet or another where your idea of fun is actually normalised?"
"Bree." Chloe did her best puppy-dog eyes at her roommate.
"Jeez, Chlo. So you want the entirety of the Bellas to go and do what exactly?"
The ginger buzzed up and down excitedly. "We can go to Las Vegas and then L.A! We have all the money from out sponsorships, all we need to do it plan it. And everyone will come, I know they will!"
The blonde shut her laptop and closed her eyes. Having to deal with Chloe's energy every day of her life honestly hurt her soul a little bit, but damn, without Chloe she would be very, very lost.
"And what are we supposed to be doing, exactly?"
Chloe came and sat down opposite Aubrey and helped herself to the blonde's orange juice, who opened her mouth to say something and then rolled her eyes and decided against it.
"So, we can go in the casinos, go clubbing and then after a few days in Vegas we can hit the beach! It would be perfect."
Aubrey gave Chloe a blank expression. "You know, it's weird that you make something sound fun, not fun."
The redhead hit Aubrey on the arm lightly. "Bree! You're so mean to me."
The blonde broke out in a grin. "I'm just fucking with ya, Chlo. It actually sounds like it would be really fun."
Chloe grinned excitedly. "Yes! I'll go tell the others!" She bounded away excitedly.
"Oh, Chlo?" Aubrey called to her best friend.
The blonde saw Chloe's ginger head bob back into the room. "Yeah?"
"The midget will need some serious convincing."
Beca's dorm.
Beca was sitting on her bed playing a very aggressive game of Angry Birds when a loud knocking appeared at her door.
"Beca, Beca, open up!" Came a very enthusiastic voice, too optimistic for Beca's mood right now. She looked up from her cave of bed sheets wrapped around her and narrowed her eyes at the door. The redhead came in anyway, not bothering for Beca's personal space.
"You better have a good reason for this, Chloe," she said, looking at her clock which read 11:00am. "It's too early for my Chloe time today."
Chloe grinned excitedly and ignored anything Beca had just said. "Me and Bree are planning a trip to Vegas and L.A with the other Bellas. Wanna come?"
Beca rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Hard pass, but I'm good."
The older girl couldn't hide the disappointment on her face as she let her shoulders almost droop in sadness. The brunette suddenly felt a wave of guilt as she looked at her best friend, who apparently was pretty upset.
"Uh, Chlo?"
The redhead ran over to Beca and kneeled down next to the bed. "Please, please come, Beca." She looked up at the younger girl, her sky-blue eyes looking deep into Beca's own deep blue eyes. The brunette felt her guilt growing, since her best friend was giving her the ultimate sad face right now.
"No one will really miss me, Chlo."
Chloe let out what sounded like to Beca almost a whimper, and she swear in that moment she felt her heart physically melt with guilt. "Beca please," Chloe whined, "I don't wanna go if you don't come with me." The redhead raised an eyebrow. "I could always convince you…" The older girl tickled Beca on the ribs, and the younger girl squealed and giggled at Chloe.
"Okay, okay. But seriously, Chlo, you owe me, and I'm only coming because of you. Alright?" Beca shook her head in disbelief at the older girl.
The redhead practically leapt to her feet in joy. "Oh my god, just you wait Beca, we're gonna have so much fun. You won't regret it!" She hugged the smaller girl who, though not being a fan of people contact hugged the taller girl back, smiling.
"Alright, Chlo. Whatever you say."
Aubrey and Chloe's apartment.
"So, we stay in Vegas for five days, then come down to L.A for four days. It's easy, and I already found us amazing hotels to stay in for both, though on the first day we're probably gonna have to stay in a motel on the way up. And probably stay in a motel on the way back. So that's gonna add two more days…so that's eleven days in total."
Aubrey was explaining, or was trying to explain to Chloe her plans for their trip as Chloe bounded through the front door of their apartment.
The redhead gave Aubrey a confused look. "Wait, you've planned already? I was gone for literally twenty minutes."
The blonde shrugged, pretending that she hadn't been frantically googling and making spreadsheets since Chloe had left in the first place. "Well, I'm very organised."
Chloe rolled her eyes. "Admit it. You're pumped for this."
Aubrey smirked out the corner of her mouth. "You betcha I am."
The redhead's phone suddenly buzzed in her pocket. "I'm gonna make a group chat on Facebook. Stacie, Amy and Jessica and Ashley texted me saying they can go as well."
The blonde sighed. "I swear to god if Beca just contributes to our group chat making sarcastic comments, I'm going to be very, very pissed."
Chloe giggled. "It's just funny watching her wind you up, Bree."
Aubrey narrowed her eyes. "Don't encourage her, Chlo."
Chloe stuck her tongue out at Aubrey, enjoying this immensely. "I'm gonna go pack. We've gotta be ready in a few days, so I might as well do it now!" She skipped off into her room as Aubrey laughed.
"Well, this is probably the worst idea ever, Chloe."
"Or the best!" The ginger called.
