Author's Note: This is for Rare Pair Week at Tumblr. If you wanna check it out, the address is pprarepairweek dot tumblr dot com slash themes. Sorry had to list it like that, you know how freaky this site is about stuff like that. I've got a few worked out, as for the others, we'll see what happens when we get there. Anyway, um, the usual, don't know when more of anything else will come, Smeg's hiatus is still on going. It's nearing a year sadly, FSM only knows what'll happen if it does. I will be cranky that is for sure. Regardless, on with it. This one will be Chaubrey, set in their first year at Barden.

"Hab' 'nen Luftballon gefunden denk' an dich und lass' ihn fliegen." Aubrey sang along with Nena as she returned to the dorm she shared with Chloe. She found the redhead on the phone, and she could tell though she was trying to be polite, she wasn't happy with the conversation.

"Listen, Chi, it's great that you're going to be back in town for Thanksgiving, but, I just don't know if I'll have time to see you." Chloe said, nodding to Aubrey in acknowledgement. "Besides, I'm seeing someone and I'm bringing them home with me. Don't be like that, you're better than that. Besides, it's not even a guy. I'm bisexual, you know that, I've been out since I was 15. I've got to go, I've got to go, I've got reading to do before class. Yeah, bye."

"That sounded like an interesting conversation. Your ex-boyfriend " Aubrey asked as she sat at her desk. Chloe simply nodded in response. "So Detroit Rock City is going to be home for thanksgiving and wants to get back together with you?"

"It's Chicago, and yeah." Chloe confirmed.

"I know what his name is, you don't forget someone with such a stupid name as that." Aubrey mirthfully rolled her eyes.

"You know, it's funny." Chloe said as a thought dawned on her. "We've become friends so quickly, you know my ex-boyfriend's name, but you've never said anything about any boys in your life."

"Funny isn't it?" Aubrey asked, internally debating if she should come clean. But the redhead was right, they were friends, and truth be told, Aubrey actually really liked Chloe. "That's because there aren't any. I'm gay, Chloe."

The redhead quirked an eyebrow as she looked Aubrey up and down and thought about the few months they've known each other. "I can see it. So, why hadn't you said anything?"

"I'm not really comfortable talking about it." Aubrey slumped her shoulders. "My parents know, but they're not entirely thrilled with it. They tolerate it, but they don't talk about it. I think they think it's a phase, but I've pretty much known since I was 12, maybe even before hand."

"So, do you have a girlfriend, or an ex-girlfriend?" Chloe asked, curiosity flowing through her.

"No, not really." Aubrey shook her head. "Though there was this girl at summer camp when I was 13. She was my first kiss, and if there had been any doubt it confirmed that I'm super gay."

"What was her name?" Chloe asked

"Liesl, we were in Germany at the time." Aubrey explained.

"No wonder you know German so well, that's kind of hot actually." Chloe said.

"Yeah, it's why I don't like the English version of 99 Luftballons. I know German, it changes the story." Aubrey added.

"Are you going home for Thanksgiving?" Chloe asked.

"No, my parents are in Spain now, so I'll be staying here." Aubrey informed.

"That's great!" Chloe exclaimed. "You can come to Tampa with me and be my fake girlfriend so I don't have to put up with Chicago wanting to get back together, my parents already said I could bring a friend and they'd pay for the plane ticket. Besides, what are you going to do, stay here and get caught up homework? Oh my god, that's what you're planning on isn't it?"

"The thought crossed my mind." Aubrey admitted. "Though I suppose Thanksgiving in Florida might be nice."

"I just love airports. So many people coming and going, it's fun to think about what everyone's story is." Chloe said as they entered Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. As they walked, in the distance Chloe caught sight of a petite brunette girl that looked to be a couple years younger than them. Pointing her out, she added "Like her, she's cute, I wonder what her story is?"

"Cute?" Aubrey asked. "She's 15 at most. There are laws against that kind of thing."

"She's 15 NOW, but she won't always be." Chloe pointed out. "Besides, like I said, I just wonder what she's doing alone in one of the busiest airports in the country."

"She looks way too alternative, she's trying to rebel against her parents or something." Aubrey ventured a guess. Before she could add anything more, a taller brunette about the same age joined her and gave Aubrey pause.

"What was that you were saying about laws?" Chloe quipped as she watched Aubrey's reaction. "You're supposed to be my girlfriend don't forget, even if it's just pretend."

"About that." Aubrey said as they continued walking through the airport. "I don't know if this whole fake dating thing is such a good idea. We're roommates, we're friends, we're both on the Bellas together." the blonde listed off. "We're going to be in each others' lives for years to come, it's inevitable."

"You're backing out on me?" Chloe asked in a tone that bordered on whining. "But I told Chicago I was bringing my girlfriend home for Thanksgiving."

"That's kind of my point." Aubrey explained. "We're in each others' lives now. Your parents will come to know me quite well. Won't it seem weird if suddenly we're not girlfriends anymore?"

"We could say we decided to stay friends." Chloe offered, trying to salvage the situation, not realizing what Aubrey was trying to do. "Just please, I need Chicago to think I have a girlfriend so he can go back to West Point and move on with his own life."

"I get that." Aubrey acknowledged. "My point was, why fake it? This might seem like it's come out of the blue, but we've known each other for a few months now, and I really like you. I think there really could be something between us. So, how about when you introduce me to everyone as your girlfriend later, you really mean it?"

"Are you asking me to be your ACTUAL girlfriend?" Chloe perked up, but needing confirmation.

"I am." Aubrey nodded. She was prevented from saying anymore by Chloe happily kissing her. At the moment, neither girl cared they were in the middle of a bustling airport the day before Thanksgiving.

Note 2: Sorry it just kind of abruptly ends, I just wanted to get it done so I could get to bed as I need to be up early to take my mother to an eye appointment. I might be open to prompts for Meet the Parents (I'm leaning Jessica/Ashley for that one) and any of the last three. I don't have any predetermined pairings for the last three days. Just, please, no pregnancy stories, especially pregnant Beca.
