Hello :) So, this is for the 30 Days of Writing drabble challenge on Tumblr. I've never written anything Pitch Perfect-related before, but I'm so in love with this movie, that I figured I'd give it a shot.

Spoiler Alert! You guys will probably find this drabble badly written, but in my defense, I haven't really written anything in a while. So here goes.

Disclaimer: Y'all know the drill. I own nothing from/in Pitch Perfect.


Beginning

They're sitting on opposite sides of the auditorium, waiting for the first freshmeat (as Beca often liked to refer to the freshmen) audition to take place. Beca turns her head just a fraction to glance at him. Jesse looks back at her and wags his eyebrows, eliciting a smile from his girlfriend's face, before it reverts back to its usual sarcastic look, as she mouths the word "dork" at him.

Their silent banter is interrupted by the entrance of a tall blonde girl wearing a tad too much make-up onstage. Jesse gives her a wink before turning his attention to the blonde auditioning for the Bellas, and Beca is also forced to turn her attention back to the business at hand.

One by one the freshmen show off their ability to sing Katy Perry's Firework on different levels of terrible. Beca loses focus and her mind drifts back to her first day at Barden. She thinks back to her first encounter with Jesse, when he serenaded her with Carry On Wayward Son in the back of his parents' car. She remembers the day she auditioned for the Bellas, and the night she was initiated, their first competition, the night they won the ICCA's, her first kiss with Jesse…

She'd opened herself up to so many new things, and while she was still a bit scared, she had yet to regret any of the things she'd started in her first year at Barden. It's a new beginning for her this year too, as the Bellas' new captain. A new year that now involves actually attending classes and being with Jesse, and a new competition season where the Trebles and the Bellas, for once, get along.

"Told you," Jesse had once said to her, "the endings are the best part."

She thinks the beginnings are sometimes pretty good too.
