I have never written a fan fic. Be kind. I do not own anything from Pitch Perfect or Rizzoli & Isles, just a fun bit of writing. Thank you. This is just the beginning. Let me know what you think and if I should continue.

Beca stood at the door kicking her black Converse against the music note on Chloe's bedroom carpet. "Bec...you only do that when you are really nervous. What's up?" Chloe asked innocently. Beca stepped forward, head still hanging down, now rubbing the back of her neck. "Well, you know Jesse and I broke up a while ago…and…" Chloe jumped in, "Do you need a hug? Is it an anniversary? Should we sit and cuddle? What can I do to help my best friend?" holding her arms out offering Beca a hug. "No Chlo, I'm ok. I mean, it's been 6 months, I think I'm over the breakup, and um, no. I'm good. Never mind, this was dumb." Chloe shut the top of her laptop, put her hands in her lap and looked earnestly at Beca. "Beca…nothing you have to say is stupid. Whatever it is you came here to talk to me about I am here for you, I will ALWAYS be here for you. You're my best friend, my sister; we are Bella's for life." Beca kicked the door closed with her foot before walking to the edge of the bed. She kept her head down and began fidgeting with her favorite thumb ring (of course the one that Chloe had given her freshman year). She took a deep breath in and looked up at Chloe. Her eyes immediately locked into those glowing blue orbs making her start to relax. "Well…umm…my dad…ya see he has this stupid shin dig on New Year's Eve at this hotel in Boston and he asked me to bring Jesse to it. Well, he didn't really ask me to bring Jesse; he just said that I should, because, well, ya know, I didn't really tell him we broke up." Beca knew she was babbling but she was trying. Chloe continued to keep eye contact smiling slightly. Beca continued, "Yea, well, so I had to tell him that we broke up but when he started asking questions, I got all nervous, and I started to freak out, so when he asked if there was someone new in the picture I said yes. And well, he assumed it was you because we spend so much time together, and they know I've dated girls in the past, and…"

Chloe took pity on her best friend and interrupted, "OK Bec let me get this straight…So you're dad assumed that you and I are the reason that you and Jesse broke up and that we are together?" Beca nodded as Chloe continued, "And you got nervous and clammed up like you do and didn't correct him…am I following you correctly? Another small nod from Beca as she began to kick the floor again. "So your dad thinks we are dating and that I'm coming to Boston for New Years is that right?" Beca took a big breath, "Chloe, I'm so sorry. You know how I hate talking about stuff like that with my dad and well he and Shelia are having this party and they expect me to be there with a 'date' and I freaked out when he thought it was you, but it seemed like the perfect out and…" By now Chloe had her million dollar smile going and was going to make her BFF work for it just for fun. She would do anything for Beca, she loved Beca. Chloe reached out and took Beca's hands in her own. "Hey, Bec, it's ok. So what you are trying to ask and by the way, you are doing a lousy job of it. You want to know if I will go with you to this New Year's get together as your girlfriend?" Beca bit her lip, "Yea Chlo, again I'm really sorry; we can go back to being best friends as soon as we get home." "You're gonna break up with me right after New Year's? Putting her hand on her chest dramatically, Beca, how could you?" Beca looked flustered again and was finding it hard to speak. Chloe added, "And I mean, we've been together 6 months already and you and Jesse broke up because of me and then you are going to drop me just like that?" Beca opened and closed her mouth like a fish until Chloe bust out laughing. "Dude, that's so messed up. I thought you were serious" Beca said as she slapped Chloe's shoulder. "You should have seen your face Mitchell; you looked like a fish out of water." "OMG, you are such a bitch! And I was offering an all expense trip to Boston for New Years and was going to take you shopping for a dress, and take you to the philharmonic, and meet my cousin but wow…you blew it Red!" Still laughing Chloe threw her pink Care Bear at Beca before she started to talk, "alright Mitchell, calm down a sec. I would love to go with you but I think you need to ask me something first. I mean, what am I going to say when your family asks how we got together? First you need to ask me to be your girlfriend, then you can ask me out to an extravagant New Year's party' Chloe said throwing her signature wink. Beca knew her friend was never going to let this go, she was going to have to go all in.

Taking Chloe's hand gently in her own, and her left hand on her cheek she looked deeply into those blue orbs and said, "Chloe…will you do me the honor of being my pretend girlfriend and going with me to my family New Year's party?" For a moment Chloe thought Beca may lean in and kiss her. She stared at Beca, "on one condition" Beca rolled her eyes, "geez Beale, what is it?" "We have to match at the gala, we have to go to the aquarium, and you have to meet my cousin & her new girlfriend. I didn't have the chance to tell you that I was headed to Boston for New Years to see my cousin. She moved there about 8 months ago for a new job and has a new 'friend' that I'm pretty sure is her girlfriend but she is afraid to tell me." Beca let go of Chloe crossing her arms over her chest, "so you're telling me that you were already going to be in Boston and this was easy but you made me sweat?" Chloe winked again, "YuP" adding an extra pop to the P. It's so easy to rile you up Mitchell. Every now again I like to see you squirm. "Screw you Beale" Beca said and she pushed her backwards on the bed. Chloe pulled Beca to lie down next to her placing her left arm under her head. "We really do need to work some things out though Bec, I mean, we need some ground rules, and a back story." "Come on Chlo, really? A backstory? Jesse and I broke up, you and I are together (or pretending to be) and then we can break up when we get back. There ya go." Chloe was Chloe, she wasn't a good liar, she needed details. "So you asked me out and we've been together for how long now?" Beca rolled her eyes again, "let's say 5 months, then it doesn't look like you came between Jesse and me." Chloe liked that idea; she was no homewrecker, even if they weren't really dating. "5 months, got it. Are we sleeping together?" Beca laid there stunned, not knowing what to say. Chloe smiled somewhat shyly, "I mean Bec, we have been friends for years and if we are now dating and it has been 5 months many would assume we are having sex." Beca sat up abruptly and started to leave. "Nope, Beale, not having this conversation, g'night." Chloe smirked, "come on Bec, your parents must know you aren't a virgin by now, I just need to know how affectionate I should be. I mean, is kissing ok? Do we hold hands? Do we have cute little pet names for each other? I know you're not one for PDA but I mean, come on Bec, I'm me, you know that, I'm just trying to figure out how much is too much?"

Beca turned around with her hand on the door knob pulling the door slightly ajar. She looked down at her sneakers before back up at Chloe, "yes, hand holding is fine, hugging, well, come on Chlo, like you said, you are you, hugging is a thing even when you are not pretending to be my girlfriend. Pet names….ew, gross, that's a negative. But the sex thing…I um…that's not something I talk about so I know my dad won't ask that. He will let us stay in one room or is you want you can stay with your cousin and I can stay with my Aunt Angela." Scratching her neck, "and if we are being honest for a minute, yes, I did sleep with Jesse but that's it. I mean, I had other girlfriends & boyfriends in high school but um…yea, that never happened." Embarrassed, Beca left the room, pulling the door shut she heard, "Bec?" She popped her head back in, not looking up at Chloe. "Bec, thank you for sharing that with me, I know you don't talk about your feelings but I'm glad you felt like you could tell me, I won't tell anyone, I promise." Glancing up Beca gave her a smirk, "I know Chloe, thanks for not making a big deal out of it. I'm gonna go to bed now. We can talk about all this again tomorrow ok? G'night Red. And Chloe, thanks for doing this, I owe you big time." Chloe smiled, "no problem Bec, have a good night girlfriend, love you." "Shut it Beale, good night." Chloe sat in silence thinking that being Beca's pretend girlfriend would be a good thing. They could get even closer, something that she had always wanted. Deep down she knew it wasn't going to be too difficult to be the girlfriend of someone she had had feelings for since the day they met.
