The wooden floor creaked as Beca continued to restock the shelves with health potions. AS she moved from shelf to shelf, the floor continued to creak. The sound echoing across the corners of the barren room, serving fuel Beca's anxiousness. She'll feel better when it is time to open the store, and the women of the Barden Bella Traveling Companions will doubtingly barrel into her store. It is only in the comforts and safety of her own mind that she admits that she enjoys their company, sometimes even enough to save some health potions Fat Amy or Stacie got hurt from being monster or bandit bait. Out of all the Barden Bellas, Fat Amy and Stacie have proven time and time again to be the best bait. Their skills had been enough to secure their spots during the recruitment period of the new generation of the Barden Bella after their fall from the king's favor.
Beca sighed as she finished restocking. She walked to the door and mentally prepared herself for the boundless energy of the women she had secretly grown so fond of. Sure enough, as soon as she flipped the open sign, a red headed witch barreled into Beca to give her favorite shopkeeper a hug.

Beca perked up curiously as the shop's door opened and a all blonde woman walked in. The woman's eyes roamed the dusty shop until her eyes landed on the multiple shelves of healing potions. She walked over and proceeded to grab every single potion on the shelf. The more potions she grabbed, the more Beca's eyebrows rose.
Both of them froze as the blonde woman turned to the cash register. Beca snapped out of her dazed state only moments after the other woman did. The woman seemed to puffed up her chest like a cat as Beca examined her. The blonde smirked and began sauntering up to the counter. She only got on foot in front of the other before she realized that she had a few dozen health potions in her arms and began stumbling. The falling merchandise sent Beca's heart racing, and it was only thanks to the woman's quick reflexes that the potions were saved from their death. Beca's heartbeat returne to normal as the blonde steadied herself, knees still bent and arms tightly wrapped around the dozens of potions.
She looked up and grinned -pink cheeks and all teeth-, and Beca's hear was sent racing for a completely different reason.
"I am Luisa." Shy eyes and a bashful grin.
"No, you are perfect." Red ears and a delayed sense of horror as she finally realized what she had said.

Beca looked up from her workbook as the door creaked open. She had almost given up on her new creation after the eighth time her mind had drifted off to dream of golden hair and toned arms She shook her head and sighed. She dreamed of being an alchemist whose creation would be sold all around the world. And as unfortunate as it is, dreams don't wait for teasing smiles and soft hands.
"Becaw!"
Of course, things are easier said than done, especially when she knows that Luisa is returning from her exploration of some cave near some other town. It was hard to concentrate when she was staring into an ocean of blue.
"Becs?"
She sighed an once again tried to return to her blueprint of a new lightning bomb.
"Uh, Becs? You there?"
She jumped and looked up, only to see Jesse, a new recruit of the Treblemaker Guards, who she was pretty sure had a crush on her. Beca had been too engrossed in thoughts of Luisa that she hadn't notived him enter. Jesse began to smile as Beca finally noticed him.
That smile dropped as Beca screamed.
Within seconds, the shop's door burst open as several women sprinted in. Fat Any body slammed into Jesse and proceeded to sit on him as Chloe began to wail on him with her staff, and Aubrey began to rant about how "Beca may be tiny and a shopeeper, but she is still one of the Barden Bellas, and if you mess with one of use, you mess with all of us" with Ashley and Jessica shouting there agreements, all the while trying to get a hit in along side Cynthia Rose and Flo. Stacie held down Jesse's legs as Lilly began to chant a spell. And as touched as she was that everyone from the Barden Bella seemed to consider her their own -even Aubrey who was always stern and stressed out-, she was pretty sure that Jesse didn't mean her any harm and that she should put a stop to this before Chloe realizes that she can cast fireballs, and Aubrey realizes that she has a giant sword strapped to her back.
"Guys! Guys! It's just Jesse! He surprised me!"
All of them seemed to stop at once. As a team, their heads turned to face Beca, then Jesse, and back to Beca. One by one they climbed off Jesse, each with a sheepish smile on their faces.
Beca went and grabbed one of her health potion and pressed it into Jesse's hand. Her eyes voiced her apology, and his grin voiced his forgiveness. He turned to the Barden Bellas and brushed it off when they tried to apologize, saying that he was glad that Beca had such good friends. Chloe almost seemed offended.
"Beca isn't our friend, she family."
Beca decided right there and then that Chloe Beale was getting a bigger discount plus a few extra potions and elixers the next time she shopped there. When the entire group shouted their agreements, Beca gave them all a permanent discount at her store. Beca caught Jesse's eyes, and even with the bruises forming around his face, she could tell that his growing grin was completely sincere. She sighed a peaceful smile as the Barden Bellas continued to berate the ever grinning Jesse for even thinking that Beca was just their friend.

"So why are you guys back so early?"
Jesse had left with his health potion, and it was only then that Beca realized that the Barden Bellas shouldn't be in town. Chloe huffed at the question and seeing one of their leaders angry, the rest of the members wandered off to look around the shop at the new items Beca had created in their absence. It only took a few seconds before Chloe began to complain about a rival group beating them to the Egg monster at Bacon Cave near Breakfast Town - Beca swear those names sound familiar.
"I mean honestly, the entire group wears leather! And don't get me started on the leaders of the group. That guy, Pieter or what ever his name was, has to be a werewolf. I swear he's a werewolf! And that giant blonde woman, she so frustrating. She's so arrogant! Who does she think she is? Who cares if she's an Amazon? She took our kill-"
Wait, tall, blonde, Amazonian woman in leather? Could it be-
"-and what kind of name is Kommissar?"
Beca breathes out a sigh of relief as she realized Chloe wasn't talking about Luisa. If Chloe was angry, Aubrey would probably be furious. Luisa was too pretty to have a fireball or giant sword thrown at her face.

The potions clatter on the counter as Luisa dumps dozens of health potions in front of her. Beca's heart raced as Luisa smirked down at her.
"Well, kleine maus?" Did you hear that? That was the sound of a shopkeeper's heart melting.
"Er- 500 Feros"
A raised eyebrow. "500? I bought the same amount last time for 700."
A furious blush. "A discount for you."
A bewildered blink. "For what?" And the words slipped out of her mouth.
"For your safe return to me." Did you hear that? That was the sound of an Amazon's heart melting.

"Is that three dozen more health potions?"
Jamie eyed Luisa cautiously. Das Sound Machine Adventure Corp. already had a few hundred health potions- all bought by Luisa in the past few weeks- and here she was again with three dozen potions to add. He couldn't understand why one of his leaders keep coming back to the same store for things she doesn't need. Not to mention-
"Kommissar?" Here goes.
"Hm?" She replied distractedly, lips curving into a faint smile. The same smile that's been there every time she's come back with these health potions. Jamie was terrified.
"You realize that we have our healer back right? We haven't needed any health potions for a while now."
Luisa's smile was gone from her face, and she was eyeing him from the corners of her eyes. He felt like running away, but he also needed an answer. Any answer. Simply to give the other member of DMS -Pieter refused to say anything, happy seeing his friend happy and his subordinates squirm-, so that they will stop thinking that the world was ending. Three of the members have told their parents that they loved them, already accepting their deaths. Despite his better judgement, he opened his moth once again to insist on an answer.
"Now that I thought about it, we definitely need more health potions. Thank you for being to considerate, Kommissar. Bye." As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out the door as quickly as his legs can carry him. Forget answers, he valued his life.
Luisa eyed the door that Jamie sped through with amusement as Pieter took Jamie's spot near her.
"I would also like to second his questions, although less with the running away and stumbling over words part. You know we have a healer."
Luisa doesn't even have to look at Pieter to know that he was grinning. She does not want to lie to him, but she also wonders if the amount of teasing she would receive otherwise be worth being honest. She glanced at him and sighed when she saw that his normally wolfish grin had softened to something more affectionate as he patiently waits for his closest friend to tell him the truth. She couldn't lie to him now.
"I know this, but kleine maus does not."
His grin widened, and she could already hear his next question.
"Kleine maus?" Luisa can hear the teasing note in his voice. She refused to look at him, she might punch him if she did.
