"We should talk to them, San", Brittany said as Santana kept staring from a distance to a group of girls trying to talk to the new students in the middle of the activities' fair.
"The Barden Bellas, Britt?", she said, turning to look into her girlfriend's eyes, "It sounds like the name of an unsuccessful middle aged women group from the italian X's Factor"
"I'm not sure they have The X Factor in Italy", Mercedes interrupted, observing the group.
"Oh, they have. I was asked to be one of the judges this year but I told my daddy I'd rather go to college first", Sugar smiled.
"Really? Can I go too?", Brittany asked excitedly.
"Totally, I'm pretty sure you could help with the dancing", Sugar replied.
"Okay, but for now… Are we going to join them?", Mercedes raised an eyebrow as one of the tiniest girls she had ever seen in her life obviously was getting tired of faking a smile.
"Or we could make The Troubletones the new college acapella hit", Santana had to surpress a smile when one of them started winking and making bedroom eyes at one of the boys passing by.
"They seem nice, San. I wanna make new friends, it's our first day!", Brittany pleaded with the puppy eyes that always made her girlfriend give in.
"But…", Santana sighed deeply, "Okay. But no commitment."
"None", Brittany answered immediately, kissing their intertwined pinkies.
"Then let's go! I wanna meet Adele!", Sugar pointed at one of the girls at the stand and clapped her hands, jumping up and down.
"Honey, that's not-", Mercedes started saying but it was too late, the girl was gone.
"Maybe their name is Barden Bella because that one is friends with Bella Swan", Brittany pointed at one of them while walking towards the group's stand.
"You should ask her that, Britt", Santana laughed as she noticed the resemblance between who seemed to be the group's leader and the girl from the movie (Brittany had made her watch. She hated it. She didn't ramble about how Jacob was better than Edward for good 10 minutes after the movie. At all).
Sugar impatiently waited a few seconds for them to arrive. They hesitated for a bit as they were getting closer to the girls, but their excited eyes at someone finally approaching them was inviting, so they just gave in and got closer to the stand.
"Hello, I'm Beca and I'm completely aware of how lame acapella singing groups look like from the outside, but I promise you we're not", the brunette in front of them smiled, looking rather tired.
"Every kangaroo in Australia knows who we are. Crocodiles are more of a guys groups kind of animal but I'm sure they'll come around. I'm Fat Amy", the girl sounded genuinely sincere and gave each of them a pamphlet.
"I thought Adele was from England", Sugar whispered in Brittany's ear.
"We're not from the outside, we're the national champions of the high school choir league", Mercedes said proudly and flashed them with her best smile.
"Oh, but this is the real life", the girl with the biggest neckline commented, "It's completely different."
"It looks exactly the same to me, Bond girl", Santana answered, offended.
"What Stacie meant", Beca interrupted, trying to sound nice, "It's that it's a whole new experience!", she tried to smile again, not sure how to act all receptive.
"Well, can we see you perform before we decide to join?", Mercedes asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You can YouTube us, honey", a girl with half of her head shaved said. "Oh, and I'm Cynthia Rose."
"I have. I really liked your performance at Nationals last year", Brittany smiled towards all of them.
"That's nice", Beca smiled back, "Do you plan on auditioning?"
"Yeah, I mean, if I can perform Britney Spears", Brittany shrugged.
"Actually, we choose the song", Stacie replied, still a little pissed at Santana's comment.
"Then you better choose Britney or you're gonna miss the best dancer that you ever set your eyes on", Santana snapped back.
"Wow, how did things get so intense?", Fat Amy made a peace and love sign, "We're all a group of sexy ladies blessing the campus with our presence, no need to fight."
"I… uh, you can perform Britney if you want to", Beca said looking at Brittany.
"Okay, but I'll need a snake because I left mine at home, Lord Tubbington couldn't come and I didn't want to leave him alone", she sighed deeply.
"Who the f is Lord Tubbington?", Cynthia asked.
"It's her cat", Mercedes smiled. "I'm Mercedes, by the way, and this is Brittany, Santana and Sugar", she said as she pointed at each one of the girls.
"Sugar is the name of the third hooker Jack the Stripper killed", Lilly whispered, but no one actually noticed.
"We're gonna audition", Santana simply said, "And we're gonna pass, so you can write our name on your custom-made jackets."
"We should have those", Fat Amy nodded thoughtfully.
"Confidence, I like that", Beca nodded her head.
"I'm sorry but I really need to say something…", Sugar held Fat Amy's hand, who widened her eyes, "I sound just like you. We should record something together."
"You sound like a puppy, but a very cute one, so I'll let that one pass without telling my body guards", Fat Amy blinked a few times and smiled a little awkwardly at her.
"Adele totally liked me", Sugar sounded proud.
"What? She's not Ad-", Beca started saying with a half smile.
"Don't even bother, Hayley Williams", Santana said, rolling her eyes.
"O-okay… Well, we look forward to seeing you all tomorrow afternoon, then", Beca replied, not sure if she should be offended. Something about the girl's bluntness made her like Santana. It reminded her of herself last year.
"Wait! Where's the girl who pukes? I liked that video too", Brittany said as Santana already started turning around.
"Oh, Aubrey and Chloe graduated", Stacie said, "But they'll be here tomorrow for the Aca-Iniciation."
"Aca-Iniciation?", Mercedes asked.
"Best party everrrr!", Fat Amy screamed loudly. A few boys passing by turned around to look at her. "Whassup", she winked at them.
"We'll be there", Santana laughed.
