Cleaning had always been one of Aubrey's habits. Chloe's as well. So it was only natural that, when asked, the girls volunteered to pick up the Auditorium's messy arrangements in a heartbeat. That auditorium was their home, and the duo felt it necessary to treat it as such.

Now they stood with oversized plastic bags and defeated postures over an abundance of trash around them.

"Ridiculous," muttered one.

"Wow," mused the other.

The two girls began to take back their previous statements and considered leaving it to the dogs... Or Treblemakers, in this case. But they didn't. Instead, they pressed forward and cleaned.

They were almost finished when Aubrey caught sight of something on the judging table... An empty cup. It was the cup that once held pens, but no longer held a purpose due to the lack thereof.

Grudgingly, Aubrey took the chunk of garbage in hand and prepared to toss it.

Chloe, however, felt that she should do differently.

"No, wait..." The ginger's fingers slowly extended towards Aubrey. "I'll keep that."

Aubrey looked at both Chloe and the cup with a look of utter confusion. "The cup?"

"Yeah," Chloe managed. "I'm running out of cups in my dorm... So why not?"

"It's held pens for, like, a year."

The senior shrugged, "that's okay."

Gross. Aubrey scanned the cup's tacky design, "...It's not even close to Saint Patrick's day."

"Doesn't matter. People always use cups that aren't relevant to the nearest holiday." Chloe nodded and took the cup from Aubrey's hands, "my brother still has a Dora cup from when he was four."
Lightly manicured nails reflected the lights from above, momentarily capturing Aubrey's attention. "Original purpose is irrelevant."
All that matters is the purpose the object holds now.

Chloe's mind flashed to the time Beca had taken that very cup and changed its purpose. She taken something that was literally trash and made it beautiful. Made it musical. Gave it a new purpose.

This was a piece of Beca, and Chloe fully intended on keeping it around for a while longer.

That was that! Thanks for reading. I felt the need to write this because of the continuation of that yellow cup in PP2. Chloe actually uses it quite a bit. It's cute! Later, taters~!
