Author's note: The first draft of the second chapter of Pride of Barden is done, but due to Smeg punishing me for something I did(that I definitely deserve to be punished for, trust me it's entirely my fault), he won't be working on it till July 21st, so FSM only knows when after that it'll be done. This is just an idea I've been tossing around. It's unbetaed so all errors/its suckiness is on me. On with it.


"Hey Beca, I will be seeing you at auditions right?" Chloe asks as she sits down across from the DJ at the campus coffee shop.

"I'm thinking about it." Beca said, looking up from her laptop.

"You should come, we'll have all sorts of fun." Chloe smiled mischievously.

"I mean, I'm sure there are people who find it fun yes." Beca said blankly as she returned her attention to her laptop.

"Have I done something wrong?" Chloe asked.

"What makes you ask that?" Beca asked, not looking up.

"It's just, you're being standoffish." Chloe shrugged.

"Chloe, we haven't know each other that long." Beca pointed out. "This is how I am."

"Ok yeah, but we have a spark Beca, you can't deny that." Chloe countered.

"Ok, number one, this is like the third time we've met, after you ambushed me on your way to the shower. And two, you have a girlfriend, who's your soulmate apparently." The brunette explained, pointing to the name 'Aubrey' on the shoulder exposed by the halter top Chloe was wearing. Beca lifted her left wrist to the redhead, showing the name 'Chloe' on the underside. "You're the second Chloe I've come across that clearly is not my soulmate."

"You knew a Chloe before me?" Chloe asked, raising her eyebrow.

"It's not like it's an uncommon name." Beca said with a sigh. "At least she had reason to believe we might be soulmates."

"Why is that?" Chloe asked, her tone laced with curiosity

"After we met and she found out my name is Beca, we started dating." the brunette began. "After a few weeks, we started fooling around. I took her skirt off, and there on her inner thigh was the name 'Rebecca', which is not, and has never been my name. It's always been Beca. When I saw it, I ended things there, it wouldn't have been right. Just like it's not right for anything to happen between us."

"Oh Beca." Chloe laughed standing up from the table

"What's so funny?" Beca asked, clearly intrigued. Her eyes were drawn to Chloe lifting her shirt just enough to reveal the names 'Beca' and 'Stacie' on either side of her bellybutton. "Wait, what?"

"We have three soulmates." Chloe explained. "Each other, Aubrey, and someone named Stacie. Aubrey has your name and Stacie's too, you're on the sole of her right foot, Stacie's right under her left breast."

"Um, no." Beca said, shaking her head. "I only have Chloe, on my wrist here."

"You mean to tell me, since you've gone through puberty, that I'm the only one who has seen your ass, not even you?" Chloe asked.

"No, who sees their own ass?" Beca asked.

"Sometimes people do." Chloe shrugged. "But someone else could have seen."

"No, it wouldn't be right unless her name was Chloe, and the other Chloe wasn't right like I said." Beca said. "So wait, you're telling me, I have the names Aubrey and Stacie on my ass?"

"Yep." Chloe confirmed with a nod of her head.

"Hunh." Beca said, letting the information sink in. "So, who's this Stacie girl?"
