Hey! So this is a story that I have been working on for quite awhile now and I have finally gotten the courage to actually post it. It's kind of a collaboration of Pitch Perfect meets Orange is the New Black, but it is mainly focused on the Pitch Perfect characters. I thought of this story idea while I was browsing through some of the Pitch Perfect stories several months ago and I came across a story that also mixed OITNB and PP and I thought that those two story lines actually go well together. So, I came up with this story and I hope you guys like it. Also, if those of you read my other story Angels, don't worry, I haven't given up on it. I just kind of need a break from it for a little bit and I have been mainly focusing on getting a few chapters written on this story. If I get enough reviews or people interested in this, I will post another chapter for you guys. Enjoy. =)

Imaginary Enemies

Chapter One

I've never really had the easy life. Never been one to have close friends or popularity. Those who happen to be close to me were very special because I rarely open up to anyone. Growing up, I was known as the kid who had the two prison moms for parents. With a reputation like that, I obviously wasn't everyone's favorite person to be around. In fact, it was probably your best interest to avoid me at all cost, or at least that's what most of the town people told their children. Everyone followed this rule…that was everyone except for her. Now, you're probably wondering who is this crazy girl who decided to break the rules of society to hang around the likes of me. Well, you will find out shortly when we get there. My story starts on a typical Sunday night at dinner. You would think dinner would be when you sit down with one another and talk about how each other's day has gone right? Well, you obviously haven't met my family.

"Jesus Christ Piper! All I said was that I needed to add some salt to it! That doesn't mean that I don't hate what you made!"

And here's point one that my family isn't your typical sun-shiny family. The woman who is currently yelling is my mom Alex Vause. This is pretty typical dinner for me. Usually my parents argue over something silly throughout the whole dinner and then return back to being semi-normal.

"I'm not saying that you think what I made is gross! I'm just saying that if you like what I made then why do you feel the need to add salt to make it unhealthy? That kind of defeats the purpose of it being a HEALTHY meal Alex!"

And that would be my other mom, Piper Chapman. Now, you're probably wondering why they don't share the same last name. Well, it was because the two couldn't stop arguing enough to pick which last name they would use, so they both decided on keeping their own. The most common question I hear being asked is, "Beca, why are these two still together if all they do is fight?" Believe it or not, they are actually both so incredibly in love with one another that it is actually sickening. They probably wouldn't admit it out loud though, but they do show it when they think no one is looking. I'm actually pretty sure that they can only understand each other so I've stopped trying to make any sense of it. Anyway, basically these two have shared a lot of history together and that is a story for another day.

"I don't get why you keep trying to push this healthy shit on us! I'm pretty sure Beca likes to eat pizza just as much as I do!" Alex said while trying to put me into the conversation. I was about to respond when Piper said something.

"We can't just eat pizza every night Alex! It's not good for a growing girl to constantly eat junk food!"

Alex rolled her eyes and said, "Oh don't try to act all miss healthy eating Pipes! You know just as well as I do that you enjoy all that unhealthy shit just as much as I do. I remember when you begged me to go into town at three in the morning just to get you ice cream and pizza rolls because you were on your period and craving them."

I laughed at that, which caused Piper to glare at me. "And what has made you all giggly all of a sudden?"

Still laughing I said, "Oh nothing, I'm just thinking about a hormonal you begging mom to go get you pizza rolls and ice cream at three in the morning."

Alex grinned and said, "You should have seen her when I said that I wasn't going to do it. She had actually been drinking a few hours before so your mother here was very drunk and when I refused to go, she quickly ran into another room and grabbed one of her brother's foam swords and a pillow and stood in my way. She refused to move until we dueled one another to a "fight to the death."

Laughing even harder, I took a bite of the terrible steamed broccoli and tried not to cringe at the taste. "Who won?"

Alex sighed and said, "Your mother did. So, I actually had to throw pants on and run to the store. I mean literally run to the store. As a type of punishment to losing the battle, the loser had to run from the house to the store to get the food."

Piper started laughing at that and said, "It was pretty cute watching your mom run in her little short shorts."

"They were the only ones I could find! And they weren't mine! They were yours thank you very much!" Alex said with a pout.

Laughing at the story, we all continued to eat dinner. Thankfully, the arguing stopped for now. After dinner was over, I was upstairs in my room when my best friend Jesse texted me. "Hey Becaw! You fancy a little drive tonight?"

I rolled my eyes at the text and responded back. "I think I need to stay home tonight. Sorry bro. =("

Not a minute sooner, my phone dinged but this time it was from Stacie. "Rebecca Ann Vause! You are going out with us tonight whether you like it or not. Now, we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way. You pick."

I rolled my eyes and tried not to smile at the text. Stacie has been my best friend just about as long as Jesse has been. They are just about the only two people that I trust the most in my life. Stacie and I have a unique relationship though. We dated for about a year and a half our freshman year of high school before we both mutually decided on keeping it as friends. It's never been awkward between us either, which both of us are thankful for. She's also been the only one that I open up to about my parents. It's not that I don't trust Jesse, because I do with my life, it's just she's the only one who knows how much it had sucked growing up with two moms who are known as Litchfield's famous prison inmates.

I decided to mess with her a little bit and text back. "Hm…and say that I pick the hard way?"

My phone went off a minute later and I laughed at what she said back. "The hard way would be me coming into your house and forcibly dragging your ass out of it. And don't even try using the whole Piper and Alex would get pissed excuse. Because let's face it: your parents absolutely love me to pieces. ;)"

I sighed and figured it was a loss cause and that I should just give in. "Fine…tell Jess to pick me up down the street. I will be there shortly."

"That's my girl. See you soon!"

I got up from my bed and decided to slide on some basketball shorts and a hoodie. I put on a snapback hat backwards and started listening to see if my parents went to bed. It's not like they would really care if I go out on a school night…well okay Piper would but Alex probably wouldn't care…but I just don't want to deal with them arguing with one another.

I slowly made my way downstairs and I could tell that at least Piper was in bed. Alex could be either in her game room watching some type of movie or in bed. It's actually kind of hard to tell with her. I almost made it to the front door when I heard a throat being cleared. Turning around slowly, I saw that it was Alex standing behind me with a grin on her face.

"And just where do you think you're going Becs?" Alex asked as she kept her grin on her face.

"Oh um…Jesse texted me and asked to hang out for a little bit…is it okay if I go out?" I asked, praying that she will say yes.

"You know…I should probably tell your mother that you were trying to sneak out. If she ever found out about that, she would probably ground you for a month." I started groaning at that. Well, there goes my freedom for a little bit. "BUT…luckily I'm not the loser parent. I know how it is growing up and wanting to hang out with friends. I just want you to promise me that you'll stay out of the drug scene kid, don't end up how I did. Trust me, federal prison is not a fun place to end up at."

"But isn't that how you met Nicky and Lorna?" I asked curiously.

Alex smirked and said, "Maybe. But that's not the point. The point is your secret is safe with me as long as you don't make me regret it. And make sure you're home at a decent time okay? You know how your mother is about getting a shit ton of sleep and what not."

Smiling, I walked over to Alex and gave her a hug, which she happily returned. "Thank you for being the cool parent. I love you."

She pulled away form me and patted my arm while saying, "One of use has to be. And I love you too kid, now get out of here before I change my mind. Oh, and tell Stacie I said hello." Alex winked at me and started to walk back to her game room.

Smiling, I walked to the front door and left. Stacie wasn't even kidding when she said that my parents love her. Sometimes I think they love her more than they love me. Walking outside, I took a deep breath of fresh air. I really do love it here in late summer. The weather isn't too bad but it isn't too chilly either. Walking down the street, I heard a car pull up and someone yell out the window.

"BECAW! BECAW!" Jesse yelled.

I turned to him and laughed because I could already tell he was high off his ass. "Jesus Jess, I didn't expect you to start without me." I walked around and got into the front seat of his Jeep Wrangler. Jesse grinned and started to drive off.

"I was bored and Stacie wasn't keeping me entertained enough back there. And I didn't even know if you were going to be able to hang out tonight. So, I just decided to get started early in case your parents said no." Jesse said as he continued to drive. He was actually a better driver while he was high than he was when he wasn't.

"Well, luckily for you, Alex was the one who caught me sneaking out. Who by the way said to tell you hi Stace." I said as I looked back and smiled at her.

She smiled back and said, "I'm telling you Becs, your parents love me."

"So was she pissed at you?" Jesse asked, completely ignoring mine and Stacie's comments.

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Jess, this is Alex Vause…as in the Alex Vause that we are talking about here. She was really cool about it all and all she did was warn me about staying away from the drug scene and making sure I didn't end up like how she did. And she also said not to stay out too late because of school." I pulled open Jesse's glove box and saw the bag of weed and papers in there. I rolled my eyes again and said, "Jesus Jess. You really need to find a better place to hide this stuff."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have I mentioned how much I envy you? I wish I had as cool as parents as you do Becs."

I snorted at this and said, "Yeah okay. Because having parents who argue with one another over the most ridiculous things is an awesome thing to have in your life. The only "cool" one is Alex and that's only because she's trying to make sure she doesn't fuck up my life like how her parents fucked up hers. And my other mom tries to be "cool" and "hip", her words not mine, because her mother was so stuck up her own ass to even pay attention to Piper when she was growing up."

I felt a hand being place on my shoulder and a soft squeeze. I turned around and saw that it was Stacie who gave me a smile. "Hey, not everyone has perfect parents Becs. But I can see that they both love you dearly and would do basically anything they asked you to."

"And let's not get started on Lorna and Nicky. Those two are down right hilarious! When are they coming up to visit again?" Jesse asked as he pulled into Ashley's driveway. Ashley is the girl that Jesse has had a major thing for about a year now. It's really cute how much he tries for her.

I shrugged and put the joint that I've been focused on rolling up in between my lips and lit it. After taking a hit or two off of it, I exhaled the smoke while saying, "I'm not sure. Hopefully soon because I need a little break from the craziness at my house."

When Jesse stopped, I crawled back to the backseat so Ashley could sit in the front with Jesse. Stacie welcomed me with a warm smile and quickly stole my joint from me.

"Hey! Who said you can do that Conrad?" I asked as I tried to take it from her.

She smiled and took a hit off of it and blew the smoke in my direction. "Says me, shorty. We both know who will win in this fight so give up before you can even start."

I rolled my eyes at her and lunged for the joint anyway. I knew it was coming, but I never learn. Stacie quickly dodged me and ended up pinning me down in the backseat with her on top of me. "I told you, you would lose this fight Becs."

She looked me in the eyes and I could just tell by the look she's giving me that she wants to kiss me. I've noticed that with her before. Any time we ended up wrestling or if she ended up on top of me, she would look like she's going to kiss me. She usually doesn't end up doing it, but it's still weird. It's times like this that makes me feel like she really isn't over me like she says she is.

Stacie sighed and got off of me and helped me up. We ended up sharing the joint while Jesse took us to our usual driving area, which is around the country parts of Litchfield. It was around one in the morning when Jesse pulled into my driveway quietly. When I got out after telling everyone bye, Stacie decided to get out with me which was pretty normal for us. Jesse just rolled his eyes at us while he turned to the passenger side to talk to Ashley.

"I'm really glad you came out with us tonight Becs." Stacie said with a smile.

I rolled my eyes and said, "Like I had any choice in the matter anyway. You would have dragged my ass out of bed anyway."

She grinned and got closer to me as we got on the porch. "That is true. I just wish you could stay out later with us."

"I'm lucky that mom is letting me even hang out tonight as is. I didn't want to push my luck." I said as I looked over at her.

She smiled and got closer and looked at my lips and back at my eyes. She did this a few more times before she said something. "God you are so attractive when you try to be a badass." She leaned in and kissed me softly, which quickly deepened a little bit.

I kissed her for a few minutes and then slowly pulled away and said, "Stace…that isn't fair to me one bit."

She grinned and kissed my cheek and said, "Who said that I ever play fairly? I'll see you tomorrow morning at school miss Vause. Try not to miss me too much."

She winked and walked off the porch and to Jesse's car. I sighed softly and walked into the house quietly. I almost made it up the stairs safely when I heard a door open.

"Beca? Where in the hell did you go? You smell like weed! I swear if you've been out with your friends smoking…" Piper said but was interrupted by Alex, who came out of nowhere.

"Relax Pipes, Beca was downstairs with me. We got to talking like we normally do and I didn't see the time. I'm sorry I will make sure she gets to bed. Just go back to sleep sweetheart." Alex said while looking at me and winking discretely.

Piper looked from me to Alex for a minute until she sighed and decided not to argue for once. "Just make sure you go right to bed Becs. You know how important a full night's sleep is." She walked into the bedroom and shut the door.

I turned to go to my room and I heard Alex follow me as well. We both walked in and I heard her shut the door. Looking at her, I saw her looking at me with her famous smirk on her face.

"Why are you looking at me like that mom?" I asked, tired of being smirked at.

"I saw you and Stacie by the front door. You going to tell me what that was all about?" Alex said while she continued to smirk at me.

I shrugged my shoulders and sat down on my bed. "It was nothing. It was Stacie just being Stacie."

She went over and sat down next to me. "It sure didn't look like nothing Becs. Stacie is a nice girl sweetheart so I wouldn't care if you two dated again."

"That's the thing mom, I don't think I could date her again. Yeah, I like kissing her and she feels safe, but I can't date her. I love her, but I'm not in love with her anymore." I said as I looked over at her.

She smiles at me and pats my shoulder. "Then just do what makes you happy Beca. If just kissing her and possibly being friends with benefits with her makes you happy, then do it. I'm sure she wouldn't mind. I see the way she looks at you sweetheart and it's definitely as more than friends."

"You've noticed that too? Okay, I'm glad I'm not the only one then. I just don't want to hurt her."

"Then talk to her about it kid. It never hurts to just talk to her about it. I swear you become more and more like myself the older you get." Mom leaned over to give me a small hug and sniffed. "God you reek of weed Becs. No wonder your mother was pissed. What did I tell you before? I don't care if you smoke the green stuff just make sure you don't make it obvious to everyone else. You know how your mother feels about the whole drug thing."

"It's not like I'm doing the bad kind though. I just don't see why she freaks out over pot. All it does is make me hungry, and hell it doesn't even do that to me." I said as I sighed and looked at my mom.

Alex laughed and said, "Yeah well, your mother just worries. I've always teased her about worrying too much. She just doesn't want you to go down the path that we did when we were young adults. Hell, I don't want to see you go down that path either."

"I'm not planning on smuggling a shit ton of drugs all across the world if that's what you both are worried about. And besides, how in the hell did you even get mother to agree to that anyway?" I asked curiously.

Alex just smirked and said, "Let's just say that I'm pretty good at persuading your mother to do just about anything that I ask her to. And good, I don't want to see my daughter ever go to prison. I will personally go there and kick your ass myself if you do."

Laughing, I looked at Alex and said, "I don't think you have to worry about that mom."

"Good kid." Alex got up and pulled me into a tight hug and kissed the top of my head. "Now, get your ass to bed before your mother comes in here and we both get our ass's in trouble."

Smiling, I told her goodnight and plopped down on the bed. As soon as the light was off, I was out cold. The next morning came too quickly and soon enough, I was out of bed, showered, and dressed. Walking downstairs, I walked into the kitchen and grabbed some cereal to eat.

"Why didn't you tell me that you and Stacie might be getting back together Becs? I'm your mother, wouldn't you think I would like to know these things?" Mother asked from her spot at the table.

Groaning, I sat down across the table from her. It is seriously too early in the morning to be having this conversation with her. I turned to my mom and she looked apologetic. "What the hell mom? I thought you weren't going to tell!"

"I'm sorry kid but your mother has ways to get things out of me." Alex said with a grin.

Piper rolled her eyes at Alex and said, "Alex, our daughter doesn't need to know about those ways. And Beca, you don't speak to your mom like that! What happened to the whole no secrets thing? I thought we were all in agreement with that?" Piper was pouting at this.

Alex and I rolled our eyes and both said, "No, you agreed to it."

Piper looked at the both of us and then laughed and said, "It's crazy how you two are so alike. Let's just hope you don't turn exactly how your mom did though."

"Hey now! I turned out just fine thank you very much!" Alex said while pouting

I heard Jesse honk his horn from outside and I sighed a sigh of relief. "Well, as much as I would love to stay and chat about who's right and who's wrong, I need to get to school. I'll see you both when I get home." I stood up and kissed both of them on the cheek and walked out the door. When I got inside Jesse's jeep, I smiled at him and threw on my shades. "Thank god you arrived when you did. I swear you have the best timing in the world."

Jesse laughed and pulled out of the driveway and went towards the school. "Ooh let me guess this morning's topic of discussion! Hm…was it about how you came home smelling of weed again?"

I laughed and said, "Actually you were kind of close. It was about my sudden re-relationship with Stacie."

"Dude, you and Stacie got back together? What the hell Becs! I thought you said you were going to tell me first?" Jesse asked excitedly.

Rolling my eyes at him I said, "Dude, Stacie and I are not getting back together. There is no relationship. If anything, we are just friends with benefits or something. My mother was just over reacting like she normally does. Somehow mom accidentally let it slip that Stacie and I kissed last night before I went inside and now all of a sudden she thinks mom and I are hiding things from her."

Jesse laughed harder and harder the more I talked. "I swear Piper is the most paranoid person I have ever seen. How does Alex do it?"

"I honestly think that those two are the only ones who will ever be able to be with each other because I think if they tried to be with different people, they would end up driving the other person insane! Please don't tell me I act like them Jess…" I said as I pouted.

Jesse laughed and pulled into the parking lot of the school. "Well, I can definitely tell you that you don't act like Piper by any means. You're like a spitting image of Alex if I had to guess who you act more like. And judging from the stories you've told me about her when she was growing up, you act like her as well."

We both got out of the jeep and started to walk to our lockers. A flash of red hair crossing my vision distracted me of what I was doing. Looking across the lawn, I saw that it was the girl that I've been crushing on since my sophomore year of high school. Chloe Beale, the school's most loved student. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that either. You know how the super popular girls are usually extremely rude and bitchy towards other students? Well, Chloe is the opposite of that. She is insanely nice to them all and you can tell it's genuine too. Now her best friend, Aubrey Posen, is the exact opposite of that. I'm pretty sure if you look up the word bitch, her obviously fake smile would be plastered all over it. She is the last person you want to cross and everyone knew that too.

"Why don't you just go over there and talk to her Becs? It would be a hell of a lot less creepier than just standing there and staring at the girl." Jesse said as he continued our walk to the lockers.

"Are you serious? Someone like me doesn't just walk on up to someone like Chloe. Everyone knows that. And besides, I'm pretty sure Aubrey would kill me before I even said three words to her." I said as I stopped staring at Chloe and continued to walk with Jesse.

"It doesn't hurt to try Becs. You know Chloe is different than the typical popular bitches here anyway."

"I am way out of her league though Jess. Even she knows that." I said as I got to my locker and opened it up.

"Who's out of whose league?" Stacie said as she came up beside us.

I looked up at her and saw that she was smiling brightly at me. "Jesse here seems to think that I should go up and talk to Chloe Beale."

"It's not like you would be saying "Hi, hello. My name is Beca and I've been crushing on you since our sophomore year and everyday I stand there and just stare at you." It would just be a simple hello. What's the harm in that?" Jesse asked.

"Yeah Becs, there's nothing wrong with that. Chloe is actually a really nice person. You should go over there and talk to her Becs." Stacie said with a smile.

"You guys don't understand. To her kind, I am nothing but scum beneath their feet. They aren't allowed to talk to me or even be seen with me. It's against the rules. I'm way out of her league." I said as I shut my locker door.

Stacie turned me around so I could face her and I felt her place her hands on both of my cheeks on my face. "You listen to me Beca Vause. You are NOT scum beneath anyone's feet. You are a very beautiful person and anyone would be incredibly lucky to have you in their life. You aren't out of anyone's league." I felt her lean in and kiss me softly before pulling away with a smile.

Jesse was grinning at this, which made me roll my eyes at him. "Alright, let's go to class you pervert before anyone else gets a show."

Stacie hugged us goodbye and left to get to her class as well. Jesse and I started to walk to our English lit class while talking about little things here and there. When we walked into the classroom, we sat in our usual spot in the back. The classroom was loud with the other students chattering about how their weekend went. It suddenly ceased and I looked up and found out what the cause of it was. Chloe and Aubrey just walked in and just like normal, all eyes were on them. Chloe looked to be a little bashful of it while Aubrey seemed to soak it all in. Suddenly, Chloe's eyes turned and met mine and I swear my heart was going to fall out of my chest. She has the most beautiful eyes that I have ever seen. She smiled kindly at me and went and sat down in a row in front of me. That was odd, she never sits near me. Her and Aubrey usually sit in the very front, and I can tell Aubrey was just as confused.

When class started, the teacher announced that we were going to have a group project due in a few weeks. Of course that earned groans from everyone in the class. Normally, when we have group projects the teachers let us pick our groups. But unfortunately Mr. McAllister was a different case. Mr. McAllister always liked to pick our groups, and usually he places people with others who normally don't talk to one another. It was his way of trying to get us to all become friends. He went down the list of the class and started to pair people together. Jesse and I both sat with our fingers crossed, hoping he would put us together by some miracle.

"Jesse Swanson…you will be paired with…" We both held our breaths waiting for him to continue. "…Aubrey Posen." Jesse and I both groaned at that. I looked up and saw that Aubrey was glaring at what I'm not quite sure, and Jesse had his head in his hands.

I heard my name being called next. "Beca Vause…you will be paired up with…Chloe Beale."

No. Fucking. Way. Out of all the people I get paired with, it had to be possibly the most gorgeous girl in the whole school? Just. My. Luck.

And that's the beginning of the story. =) How do you guys like it? Like I mentioned up above, if I get enough people who like this and want me to continue, I will post another chapter soon. Also, I love OITNB but unfortunately I have only seen the first season because my internet sucks ass and I can't use my Netflix with it to watch the second season. So, basically anything that has to do with that show it will be based purely on the first season until I can get a hold of the second one. So I apologize for any confusion. I welcome all reviews here and I don't mind people telling me what they like or don't like about the story. If you have any ideas on what you would like to see in future chapters or if you just simply have a question you want answered, feel free to send it through review or a private message and I will try my best to answer them. =)
