A/N: Saw a thing online about becoming a Red Panda Ranger, and immediately wanted to write a story about it. Let me know if I should continue it. If I do, it'll be a 6 part Mini-Series.

"Chloe!" Beca screamed from her attic bedroom on Thursday afternoon.

Chloe, who was down in the Bella's kitchen making lunch, immediately dropped everything she was working on and raced up the 3 flights of stairs to the room she shared with the tiny brunette.

Gasping for breath, Chloe clutched at a stitch in her side as she rounded the corner at the top of the stairs, expecting to see her girlfriend laying on the floor dying or something equally terrible, having never heard such a noise come out of a human before. Instead, she saw the back of Beca's head firmly attached to a tiny body that was practically vibrating from excitement. Beca was sitting at her desk and staring intently at the computer screen in front of her, looking perfectly healthy if not a bit flushed.

"What's going on?" demanded Chloe, whose initial concern for the smaller girl was rapidly turning into anger.

"Look!" Beca said, spinning around on her chair. "You can become a red panda ranger," she said happily, oblivious to Chloe's internal dilemma of wanting to be relieved that Beca was not injured and also fighting the urge of actually injuring her girlfriend.

"You've got to be joking," she stared at the DJ in disbelief. "I thought you got hurt."

"No, I'm not! I'm totally fine. In fact, I'm better than fine. See this?" Beca picked up her laptop and turned it around showing the screen to Chloe.

"Kids, become a Red Panda ranger today and help us spread the word about red pandas," the older Bella read aloud.

"Beca," she said exasperatedly.

"What?" Beca asked innocently. "Doesn't that sound cool?"

Chloe wasn't sure if Beca was pretending or actually being serious. Deciding to play along, Chloe continued scanning the page.

"The Red Panda Ranger is a special title given to children who help spread the word about red pandas. To become a Red Panda Ranger, "climb" each of the five mountains on the map below by completing the activities for each mountain," Chloe finished reading.

"I am so doing this," Beca said turning the laptop back towards herself, scrolling down to the different tasks.

"Beca. This is for grade schoolers. You're in college."

"You're just jealous because I'm gonna be a ranger and you're not," Beca said, sticking out her tongue.

"Okay, maybe she IS an actual child," Chloe thought to herself. Looking over Beca's shoulder, Chloe read the task in order to "climb" the mountain.

Beca was already rapidly filling out her answers.

"Beca, maybe put a different address than our university one, and sound a bit stupider, since you know, its for kids in 6th grade and below," Chloe finally said, realizing that Beca was indeed serious about becoming a Red Panda Ranger." And don't copy the website word for word. That's plagiarism."

"But I want to be the best Red Panda Ranger, and the best people know their stuff."

"Okay fine, but can you tone it down just a little?"

"Yeah, sure," Beca agreed nodding her head empathetically, "I want others to feel like they can be good Red Panda Rangers too. Not just me."

"Well, when you're done with that, lunch is ready babe."

"Mmmkay," said Beca absent mindedly, now looking at pictures on Instagram of a red panda named Carson, who currently lives at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington.

"Oh dear lord," Chloe thought. "What did I just encourage?"
