A/N: Soooo…apparently I'm having really bad writer's block on my three existing stories, so what do I do? Start new ones *shrug* I am working on them, it is just really slow going (and I'm in a little funk at the moment). So rather than dwell in frustration, I'm going with the attitude of keeping writing fun, not frustrating…and putting down on paper what is coming to me.

Summary: Forty five hours on a damn bus…forty five hours. How did she get talked into this? Beca, Stacie, Chloe and Aubrey go on a Spring Break trip to Cancun. Beca and Aubrey end up getting closer as their friends thoroughly immerse themselves in the spectacle that is Spring Break.

Rating: M (language, alcohol use and probably a lemon or two)

Disclaimer: I do not own Pitch Perfect or any of the sequels, so sad.

Beca looked at all of the students milling around the buses and gave a long sigh, how in the world did she let Stacie and Chloe talk her into this? Before she could contemplate coming down with a sudden illness, Stacie hopped into the space next to her, bumping her with her hip as Chloe ran up behind her and wrapped her arms around Beca's waist. Chloe giggled in her ear, "This is going to be so much fun, the four of us spending 6 whole days in Cancun. Sun, boys, music and drinks galore!"

Beca just nodded, "Don't forget the 45 hours cramped on a bus, each way."

Chloe giggled again, "I know, right. We are going to get to know so many new people from Barden just on the bus ride alone."

Stacie was craning her neck, looking over the crowds surrounding the two buses. She pointed at a couple of guys standing around a cooler, "I wouldn't mind getting to know those guys a little better."

Beca could only shake her head at the redhead's enthusiasm and Stacie's libido. She looked back over her shoulder and almost snorted in laughter at the look of disdain? disgust?, fear?; well whatever it was, Aubrey did not look happy about the prospect of spending the next two days on a bus with 'those guys', much less anyone else in the general vicinity of the buses. She stepped back to Aubrey's side as Chloe released her to check out the crowd with Stacie. Beca leaned over slightly and whispered conspiratorially, "I'm with you blondie, doesn't look fun at all."

Aubrey sighed as she stood next to Beca, arms crossed over her chest, "Remind me why we are going on this God awful bus trip."

She gave a small gasp as she realized what she had said and the look of hurt that passed over Beca's face made her feel more guilty than she already did at voicing that statement. She knew the only reason they were taking the bus to Cancun rather than flying was that this was the only way Beca and Stacie could afford to make the trip. The package deal was less than the flight alone would be if they went on their own. So before Beca could say anything, Aubrey quickly apologized, "I'm sorry Beca, I wasn't thinking when I said that. You know I wouldn't have agreed to even go to Cancun at all if it was just Chloe and me." That seemed to placate the younger brunette some, but the look of guilt still lingered on her face.

Aubrey gave a small smile and nudged her companion with her shoulder, "Come on, let's see what kind of trouble those two have gotten into already and find out what bus we're supposed to be on.

Beca nudged her back, finally letting a small smile cross her normally stoic face before nodding her head. The two didn't have to look far as their compatriots were exactly where they expected to find them, hanging out around the cooler with two of the guys they had been scoping out earlier. When they walked up, Chloe and Stacie smiled at them while they made the introductions all around. One of the guys offered the two new additions a drink and that was when Beca noticed that her two friends were already enjoying a beer. Beca was already dreading the bus ride and she didn't think having a drink before they even started was going to make the ride any better so she politely declined the offer. She gave a small smile at Aubrey when the blonde followed suit.

Just then the bus drivers started announcing last call to stow luggage below the buses before they got started in 20 minutes. The four girls said their goodbyes to the guys (for now) and Chloe linked her arm with Aubrey while Stacie linked hers with Beca (much to the chagrin of their 'partners') and they went to find seats on their bus.

Beca barely suppressed a groan when the two guys Stacie and Chloe had been talking to plopped down in the two seats across the aisle from her and Stacie. Stacie, however, beamed at the two guys and started flirting immediately. Beca sighed as she got her stuff situated, pulling her iPod from her backpack before stowing it under the seat. After the third time Stacie bumped her trying to talk around her, Beca gave her a small glare and asked if she'd rather sit on the aisle. Stacie smirked and nodded. Beca gave an exaggerated sigh and slipped into the aisle so Stacie could get out before Beca slid into the window seat.

Beca had finally gotten comfortable and had managed to drown out the noise around her with her headphones and music when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked up and saw a cute redhead smiling at her and pointing at her headphones. Beca gave Chloe a smile back as she slipped her headphones off to see what her friend wanted.

Chloe looked a little sheepish as she started, "Ummm, Beca, since you're just kind of zoning out to your music, can we switch seats? It's really kind of hard to talk around the back of the seats and I don't want to really block the aisle."

Beca raised her eyebrow at the redhead until Chloe started to pout at her. Beca muttered a "Fine!" She gathered up her stuff and waited for Stacie to move so she could get out of her seat. After Chloe slid into her vacated spot and Stacie sat back down, Beca moved back and dropped heavily into her new seat with a huff. Aubrey raised her eyebrow at the commotion next to her and then slid her own headphones out, "I see you've been relegated to the back of the bus with us boring people."

Beca laughed, "Yup. That's me, boring all around."

Beca dug around in her backpack for a few seconds and then grinned in satisfaction as she pulled out what she was looking for. She turned to Aubrey and held out her output splitter (headphone 'Y'). Aubrey smirked at her, "And just what are you proposing with that?"

Beca took a look around the bus, "I'm proposing that we share iPod's. That way we can listen twice as long."

Aubrey followed Beca's example and looked around the bus before nodding enthusiastically, "Good idea, but we listen to mine first."

Beca shrugged, "Fine by me."

Stacie's head shooting around her seat brought Beca out of the zone she was in. She caught Stacie laughing at something and pulled her headphones down and looked around the seat at whatever had caught Stacie's attention. She quickly turned back in disgust. Six hours. Just six hours into the trip and some stupid sorority chick was puking drunk in the back of the bus. Then Beca noticed that Stacie had a beer in hand and was looking a little tipsy. Beca sighed as she got the taller brunette's attention, "Stace, should you be drinking that much on the bus ride?"

Stacie just took a drink of her beer and laughed, "Lighten up Becs, it's our Spring Break!"

Beca gave a tight smile at her friend, "You're right, have fun, but please don't end up like that." She nodded her head towards the back of the bus.

Stacie just laughed again, "You know I can handle my liquor better than that."

Beca laughed with her, "True." As Staice turned back to talk with the guys next to her, Beca muttered under her breath, "But you usually aren't on a bus when you drink."

Beca woke up a couple of hours later with a kink in her neck. She was trying to be as conscientious of Aubrey's space as possible, so she had fallen asleep completely upright, but her head must have tipped to the side while she slept. She sighed as she looked at Aubrey all comfortable leaning up against the window against a travel pillow (well as comfortable as you can be, sleeping on a bus).

Aubrey didn't even open her eyes, but her hand reached over and lifted the arm rest between them and then she lifted her arm up in invitation to Beca. Beca gave a soft smile as she curled up as best she could against Aubrey's side, whispering a soft, "Thanks."

Aubrey gave a small nod and a smile ghosted over her lips as she whispered back, "No problem."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Beca slowly came to as she heard whispering above her. That shouldn't be right, she had her headphones on. Then she remembered that the battery ran out on the iPod about 4 a.m. and since everything was fairly quiet on the bus they had decided not to use one of their portable chargers, just in case they would run out before they reached the hotel.

Beca cracked open one eye to see two heads peering at them over the back of the seats in front of them. She saw Chloe smirk when she saw Beca's eye open slightly before she 'whispered' to Stacie, "Awww, don't they look so cute?"

Beca closed her eye again and raised her middle finger at the two giggling girls. She growled (ok, it was more of a whine, but she was badass damn it and didn't whine), "How can you two be up already and be so damn giggly?"

Chloe laughed, "Years and years of practice, young Padawan."

Beca groaned as she shifted off Aubrey's side, hoping she didn't make the blonde too uncomfortable during the night. She looked at Chloe blankly, "That's some movie reference isn't it?"

That got the attention of the guys Chloe and Stacie had been flirting with all night, "You've never seen Star Wars?"

That got the two girls down from staring over the seats to get into a lively conversation about Beca's disdain for movies. Beca grumped, "Most of them are just too predictable, I mean come on Vader is literally father …predictable really."

They guys just sat there with shocked expressions for a moment before turning back to the other two girls and continuing their conversation about Beca's lack of movie knowledge. Beca just sighed and tipped her head back into the seat and closed her eyes. After a few seconds she felt like someone was watching her and she tipped her head to the side slightly and cracked an eye open to find Aubrey leaning against the window with a smirk on her lips. Beca mumbled, "Not you too?"

Aubrey just shook her head without opening her eyes, "Nope, your avoidance of movies seemed to really piss that Treble off. Anything that pisses a Treble off is alright in my book."

Beca moved her head back to a more upright position with a small smile, "One of these days he might even get the hint that I'm not into guys."

Aubrey muttered, "Hopefully soon."

Beca leaned forward and turned to Aubrey, "What? I didn't hear that."

Aubrey finally opened her eyes and sat up, "Oh, I was just agreeing with you."

Beca nodded, "Oh, good because it really is annoying."

Aubrey turned towards Beca and put one knee on her seat, looking over the back of the seat towards the bathrooms. She wondered how bad they were after the puking incident last night. She turned back into her seat and looked at her watch.

Beca smirked as she watched the tall blonde before offering, "We should be stopping in about half an hour for breakfast. I'd wait until then."

Aubrey sighed, "I suppose you're right." It was going to be a long half an hour though.
