CHAPTER 2:

AUTHOR'S NOTES: At one point, I was prepared to address something in a Guest review, but I got talked out of doing so. So I won't do that. Anyway, let's get back into this story.

After Beca fell asleep, she woke up in an alternate universe.

"What the? Is this my dorm room?" Beca asked noticing it to be different.

"It is. In a different time." Amy said.

"Amy? Is that you?" Beca asked.

"I'm your Christmas guardian angel and I've granted you your wish." Amy said.

"What are you talking about? Where am I?" Beca asked.

"You wished you never joined the Bellas. So I'm here to show you what's different." Amy said as she took Beca to the first stop on the journey. They were at what auditions would've been if Beca didn't show up last minute.

"I can't believe she didn't show." Chloe said bummed.

"Well, it's like I said before: She's just too alternative for us." Aubrey reminded her.

"Maybe to you, but not to me. And I know she said when we met she 'didn't sing', but I heard her sing. She has an amazing voice." Chloe said.

"Okay, so she still heard me sing in the shower, but why didn't I show up at auditions?" Beca asked.

"You obviously had something more important on your mind than joining the Bellas." Amy said.

"Like what?" Beca asked.

"I'll show you." Amy said.

Amy lead Beca over to a classroom in a different building on the campus. As they were walking, Beca had this thought..."Whatever this was, it had to have been something other than my job at the radio station or my desire to produce music in L.A.".

"Oh, it was." Amy said as she showed Beca a classroom with students wearing sombreros and speaking Spanish.

"The Spanish Club?" Beca asked. "But that's impossible; I know my dad wanted me to join a club on campus, but I don't even speak Spanish. I'm not even that fluent in a foriegn language." She stated.

"After your dad told you to join one club on campus, you spent a whole week studying Spanish before joining the Spanish Club." Amy pointed out.

"I would never..." Beca said confused by what she was hearing.

"You want to move on?" Amy asked.

"Please! Maybe the next thing you'll show me will make a bit more sense." Beca said as Amy lead her to the Bellas rehearsal room.

"Why are we at a Bellas rehearsal?" Beca asked.

"To show you how different things are without you as a Bella." Amy said.

Beca noticed all of the other Bellas feeling miserable due to Aubrey's poor set list choices.

"So Aubrey's using the exact same set. That's what she does, right?" Beca asked.

"Yes. The difference here is, you're not around to remind people how old and outdated those songs are. As a result, none of the Bellas had to courage to step up and do the same thing themselves. Not even Chloe." Amy said.

"That's so sad." Beca said sympathetically. "So, are you implying that I'm the glue of the Bellas?" She asked.

"Bingo!" Amy said.

"I never thought of it that way." Beca said.

"Come on...there's one more thing we must see." Amy said as she lead Beca out to the quad.

"Remember that guy Chloe was in the shower with when she heard you singing?" She asked.

"Yeah. I didn't catch what his name was though." Beca said.

"I think his name was Tom. Anyway, since you didn't become a Bella, Chloe's friendship with Tom only grew stronger. Observe." Amy said as Beca noticed Chloe & Tom kissing.

"I knew there had to have been something going on with those two." Beca said.

"Yeah. Since you didn't become a Bella, you & Chloe never became best friends. As a result, Chloe & Tom's relationship grew to become more than a random hook-up." Amy said.

"Okay, I get it; without the Bellas, I apparently learned Spanish and never became best friends with Chloe." Beca recapped.

"Have you seen enough?" Amy asked.

"Yes! I want to go back to the real world where everything is how it should be." Beca pleaded.

"Come on. I'll walk you back to your dorm." Amy said as she lead the way.

When they arrived at the dorm room, Beca fell back to sleep in her bed before waking up in her dorm room in the real world.
