The first day of school is always nerve racking, as Aubrey was finding out. She couldn't help noticing most freshmen running around frantically, some of them lost, others wanting to be on time for orientation. Aubrey found her seat in the auditorium and listened to a few words from student ambassadors and the Dean himself. They informed the student body that the Treblemaker's where going to give a performance.

She watched as a brunette boy walked onto the stage, "I'm Jesse, and this is A Capella", he and a group of others wowed the crowd with the song Lollipop.

"Isn't this exciting, the Trebs are amazing" said the black headed girl sitting next to Aubrey.

"Yeah they are good" Aubrey retorted.

"Are you a fan of A Cappella?" stated the girl.

"I've actually never heard about it until now, but yes it seems so fun" Aubrey stated with excitement.

"I'm Emily Junk by the way, my mom was a Barden Bella, and I intend to audition, why don't you audition with me?"

Aubrey was nervous, Do I tell her my name? Maybe she will recognize me. "I'm Aubrey…Aubrey Posen, and I don't really sing sorry."

Emily and Aubrey shared a small conversation after that, they were being released to go to classes and or check out the Activities fair.

One Group of girls on Campus where made complete when the Mitchell Sisters finally arrived at the Bella House early that morning. Beca had entered, noticing all the girls where there besides Chloe, and they all rushed to hug her. Stacie entered last not really interested in the other girls. She looked around with disappointment looking for a certain red head.

"Where is Chlo..." She was cut off when she seen her girlfriend running down the stairs.

"STACIE MARIE MITCHELL!" Screamed Chloe as she jumped into Stacie's embrace tackling her to the floor, punishing her with bruising kisses. "I missed you Stace" The red head mumbled.

"I missed you too babe" Stacie said.

Beca and the girls had to leave for they might end up sick from what they were watching.

"Good god Stace, you just seen Chloe last week, get it together" Beca said in a snobby tone.

"Don't listen to her babe, she's jealous because she doesn't have what we have" Stacie shot back at her sister Beca.

"Whatever" Beca stated.

After their impromptu make-out session Chloe gathered the troops around the living room. "Girls I know we are the defending national and champions and all, but this year we will dominate the entire competition. Perfection from start to finish because this year's champions get to go to the World Championships this summer" Chloe stated. All the girls where in awe. After a few moments of catching up on the news the red headed captain motioned for another announcement. "Alright ladies listen up. As you know the Activities fair starts this afternoon and I need one of you to join me in the booth." Stacie would normally do it just to be with her girlfriend but in a surprise to Chloe she nominated her sister Beca. Naturally Chloe looked at Stacie with a pout, but Stacie shrugged it off "Sorry babe I'm just not a people person."

"Yeah I nominate Shawshank as well" Amy said.

Then one after the other all agreed Beca should do it. Beca looked over the group in disbelief.

"Thanks nerds."

"Come Beca, the fair starts at 1 and we need to set up" Chloe said jerking Beca up by the arm.

"But I haven't unpacked my stuff yet, oh never mind" she said as she was being tugged out the door.

The Activities Fair was the only day during the year when all the groups and teams got out together to try and recruit new members. Being on the first day of school most professors recommended to look around the fair to see what intrigued them.

"Why are we trying to recruit more girls anyway, most of these kids are freshmen. We have a championship core of girls now" Beca said in hate.

"Yes, that is true Becs but I'm the only senior of the group and the rest of you Bella's are sophomores. We need to build up a strong core for years to come…Join the Bella's!" Chloe yelled as she handed out the flyers.

"I suppose it does make sense, come join The Bella's!" Beca yelled.

"I have a good feeling about this year, especially how far we came last year and with the Worlds this summer! I can go out of top" Chloe started rambling.

Beca could see that the need to win was taking over Chloe. "So, does that mean you're finally going to graduate this year Chlo?"

"I'm not sure…Join the Bella's! I really enjoy being a Bella and Stacie's here. I guess I'm too scared to leave."

Beca lost her train of thought on Chloe's rambling when she caught a glimpse of her. A very lonely, timid blonde making her way through the fair. Beca couldn't take it any longer, so she sprang into action.

"Beca where are you going? Beca…Beca!" Chloe had to physically restrain the smaller woman back, she was clearly hypnotized by something.

"I'm going to talk to that blonde goddess over there" snapping out of her state, she covered her mouth in disbelief of what she said. Chloe shrugged it off, instead she looked past Beca at the woman in question. Her jaw dropped immediately.

"Beca do you have any idea of who that is?"

"An angel duh" again Beca covered her mouth, at this point she didn't trust herself.

"Very close. That is Aubrey Posen, aka The Governor's daughter" Chloe said in shock.

"Wait, how do you know for sure that's her and why is she here?" Beca asked uncovering her mouth.

"Yes I'm 100% sure that's her and I have no idea why she's here. By the looks of it though, I guess she goes to school here now" Chloe added. As soon as Chloe released the brunette, she shot towards her goddess. Naturally her quick movements startled the dazed looking woman. Aubrey began to feel stressed, does she know who I am? Her facial expressions where worrying Beca, was she being to bold, she didn't intend to scare the woman.

"Hi, I'm Beca Mitchell, I didn't mean to scare you, I just wanted to meet the most angelic woman…. forget I said that." Beca was overwhelmed with a blush she couldn't hide. However, it seemed to put a smile on Aubrey's face.

"You're fine, and I'm Aubrey Pos…she stopped remembering what her parents have said. She's already told one girl too many.

"Well it's wonderful to meet you Aubrey Pos" Beca said with a chuckle.

"Would you be interested in joining The Bella's? We are an A Capella group, we make music with our mouths. We are the defending National Champions and if we win again this year we get to compete at the World Finals in Copenhagen" Chloe said joining Beca. She handed the woman a flyer. Aubrey looked it over before replying,

"Sorry I don't really sing, I must be getting to class." Aubrey rushed off, leaving Beca worried about her.

"Chloe? Was she about to cry?"

"Don't worry Becs, she must be under a lot of pressure, but I know women, and that woman is interested" Chloe added reassuring Beca.

Aubrey ran off to class. She stopped in the restroom to dry her tears. In her first day, she has potentially met 3 friends, one who she thought was flawless, and they were all into this A Capella group, The Bella's. Aubrey had to lie, she was an excellent singer and wanted to join the group, but she would have to beg her parent first who probably would say no. So, she finished drying her tears and headed to class.

"She didn't even say bye" Beca said upset.

"Come on Beca, she's practically royal to us. She's probably into high society frat boys" Chloe added not really helping the situation.

"Don't say that Beale, she looked so sad, she's rather cute when she's sad" Beca mumbled however Chlo smirked when she heard it. The girls spent the afternoon handing out flyers and meeting one girl, Emily who was in deed a legacy that afternoon. All was somewhat looking brighter for the girls.

Aubrey's first day went somewhat well, despite the exchange at the fair. She did as instructed and headed home right after class.

"Well Bree how was it" her father asked.

"It was fine" Aubrey said quietly. Catching he tone, her parents expected the worst.

"What's wrong baby" her mother asked. "Did something happen today at school?"

"I knew we should have kept her out of school!" Her father demanded.

Aubrey started to cry, "No it's nothing serious, it's just I actually met some people today. 2 girls from the Barden Bella's and 1 freshmen at orientation who was wanting to audition for them.

"Who are the Barden Bella's?" her mother asked in curiosity.

"The Bella's are the defending national champions of Collegiate A Cappella. The girls I met where the captains Chloe Beale and Beca Mitchell. The other girl at orientation was Emily Junk."

"So, why does this matter?" Her father knew exactly what was coming.

"They asked me to audition and I really want to, you know I love singing daddy." Aubrey said with a pout.

"Absolutely not" her father said firmly.

"James! May I speak with you outside. Now!" Gloria was irate.

James knew he was not going to win this argument.

"She is going to join that group and you are going to support her whether you want to or not.

"But honey what if…" he was cut off.

"There is no more if and's or but's this time James. My little girl wants to be included into something and that's what's she is going to do. We have hidden her away for far too long, it's a miracle she can even function in a social environment."

"Gloria, I understand, it's just too risky for her" James added.

"Give it a rest James. Aubrey has never got to do anything she's wanted because the risk of your career riding on it. What do you want more? To be a workaholic president and further distance yourself from her, or to see our little angel happy? The real answer is you can have both, but only if you support her and let her be free." Gloria was rather convincing when it came to her daughter, there was no way James would argue because his wife was right.

"You are right honey, but we still need to look after her, I don't want people manipulating her for their own gain." James added.

"Bree baby, can you come here for a minute?" Gloria asked.

"Yes Mother" Aubrey asked.

Her father spoke up, "Aubrey we are going to allow you to audition for the Bella's. However, you will keep in touch with us and Alex, and you still must follow your curfew. We understand that college will provide many opportunities for you, and your mother and I are here to say, we will support your decision's fully."

Aubrey had to catch herself from fainting. Her mother had helped her regain her footing.

"Young lady, we are granting you this freedom, do not abuse it. The first sign of trouble and you're done, back to the way it is now."

"Thank you! Thank you!" Aubrey kissed bother of her parents. "Auditions are tomorrow, I need to go practice!" Aubrey squealed with excitement before running to her room.

"Homework first young lady!" Her father yelled. "I hope she behaves" James said.

"She's a Posen, she will keep it professional" Gloria said kissing her husband. The older couple laid in bed listening to their daughter in the next room singing the audition song "Titanium". They both smile at each other listening to how wonderful she sound. They could tell Aubrey had a lot of passion behind her voice. "Sounds like the singing lessons are paying off" James added kissing his wife before falling asleep.
