"You know Bree, I really think I'm over Tom." Chloe said as she and Aubrey exited the building they'd just had class in. "And men in general."
"So what's brought this on?" Aubrey asked, raising an eyebrow
"Does anything have to have brought it on?" Chloe
"You were gushing over Chris Hemsworth in Thor just the other day." Aubrey pointed out.
"I was also quite fond of Kat Dennings too, if you recall." Chloe defended herself.
"Ah, I get it now." Aubrey nodded. "This is about the pain in my ass that is Beca Mitchell."
"It's not JUST about her." Chloe said.
"Please, your hands are all over her as much Stacie's are over herself." Aubrey interjected.
"You want your hands all over Stacie." Chloe teased, thankful the attempt to deflect
"This isn't about me and where I may or may not want my hands." Aubrey said. "What's changed between you and Beca that has you giving up on men altogether?"
"Nothing's changed." Chloe tried, though she knew Aubrey knew that wasn't entirely true. "We kissed, but it didn't mean anything."
"What do you mean it didn't mean anything?" Aubrey requested clarification
"I was teaching her to dance because she had this date." Chloe explained. "She missed a step and next thing you know our lips make contact. I brushed it off like it was nothing, but you know I've been low key crushing on her since the activities fair."
"I do." Aubrey agreed. "But I don't understand why this has you officially joining my team."
"I just never realized it would be a possibility. Which reminds me." Chloe said, handing a twenty dollar bill over to the blonde. "But it doesn't matter, she's got a girlfriend now."
"I told you." Aubrey gloated as she pocketed the money. "She actually told you she has a girlfriend?"
"No, she didn't have to." Chloe shook it off. "She tells me she's being set up with this girl that's 'Emma Watson level hot'. Would you be able to pass that up?"
"She is quite atractive." Aubrey agreed, her eyes glazing over as she thought of the actress. "But just because she's hot doesn't mean they're going out. Did she even know this girl beforehand?"
"I don't know, she at least knew she was hot." Chloe said. "That's got to mean something. I can't compete with Emma Watson."
"You certainly can." Aubrey said. "Chloe, you're gorgeous, you're easily the best person I know. She'd be lucky to have you."
"It's just not fair. I meet this great girl who I think I could really have something with, and at first I can't have her because I'm unavailable, and then when I am, she's not." Chloe pouted.
"Chloe, there she is." Aubrey pointed Beca out in the distance, walking with her head phones on, oblivious to the world. "Go talk to her, see if you really have reason to be jealous of this random hot girl you've never met. If you do, then we'll talk."
"If not?" Chloe asked, gathering her courage.
"If you don't, then you can ask her out and maybe go on a double date with Jessica and Ashley." Aubrey suggested.
"They're gay?" Chloe asked, surprised.
"They like each other at least." Aubrey shrugged. "Now go get your answers."
"Ok, I will." Chloe took a deep breath and headed after Beca. She had finally caught up to the shorter brunette and was about to reach out and get her attention, when Beca suddenly turned around in mid stride and walked right into Chloe, their lips once again finding each other.
"Sweet bloody Flying Spaghetti Monster how long have you been following me, Beale?" Beca asked, pulling her headphones off as they separated.
"Not long, I was just walking with Aubrey and wanted to see how your date went." Chloe explained, nodding to the blonde in the distance.
"Oh, well, it went ok I suppose." Beca shrugged. "The dance lessons helped, I didn't make a complete fool of myself. But, I don't know, there just wasn't any spark."
"Aww, Beca, I'm so sorry." Chloe said, internally doing a happy dance.
"It didn't help that she spent half the night flirting with this whorish looking floozy of a waitress." Beca shrugged. "Shelia told me they actually left together. Which is fine, she seemed vapid."
"Her loss, she doesn't know how awesome you are." Chloe smiled, lightly punching Beca's arm. "So where are you off to?"
"I have a shift at the radio station." Beca explained. "I forgot I promised Luke I'd bring him coffee from that cart by the humanities building."
"I'll leave you to it then. Sorry again to hear your date didn't go so well." Chloe nodded, starting to walk away. She caught sight of Ashley and Jessica in distance, holding hands and she turned around. "Hey Beca, would you like to go out some time?"
~~~June 24th, 2067~~~
"Good morning, my love." Chloe said as she saw Beca's eyes flutter open. "Happy anniversary."
"I can't believe we've been married 50 years." Beca replied with a sleepy smile. "But you know something I just remembered the other day?"
"What's that?" Chloe asked
"After our first accidental kiss, you said I probably wouldn't be the last girl you kiss." Beca pointed out, before giving a brief kiss to Chloe. "Think you called that one wrong."
"We don't know." Chloe teased. "Something could happen to you and Stacie, and Aubrey and I could end up together."
"Do I have reason to be jealous of President Posen?" Beca asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No more than I do of that girl your stepmother tried to set you up with." Chloe chuckled.
