Prompt from Cody-Riley: The Bellas throw an annual lock-in/sleepover party in the Auditorium of their School, Side Bechloe, Emily freshman friendship. Lights go out, Candles are lit. Staubrey romance, wooing and hilarious Bella antics ensues.
"Remind me why we're doing this again?" Beca groaned as she was pulled into the auditorium with the A Capella group she has spent her school career with.
"Because it's tradition and we don't stray from tradition." Aubrey mentioned curtly, walking ahead of her to flick on the lights.
"Seriously Stace, I don't know what you see in her." Chloe slapped her girlfriend's arm.
"That's my best friend you're talking about."
Stacie rolled her eyes. "She's kind of hot when she's all bossy."
Beca shivered. "Gross."
As the girls set up their sleeping bags the lights started flickering before switching off all together. "Aca-scuse me." Aubrey felt her way over to the switch, flicking it repeatedly.
"Bree, give up. The fuse must have blown." Stacie said as she set out her sleeping bag next to the feisty blonde's...not on purpose or anything.
"Stacie would know all about something being blown." Amy sniggered and soon the other Bellas were in fits of laughter, leaving Emily confused.
"What's that supposed to mean?" She questioned the group. Chloe sighed and rested her hand on the freshman's shoulder, her face barley visible in the darkness.
"Oh, I forgot fresh meat is too innocent. Let me explain..." Amy put her finger to her lips and pretended to think. "...Stacie likes to have a lot of sex."
Emily's eyes widened and she hid her face, good thing it was dark so no one could see her bright red cheeks. "Oh! Right...cool...yeah that's...just Aca-awesome." The girl's laughed again as Lily said something inaudible before digging through her bag and pulling out several candles, lighting them and quickly placing them around the room.
"Just make sure you Aca-lesbians keep it down." Amy rolled onto her back as Aubrey shot her a look. "Sorry. I mean Aca-pan, bi and spaghetti sexuals." Everyone just looked at Amy with total confusion before settling into their sleeping bags. Quiet conversation could be heard around the room, mostly from the shared sleeping bag of Jessica and Ashley...the girl's are still completely unsure of who is who.
"Hey Aubrey, I know that graduation is in like a week but I'm still scared. What if we all lose contact and never see each other again?"
Aubrey sighed and rolled over to face her, bright green eyes shining dimly in the light. "I won't let that happen Stacie." She said surely, definitively and quietly enough that something in Stacie's stomach fluttered before sinking when Aubrey continued. "The Bellas are family."
"What are you most scared of about graduating?"
Aubrey pondered for a minute, biting her lip and Stacie had to look away to compose her thoughts and keep her emotions in check. She had been pining over the blonde since freshman year and she's still not sure the blonde knows it. "Not being good enough for my dad. I've got my acceptance for Yale but what if I'm not good enough? You know?"
Stacie watched Aubrey's fears and insecurities fly across her eyes. "You are good enough. It's not your fault that your father can't see how special you are." Stacie took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a brief moment and only opened them when she felt something next to her. She couldn't look anywhere else except the green eyes staring at her.
"You think I'm special?"
Stacie smiled at the grin that crossed Aubrey's face and the brunette couldn't help it anymore. She reached out and tucked a stray hair behind Aubrey's ear. "I've always thought you were special. You're perfect."
"Psh. Hardly." The blonde chuckled quietly.
"You may not be to everyone, but you are to me."
It was Aubrey's turn to take a deep breath. "I have to confess something. I was kind of jealous of all the people you went out with this year."
Stacie's eyes widened and she swallowed hard as she continued staring at the blonde laying impossibly close to her. Eventually hearing Beca's muffled voice from where her head was tucked into Chloe's neck, right next to Stacie and Aubrey. "Just kiss her already. This shit has been building for years." Chloe giggled and shushed her girlfriend.
"For once the midget's actually right...I think." Aubrey said, suddenly a little unsure.
"Aca-scuse me! That's my girlfriend you're talking about." Chloe laughed.
"Is she right though?" Stacie started to question but was cut off by Aubrey's lips. The two girls savoured the moment although it was short lived when the lights came back on with a thunk.
"Oh M Aca-Gee!" Emily squealed as she caught the two girls, drawing the attention of everyone else in the room. Aubrey pulled back with a blush as the room cheered, even earning an "It's about time!" from Amy.
Lily sauntered back into the room and muttered what sounded like an "It only took a little wire biting." She crawled back into her sleeping bag and Stacie pulled Aubrey back in for another long awaited kiss.
