Hey so I just realized I haven't updated this in a while. I also just realized this is mostly just Staubrey. And I like that. A lot. It's way better than Bechloe anyway :P Lol jk, all ships are equal. *Sigh* Yes, even straight cisgendered ones… I also realized that I could've just made this a story and not a show but the way I order the plot lines and stuff makes me feel like it's Degrassi and it motivates me that way.
And lastly, since this is a show a lot of characters will have their own plotlines, but mostly just the main characters on PP.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pitch Perfect.

"I can't believe it didn't work." Jesse mumbled. He was at home, it was Saturday night and he was still grieving. He lost his girl and couldn't even get her back, it was nothing like the movies.
"It's alright, I'm sure there's other girls out there." Benji said, patting his friend's back.
"I don't think so man." Jesse turned to face Benji. "She was so… perfect."
"Was she? Or was it an illusion because you were dating her and just needed someone, anyone truly."
"Shit." Jesse gaped at the realization.
"Well, now that you've realized your mistakes, I've got a date with Ashley."
"Really dude? Congrats!" Jesse fist bumped Benji, Benji had liked Ashley since middle school and now he finally had the chance.
"Yeah, but it's a double date, me, her and her friend Jessica. But Jessica doesn't have a date but we need her so it's not super awkward. Come with me? It will help you get over Beca faster." Benji pleaded with his friend.
After a minute Jesse gave in. "Sure, why not."
"Yes! Thanks dude."
XxxxxxX
"Beca, I'm getting no where with Aubrey. I'm being… Friendzoned!" Stacie basically shouted while her and Beca were in the library.
"First of all, we're in a library, so be quiet. Second of all, the 'friendzone' isn't a real thing. It's only something guys use to make girls feel bad about not dating them."
"Okay, but I'm not a guy so it's okay."
"That's not how that works at all." Beca rolled her eyes at Stacie. She just never gave up.
"Oh my god, I got it. I'll get video evidence of Luke cheating on her! Then I'll send it to her anonymously so she doesn't know it's me, she'll break up with him and then I can date her!" Stacie exclaimed.
"No Stacie, bad idea." Beca tried to stop her but Stacie was already out of the library by the time she finished. "Shit."
Beca got out her phone and texted Chloe, she had to help before Stacie messed everything up and Aubrey would never be able to stand up to her dad on her own.
Hey, so Stacie just ran out of the library to get evidence that Luke's cheating on Aubrey, on a scale of one to ten how hard should I try to stop her?
In about a minute she got her answer.
Not good, NOT GOOD. Aubrey would not take too kindly to her trying to mess up her relationship. IT'S A TEN!
Beca quickly got up and ran out of the room to her friend, but she had no idea which direction she went. "Crap…" Beca muttered.
*theme song, just picture Beca with Jesse but then Chloe comes over causing Beca to smile some love sick grin and Jesse gets mad which pans to Stacie drooling all over Aubrey who then walks off with Luke, and Fat Amy comes with cake to cheer her up, and then Donald and Lilly talking when Bumper comes along and takes him away, which pans to the Bella's all together in a group and trebles all in a group facing each other with crossed arms with titanium playing in the background*
That same day at school Benji approached Ashley and Jessica at lunch. "Hey." Benji said as he grew closer and Ashley looked at him and immediately smiled.
"Hi," Ashley said, causing Benji to grin.
"So, I talked to Jesse on Friday and he will be accompanying us on our date for Jessica." Jessica immediately sprung up from the book she was reading, a toothy grin sprouting on her face.
"That's great!" Ashley added.
"Yep! Now that he's single, he and Jessica can totally be my OTP."
Jessica grinned wider at the prospect and nodded. "I've always liked him."
XxxxxxX
"So he just broke up with you? Just like that?" Chloe asked Beca, playing with her hair.
"Yeah, apparently since I'm bisexual, I'm gonna eventually cheat on him."
"Well, that's terrible! I'm bi and you don't see me going around and sleeping with everyone!" Chloe shouted.
Beca just shrugged, obviously not wanting to discuss Chloe's sexuality. She still didn't know if her and the redhead could work, so she just tried to ignore it. "Wait, aren't we supposed to be stopping Stacie?"
"SHIT!" Chloe yelled, jumping out of her bed and down the stairs, Beca following closely by. "We have to stop her before she shows Aubrey the tape! Where is she?"
"Um… Well… Where does Luke usually go with girls?" Beca asked.
Chloe thought for a moment, then grinned. "Just get in my car and I'll drive us there."
Five minutes later they parked outside the Milkshake Place, a small restaurant the kids in the town went to on their first dates… And apparently Luke still went because he didn't like to spend money. There they saw Stacie while they spied through the window. She had a video camera and was sitting in a slightly enclosed booth, getting good shots of Luke being touchy-feely with the girl he was with.
"I think she's from out of town." Beca whispered. "I think she would've known about Luke's relationship with Aubrey if she wasn't."
"Makes sense. Now come on, we have to stop Stacie." They entered in, Luke not noticing them, then rushed to Stacie's booth and sitting down.
"What do you guys want?" Stacie hissed.
Beca sighed and shook her head. "Listen, Chloe here tells me Aubrey would hate if you tried to break her and Luke up. She has to do this on her own and you can't push them. That's like me pushing Chloe to break up with Tom so I can date her." Beca's eyes went wide. Shit, she thought. I blew my own cover!
"What?" Chloe asked, a slight smile.
"Uh, um… It was a metaphor." she sputtered out.
"Actually…" Stacie started, causing Beca's head to whip toward her. "It's a simile." She finished, smirking.
"Oh." Chloe looked slightly disappointed, but Beca shook it off.
"So yeah, Stacie, don't do this."
The tall brunette sighed. "Fine."
"Good." Beca patted her on her back after standing up. "Good luck with Aubrey though." After Beca and Chloe left, Stacie looked down.
"Damnit." She mumbled.
*Commercial Break one*
Jesse had to say, the date had been going pretty well so far. Ashley and Benji were hitting it off like he always knew they would, and him and Jessica had more in common then him and Beca ever did.
Benji stopped mid-conversation though, eyes wide.
"What's wrong?" Ashley asked him.
"What… What is Jessica and Jesse's ship name supposed to be? Their names are almost identical! Oh god… Not good…" He mumbled the last parts, everyone laughing.
"Why don't we just use our last names? Mine is Smith. Swith, Smanson." Jessica suggested.
"Swith. Sounds like Sith. Sounds great to me!" Jesse agreed, him and Benji laughing.
At the end of the date Jesse dropped Jessica off at her door stop. No way! he thought, We're gonna kiss on her door step! Like.. in the movies! This is way better than dating Beca. And that's exactly what happened. Skipping- Wait, not skipping. He's too manly to skip. Guys don't skip. Stupid fragile masculinity… After running back to the car, no doubt mesmerized, he got in and buckled up. "Best. Date. Ever!" He yelled. Benji agreed quickly and they drove back to his house for another Star Wars movie marathon. Jesse's life was finally looking up for him.
XxxxxxX
The next day at school, Stacie ran to Aubrey's locker, catching her there a few minutes before the bell so they could actually have a conversation. "Aubrey," she panted. "I'm sorry. I just… I don't want you to be in a relationship with Luke if he'll hurt you. You deserve the best."
Aubrey looked at her questioningly. "Why? We barely know each other, we literally just started talking this year, why do you care?"
Stacie thought about it for a second. How could she explain it without revealin- "I have a crush on you." Oh wow, that was literally the opposite of what you were supposed to do, she mentally scolded herself.
"What?" Aubrey basically shouted, eyes wide.
"Sorry." Stacie sighed. "It actually was not supposed to come out yet, not until I wooed you or whatever but yeah.. Guess it's out. Surprise?" She finished with self doubt.
"Well Stacie this has been a great chat but I have to um… Go anywhere else." Aubrey stated lamely and rushed off towards the girls bathroom, hand over her mouth.
Stacie walked down the hall, head down. Bumping into someone, she finally looked up finding Beca.
"What's wrong?" Beca asked, feeling a little bad for her friend. Something had to have happened, something bad for Stacie to look so.. Unconfident.
"Let's just say rehearsals are going to be a bit… Awkward. And maybe Aubrey will no longer help me with my routine because that requires.. Touching. And eye contact. And speaking."
Beca looked at her, eyebrows furrowed, then gasped. "You told her? That wasn't supposed to come out before she broke it off with Luke!"
"I know…" Stacie cringed hearing her broken voice. "It just came out. And she rejected me. Kind of… She just kinda walked away. Like it meant nothing and it's just weird or something."
"I'm sorry dude." Beca frowned. It was way too early. Damnit Aubrey, why can't you just stick up to your dad? NO one hurts my best friend!
XxxxxxX
It was second period when Chloe got the news. From Aubrey.
"You did what!" she yelled.
"Not so loud!" Aubrey whispered. "Yes, I rejected her. I can't date her, think about what my dad would say! He would disown me! I can only be friends with girls Chloe! If the word 'girl' goes after it, then there's a problem!"
Chloe just stared at her, disbelieving. "So you're friendzoning her?" Chloe slowly stated.
"Well- no, I mean." Aubrey sighed. "Yes, technically yes, for lack of a better term."
"Ugh." Chloe shook her head, taking out her phone.
Aubrey just admitted to friendzoning Stacie.
Oh god. Oh great, now Stacie just read the text. Now she'll mope even more.
I feel so bad, she doesn't deserve this. The Staubrey ship was never supposed to sink.
We just have to let it be I guess.
Oh you did not just quote John Lennon.
Oh yes I just did :)
"Wow Beca you and Chloe should get a room." Stacie smirked, Beca turning red.
"Shut up."
"So when are you going to tell Chloe about your raging toner?" Stacie asked.
"My… My what?"
"Toner. Musical boner. It's like you haven't learned a thing from- Well, ya know." Stacie finished, sadly looking down.
"It's alright dude, you'll win the girl one day.
"I hope." Stacie whispered back.
XxxxxxxX
"Welcome to the Riff-off!" Justin yelled, again, which was honestly driving everyone nuts. "Let's get right to it!" he took the spinner out of his pocket, shining it at the nearest wall. "Category is… Friendzone!" he shouted, Stacie and Beca's eyes growing wide. It's amazing how these always have to do with our problems… Beca thought to herself. Before Stacie could run in though, someone had already started singing.
The Harmonics came in with a Meghan Trainor song to mosts surprise, which was already half acapella to their advantage.
If you want my love
You gotta do what it does
if you want these sweet like sugar gucci lips
You gotta give it up
I know you think I'm cool
but I ain't one of the boys
No don't be 'fraid that I'm
Stacie cut them off, this category helping in what she had to say to Aubrey, so she looked at her for most of the song. She of course shuffled slightly uncomfortably through the chorus, hoping Aubrey would understand.
I'm in the friendzone
I'm in the friendzone
I'm in the friendzone
Now I'm in the friendzone.
The rest of the Bella's joined in, adding to the harmony, while Beca came in for the rap looking at Chloe.
I've got the blues
'cause we're not knockin' the boots
we're talkin' gossip news and shoppin' for shoes
I hate when you make me-
Jesse came into the center to cut them off.
about me
'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
I'm-
Aubrey started singing and all, including Beca, were surprised she knew a Taylor Swift song
I'm in my room it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do
but she wears short skirts I wear t-shirts
She's-
Benji cut it, fist bumping Jesse, they assumed no one else had any songs left based on the small amount of friendzoned songs. Ashley of course swooned causing an eyeroll from Aubrey. Why do they always fall for Treble Makers?
She's just the girl I'm looking for
The way she see's it's me
on her caller ID
She won't pick up the phone
She'd rather be alone
But I can't give up just yet
Cause every word she's-
Stacie got an idea and at the right moment came in to cut them off.
She's looking through me
If you were me then you'd be
Screaming someone shoot me
As I fail miserably
trying to get the girl all the bad guys want
She turned to Aubrey, the bad guy was clearly Luke and Aubrey knew it too.
Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want
Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want
Cause she's the girl all the bad guys want
And she's the girl all the bad guys want!
When they finished, Justin came over. "Congrats again, ladies. You've won the Riff-off once more!"
They cheered as Beca watched Stacie and Aubrey have a staring match, which was mostly Stacie looking a mix of sadness and hope while Aubrey looked like she might throw up. "I'm sorry," the blonde whispered. "I can't break up with him."
Stacie's demeanor changed, she slouched and her eyes grew weary as she hung her head and walked off, Chloe slapping Aubrey on the arm and whispering "She's all you've ever wanted! Needed! Now this? Stand up to your dad and get the girl!"
"No Chloe, I can't. She's just another girl." Aubrey argued.
"I can't believe you." Chloe looked irritated and walked off, leaving Aubrey alone with her thoughts.
Wow, it's been a while. I had just been reading the other chapter 'cause I'll literally read anything you put in my face and wow? I left it like that? Jeez, I probably won't finish it but whatever, here's another chapter just because. And maybe I'll finish another chapter of When the Sky Turns Red, but I've never been on a date so I don't know how to write one for Mitchsen so I may just make it a Chacie chapter while Fat Amy just documents them so she can write them well for her fanfiction. idk.
