And chapter 3, starting off from when Beca and Mac get back to their dorm after their shower singing with Chloe.
What the hell do we sing?" I demanded.
"I don't know, but this is a club, lets tryout if we make it then we're on our way to LA." Beca shrugged getting dressed.
"Fine lets go." I sighed giving in. Beca and I listened to everyone sing Since You've Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson.
"Wait there's two more." The red head stated spotting us backstage. "Hi."
"Hello." Beca said. "We didn't know we had to prepare that song."
"That's okay sing any song you'd like."
I saw a cup on the desk in front of Aubrey and the red head and whispered to Beca. "Remember that video?" I pointed to the cup with my eyes.
"May I?" She asked grabbing the cup. Beca handed me the cup "just me and you." She whispered, as we sat criss cross next to each other as I started to tap out the beat. After the second time through she sang. "I Got my ticket for the long way round two bottle a whiskey for the way and i sure would like some sweet company and I'm leavin tomorrow whada' ya say? When I'm gone when I'm gone you're gonna miss me me when I'm gone you're miss me by my hair you're gonna miss me everywhere oh, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone." I tapped out the beat two more times before I started.
"I got my ticket for the long way round the one with the prettiest of views it's got mountains its got rivers its got sights to give ya shivers but it sure would be prettier with you when I'm gone when I'm gone you're gonna miss me when I'm gone you're gonna miss me by my walk you're gonna miss me by my talk oh you're gonna miss me when I'm gone." As I finished my note I finished the beat. The red head was smiling happily but Aubrey looked conflicted. I pulled Beca off stage quickly and back to our dorm. "Beca?" I asked as she hugged me tight.
"I'm so proud, you sang confidently in front of all those people! You did great!"
"You really think so?"
"Defiantly!"
"Thanks. Now what?
"You know I'm not sure. What ever we want I guess." She shrugged turning to her equipment.
"Okay." I nodded pulling out my sketch book. starting on a new drawing of Beca and me at the beach right before we came. I have a photographic memory so I don't need to be constantly looking at a model or picture. A few hours later there was knock at our door, Beca and I stopped mid conversation so I could answer it. "Hello?" I asked as a pillow case was thrown over my head. I ducked grabbed the person's arm and pulled the pillow case off pushing and holding them against the wall. "Oh," I said quietly as I saw that it was the red head.
"Yeah hey, it's Chloe, and she's losing feeling in Her arm and face so could you please let her go?" She asked a bit dazed.
"S-sor-ry." I stuttered letting go, looking at my shoes.
"Hey, it's okay, you didn't know." She lifted my chin to make me look in her eyes.
"Mac?" Beca asked stepping out of the dorm and into the hall.
"Hi, I'm here to kidnap you for a-ca-intonation." Chloe let go of my chin and held up two pillow cases. "Their just for tradition, Aubrey's rules."
"Okay?" Beca said slowly.
"You both made the Bella's so I'm here to take you to Aubrey and the others, who I might add are waiting."
"Okay, put 'em on." I shrugged.
"Oh my God you're talking?" Beca pointed out stupidly.
"Everyone talks." Chloe stated confused.
"I usually don't, to new people mostly." I blushed looking away.
"Understandable." Chloe nodded.
"You really think so?" I asked stunned.
"Totes. My little brother is like that. So I understand, but pillow cases, Aubrey will be pissed if were late."
"Okay let's go."
Chloe lead us through campus and lined us up in a dimly lighted room with other people.
"The sopranos. Jessica, Mary Elise, Lilly. The mezzos. Cynthia Rose, Stacie, Kori. And our altos fat Amy, Denise, Ashley, Beca, and Mackenzie." Aubrey introduced as she and Chloe pulled the pillow cases off our heads. "We shall begin by drinking the blood of the sisters that came before you."
Beca and I looked at each other then Chloe worriedly. "Dude no." We said in unison.
"Don't worry it's Boone's Farm." Chloe winked. After everyone took a sip she walked back to Aubrey. "Now if you'll place your scarves in your right hand." Beca looked around making sure her's was in her correct hand.
"I, sing your name..." Aubrey instructed. With all of us singing at once it was terrible, just awful. "Promise to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of a Bella woman." Every one repeated her. "And I solemnly promise to never have sexual relations with a Treble Maker or may my vocal cords be ripped out by wolves." Again everyone restated, except this time with confused looks on their faces. "You are all Bellas now." everyone except Beca and me screamed with glee, as the lights were turned on.
"I want some more of this." Fat Amy said going for the Boone's Farm.
"We did it." Chloe smiled.
"Did we?" Aubrey looked pained.
Aubrey and Chloe led us through campus to a concrete amphitheater.
"Ladies welcome to a-ca-intonation night. Prepare to soften the beach." Aubrey said, getting weird looks from those who didn't understand the saying.
"I don't know what I'm doing here." I smiled sadly looking at the party.
"Just living the dream. I still can't believe they let my sexy fat ass in." Fat Amy joked.
"Beca! Mackenzie! Becawwww!" It was Jesse from the radio station, who was also car guy.
"Wow." Beca sighed.
"Do my eyes deceive me or are you two Barden Bellas?" He looked buzzed.
"No." Beca denied.
"You're acapella girls there are acapella boys here and were all gonna have acachildren. It's inevitable."
"You're really drunk right now." Beca smiled. "I don't think you're gonna remember any of this."
"I'm not drunk your just blurry."
"You okay? Yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Could you pass a sobriety test right now?"
"Yep."
"Can you stand up straight?" Beca pushed him lightly.
"See how I come right back?" He came back. "And I come right back."
"Right. Wow."
"Can I get you two a drink?"
"Sounds great."
"I'm gonna get you a drink, you need to get onto this level."
Aubrey looked over seeing Beca and Jesse's conversation, and looked a little mad. Not good.
"Please be careful." Beca told him.
Then Chloe came up. "Hi." She pulled Beca and me really close to her. "I'm so glad that I met you two. I think we're gonna be really fast friends."
"Well, you saw me naked so..." I winked.
"All right. I'm gonna go get a drink. This ginger needs her jiggle juice." She wiggled her butt, slapped it, snapped then walked away. "See ya later."
"Make good choices." I said lamely. Then that Jake guy, no Justin started playing some Andy Grammer song. Then Mary Elise and Beca started talking as everyone went to dance. I looked over to see Fat Amy talking with some guy in the same color sweatshirt as Jesse, then she said something about doing crystal meth, what? Then Jesse came back with the drinks.
"I don't know the words but i can." He sang.
"Thank you." Beca and I accepted the cups. I put mine down not taking a drink.
"This is awesome." Jesse looked around.
"It's defiantly something." Beca shrugged.
"We are the kings of campus!" Jesse yelled. Beca and I looked around awkwardly.
"I'm going back to the dorm Bec. I'll see ya later okay?" I asked getting up.
"Yeah, I'll get drunk Jesse to his dorm, then see ya there." Beca grabbed Jesse's arm "come on, time to leave the party."
"But I don't want to go." Jesse whined as Beca pulled him away.
