The bella's were shocked to find out that bee had run off.
Chloe was especially saddened to lose yet another friend who had been with them for such a short time.
Then scratching was heard at the door the bella's perked up cautiously optimistic that bee had come back.
When Chloe flung open the door in bounded bee holding something in her mouth.
After everyone had greeted bee glad she was back they they noticed what bee had.
"What you got there bee"? Chloe said gently taking a USB out of her mouth.
The dog just sat down looking as smug as a dog can with an almost smirk crossing her muzzle.
They plugged the USB into chloe's laptop and clicked on the sound file it contained instantly the opening notes of just the way you are started which the bella's looked confused by until just a dream started as well.
They then started tapping their feet and humming along none of them noticing that bee's tail was wagging exactly to the beat of the song.
When the song finished all the bella's stood in silence looking at each other in confusion.
"Where did it come from" Stacy wondered out loud.
"Maybe someone's boyfriend sent it as a romantic gesture" Emily suggested jumping up and down slightly at the thought of someone being that romantic.
"I don't know about anyone else but I don't know anyone talented enough to produce something as good as that" Cynthia rose said thoughtfully.
"Maybe we could use it for our set list "? Chloe asked hopefully looking at Aubrey who had so far been observing everyone else.
"No absolutely not Chloe" Aubrey finally spoke "it might be a prank by the trebles to get us disqualified".
"You really think they would do something like that"? Jessica asked thoughtfully.
"There the trebles Jessica they will stop at nothing to take us down plus they haven't done anything in awhile they are thinking of something big".
"But don't worry" Chloe said reassuringly to Emily who was looking disturbed by this information.
"Yeah legacy" fat Amy jumped in "it will most likely be Chloe or Aubrey for being the captains or me because I like to antagonize bumper" Amy then winked creepily at Emily who looked even more disturbed than before.
"Well on that note we're done" Aubrey said calling the bella's to attention.
All of the bella's disappeared quickly not wanting to be called into extra rehearsal.
The only people left were Emily and bee . Emily quietly got her homework out taking advantage of the quiet and bee curled up next to her looking strangely disappointed before she went to sleep.
The next noise bee heard was muffled screaming her ears perked up and she looked up to see Emily being dragged out by maroon clad figures.
She leapt up and followed the group making it outside to see them toss Emily in the pool and run away high fiving and snickering.
Bee was going to chase after them until she realised just how much Emily was struggling to get to the surface almost like she couldn't swim…
To be continued…..
Immediately
Bee instantly jumped into the pool grabbing hold of the struggling Emily by the back of her top and dragging her up the steps and out of the pool.
As soon as bee saw that Emily wasn't breathing she started howling an ear splitting howl getting all the bella's attention who quickly ran outside to see what the commotion was.
Flo sprang into action using her cpr training to revive Emily while Chloe dragged bee away to give them space.
As soon as Emily spluttered up the water she had swallowed the bella's gave a collective sigh of relief . then the questions started.
"Who did this to you"?! Chloe rarely got mad but when she did the bella's did not want it directed at them.
"It was the trebles" Emily gasped once she got her breath.
"What"?! Aubrey screeched but even she didn't match the sound of bee's growling.
Bee then took off towards the trebles house Chloe running after her not to stop her but to prevent her from getting into trouble.
The trebles were laughing and slapping each other's backs from a prank well done.
That was until a feral dog burst in through the back door making several of the trebles scream.
Chloe burst in soon after gently taking hold of bee's collar.
"What is the meaning of this"? bumper asked after he had stopped screaming.
"Your little prank today almost killed Emily" Chloe said glaring at the trebles.
"Look Chloe I'm sure we didn't do whatever you think we did" Jesse said placatingly holding his hands up.
"Oh cut the nice guy act Jesse nobody's buying it" Chloe spat her point being proven by bee who clearly didn't trust him and was growling louder as Jesse got closer.
"Look why don't you call the mutt off and we can work this out" bumper said in his usual over confident tone.
"I don't think so bumper" Aubrey cut in from near the door "here's what's going to happen you're going to leave us alone in aca-pella or otherwise".
"And if we don't" Jesse asked in a cocky tone having dropped the act.
"If you don't I'll have my wolf here rip out your vocal chords".
Several of the trebles gulped loudly and clutched their throats but some of them just scoffed that was until bee snarled drool dripping from her fangs which made a very intimidating site and convinced the trebles that Aubrey was serious.
"Well now that is cleared up we will just be going" Aubrey said in a smug tone gently taking hold of bee's collar and leading her from the house Chloe trailing behind in slight shock.
Aubrey crouched in front of bee gently scratching her under the chin. "Thank you bee I think I judged you wrong you are just as protective of the bella's as I am and that is admirable" she then stood up and brushed her clothes off walking swiftly away back to the bella house.
"Wow bee Chloe whispered you managed to get Aubrey to like you and better yet respect you and by the way that display in front of the trebles was pretty badass" she then winked and started heading back to the house bee trotting after her with her tail wagging.
