A/N: Again we take the basic ingredients of the movie, and present them in a slightly different manner. We try to match a lot of the dialogue, but it doesn't always fit, and sometimes is forgotten.

BeChloeIsLegit and RJRMovieFan do not own Pitch Perfect or any of their characters.

Please Review, we really appreciate them.


Pitch Perfect 3: Bechloe is Legit

Chapter 4 - Bellas Sing Again?

o0o

Beca's phone pings just as she's grabbing her bag and jacket.

"Hey," Beca calls out to Chloe. "Amy says she'll meet us at the aquarium."

"Okay," Chloe replies excitedly. "Are you ready?" The redhead checks her phone. "Our Uber is downstairs!" Anticipation is vibrating through her voice.

"Yeah," Beca answers, her voice laced with resignation. "Let's go." She can't believe she's back in the 'stewardess' uniform.

Chloe chooses to ignore her best friend's reluctance as she links her arm with Beca's and they leave the apartment. They head downstairs, Beca having to work to keep up with her energetic best friend. "You're like a third grader who ate all their Halloween candy in one sitting, and is on a super sugar rush," says Beca as she's tugged along by Chloe.

"I'm just so excited Becs! We're going to see our friends, all together for the first time in three years," responds Chloe as she steps out onto the sidewalk. She sees the Uber and pulls Beca towards it. "And we're going to SING, Becs; TOGETHER!"

For her part, Beca had learned a long time ago, just relax her muscles, and allow herself to be pulled along by her crazy best friend; otherwise she might have her arm yanked out of its socket. When the redhead's excited, it's best just to go along with the ride.

The two women jump into their Uber. Chloe excitedly telling the driver to take them to the Brooklyn Aquarium. She chats with the driver in typical Beale fashion, which causes Beca to roll her eyes; though she wouldn't have it any other way.

Unfortunately for Beca her eyes land on Chloe's legs when they come to a stop. The redhead's skirt having ridden up, and Beca can see her friend has dressed in very sexy thigh-highs. Beca swallows audibly and her heart hammers at the slight suggestion of lace.

"You're staring." Chloe doesn't even look as she settles back in her seat, nor does she straighten her skirt. Beca's eyes snap forward so fast it hurts. With a giggle, Chloe snuggles into Beca's side, her body actually vibrating against the petite brunette's.

Beca decides the best strategy is to deflect, sarcastically asking, "Excited?"

"Aren't you, Becs?" Chloe asks, her excitement tempered by her best friend's apparent lack of.

"Yes, no, maybe…" Beca cringe grins.

"Don't let today's events get you down. It's all going to work out." Chloe assures her friend. "And we're going to sing together." Chloe hugs Beca tight against her. "It'll also be great to catch up with the Bellas. Flo is going to be there."

"How is that oddball doing?" Beca asks, "I actually miss her stories about life in Guatemala. They're almost as crazy as Fat Amy's."

"She's good. You know about the Juice Truck right?" Beca nods affirmatively, and Chloe continues, "So that's going well for her, she feels she's hit at just the right time. And I spoke with Ashley today…"

"How is that crazy blonde doing?" Beca interjects.

"Still a brunette, but her best friend and partner, Jessica, is still a blonde." Beca cringes, though Chloe never misses a beat. "She says her and Jessica's wedding planning business is going well."

"Is CR going to make it?" There's genuine enthusiasm in Beca's voice as she asks.

"Yep, her and her wife Denise," nods Chloe, and she relaxes, knowing Beca's getting into the spirit of the evening. She updates Beca with everything she knows from texting and group chats with the Bellas. Bringing her best friend up-to-speed.

"And we're going to SING TOGETHER!," Chloe shouts as they pull up to the entrance of the Brooklyn Aquarium.

o0o

As they enter the aquarium through the main entrance, Chloe again takes the lead, pulling Beca along. Her fingers laced with Beca's, she guides their way through the crowds, to the room where the designated meeting spot is.

Immediately upon entering the room they start searching the crowd for the other Bellas, but it's hard not to stare at the impressive underwater displays. The space is dark, with the feel of being deep beneath the surface.

"Holy shit! Chlo, that's one huge aquarium!," Beca exclaims, eyes widening at the sight.

The corners of Chloe's lips inch up and her eyes shine as she smiles, happy to see her best friend's eyes alight with joy and wonder as they take in the sights of the underwater habitats surrounding them. Blue light from the massive tanks reflects off of their faces and shadows cast over them as the multitude of fish, including massive shark whales, swim by.

"Interesting location," Beca says, taking in all the surroundings, there is genuine awe in her voice. A large helium filled fish balloon passes just overhead. "How did the Bellas get booked into a venue like this?"

"Skyler," Chloe answers, "Emily's co-Captain, she has an in. It's part of Emily's strategy for expanding the Bellas appeal."

The two friends run into their roommate Fat Amy first. She studies them with a questioning look, "About time you two showed up. I've been waiting forever."

"Didn't I just watch you enter the aquarium, after us?," Becs asks the blonde Aussie, with a bit of snark.

"Completely besides the point, Shawshank. I need to know why you two were late." The boisterous blonde lifts her eyebrows suggestively. "Were you two havin' a naughty while I was working?"

"A what?" Chloe asks confused.

Beca having roomed with Fat Amy during college and having been asked the same question concerning time spent with Jesse, freezes in shock. "Jesus Amy! We were NOT…" The brunette pauses, dropping her voice into a whisper, "not having sex."

"Oh, that's a waste of an empty apartment, don't you think?," Fat Amy asks in all seriousness.

Chloe can't hear the conversation Beca and Fat Amy are now having due to the crowd noise.

"What?"

"Nothing," assures Beca. "Let's continue the search."

"There's Bree!" Chloe squeals and points.

"Chloe!" Aubrey squeals back.

"What's up, Pitches?," Amy hollers as she turns and sees Lily, Aubrey, and Stacie. The Aussie's shout gets the attention of Cynthia Rose and her wife Denise who come from one side, while Flo, Jessica, and Ashley come from the other. The women are all dressed up in their 'airline stewardess' Bella's uniforms, so they make quite a sight as they converge and hug each other in greeting. Beca, however, is so happy to be with her friends from college, she finds she doesn't care.

"Hey, girls! Oh My God! I've missed you," Chloe says pulling out of a hug with Aubrey. "And, Stacie! Oh, my gosh, look at you."

Chloe lifts her hand in silent question, and at the tall brunette's nod, places her hand on Stacie's pregnant belly with a huge smile. Stacie smiles back, saying, "Six and half months and counting." Chloe engulfs the brunette in a warm but gentle hug.

"Stacie's pregnant?," Amy asks incredulously. "Why didn't anybody tell me."

"I did," Chloe answers immediately.

Fat Amy makes a face, "I'm never quite sure what to believe from a ginger."

Stacie interjects, "Amy, I sent you a picture of me in my pregnancy pants. What did you think was going on?"

Fat Amy shrugs, "I just thought you was gaining weight to try and keep up with my sexy fat ass. Plus, those type of pants are quite comfortable. I got myself like three pairs now."

Stacie rolls her eyes along with Beca. Chloe looks over and sees a familiar face leading a collection of young women, uniformly dressed in golden bowling jackets towards them.

"Hey, Bellas," Emily calls out with a huge smile. The current Bella's captain looks to her left and right, at all her teammates, who are all just beaming. The pride in her team is quite evident as her Bellas form up around her. They have quite the look; their golden jackets, sparkly shirts, and short black skirts, offers an interesting mix of sexy innocence. Chloe finds herself jealous of their uniforms.

"Hi," says Beca in return, and the rest of the Bellas follow suit.

"Thanks so much for inviting us," Aubrey says.

"Of course," Emily says.

"So, what did you want us to sing tonight? Your invitation was vague as to that. A little 'Who Runs The World' or 'Bulletproof'," Chloe asks as she digs through her bag. "I, uh, I brought this just in case."

Beca sees Chloe is holding up a plastic cup and immediately smacks it out of her hand. Chloe gives a little "hmmph" and looks at Emily.

"Oh, God," Emily says and looks a little alarmed.

"Our voices are warm," Chloe says and signals the girls who all "Ahhhh" in perfect harmony.

"We, um, didn't invite you guys to sing," Emily's co-Captain Skyler says. "We invited you guys to-"

'Watch us sing," Emily and Skyler finish simultaneously.

"Aca-scuse me," Aubrey says indignantly.

Fat Amy leans over to Beca and stage whispers, "Wow! Fired twice in one day." Beca responds with a face that says, 'shut it'.

"Well, I just thought you guys were so busy with your awesome jobs and amazing lives," Emily tries to explain.

There is a momentary pause as they all let what Emily said sink in.

"I am, I have one of those," Beca says as images flash through her head of Pimp Lo, and telling her boss she quits. "We are."

"We are, we do," agee's Aubrey, even as memories of working day-in, and day-out at the lodge over the last nine months cascade through her head.

"Umm, yeah, we do…" Ashley and Jessica say in unison. Each picturing a litany of Bridezillas; the exact same ones, in the exact same order.

"Oh yeah, totally," Stacie keeps seeing the pregnancy test with a plus sign, and her setting it down next to the other five tests.

Flo only nods, she's picturing overly made-up white women who often frequent her truck, and often seem to be judging her.

"Oh yeah," agrees Fat Amy, she's picturing herself in her 'Fat Amy Winehouse' garb, performing on the street corner in Times Square, which makes her smile, until she remembers getting roused by the police.

"Yeah, I have one of those," Chloe mumbles as she remembers a particularly dreadful Parents/Teacher night.

An uncomfortable silence descends between the two generations of Bellas. "Umm…" Emily finally breaks the tension; awkwardly, "So, Yeah, uh…" she nods her head back towards the large viewing area. "We have to…"

Beca and Chloe both say "Oh, yeah! You go." The rest of the Bellas nod and chorus similar sentiments. A look of relief washes across the faces of the Bellas next generation, as they again follow their Senior Captain.

Beca, Chloe, and the rest of their Bellas all exchange looks of embarrassment, before they follow the 'new' Bellas towards the main viewing area of the aquarium. Fat Amy in frustration punches a floating balloon in the shape of a swordfish.

The area the Bellas are led to was designed and setup as an amphitheater, with tiered floors to allow the most visitors a clear and unobstructed view of the aquatic habitat. It's perfect for a small concert, the acoustics are excellent. The older Bellas all gather around on the fourth tier, and off to the side; it's the closest they can get as the amphitheater is packed.

They watch as the 'new' Bellas take their positions in front of a huge display window to the indoor aquatic habitat. The water seems to glow with a soft blue light, offering a beautiful backlight for the new Bellas.

Over the public announcement system they hear, "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Brooklyn Aquarium is proud to have the current collegiate national champion acapella team, the Barden Bellas, performing today in the main viewing room. Put your hands together and welcome the BARDEN BELLAS!"

There's a pause after the applause dies down. Each girl remains perfectly still, which is accentuated by the fact that the aquatic creatures behind them continue to move. It's quite a contrast, the young Bellas dressed in gold and black, the aqua-green of the watery environment and the multitude of colorful aquatic life swimming lazily behind the young women

On Emily's signal the young Bellas start singing and performing their routine to Daya's 'Sit Still, Look Pretty'. Emily takes the lead with the first solo.

Could dress up
To get love
But guess what?
I'm never gonna be that girl
Who's living in a Barbie world

The Bellas all watch somewhat envious of how good the younger Bellas are as they perform together in perfect synchronization. Skyler starts the next verse.

Could wake up
And make up
And play dumb
Pretending that I need a boy
Who's gonna treat me like a toy

The young Barden Bellas, perform perfectly before the packed audience.

I know the other girlies wanna wear expensive things
Like diamond rings
But I don't wanna be the puppet that you're playing on a string
This queen don't need a king

They have energy and enthusiasm, something the older Bellas are extremely lacking at this moment.

Oh, I don't know what you've been told
But this gal right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
You get off on your nine to five
Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be 'cause I don't wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still look pretty

"They're all so bright and shiny," Flo says with a sad smile.

Mister Right could be nice for one night
But then he wanna take control
And I would rather fly solo
Then Snow White
She did it right
In her life
Had seven men to do the chores
'Cause that's not what a lady's for

"The look like they was all breastfed," Cynthia Rose says causing Beca to throw her a confused look.

The only thing a boy's gonna give a girl for free's captivity
And I might love me some vanilla but I'm not that sugar sweet
Call me HBIC

"I bet they all feel like they're on top of the world," Chloe says wistfully. There's a slight catch in her voice, and she feels like she could breakdown any moment.

Oh, I don't know what you've been told
But this gal right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be, because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
You get off on your nine to five
Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be, 'cause I don't wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still look pretty

Beca glances over at her best friend. Chloe's eyes are wet with potential tears, and she just looks heartbroken. Beca's stomach twists into a knot; she hates seeing a sad Chloe. Truth be told though, it was a gut punch to find out she wouldn't be singing with the Bellas.

Sure, I'm a pretty girl
Up in a pretty world
But they say pretty hurts
And I don't wanna sit still
I'm a pretty girl
Up in a pretty world
But no, I won't sit still, look pretty

Now watching these younger girls put on such an amazing performance, Beca finds she truly misses performing.

Oh, I don't know what you've been told
But this gal right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah, that is where I'm gonna be because I wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still, look pretty
You get off on your nine to five
Dream of picket fences and trophy wives
But no, I'm never gonna be 'cause I don't wanna be
No, I don't wanna sit still look pretty

The song comes to an end and the crowd starts applauding loudly before they are even finished.

Sit still, look pretty
Sit still, look pretty
Sit still, look pretty
Sit still, look pretty

Emily looks up at the older Bellas with a big smile, but she senses that the her former team are forcing their smiles. Even from this distance she can see the smiles don't reach their eyes. She doesn't have a chance to dwell on it though as she and her current team start up their next number. They are performing six songs in total.

Mary Jean, a sophomore who Emily is considering recommending as Skyler's co-Captain next year, starts with the opening lines to the Chainsmoker's 'Don't Let Me Down'.

Crashing, hit a wall
Right now I need a miracle
Hurry up now, I need a miracle
Stranded, reaching out
I call your name but you're not around
I say your name but you're not around

It hits Emily that this is her last year as a Bella, unless she decides to take Russian Lit. She smiles at Chloe, and seeing the not so bright smile Chloe gives her back, she realizes what it must feel like for her friends being up there and not down here performing.

I need you, I need you, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
D-Don't let me down
Don't let me down

Emily can't imagine what it will be like to give up this feeling. She knows deep down she's going to have to apologize profusely and make it up to her friends.

o0o

The younger Bellas are still going strong with the energy of youth in their sixth song as in their first.

I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive
I'm free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest
The greatest, the greatest alive (don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, no no no)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, no no no)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, no no no)

The audience is cheering and applauding even louder as the Bellas finish their sixth and final song.

The greatest, the greatest alive (don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, no no no)
The greatest, the greatest alive (don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, no no no)
The greatest, the greatest alive (I got stamina)
The greatest, the greatest alive (I got stamina)
The greatest, the greatest alive (I got stamina)

The older Bellas actually wince at the noise of the crowd. "I could use a drink," Chloe says to her Bellas as the music ends.

"Yeah, I need some of those," Beca seconds. They watch as the younger Bellas are swarmed by the audience; people wanting to get pictures and autographs.

The rest of the girls all agree and Chloe links her arm with Beca's and they head out of the aquarium, going against the tide of the crowd who are headed towards the young Bellas. Aubrey puts her arm around Stacie's shoulder, helping to shield the young woman, she gently pulls her along with the rest of them.

So despondent are the Bellas, they don't notice John and Gail surreptitiously videoing them.

They head to a bar Fat Amy recommends, that's about a block away from the aquarium. Chloe texts the name and address to Emily as they enter.

Luck is on their side, and they are able to occupy an entire end of the bar. The sit heavily on the stools, and begin ordering drinks.

Lily rises from behind the bar and hands Stacie a drink, and then starts making another. The bartenders don't seem to notice her.

"Stacie!," Aubrey says as she notices the tall brunette taking a drink. "What are you doing? You can't drink, you're pregnant."

"It's just an orange juice mixed with cranberry juice and sprite," Stacie replies holding up her glass. "But, thanks for watching out for me."

"It's what I do," Aubrey replies with a smile.

"I'm so glad you could make it," Stacie says earnestly.

"My first day-off since Christmas," Aubrey concedes.

"Wait, what?" Beca asks, turning from Flo. "What did you just say?"

Aubrey pulls one corner of her mouth up, into something between a grimace and an apologetic half-smile. "This is my first day-off from the lodge since Christmas day."

"I didn't realize it was that bad, Bree," concedes Stacie, remorse clearly showing.

"You get weekends off right?" Beca asks, a bit of desperation in her voice.

"Hey Stace, don't feel bad. I didn't tell anyone." Aubrey places a hand on Stacie's and give a light reassuring squeeze. "And no, Beca, weekends are our busiest time."

"How is that possible?"

"Well we've been super successful, and my bosses have wanted to expand the lodge, plus we opened a second in North Carolina, and just broke ground on a third in Tennessee."

Aubrey sighs as Lily hands her a Manhattan, "My bosses say I'm a huge reason why, and so they keep assigning me projects to get things up and running." The blonde takes a sip, smiles thoughtfully at the quiet Korean woman, then holds up her hands in air quotes. "My 'organizing and managing skills' are a step above, and par excellence."

"Who knew your 'aca-Nazi tendencies would be so useful in the real world, General," interjects Fat Amy, holding up a large mug of beer.

"Amy, where did you get that mug? It's twice the size of any other mug," Beca asks the Aussie.

"Oh I brought me own. They're quite stingy with their serving sizes here," Amy says matter-a-factly. "Besides they don't charge you if you bring your own mug."

"Yes they do," exclaims Beca.

"That's not how it works, Amy," adds Aubrey.

Fat Amy shrugs, "Lily hasn't charged me yet."

"I don't think Lily works here," replies Beca.

"She does make a mean Cosmopolitan though," says Flo holding up her drink.

Chloe mirrors the motion and lets out a "Whoo!" She's definitely feeling her liquor.

Beca finds a Cosmopolitan being thrust into her hand by Lily, before the silent Bella sinks from view. Beca takes a sip, loves the flavors, shrugs and decides to let it go. "So Stacie, is the father going to play a role?"

Stacie shrugs her shoulders, "I don't know, and frankly I hope not."

This gets Beca's attention, "Why not?"

Stacie contemplated her answer for a heartbeat and then answers, "I want someone in my life I know I can count on."

"You said it, girl," says Chloe loudly. She's definitely feeling her liquor.

Stacie continues as she nods to the redhead, "I don't need anyone. But I want someone who wants to be there for me and my baby girl."

Beca notes Aubrey's skin takes on a shade of pink.

"You're amazing Stacie," Chloe says, pointing a finger at the tall brunette. "You hold out for someone special!" Chloe's finger ends up pointing at Beca. The redhead's eyes widen in surprise. She quickly pulls back her hand, grabbing her Cosmopolitan and downing it in one gulp. Lily appears with a replacement drink immediately.

"I'm SO SORRY guys," exclaims Emily as she flies through the door and into the bar. Her hair is still up, but she's changed out of the new Bella's uniform. "Thinking back, I shouldn't have said reunion in the invite. I should have said it was a chance to meet."

"It's okay, Emily," says Chloe, trying to put on a cheerful expression. The rest of the Bellas make half-hearted sounds of agreement.

Looking for the silver lining, Chloe adds, "It was a chance for us to see each other. To see what the new crop of Bellas can do." Again the Bellas make half-hearted noises of agreement.

"I missed my brother's wedding to be here," says Flo. She shrugs, "This is nice too."

Emily just deflates at the response she gets. "I'm sorry. But, uh, what did you guys think?," Emily asks with a nervous smile.

"It was great," the girls say back. "You all were great."

Emily hesitates, she's definitely feeling her friend's disappointment. Beca notes that the younger woman is becoming dispirited. She jumps in, "You and your Bellas are phenomenal."

Chloe picks up on Beca's cue, and adds, "It's true Legacy, you've done an extraordinary job."

Emily smiles and takes the spot next to Chloe. She looks around at all the Bellas and back to Chloe. She furrows her brow.

"Chloe, are you drunk already?," Emily asks seeing Chloe's glassy eyes and somewhat dopey look. Lily hands the redhead another martini glass.

"That might have something to do with the bottle of wine we drank before coming to see you," Beca says. "And the two of those she's had since we got here."

"Oh," Emily said. "So, um, Chloe. How's the teaching going?"

"Fine," Chloe says. "I'm just substituting right now. Hoping to become full time next school year."

"Hey, Emily," Amy calls from across the bar. "I bet you I can tie a knot in this cherry stem using just my tongue."

"Don't take that bet," Chloe says quickly grabbing Emily's arm. "Never take a Fat Amy bet or you'll find yourself with your hand up a cow's ass if you lose." The redhead visibly shudders.

"What?" Emily asks, not sure if she heard right.

"Or having to visit every Irish Pub in Brooklyn on St. Patrick's day, dressed as a Leprechaun," adds Beca before swallowing the last of her drink. She too shudders.

"WHAT!?," Emily says throwing Chloe and Beca a very confused look before glancing over at Amy, who just gives her a nod and a smirk.

Lifting her glass, Chloe calls for attention. "I just want to say, you are the greatest group of women I have ever met." A small sob escapes her throat as she continues, "I would do anything to sing with you girls again," Chloe says teary eyed. The Bellas hold up their glasses for the toast, and wince as Chloe sobs one more "Anything!"

"Hey! I have a radical idea," Aubrey declares, sitting straighter on her seat. The Bellas all look at the former captain expectantly. Aubrey continues, "Well, you know the USO does these tours of musical acts to entertain the troops every year." The Bellas all shrug, before saying, "Yeah…"

"And you know how I've told you my father is an officer in the army, and basically killed Osama Bin Laden?" The Bellas look around even more unsure, tentatively saying, "Uh, yeah?"

Aubrey however is on a roll, excited by her idea even as it's still forming. "I know he can make the right calls and get us onto one of those shows as a musical act."

There's silence for a heartbeat as the Bellas all take in what has just been proposed. It's Chloe who puts it together first. "So we would be singing together in a music competition?"

Her longtime blonde friend hesitates, "Umm, I don't know about a competition, but we would all get the chance to sing together. And, maybe, you know, be seen by one's father." There's a bit of desperation in Aubrey's tone.

Chloe jumps in, "I'm in." She holds up her glass, "Who's with us?"

Beca raises her glass, causing Chloe's smile to double in wattage, and says, "Well, I have time now."

Cynthia Rose talks up, "Since I failed my flight simulator test, thanks to outside interference, I got nothing but time. Kill three hundred fake people and they toss you out of flight school."

Fat Amy commiserates with her friend, "I hate fake people."

CR agrees, "I hate fake people."

Jessica starts talking, "Depending on how long, Ash and I…"

"Well we all know you'll need my considerable talent to help carry the lot of you flat butts," interrupts Fat Amy, talking directly over Jessica.

Flo jumps in before anyone else can say anything, "Okay, you talked me into it. I'm in."

"Pretty sure it's not okay to fly that kind of distance when seven or more months pregnant," says Stacie.

"You're not going," says Aubrey firmly, then pales as she notes the look she gets from Stacie. "I mean, I would want you there, but I want you and your baby girl healthy."

Stacie softens her look, "Thanks, Bree. I agree."

"So Stacie's out. I guess you're up Legacy. Are you in?"

Emily eagerly nods, "Yes, oh yes. Wait, wasn't I always in?"

Beca's eyes widen, and she quickly starts to nod her head yes. "Oh yeah, for sure." Chloe and Aubrey all voice their agreement.

Lily rises up from behind the bar and passes out shots to everyone, save for Stacie, who gets a glass of apple juice. Aubrey grabs up the glass in front of her, "So it's decided! The Bellas are going to join a USO Tour!"

"Legacy!" Fat Amy shouts.

Emily and all the Bellas jump at Fat Amy's sudden outburst. The young Bella grabs her chest, and shouts, "Amy! What the Hell!"

"You're too young to drink; and language young lady," Fat Amy states plainly.

Emily's eyes bulge, "I'm TWENTY-ONE!" The younger woman exclaims. "And YOU gave me alcohol at every Bella and Treble party in my Freshman year!"

"No," Fat Amy shakes her head, "Doesn't sound like me."

Every Bella rolls their eyes at this. Aubrey seizes the silence and holds her glass high again in salute, "Here's to the Bellas going on a USO Tour!"

"Here, here!"

o0o

Four weeks later…

"Seriously, Chlo, I'm not going to your school's Halloween Party as the Mad Hatter," says Beca, crossing her arms.

"Come on, Becs. It'll be amazing! I'll be Alice, you'll be the Mad Hatter..."

"And I'll be the Cheshire Cat!" Interjects Fat Amy.

"Really?," Beca and Chloe ask simultaneously.

"Of course," answers Fat Amy. "Guys always love a sexy pussy."

"We totally walked into that one," says Beca and Chloe laughs.

Chloe grabs Beca by the face and gives Beca her best pout. "Come on Becs, I already checked, you don't have any DJ gigs that night..."

"But I might be able to pick up one. Everybody is looking for entertainment near Halloween, and we could use the money."

"Becs, it's great that you have been busting your ass pulling DJ gigs, but you can take a night and enjoy yourself."

"Money's tight," Beca sighs.

"Ugh! You're like a married couple, worried about finances," cries Fat Amy as she makes a face.

Chloe chooses to ignore the blonde, "Not that tight. Come on Becs, be my da-." Chloe is cut off as her Skype on her mobile phone pings. "It's Bree." Chloe taps the screen. "Hey, Bree."

Their blonde friend's face appears on Chloe's mobile phone. "Hey, guys!"

"Hey, Bree," says Beca, "What's up?"

"Are your passports in order?"

"What?" Chloe asks, confused by the question. "Why?"

"We're going to EUROPE, PITCHES!" Aubrey yells excitedly.

"What?" Chloe and Beca ask simultaneously again.

"The Bellas are joining the USO Christmas Tour," Aubrey says. "We leave in six weeks and the first stop is SPAIN!"


Thanks to everyone for reading, and please leave a review; they really are helpful.

A/N: Change note - We had a super big problem with the part of the movie where Stacie is asked who the father of her child is. We felt the scene could be changed so the question is concerning the father's participation, and this way Stacie shows strength and independence.

We also felt Chloe's switch to Veterinary school was solely done for the cow's ass sight gag. Again we wanted to show it could be included without dropping canon established in the second movie.

Usual disclaimer: We don't own any of the songs used in this chapter:

Daya's 'Sit Still, Look Pretty'
Chainsmoker's 'Don't Let Me Down'
Sia's 'The Greatest'
