Thank you for the reviews and follows. For the new followers, welcome to the journey lol. For the people who want some DTRing (define the relationship), well, I think its safe to say, Beca/DJ BLISS is not all about that life right now. I mean didn't she just have a threesome, I think that screams unattached. Anyways, I'm back with another update for the sake to get the plot moving. I know you guys been patiently waiting for a Bechloe reunion. Continue to be patient. Good things come with time. Bad things also come with time as well lol. Mind you, this is still the same day and Chloe is on the plane coming back stateside. But for now, lets get a sense of what Beca has become in two years.

Also, I still don't own pitch perfect nor do I own or know Taylor Swift. For the sake of the story, the song Bad Blood was never on her 1989 album. If you don't know the song, continue to not know it if possible lol.

CHAPTER 4: THERE IS MORE TO YOU

Beca and Stacie enter a small conference room at Capital Records to see Taylor Swift with her arms crossed against her chest sitting at the head of the table that took up most of the room. Taylor raises her eyebrow at the small brunette who looks like she just left the gym with dirty boxing wraps still around her hands and wrists. She watches as the brunette finishes her plastic water bottle before handing it to a taller brunette who seems to be ready to burst from the seams with excitement with a big smile on her face aimed directly at Taylor. For the sake of professionalism, Taylor puts a big friendly smile on her face and introduces herself "…and you must be DJ Lady Bliss."

Beca gives a small smile and walks over to Taylor and extends her dirty wrapped hand. "Hi, you can call me DJ Bliss, DJ Lady Bliss, or Beca. Nice to meet you Taylor. Sorry I'm late."

Taylor hesitates and looks at the DJ's hand. Beca smirks at her hesitation and keeps her hand out, waiting. Taylor slightly clenches her jaw, smile never faltering and shakes her hand, "you're twenty minutes late. But you're here so lets get to work. What do you prefer I call you?"

Beca's smile disappears as she catches Taylor's attitude. Oh goody. She's one of those. Beca sits down in a chair to the left of Taylor. "Beca." Stacie comes up to Taylor, pulls out a small bottle of hand sanitizer out of her purse, and offers it to Taylor. Taylor's smile becomes more real and extends her hand out, palm up. "Thank you…"

Stacie squeezes a small amount to Taylor's hand, "Stacie. I'm Beca's personal assistant and best friend and I am a huge fan of yours."

Taylor rubs her hands together, "Thank you, I love meeting my fans."

As Stacie was about to squeal out with excitement, Beca interrupts, "Stacie, you mind getting me a coffee?" Stacie takes a deep breath to contain herself before looking at her friend, "Are you sure you need coffee and not water right now?"

Beca looks at Taylor and then back at Stacie, "Yeah, I'm sure."

Stacie rolls her eyes but obeys and leaves the conference room.

"Sorry about my friend. She really is a huge fan of your fluff."

Taylor's smile disappears. "Excuse me, my fluff?"

Beca nods like what she said wasn't insulting at all. Taylor clears her throat, swallowing her growing annoyance for the DJ. "So I take it you're not a fan."

Beca shakes her head and starts unwrapping her hands from the dirty wraps. Taylor leans back into her chair and crosses her arms. "Then why did you agree to work with me?"

Without looking up from her wraps, Beca responds, "My people are paying me A LOT of money."

"Oh I didn't know you were the kind of artist that just does it for the money."

"Oh I'm not but if we are going to make a song about love and sprinkle fairy dust on it, then yes. I'm only here for the money."

Taylor Swift leans forward angrily, "I don't have to sit here and be insulted. This is clearly not happening." The tall blonde stands up to leave.

Beca looks up from her wraps and calmly responds, "IF you leave now, you will forever be the queen of the tweens. You reached out to me. I suspect you want more. Am I wrong?"

Taylor sits back down but doesn't respond. Beca continues, "My job is to help you make a smash hit and in order to do that, I need something real to work with."

"What I write is real."

Beca rolls her eyes and was about to respond when Stacie walks back into the room with coffee. Immediately, the assistant can feel the tension in the room and the demeanor of the blonde clearly shows it.

"What did I miss?"

Taylor looks at the assistant and smiles, "That my work is fluff and Beca is being an asshole who I can't possibly work with."

Stacie lets out an exaggerated sigh, "Just please don't write a song about her. Selena is already doing that."

"Yes. Selena told me."

Beca raises her eyebrow, "I'm curious, what did she tell you?"

Taylor gives her a smug look, "That you're insufferable, arrogant, and all you can think about is sex."

Beca chuckles to herself, "oh that Disney princess doesn't take rejection well."

Stacie's eyes widen and quickly hands Beca the coffee, "Drink." Stacie then directs her attention to Taylor. "I am so sorry Taylor if Beca has been an asshole this morning. She tends to get like that if she doesn't have coffee. This is my fault. I should have gotten her some before arriving. She is much easier to work with when she has had coffee."

"Her rudeness is not your fault Stacie. You've been great."

Stacie beams, "I have an idea for a song you guys can write. Why not about sex? I mean we all have plenty of experience in that department."

Taylor politely responds, "That's a good idea except it wouldn't be appropriate for my younger fans. I want to create a song that they can relate to but also appeals to our age group as well."

Beca who has been happily drinking her coffee joins the conversation, "And that's where I'm supposed to come in."

Taylor reaches into her purse and pulls out a folded piece of paper and places it on the table. "I actually have written some stuff down that can make for a pretty good song."

Beca slides the paper closer to her and places her coffee on it. "It makes a pretty good coaster."

Taylor and Stacie's mouth drop, one out of anger, the other out of shock. Taylor is first to speak, "What the fuck is your problem?"

Beca smiles innocently, "Right now, you."

"How am I the problem here?"

Beca leans forward and replies seriously, "Because you are talented, a tall glass of gorgeous, that is afraid to dig deeper. I don't want a pretty good song. I want a great song. A heart thumping, head rocking, badass song. Not fluffy fluff fluff….I want you to take off your goody goody perfect girl mask off for a second and let me see the real you. Come on, that mask must get exhausting."

For once Taylor Swift is speechless. She was not expecting that kind of response. Beca continues, "What hurts you more than a stupid boy?"

Taylor takes a second to think. "Being lied to….someone going behind my back."

Beca nods her head, "and how does that make you feel?"

Taylor frowns, "Like I'm being stabbed in the back."

Beca shakes her head, "No don't get sad, get angry. Think of something that will make your blood boil. Think of a scenario where your heart feels suffocated, the blood in your body boiling and you feel like you are ready to erupt like Mount Vesuvius…..now I want you to take that fire and put it into a song."

Taylor leans back into her chair, impressed. "Stacie's right. You're much easier to work with when you have had some coffee."

Beca smiles, "Stacie knows me very well."

"I may have been wrong about you, there is definitely more to you than just being an ass."

"And there is more to you than love songs."

Beca is pretty bad ass right? No longer an illusion. She has come a long way from 2 years ago when she was a timid intern. I guess you would have to find your voice to make yourself seen and heard in the entertainment industry or else you would get nowhere AND standing tall at 5'2", most definitely overlooked. Damn LA, what have you done with our Beca. Is Beca wearing a mask or is this the real her? Beca 2.0

Up next: Stacie gets Chloe from the airport.

The more reviews I get the faster it will be up. I'm almost done with the chapter, maybe 70% complete.

Til next time!
