Hey people! I didn't even realize it's been so long since I've update this. Why didn't anyone tell me? But here you go.

And some Aubrey!

Enjoy

Auditions

Aubrey glances at Chloe as they walk down the hallway toward their apartment. Chloe smirks, then grins, and then a full smile appears on her face. She opens her mouth to say something. Aubrey cuts her off.

"I swear to god, Chloe. If you say one more thing about it." Aubrey unlocks their apartment door.

"But Aubrey!" Chloe protests.

"No."

Chloe's phone rings as they enter the apartment together. Chloe pulls her cell phone from her pocket. She looks at the caller ID and smiles again.

"Fine," Chloe says to Aubrey. She taps the green.

Aubrey snatches the phone from Chloe's hand before she can say anything.

"Hello, Dr. Isles. Please don't ask about auditions," Aubrey says into the phone. She sidesteps Chloe's attempts to get her phone back.

"Oh, hello, Aubrey," Maura says on the other end of the line. "How are you, honey?"

"Currently annoyed with your daughter."

"What happened?" Jane's voice adds to the conversation.

Aubrey puts the call on speaker. "She's being smug and driving me crazy.

Chloe can't keep silent anymore. "She was amazing!"

Aubrey groans. "She was okay."

"She was better than okay and you know it," Chloe counters.

"She's not right for the Bellas."

Chloe rolls her eyes. "Why not? She's a girl, can sing, and she's hot."

"That's debatable," Aubrey says dryly. Jane can't help but laugh. "And you're obviously thinking with your toner."

"Aubrey, we need girls. We can't really be picky. No one's lining up to join the Bellas like before."

"We can still have standards."

Chloe groans. She's used to Aubrey's stubbornness on some topics. She accepts that's who Aubrey is sometimes and even loves that Aubrey isn't afraid to stand by her strong opinions. But she can already foresee this thing with Aubrey and Beca will be a problem for the Bellas.

And okay, yes, Chloe may have been thinking with her toner for Beca just a tiny bit, but it didn't mean her toner was wrong. If anything, it meant her toner was a pretty good judge of character. And as much as Aubrey doesn't want to admit it, because of their disastrous first impression of one another, Beca's voice, at least, is perfect for the Bellas. Beca will be a Barden Bella even if Chloe has to nudge Aubrey a bit.

"If her voice was good, what's the issue?" Jane asks.

"Her appearance, her attitude, her disregard for rules. She didn't even sing the audition song," Aubrey answers.

"She came late," Chloe defends.

"Exactly. She wasn't even there on time."

"If she was, would that have made a difference?" Maura asks.

"Maybe."

"Well, if she was as good -"

"Amazing." Chloe interjects.

"Sure. If she was as amazing as Chloe says, maybe you should trust Chloe," Maura points out.

"I don't know if Chloe's head is where it needs to be when it comes to this," Aubrey counters.

"Aubrey, you know I'm with you on the Bellas," Chloe reassures.

"Toner," Aubrey sings in disagreement.

"Okay, you're gonna have to stop saying that, Aubrey," Jane chimes in with a chuckle.

"I may be a little interested in Beca." Both Aubrey and Jane scoff at the major understatement. A smack is heard from Maura and Jane's end.

"Ow, Maura," Jane complains.

"But," Chloe continues, "I'm 100% on board with the Bellas and I really do think Beca will help us."

Aubrey mulls over Chloe's statement before giving in. "I'll consider it," Aubrey finally says.

Chloe squeals. "Trust me, Bree. This is gonna work out. I can feel it."

"I hope so," Aubrey says. "I'll be in my room. I need to get away from your creepy smile." Aubrey heads in the direction of her bedroom.

"Love you, too, Bree." Chloe is answered with the closing of the door.

"So, the audition went well?" Jane jokes.

Chloe takes the phone off speaker and heads to her own room. "It really did. Some hits and misses but definitely some we can work with."

"And Beca showed up," Maura says.

"I'm still surprised she didn't press charges," Jane adds. "Let alone actually showed up to the audition."

"Would you rather she did press charges?"

"It would make more sense."

"I told you she wouldn't, Aunt Jane." Chloe says as she hops onto her bed.

"You're logic wasn't very sound in the situation, so excuse me for having a bit of doubt."

"So, what song did she sing?" Maura asks.

"It was the "You're Gonna Miss Me" song from a bit back that was going around by Lulu and the Lampshades."

"With the cup?"

"Yeah, she used Bree's cup."

"Aubrey must have loved that," Jane says. "I'm liking Beca's style."

"It was hot." Chloe couldn't help her huge smile.

"Alright, pull it back." Chloe can tell her Aunt Jane is rolling her eyes. Chloe laughs.

"But I really do have a good feeling about this year."

"That's good, honey," Maura says. "I'm sure you guys will make it to the ICCAs"

"Thanks, Mom. I'm just a bit nervous about this Bree and Beca thing."

"Yeah," Jane interjects. "It might be a thing."

"If you guys all work together it will work out" Maura says.

A phone rings in the background on Maura and Jane's end.

"When's initiation night?" Maura asks.

"Rizzoli," Jane answers away from the phone.

"In a couple nights," Chloe answers quickly. She knows the drill her; her mom will have to leave soon.

"We'll be there," she hears Jane say.

"I'll let you go, Mom. Be safe."

"Okay, honey. Have a good night."

"Night, Bug," Jane calls.

Hanging up from her family, Chloe is wired. She's still on a high from today. She showed up! Beca actually showed up. Ever the optimist, Chloe had hoped she was right about Beca, maybe even desperately so, which was why she could barely contain her excitement when she saw Beca in the wings of the stage. Chloe couldn't tell if her giddiness was part toner or her enthusiasm about the upcoming a cappella season, and she really didn't care. This was looking like it would be a great year. Even if she may have to defuse a few situations between her best friend and the mysterious brunette to whom she feels drawn.

Here's the end people. I hope you liked it.

And if I take another huge break and you guys don't like it, send me a message! I'll try to get back with a new chapter. It's probably me not realizing how long it's actually been. So let me know!

Review. I love them and getting back to all of you.
