Author's note: Go check out Olympic Exploits over on Smeg's name. I'm beyond sorry that a majority of it is coming out after the Olympics, but Smeg insists on having/living a real life. And while you're there, check out the other stuff too, like, for instance, Slaying Intersected. I'm also contemplating a separate Buffy/Pitch Perfect crossover, I have a few ideas maybe something I could get a chapter out in the next couple weeks. Would there be interest? Other than that, enjoy the new chapter. It's unbetaed so everything's on me
"Hey Sweetheart, how was your study group?" Chloe asked as Aubrey entered their shared apartment.
"Thankfully nothing like the one on Community." Aubrey replied as she went about putting her stuff away. "It's early on still, so there's not a lot to cover yet, it's just mainly making sure we're prepared for what's to come."
"Well that's good. My classes this morning went pretty well, I don't think I'm going to have any trouble at all." Chloe said.
"I'm happy to hear that, as busy as this year is going to be that's a good thing." Aubrey said, moving to sit next to Chloe on the couch. "I ran into Beca and her father on the way out of the library, they were on their way to Beth's for lunch."
"That's cool, why didn't you go with them?" Chloe asked, moving her legs so they were on Aubrey's lap. The blonde instinctively reached out and ran her hand along the redhead's calf
"Her dad actually suggested it." Aubrey explained. "But Beca gave me this look, I could just tell she didn't want me to, so I told them I had stuff to do for the Bellas, which I do granted, and excused myself. She needed time to talk to her father alone."
"Well, I guess I can understand that." Chloe said. "So, I was thinking about our date Friday night. Do you think we should do something where Stacie can bring Victoria too?"
"That's really sweet of you, I bet Stacie would really appreciate that." Aubrey said, leaning in to kiss Chloe briefly. "The thing is, I don't know how well Beca would react to that. We need to take her feelings into consideration to, and she's the most nervous of all of us."
"I hadn't thought about that." Chloe said, a hint of defeat in her tone as she dropped her head.
"Baby, no, don't look at it like that." Aubrey said, reaching out to lift Chloe's head so they were looking in each other's eyes. "You and I have known each other literally pretty much our whole lives, we've been best friends as long as I can remember, we've been girlfriends since we were 13 and our names came in telling us we're soulmates. I never told you this, but if same-sex marriage had been legal in New York when we were there for Nationals, I would have proposed..."
"Awwwwwww Bree!" Chloe excitedly called out, leaning up and kissing her girlfriend. "That's like, so sweet."
"I love you Chlo, you know that, as much as one person can possibly love someone." Aubrey said. "The point I was trying to make is the one you made at hood night. You and I are together. Beca wasn't counting on Stacie and me."
"That's true. I'm just, I'm so excited that we found her and Stacie." Chloe said. "I know you've been wondering about them for as long as I have."
"Let's just take them some place nice, like Courtyard Bistro maybe, have a nice meal, a nice conversation, and we'll see how it goes, ok?" Aubrey suggested.
"Sounds like a good idea." Chloe agreed, getting up from the couch and grabbing Aubrey's hand. "Now come on, we need to go celebrate our engagement."
"But, we aren't..." Aubrey started.
"You were going to, that's close enough." Chloe said, kissing Aubrey. "Now come make love to me.
"What's there to be scared of?" Chris asked, the tone of Beca's voice bringing out his concerned, protective side.
"What if they don't like me?" Beca asked, intently studying the menu to avoid looking at her father.
"Don't think like that Beca, you're an amazing young woman." Chris said, reaching out to squeeze her hand. "Any girl would be lucky to be your soulmate."
"I feel like I'm the lucky one." Beca said, finally looking up. "I mean, you saw Aubrey, and I told you about Stacie, and eluded to Chloe. Seriously Dad, Chloe. You know the song 'Sweet Child O' Mine' right?"
"Of course I do, it's a fantastic song." Chris confirmed, letting Beca go at her own pace.
"Well, she's basically the second verse come to life. Her eyes are really beautifully blue, and even though I haven't known her that long I already know I'd do almost anything to keep her from being disappointed. And her hair. Seriously, I don't even know where to begin." Beca explained. She glanced to the Liv, the redheaded waitress still standing by the table, and pointed toward her head. "Her hair is similar to that. It just takes me back to that big stuffed Clifford I used to cling to during thunderstorms."
"Wait, are you saying your soulmates are Chloe Beale and Aubrey Posen?" Liv asked, piecing things together from what Beca had said.
"Yeah, that's them." Beca confirmed.
"You really are a lucky girl." Liv said, sitting down next to Beca and taking her hand. "They come here quite often, I've gotten to know them a little over the years. Chloe really is the sweetest, most caring, most loving person I know, and that includes Anna's mom Beth who owns this place. And sure, Aubrey can be a bit intense, but she's driven and she treats Chloe so well. You hit the jackpot little one. Don't be scared, give them a chance, you'll see. If you're not head over heels in love with them by the end of the year, I'll give you all my tips for a week."
