A/N: It's currently storming heavily in my country. I don't like storms as it floods my house but it has given me the time though to write this story. Do forgive me if there are a lot of details. It's a full blown fantasy story for me. I do hope you stick with me.
I don't own the Pitch Perfect characters
"So, what do you want to know?" asked Jesse.
They just finished dinner. Jesse tried, and failed miserably in washing the dishes. So far, their night was beginning to turn to normal. But Jesse felt a strong longing to know from Beca's aura. If there was something he knows about knowledge, it's the longing it creates in you. As a Celestian, he had the hunger to know and understand. Beca wanted to understand. For what, he sensed a deep confusion stemming from birth. He didn't understand it but he was determined to. He wasn't passing up this chance again. He wasn't going to ruin this. He's going to be honest. He's going to be himself. He's going to make this woman understand. And he will make her accept him.
And then, he would free. But is it really freedom he seeks?
"I…I want to start over. No more lies. Tell me who you really are. Make me understand." Beca said.
"Alright then. Let me start by saying that I am both your dog and the friendly neighbor you met a few weeks ago. I am human but I am also a Celestian. We are different beings from humans. We are the historical recorders of the Universe."
"You're like an alien?"
"Yes, you could say that. But I'm also a human."
"What does that mean?"
"I was born here. But I was chosen from infancy to become a Celestian."
"Your parents sold you?"
"I'd like to think not. But since most of the Universe don't actually know we exist I think I was more like taken."
"Without their consent."
"I'm not all together sure."
"I thought you said Celestians were historical recorder. Surely that was recorded."
"When it came to that knowledge, I wasn't particularly invested on it as I was to be a guardian of Intelligence. That was for the guardian of Choice."
"There are different guardians?"
"Yes, for the different discovered ideals."
"Woah, this is bigger than I thought."
"It is. Especially to human beings."
"Why is that?"
"Earth is the youngest world we have ever discovered. So far there are only 5 recorded human Celestians."
"Wow, and here I thought I was too old for hearing fairy tale stories."
"Beca, you said something about what I'm saying feeling familiar to you? What does that mean?"
"I don't know. I just felt like all that you said, even now, makes absolute sense to me. Even though it really sounds ridiculous."
"Hmmm…I wonder if I wasn't the first Celestian you've ever encountered."
"Ahhh… I do believe you're the first," Beca explicitly replied, "So, when do you become a dog?"
"In the morning. Then I turn into a man in the evening."
"How long has this been going on?"
"Ahm…maybe around 15 ages."
"What?"
"Sorry, ahm…15 years ago. We call years in our world as ages."
"15 years? You were 12 when you were banished here on earth?"
"Actually, Celestians age differently from the other species across the Universe."
"Don't tell me you're like a thousand years old or something."
"Not really," Jesse computed with his fingers, "I'm around 150 years old in earth's time"
Beca can't believe her ears. She looked at Jesse and saw a 24-year old male. He was well built and he still had baby fats on his face. She whistled low and said, "Looking good man."
Both of them laughed at the ridiculousness of their situation. He was an alien (even with all the explanations) who had the power to make her at ease. She was a human, uncertain of why all that this man was saying made sense to her. Beca looked at him and saw the twinkling in his eyes. Maybe, just maybe, this man is the key to what she was looking for.
"Is your transformation a punishment?"
"Yes," Jesse said a bit melancholic.
"Why?"
"Because I used my music and my ability to transform to intercept a world's priorities."
"Will it end?"
"My punishment?"
"Yeah…"
"It ends…when someone accepts me for who I am in both my dog and human form."
Jesse looked intently at Beca and saw the realization dawn in her eyes.
"You were hoping that was me?" Beca raised her eyebrows at Jesse. Her companion nodded solemnly at her. "Well, I did see you in both your dog and human form. And yet I still haven't killed you for using my robe."
Jesse hung his head, smiled at himself, took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't matter if you break my punishment Beca. I'll always be happy that I met you on this planet. I never actually thought that I could be happy in this place. I've spent too many years on the wrong side of things that I never knew what it meant for someone to accept me," Jesse said while smiling his goofy grin.
"Thanks for that, I guess. Never thought I could actually break a punishment."
"I guess people just don't exist because of existence itself but to affect the lives of the people they encounter."
"Real deep man," Beca said laughingly. "Uhhh…It's getting a bit late. I'm working tomorrow. I'll get you some pillows and blankets."
"Wait, I'm sleeping here?"
"Don't you want to? Even though it's just my sofa, it's a bit comfortable than the rooftop isn't it? And it's cold up there. I can't imagine how you survive in there."
"I've—I've been in worse situations."
"Ok then count me out of those worse situations."
"Thank you Beca."
"You are welcome Jesse."
Beca gave Jesse his pillows and blankets and helped him set her sofa up. "Good night then human Jesse."
"Good night Beca."
Beca turned her lights off and slept dreaming about different colored halls and a brown eyed, brown haired boy.
Elsewhere…
The Lady Scarlet smiled at herself while looking at the progress of Jesson Swanson. Finally, he was accomplishing what he was supposed to accomplish after 15 ages. The punishment was necessary. He needed to learn how to control his affections. Affections may be good but it was supposed to be partnered with the right ideals and knowledge all of which Jesson Swanson ignored.
But the long time it took for him to find someone to break the punishment was the clincher. 15 ages was too long. He was supposed to be looking for her child. That was the real reason she took an interest in Jesson. He was put under Lord Xanthous because Lady Scarlet wanted him to discover a way for her to find her child. She was lost across the Universe and she has tried everything in her power to find her. She wanted Jesson to discover something that could find her child. But this pause, his banishment took more time than for her to use Jesson.
But when he met Beca, everything changed.
