The last 3 weeks of school would fly by, and World's wouldn't be for another 3 weeks after that so Beca and the Bella's stayed on Campus to perfect their performance. They had already been working on their performance beforehand, so most practices were just to perfect their set.

Beca and Aubrey had become inseparable since the little fiasco at Final's. Aubrey insist it's because of 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'. They spent every night together, mostly hanging around the Bella House and going out to eat.

They went on an occasional date with Chloe and Stacie, they even joined them for movie night. Aubrey knew Beca wouldn't like it but Beca assured her it was ok. The girls assumed their viewing positions to watch Top Gun. Chloe sat snuggled up in Stacie's lap with a blanket covering them. Beca and Aubrey squeezed into their recliner and kicked back to watch the movie. After the movie, the four girls discussed the World's, they would be leaving in a few days and be spending a week in Copenhagen.

"You think we will be ready Beca?" Chloe asked.

"For sure, with the song's we picked, Stacie's ass killing choreography, and mom's sparkling uniform's, we will be fine." Beca said.

"I still can't believe you picked those song's Beca. I know you hate movies, but you picked songs from a Disney movie at that." Stacie said.

Beca grabbed Aubrey's hand and looked at the girl's. "Well, Aubrey and I chose the song's because it fits us, and we are gonna show them Deutchbags we are serious."

The other Bella's have been out and about, just now returning to the house. It was close to 10pm. Cynthia Rose picked up a strange invitation on the front porch and shared it with the group.

Chloe snatched it up and opened it,

"It look's like we've been invited to sing at some sort of party. There is just an address and a password.

"How sexy and mysterious" Amy added.

It was 12am and the Bella's made it. After a slight mishap with the password and being late, they finally made it. They were taken back by the crowd inside the man's basement. Naturally the first people they see are none other than DSM,

"Das Sound Machine, 2 o'clock" Chloe gasped.

Stacie rolled her eyes at Chloe's mistake, "You mean more like 10 o'clock babe."

The girl's fled, leaving Chloe and Beca to face The Kommissar. Stacie had to physically remove Aubrey, who was ready to fight, and this was not the time to do it.

"Ah, Tiny Maus we meet again" Mina purred.

"Another verbal beatdown, highlight of my day." Pieter added.

"So, have you abandoned your foolish plans to face us at the World's?" Mina put her smirk on that goes straight through Beca,

"You wish, you gorgeous specimen…. She's really in my head."

After a few more exchanges, Aubrey heard Beca flipping out on Mina and noticed Chloe struggling to handle Beca. Aubrey rushed over and wrapped up Beca which instantly calmed her down.

"Ah, Feisty Maus' play toy, nice to see you again."

"Listen jerk, I don't appreciate what you tried to pull back at the Final's, I knew what you were trying to do, and it didn't work." Aubrey hissed.

Mina shrugged it off, "Don't know what you're talking about blondie."

"You practically ruined my life, so you could win this stupid championship. It doesn't even matter if you broke us up, we would have still kicked your ass anyways."

Mina grinned, Beca knew that her sadistic brain was turning, which was never good,

"Very well, if your group of tiny ass kickers are so confident, would you want to place a bet on World's?"

Beca gulped, not good.

"What kind of bet?" Stacie asked cautiously.

"If the Bella's win, I will apologize and confess to the World that I setup Aubrey, so we could gain the advantage to win."

Aubrey perked up to this, finally, maybe she would be set free and gain her father back and life back.

"But what if we lose?" Beca asked timidly.

Mina smiled and leaned down into Beca's ear, her hot breath was standing the hairs on Beca's neck up,

"I get her," Looking straight over Beca's shoulder at Aubrey.

Aubrey froze, not sure how to respond.

"Absolutely not!" Beca yelled "Please Mina, anything else, just name it, I'll do anything for you. Just leave Aubrey alone." Beca was shook and desperately tried to bargain with Mina.

Beca's emotions were really saddening her friend's but it was only fueling Mina's diabolical soul.

"That's the deal, take it or leave it, this is her chance to get her life Beca." Mina smirked

"I'll do it." Aubrey spoke up to Mina's delight.

"Aubrey no!" Beca yelled.

"It's ok Beca, we won't lose."

The gong had chimed, signaling the teams to start the Riff-off. The Bella's, DSM, The Treblemaker's, Tonehanger's and The Green Bay Packer's joined in the battle. The Bella's would get a firsthand glimpse of what Das Sound Machine could do.

"Way to go Emily, DSM now thinks they got the drop on us!" Chloe yelled.

DSM had defeated The Bella's in the final round due to Emily incorrectly singing her song, which was not a 90's hip hop jam.

"It's ok Chloe, mistakes happen Emily, now go party." Aubrey said.

Aubrey found Beca at the bar sipping on a Mojito,

"I'll have what she's having," Aubrey told the bartender.

"What's wrong Babe?"

"Who would of thought that German's knew 90s hip hop so damn well?"

Aubrey laughed listening to Pieter lead the floor in his remix of 'Jump'. "I don't know, but the boy sure can spit some lines through that accent."

"I wanted to win so bad for you Bumblebee."

"Beca it's fine, now we know we better be prepared to kick their ass."

"We would have, but Emily screwed up and it cost us."

"Yeah, but I assured her it was ok. This was all in good fun Beca."

"Was it though? DSM was flawless, no mistakes, no hesitation, inhuman like."

Beca was really knocking back the drinks now,

"Beca slow down on the drinks jeez, what's gotten into you?"

After a few minutes of silence, Beca spoke up,

"I can't lose you Bree…"

"Beca…"

"Please listen." Beca sighed, "We can't beat them, Mina will do whatever it takes to win, she is the most ruthless leader I've ever met. She's always been a perfectionist. I couldn't even beat her in a damn game of tic tac toe, how am I supposed to beat her at her own game? She's been in DSM for years. They aren't kidding when they say they are the best. Its their way of life, and to rub salt in my wound, she will get you as her trophy to use up and then move on. Like she done to me." Beca was in a dark place, being completely plastered didn't help either.

Aubrey was overwhelmed with sympathy towards Beca. She had to get this girl out of here and back on track. Aubrey carried the girl outside and loaded her into the car. She had told the other's she was taking Beca to the house due to her meltdown.

Aubrey changed the brunette into her pajamas and snuggled into the bed to comfort Beca. Aubrey was just about to slip off to sleep,

"Bree?"

"Yes Beca?"

"I love you."

"I love you too, and don't worry about World's either, you'll have me forever and always."

The Girl's arrived in Copenhagen Sunday afternoon and it had them at a loss of word's. It was truly beautiful, and seeing that Aubrey had been there several times before, she was the tour guide.

"Don't worry Babe, I'll save the good stuff for us," Aubrey said with a wink before slapping Beca's ass and walking to the front of the group.

It left Beca upset, Aubrey kept her lusting for more. She was really turned on by her girlfriend's confidence, it really made her believe things would be alright.

The Bella's practiced a few more times but it wasn't necessary, they were ready. The competition was tomorrow night, so the girls stayed in and prepared themselves. They could concentrate on partying after winning World's.

Chapter 10.

The competition was good, Beca wouldn't deny it. She wasn't worried though, she was only worried about the black dressed devils headed her way to gloat before they had to perform. On the Brightside, The Bella's got to close the show. They got a good look at the other groups, but going behind DSM scared her,

"You hear that? They cheer, for us," Mina said.

Beca had immediately shrunk backwards but was stopped when she bumped into Stacie and Aubrey standing firm, arms crossed.

"Tiny Maus, no need to be afraid, I'll take good care of Aubrey. Don't cry too much when you lose, makes eyes puffy."

Beca stood in silence, never has her team heard her so quiet. The badass Beca was feeling defeated. Aubrey pulled Beca to her side and kissed her temple,

"We can do this Beca."

"I envy your confidence Bree."

The Bella's gathered around behind the stage preparing to watch DSM perform. Beca was unsure if they could pull this off and when DSM started their performance, she was certain The Bella's couldn't win. DSM thrilled the crowd with My Songs Know What You Did in The Dark and All I do is win.

Beca's body language was one of a person who was already lost and afraid, so Aubrey stepped up for the pep-talk,

"Girl's this is it, the moment we've trained for. You girls have brought me into your sisterhood, brought me out of my shell, brought me into this life and I thank you all. Yes, DSM was good, but we're going to wipe the floor with them, I love all you aca-nerds. Let's sing ah on 3"

Beca cheered up a bit after hearing Aubrey's pep-talk, the other girls seemed to like it as well, maybe this would be ok.

The Bella's took stage wearing their blue sparkling jackets and black tailored pants. Each girl had their hair tied back into a pony tail, it was obvious some had to use hair extensions, but every Bella matched.

The girls took their positions, Beca and Aubrey stood up front. Aubrey started singing the opening bars to Start of Something New, then Beca took the second part with the Bella's joining in. They built up the song and then jumped into Breaking Free, the change of pace certainly electrified the crowd.

Beca felt a little better, she put away the competition for a moment and enjoyed the spotlight with Aubrey. The light eventually dimmed, and Emily stood at center and slowed the pace down with her song, Flashlight. This is what put the Bella's over the top. Introducing an original song was unheard of, and to top it off, the lights flipped on and The Bella's were joined by generation of former Bella's.

Once finished, the crowd went ballistic and the Bella's all celebrated on stage. They exited the stage to wait for the announcement. Every team Captain was called back on stage. They had chipped it down to three teams, The Canadians, The Bella's, and DSM. The Canadian's took third, and DSM took second, making The Bella's the Champions.

Aubrey ran to center stage with the other Bella's and she scooped up Beca in a twirling hug and kissed her deeply. "I told you we would win!"

"Shut up and kiss me again."

The Bella's were surprised to see Mina and Pieter waiting for them outside their dressing room.

"Barden Bella's, I believe congratulations are in order." Mina stuck her hand out to congratulate the Captains."

"Told you we would kick your ass," Aubrey smirked.

Mina threw her hand's up in defeat, "Yes you did, and I believe we had a bet, so I shall honor it. I'm sorry for what I done and hope that one day we can look past all of this and maybe become more than enemies. And Aubrey don't worry I will announce publicly that I set you up and I hope it is enough to solve all of this."

Aubrey smiled, "Thank you for keeping your word, that means a lot."

Mina didn't stick around long, she quickly turned to head to for her dressing room.

"I kind of feel bad for her Bec's, I mean being a complete hard ass all the time has to come at a cost."

"What are you getting at Bree?"

"Yeah Bree? She made her bed and she can lay in it" Stacie said.

"Well maybe we can invite her to hang with us in our VIP Suite at the party?" Aubrey said.

Beca and the girls eventually took pity on Mina,

"Yeah, I suppose, but if she acts up, I'm throwing her out" Stacie said.

"Hey Mina! Wait!" Aubrey yelled down the hall.

Mina stopped and turned around, "Yes?"

"Would you like to join us tonight in our Suite? Say around 10?" Aubrey yelled.

Mina smiled, maybe these girls aren't so bad after all, "Ja, I would love that, 10 it is."

The summer had come and gone and the girl's returned to school and to The Bella's. Chloe had shocked most of them by staying another year and they continued their quest as now defending World Champions. Their annual riff-off was a success and they even took Regionals.

It was Election night and Aubrey and Beca joined the Posen's at their Mansion, along with many other esteemed guests. Mina did as she promised and confessed, letting Mr. Posen regain his top spot and although he remained optimistic that he could win, he stayed humble and privileged throughout the night.

Beca and Aubrey mingled around with the guest, telling them their story and all about the Bella's, the two really meshed together. But Beca was off tonight she seemed anxious and jittery. The only one who noticed was Aubrey, but she figured if Beca needed something she would tell her.

However, Beca did need something and it was permission from The Posen's specifically. She asked Aubrey to be excused, although she was reluctant to do so, Aubrey let her go.

Beca approached Aubrey's parents very nervously.

"Beca, hi" Mr. Posen said cheerfully.

"You think that I could speak with you and Gloria alone, it'll only take a second," Beca asked.

The three left the room and headed upstairs,

"What's on your mind sweetie?" Gloria asked.

Beca stood in silence, trying to build confidence,

"I'm not trying to take your spotlight sir. It's just I really love Aubrey and she's the most perfect woman on this Earth. Would it be ok if I asked her to marry me tonight?"

Beca pulled out a Beautiful Diamond Ring and handed it to Gloria,

"I think a long engagement would work out, me and Aubrey have been through so much as it is, and I want to commit myself to her tonight, forever."

Aubrey's parents stood in awe,

"This ring is beautiful Beca, Aubrey will love it." Gloria added.

"Beca, although I never pictured this moment with a woman, I can see how big of a difference you have made on my daughter. You two are a perfect match for one another and I would be honored to have you as my daughter in law."

Beca smiled as the three joined in a hug,

"Now go on and get your girl" James said.

Beca joined Aubrey downstairs and pulled her away from the group she was chatting with. The Posen's gathered as closely as possible, Gloria had her camera ready.

"Beca what is the matter with you? You interrup…." Aubrey was cut off by a kneeling Beca. "Oh, Beca wow!"

The crowd had quieted down and gathered around the couple.

"Aubrey, this past year has been magical. From the first day I saw you on campus, from our first date at the restaurant, I knew I loved you the second I saw you. After everything we have been through, the fact that you're still here with me means more than you'll ever know. I want you to know that I'm willing to spend the rest of my life with you, starting tonight with this proposal."

Beca pulled the ring out and showed it to Aubrey. Her eyes sparkled in the light that the diamond was putting off,

"Aubrey Posen? Will you marry me?"

Aubrey jerked Beca up off the floor and kissed her more passionately than ever before,

"Yes, I'll marry you."

The room erupted, people gathered around to congratulate the newly engaged couple and to congratulate Aubrey's parent's.

"Aubrey sweetie, we can handle it from here. Why don't you and Beca go enjoy yourselves?" Mr. Posen said with a grin.

The girls awoke in Aubrey's room to two major headlines. The first headline was, In an upset, James Warren Posen Elected President. Aubrey was so proud of her father for this feat, she would have to congratulate him later. The second headline said, President's Daughter Aubrey Pose, is set to Wed. This made Aubrey smile even more, as the reality of it struck in. She was going to marry her best friend.

The news didn't stay quite long that morning. Beca's mother as well as the Bella's had called to congratulate them. Stacie was the last to call, mainly because she always sleeps in. Beca put her on speaker,

"When where you going to tell me this Beca?"

"Sorry Stace, I wanted to keep it a surprise. Only mom knew about it."

"I can't believe her! She tells me everything I thought."

"Yes, I know, so I specifically said do not tell Stacie."

"I hate you Beca, but you can make it up to me by making me your Maid of Honor."

"You knew I would anyways dork."

"Oh yeah, and thanks, Chloe will be expecting me to propose now."

Aubrey chuckled in the background.

"Congrats Aubrey, take care of her alright?" Stacie asked.

"Thank you and I will trust me." Aubrey drew closer to steal a steaming hot kiss from her fiancé.

Aubrey disappeared into the Bathroom and turned the shower on to get it warm. Beca and Stacie continued their conversation until Beca noticed Aubrey walking out of the bathroom in her robe. She had no idea what Stacie was saying, she was too focused on Aubrey.

Aubrey walked back to the bathroom, stopped before entering and dropped her robe, exposing her backside for Beca to see. She looked over her shoulder and winked, "I'll be waiting."

Beca's mouth was watering and she clearly forgot her conversation with Stacie,

"Uh Stace, I'll call you back."

"Uh-oh, shower sex. Aw Beca, it's just like yall's first time, how sweet!" Stacie said.

"Shut up nerd." Beca hung up, quickly scrambling to join her fiancé in the shower to celebrate.
