"Think what that money could bring, I'd buy everything, clean out Vivienne Westwood, in my Galliano gown." Beca woke up to Chloe's voice floating from the kitchen. She slowly rolled off Chloe's bed and followed the music, ignoring the pounding in her head and the various gummy bears on the floor. She turned the corner and watched as the redhead sang along to the song while pouring milk in her cereal, still unaware of Beca's presence. "No, wouldn't just have one hood, a Hollywood mansion if I could. Please book me first class to my fancy house in London town." The brunette quickly jumped into the song, startling Chloe in the process.

"All the riches baby, won't mean anything. All the riches baby, bring what your love can bring." The girls smiled at each other as Beca sang. Chloe set her cereal down on the island and walked over to the brunette with her bottom lip caught between her teeth and head bobbing to the song. "All the riches baby, won't mean anything, don't need no other baby, Your lovin' is better than gold and I know." Beca shot a look to Chloe to signal her to take the chorus, and proceeded to provide back up vocals for her. She was satisfied when Chloe hopped back in not missing a beat.

"If I was rich girl,"

"na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na nah" Beca bobbed her head from side to side to each 'na' as she sang prompting a giggle from the redhead.

"See, I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl. No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end, cause I'd have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl."

"Nice."

"Nailed it. Do you want some cereal?" Chloe grabbed her phone to turn off the music before returning to her bowl of honey nut cheerios and taking a spoonful in her mouth.

"Yes, please and thank you." Beca took a seat on one of the stools at the island as Chloe turned around to fix her a bowl. Instead of waiting for her own bowl though, the brunette decided to take Chloe's. She was already halfway done when the redhead turned back around.

"Seriously?"

"You don't like soggy cereal anyways, you can eat mine, it's like two minutes fresher." Chloe shook her head and sat down next to her. "..Crazy night huh?"

"Yeah.." The two stared blankly out the giant window as they ate their breakfasts in comfortable silence until they heard a knock at the door. Beca let out a groan before sliding off of the stool and drifting over to the door, stepping on a few gummy bears on the way. She opened the door to the bellas. All of them. They pushed past her and into the room.

"Oh yeah, sure.. Come on in guys.." Beca rolled her eyes at the girls' lack of decorum.

"Um.. why is your room so big?!" Stacie glared at Beca who was scratching her head.

"Because we paid for it?"

"Holy shit look at this view! What the hell, you've been holding out on us this whole time, Frodo!" Amy ran to the far end of the room and planted her face and hands against the glass. "We're partying here tonight!"

"Well don't smudge it!" Beca made her way back to the kitchen just in time to see the redhead mutter to herself quietly as she finished the rest of her cereal. She squinted at her as she set both the bowls in the sink.

"Morning, girls!"

The bellas responded in unison.

"Morning, Chlo!"

"Jesus, it's like you're their mother."

"Beca, don't you know that I am the mother hen?"

"I thought I was the mother hen since you know I'm kind of the main leader?" The girls laughed and Beca's eyebrows knitted together in feigned offense.

"Beca please, if anything you're like.." Stacie brought her finger to her chin in deep thought. "There's no term for a father figure of a group.." Flo jumped up yelling the first thing that came to mind.

"Daddy rooster!" Everyone stared at her in disgust.

"If I was to ever become a drag king, that would be my stage name." Amy stared at the ceiling and grinned widely.

"Papa bear?" Jessica offered.

"Ooh yes! Papa bear."

"Yep, you're papa bear."

"Wait why am I the dad?"

"Because Chloe's the mom."

"How does that make any sense? Why can't I be a mom too?"

"Beca.. are you mentally incompetent?" Amy stepped forward to hold Beca by her shoulders. "Because if you are, that's perfectly okay. Nobody's judging you, this is a safe zone. Besides, Chloe takes care of us.. you're kind of just there.. like a dad."

"..Why are you guys even here?!" Beca huffed and walked over to the couch to sit, Stacie perked up.

"Oh, We're going to go walk around a little and see what we could find. Like you know souvenirs and stuff." Chloe clapped and smiled widely.

"Ooh that sounds fun! We need to shower though because we're both sticky after last night."

Beca shook her head and anticipated for the worst. She heard the cogs turning in their heads and decided that she couldn't take the suspense. She hopped off the couch and pointed with both hands, one at Amy and one at Stacie.

"DO NOT!" Amy threw her hands up in surrender.

"Wow no need to get all defensive there."

"Yeah we didn't even say anything." Beca glared at the two. Chloe stepped forward and placed a hand on the smaller girls shoulder.

"Calm down, Becs. I'm going to go shower so try not to kill yourself while I'm gone?" Beca deflated and dropped herself back onto the couch. "Thanks, beb."

"Please hurry."


The girls were walking down a cobblestone street when they came across a flea market, bustling with locals. Amy quickly stepped ahead to address the group.

"Aw yeah.. Okay we meet back here in two hours. Cool?" Everyone nodded. "Okay and.. break!" Beca was surprised when everyone including Chloe ran off in different directions, leaving her alone. She glanced around looking for anyone familiar but gave up when she quickly became engulfed in the crowd.

Chloe found herself at a small stall that sold handmade jewelry. She smiled widely as she worked her way through the box that was filled to the brim with various bracelets and rings. Her eyes fell onto a thin bronze bangle. She pulled it out and marveled at the detail and the texture of the diamond shaped pattern that ran along the band. When she turned it over, she noticed a snake head. She turned to the young woman who was running the stand.

"This is an.. ouroboros?"

"Yes.. you like?"

"It's beautiful.. how much?"

"Fifteen." Chloe smiled at her gleefully.

"I'll take it."

Beca was lost.

She weaved through the busy crowd, stopping once in a while to admire the little trinkets that were on display. She was pushing her way through some locals when she felt a familiar hand wrap around hers. She smiled to herself before turning to face Chloe.

"Dude. You left me."

"I know and I'm sorry. But it was so I could buy you something."

"You bought me something?" Chloe nodded giddily. "Okay wait don't show me yet. I need to buy you something first." She turned and pulled on Chloe's hand.

"You don't have to buy me anything, Becs."

"Yes I do. Come on."

After visiting about 10 different booths, Beca finally found one with something she thought was worth buying. She turned to Chloe.

"Close your eyes and turn around." Chloe beamed at her before complying. She listened to Beca speak to the man.

"How much is this?"

"Twenty."

"Great.." Chloe's cheeks were starting to hurt from smiling too much. "Thank you."

"Done?"

"Yep." She turned back to her just as she was zipping up her backpack. "Not yet. We'll exchange them at lunch. Sound good?"

"Sounds great."

They roamed the flea market together, not once letting go of each other's hands, afraid the crowd would separate them again the second they let go.


"Okay. Done?" Chloe looked up from her lap to smile at Beca. They were wrapping their gifts in the cloth napkins that were provided by the waiter.

They were seated outside a restaurant waiting for their food now. The other girls were seated in the neighboring tables around them.

"Wait." Beca frowned at her work. "It looks like a dumpling that got ran over.. I'm not happy with it."

"Beca, it doesn't matter. Mine is just a square. No one's judging you here."

"Okay but please know that I wanted this to look better.. it's just that my wrapping skills are a little below average. I tried putting a bow on it but it didn't turn out right. I'll just leave it so you can appreciate my efforts."

They nodded at each other before placing the items on the table. Chloe grinned when she saw the hideous bundle of napkins Beca had in front of her. Slowly they pushed each gift forward until they met each other at the middle of the table. They kept their eyes trained on each other's as they switched the napkins. Beca's eyebrows shot up as she pulled her gift close.

"One."

"Two-" They quickly unwrapped their gifts, not bothering to count to three.

"Holy shit, Chlo." She pulled the bracelet from the napkin to slip it onto her wrist as she looked to Chloe who was still struggling to untie the napkins. She smiled when Chloe finally got through to the gift.

"I can say the same to you.. You.." Chloe let out a breathy laugh before speaking again. "You got me a dagger.."

"Cool right? It's pretty sharp too. Don't tell anyone but I just tested it out on the tablecloth two seconds ago."

"Beca!" Beca quickly brought a finger to her lips.

"Keep it on the down low, Beale." Chloe sat back to admire the blade.

"This is great.. Do you realize how much more intimidating I'll be with this hanging off my hip?"

"Yeah, maybe now, creepy guys will think twice before approaching you in a bar." They chuckled at each other as Chloe set the dagger on the table. She held her hand out for Beca's.

"I love it, Becs.." Beca reached across the table to lay her hand in Chloe's. "Do you like yours?"

"Yeah, it's great." Chloe twirled the bracelet a few times before looking into her eyes.

"Thank you for the mini sword."

"I'm glad you like it.. I went through like.. twenty different stalls trying to find that."

"I was there, Becs."

".. I know you were. You wouldn't let go of my hand."The waiter returned with their food and the girls thanked the man after having to reluctantly pull their hands away from each other.

"Really? 'Cause I thought it was the other way around."

"Think all you want, Beale." Beca tucked a napkin into her collar.

"I will." Chloe smirked at her before patting her napkin on her lap and picking up her fork.

"..What did you say to yourself earlier today?"

"..What? When?"

"This morning. When they all showed up at our room? I turned the corner and saw you say something to yourself." Chloe coughed and spun her alfredo on her fork. Beca waited patiently.

"It was nothing." She quickly shoved the pasta in her mouth.

"Okay now I know it was something." The brunette set her fork down and interlocked her fingers on the table. She leaned forward and listened intently.

"It's dumb. Forget about it."

"Come on. Please?" Chloe picked up her napkin and wiped her mouth, still staring down at her plate. "Your secrets are safe with me." She sighed and looked into Beca's eyes.

"Fine. Okay." She swallowed hard and leaned towards the other girl. "Don't make fun of me but, whenever I eat cereal I have to eat every single piece. And when I get to the last bite, I have to say 'Ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten'." Chloe glared as Beca tried, and failed, to hide the smile on her face. Chloe sat there patiently waiting for Beca to compose herself.

"Okay that's cool." She squeaked trying hard to hold back the laughter. She shut her eyes afraid Chloe's serious expression would push her off the edge. Chloe sat there quietly watching the other girl pull herself together. "Um.. only cereal?" She saw Beca's mouth quiver when she asked it.

"Yes, only cereal. Do not ask me why." Beca looked to the sky breathing quickly. "You're trying so hard not to laugh it's kind of inspiring. I'm proud of you."

"Th.. thank you.." She took a deep breath and wiped a tear from her eye. " Whoo.. Okay.." she shook her head looking down. She decided to focus on her meal as she felt Chloe stare daggers into her. "Eat your food, Chlo. It's getting cold."


"Truth or dare, Beca?"

The girls were seated in a circle on the floor of Beca and Chloe's room. They had moved the couch and the coffee table out of the way and were already down a bottle of wine.

"I'm not playing this."

"Beca you have to it's the rules."

"No I'm not playing truth or dare. Why can't we just crack out a bottle of tequila and play a drinking game?"

"Because!.." Amy sat there considering why they couldn't. "Actually that does sound a lot more fun. Let's do it!" She leaned back and rocked herself forward letting herself fall into a perfect somersault before hopping onto her feet, and jumping over Beca to run to the kitchen.

"So we're just going to get drunk two nights in a row, Becs?"

"Um, yeah, Chlo. Live a little would you?" Beca shot Chloe a wink and hopped up to follow Amy.

"Okay so this game is called Fuck You." Amy strode confidently around the circle of seated girls. "Now there are many different variations of this game but here's how it's going down.. Here!" She held up her hand holding a deck of cards.

"Where did you get that?"

"Some guy on the street gave them to me in exchange for some of my spit so I said hey, sure why not. Anyways, here! I have a deck of cards.."

30 minutes into the game and everyone was already absolutely wasted.

"Maybe we should.. stop playing guys." Chloe stared blankly at Beca who was already starting to nod off. "It's 4 guys."

"Noo..You two are suuch lightweights!" Amy flicked a card at the two. Beca didn't react when the card hit her square in her forehead. She slowly blinked at the tiny girl waiting for a reaction.

Nothing.

Chloe spoke up when she realized Beca wasn't going to move.

"Yeah okay this one is done. Come on, beb." Chloe stood and pulled Beca up by her arm. She slung Beca's arm around her neck and straightened them both up with her arm wrapped around Beca's waist. "Please keep it down guys, there aren't any walls here."

"We could say the same to you, Red." Chloe shook her head as she dragged Beca to her bed. She swung the brunette on the bed and proceeded to pull both of their socks off.

"Chloee.." Beca extended her arms reaching for the redhead. Chloe slapped her knee softly.

"Scoot up, beb." Beca rolled over to crawl higher onto the bed.

"Cuddle me, Chlo." She flipped back over and lifted her legs to pull the covers up and over them. Chloe walked over to the side and slipped in easily beside her. She was surprised when Beca pulled on her waist. She whispered closely to her.

"I thought you wanted me to cuddle you."

"I changed my mind. You know that I like to be the big spoon.. master spoon, alpha spoon."

"Shut up." Beca grabbed Chloe's arm and turned it over. Chloe's breath hitched when Beca leaned down to kiss the back of her arm. "What.. was that?" She blushed as she felt the ghost of Beca's lips linger on her skin.

"I was kissing Ally goodnight."

"Ally?"

"Yeah, your freckle."

"I thought you said you wanted a unisex name."

"Ally is a unisex name. I looked it up! I googled how to say 'beauty' in Gaelic you know like 'beauty mark' but I didn't want to do too much so I left out the 'mark'. And I didn't know how to pronounce it but I remember there being an A and an L in there somewhere, so I came up with Ally." Chloe grinned before whispering to her.

"Áilleacht."

"All-eeuct."

"Close. Awl-ee-ukht. Awlee-ukht. Faster."

"Alle-ucht? All.. all-" Chloe leaned in closer and spoke clearer.

"Áilleacht.." Beca watched her lips as she said it.

"..Áilleacht." They both grinned widely.

"You got it.."

"Yeah? Áilleacht.." Chloe watched her closely as she said it a few more times. "This is easy. It's a lot looser than I thought it would be. Áilleacht.. áilleacht.. huh."

"..Becs, why do you have to be so cute?"

"I.. am not cute. I.. am.. Groot." They both giggled drunkenly like it was the greatest joke ever. Beca got lost in Chloe's eyes as she watched her laugh. "..Goodnight, Chlo."

"Goodnight, Becs."

"..Áilleacht.. I'll remember that."

Beca quickly intertwined her legs with Chloe's and they dozed off easily with the aid of alcohol muffling the racket the other girls were making.


~I hope you guys know how hard it is to count how many 'na's Gwen Stefani sings in Rich Girl. I had to listen that song like 20 times just to try to count them. I looked it up and one site said 13 but another said 15. Do you see how much I try?!
