CHAPTER 12:

On the day before the finals, the Bellas went to the hospital to pay Amy one last visit before heading for the airport.

"Hey, Amy." Beca said.

"Hey, guys." Amy said.

"We just wanted to come by before we head off to Lincoln Center." Stacie said.

"How nice. The doctors told me I should be discharged within a few days. So that's good news." Amy said.

"Going to the finals just won't be the same without you, girl." CR said.

"I know. I'll miss being on that stage with you guys." Amy said bummed.

"So what happens after you get discharged?" Emily asked.

"I'll be in a wheelchair for a while and I'll have to attend physical therapy three times a week. If all goes according to plan, I should back on my feet in time for Worlds." Amy said.

"Well, we're all hoping for that. But for now, we should probably get going. Our flight leaves in a few hours." Beca said as they all said goodbye.

"Good luck my aca-awesome friends." Amy said.


The next day at Lincoln Center, the finals have started.

"Welcome to Lincoln Center for the 2015 ICCA Finals. I'm John Smith with Gail Abernathy-McKadden." He said.

"As you all know three time ICCA Champions The Barden Bellas are vying for their fourth consecutive national championship tonight." Gail said.

"Big question is: Can they pull it off?" John asked.

"I don't know, John. We've got a lot of great teams performing tonight. It'll be one tough competition." Gail said.

In a montage, we see all the other competing groups performing on the stage. About 30 minutes in, it was time for the Bellas to take the stage.

"Alright, awesome nerds. This is it; we've been here 3 times already, are we getting our victory lap tonight?" Beca asked as half of the Bellas cheered.

"Come on, get a bit more excited than that." Stacie said only to soon realize why half of the Bellas weren't motivated.

"Guys, I know you're bummed because we had to leave Amy behind. But she'll be out of that hospital soon, okay?" Beca said.

"But for now, we need to buck up and focus on the set." Stacie said.

"HANDS IN!" Beca said as they all do so.

"ONE...TWO...(singing) Ah..." The Bellas exclaimed.

"And now three time ICCA Chmapions, The Barden Bellas!" The announcer said as the Bellas take the stage.

"Well, here we go. The Barden Bellas are back hoping a fourth consecutive national title." John said.

"According to my notes, John, one of them had to sit out due to injury. Let's just hope that doesn't make an impact on things." Gail said.

"There's only one way to know." John said.

As Beca played a G on the pitch pipe, the Bellas performed a mash-up of Don't Stop Believing & Any Way You Want It.

Afterwards, the remaining groups took the stage before the awards ceremony.

"In 3rd Place...The Hullaballoos"

"In 2nd Place...The Footnotes"

And now your 2015 ICCA Champions...The Barden Bellas!"

The Bellas went onto the stage to grab their trophy.

"And they did it, John. The Bellas are now four time national championships." Gail said.

"Yep. They got their victory lap. And in a couple months, we'll be following the Bellas to Copenhagen for Worlds." John said.

"We did it!" Beca said

"Yeah, we did!" CR said.

"We may have gotten our victory lap, but we're not done yet." Stacie yet.

"That's right. We got Worlds coming up in 2 months. But for now, I want to get back before Amy gets discharged." Beca said as the Bellas agreed.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Well, they did it! I haven't decided if Worlds will be in the next chapter or in a later one, but I do know that Amy will get discharged from the hospital in the next chapter.
