Have you all seen PP2? I loved it, it was awesome and I'm so proud of them all because it's the number 1 movie in the US, UK and Germany! and the soundtrack is number 1 on the billboard charts! Who run the world? Fucking Pitch Perfect franchise does!
now I love Emily in PP2 so I'm deciding to add her into my story, she's a little different because she's not a Junk (you'll find out in this chapter) and she won't be dating Benji.
After this chapter I will be jumping to Christmas! Whoo!
It's All About Finding Yourself - Chapter 26
A couple of weeks had past since Sectionals which meant Christmas was certainly on it's way in Barden.
"We're gonna need a replacement for Rachael, Mr McKay." Beca strode into the choir room, her hand in Chloe's as the said redhead, tapped away on her phone with her other hand.
"What why?" Mr McKay's expression was laced with confusion and concern.
"Her grandma's sick so she's staying with her dad for a while but he lives away across town." Luke informed and judging by his voice, he was pretty torn up about the situation.
"Well that's a shame but Beca's right, we will need a replacement for the time being."
"We need a Christmas tree in here." Stacie spoke up randomly, making mostly everyone agree with her, echoing 'Yeah's' around the room.
"Stacie, regionals are in February and I think it would be more logical to start thinking about them not instead of Christmas trees." Mr McKay quickly shot down the idea making the children trapped inside teenage bodies groan.
"Yeah dude, it's only the twelfth of December." Beca scoffed earning herself a slap on the arm from her girlfriend. "What?!" She called out, wondering why Chloe decided to get physical.
"Twelve days of Christmas Bec." Jesse said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "You put the Christmas tree up twelve days before Christmas and take it down twelve days after."
"Ugh you guys are so lame." Beca whined, throwing her head back.
"Enough about Christmas trees guys, we need to focus." Mr McKay "Okay..." As he turned to the board and began rambling on about song choice, Chloe placed a hand on Beca's thigh and leaned in close to her ear.
"What are you doing over Christmas?" She asked in a whisper. Beca didn't turn to face Chloe, instead just deciding to whisper back to her in the position they were already in.
"Nothing, why?"
"Well me, my dad and Emily are going to Florida to spend Christmas with my grandparents but I want you to come." Chloe smiled, stroking her hand up and down Beca's thigh.
"Well I'll need to ask my dad, is it okay with your family?" Beca finally turned her head only to realise how close Chloe actually was.
"Yeah it's completely fine. We'll have so much fun, plus..." Chloe lowered her voice and leaned into Beca's ear. "There will probably be times when we have the house to ourselves." She whispered suggestively and Beca blushed because she remembered that she was surrounded by people. Oh Beca was totally gonna make sure her dad let her go. Remember operation: sex up Chloe?
"Why are you all following me?" Aubrey let out an exasperated sigh as she closed her locker before turning around to be met with the sight of Beca, Chloe and Stacie who had been following her for the past ten minutes.
"We have nothing better to do." Stacie shrugged.
Aubrey held her finger up to Stacie as her phone started ringing. "Hello?...Dad?"
Beca, Stacie and Chloe took a mocking step back once they heard who Aubrey was on the phone to before laughing, making Aubrey threaten them with just one hand along some intimidating facial expressions.
"Why is she starting school now?...Oh, okay. So is it like a permanent thing?"
The other three girls exchanged glances with each other, wondering what Aubrey was talking about.
"Oh wait I see her, I'll talk to you later dad." Aubrey hung up and waved her hand which made the other girls turn their heads. "Emily!" She called.
"Emily?" Stacie asked.
"She's a cousin."
"Why don't we know this cousin?" Beca asked in confusion.
"She's on my dad's side and has just moved here. Be nice." She warned just as a tall, dark haired girl with an excitable expression approached them, wrapping her arms tightly around her cousin.
"Aubrey, hey! I haven't seen you in ages." Emily detached from Aubrey and turned to smile at the rest of the girls. "Oh my god, Beca and Stacie right?" The tall girl gave Beca and Stacie a hug each, making the girls confused and slightly taken aback.
"Emily, yeah this is Stacie, Beca and Chloe, Beca's girlfriend." Aubrey had to pull Emily away from Stacie who was still stood there trying to comprehend everything that just happened.
"How old are you?" Beca asked, slightly confused, judging by the height of the girl.
"Fifteen."
"Freshmeat." Stacie grinned, folding her arms across her chest.
"I get that he's a hunter and all-" Beca motioned to Stacie's crotch "-But that honestly just sounded really gay."
Stacie furrowed her brow. "You're gay." She tried to shoot back but soon realised that it was pointless.
"I know." Beca rolled her eyes.
Emily glanced to her side with wide eyes as if to ask her cousin what the hell was going on. Aubrey placed a hand on Emily's back.
"Guys please don't crush Emily's innocence in the space of five minutes, just behave yourselves." Aubrey scolded. Sometimes she felt like a mother to Beca and Stacie rather than a best friend but honestly, what would the two do without her?
Stacie smiled apologetically at Emily whilst Beca just threw her head back with another eye roll.
"Dude, your little cousin is taller than you." Beca scoffed at Aubrey, looking Emily up and down.
"She's taller than all three of you." Stacie corrected, give Emily a smirk. The kid was excitable but Stacie could show her the ropes.
"Hey Emily, can you sing?" Chloe jumped into the conversation, pushing height jokes to the side.
"I love to sing!" The fifteen year old replied with enthusiasm and a wide smile.
"Posen family sing alongs sound fun." Beca deadpanned.
"My dad says singing is a waste of time so I don't get to do it a lot." Emily said, Beca's sarcasm going straight over her head.
"Do you want to join the show choir with us?" Chloe asked, elbowing her girlfriend.
"Yeah sure!" Emily nodded wildly.
"Hey, I can take you to Mr McKay, if you want." Stacie offered.
"Ye-" Emily started but was cut off by Beca laughing out loud.
"Keep it in your pants, Stace." The tiny brunette chuckled, patting Stacie on the shoulder.
"Look-" Stacie grabbed Beca's wrist, finally snapping about her bullshit "-Just because you're finally out and dancing on lesbian rainbows doesn't mean everyone around you is gay, okay?"
"Maybe I should just go?" Emily's tone made it sound more like a question as she pointed to her side.
"You need to chill out dude!" Beca shot back before Aubrey jumped in between them.
"Honestly why do I have to baby the two of you? who would ever have thought that I'm the youngest out of the three of us?" Aubrey glared at the two girls. "Stacie, take Emily to Mr McKay. Chloe take Beca over there somewhere." Aubrey internally screamed once she pushed Stacie and Emily in the right direction before leaving the situation behind her.
"I'm sorry about her." Stacie apologised as she led Emily down the hallway.
"Who? Beca or my crazy cousin?" Emily chuckled which made Stacie laugh.
"I was gonna say Beca but now that I think about it, Aubrey kind of went bat shit for no reason there." Stacie placed a finger on her cheek, pretending to be in deep thought which made Emily smile. "Are you a Posen?"
"Uh, yeah, Aubrey's dad is my dad's brother."
"Well that's unfortunate." Stacie muttered.
"You bet it is." Stacie's head whipped around, surprised that Emily actually heard her.
"Good ear kid." The taller brunette narrowed her eyes.
"I've seen you dance by the way. You're pretty amazing." Emily complimented shyly.
"You're sweet." Stacie smiled at Emily. "I'm kind of in the healing process of an injury right now though."
"Oh yeah? What happened?" The younger girl asked with a furrowed brow.
"I threw my knee out pretty bad at sectionals and it's still a tad delicate ever since." Stacie shrugged before stepping into the faculty base, knocking on the door as she did so.
"Stacie, come in." Mr McKay was sitting with Miss James at one of the tables as he motioned with his hand for Stacie to come over.
"Hi." Stacie smiled at the two teachers before turning to Emily. "Mr McKay, I've found Rachael's replacement." She stated proudly.
"By that I did not mean kidnap random underclassmen Stacie." Mr McKay warned with a chuckle.
"Oh no, this is Emily. She's a Posen."
"Oh yeah?" Mr McKay asked, turning to Emily.
"Yes, Aubrey's my older cousin. I just moved here." Emily smiled.
"Well Emily, can you sing?" He asked, quirking an eyebrow at the freshman who nodded. "Let's see what you got then.
Stacie spun around and perched herself on the edge of the table, eagerly waiting to see what the fifteen year old is capable of.
"Okay, this is actually an original song I'm working on, it's not finished yet so bare with me." Emily laughed nervously, taking a deep breath.
"Oh another song writer, I'm sure you'll get on great with Beca." Mr McKay smiled but Stacie placed a hand on his forearm and discretely shook her head.
"It doesn't even have a name yet but here goes..."
When tomorrow comes
I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened of
The things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes...
"It's a work in progress." Emily said shyly.
"Wow." Stacie muttered.
"Yeah, wow. You could maybe give Beca a run for her money." Mr McKay chuckled and Emily's eyes widened as if to say 'Don't put me in competition with the frightening short person.' "Welcome to the glee club Emily!" He announced excitedly, standing up to give the girl a pat on the shoulder. "I will see you girls after school for rehearsal, I have a fun activity planned."
"Okay guys I want everyone to give our newest member, Emily, a nice warm welcome." Everyone clapped, Beca doing so with less enthusiasm. She didn't know what it was about Emily, it's just the kid was too wide eyed and bushy tailed and Beca couldn't deal with that. "Okay let's get on with today's assignment." Mr McKay took his pen out of his back pocket and wrote 'Girls vs Boys' on the board.
"Yes!" All the girls apart from Emily (who was just trying to process everything as a whole, just kind of being thrown in there with a bunch of her cousin's friends which she had heard of but never met.) cheered and high fived each other, muttering 'we got this.'
"That's not fair, the girls have Beca and Bree, who are clearly the best singers." Jesse whined, Aubrey giving his thigh a sympathetic squeeze.
"Jesse?" Chloe raised her eyebrows at the boy, looking rather offended.
"I'm sorry Chloe, I love you, don't hit me." Jesse mockingly cowered away before laughing, giving Chloe a playful nudge.
"And now we've got Emily too so your asses are so getting kicked." Stacie announced, clicking her fingers at the boys. Emily smiled at Stacie, at least someone apart from Aubrey was helping her fit in.
"Now girls I wouldn't get too ahead of yourself." Mr McKay chuckled as he returned to the board and wrote 'acapella' underneath 'Girls vs Boys' "When I was in the show choir, we didn't use instruments or any backing tracks."
"What's the fun in that?" Bumper asked.
"You see acapella brings you closer together as a group because you have to really listen to each other so you don't mess one another up." Mr McKay explained. "So I'm giving you a timed challenge. All you have to do is work together and sing a song fully acapella. Girls, you can stay in here, boys go through to the classroom next door. I'll leave and come back in twenty minutes. Good luck."
As Mr McKay and the boys left the room, the girls formed a circle with their chairs as they quickly started mustering up some ideas.
"I can handle this, I'm a DJ." Beca smugly sat back in her chair and Aubrey furrowed her brow at her.
"That's got absolutely nothing to do with acapella." Aubrey pinched the bridge of her nose.
"What the hell got on your tits today?" Beca scoffed, rolling her eyes at the moody blonde.
"It's nothing." Aubrey sighed and Stacie raised an eyebrow at her friend.
"Jesse denying sex?" Stacie asked.
"Stacie." Aubrey groaned. "God help me." She muttered.
"Beca's right Aubrey, DJs have a good ear." Emily piped up, making the other girls face her.
"See even the kid knows." Beca said, motioning to Emily. "Listen, Aubrey since you're all pissy I'll let you pick the song." She offered.
"Uh okay. How about Bruno Mars, Just the Way You Are?" The blonde suggested with minimum enthusiasm.
"Okay, great. Everyone stand up, we're so gonna kick the boys' asses."
"Okay Uh, well done boys. It could use some work but it was good for a first attempt. Acapella can be hard." Mr McKay said sympathetically as the boys slumped down in their seats. They had trouble listening to one another and were totally out of time with each other. "Okay girls, let's see what you came up with."
Stacie, Emily, Chloe and Aubrey all stood in a line and Beca stood in front of them face on so she could guide them.
Beca pointed to Aubrey and they both started off the song before she pointed at Chloe to take the lead.
[Chloe]
Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shining.
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her tryin.
She's so beautiful. And I tell her everyday.
Beca knew they had it in the bag but she decided to take it up a level, using her mash up skills to add another song into the mix.
[Beca]
Uh, Uh, I was thinkin' bout her, thinkin' bout me, thinkin' bout us, who we gonna be
([Chloe]I know, I know, when I compliment her she won't believe me.)
Opened my eyes, and it was only just a dream.
(It's so, it's so, sad to think that she can't see what I see.)
(But every time she asks me "do I look okay, you know I'll say)
It was only just a dream.
The girls looked around each other, smiling wildly at how great they sounded. Beca motioned with her finger for Aubrey to join her in the chorus of 'Just a Dream.'
[Chloe]
When I see your face,
([Beca and Aubrey]So I traveled back down that road will she come back, no one knows.)
There's not a thing that I would change. Cause you're amazing, just the way you are.
(I realized, it was only just a dream. it was only just a dream)
When I see your face,
(So I traveled back down that road will she come back, no one knows.)
There's not a thing that I would change. Cause you're amazing, just the way you are.
(I realized, it was only just a dream. it was only just a dream)
When I see your face
([Aubrey]Face)
"Wow! Girls where did that come from?" Mr McKay applauded the girls who all took a bow.
"Oh boys, just so you know. Just a Dream wasn't planned, that was an on the spot thing." Beca smirked with a wink.
"I do have to say that the girls have won the challenge! Guys if we really work on this acapella thing it could really help us in competition." Mr a McKay congratulated the girls as his mind raced with acapella ideas. Oh they weren't just going to be any ordinary show choir, they were going to be an acapella group.
Before Emily went to bed that night she decided to write an entry into her diary.
Dear diary,
Today was my first day at Barden. Everything's just happened all of a sudden, I started a new school and now I'm in the show choir with Aubrey and all of her friends! They seem great though, Jesse and Chloe are the sweetest, Stacie's really nice too, she's trying her best to help me fit in. Beca seems a little closed off from me though, I don't know why but Aubrey and Stacie say she'll come around. I heard she writes songs too which is pretty cool, and apparently she DJs too? Maybe I can get her to help me with my song.
Emily.
Just a little intro for Emily, what do you think of her? I will be taking a time jump to when Beca goes to Florida with Chloe.
I feel like some of you have lost interest, are y'all still there? :, (
