AK stands outside the door that reads PP4. She's knows she agreed to do this again, but the sick feeling she has in her stomach tells her that she made the wrong decision. I mean she hasn't even seen a script or been told what the plot of the story. This was a really bad move. She hadn't seen Brittany in months. They hadn't even spoken. What was she thinking, agreeing to do this to herself.
Sure she'd like to believe that it had been months and she was over her, but the truth of the matter was when you love someone as much as Anna did Brittany, it takes more than just a few months to get over it. She takes a deep breath and goes to open the door.
"Hey" comes from behind her."Long time no see."
Anna's hand freezes. She'd know that voice anywhere. She takes a big breath and turns around to see those eyes that have haunted all of her dreams.
"Hey Brit." Her heart sinks and sky rockets at the same time. How can one person make you feel so much with just one look. "How are you?"
"I'm really good, looking forward to seeing all the girls again. It's feels like it's been years since everyone been together. Can't wait to see what we get up to this time."
"So you haven't seen a script either?" asks Anna
"No but does it matter. We are all together again. I wouldn't care if we were singing against aliens this time. I'm just happy to be back."
Anna can feel herself thawing; she can't seem to help herself sinking into Brittany's excitement. "Yeah it's good to be back."
Brittany steps forward and envelopes Anna into a hug that last longer than it should. "I've missed you." Brittany whispers into Anna's hair.
Anna's arms rise of their own accord and grips Brittany tightly "I've missed you too." After a long while they pull back. "Shall we?" Anna asks as she open the door.
"We shall." Brittany says as she grabs Anna's hand to walk into the room.
"Bloe" shouts Rebel as they enter the room. "Everybody loves a good Bloe."
Everybody in the room laughs, including Brittany, but all Anna can do is look down and blush. Brittany beams, she loves that joke. She likes the fact that they have a ship name, she likes that they have a couple of ship names. Bechloe and Bloe but her favourite is Sendrick but she has never told anyone that. It makes her think of what could have been if she had been brave enough. It didn't matter now of course because now she had Tyler. He had promised he had changed and she decided to give him another chance.
It didn't mean that he had her heart, well he has some of it, of course he did, but there is a big part that belongs to another person. A person that she never expected to come into her life, a smart, funny beautiful woman who just set up a home in her heart without an invitation.
She was tired of waiting for something to happen and she was tired of being scared to do something about her feelings. She was just so tired of it all that when Tyler had shown up and the end of filming for PP3, it was an easy and safe choice to take him back. He would never really be able to hurt her again because he had broken her before. She was stronger now when it came to him. And if he ended up braking all his promises it wouldn't matter.
She had been lonely enough to even let friends set her up on blind dates and they were bad, really really bad. But she had hoped that someone would spark and interest and something might come from it, but she wasn't surprised when nothing happened, she wanted Anna and no one could compare to her.
There were only two seats left free in the room and they happened to be next to each other, but before they take their seats, the rest of the girls jumped up and engulfed them into a group hug. There was a lot of crying and kisses being given out and Anna finally found herself getting excited. She really had missed these girls and it was good to be back. She looked over and seen that Brittany was smiling at her, yeah it was good to be back.
"Welcome ladies to PP4." Elizabeth says. All the Bellas cheer and high five each other. "I want to thank all of you for coming back. I know so of you had other commitments that you had to put off for this and I appreciate it. But It shows me that when I first chose you all to be in PP1 and 2, I made the right choices. I have seen you friendships grow and continue outside of our little bubble and I love it"
"We're Pitches baby." Yells Rebel, causing the rest of the girls to laugh.
"Right we are." Agrees Elizabeth. "So I know all of you have come here without even seeing a script, you have just come back on the love of being with each and making music with just your mouths" the girls giggle "But as Chloe elegantly said during PP3 "We like to keep it strictly oral" we don't have script."
"What?" asks Hailee
"We don't have a script. We do have a guideline of what we want the story to be and where it is headed. But we also want it to be as natural as possible so we are leaving it up to you about how you make it work."
Aca excuse me?" states AC
"Well we are going to tell you what the story is that we want to tell, but we want you all to be the ones to get us there. You all know each other well enough to be able to do this. You know your characters inside and out. It should be easy."
"Does the studio know this is how we are doing this? Ask Kelley
"The studio knows that we are a big money maker for them, that we have a strong fan base that will support the movie. They trust you to give them what they need. They trust we will give the fans exactly what they want." States Elizabeth
Anna K stiffs uncomfortably in her chair, she doesn't like where this is heading. Brittany on the other hand is next to her is listening with rapt attention, she hasn't have this type of freedom before when making a movie, only when she had been producing.
"And what do the fans actually want? Asks Shelly
"What everyone wants, Bechloe." States Elizabeth smiling widely
