Sorry this is short
Things calmed down a little after initiation night. Beca had been more present in the house, helping Chloe and she seemed to be happier instead of moody. The Bellas were all relieved, they hated having a moody and distant Beca.
They were now going to a car show that they were supposed to be singing in if it wasn't for the accident at Kennedy Center and Das Sound Machine stealing their tour. This was supposed to be theirs, it was supposed to be the Bellas singing at the Ford Car Show, not DSM.
They were watching. And for the first.. 5 seconds they didn't feel threatened at all. But then it happened.
Shit, they were good. More than good, they were awesome! But of course none of the girls was willing to admit that anytime soon.
Chloe practically had steam coming from her ears as she watched. If looks could kill, DSM would all be on the floor right after their performance. She watched a tall blonde girl look at them and smirk before the group made their way over to the Bellas.
"Barden Bellas! You came here to see us?" the blonde said. "Is that because you are.. how do the American kids say? Jelly!"
Chloe scoffed.
"We are so not jelly." she said.
Beca was just watching the girl, looking her up and down. She was incredibly tall but boy, she was hot. Beca shook that thought from her head. No, she wasn't hot. Not even attractive. She just wasn't.
She tried to sound confident when she told DSM that the Bellas would kick their ass, but when the Kommissar stepped closer to her, her confidence was gone. She mentally slapped herself when she called the blonde 'physically flawless'. And then she made a complete fool of herself by making crazy hand gestures when they left.
"Okay. We gotta do something." Fat Amy said.
"Not just something we have to do something amazing to beat them!" Stacie said.
"Guys, guys, calm down! We got this." Beca said and Chloe eyed her curiously. "I have a plan."
oO0Oo
Chloe had a small smile as she fixed her hair for rehearsal. She put on her shoes and made her way to the small auditorium where the Bellas rehearsed. She was usually the first one to arrive but this time the brunette captain was already there looking through her laptop.
"Oh! Hey Bec!" Chloe said, surprised.
"Hey Chloe." Beca said, looking up at her briefly.
"What a pleasant surprise." Chloe smiled, putting her bags down. "I've been meaning to ask you, how are you and Jesse?"
"We're good now, thanks." Beca offered her a small smile.
"Good." Chloe said and approached the DJ. "So? Any ideas on what we're going to sing?"
Beca sighed and put her elbows on the table and rested her head on her hands.
"Not a clue." Beca admitted with a sigh.
Chloe chuckled.
"Maybe we can work on new moves, maybe throw in some props!" Chloe said excitedly. "And that will give you time to work on some arrangement."
Beca hummed in thought.
"That's a good idea." she said.
"Okay." Chloe smiled.
Beca sighed, giving up on trying to think of something, it wouldn't happen there. She then stepped back from the laptop.
"Guess we have to wait until the girls arrive." Beca said.
"Yeah." Chloe said as she wrote Das Sound Machine in huge letters on the board with anger. "Hey, what was up with you complimenting the Kommissar?"
Beca groaned and then chuckled.
"I don't even know." she confessed with a shrug. "It doesn't matter."
Chloe raised an eyebrow.
"Beca, is there something you'd like to tell me?" Chloe asked.
"No." Beca said.
Chloe put her hand over Beca's, making the girl look up at her.
"You know you can talk to me about anything right? Anything at all." Chloe said.
Beca looked at Chloe's hand before looking up to meet the redhead's eyes. Chloe was offering her a sympathetic look and a small smile. She found herself staring back at Chloe's eyes for probably longer than she should have and when she realized that, she cleared her throat.
"Yeah. Thanks, Chlo." she said.
Chloe smiled at the nickname and took back her hand when the other girls came in. She saw Beca blush a little and look down while Cynthia Rose smirked at Chloe.
"Well girls, sit down. We've come up with a plan." Chloe said and she and Beca stood at either side of the white board.
Beca wasn't exactly listening to what Chloe was saying, she was just concentrated on getting her heartbeat to slow down.
"Beca?" Chloe called, wanting her to pay attention.
"Oh." Beca said. "Yeah. So we're gonna just rehearse some new tricks we want to try for the next gig we have."
"Whoa, we gave a gig?" Stacie asked excitedly.
"Yeah!" Chloe answered, just as excited.
"That's awesome! So what are we gonna sing?" Stacie asked.
"Umm I'm still finishing the arrangement, so it'll still be a while." Beca said and the girls nodded.
Chloe clapped.
"Let's get started aca-bitches!" Chloe said.
During the entire rehearsal, the Bellas did the hula hoop, forward rolls, tricks with all kinds of props and stuff, which made Beca think what kind of arrangement she could do.
She was collecting her laptop after rehearsal, she was in a hurry to get out of there.
And that's when Legacy approached her.
"Hey! Is it weird that we didn't get around to sing today?" She asked.
"Well we don't have an arrangement yet and that's on me so thanks for reminding me." Beca said. There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice that the younger girl didn't get.
"Yeah Bec we're gonna need that ASAP so we can start nailing down the choreography." Chloe said, grabbing her stuff too.
"Right on top of that, Chlo." Beca said.
Beca was about to leave when Legacy continued talking to her. She was starting to get agitated.
"I don't mean to be rude it's just I have somewhere I that I have to be." Beca explained as she began to leave. "You did great today."
Emily smiled as she watched Beca leave.
