I'm obsessed with the new broadway Anastasia Soundtrack. When I was listening to this song I was thinking this could be a cute Bechloe interaction. Just imagine Chloe as Anastasia and Beca as Dimitri?
In this story Beca is older than Chloe...
One Shot 28
In A Crowd Of Thousands
Beca jerks up from her peaceful sleep when a loud scream fills the small room she shares with Chloe. She sits up and hears the soft sniffles from the redhead's side. She takes a deep breath and gets up from her bed and quietly makes her way to the crying girl.
Chloe tries to stifle her cries but fails once again when she feels Beca's arms around her. "Shhh it's ok, it was a bad dream. You're safe here." Beca rubs the redhead's back and waits for her to calm down. It takes quite some time but eventually the sobs and whimpers are a distant memory.
Beca holds in a heavy sigh, thinking back to everything that happened the past week.
Jesse and her were looking for someone to play the part of the long lost princess and shockingly they found someone who not only resembles the princess but also shared the same name. It was a strange coincidence but who was she to complain.
They had taught her how to walk, talk and eat like a princess. Chloe seemed to take to all of it as a fish to water. The only downside was that Beca started to develop feelings for the bubbly redhead, something that would not end well since she would never see her again if everything worked out.
"I'm sorry I woke you up."
Beca gets pulled back to reality when she hears Chloe's sweet, innocent and tired voice. "That's ok, I don't mind." The brunette looks down at the tearstained redhead and her heart hurts at the sight. "Do uh do you want to talk about it?" Chloe sits up from the embrace, both missing the contact instantly. "I don't know, it's just that it seemed so real... like a memory."
Beca cocks her head to the side with a thoughtful frown. "How about you think of a happy memory instead? I mean it used to work for me, maybe it will work for you too?" Chloe shrugs and lets out a sigh. "That's the problem, I don't remember anything. I don't have any happy memories." Beca thinks about it for a moment and thinks of an alternative. "How about I tell you one of my happiest memories?" Chloe's eyes light up and a smile creeps its way up. "Y-you would really do that?" Beca nods. "Sure, and whenever you are scared you can think of this one and it might cheer you up." Watching the excited expression on the young girl's face give Beca the courage to tell her story.
"It was June, I was ten. I still think of that day now and then." Beca chuckles. "A parade and a girl... and a crowd of thousands." She sees Chloe close her eyes, trying to imagine the story. "She sat straight as a queen, only 8 but so proud and serene. How they cheered, how I stared in that crowd of thousands. I started to run and called out her name as the crowd went wild. I reached out with my hand and looked up, and then... she smiled." Beca watches as a blissful smile washes over the beautiful redhead. "The parade travelled on, with the sun in my eyes she was gone. But if I were still 10, in that crowd of thousands I'd find her again."
"You make feel like I was there too." Beca lets out a warm, genuine laugh. "Maybe you were... why don't you make it part of your story?" Chloe thinks about it. "If you really don't mind?" Beca shakes her head and urges Chloe to go on.
*Flashback*
It was a warm and sunny day in June. No clouds could be seen for miles, it was the perfect day for a parade. Thousands of people came out to see the royal family.
Chloe is sitting on the left side of her carriage, next to her grandmother. She really tries to contain her excitement but it's really hard. She sits up as straight as she can nodding at the passing crowds, occasionally waving. Suddenly a young girl, not much older than her caught her eye. She was thin and not too clean. The young brunette managed to dodge the guards and made herself seen in that crowd of thousands. It was hard not to let out a giggle.
She called out my name and started to run, the heat and crowd not even bothering her slightly. I couldn't hold it anymore and let a smile come over my face. The young brunette surprised me by bowing before me. The parade didn't stop though. The young girl disappeared in that crowd of thousands.
*End Flashback*
Beca's heart beats out of her chest as the realization hit her. She had not told the redhead about how she looked or what she wore. She definitely did not tell her about the bow. "I-I didn't tell you that." She manages to stutter in a quick breath.
Chloe slowly turns around to face Beca. Never in a million years did she think that she would remember anything from her past but now... now everything is coming back to her. The girl she fell in love with at a young age was right there before her. Just like on the day of the parade she needed Beca to help her realize what she needed. Back then it had been a real reason to smile and now... now she remembers who she truly is. "Y-you didn't have too, I-I remember!" She watches Beca's face drop and just like that faithful day the brunette bowed down to her.
No matter what feelings Beca harbors for the redhead none of it could ever come out. A princess you never love a poor ex-soldier. If she only knew that the feelings were mutual.
"Your Highness..."
