GUEST Stan: Can you do one where Beca and Chloe meet in a train. They both think the other person is beautiful. They steal glances, blush and smiles. But they don't get to talk to each other. They are on each other's minds every day since then. A year passes and their paths meet again and this time they won't waste the opportunity and they never let each other go.

This prompt was amazing, thank you for trusting me to write something you might like hehe!
The Last Train
One Shot 38
Chloe really hates leaving her work pile up so she had to work overtime to get all the paperwork done. It was a very long day at the clinic and she's exhausted. Matters aren't made better when a drunk guy in the almost railway wagon starts slurring things at her. She tries to ignore it but it gets pretty hard when the guy gets up and stumbles towards her. Oh shitballs he's coming over what do I do? The redhead tries to scoot away but is stopped by a wall. Nononono he's coming closer.
Panic is written all over her face. She never shies away from someone's touch and will always talk to someone if they started talking to her. But this guy freaks her out in all the extremely wrong ways. "Hey sugar, whatcha doin alone?" The man slurs. "Uuuhhhmmm I uh …" Chloe is at a loss for words. This never happens. "What's wrong sugar, no need to swoon over Johnny." The cocky way he says is and the disgusting smell oozing of off him are making her nauseous.
"Chloe?!" The redhead looks u at the mention of her name and sees an extremely beautiful brunette stand up from the other side and walk up to her. She looks familiar but can't remember where she knows her from. "I thought it was you, I thought you were going to text when you were on your way." The brunette steps in between the drunk guy and herself and sits right next to her. She puts an arm around her and presses a soft kiss on her cheek and whispers: "Play along."
Chloe freezes up. A complete stranger just kissed her and offered to 'fake date' (?) her. She watches as the brunette turns to face the drunk man with a smile. "Is there something I can do for you? If not I'd like to be alone with my girlfriend." The man – Johnny – huffs and shakes his head. Even in his drunken state he knows not to mess with someone else's girl. So he walks back and steps out of the wagon awkwardly waving the girls goodbye.
The two stay silent for a few minutes while the subway starts moving again. Chloe accidentally puts her head on the brunette's shoulder. She lifts her head in embarrassment when she realizes what she did. "I'm sorry I don't know why I did that." She lets out a light chuckle as the brunette pulls her arm back and turns to face her. "That's ok, it was my fault anyway." Chloe instantly misses the touch but tries to hide it. "No, it's ok, thank you for doing that by the way."
"You're welcome, Chloe." The redhead raises her brow. It completely slipped past her the first time the brunette used her name but now it was really hard to miss. "H-How did you?" The brunette's face goes from a happy smile to a confused grimace to a face that finally caught on to what was going on. And that all in a matter of seconds. "Oooooh yeah no, sorry I'm not a creep or something. Your coffee cup uhm it says Chloe so I kind of assumed. I'm sorry I should have not done that huh?"
Chloe cuts off the brunette with a laugh. "It's ok, you saved me from that guy so I guess I can let it slide." The brunette wants to say something but the announcement of the next stop interrupts her. Shortly after the train comes to a stop. "Oh shoot, this is my stop." The brunette stands up and moves towards the exit. "It was nice meeting you and stay safe."
Chloe chuckles at the adorable brunette and realizes too late that she never asked her for her name. "Wait, what's your- name." She lets out a frustrated sigh. It's too late now anyway. And the worst part is that she fell for the brunette in this short time and won't ever see her again. The only thing she can do is call her best friend and talk to her about it. So she takes out her phone and dials the number.
*Phone Call*
Aubrey: "Chlo, what's wrong?" The blonde sounds tired.
Chloe: "Hey Bree I'm sorry for waking you up, I know it's late but you'll never believe what just happened."
Aubrey: "What happened?"
Chloe: "I'm on my way back from work and this drunk guy starts bothering me an-"
Aubrey: "Wait, what? Are you alright?"
Chloe: "Oh yeah I'm great because something amazing happened."
Aubrey: "Please don't tell me you're going out with the drunk guy? Chloe he can be cute but that's never a good option."
Chloe: "What? No! Nonononono I'm not going out with him."
Aubrey: "Thank god! So? What happened?"
Chloe: "Well, so this guy was bothering me and this girl got up and saved me."
Aubrey: "How did she save you?"
Chloe: "If you're let me talk I would tell you…"
Aubrey: "Sorry, continue."
Chloe: "Okay, so this brunette shouts my name and walks up to me. When she reached me she put her arm around me and kissed me on my cheek."
Aubrey: "Okay but I need to interrupt for a sec… she kissed you? And how does she know your name?"
Chloe: "Only on the cheek and it was written on my to go coffee cup. The guy left and she kept her arm around me for a bit longer."
Aubrey: "Are you going to see her again?"
Chloe: "Uh no, that's kind of where it went wrong. She had to get off her stop and I never asked her name."
Aubrey: "Oh sweetie, I'm sorry. Maybe you'll see her again?"
Chloe: "Maybe.. you know what's weird?"
Aubrey: "No, what?"
Chloe: "I have a feeling I've seen her before."
Aubrey: "What do you mean?"
Chloe: "I don't know… maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me, I think I really like her."
Aubrey: The blonde lets out a laugh. "Down girl, down."
Chloe: "Alright, I'm done talking about this if you're going to tease me."
Aubrey: "That's fine, I'll come over this weekend and you can dish all you want and you're not getting rid of me."
Chloe: "I wouldn't want it any other way, and while we dish about my none existent love life we can talk about you and what was her name? Oh yeah, Stacie!"
Aubrey: "Fine, fine…how about we have a sleep over this weekend? We can pig out on pizza and watch cheesy rom coms. Just like the old times."
Chloe: "That's a date, I'll take care of the movies and pizza."
Aubrey: "I'll bring the wine."
Chloe: "That's a date."
Aubrey: "Great, now let me sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow, there's a new group coming in."
Chloe: "Ok, good night Bree."
Aubrey: "Good night, Chlo."
*End Phone Call*
A LITTLE OVER A YEAR LATER
Aubrey and Chloe are at going down the escalator at LAX. Aubrey's girlfriend was going to pick them up and take them to her best friend's house before going out to get some lunch. They were invited to go to an awesome concert that Stacie scored tickets and backstage passes too. Producer / singer songwriter / DJ B-Mitch is performing and it's the highlight of the year. It's the first time anyone will ever see the face behind the music.
For 3 years people have been wondering who the mystery woman is. Chloe has been crushing on the voice ever since the first time she heard her. B-Mitch had produced so many top hits and no one knew what she looked like. Even the artists she worked with wouldn't give anything up. The wait was almost over. And they would have front row seats.
Aubrey points to something in the distance, and the only reason Chloe notices is because the blonde's arm almost hit her in the face. "Bree what's wrong?" Chloe asks when she doesn't seem to see what her friend is trying to get her to see. "It's Stacie, she's here." The blonde rushes down the last few steps, leaving Chloe behind with the suitcases. The redhead watches her best friend run towards a tall brunette and getting picked up by her.
Chloe rolls her eyes at how adorable the couple is. Somewhere inside she wishes that she could have something like that. She hasn't been in a relationship ever since meeting the mystery brunette on the train. Aubrey has tried to get her mind of off her but nothing has worked. She really got it bad for her. She even decided to take the last train back home everyday just in case the brunette shows up again. Over a year later and still no luck.
The redhead makes her way to the hugging couple while hauling the two large suitcases behind her. She stops a few feet behind the couple and watches with a happy smile. After a few minutes of being totally ignored the redhead has had enough. "Okay, I love that you guys are so cute together but if we want to get some dinner in before the concert we'll have to leave sometime today." The two break apart with somewhat embarrassed grins. "Sorry Chlo, I just really missed Stacie."
"That's ok, I totally understand. Hi, I'm Chloe by the way, I'm glad to finally meet you Stacie." The redhead holds out her hand and the tall brunette gladly accepts. "It really is, I've heard so much about you." Aubrey smiles because she's happy that her girlfriend and best friend seem to get along. "So my best friend can't join us for dinner because she's being held up at work." Stacie says with a shrug. "Oh yes, the one that is so kind to let us stay at her place."
Stacie nods with a laugh. "Yes baby, she didn't really have a choice though, we live together and I might have blackmailed her just a tiny bit." Chloe chuckles while Aubrey rolls her eyes. "Wait a minute, you're living together with her?" One thing that never really changed in the blonde is her jealousy. "Oh Bree no need to be jealous, I have know her since pre-school. She's like a sister to me."
The tension that was there mere seconds ago leaves the blonde's shoulders. "Sorry, I get a little jealous sometimes." Stacie pulls her girlfriend close and presses a soft kiss to the blonde's temple. "Don't worry baby, you look cute and sexy when you get jealous." Of course this makes Aubrey blush and it gives Chloe more reason to tease her best friend later.
After dressing up for the night the three girls are on their way to the concert venue. Aubrey and Chloe are still thrilled about the fact that they're going there in a limo. "What does your best friend do to be able to afford a huge villa and a limo?" Chloe is rarely someone who beats around the bush and now is no exception. "She owns her own company for about 4 years now, it really started to blossom around 3 years ago. She's doing really well." Stacie explains. "That's great, but now I'm even more curious to meet your mysterious best friend."
"Oh don't worry, you'll meet her tonight." Chloe claps excitedly. "Watch out babe, Chloe has a type." This spikes the brunettes interest. "Oh really? Tell me about it." The redhead rolls her eyes and tries to shush her best friend but fails. "She has a thing for mysterious women, that's why she hasn't dated in a year." Chloe actually hisses at Aubrey while Stacie laughs. "Now I really need to know what's up."
Aubrey sits up straighter and turns to face her girlfriend. "Alright so about a year ago Chloe was harassed on a subway and this brunette walked up and saved her. She didn't stop talking about this gorgeous blue eyed angel for a whole month. Even now she compares everybody to her, it's really annoying at times but you get used to it." Chloe tries to reach for Aubrey, trying to make her shut up but it's too late.
Meanwhile Stacie has been listening with a weird expression on her face. "Hey Stace, are you alright?" The brunette looks up and meets her girlfriend's eyes. "Yeah, yes of course I was just thinking about something." Just as Aubrey want to press further a phone starts to ring. "Oh sorry, that's me. I need to take this real quick." The two other girls wave it off and leave Stacie to her conversation.
*Phone Call*
Stacie: "Stacie Conrad speaking."
Beca: "Sup Stace, I'm glad I caught you."
Stacie: "I always answer when you call B."
Beca: "Yeah right… anyways, I won't be able to meet you and your girlfriend and her best friend before the show, CR needs me to take care of some things."
Stacie: "That's ok, we'll see you later.
Beca: "I'm sorry, I would have loved to meet the woman in your life before everything went crazy."
Stacie: "That's fine, you'll make up by cooking for us tonight."
Beca: "Hold up for a sec, I'll make breakfast but tonight you're getting food at the event."
Stacie: "Fine but I expect lunch tomorrow as well."
Beca: "I can live with that but I really have to get going."
Stacie: "Ok, I'll see you later, have fun!"
Beca: "I will… if I don't faint first."
Stacie: "Just go do your thing."
Beca: "Thanks Stace, you're the greatest friend in the world."
Stacie: "I know, now go and don't make CR wait!"
Beca: "Bye Stace."
Stacie: "Bye B."
*End Phone Call*
Stacie puts her phone away and looks up to be met by two sets of eyes staring right at her. "Oh yeah uhm that was my best friend and she won't be joining us tonight until later… much later." Chloe frowns for some reason she's disappointed. "But… she'll be making it up to us by making us breakfast and lunch." Aubrey raises her brow in confusion. "Yeah uhm she's a really good cook, I have no idea where she finds the time to learn new stuff but man she's a great cook."
The brunette excitedly points out the window "Look, we're here! This is going to be so much fun" The limo stops in front of a red carpet. "Oh yeah surprise…" Stacie says with an awkward laugh. "Uh how do you guys feel about red carpets?" Aubrey and Chloe's jaws drop. "Ok how about you two just follow me and we'll get through this or we can go around back?" The two girls shake their heads. "No we would love to do this, when will this ever happen again."
Stacie lets out a laugh. "Alright, let's get you out there. Oh and I'll send you all the pictures that'll be taken tonight." The two girls squeal and Stacie rolls her eyes. "Alright let's go before you ruin my eardrums." The brunette opens the door and Chloe quicklt follows. They then both wait for her girlfriend to step out as well. The three of them slowly make their way down the red carpet stopping to pose for a few pictures along the way. Chloe even steps aside so the couple could have some pictures alone.
The show is about to start and the three girls are standing in the front row, right in the centre. Chloe is really pumped, this is it, it was really going to happen, They will finally find out who the mystery woman behind B-Mitch is. The crowd is just as excited and aren't kept waiting any longer. "Ladies and gentlemen the moment we've all been waiting for, for 3 years! The one, the only B-Mitch!"
The crowd goes wild as the lights go out the people settle down, awaiting what's going to happen next. No sound can be heard from the stage until a gentle, melodic voice fills the entire room.
Oooh ooh oooh ooh ohohoh
It gets layered by a second voice using a looping system in perfect pitch.
Oooh ooh oooh ooh
And shortly after a third loop is added.
Oooh ooh
And a fourth with some gentle accompaniment in the back ground while some light is being directed at the stage, revealing a figure in the middle.
Hmmm mmm
Oooh ooh
Ah ah ah ah ahah
Ah ah ah ahah
A bright spot light goes on and finally reveals B-Mitch for the first time as she sings George Michael's Freedom! '90.
Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me
Chloe's breath hitches in the back of her throat as she recognizes the woman on the stage. The woman on the train was singing right before her...
To win the race, a prettier face
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll TV
But today the way I play the game is not the same, no way
Think I'm gonna get me some happy
… It all made sense to her now. She thought she knew the woman she met and she did because she had been in love with the mystery voice for a long time before that day. She never thought she would actually meet her.
I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I told you so
There's something deep inside of me
There's someone else I've got to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
Aubrey notices the tears in her best friend's eyes so she leans in to ask her if she's alright. "That's her, that's the woman on the train."
All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
The blonde definitely did not expect that answer and shifts her focus between the redhead next to her and the brunette on the stage for what feels a million times.
I won't let you down, freedom
I will not give you up, freedom
Gotta have some faith in the sound
You got to give what you take
It's the one good thing that I've got, freedom
I won't let you down, freedom
So please don't give me up, freedom
Cause I would really, really love to stick around
She watches as the tiny brunette walks to the front of the stage and smiles down at the crowd.
Heaven knows we sure had some fun, boy
What a kick, just a buddy and me
We had every big-shot goodtime band on the run, boy
We were living in a fantasy
We won the race, got out of the place
Went back home, got a brand new face for the boys on MTV
But today the way I play the game has got to change oh yeah
Now I'm gonna get myself happy
Aubrey notices the brunette's eyes widen as she recognizes Chloe and her smile grows wider. She reaches her arms out to her and shoots her a winks, making Chloe blush.
I think there's something you should know
(I think it's time I told you so)
There's something deep inside of me
(There's someone else I've got to be)
Take back your picture in a frame
(Take back your singing in the rain)
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do now
Is take these lies
And make them true, somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me, yeah
Freedom, I won't let you down
Freedom, I will not give you up
Freedom, gotta have some faith
Gotta have some faith in the sound
I think there's something you should know
(I think it's time I stopped the show)
There's something deep inside of me
(There's someone I forgot to be)
Take back your picture in a frame
(Don't think that I'll be back again)
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
Eh eh eh eh eh (oh)
Eh eh eh eh eh (I will not let you down)
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom (freedom, freedom)
Gotta have some faith in the sound
The crowd goes completely wild as the last few notes fade away. "Thank you all for coming out tonight, this is a huge night for me. I have been hiding behind my equipment and other amazing artists for a long time. I would have never dared to come up here tonight if it weren't for my best friend and manager Stacie Conrad, so Stace thanks for encouraging me. But enough of me talking and let's get this show started because I have much more in store for you guys!" Once again the crowd goes wild and B-Mitch starts performing again.
Two hours, 15 songs, 2 encores and 25 minutes of some cool mixing (included in the 2 hours) later the show is finally over. Stacie leads the way towards the backstage area and tells her two guests to wait in a secluded room with a comfy leather couch. "I'm just going to check on our little star, wait here we'll be back soon."
As soon as Stacie is out of the room Aubrey turns to face her best friend with a giant grin. "Alright Chlo, how are you going to handle this?" The redhead crunches her nose up. "I don't know what you're talking about." The blonde lets out a chuckle. "Come on Chlo, I've known you since forever and the fact that you will finally see your long lost crush again." Chloe groans. "Ok fine, I have no idea what to do Bree. She's perfect and she took it to a whole other level tonight."
"I saw that, you're eyes lit up the second you recognized her. And her reaction to recognizing you was just as amazing." Chloe casts her eyes down to the floor. "Do you really think she recognized me?" She asks in a nervous tone. "Would you believe me if I told I did?" Chloe's head shoots up and Aubrey's scared that she's going to have a whiplash. "I'll give you guys a moment." Aubrey gets up from the couch and awkwardly shuffles her way out of the room in search of her girlfriend who is standing outside the door.
Chloe slowly gets up as well while the brunette closes the door behind the blonde. "So…" The redhead lets out a chuckle. "… I guess I finally found out the name of my mystery savior. DJ B-Mitch?" The brunette lets out a warm laugh that warms Chloe's heart. "Uh no my name is actually Beca, Beca Mitchell." This time Chloe lets out a laugh blushing when she sees Beca's signature smirk that she had been showing all night long. "I thought I'd never see you again…" Beca scratches the back of her head. "… I uh I never stopped thinking about you-huh that was weird I'm going to shut up now…"
"No please, I love listening to your voice… and if it makes you feel any better I never stopped thinking about you either." Beca takes a big step forward so she's now standing directly in front of the redhead. "There's something I regretted not doing a year ago." The brunette takes Chloe's hands and a goofy smile takes its place on her face. "The second I got off that train I wanted to jump back on but I was too late. I wanted to jump back in and ask you out on a date… uhm would you? I mean go out on a date?"
Chloe's face turns red and it easily matches her face. "I-I-I uhm pfffftt okay yeah that's not a great start, but yes … I mean I'd love to go out with you." Beca chuckles at the cute rambling coming from her long time crush. "You're adorable." Beca says with smile and taking another tiny step forward. Chloe follows the brunette's lead and slowly they both lean in. Right as their lips are about to touch there's a knock on the door which elicits a groan from Beca and a laugh from Chloe.
They pull away from each other as the door gets pushed open. "Thank god! My gut feeling was right, this is the girl you've been talking about for the past year." Beca turns around in a flash. "Stacie!" Chloe pulls the brunettes hand and keeps holding on to it. "Oh come on Becs, stop being such a child… Anyway how does that dinner sound now"
"Wait you knew?" Beca asks in confusion. "Our little talk in the limo kind of gave it away." The tiny brunette rolls her eyes with a glint of a smile. "I guess dinner does sound nice. How about you guys go ahead and I'll find CR? When I get home I'll cook us some dinner." The sound of someone clearing their throat catches everyone's attention. "Hey B so I talked to Stacie and we thought it would be a better idea for you to go home for the night and I'll set up some interviews for the coming week." Beca lets out a relieved breath. "Thanks CR you have no idea how happy that makes me, I really don't think I can handle everything tonight."
The other women in the room let out a round of laughs. "We figured." Stacie says in between laughs. "So how about we sneak out through the back and enjoy a beautiful night with even more beautiful company?" Aubrey lets out a long awe and pecks her girlfriend on the lips. Beca turns to face her own date with a nervous smile. "How does that sound to you?" She asks the redhead. "Like the perfect first date…"
