CHAPTER 1:
On June 8th, Aubrey and Chad were in their bedroom packing their suitcases.
"How fun will this be?" Chad asked,
"Us Bellas spending ten days in Copenhagen," Aubrey added.
"Yeah. It'll be great to see where the Bellas became World Champions. But have you given some thought as to what we're going to do over the course of ten days?" Chad asked.
"Well, I did an online search last night and found a few places we can visit," Aubrey explained.
"Sounds good. I'll go see how Finn's doing with his packing," Chad said before exiting their bedroom.
In Finn's bedroom, Finn was doing his packing when Chad came in the room.
"Hey, buddy. How's the packing coming along?" Chad asked.
"Good, so far," Finn said as Chad got a closer look.
"Only three outfits?" Chad asked, curious.
"Yeah. Isn't that enough?" Finn asked.
"Oh, no; we're going to be gone for ten days. You'll need a lot more outfits than that," Chad said.
"Okay. Will you help me pick some out?" Finn asked.
"Of course," Chad said as he did so.
Meanwhile, at Alice and Ken's house,
"Are we really going to Copenhagen?" Grace asked, struggling to fit everything in her suitcase.
"Yes, we are," Alice said.
"I just hope this trip will be worth it. You have no idea how many strings I had to pull to make this possible," Ken said.
"That rough down at the precinct?" Alice asked.
"Four other guys wanted to take off around the same time, so I made a deal to switch shifts with one of them," Ken explained.
"Well, that's good at least," Alice said.
"Mommy, this suitcase is so full I can't even close it," Grace said, frustrated.
"Here, you could put some of your stuff in mine," Alice offered.
Alice took some of her daughter's clothes into her own suitcase before helping Grace close up hers. Once everything was settled, they were ready for their trip.
"So what are we going to do in Copenhagen?" Grace asked.
"Well, I'm sure there'll be a lot of places we'll be going to. I even heard Aubrey and Chad mentioning something about a zoo," Alice said which got Grace really excited.
"A zoo? Can we go there?" Grace asked.
"I'll call them up right now and find out," Alice said as she went into her bedroom and made the call.
"Hey, Alice," Aubrey said, answering.
"Hey, Aubrey. Since you and Chad were preparing the itinerary for our trip, can we add a trip to that zoo you were mentioning?" Alice asked.
"Sure. I think that's a great idea," Aubrey said.
"Oh, that's good. Grace's 7th birthday falls during the trip and you know how much she loves animals," Alice explained.
"Oh, well in that case, how about us Bellas throw Grace a birthday party while at the zoo?" Aubrey suggested.
"That sounds like a great idea. Can you make it happen?" Alice asked.
"I'll look up the number when we get to the hotel and see if we can work something out," Aubrey said.
"Great. Keep me posted either way," Alice said.
"Will do. Later," Aubrey said, hanging up.
Alice was excited about the possibility of throwing her daughter a birthday party at the Copenhagen Zoo. She was debating on whether or not she should tell Grace about it or have it be a surprise.
Meanwhile, Aubrey texted all of the other Bellas that a possible birthday party would happen during the trip. They were all excited to the point where they all rushed to buy birthday cards.
