Chapter 19: Who Run The Worlds?
"Oh, so you're the group whose ass we're going to be kicking tomorrow?" Chloe bobbed her head confidently at the tall blond standing in front of them.
"You?" Kommissar glanced at Chloe before returning her full attention to Beca. "You do not look like you have the capabilities to be kickers of ass."
"Oh yeah?" Beca glared right back, Kommissar just smirking at her. "Well you...are like a fucking Amazonian princess and your legs are ridiculous." Chloe whipped her head to stare at her girlfriend and her superbly incompetent trash talk. Kommissar grinned proudly down at her legs and struck a pose for Beca.
"So you like my figure, little one?"
"Just because you're basically physically...flawless...doesn't mean I like you."
"Your eyes say a different story." Kommissar stepped a little closer. Chloe glared daggers into her as she invaded Beca's space. "Or are you jealous because you are just...so tiny?"
"I'm not tiny, I'm fun sized!" Beca whined in an uncharacteristic way.
"I could have much fun with you, munchkin." Kommissar's grin grew to a full smile.
"Too bad you won't." Chloe finally stepped in. "You'll be too busy crying your tears over losing at the World's."
"We do not know the meaning of the word lose. Except when defining those like you, Bellas, who seem to be very well prepared to be losers." Kommissar didn't even flinch at Chloe, but kept her eyes burning into Beca. Fat Amy noticed the interaction going down and motioned for the other Bellas to join her in supporting Beca and Chloe.
"Germany doesn't know the meaning of the word lose?" Beca scoffed, finding some confidence. "Ever heard of World War 2?" Chloe nodded proudly at her girlfriend.
"And Germany hasn't even produced a decent singer since David Hasselhoff!" Fat Amy added as she came up behind Beca.
"Ah, if it isn't Fatty Patty." Kommissar's co-captain, Pieter, interjected.
"It's Fat Amy you danish douche." Amy put her hands on her hips.
"Ah yes, I've heard the judges have been looking for plus sized models in their criteria for champions. Do you even fit into your costume?" Pieter chuckled.
"She could crush your bony little body in two seconds, twig." Stacie barked back standing beside Amy.
"And I could bone you, little minx. You seem the only Bella who could be an acceptable choice for a strong German like myself." Pieter looked Stacie up and down, smiling devilishly. Stacie was speechless, feeling caught between being flattered, yet defensive for her fellow Bellas.
"If you need consoling after your inevitable demise tomorrow…" Kommissar rested her hand on Beca's cheek. "You can come and find me at the victor's celebration. I may have a tough exterior, but I can be quite skilled at comforting."
"Your hands are…" Beca tried to hide the shiver that went up her spine. "Are soft like fucking clouds." She just looked mesmerized as she stared into Kommissar's eyes.
"Beca?!" Chloe was now irritated, not just with Beca's extreme lack of trash talk skill, but with how she seemed to be flustered with the tall blond.
"You're going down, DSM. Don't cry too much on your flight back to Germany." Aubrey stepped in, trying to salvage some sort of pride for the group.
"You do not frighten us." Kommissar took a step back from Beca. "You amuse us." She giggled softly as she looked over the Bella team standing before her.
"Well don't come crying to me when you're the one who needs consoling tomorrow." Beca jabbed her chin towards Kommissar. "Although I'm a sucker for tears." Her voice faltered. "I'd probably be powerless to your physically flawlessness if you started crying. I mean-"
"What she means is," Chloe interrupted, staring at Beca, who could only sheepishly avoid her eye contact by staring at her feet. "We're going to kick your ass in the Acapella World Champions harder than the U.S kicked Germany's ass in the World War. You're going down harder than Hitler." Chloe nodded confidently in Kommissar's direction.
"Your president is Donald Trump, no? The Russian lover?" Kommissar had a sly grin on her face as she finally looked at Chloe, who just nodded once. "Well then...I expect you will be as inept on stage as he is from your lofty white house."
"Trump has nothing to do with our talent." Aubrey rolled her eyes.
"Nor does Hitler, ours." Pieter glared back.
"May the stronger, more talented group win tomorrow." Kommissar playfully tucked a strand of hair behind Beca's hair. Chloe instinctively slapped the blond's forearm. "But I promise you will be the most beautiful losers." She shot Beca a wink. And with that, DSM turned around in unison and left the bellas standing together, fuming.
"Ignore them. Ignore that interaction." Aubrey waved her hands. "Their only hope is to try and frazzle us. We will own that stage tomorrow. Now, let's pretend that didn't happen, have a good time, then get a good night's rest, okay?" She clapped her hands nervously and gestured for the bellas to dispurse. Chloe sent Beca a mildly terrifying glare before spinning around to follow Aubrey.
The rest of the night went down without issue. Although, Chloe avoided Beca, and only danced with Aubrey. Aubrey rounded up her bellas and led them back to the hotel just before 11. Chloe and Beca walked quietly back to their room. Beca felt the awkwardness radiating from Chloe. She wasn't sure exactly what she had done wrong, but had a feeling it had to do with her reaction to Kommissar.
They entered the room and as soon as the door shut, before Beca could get out an apology, Chloe's lips were on hers. She stumbled back and fell into the door, trying to adjust to the sudden dynamic change. She gasped in shock, giving Chloe the opportunity to let her tongue explore Beca's mouth. She cautiously placed her hands on Chloe's hips, kissing her back, but waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Chloe tugged on Beca's shirt and guided her back to the room. Her hands grasped Beca's cheeks as she tilted her head to deepen the kiss. She kept their lips attached as they walked slowly into the room. Beca walked backwards, holding on the Chloe so she wouldn't fall. Chloe gave her a gentle shove on the bed and leaned in for one last passionate kiss before stepping back.
"Not that I'm complaining." Beca shook her head, catching her breath. "But what was that about?"
"I didn't like how flustered you got with that Kommissar chick." Chloe admitted.
"I know, I'm sorry, I-"
"I just." Chloe stopped her by giving her another long, slow kiss. "Want to make sure I'm the only one who can fluster you that much." Beca looked up at her and swallowed.
"Now." Chloe took a deep breath and patted Beca on the shoulders. "I'm going to take a shower."
"Wait, we're done with that?" Beca sat up quickly.
"To be continued." Chloe shrugged as she entered the bathroom. Beca flopped down onto the bed and let out a frustrated sigh.
The Bellas were standing backstage, Aubrey nervously pacing. Stacie was anxiously filing her nails. Fat Amy stomping in circles, remembering her days of crocodile wrestling. Lilly just stood motionless in the corner waiting for their turn to go on stage. Jessica and Ashley were talking quietly to each other to soothe their nerves. Chloe had snuck Beca behind a curtain to plant a quick kiss on her.
"You've got to stop doing that." Beca groaned.
"What? Kissing you?" Chloe asked playfully.
"No, kissing me and then leaving me high and dry."
"I believe you've done far worse to me." Chloe cocked an eyebrow, hoping it wasn't too soon to joke about their previous one night stand.
"Funny." Beca shot her a playful glare. "Are you ready for this?" She nodded toward the stage.
"I was born ready." Chloe nodded once in confidence as they walked back to join the rest of the bellas. Chloe made what Beca could only describe as a growling sound when DSM sauntered over before they took the stage.
"Bellas!" Kommissar exclaimed sarcastically. "So nice to see you before we take the World's crown."
"May the aca-gods smite you." Aubrey galred back. Beca and Chloe just looked at her like she was crazy.
"And my favorite Bella." Kommissar took a large step to stand in front of Beca. She rubbed her hand along Beca's cheek. Chloe wanted to slap the girl, but had to restrain her. Beca swallowed hard, doing her best to show she wasn't flustered.
"Will you come congratulate me when I raise the trophy?" Kommissar batted her eyelashes at the smaller girl.
"I'll be the one who will be needing congratulating, thank you very much." Beca folded her arms.
"Congratulate...console." Kommissar shrugged. "I can do either one." She gave another stroke to Beca's cheek, causing Chloe's blood to boil.
"Your hands smells like...cinnamon!" Beca blurted out. Earning a slap in the arm from Chloe.
"Thank you." Kommissar winked and started to walk off with her group.
"You're going down! We're not afraid of you! Go back to Germany! Aca-wiedersehen, bitches!" Beca was now flailing her arms and shrieking at an octave not usually associated with the brunette.
"Okay, come back." Chloe grabbed her arm and pulled her back to the Bella huddle. "Cinnamon, really?" She whispered, glaring at Beca.
"What? I hate cinnamon." Beca whined a little. "It was supposed to be an insult."
"We'll work on it." Chloe rolled her eyes and patted the shorter girl's shoulder.
DSM performed an amazing performance. They were nearly flawless and their vocals were intimidating. The Bellas were up next and they watched the crowd cheer and applaud wildly. Beca stood at the front with a frown and crossed arms. She quickly spun around to face the rest of the Bellas.
"Okay, they were good. Whatever. We will be better. We worked so hard for this, we earned it. Let's get out there and show them who really runs the world, okay?"
"This is for us, you guys!" Chloe added.
"Hands in, bellas." Aubrey took a deep breath as they leaned in for their ritual huddle.
As DSM marched past them, Kommissar shot a wink at Beca. "Good luck." Beca just scrunched her nose and refused to speak, lest she blurt out something else embarrassing.
"Aww...she is like a baby bunny, with her twitching nose." Kommissar giggled as she playfully poked Beca's nose with her index finger, turning to Pieter.
"Cute little bunny. We shall send you a muffin basket as a consolation prize." Pieter ruffled Beca's hair. Beca angrily shook him off.
"Perhaps mini muffins, for the miniature human." Kommissar patted Beca like a child before walking off.
"I hate them." Beca mumbled.
"Ignore them." Chloe grabbed her by the arm. "Focus. We got this." Chloe nodded confidently as the Bellas lined up to march onto the stage.
Lights are out and slowly flicker to life with each stomp of the Bellas who are stomping and clapping in beat to Queen's "We Will Rock You"

All other Bellas: Believer!
(They finish in a V pattern, holding their fists in the air, and panting for breath but still smiling)
When all the lights came on and the applause started thundering throughout the stadium, the Bellas all started wrapping each other in hugs. Chloe even planted a kiss on Beca's cheek, because that isn't unusual behavior for the outgoing redhead. Fat Amy punched her chest and raised both arms in the air to encourage more applause. The bellas took their time leaving the stage, soaking in the largest arena and audience they'd ever performed for.
DSM watched with frowns on their faces as they saw the judges nodding and smiling to each other. As the bellas walked by Beca made a crude gesture at her lady business and Fat Amy gave the middle finger salute to Pieter.
When it was announced that the Bellas were World Champions of Acapella, the screams from the group could've burst a few eardrums. Aubrey broke down in tears and Fat Amy had to half carry her to the stage for them to accept the trophy.
"Shawshank! This trophy's almost taller than you!" Fat Amy held up the trophy beside Beca. Beca didn't even care about the short joke she was so happy. Chloe wrapped her arms around the brunette and whispered in her ear so no one could hear, "I wish I could kiss you right now."
Beca blushed as she stepped back to give her girlfriend a wink. She caught DSM in the corner of her walking away from the stadium like puppies with their tails between their legs. Stacie came up behind Beca and ruffled her hair. "Way to go, DJ!"
"Beca! We did this as a family, but we wouldn't have been able to come together like this without you." Aubrey wiped a tear from her eye as she wrapped the brunette in a tight hug. Beca was just about at her hug quota for the night, despite the special occasion.
The Bellas partied for most of the night. Aubrey had to corral all the girls together well past 2am to make sure everyone made it back to the hotel safe. Sometimes she really hated being the mom of the group. Beca and Chloe had managed to have quite a bit to drink and get a little handsy. But they weren't too far gone to still be on alert to not give the Bellas any suspicions.
Once they got back to their hotel room however, they couldn't keep their hands to themselves. Their kisses were sloppy and their hands fumbled around clumsily. Beca landed hard on the bed and Chloe on top of her, bumping their foreheads. They giggled as they rubbed the sore spots on their heads.
"Sorry." Chloe giggled uncontrollably as she reattached their lips. Beca felt her hips start rolling rhythmically with their kisses. Chloe got into a more comfortable straddling position as Beca reached for the hem of her shirt. Beca paused for a moment when Chloe leaned down to start sucking on her neck.
"Hey, Chloe, wait." Beca whispered. Her brain still had a little bit of control even though the rest of her body was screaming at her to keep this going.
"Hmm?" Chloe murmured against Beca's skin.
"We're both really drunk." Beca tilted her head back to get a good look at Chloe. The words seemed to sober the redhead up.
"Yeah...we are."
"I know you wanted to wait. And...I don't want our first time to be some horny drunken time." Beca winced, hoping she didn't hurt Chloe's feelings.
"I hate to remind you, but we've already had a first time." Chloe grinned sadly.
"You know what I mean." Beca let her hands keep rubbing Chloe's back.
"I know." Chloe let out a deep breath as she pushed herself up from the straddling position. "Our second first time should be more romantic. Less drunk."
"Yeah." Beca swallowed, her body still on fire.
"Umm...is it weird if…" Chloe bit her lip as she turned to look at Beca. "Um...if I take a shower and umm...relieve myself?"
"Dude!" Beca couldn't stop herself from laughing.
"What?" Chloe reached over and slapped her on the arm. "You get me all hot and bothered, what do you expect?"
"No, its totally cool. I'm flattered." Beca grinned smugly.
"Shut up." Chloe rolled her eyes and pushed herself off the bed.
"Hey." Beca jumped off the bed and grabbed Chloe's arm before she reached the bathroom. "I love you." They leaned in together for one more kiss. Their bodies were like magnets so they didn't pull apart as quickly as Beca had planned. Chloe let her body fall into Beca's as she grabbed her cheeks. Beca quickly took a step back when she felt Chloe's tongue slip into her mouth.
"Alright, Beale." Beca closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Enjoy that shower." She winked as she returned to the bed.
"Best. Vacation. Ever." Beca whispered to herself as she fell back on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
