TRANSFERRING MY LOVE
Prompt from FanFiction User ElectronisZappa: High School AU [see the end for the full prompt; I don't want to give anything away].
"Beca!" Chloe squealed when she opened her front door and saw her best friend standing there.
"Hey, Chloe," Beca said, hugging Chloe.
"How was Germany?" Chloe asked as she led Beca into the living room.
"It was good," Beca said. "But, I am glad to be back home."
"So, tell me everything," Chloe said as they sat on the sofa facing each other.
"Um, could we maybe go get ice cream?" Beca said, twisting her fingers. "I want to talk to you about something."
"Sure," Chloe said, looking concerned. "I'll just let my mom know."
Chloe got up and went to the kitchen to tell Charlotte Beale. Charlotte walked out with Chloe, and Beca stood and faced the two women.
"Beca, it's good to see you," Charlotte said, pulling her into a hug. "We've missed you around here."
"It's good to see you, too, Mrs. Beale," Beca said.
"Chloe tells me you're going to get ice cream," Charlotte said. "Why don't you plan to have dinner with us later? I want to hear all about Germany, too."
"I'd like that," Beca said. "I'll let my mom know. Thanks."
"No thanks needed, dear," Charlotte said. "You two have fun."
"Thanks, mom," Chloe said as she and Beca walked out the door. "Do you want me to drive?"
"Um, no, I'll drive," Beca said, pulling out her keys.

Beca was quiet on the short ride to the ice cream parlor. Chloe was chatting about some of the things Beca missed while in Germany.
"Wait," Beca said, having caught the end of something Chloe said. "Aubrey Posen and Stacie Conrad are a thing now?"
"Totes," Chloe said. "They started dating just before Christmas."
"Huh," Beca said as she parked outside the ice cream shop.
Beca and Chloe ordered their ice creams and sat at a table outside. Beca sighed and twirled her ice cream in her cup. Chloe watched Beca as she licked her ice cream.
"Are you okay?" Chloe finally asked.
"What?" Beca said. "Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I want to tell you something, but I'm scared of how you'll react."
"You can tell me anything, Becs," Chloe said. "You know that."
"I know," Beca said. She fiddled with her fingers for a minute and took a deep breath and let it out. "Okay, here goes. I realized something about myself while I was in Germany, and it scared me. Um, I had a fling while I was over there."
"Really?" Chloe said, her smile not quite reaching her eyes. "Who's the lucky guy?"
"Not a guy; a girl," Beca said, watching for Chloe's reaction.
"You had a fling? With a girl?" Chloe asked, her mouth suddenly dry.
"Yeah."
"So, what you're telling me is your bi?"
"No. I'm gay."
"Oh."
"Are you okay?"
"What? Yeah, sorry, just trying to wrap my head around you with a girl."
Beca looked down at her melting ice cream. "Oh, um, is that a problem for you?"
"What?" Chloe asked. "No, Beca. You know I'm not like that. So, do you like this girl from Germany? Are you two going to keep in touch?"
"No, She was just a fling," Beca said. "I guess she was my sexual experimentation partner. I don't have any feelings for her."
"Is she pretty?"
"Yeah."
"But you don't have any feelings for her?"
"No, I don't."
"That's good, Chloe said. "I mean it would be hard if you like her and she's in Germany,"

Beca spent most of the summer with her friends. Getting together every chance they could. The day before school was to start, Beca picked Chloe up for their traditional "end of summer ice cream" date, a tradition they had started when they were moving on from elementary school to middle school.
Only, this time, Beca had something she wanted to ask Chloe. Beca took Chloe to the same ice cream shop, and they both got their 'regular' order. They were sitting at a table outside the shop.
"Um, so school starts soon," Beca said.
"I know," Chloe said. "We're going to be Seniors. I can't wait."
"Yeah," Beca said and cleared her throat. "So, um, I was wondering-"
"Chloe!" "Beca!"
The two girls looked to see several of their friends coming toward them.
"Hey, Brey," Chloe said when her best friend, Aubrey, made it to the table.
"Beca, are you okay?" Beca's best friend, Stacie, asked.
Chloe looked over to Beca to see a very pale Beca staring behind Stacie with wide eyes.
"My tiny maus," a female voice with a German accent called out.
Chloe looked behind them at an attractive tall blonde woman and then back at Beca.
The blonde moved to Beca and bent down to kiss her. Beca turned her head slightly, so the kiss landed on the corner of her mouth.
"What the Hell?!" Chloe said.
"It is good to see you, my tiny maus."
"Wait, you know Beca?" Stacie asked.
"Intimately," the blonde responded with a smirk.
"Beca, what does she mean?" Chloe asked. "Who is this, this, person?"
Beca sat, still frozen, and couldn't even mumble out a reply.
"This is Kommissar," Aubrey explained. "She's a transfer student from Germany. My family is hosting her."
Chloe looked at Beca. "This is that girl you told me about?"
Beca nodded and looked down at the table.
"Oh, so you've been talking about me," Kommissar said, as she ran a hand down Beca's arm. "I knew you couldn't forget me, tiny maus."
Chloe's mouth fell open in surprise; Beca looked at everyone but Chloe.
"Please, don't touch me," she said, looking at Kommissar. "You gorgeous specimen, you."
Beca cringed as her friends "Oooohed."
"So, you two met while Beca was in Germany?" Jesse asked.
"Yes, we did," Kommissar said, smiling at Beca.
"I thought Beca liked Chloe," Ashley mumbled.
"She does," Stacie whispered back. "But, it appears Beca might have had a thing with Kommissar while she was in Germany."
"Jessica, would you take me home, please?" Chloe asked without looking at Beca.
"Sure, Chloe," Jessica said.
"Wait," Stacie said. "We were all going to hang out since this is our last day of summer vacay."
"Yeah, Chloe," Aubrey said. "You should stay and hang with us."
"I don't think that's going to work for me," Chloe said. "Jessica, you stay. I'll get an Uber."
"Chloe?" Beca said, looking at the redhead. "If you want to go home, I'll take you."
"That's okay," Chloe said. "I wouldn't want to take you away from your reunion with Kommissar."
Kommissar grabbed Beca around the waist and pulled her toward her. Chloe blinked back tears as she turned and walked away.
"Chloe, wait," Aubrey called out.
Chloe walked farther away from the group before she stopped and waited for Aubrey to catch up to her.
"Are you okay?"
"No," Choe said, wiping her eyes. "Remember how I told you Beca said she was gay and had a fling with a girl while she was in Germany?"
"Yeah."
"That's her."
"Kommissar? And Beca?"
Chloe nodded her head and wiped her tears.
"Oh, Chloe," Aubrey said. "I am so sorry. I know how much you like her."
"I was going to ask Beca out tonight."
"What can I do?"
"I just want to go home," Chloe said.
"I'll take you," Aubrey said. "I'll let Stacie know I'll meet up with her after."
Aubrey took out her phone and sent a text to Stacie. She looked back at the group and saw Stacie looking at her phone.
"Let's go," Aubrey said.
~ 2020 BeChloe Valentines - Transferring My Love ~
Chloe's first day as a High School Senior was not going the way she had planned. Kommissar was in every class she and Beca were in together. And Kommissar made sure to sit next to Beca in every class.
By the end of the day, Chloe was more depressed than the day before. After her last class, she was putting her books away in her locker when she saw Beca hurrying toward her.
"Chloe," Beca gasped, trying to catch her breath. "I'm glad I caught you."
"What do you want, Beca?" Chloe asked, shutting her locker.
"Why are you mad at me?" Beca asked.
Chloe sighed. "I'm not mad at you."
"Then why did you leave me last night?" Beca asked. "And why haven't you spoken to me at all today?"
"Kind of hard to do with your girlfriend hanging all over you," Chloe muttered. "I have to go. Brey is waiting for me."
Chloe hurried away, leaving Beca standing by her locker.
"Girlfriend? What?" Beca mumbled, confused.
~ 2020 BeChloe Valentines - Transferring My Love ~
Chloe made it to the door to exit the school. She stopped when she saw Aubrey standing by her car with Stacie and Kommissar.
"Shit," Chloe muttered.
"You okay, Chloe?" Jessica asked.
"Can you give me a ride home?" Chloe asked. "I need to talk to somebody, and Aubrey's got a car full."
"Sure," Jessica said. "Come on."
Jessica and Chloe walked out of the school. Chloe turned her head when Aubrey called out to her about taking her home.
"That's okay, Brey," Chloe said. "Jessica's giving me a ride. I'll call you later."
"Okay," Aubrey said and turned to the others standing with her. "I guess we can go then."
Chloe let out a breath and continued to Jessica's car. Once they were settled, Jessica drove out of the school parking lot.
"So, what's going on?" Jessica asked, glancing at Chloe.
"I like Beca," Chloe said.
"I know," Jessica said.
"I hadn't done anything about it because I thought she was straight," Chloe said. "Then she comes back from Germany and tells me she's gay. She figured it out over there and had a fling with Kommissar."
"I got all that from last night," Jessica said. "What's the problem?"
"Kommissar is the problem," Chloe said. "She's in every class Beca, and I are in. She made sure to sit next to Beca, and Beca let her. I think their 'fling' was more than Beca let on. Kommissar acts like their a couple."
"Oh," Jessica said. "Did Beca say they were a couple?"
"No," Chloe said. "Beca said she was just a fling."
"Sounds like Kommissar has the wrong impression of what they are," Jessica said. "Which doesn't surprise me."
"What do you mean?" Chloe asked, looking over at Jessica.
"Okay, think of it like this," Jessica said. "We all know how awkward Beca is. So, she's getting ready to come back to the U.S. They have the "talk" of will we or won't we keep whatever it was they had going. Beca being Beca probably word vomited awkward all over the place without actually telling Kommissar she wasn't interested in continuing their relationship once she came home. Kommissar mistook the awkwardness for Beca being nervous about having a long-distance girlfriend. And I'm sure Beca thought she gave a very comprehensive denial and truly doesn't have any feelings for Kommissar at all."
"Oh, my God," Chloe said with a laugh. "That sounds spot on. I need to talk to Beca."
Jessica stopped in front of Chloe's house. Chloe reached over and hugged Jessica.
"Thanks, Jess," Chloe said. "I'll see you tomorrow. Oh, and thanks for the ride."
"See you tomorrow, Chloe," Jessica called out and drove away.
~ 2020 BeChloe Valentines - Transferring My Love ~
As soon as Chloe got into the house, she sent a text to Beca. Chloe smiled when she got Beca's reply.
Chloe arrived at the diner before Beca. She sat and waited nervously for Beca to show up.
"Hey, Chloe," Jessica said, spying the redhead sitting alone. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm meeting Beca," Chloe said nervously. "I'm going to talk to her and ask her out."
"Good for you," Jessica said.
"I took care of the check, babe," a voice said from behind Jessica.
Jessica's eyes widened, and Chloe smiled.
"Hey, Ashley," Chloe said as the brunette moved from behind Jessica.
"Oh, um, hi, Chloe," Ashley said.
"So, you two?" Chloe asked. "Congratulations!"
"Thanks," Ashley said with a smile.
"Please don't say anything to anyone," Jessica said. "We like being able to be together without all the drama surrounding new couples in our group."
"I won't say anything," Chloe said as she looked out the window. "Oh, there's Beca. You guys might want to leave because you know if she sees you, everyone will know."
"Let's go, Ash," Jessica said, grabbing Ashley by the arm and heading toward the back exit.
"See you later, Chloe," Ashley called out.
Ashley and Jessica disappeared just as Beca came into the diner.
"Hey," Beca said and sat across from Chloe.
"Thanks for meeting me," Chloe said.
"What did you want to see me about?" Beca asked, her eyes downcast.
"I wanted to apologize for my behavior," Chloe said, causing Beca to look at her. "I was jealous."
"Jealous?" Beca asked. "Of what?"
"Not what, who."
"Okay," Beca said. "Who were you jealous of?"
"Kommissar."
Beca was surprised; she was not expecting that answer.
"Why?" Beca asked. "Are you afraid she's going to steal your best friend away or something?"
"In a manner of speaking," Chloe said.
"Don't worry about it," Beca said. "You and Aubrey are like sisters. No one can get between that."
"What? No, I. Ugh!" Chloe sputtered. "I'm jealous of Kommissar because of the thing you two had when you were in Germany."
"Oh," Beca said. "I thought it didn't bother you."
"The fact that you're gay doesn't bother me," Chloe said. "The girl you 'experimented' with to get to that point does. It bothers me because I like you as more than a friend."
Beca's eyes widened in surprise, and a smile came to her face. "Do you want to go to the movies with me on Friday night?"
It was Chloe's turn to be surprised.
"Are you asking me out? On a date?"
"Um, yeah?" Beca answered. "Is that okay?"
"It's more than okay," Chloe said. "I've wanted to ask you out for a while now. I'm surprised you asked me."
"So? Does that mean you want to go out with me?"
"I'd love to," Chloe said.
~ 2020 BeChloe Valentines - Transferring My Love ~
Chloe's second day as a High School Senior was so much better than her first. She walked into her first-period class and saw Beca, and her smile grew wider. As she started to walk over to Beca, she was almost knocked to the floor when Kommissar rushed past her.
Kommissar immediately went to sit next to Beca. Chloe's shoulders dropped, and she headed for another seat.
"Chloe!" Beca called out, causing Chloe to turn and look at her. "Over here. I saved you a seat."
Chloe's smile was back as she went to sit next to Beca.
"Thanks, Becs," Chloe said as she looked around and saw Kommissar glaring at her. "Did you tell Kommissar you were saving this seat for me?"
"Well, yeah," Beca said, shrugging her shoulders. "I mean, I'd rather sit next to you than her."
Chloe is so happy she wants to cry.
The rest of the week goes by, and Chloe is up and down with her feelings. Some days, Kommissar forces her way between Beca and Chloe; Beca isn't quite sure how to handle her, so she does nothing.
It's Friday, and Chloe doesn't care what Kommissar does because tonight is her first date with Beca.
"I can't decide what to wear," Chloe whined as she went through her closet.
"You could wear a paper bag, and Beca would like it," Stacie said, laying across Chloe's bed.
"She's right," Jessica said. "Beca likes you, and anything you wear will be fine."
"Stacie, where's Aubrey?" Chloe asked. "She usually helps me with this stuff."
"Her folks told her she had to take Kommissar with her if she went out," Stacie said. "She didn't want to, so she stayed home."
"Kommissar," Chloe spit out. "She's really getting on my nerves. She won't leave Beca alone, and Beca doesn't say or do anything about it. How am I supposed to build a more than friends relationship with Beca if Kommissar is always getting between us?"
"Aubrey's had enough of Kommissar, too," Stacie said. "Her arrogance is grating on Aubrey's nerves. She walks around Aubrey's house as if she owns it. And Aubrey's folks don't know how to deal with her either."
"You'd better hurry up, Chloe," Jessica said. "Beca will be here any minute."
"Shoot," Chloe said, looking at the clock. She grabbed some clothes and held them up to her. "What about this?"
"I like it," Stacie said.
"That's it," Jessica said.
Chloe hurriedly got dressed and was finishing her hair when she heard the doorbell.
"She's here!" Chloe squealed and checked herself in the mirror before rushing out the door.
"Beca's not going to know what hit her," Stacie said with a laugh as she and Jessica followed behind Chloe.

A few months go by, and it's the day before Christmas Break. Beca is standing by Chloe's locker so she can walk her to class.
"My mom wants to know if you want to spend Christmas Eve with us," Beca said. "We usually do up a big dinner and open one gift."
"I'm sure it will be fine," Chloe said. "I'll have to ask my mom. And she wants to know if you and your mom want to come to ours for Christmas dinner."
"I'll ask," Beca said.
"Come on," Chloe said, taking Beca's hand. "We're going to be late."
They hurried to their first class and sat next to each other. Chloe groaned and frowned when Kommissar sat directly behind Beca.
"Hello, my tiny maus," Kommissar said, leaning over Beca's shoulder.
"Could you please stop?" Chloe said. "Beca is my girlfriend. She isn't your anything."
"Oh, but you are wrong," Kommissar said with a smirk. "I was her first. Something you will never be able to claim."
Beca blushed as Chloe turned to face Kommissar with a big smile on her face.
"That may be," Chloe said. "But I will be her last. You know, as in she was saving the best for last."
Beca nearly choked on air as Kommissar scoffed and sat back in her seat. Chloe winked at Beca and faced the front of the class.
"I think that shut her up for a little while," Stacie leaned over and whispered.
~ 2020 BeChloe Valentines - Transferring My Love ~
New Year's Eve found Chloe and Beca broken up. Chloe got upset at a party she and Beca attended together when Kommissar kissed Beca under some mistletoe.
Beca kissed Kommissar back and made out with her a bit before pushing her away. Chloe saw them and left the party in tears. Beca knew she messed up, but nothing she did could get Chloe to talk to her so she could make it up to Chloe.
Their friends took Chloe's side because they all consider what Beca did cheating on Chloe even though Kommissar initiated everything. They all think Beca should have put a stop to Kommissar's endless flirting, and she should have pushed Kommissar away instead of continuing the kiss.
Beca and Chloe were both miserable, and neither knew how to fix things.
Early February found Chloe sitting with her friends at lunch. Her once bright blue eyes were dull and sad. Her smile dimmer and absent more than it was present. The topic was the same as it's been since the breakup - Beca and Chloe.
"Do you still want to be with Beca?" Aubrey asked Chloe.
"I, I don't know," Chloe said. "I'm hurt, but I still lo- um, like her a lot. If Kommissar weren't around, I know we'd still be together."
"I'm sorry," Aubrey said. "I told her to stay away from Beca. But she's one of those people who thinks she should get everything she wants and she wants Beca."
"What does Beca want?" Jessica asked.
"Chloe," Ashley responded.
"If she wanted me," Chloe said. "She would never have kissed Kommissar back."
"It's Beca," Ashley said. "She just got caught up in something and couldn't process what was happening. I think you should talk to her and see what she has to say."
"I'm with Ashley," Jessica said. "We've all seen how much she cares about you."
"I have an idea," Stacie said at lunch one day. "The Valentines Dance is in a few weeks. Ask her to go with you."
Chloe looked over to where Beca was sitting with Jesse, Benji, and Emily. She knew Emily didn't approve of what Beca did but wanted Beca to have someone she could talk to if she wanted to.
Chloe sighed. "I'm going to go see if she'll talk to me."
"We're here if you need us," Aubrey said.
Chloe nodded her head and stood up. She took a deep breath and started walking over to Beca. She stopped halfway when she saw Kommissar put her arm around Beca's shoulders from behind and lean down as if to whisper in Beca's ear.
Chloe felt the sting of tears in her eyes and turned and rushed out of the cafeteria.
"Chloe," Aubrey called out as she rushed after Chloe.
At the same time, Beca shoved Kommissar away from her, causing the taller girl to fall to the floor.
"I told you to keep your hands off me," Beca snarled down at her.
Beca grabbed her backpack and stormed past Kommissar and hurried out of the cafeteria. Emily jumped up to follow her.
~ 2020 BeChloe Valentines - Transferring My Love ~
That night, Chloe was in her room with Stacie, Aubrey (sans Kommissar), Jessica, and Ashley.
"Beca did that?" Chloe asked as Stacie told what happened after Chloe rushed out of the cafeteria.
"Yeah," Jessica said. "We all saw it."
Ashley laughed. "Kommissar looked embarrassed when she got up. Everyone was laughing, and no one went to help her."
The girls chuckled at that. Chloe almost felt bad for Kommissar; that is until she remembered that Kommissar was the reason she and Beca weren't together.
"Look, Chlo," Aubrey said. "The four of us are going to the Valentine's Dance together in a limo. There's room for two more. Talk to Beca. Ask her to the Dance and come with us. I bet she'll say yes."
Chloe was stopped from answering by a soft knock at her door. The door opened and Mrs. Beale came in.
"Chloe, there's someone at the door for you," Mrs. Beale said.
"Who is it?" Chloe asked.
"Why don't you go down and find out," Mrs. Beale said with a smile.
She turned and left the room.
"Maybe it's Beca," Jessica said with a smile.
"Not likely," Chloe said as she made her way to the door. "I'll be back."
The girls looked at each other and collectively stood to follow Chloe. Chloe, and the girls, stopped midway down the stairs when they saw Beca standing by the door.
"Hey," Beca said as soon as she saw Chloe.
Chloe continued down the stairs and walked over to Beca. She stopped about two feet away.
"Hi," Chloe said and crossed her arms.
"I'm sorry, Chloe," Beca blurted out. "I have no excuse or explanation for what I did. I just got caught up in the moment. And I'm sorry."
Chloe's heart broke when she saw the tears in Beca's eyes.
"You really hurt me, Beca," Chloe said softly. "I could have easily forgiven you if it had been anyone else. But, that was the girl who-"
Chloe stopped and wiped at her eyes.
"I know," Beca said. "She doesn't mean anything to me. But, you do." Beca closed the distance and took Chloes' hands. "I miss you, Chlo."
"I miss you, too," Chloe said softly.
"Go in for the kiss, Beca," Stacie whispered; the other girls shushed her so they could hear.
"Can we start over?" Beca asked. "We could go get ice cream and talk."
"I'd like that," Chloe said and smiled. "But, I have the girls over and-"
"We'd love to get ice cream," Aubrey said as the girls hurried down the steps to join Beca and Chloe.
"Um, we kind of want to talk," Beca said. "Privately."
"We know," Stacie said. "But, Kommissar has a way of knowing where Beca is, so we'll be your Security team and keep her away from you if she shows up."
"That's not a bad idea," Beca said. "What do you say, Chlo? Ice cream and talk?"
Chloe nodded. "I need to tell my mom."
"We'll meet you two there," Aubrey said. "I'll take the girls with me."
The four girls left, and Beca waited for Chloe.
~ 2020 BeChloe Valentines - Transferring My Love ~
On Valentine's Day, the dance was in full swing, and Beca and Chloe were dancing to a slow song. Chloe pulled back and muttered, "What the Hell?"
Beca turned to see what Chloe was looking at. She was a bit taken aback when she saw Emily with Kommissar, and they were holding hands.
"Well, I guess I don't have to worry about that German bimbo coming after you anymore," Chloe said, glaring at the blonde.
"I think I just fell in love with you," Beca said with a laugh.
"I love you, too," Chloe said, kissing Beca as they continued to dance.
A/N: The last bit with Emily and Kommissar was so I could get all the bonus points (what can I say? I'm very competitive).
ElectronisZappa's full prompt: My idea is kinda simple, Beca did Junior year of high school as an exchange student in Germany where she and Kommisar had a fling. Senior year Kommisar comes to Barden high as an exchange student and competes with Chloe to win Beca's affection. As usual, bonus points for Staubrey and Jashley, and maybe Emily gets a girlfriend?
