Hi Guys... Sorry this has taken me so long. I know you have all been eagerly awaiting for the riff-off. I've decided to leave it to the next chapter for Aubrey and Beca to talk and as you guys will see, I have changed it so Beca wins the riff-off for the Bellas instead of loses it. It will help out for the conversation with Aubrey next chapter.

Sorry again for the long break between chapters but yeah I've been busy. Please sure to review though and I'll strive to get a new chapter out to you all soon. I do a lot of shift work and it's insane cause I'll crash out normally when I'm done working plus Friday and Saturday nights I have my other job as a DJ to go to so I'm working around 50 hours a week and getting not much sleep, I've also just recovered from being sick so please be patient with me, I am trying.

Anyways I give you the riff-off chapter.


The Bellas waited eagerly at the Barden pool, waiting for the riff-off to start. Chloe starting to worry because Beca had not yet shown up. She had found Beca and spoken to her, expressing her wish for the brunette and blonde captains to work things out. Beca had admitted that she may have crossed a line and wasn't in the best headspace yesterday before apologising and promising to be at the riff-off.

"Hey, sorry I'm late." Beca whispers behind Chloe making the redhead jump. Beca laughed slightly at how easily Chloe was to scare ignoring the pain in her ribs. Michael had called that morning for Beca to take a contract, she succeeded obviously but swore internally as she realised the time, practically sprinting back to Barden to make it to the Riff-Off, she did promise Chloe after all. She had also promised to speak to Aubrey, her head wondering why seeing as everything she said about Aubrey was correct but Chloe telling her that the blonde wanted to talk to her also which peaked her interests. So she made the promise to talk to the captain for Chloe.

"Beca, you're late." Aubrey states firmly. Beca turns around to face none other then the blonde dictator herself.

"Yeah sorry, I got caught up with something and practically sprinted a marathon to get back in time. I wanted to make sure I was here for the team if I'm still apart of it. Beca replies and Aubrey softens up slightly, noticing that Beca was still recovering her breath from running. She didn't know how fit Beca was but Chloe always mentioned that she worked out all the time so she would have to be fit meaning she would have run pretty far to be breathing heavy.

"Well you did make it so let's do this thing and then you and I can talk." Aubrey adds and Beca nods before eturning back to Chloe.


The four acapella groups had all met in the empty pool of Barden University. An alarm sounds and Justin from the auditions and hood night moves to the middle.

"Welcome to the Riff-Off." He announces, Aubrey turns around after just explaining the rules to everyone in the group.

"Who's ready to get vocal?" Justin yells out and all the teams and the small audience cheer. Beca looks around at the crowd like everyone is crazy. She glances over at Jesse who is standing with his Trebles.

"We're going to beat you." He yells to the Bellas and Beca shakes her head, opening her arms out and yelling back,

"Bring it Douchebag!" The Bellas all smirking before copying Beca's movements. Jesse opens his arms too and just glares straight into Beca. Beca remaining unphased by the look that would most likely murder, it was a challenge, may the best team win. Justin runs the projector mode of his phone revealing a spinning wheel.


"The first category is: Ladies of the 80's." He says as the wheel stops. Aubrey squeaks before running into the middle, obviously with a song idea, only to have the Trebles stamp their feet down.

Oh Mickey , you're so fine

You're so fine, you blow my mind

Hey Mickey (hey hey), Hey Mickey (hey hey),

Oh Mickey, you're so fine

You're so fine and you're mine

Aubrey retreats back to the Bellas corner, signaling her annoyance with a vocal 'whatever'. Jesse watches over Beca like a hawk as he jumps around and dances, amusing Beca before the Treblemakers are interrupted by the BU Harmonics singing Madonna… Again.

I'll be yours till the end of time

Cause you make me feel

Yeah, you make me feel

So shiny and new

Like a virgin

Touched for the very first time

Like

Beca listens at surprisingly how cool it was to be able to blend songs together by jumping over the top with the same lyrics. Aubrey pricks up and calls for the Bellas to huddle up as she announces to back her up while she goes in with 'Hit Me with Your Best Shot.' The Bellas all agree and Aubrey steps forward at the right time matching the lyric 'like.'

Like the one in me

Thats okay

Lets see how you do it

Put up your dukes

lets get down to it

Hit me with your best shot

Why dont you hit me with your best shot

Hit me with your best shot

Fire away

Bumper watches on unamused by the performance, the other Trebles trying to think of another song when one of the High Notes stands up and makes her way to the middle.

Away Ay

It must have been love

But it's over now

But it's over right now

Everyone booed and laughed at the High Notes singer and Justin steps in behind her.

"The negative side effects of Medical Marijuana folks. You are…" He states before everyone claps and yells

"Cut off!" The High Notes continue to laugh and Beca reminds herself to make sure she never goes near them, the last thing she needed was marijuana affecting her assassin work.


"Let's check out our next category." Justin says as she brings up the spinning wheel on the side of the pool again. Beca walks up to Chloe.

"Hey, so we just pick any song that works?" She asks and Chloe nods without a smile or anything which is unusual for the redhead. Beca knows that Chloe is mad at her.

"Yeah." Chloe replies as Fat Amy comes up and stands next to Beca, even a little too close for Beca's liking.

"And you just go with it?" Beca asks Chloe and again a simple nod for an answer. Beca had an idea immediately but she had to wait for the right time. It was going to win the riff-off for the Bellas, earn their trust and kick Jesse's and the Treblemakers asses.

"Songs about Sex!" Justin finally announces and Aubrey pipes up.

"Sex?" She says like she didn't know what it was making Beca laugh. She watches as Donald from the Treblemakers makes his way forward obviously with a song when Cynthia Rose pushes her way to the front of the Bellas, breaking out with S&M by Rihanna.

Na na na

Come on

Na na na na na

Come on, come on, come on

The Bellas jump in to back up their team mate as Stacie steps up as well and she and Cynthia Rose start practically humping each other. Stacie glances back to Beca who is watching wide –eyed and gives her a wink. Beca snaps out of her daze, shaking her head and giving the leggy brunette a quick wink back.

Cause I may be bad

(Come on Come on)

But Im perfectly good at it

( I like it like it come on)

Sex in the air

I dont care I love the smell of it

( I like it like it come on)

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But chains and whips excite me

Cause I maybe bad

(Come on Come on)

But Im perfectly good at it

( I like it like it come on)

Donald and the Trebles jump in over the top and Cynthia Rose returns to the other Bellas while Stacie stands up the front with her arms crossed over her chest while Donald sings.

Sex baby

Lets talk about you and me

Lets talk about all the good things

And the bad things that maybe

Lets talk about sex

Alright

Lets talk about sex

A little bit, a little bit

Lets talk about sex, baby

Aubrey steps up and tries to pull Stacie back to the group when Stacie flicks up her index finger.

"I got one." She turns back around and comes in over the top of Donald.

Baby, all through the night

I'll make love to you

Like you want me too

And I

The crowd begins to cheer and Fat Amy jumps out, backing up Stacie when Jesse jumps forward and interrupts the two girls hastily with It Feels Like The First Time by Foreigner. The Bella's groaning as again they have to think of a new song. Stacie turns around and walks back to the group.

And I guess its just the woman in you

That brings out the man in me

I know I cant help myself

You're all in the world to me

It feels like the first time

It feels like the very first time

It feels like the first time


Beca watches on and she knows the song she wants to do and it would work she was waiting patiently, but as Jesse looks at her, his glare blazing, it felt like a challenge to the assassin, oh and did Azrael love a challenge. Beca suddenly feels a spurt of confidence and runs forward while the rest of the Bellas are talking amongst each other, probably trying to work out another song. Stacie glances up and sees her friend run forward, she smirks.

"Check it out." She whispers to the others and the rest of the Bellas turn around as Beca breaks out with No Diggity, being careful to match the word correctly, changing it to 'It'.

It is going down, fade the Blackstreet

The homies got RB collab' creations

Bump like acne, no doubt

I put it down, never slouch

As long as my credit could vouch

A dog couldn't catch me, straight up

Chloe and the rest of the Bella's jaws all hit the floor as they listen to Beca rap. Half of them also trying to work out what song she is rapping exactly. Chloe doesn't care though, she just listens as Beca continues, almost falling in love with her all over again.

Tell me who could stop when

Dre making moves

Attracting honeys like a magnet

Giving 'em eargasms with my mellow accent

Still moving the flavor with the homies

Blackstreet and Teddy

The original rump shakers

Beca turns back to the Bellas with wide eyes and look that is saying "Help Me," a massive grin on her face which makes Chloe and Stacie smile.

"Keep Going." Benji yells out from the crowd. Aubrey glares at Beca and plays back the lyrics in her head. "

Rump shaker?" She questions. Beca throws up her arms and continues, hoping the Bellas will pick up the song.

Shorty get down, good Lord

Baby got them open up all over town

Beca listens as a few people in the audience cheer and woo her. Fat Amy finally clicking to the song and jumping forward to help Beca out. Chloe also clicks onto the song and calls the Bellas together to help with the backup. Beca hi-fives Fat Amy as she passes her walking back to the Bellas. Fat Amy sticking up a middle finger at the Trebles to add to the humor.

Strictly biz she dont play around

Cover much ground, got game by the pound

Getting paid is a forte

Each and every day true player way

I can't get her outta my mind

I think about the girl all the time

Beca starts bobbing and jumping around as she hi-fives all the other girls except Aubrey. Cynthia Rose hitting a long harmonizing note. Stacie moves forward and wraps an arm around Beca's shoulders and continues singing.

I like the way you work it

No diggity, I got to bag it up

Baby

I like the way you work it,

No diggity, I got to bag it up

Baby,

Beca watches as Donald bobs his head along with her singing, completely memorized by Stacie. The BU Harmonics jump in with the audience and start singing back-up for her and she escapes Stacie's grip to do a lap around the pool.

(Heyo,heyo,heyo,heyo)

I like the way you work it

No diggity, I got to bag it up

Baby

I like the way you work it

No diggity, I got to bag it up

I like the way you work it

No diggity, I got to bag it up

Babe

I like the way you work it

No diggity, I got to bag it up

Beca walks back in behind the Bellas and they part through the middle for her as she hits the finishing lyric.

We out!


The crowd, BU Harmonics and all the Bellas start cheering and jumping around. The Bella wraps their arms around her in a collective group hug and Beca pulls out of it quickly which doesn't go un-noticed by certain redhead and blonde captains. Beca looks over to Jesse.

"I mean you're welcome." She calls out sarcastically and he throws his arms up angrily in defeat, glaring at the whole group but focusing on Beca, she had made enemies that night. Justin steps forward.

"The Treblemakers failed to counter making the winners… The Barden Bellas!" He says and the crowd erupts into cheers, the Bellas squealing much to Beca's discomfort and pulling her in for a group hug. Beca notices Jesse still standing where he was, the rest of the Treblemakers were gone. Beca decides to go talk to him.

"I'm sorry. It was an awesome riff-off but the better team won." She says to Jesse and he just turns and starts to walk away but not before calling out a response over his shoulder.

"You and your team better watch your backs from now on." He says before continuing to walk away. Beca standing still for a moment. Was that a threat? She decides to push it aside and return to the group.


"Before everyone goes to bed tonight I need you to make a list of everything you did wrong." Aubrey states, glaring directly at Beca like she did something wrong when everyone knows that she just won the riff-off for the Bellas. Beca chooses to glance over and see Fat Amy run over.

"I'm going to milk that cabbage patch kid." Fat Amy whispers harshly, earning a small laugh from Beca knowing it was about Bumper. Beca steps forward and interrupts Aubrey.

"You guys, what we just did was great right?" She asks and earns several nods from her teammates including Chloe who still doesn't show a smile in Beca's direction.

"Calm your pits Beca. We may have won but we still have a lot to work on." Aubrey argues back and with everything that was building the blonde Hitler and her plus the fact that they should have won, Beca decides now is the time to argue back again.

"Yeah but it was spontaneous. It was awesome. We were actually listening to each-." Is all Beca managed to get out before Aubrey cuts her off again. Beca rolls her eyes and Stacie notices Beca's disapproval and anger next to her.

"Okay everyone. Hands in. On my count." Aubrey directs and Stacie steps forward.

"On three or after three?" She asks and the Bellas break out into discussion.

"Why can't we figure this out?" Stacie finally gives up.


So there you have it.

So yeah, Aubrey and Beca will talk in the next chapter. How will that turn out do you think?

Also someone is going to find out about Beca in Chapter 19, chapter 20 will be the aftermath of whoever it is finding out. Who will it be? Fat Amy? Stacie? Aubrey? Chloe?
