The Barden auditorium was filled that day for the annual a capella auditions. The Barden Bellas, or more accurately Chloe and Aubrey, sat front and center. The trebles sat in the back two rows, while the high notes took the middle, and the BU harmonics congregated by the stairs.
"Hey Aubrey? This was my impression of you last year." Bumper Allen, treble leader, folded his hands together and began making puking sounds. The other trebles laughed. "That should be a lesson to all of us. If you sing the same boring girly shit every year you will blow chunks. Everywhere."
Aubrey shot out of her seat and faced them. "Listen. We will not let egotistical, dirt balls, who ever you are, " Bumper raised his hand acknowledging the insult. "-stop us. We will be returning to the ICCAS this year and we will win."
There was a quick introduction to the auditions done by the two unfortunate boys who couldn't accept that they would never really be a part of the a capella groups, and the audition papers were handed out.
As the auditioners performed, the groups judged them, looking for the perfect additions to their groups. The high notes just pigged out on chips and soda, but the other groups were paying attention, and judging hard.
Fat Amy made an impression by mumbling something about there being no backup dancers. Nevertheless, as soon as auditions had started they were over. Chloe frowned as the groups packed their things. She had really been hoping to see a certain brunette make an appearance. She took one last glance towards the doors, and as she did, who else but Beca sauntered in.
"OH WAIT! There's one more!" Chloe said, ecstatic that Beca had shown. Beca let out a small awkward wave, and Chloe motioned for her to come forward.
"I didn't know we had to prepare that song." Beca said sullenly, hoping that they wouldn't make her do it impromptu.
Chloe shook her head and smiled brightly, " Oh no thats ok Sing anything you want." Aubrey narrowed her eyes at Chloe before looking back angrily at Beca. Meanwhile, Jesse had seen Beca come in and stood in the doorway, wishing to see what she would do.
Beca got down and reached for the yellow cup of pens on the table in front of Aubrey and Chlor. "May i?" She asked, despite already having picked it up.
Aubrey glared skeptically but Chloe assured Beca it was okay. Beca dumped the pens on the table, earning interested stares from everyone in the room, and one hell of a death glare from Aubrey. Aubrey frantically shifted her eyes between Chloe, beca and the now cup-less pens. My pens. Who the hell does she think she is? She cant just dump my pens like that. Chloe...chloe stop her make her put them back.
Beca sat cross legged down on the stage and placed the cup down in front of her. She began tapping a rhythm onto the cup and singing to accompany it.
"I took a ticket for the long way round..." Beca kept her eyes focused on Aubrey and Chloe. Aubrey never let it show, but she honestly thought that the girl had talent. As much as she didn't like her, they could use the talent. The high notes were mind blown that someone could use a cup like that, and the trebles and the BU harmonics simply quietly admired her talent. Both Jesse and Chloe were completely mesmerized by Beca.
As she finished her performance, she looked expectantly at the girls. Chloe knew her vote on the matter, but Aubrey was still hesitant.
"alrighty. Thank you ..."
"Beca."
"Right. thank you beca. you may go know." beca stood awkwardly and handed her the cup. Aubrey forced a noticeably fake smile as she took the cup back, immediately putting the pens back in it. Beca shot a quick nod to Chloe before heading for the door.
Chloe nudged Aubrey, still beaming widely. "Soooo...what cha' think?" They rose from their seats and headed out the auditorium towards the parking lot.
Aubrey shrugged. 'She was fine. I suppose."
Chloe smacked her lips in disbelief. "Fine you suppose? C'mon she was fantastic!" they stopped walking.
"Maybe if you have an uncontrollable toner she was fantastic. but otherwise she was fine." Aubrey smirked and turned away quickly, resuming her walk towards the car.
Chloe's mouth hung open. She paused for a second before she came to her senses again and ran towards Aubrey. " What are you talking about?"
Aubrey smiled knowingly and unlocked the car. She slid into the drivers seat.
"Aubrey for serious!" Chloe opened her door and hopped in. The car started up and Aubrey turned the radio on. "Shut your door please Chlo so we can leave."
'UGHHHHH" Chloe dramatically slammed the door. 'Bree please. I don't have a toner."
Aubrey shot Chloe a "really?' face.
"Chloe, i know you. I know how you get. your totally infatuated with her. every-time you see her your face just screams toner."
Chloe sighed. ' Fine. Fine!" she threw her hands up and looked out the window. "your right. But dont you go playing innocent now!" She pointed a finger excitedly at her best friend.
"Aca scuse me?" Aubrey's voice raised about three octaves.
'You heard me." Chloe nodded vigorously. "you totes had a toner today too. Twice may i add!"
At this point if Aubrey opened her eyes any wider they may have picked up their own gravitational orbit. "For whom? May I ask?"
"Jesse Swanson for one."
"Oh please," Aubrey waved her hand. "I was just surprised by how good of a singer he actually was."
"Sure sure" Chloe agreed sarcastically. "Well what about Stacie then?"
Aubrey laughed in shock. "Aca- WHAT?"
"She was all like 'cuticle care...e network...blah blah blah' and you. you aubrey posen were all like " she whispered in the classic girly lovesick way " 'oh stacie be mine!"
Aubrey slapped the redhead hard on the arm. "OWW BREE!" Chloe laughed despite the pain.
Aubrey chuckled too. "I still don't know what you are talking about Miss. Beale." She smirked slightly and put the car in reverse, backing it out of the parking spot.
"So we headed to Stephens?" Chloe asked, checking that they had all the audition papers.
"Yah. We can sort through the papers and talk about em there."
Stephens was a small coffee shop just bordering the edge of the campus. The owner was Stephen Karmickle, and his son Aaron worked up front every day. He was studying to be an engineer, but he loved the family business. Chloe and Aubrey were regulars there since freshman year. it was their place to do homework, catch up, get sunday breakfast, or in this case talk Bellas.
The bells on the door jingled as they entered. Aaron spotted them immediately from behind the counter. he smiled a slightly crooked smile and waved with his left hand, while pouring a coffee with his right.
"Hey guys!" they were his favorite customers. The girls approached the counter.
"Hey Aaron." They both chimed.
"The usual?" He knew their orders by heart. Aubrey like a medium hazelnut coffee black with a doubleshot of expresso, and Chloe liked a medium caramel swirl extra extra with whipped cream.
"Yes please." Aubrey said, handing him $4.52.
"Alright. I'll get that right up for you guys. Listen, i got a lunch break in 2 minutes, so if you guys grab a seat i'll bring these over and maybe we can lunch together?"
"Sure!" Chloe said."it'll be good to catch up."
Aubrey chuckled, "It's only been two days."
"hey.' Aaron held his hand up to Aubrey. 'It feels like an eternity."
they laughed and took their usual seats. it was a small table right by the window at the end of the shop. It was far enough from the entrance so they could concentrate, but offered a nice view of the city outside campus.
"Okay. Down to business. Aaron can help when he comes by."
Chloe opened her bag and took out the papers. She put them in a pile in the center.
"Definite yes's go on the side by the window. Definite no's put back in your bag."
"Scoping out dates are we?" Aaron slipped into the chair next to Chloe and handed them their coffees.
"No no, " Chloe chuckled. "New bellas."
He laughed and looked at Aubrey. "I meant scoping out dates for me?"
"Pssh you wish. What happened to that girl you were seeing? jennifer Was it?" Aubrey inquired.
"Oh yah her." he shook his head. "She acted like she was all that and like she had super high aspirations and stuff but she didn't. and she'd get mad at me for " he made air quotes " wasting my talents."
Chloe placed her hand on his arm. "im sorry aaron."
He looked at her gently. "nah it's ok. there's better out there anyway.'
Chloe felt her phone vibrate.
i new message. from Aubrey She looked up at Aubrey, who was sipping her coffee and looking at the street. She opened the message.
ugh just go out already.
She quickly typed back - shut it aubrey. nothins goin on.
Aaron picked up the first application. ''Cynthia Rose. huh. Enjoys boxing and walks on the beach. describes herself as outgoing, versatile, and creative. Can she sing?"
"Is she the...''Aubrey searched for the politically correct phrase.
"african american?" Chloe chimed.
"I was going to say lesbian." Aaron spoke.
Chloe gasped and Aubrey raised her eyebrows. She leaned in close across the table. "YA think?"
Aaron nodded. "Uhh yah.. it's kinda obvious don't you think?"
Chloe took the application out of his hands and looked at it closely. " well now that you mention it.."
Aubrey took another sip of her coffee. " well lesbian or not she can sing so shes in. Put her in the yes pile.
"how many girls do you need?"
Chloe shrugged. "About 10." brrrr brrrrrr.
Aubrey - hes into you. "theres better out there anyway" (looks intently at you)
Chloe - your wrong bree.
"Okay then. Applicant two" Aaron picked up the second form. "Stacie Conrad." Chloe winked at Aubrey who rolled her eyes. "shes hot." he placed her in the yes pile.
"So nothing else matters then?" Aubrey inquired.
Aaron took in a loud breathe and picked her application back up. "She can sing, has a dance background, likes cosmetology and fashion, and...wow thats blunt." He looked in disbelief.
"What what what?" Chloe pressed.
"She sais she tends to be very sexual in nature."
"Not too surprised about that one after her audition." Aubrey spoke.
Chloe looked up at her. 'It wasn't bad though! She can sing, she might just need some work on toning it down a bit."
Aaron was highly interested. "Toning what down?"
"She touched herself a lot. like a lot a lot." Chloe said.
Aaron looked between the two girls again before slowly placing Stacie back in the yes pile.
Aubrey smiled at him. "thank you aaron for your input on this situation." her words were only slightly salted with sarcasm.
"No problem aub!" He reached down to his satchel and pulled out a large sandwich, some chips and a soda. "Lunch time. hope ya don't mind."
Aubrey assured him that it was fine and placed the next application on the table so they could all see it.
"OOOH FAT AMY!" Chloe exclaimed.
Aaron stared in disbelief. "She calls herself Fat amy?"
Aubrey put up her air quotes and did her best Australian accent. (for the record...it sucked) "So skinny bitches like you don't do it behind my back."
"Oh. smart." Aaron took a bite of his sandwich.
"I think we have the down low on Amy from when we met her at the activities fair." Chloe said.
"Yah." Aubrey agreed. "She's certainly interesting. and shes like an Australian Susan Boyle. When she sings you just don't believe that she could sound like that."
Aaron looked up from his sandwich. "What makes you say that?" He wiped his hands on his jeans and picked up the application.
"well." Aubrey began awkwardly. "I don't know she just, doesn't have the appearance of someone who can sing as well as she can."
"Hmm. I disagree but. I'll just place her in the yes pile." He did just that.
"ok. so who's next?"
"Denise Daniels."
"We have to take her. We need people who can hit the lower notes."
Denise quickly went into the yes pile.
The group was just looking at Ashley's profile when two new customers attracted their attention.
"Hey! Isn't that Amy and Stacie?" Aaron asked.
Aubrey turned around and looked towards the counter. Amy and Stacie stood together laughing at the counter.
"Oh yah it is! Let's invite them over here!" Chloe was all for getting to know the new Bellas early on. Aubrey on the other hand disagreed.
"Chlo this is strict Bellas business. They can't come over here while we talk about them."
"Aubrey pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee" Chloe whined. She and Aaron sent Aubrey their sincerest puppy dog pouts.
Aubrey rolled her eyes. "Ugh fine fine whatever." Aaron immediately rose and pulled another chair over to the table. Chloe stood up, "Amy! Stacie!" The two girls took their coffees and looked in the direction of their names.
"OHHHh hay there red!" Amy said. Chloe motioned for them to come sit. they walked over and Stacie slid into the seat next to Aubrey. Chloe shot Aubrey a smirk that went unnoticed by the rest of the table. Amy took the extra chair at the end of the table.
"Hey Aubrey. How's it going?" Stacie asked.
"Well thank you. Just having a little meeting thats all."
Amy piped up " Well Aren't ya gunna introduce us to ryan gosling ova here?"
there was a visible ego boost on Aaron's face. He offered his hand out to Amy. "Hello. My Names Aaron. It's nice to meet you Amy."
Amy shook his hand. "Wooooow formal. And technically its FAT Amy."
"Sorry, nice to meet you FAT amy."
He looked over to Stacie and held his hand out to her as well. "And you too Stacey."
Stacie took his hand and shook it politely. "I'm charmed honestly, but how do you know who we are. Do you three have like secret files on us or something? Should i be concerned?"
Chloe chuckled and pointed to the applications. "Not secret files, just applications."
"OOHH are we in? I mean cuz honestly you bellas need the power of Amy. my sexy fat ass will definitely boost your fandom."
Aubrey took the papers from the table and straightened them into one stack. " well, nothing is official yet but i think there's a good chance that you two may be in."
"YES!" Stacie hugged Aubrey excitedly and Amy high fived around the table.
Chloe smiled warmly at them. "It will be nice to have you guys."
Stacie took the pile out of Aubrey's hands. "So who else is in?"
"Well we were just getting around to looking through the list - "
Aaron cut Aubrey off "you two, Cynthia Rose, Denise, and probably the rest of the girls in that pile." Aubrey pouted dejectedly.
"Cuts through the bullshit. I like that in a man." Amy slipped him a small piece of paper before turning to Aubrey. "take notes." she whispered. She then turned back to Aaron and placed her finger on the slip of paper.
"Now this is my numba. Use it wisely. With great numbas like mine comes great responsibility."
Stacie reached into her purse to grab her phone when she saw something that jolted her memory. she took the packet of papers out of her purse.
"oh i totally forgot, beca gave this to me to give to you guys."
Aubrey went to take it but Chloe was faster. She snatched the packet away and began to read it. She giggled to herself while the rest of the group waited expectantly. Aaron tried to peak over at the application.
"Ya care to share there ginger?"
Chloe looked up startled, like she had forgotten they were all there. Aubrey slapped her forehead a little too hard. "ow.." she said running it gently.
"You ok?" Stacey asked, genuinely concerned.
"Im fine." she said smiling.
Chloe began reading Beca's application. "Now i should warn you guys, she keeps it really short and simple. but heres what it sais. it sais... hi. names Beca Mitchell. I want to be a DJ in LA. didnt want to go to Barden and now im auditioning for a capella. yup. thats it."
Stacie looked skywards trying to remember which one was Beca, "Is she the one who did the thing with the cup?"
"yup. Dumped my pens everywhere."
"oh no ya'll better watch out. this DJ is dumping Aubrey's pens. Shits bout to hit the fan." Aaron teased.
"i've actually seen that once." The group shot confused glances towards amy.
"yup. it was at an aboriginal birthday party and they had just gotten their first ceiling fan."
"So they threw shit at it?" Stacie asked.
"yah pretty much. it got like everywhere."
"EWWWW"
Aaron picked up becas application. "So this Beca. Is she in or..."
"NO" "YES." Aubrey and Chloe answered simultaneously.
"Aubrey Come on!" Chloe pleaded.
"Chlo. we talked about this."
Stacie looked over at Amy, who nodded for her to share. "Amy and I both think she'd be a good addition to the bellas." She began. "we ...well you need talented singers and she has talent."
Aubrey Folded her arms. "Is this how you all feel?"
Everyone at the table nodded in approval.
"Oh whatever." She took the application from Aaron's hands and put it in the yes pile, earning cheers from around the table. "She can join. but if she does anything wrong shes out." She paused for a second before looking at Chloe, who had been beaming sine having won the argument. "What i'd like to know is why she changed her mind and auditioned." She raised an eyebrow at Chloe.
the redhead shrugged. "I dont know. she must have just had a change if heart."
"Or maybe someone said something to her." Aubrey pressed.
Amy chimed in. "Yah, or maybe someone stalked her and invaded their shower and convinced "She raised her eyebrows suggestively at that word " her to join.
Chloe gasped "HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT? DID SHE TELL YOU?"
"WHAT?" The rest of the table sat in shock.
"oh my god.. chlo you didn't."
"well, i did.." Aubrey's jaw made a bang as it hit the floor. "But it's not as bad as it sounds!"
Stacie was deeply intrigued by the conversation. "Did you...ya know?" She winked as she spoke.
"Did i what?"
Aaron laughed while Aubrey was having a panic attack. "Jesus Chlo" she said, "she means did you have sex with her?"
"Yah and she wants to know why no one else got this kinda convincing?" Amy continued.
"Oh my god! i didn't have sex with anyone. I was just taking a shower when someone walked in singing, and i wanted to see who it was so i opened the curtain and it was her and we had a duet and that was that."
"a duet huuhh" Amy nudged her, winking. Aubrey buried her face in her hands.
"I don't know if i want to hear this.." She mumbled.
Chloe reached across the table and removed Bree's hands from her face. "A real duet. To titanium by David guetta. I told her that she should audition for the bellas."
"Oh Chloe, your diddle jam? really?"
"Diddle jam?" Aaron questioned.
"and here i was thinking i was the only one with a diddle jam." Stacie laughed. "mine's Freaks by French Montana and Nicki minaj."
"Do i even want to know what a diddle jam is?" Amy leaned over in Aaron's ear and whispered to him what it was.
"What?! No way! Chloe i never thought you'd be that type of person. and Stacie, nice choice. I like that one too." He smiled at Aubrey, raising his eyebrows twice. "What 'bout you bree?"
Aubrey looked offended and scoffed. "I don't have one."
"She does."
"I dont."
"It's i saw the sign."
"thanks chlo."
"anytime."
Aaron turned to Amy. " So whats your diddle jam then?"
"ehhhh' she considered her options briefly. "The wheels on the bus,"
Aubrey shuffled the applications and shifted uncomfortably. "ok. New topic."
"Why? i'm enjoying this convo." Stacey pouted.
"Me too."
"of course ya do big boy. of course ya do." Amy patted his thigh.
"So whats next for us bellas?" Stacie inquired.
"Well, we aren't supposed to say but - "
'Chloe-"
"But its aca initiation night."
"Chloe these are trade secrets! They can't know this stuff it's supposed to be a surprise."
Chloe continued as if Aubrey hadn't been speaking. "And basically we kidnap you guys and bring you to the auditorium and there's this really creepy ambiance and we " Aubrey kicked her from underneath the table. "Do stuff. bellas stuff. and then we party."
"Sounds cool."
"Can we help kidnap people? i once won a national tournament for kidnapping."
Aubrey glanced at Amy. "im both equally alarmed and amazed."
"Im like really good at it. Just give me some rope, corn, and super glue and im all good."
"well, we don't need any of those things, just mask things to put on their heads. and you two need them too." Chloe said.
"I think its best if Chloe and i just do the kidnap - umm recruiting."
"Fun sucker." Stacie teased.
Aubrey smiled. She could get used to seeing these girls all the time. they were quirky, but she didn't mind.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PP XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PP XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
oh my god what the fuck is going on?
To put it simply, Beca Mitchell was terrified. She had been sleeping happily on her bed when suddenly she was being yanked out of bed by two people in ski masks. she had called to kimmy jin for help but of course kimmy had done nothing. Now she had a bag over her head and was being shoved into the back of some kind of vehicle.
"I swear i'm going to kill you whoever you are." Beca felt a presence close to her ear. She was about to strike when she heard a soothing voice.
"Beca calm down. It's chloe. Aubrey and i are taking you to initiation. just go along with it."
"What a relief."
"beca Mitchell don't you use your sarcasm on me. I have the advantage here." Beca smirked.
After what felt like an eternity she was finally taken out of the car and led somewhere else. Chloe set Beca up in the line of soon to be bellas and then took her place behind the table. She did a quick check to ensure that all the candles were lit, the Gauntlet filled, and the scarves perfectly aligned. When all was in order she nodded to Aubrey to begin.
"Now, i'm sure my assistant has already told you why you are all here, but i'll tell you anyway. You lucky ladies, " She paced in front of them, " have all been hand selected by a special group of people to have the honor of being a Barden Bella bestowed upon you. Now without further adieu, let the ceremony begin."
She walked behind the line of girls and began removing their masks.
"The sopranos - Jessica, Mary Elise, And Lilly,. The Mezzos - Cynthia Rose, Stacie, Kori. And our altos - Fat Amy, Denise, Ashley and beca."
Beca looked around in shock at the atmosphere. She was in the gym, with the lights off. The only light came from the probably 200 candles set up at various elevations in the room. Chloe stood behind a table covered with a gauntlet and 11 scarves. Aubrey moved to join her. She picked the gauntlet up gently. "We shall begin by drinking the blood of the sisters that came before us." She passed the enormous cup to Chloe, who took it over to Beca.
"Dude no!" there was no way in hell Beca was going to be drinking anyones blood. this isn't twilight.
Chloe leaned in and winked at her, whispering softly "Don't worry. It's Boones Farm."
The cup was passed down to all the Bella's, who took their respective sips. Aubrey had to remind Amy not to drink the entire thing in one gulp, but other than that it went flawlessly. After Chloe had passed them the cup to drink, Aubrey would pass them their scarves. Once that was over it was time for the final phase of initiation.
"Now for the oath. If you will place your scarves in your right hand." The girls did as they were told.
"I. sing your name." Aubrey immediately regretted asking them to sing their names, as the sound they produced together was anything but harmonious. She shrugged it off.
"promise to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of a bella woman." the girls repeated her. Aubrey was pleased at their compliance, but she couldn't help but notice how intently Chloe was watching one particular Bella.
"And i solemnly promise to never have sexual relations with a treblemaker, or may my vocal cords be ripped out by wolves." This one took the girls by surprise, but they repeated it nonetheless.
"Congratulations, you are all Bellas now." the lights popped back on and the girls cheered in excitement. Amy rushed over to the gauntlet and began drinking more of it. "Ugh i gotta have more of this."
Chloe smiled and watched the girls interact. "We did it!" She squealed to Aubrey.
Aubrey glanced around taking in the scene. Stacie was already asking how much sex the girls had, Beca was standing here awkwardly, Lilly was mumbling something about fish or bodies, and Amy was on the prowl for more juice.
"Did we?"
Chloe clapped her hands to regain the groups attention. "Alrighty girls! ya know what comes next?"
"Strippers?" Amy's comment caused the bellas to laugh. it was clear that she would be the source of humor in the group.
"No Fat amy. there will be no strippers."
"Aw but Aubrey, Im like super good at it. I took a class on pole dancing. If you have a pole i could show you."
Aubrey waved her hands back and forth, "no no thats perfectly ok. i believe you. no need to demonstrate."
Denise and Stacie agreed that they wanted to see Amy pole dance, but Aubrey refocused their attention.
"Now is not the time for stripping, but rather the time for partying. So lets go! "
Beca yawned. She didn't like parties. She had gone to a few in high school but they weren't her thing. She would have rather stayed home and slept or worked on mixes. "Do i have to go?"
Aubrey glared at her. "yes beca. you have to go. now come on."
the girls headed outside and across the quad. it was a warm night in early September, so the party was going to be held outside in the small venue the college had for concerts. By the time the bellas arrived the other groups were already there socializing. About a third of the people there were already drunk, a third were in the process of getting drunk, and the other third were just arriving.
"alright ladies. " Aubrey said heading down the stairs towards the party. " time to soften the beach."
Kori and Ashley were confused by her statement, but followed anyway. the rest of the girls quickly split up.
"i don't know what im doing here." beca mumbled to amy.
"just living the dream." Amy laughed. " i still cant believe they let my sexy fat ass in here." with that Amy took off towards the alcohol. Beca stood uncomfortably on the steps about halfway down the venue.
She was considering if anyone would notice if she just left when she heard Jesse's unmistakeable voice.
"BECA! BECA! BECAWWWW BECAWW_" he sauntered over to her and started cracking up. "Do my eyes deceive me or are you a Barden Bella. Im one of those a capella boys, your one of those a capella girls and we are gunna have aca children. its inevitable."
beca could tell immediately that he had already it the drink table up. "Wow..your really drunk right now?"
"Im not drunk your just blurry" He said leaning in. She pushed him back slightly and smiled intently.
"i don't think your even going to remember any of this.' he leaned back in and she pushed him back again.
"and i come right back" they continued the slightly flirtatious game of pushing away and coming back for a while before jesse decided to grab beca a drink so she could "get on his level." While the two laughed together they were unaware that they were being watched by one very unhappy blonde bella.
Beca was watching Jesse go when she saw Chloe coming towards her. She was about to say hi when Chloe grabbed right onto her and pulled her close.
"oh!" she exclaimed. Chloe moved Becas hands into her cardigans pockets. "Im so glad that i met you.." Before beca could say anything chloe touched her face to becas, "I think, that we're gunna be really fast friends."
beca tilted her head slightly. "Yeah"
"yeah" chloe agreed, keeping their close proximity intact.
"well you saw me naked so..." beca winked.
Meanwhile Amy had taken a seat next to Aubrey and the two were drunk watching. Amy pointed to her hair. "So i thought of a new name for this hairstyle. It's called the orthodox jew."
Aubrey studied her hair closely. "Huh. yah yah.
Amy continued gesturing as she spoke, "cuz it's all reserved in the front but a party in the back."
Aubrey pointed to amy's two strands that hung down in the front. " yah i see that. i like that."
"hey amy?"
"yah"
"have any of the other girls, ya know..said anything about me?"
Amy put her hand on her chin. " uhh no not really. i mean Stacie said you kinda had weird elbows but. she told me not to tell you and i said i wouldn't. but i guess i just did..."
Aubrey immediately tried to examine her elbows. "I don't have weird elbows..." Amy saw that Aubrey truly looked hurt by that, so she changed the subject to something a little more exciting.
"hey so there's like 10 of us right? that means that one of us is probably a lesbian."
Aubrey thought that number might be a little higher but she kept that to herself. "Which one do you think it is?"
Amy directed her gaze to the drink table, where Stacie and Cynthia rose were refilling. "my moneys on black beauty."
Aubrey watched as Stacie said something and Cynthia only stared at her cleavage, which hung almost out of her shirt.
'Ya know amy, that's not the first time ive heard that."
Amy laughed, "well im not surprised. Dont tell her i said that."
Chloe was stil hanging on beca when she decided it was about time to really party.
"alight, i'm gunna go get a drink." She rubbed her hands down becas arms. Beca contemplated if Chloe had been drunk already or not. She honestly couldn't tell. Chloe raised her hands in the air and turned her torso away from beca, but kept their gaze locked, "this ginger needs her giggle juice." beca watched her amused as she shook her butt adorably before snapping and walking off towards the drinks.
"See ya later!" she shouted to beca.
"Make good choices." make good choices. what a stupid thing to say.
Beca spent the rest of the party watching all the drunk singers dancing together and singing along to the hottest tracks. Amy was bold as ever and had no problem getting up on the stage and dancing in front of everyone. to top it off, she finally got her pole to demonstrate on. Beca was also surprised to see how sociable aubrey could be. She smiled and chatted politely with a number of people, and danced along with them as well.
i guess she only hates me.
It was about an hour and a half after Jesse left to get her a drink that he finally came back. he nearly fell down next to her and handed her an empty cup.
"What happened to my drink?" She teased. His face twisted up into the typical "oh shit" face.
"umm uhh a rabid. ..d...d..dog whale took it."
Beca laughed at him. "Wow a wild dog whale. I've heard some crazy stories about those things. I'm glad you survived long enough to give me the empty cup."
Jesse put his hand on his stomach.
"you ok dude?"
"i think im guna puke..."
Beca got up and moved away from him.
He began siezing up as though he were going to puke any second. Beca began to panic,
"should i get you water? a bucket? "
Jesse stopped and started laughing. "you should have seen your face!" he said between laughs.
Beca walked back over to him and whacked him. "You jerk!" she said laughing along with him. He laughed so hard he fell between the risers. "That's what you get jesse." beca said, still smiling.
After about another two and a half hours the party was starting to wrap up. She offered to walk Jesse home but he assured her that his dorm was right next door. She took his word for it and let him go alone. She would not however let a certain drunk redhead go home alone. Aubrey had already thrown up (No surprise) and amy had taken her back home, so Chloe was on her own. Beca walked up and behind Chloe just in time to grab her as she fell.
"wooopsssss uhhh hiii there beccsss" Chloe smiled up at her savoir. "Becs ur pretty..."
beca helped chloe up and began supporting her back to her dorm. "ok chlo, time to get you to bed."
Chloe whined and tried to pull away but was too drunk to get far. 'Aww no i wannna partyyyyyy. im havin such a good time"
beca grabbed hold of her again. "I know Chlo but the parties over. it's time to go home."
Chloe laughed. Even drunk her laugh sounded like pure music. "na na na now the party don't start till i walk in..."
"tic toc. nice song."
Chloe poked becas cheek. "You know that song! i love that song."
beca pulled her face away from Chloes hand. "Im sure it's diddlejam status."
By now they had reached the dorm. Beca fumbled for her keys and tried to keep an eye on Chloe, who was currently inspecting the billboard in the hallway.
"a capella groups? we have that here?"
beca unlocked her door and quickly dragged Chloe into her room by the wrist. Kimmy jin was fast asleep, and beca ssshhd chloe so that they wouldn't wake her. She pointed to her bed. "Get in Chlo."
Chloe smiled flirtatiously "oooh sleepin together on the first date huh. never thought you'd be so bold."
Beca didn't reply, mostly because she didn't know how.
"I like it." Chloe continued. She moved over and crawled into beca's bed. Beca followed slowly, trying to nudge Chloe over more so she could have more space on the bed. She finally found a comfortable position and began to shut her eyes. Just as she was falling asleep she felt Chloe shift. Chloe rolled over and cuddled into beca, draping her arm around Becas waste and snuggling into the crook of her neck. beca froze.
"umm Chloe." she whispered. "Chloe." No response. Becas sighed. "well goodnight then I guess." And with that she drifted off to sleep.
