Chapter One

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Stacie sat in her room crying, no matter how hard she tried to be perfect she was never good enough. Ever since she was little her mother had told her that if she wasn't skinny or hot, or even wore a ton of makeup and revealing clothes then she would never be perfect.

A knock on the door causes her to jump, standing up she quickly moves over to her bathroom. "Just a minute!" she yells out trying to sound normal and not like she had been crying.

Quickly moving into the bathroom and grabbing her makeup bags. Stacie looks into the mirror as she fixes the smudges from her crying.

Walking out of the bathroom when she is done, the leggy brunette walks over to open the door. Sighing she opens it, her eyes widening when she sees Beca and Aubrey.

"What are you two doing here?" she asks quickly in fear of being kicked out of the Bellas'.

Beca sighs and steps closer to the door. "Dude we came to check on you, and Aubrey came to apologize."

Looking down Stacie wraps her arms around her waist in a protective manner. "I get it okay, I need to be perfect and so far I'm not."

"What?" Aubrey asks in shock as she steps closer to the brunette. "You don't need to be perfect! You are amazing just the way you are."

"Look I have a test that I need to study for." Stacie says quickly, she really did have a test but it wasn't until two weeks later.

Beca sighs and rolls her eyes, "Dude just stop being stupid and listen to Aubrey." she says calmly.

Flinching Stacie moves back into her room. "I guess you can come in then." she mumbles.

Walking into the room Beca and Aubrey look around noticing there is only one bed, and a bathroom in the room.

"You have a single?" Beca asks as she continues to look around.

"Well yeah, my parents wanted me to have my own dorm room." Stacie says as she walks over to her bed, seeing the diet pills on her bedside table her eyes widen before she quickly grabs them and hides them.

Aubrey's brows scrunch up when she sees Stacie quickly hiding something. "What was that?" she asks moving further into the spotless room.

"Nothing." Stacie says quickly as she scoots up higher on her bed. "So you wanted to talk to me." She says quickly changing the subject.

Slowly sitting on the bed, Aubrey rolls her eyes when Beca flops down on the bed. 'Can't you be normal for like five minutes?" she asks looking at the DJ.

"Um, nope." Beca responds after pretending to think.

Stacie lets out a quiet laugh before sitting up more and wrapping her arms around her knees. "What did you want to talk about?" she asks looking at Aubrey.

"I wanted to apologize for earlier at practice. It's just been so stressful trying to make everything perfect for the Bellas. I mean the last captain Alice was the reason we made it to the ICCA finals and well I blew it." the blonde whispers looking down.

Biting her lip the dancer moves forward slightly on the bed and touches Aubrey's hand. "We will get there Aubrey. But this is like the second practice and some of us don't know how to dance or make a heart with our hands." she says teasing Beca.

"Hey! I so know how to make a hear- Never mind." Beca says having tried to make the heart only to wind up with a square.

Stacie and Aubrey break out in a fit of giggles as they stare at the DJ.

"Anyways Aubs, you've got this. But maybe we need to switch up the set." Stacie offers softly, before preparing for the backlash.

Aubrey tenses up at the mention of changing the set. "We are not changing the set, its tradition and that is final." she says a little harsher than intended.

The DJ sits up and looks at Aubrey. "Relax she was just suggesting, no need to be bitchy."

Stacie stands up suddenly and walks into her bathroom, shutting and locking the door.

"Dammit Aubrey, you can't just lash out on her. Have you not noticed how she acts?" Beca growls out as she runs a hand through her hair in frustration. "She thinks she has to be perfect at everything."

Aubrey tenses up and looks down at her lap. "I didn't know that."

Beca sighs and stands up, "We should go and give her some space." she says before walking over to the bathroom door and knocking. "Hey Stace, Aubrey and I are leaving, but we'll see you at the riff off tonight right?"

"Yeah." comes the quick response.

Aubrey walks into the apartment that she shares with Chloe, seeing that the place is empty she guesses that the redhead went over to Tom's. Walking up to the kitchen, her suspicions are correct when she finds a note.

Hey Aubs, went to Tom's for a bit. See you at the Riff Off!- Love Chlo.

Sighing Aubrey walks into her room and puts her stuff away, before grabbing a towel and heading into the bathroom to take a shower.

After her shower she quickly dresses in a pair of tan skinny jeans, a white tank top, and a pinkish orange jacket. Looking over at the clock she notices the time and quickly does her makeup before getting into her car and driving to the pool for the riff off.

Seeing all of her fellow Bellas' Aubrey walks over and joins them, linking arms with Chloe. "Hey, where's Stacie?" she asks looking around for the tall brunette.

"She just texted Beca saying she would be here in about four minutes, said she had gotten lost on the way here." Chloe responds before looking over at Aubrey. "There is something I need to tell you but after the Riff Off."

Aubrey nods just as Stacie arrives, causing her breath to catch in her throat. The tall brunette was wearing a pair of blue skinny jeans, a black, tan, and maroon shirt that barely concealed her breasts, and a pinkish purple jacket.

"Sorry I'm late, got lost on the way here. Who knew the campus had two pools?" the brunette lies, she had really been at home trying to look perfect for this.

Before anyone can respond Justin walks into the center of the room and points at everyone. "Hit it! Welcome to the riff-off! Who's ready to get vocal? The winners get the greatest prize of all." he yells before pulling out a remote and a microphone. "The microphone used by Hoobastank when they rocked out at the Schnee Performing Arts Centre. Let's see our first category. Ladies of the 80's."

Aubrey's eyes light up and she runs forward only for Bumper and the rest of the Treble's to beat her to it.

"Oh Mickey you're so fine. You're so fine you blow my mind."

A little while later Justin speaks up again after the BU Harmonics and High Notes are cut-off. "And our next category is… Songs about sex."

"Sex?" Aubrey mumbles to herself, her eyebrows creasing.

Cynthia Rose runs forward, beating the Treble's.

"Na, Na, Na, Come on. Na, Na, Na, Na, Come on. Come on. Come on." As soon as she begins to sing Stacie walks out in front of her and they begin to grind against each other. "Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at." Neither of them realize Aubrey is glaring at them. "Sex in the air, I don't care I love the smell of it."

Stepping away from Cynthia Rose, Stacie smirks as they continue the song. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me." she cups her breasts and winks at Donald. "Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it, (I like it, like it, like it."

Stacie smirks again when Donald steps forward not realizing he is about to cut them off.

"Sex baby, let's talk about you and me." Donald says signaling between him and Stacie. "Let's talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be. Let's talk about sex."

Aubrey storms forward and grabs Stacie by the arm as the guys continue to sing. "Come on."

Walking with the blonde for a minute Stacie suddenly stops. "Wait I have one." she says before turning and walking right up to Donald.

"Baby, all through the night I'll make love to you." Stacie sings out placing her hands on Donald's chest, before Fat Amy joins her. "Like you want me too, and I-"

"And I guess it's just the woman in you that brings out the man in me. I know I can't help myself, you're all in the world to me." Jesse sings out pointing towards Beca teasingly. "It feels like the first time," he gets out when Beca blows him a kiss. "it feels like the very first time. It feels like the first time-"

Beca runs forward and cuts Jesse off with a smirk. "It's going down, fade to Blackstreet, The homies got RB, collab' creations." she continues to rap not realizing the look her team is giving her. "Bump like acne, no doubt. I put it down, never slouch. As long as my credit can vouch. A dog couldn't catch me ass out. Tell me who can stop when Dre makin' moves, attracting honeys like a magnet. Giving 'em eargasms with my mellow accent. Still moving this flavor ith the homies Blackstreet and Teddy. The original rump shakers."

"Rump shakers?" Aubrey mumbles to herself.

Turning around and noticing her friends aren't singing with her she pauses.

"Keep going." Jesse tells her with a smile.

"Shorty get down, good Lord. Baby got 'em up open all over town." the DJ sings out turning in shock when Fat Amy joins in. "Strictly biz, she don't play around. Cover much ground, got game by the pound." At this part Amy slaps her stomach. "Getting paid is her forte. Each and every day, true player way. I can't get her out of my mind. I think about the girl all the time. East side to the west side. Pushin' phat rides, it's no surprise. She got tricks in the stash, stacking up the cash. Fast when it comes to the gas. By no means average, she's on when she's got to have it. Baby, you're a perfect ten, I wanna get in. Can I get down, so I can win" Everyone around campus joins in singing Aye oh aye oh. "I like the way you work it. No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up. I like the way you work it. No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up. I like the way you work it. No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up.I like the way you work it. No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up."

"We out." Beca says smirking. "I mean you're welcome."

"Oh tough blow ladies." Justin says walking over. "The word you needed to match was 'It's' and you sang 'It'." He continues before looking around. "You're cut off!" he yells before being joined by everyone else.

Stacie slowly walks over to the other girls and crosses her arms under her chest before Beca walks over to her.

"Guys we did awesome right?" the DJ asks smiling.

Aubrey was tense as she looked at Beca. "We didn't win."

"So what, it's not about winning." Beca says rolling her eyes. "We were amazing out there and we had fun." she says crossing her arms.

Stacie looks down at the ground, blaming herself. "Maybe we should all just go home."

"Yeah, come on. I'll drive you Stace." Beca says before glaring at Aubrey.

Rolling her eyes Aubrey turns to Chloe. "So what did you want to talk to me about?" she asks after the rest of the girl's leave.

"Um, well, I know we have a no dating Treble's rule." Chloe starts before noticing Aubrey becoming tense. "I'mDatingJesse." she says quickly.

Aubrey stands completely still for a few minutes before everything catches up to her. "You're what?!"

"I'm dating Jesse. We've been together since before he became a Treble. When he became a Treble I pretended to be with Tom." the redhead sas softly.

Taking a deep breath Aubrey nods, "Let's just go home." she says before turning and walking towards her car with Chloe following after her.
