"Dude, why do we all have to ride the bus? Regionals are like forty-five minutes away."

"Because, Beca, riding together is tradition and-"

"We don't break tradition. Blah blah blah," Beca rolled her eyes and moved to the back of the small bus. Chloe joined her a few minutes later. "This is stupid."

"What? You don't like riding in a bus full of girls?" Chloe smirked. Beca hit her with her elbow, then offered one of her earbuds with her favorite mixes blasting out of it. Chloe gladly took it and placed it in her ear. Once the bus was in motion and everyone was preoccupied with their own activities, Chloe rested her head on Beca's shoulder and closed her eyes.

Beca slowly grabbed Chloe's bag and went through it to get her iPod. She plugged her earbuds into her girlfriend's iPod and quickly went through the list of songs, looking for a specific one. Chloe lifted her head, now awake, and asked what she was doing. Beca turned a shade of red before she even hit play. "Don't laugh, okay?" Chloe nodded sleepily. Chloe laughed as she heard Beca's voice boom over the music on the track.

Oh Chloe, you're so fine
You're so fine you blow my mind
Hey Chloe, Hey Chloe
Oh Chloe, you're so fine-

-And you're mine
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-

-The one in me
That's O.K.
Let's see how you do it
Put up your dukes
Let's get down to it

Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away

Beca was staring down at the floor, embarrassed to no end. During the instrumental part she threw in between categories, she explained, "I found a video of the riff-off online and thought it'd be fun to record it..." Chloe set her hand on Beca's thigh, causing Beca to look over at her smiling girlfriend. Before Chloe could say anything, the next singing part had started.

Na na na
Come on
Na na na na na
Come on, come on, come on

'Cause I may be bad
But I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air
I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me

(Not really but those are the lyrics)

'Cause I may be bad
But I'm perfectly good at it
Sex-

-Chloe
Let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things
And there are no bad things that may be
Let's talk about sex
Alright
Let's talk about sex
In private, in private
Let's talk about sex, Chloe-

-All through the night
I'll make love to you
Like you want me to
And I-

-guess that's just the woman in you
That brings out the woman in me
I know I can't help myself
You're all in the world to me

It feels like the first time (maybe that's because it is)
It feels like the very first time (it wasn't but you know what I mean)
It feels like the first time
It-

-It's...

The song finished with Beca's rap of "No Diggity" that Chloe had been dying to hear once again. Chloe leaned in and kissed Beca on the cheek, taking out Beca's earbud and whispering, "It's perfect." She rested her head once again on the small brunette's shoulder and sighed softly. "You still look really good in that uniform." Beca felt Chloe's hand move up her thigh and toy with her shorter-than-she-wanted skirt.

"Chloe, we're in public," Beca hissed through her teeth.

"We're telling them on the way home anyways. It's no big deal." Beca put her hand on Chloe's, stopping her migration north. Chloe pouted.

"When we get back to campus."

"Fine," Chloe snorted. She nuzzled closer to Beca before dosing off again.

"Second place isn't bad," Stacie said.

"I can't believe the boys won first place again."

Lilly mumbled under her breath, "If we kill them, they can't win."

"Okay, ladies, back on the bus!" Aubrey ordered. The group walked out into the lobby to find The Tonehangers and The Treblemakers brawling.

"The Kraken had been unleashed." Amy ran down the stairs and punched a guy in the face who was bothering Donald, the main rapper for the Trebles.

"Someone stop her!" Denise called out. Beca looked around, but nobody showed any indication of going to help Amy, so she descended the stairs and hurried over to Fat Amy who was wielding a trophy.

"Hit me, Amy! Hit me!" the pervy Tonehanger begged. Beca grabbed the trophy and tried to pry it from Amy's hands.

"I wanna shove it up his butt!"

"Give me the trophy, Amy!" Beca yelled, standing on her tip toes, struggling to keep a hold of the object. Amy attempted to jerk it out of Beca's hands, and it snapped into pieces. The biggest piece flew through the window and, conveniently, there was a cop right outside who saw a chuck of the trophy in Beca's small hands. "Shit."

"Everyone, get on the bus. We're going back to campus."

"Back to campus? Beca's at the police station here! We can't just leave her!" Chloe yelled, frustrated that Beca had been taken into custody when she did nothing wrong. "I'm staying."

"We'll go back, and you can get your car, then drive back over here to bail her out. I don't want to leave her just as much as you, but we have to return the bus before midnight," Aubrey said calmly. Chloe crossed her arms, but nodded at the logic.

Two hours later, she arrived at the police station to find Beca sitting in the lobby. "Hey Million Dollar Baby."

"If I knew what you were referencing, I'd probably laugh at that. Anyways, I was just about to call you. They pardoned me since I didn't do anything."

"Thank god." Chloe wrapped her arms around Beca and held her tight. Beca pushed back the desire to make a snarky comment about not being able to breathe. She just enjoyed the moment. "Let's go home."

"Sounds perfect." The couple walked out to Chloe's car hand-in-hand. "Wait. We never told the girls about us."

"We'll tell them when we get back. Aubrey said she'll have them wait up in your dorm. You know, to make sure prison hasn't changed you too much," Chloe winked.

"Hey! What up, Shawshank?!"

"Did you get yourself a bitch?"

"Did they spray you with a hose?"

"Were you someone's bitch?"

"I did a turn at county."

Beca was bombarded with questions when her and Chloe entered her room. Kimmy Jin gave her a dirty look and walked out. "Isn't she just a bundle of sunshine?" Amy asked, making everyone laugh.

"I can't believe you guys really waited up for me." She looked over at Chloe who gave her a slight nod. Now was the time. Beca opened her mouth to speak, but Aubrey cut her off.

"Yes, now sit down. I'm calling an emergency Bellas meeting. According to the scorecard-"

"How'd you get the scorecard?" Ashley asked.

"A friend." Chloe nudged Beca with a knowing look. "Anyways, The Sockapellas almost beat us. We need to step it up. And Amy, no surprises next time okay?" Amy nodded. She had lost herself in the heat of the moment and sang well, but didn't follow the choreography like she was taught.

"Wait, Aubrey, we're keeping the same set-list?"

"Yes. If we perform as we have practiced, we can win."

"If we change it up, we'll have a better chance of beating the Trebles."

"Yeah, The Trebles never sing the same song twice. All we do is sing the same songs," Cynthia Rose spoke up.

"Exactly. We could change the face of a capella if we just...Oh my god. Why haven't I thought of this before?" Beca walked over to her laptop and opened her folder of mixes. "If we blend tracks together from different genres and times, we can make something nothing has ever-"

"Our set-list is perfectly fine."

"This stuff is pretty cool, Aubrey. Just listen to-"

"Practice tomorrow. 8 am sharp." Aubrey nodded to the girls and turned to leave.

"Will there be cardio?" Amy asked. She got a glare in return.

The rest of the girls followed Aubrey out and went home. Chloe shut the door behind them and walked back over to Beca who was now looking out the window. Chloe wrapped her arms around her waist. "Hey. Don't worry about her; she'll come around."

Beca sighed and rested her hands on Chloe's. "I hope so."
