Chapter 3: Sights and Sounds of New York
After a good, healthy breakfast and some awkward chatting of whom hooked up with whom, it was decided that the group was going to do a little sightseeing first. They had the whole weekend ahead of them to take in the sights and sounds of New York City. It was a big difference for the Bellas and the Trebles to just hang out as coeds (friends) and not the competing rivals of collegian a cappella.
"Ok ladies, let's go back to our rooms and get ready and meet back down in the lobby in an hour tops. So 11am sharp. Jesse, you got that on your end?" Aubrey says sternly.
"Um…yeah…right, got it. 11 O'clock." Jesse stuttered. He grabbed and held out the chair for Aubrey to stand. Acknowledging each of the girls, he and Aubrey walk arm and arm out of the breakfast area. Everyone gets up to head back to their rooms.
Beca and Chloe intertwine their hands as they walk towards the elevators. Beca seems quiet, thinking about something deeply. Once the doors shut Chloe breaks the silence.
"Hey Becs, is there something wrong?"
"No" she replies quickly.
"Beca, you can tell me if something's bothering you, ya know." Chloe didn't want to push the girl. "What's going on in that brain of yours Mitchell?"
"Really Chlo, it's nothing. I'm just amazed about what came out back there." Beca reassured kissing her on the cheek. Chloe couldn't help but smile widely. This is been the most amazing experience of her life and she couldn't be happier with Beca.
Entering their room, both girls drop on the bed and hum in approval. Glancing at each other, they feel a warm calm washing over them. Chloe leaned in, while Beca closed the distance and they shared a soft passionate kiss. Beca ran her tongue across Chloe's lip begging for entrance, which was allowed immediately deepening their kiss. After five minutes of heavily making out, the girls pull apart catching their breath before they start something they can't finish. After each girl finished a nice hot shower, they were dressed and out the door.
With 5 minutes to spare, the girls head down to the lobby, excited to see what the day brings. Entering the lobby, Beca sees Aubrey with planner in hand. Shaking her head, thinking 'Dictator Aubrey and her tour plans are so not on my list of fun.' Chloe reached for Beca's hand and gave her a gentle squeeze. Looking up at the redhead Beca gave her a small smile.
No denying all the noise that made everyone's head turn, as the Trebles entered the lobby area. Those guys can get so rowdy sometimes. Donald beatboxing while Jesse and Benji were singing and the others followed laughing out loud.
With everyone gathered in the lobby, Aubrey read the itinerary to the group. The tour bus was going to pick them up at noon. The short tour of the city should only take about 3 to 4 hours, which will give everyone plenty of time to get ready for the Love is Louder benefit concert.
Five minutes before twelve, the tour bus pulled up in front of the hotel. All the Bellas and Trebles boarded. Chloe and Beca were the first to get in the bus, hand in hand they walked towards the back and took their seats. Next to follow were Fat Amy and Benji, then Stacie and Donald, the others and lastly Aubrey and Jesse. Everyone is seated and the driver closed the door and walked in the isle to give everyone their instructions for the tour. They all are currently in Times Square where a lot of the action is. All the tall buildings and the billboards, hustle and bustle of the cities entertainment. Making his announcement, the bus pulls away into the heavy traffic of New York City streets.
Leave it to Chloe to start a musical moment amongst the a cappella group. Since the Bellas are the first all-female champions of Collegian a Cappella, it just seemed fitting for her to sing Megan Trainor's "All about That Bass".
[Chloe/Beca]
I'm all about that bass,
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass,
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass,
"Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass,
"Bout that bass (bass, bass, bass)
Giving her redheaded girlfriend a sideways glance, Beca decided to join in the fun providing harmony. All the Bellas smiled looking at the reactions of the Treblemakers, who's faces were shocked. Lily and Ashley provided the beatboxing and bass while Aubrey, CR, Stacie and Fat Amy provided background vocal.
[Chloe]
Yeah it's pretty clear,
I ain't no size two
But I can shake,
Shake it like
I'm supposed to do
'Cause I got that boom
Boom that all the boys chase
All the right junk in
All the right places
Stacie got up from her seat giving Donald a wink before walking the aisle toward the back of the bus. All the guys turned their heads and watch as the Bellas performed for them on the bus.
[Stacie]
I see the magazines
Working that Photoshop
We know that shit ain't real
Come on now, make it stop
If you got beauty beauty
Just raise 'em up
'Cause every inch
Of you is perfect
From the bottom to the top
Fat Amy jumped up to join Stacie in the isle to sing the part made just for her, the blonde Australian makes it known of her beauty; shaking what her momma gave her. Size doesn't matter.
[Fat Amy]
Yeah, my momma she told me
Don't worry about you size
She says, boys like a little
More booty to hold at night
You know I won't
Be no stick-figure,
Silicone Barbie doll,
So, if that's what's
You're into
Then go ahead
And move along
Fat Amy struts her stuff up and down the aisles and some of Trebles whistled. Bellas throwing their hands in the air supporting her dance moves.
[All Bellas]
You know
I'm all about the bass,
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass,
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass,
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass,
'Bout that bass
All the Bellas are singing and dancing around all the Treble's playfully strutting the fact that they are the champions. Beca makes her way to stand in front of Chloe for the next part.
[Beca]
I'm bringing booty back
Go ahead and tell
Them skinny bitches Hey
No, I'm just playing I know
You think you're fat,
But I'm her to tell you that,
Every inch of
You is perfect
From the bottom
To the top
[Aubrey]
Yeah, my momma she told me
Don't worry about you size
She says, boys like a little
More booty to hold at night
You know I won't
Be no stick-figure,
Silicone Barbie doll,
So, if that's what's
You're into
Then go ahead
And move along
Aubrey strutted her way over to Jesse as he watched her dancing. Stacie made her way over to Donald and straddled his lap backwards with her ass on him. Chloe and Beca were close to each other that they can feel each other's breath on their faces.
[All Bellas]
You know
I'm all about that bass,
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass,
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass,
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass,
'Bout that bass
The girls are having such a good time teasing the trebles, so more than others. Chloe and Beca were grinding on each other forgetting the fact that they are on the bus with the other Bellas and Trebles.
"Damn! I don't think a bucket of ice water can douse the heat from you two." Cynthia Rose said excitedly. Of course Lily mumbled something that no one heard. Everyone panting slightly out of breath, the girls took their seats as the driver announced the first stop on the tour.
The driver parked and opened the doors as he stood outside handing out pamphlets to each person as they exited the bus. Aubrey having her famous itinerary clip board in hand advising all of them to stay together earning a few grunts and protests. A young man dressed in slacks and a light blue button up shirt approached everyone with a smile.
"Good afternoon everyone, I'm Miles Davis and I'll be your tour guide. How's everyone today?" He greeted. All responded in unison of "good", "fine", and "ok".
"Firstly, I like to welcome you all to New Your City. This is the Rockefeller Center Promenade. The walkway was designed on an incline to draw traffic toward the complex. You can see the GE building at the opposite end of RCP." All eyes were amazed at the sizes of the buildings. Taking photo after photo.
"Next we have the Promenade Fountains displays of greenery and gardens breaking up the stone and concrete, creating on oasis in the "concrete jungle." All the plants on display are rotated to reflect the various seasons." Miles explained.
All the girls gathered around the fountains to take some pictures. Never a dull moment with the Trebles around to photobomb. Beca busted up laughing at Jesse's failed attempt when he trip and landed face first in the water. Aubrey wasn't amused at all as she stood glaring at Jesse when he couldn't even make eye contact with her. All the Trebles laughed and Jesse just frowned continuing to walk along the path.
"The GE building has 70 stories and is 850 feet tall, making it among the tallest buildings in New York City." Miles continued. Moving along, the tour continued with big sculptured paintings, the Industries of the British Commonwealth Buildings and Murals.
They all went aboard the Staten Island Ferry. This ride is a 5 mile, 25 minute New York Harbor water cruise from Manhattan to Staten Island. From the deck you can see The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. You'll also see skyscrapers and bridges of lower Manhattan. Everyone was enjoying the sights before them, flashing pictures and having fun. The last stop was in infamous Empire State Build. The Ferry docked on port and everyone exited to experience the beautiful sight before them.
Pamphlets were given out providing fun facts about the ginormous building. Some Trebles were talking crap about wanting to bungee jump from the top floor, like that would ever happen. Bellas were laughing at the guys acting like bad asses.
Beca and Chloe opened the leaflet to read the fun facts. Smiles arose on both their faces within a moment's time of each other.
Fun Facts about the Empire State Building
The Empire State Building is the most photographed in the world.
Couple can experience an electric shock when they kiss due to the static electricity at high heights.
The Empire State Building is like a lightning rod. It is struck an average of 23 times a year.
On a clear day, you can see fives states from our Observatories: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusettes.
There are more fun facts to read, however after the one about an electric kiss, the girls glanced at each other knowing that is something they are definitely going to try. The tour guide escorted the group into the building as they were met with the ESB tour guide to take them to the essential parts of the attractions within the building.
There are 102 floors to the Empire State Building. Floors 86 and 102 are observation decks for tourist attractions. The Trebles and Bellas enter the elevator for their first stop; 86th floor observatory. The elevator speed takes them there in less than one minute. The ping sounds and the doors open as they all exit the elevator.
There are crowds of people from all over the world to visit. The view is spectacular of all the buildings and the people are so tiny like specks of dust.
The tour guide allows everyone to spread throughout perimeter of the enclosed space with the instructions for 30 minutes of viewing before the next floor observatory.
Chloe grabs Beca's hand dragging her through the crowd and stop at one corner of the building. The bright, clear day makes the view more beautiful than you can imagine. Taking out their camera, each girl takes picture after picture including selfies of each other.
"Isn't this so beautiful Beca? I can only imagine what it looks like at night." Chloe said with her eyes sparkling from the sun. She puts her hands around the young girl's waist, kissing her neck lightly.
"It is but, nothing's more beautiful than you Chloe." Beca stated. Chloe pulled Beca closer in a tight embrace.
The girls heard a commotion at the other side and walked over to find an acrobatic couple performing. Turns out that the couple were part of Cirque Du Soleil performing their acrobatics for the tourists.
"Wow, that's awesome Chlo." Beca said excitedly.
"It is. They perform these shows once a week." Chloe replied looking through the pamphlet. The girls were pretty amazed at the performance, however, Beca had an idea of her own and grabbed Chloe's hand and dragged her through the crowd back into the building.
"Beca, what are yo-"Chloe was cut off by Beca lifting her into the air onto her shoulders. Chloe was completely taken by surprise by Beca's strength. The smirk on the young girl gave Chloe shivers knowing something interesting was coming.
The tiny brunette backed the redhead to the wall letting her slide down before pressing her lips hungrily to Chloe's. A spark between the two proved the fact of an electric kiss stated in the pamphlet was true. A tiny jolt flew between each girl's mouths as they smiled into the kiss not wanting to stop. Chloe was the first to break the kiss trying to compose herself while looking intensely into Beca's eyes.
"Yep, that's one electric kiss!" Beca said excitedly as she turned and walked away leaving Chloe with her thoughts on what just happened.
Catching up with Beca, Chloe laced their fingers together smiling walking back outside to watch the rest of the acrobatic show. Fifteen minutes later, the tour guide gathered the groups so they can go to the 102nd floor observatory for the last stop in the building. The tour ended around 4pm, giving everyone more than enough time to get ready for the nights activities and the Love is Louder Benefit.
A/N: Hey folks, I've decided to split this chapter into two parts. Hopefully, it won't take me as long to update. Also, don't own the song "All About That Bass" by Megan Trainor either. Thanks again for all the favs, follows and reviews. It means so much. Stay tuned for the next installment of our girls!
