The dining hall looked as if a tornado called "Messy" passed by, and more than once. The Bellas were searching everywhere for the stolen box, without much success. They were actually pretty surprised at the amount of unnecessary stuff inside the building, adding of course the girl's (also unnecessary amount) of luggage.

"Here it is!" Announced Stacie from a corner. She held the box over her head so everyone else could see she got it.

"Thank God, officer! This was starting to feel worse than exercise for rehearsals" Said Amy.

The girls met at the centre of the hall and Stacie carefully left the box in the middle, stepping back in silence. Tension was in the air, Flo, Lilly and CR giggled nervously. The Bellas were all looking around, into each other's eyes waiting for someone to say something. All of them but Beca, she wasn't even in the centre of the hall.

"Hey, did you find it inside this bag?" Beca asked from the corner where Stacie was before. Her voice startled everyone and they turned around to face her.

The small brunette was holding up a big sports bag that was open and still had a few clothes inside. Chloe's clothes.

Stacie nodded in response and all eyes followed Beca as she walked towards them, still holding the bag. Her eyes were fixed on Chloe's, who looked confused. In fact she was struggling trying to decide if she should laugh or look guilty or what the heck she had to do in this situation. Everything pointed her out as the thief.

"Natalie?" Beca said, serious. "Why was my box inside your bag?"

Chloe glanced at the box on the floor, then at the bag and then at Beca. Did this mean the game was over?

"I umm..." Chloe didn't know what to say.

"I knew it!" Said Emily, acting furious and triumphant. "It was all a plan they both had to come here and make us talk, write a story in the newspaper about our dirty business!"

"Excuse me, my business is not dirty!" Amy snapped.

"Tell that to the hotel room you used last month in the middle of your tour! Mud fight!? Really!?" Emily answered.

In between laughter and crazy arguments the girls had some minutes of extra fun, blaming each other for the theft that had been made and making up the craziest explanations for everything. Suddenly the sound of clapping hands created silence among them.

"I don't know about you, guys. But I am dying to see what the hell is inside that box that is so important" Aubrey said.

"That's true, the thief should open it and show us" Ashley suggested pointing at Chloe with a smile.

The redhead just walked towards to box and kneeled on the floor next to it. She didn't see Beca's eyes full of tears or her excited smile. The rest of her friends did notice though, and they finally understood. The whole place was illuminated by their smiles.

Chloe opened the box to find her yellow cup inside, upside down. The place got brighter adding her smile to the others. Her eyes found her friends', in silent understanding. Then she found Beca, standing there visibly nervous. The redhead stood up holding the yellow cup and Beca stepped forward clearing her throat. Some audible whispers like "Oh my God!" "Is this Beca Mitchell!?" "Will she...?" sounded around the couple.

As Chloe turned the cup around she saw a silver ring taped inside it. Her beautiful blue eyes grew wider and found Beca's full of tears. No words could be spoken right then, instead they crashed in a big tight hug.

For a couple of seconds the Bellas didn't understand completely, until someone saw the shining ring inside the cup and screamed "She's proposing!" That's when all of them went completely crazy, dancing happily around the cute couple.

When Beca found her voice, without letting Chloe go, she whispered in her ear: "Will you marry me?"

The redhead whispered back her "Yes!"

In between breaking that hug and being hugged by their friends in a bone-breaker way, Beca had the chance to say "Also, I am ready to hear that story"

THE END.
