AN: This wouldn't leave me alone and I just had to write it. My other PP story will be updated soon.

Disclaimer: I own nothing other than a few OCs that will make appearances here and there.

Prologue

Beca was thirteen when she met some sort of light in her darkness. Her parents kept fighting and the arguments always ended up in one of her parents storming out and not coming home till the next morning. It was usually her dad who left.

She had an anchor. Her best friend Benji. He never ceased to put a smile of her face. Most called him weird because of his fascination with Star Wars and magic tricks. Beca found it awesome. She always managed to figure out how Benji did his tricks but she never called him out on it. And she humored him when they were twelve and sat down with him to watch all six Star Wars movies in the order they were released.

The two were currently sat on the grass of Benji's front lawn across the street and one house down from Beca's own two story home. Her home didn't feel like home though. Benji's, Benji's always felt like home.

"Looks like we're getting new neighbors." Benji says and Beca looks up from her laptop. Her parents have been buying her a lot of things lately to keep her distracted. But she knew what was going on. She was currently putting a mix together. She knows it would sound a lot better if she had all the equipment for it. But for now it is just a program on her laptop.

Three houses down to the left of Beca's a moving truck is parking at the curb. A Toyota Sienna and Chevy Suburban pull up behind it. The van parks in the driveway and the Suburban parks in front of the U-haul.

"Seems like it." Beca says looking back at her laptop

"Think they have any kids our age?" Benji asks excitedly.

Beca shrugs. She doesn't see what's so exciting about all this. They are just people. Then again this is the suburbs. Everyone here knew each other in this neighborhood.

"We should go see if they need any help." Benji says and Beca frowns.

"Why?"

Benji pokes at her arm. "Because it's the neighborly thing to do." He hops to his feet and begins tugging at Beca's arm.

Beca rolls her eyes and gives in. "Fine. Let me just save this and put it inside." Benji fist pumps the air with a triumphant smile.

Beca saves her work and closes the laptop going inside Benji's house and places it on the coffee table in the living room. She walks back out and Benji offers his arm. Beca rolls her eyes but humors him anyway. She grabs onto his arm at the bend of his elbow and they make their way across the street.

Chloe Beale and her brothers weren't particularly happy about the move. Then again it only affected her and two of her brothers. Her other two are away at college and haven't lived at home since. But she and her two brothers have sucked it up. Her parents promised that with the move they would have more family time together. Chloe doesn't know whether to trust that or not. After all there were so many broken promises. But for now the only concern she has is getting the better room.

Andrew Beale is a kind man. He loves his family more than anything. Which is why when his wife gave him an ultimatum he left work and joined his family in the move. He would still do work from home but he wouldn't be away for weeks on end. He carried a box inside and could hear the sounds of his three children arguing and wrestling up stairs.

"John! Ethan! Your sister gets first pick!" He shouts and he hears two groans and a high pitched triumphant cry. He smiles and brings the box into the kitchen.

His wife walks in and smiles. "You do know that your little angel had one of her brother's in a choke hold and the other in an arm bar right?" She asks and Andrew beams proudly.

"That's my girl."

Kelly Beale just giggles and shakes her head before walking back outside to the U-haul. She notices two teenagers approach. A tall boy and a small girl who doesn't look like a teenager. But she knows that not all things are as they appear. She's been married to Andrew long enough to know that.

"Good day ma'am." The boy greets and Kelly is impressed at his mannerisms. "I am Benjamin Applebaum, I go by Benji and I live across the street and my friend and I noticed your moving truck and we are here to offer our assistance."

Kelly laughs as Benji extends a hand. "Nice to meet you Benji." She shakes his hand. She looks at the girl.

"Beca." She holds out her hand.

Kelly takes it and they shake hands. "Well Beca, it is nice to meet you. I'm Kelly Beale."

Beca smiles politely. She doesn't know these people but she isn't going to be rude to them either.

"Is there anything we can do?" Benji asks.

Kelly nods. "There is. My kids should be done picking their rooms and coming out to get their things. It is very nice of you to offer." Kelly says leading the two over to the u-haul. "How old are you two by the way?" She asks dragging out a box labeled 'Chloe.'

"Thirteen, Mrs. Beale." Benji answers. "We both are."

Kelly smiles. "My daughter is a year older than you two and my boys two and four years older."

Benji smiles at the prospect of another friend.

Beca is startled by a red head popping out from the side of the truck.

"Hey mom! I got my room and…" She looks at Benji and Beca. "Who are you?" She hadn't meant for it to come out rude. She was merely curious and excited. New place new people and she wanted to make new friends. "I mean, I'm Chloe." She sticks her hand out.

Benji is the first to introduce himself. "Benji." He shakes her hand.

Chloe looks at the shorter girl. She tilts her head to the side and looks Beca up and down. "You're short."

Benji snickers and Beca glares. "I am not short! You're all just tall!" Beca defends. "We can't all be giants, people will start looking for a beanstalk."

That makes Chloe and Kelly laugh.

"You're funny." Chloe says. "I like you."

Beca smiles and extends her hand. "Beca."

Chloe takes her hand. "Chloe."

So what'd you think? Should I continue this?
