If you haven't read this fic, please do..it's very cute. Also just a quick note on trying to write all the elements of singing A' Capella..hope it's not too confusing to read. Thanks again for following. Songs used...My Best Friend's Girl/The Cars, Super Trouper/ABBA, Teenage Dream/Katy Perry)
Chapter 14-Teenage Dream
Chloe and Beca had been dating for over a month and despite trying everything in her power to escalate their physical relationship beyond the second base action, Beca couldn't seem to get any further with her much more experienced girlfriend. She did the only thing she could think of to solve the problem, she asked Jessie for his advice.
Jessie seeing the caller ID, Answered his cell right away. "What's up Short Bus?"
"Why can't you just stick with one thing...why do you always have to reference my size in such obnoxious ways?"
"Well, I know you hate it...and I enjoy your pain. How's life in Bella Camp?"
"Camp's good, I've got some really cool kids this session. I love that they chose a week for just teens, it's great to be able to have a more mature group this time around...but..." she hesitated for a moment not knowing how to broach the sensitive subject.
"But what?"
"But...things with Chloe, that's a whole other story.""
"What's the matter I thought you and Chloe were going super sonic strong"
"Well, yeah we were at the beginning, but now...with camper's running everywhere through camp, and so few nights off, we don't get that much alone time, ya know?"
"And when you do?"
"When we do...it's like Chloe is so protective and careful, she's treating me like I'll break or something. Anytime we start making progress, and I think I'm actually going to get somewhere, she stops us with some excuse about needing things to be just right for me."
"Hmm." silence descends the call.
"Really, that's all you're going to give me?"
"Well Becs, I don't know what to say except it looks like you're officially one of the guys now."
"Huh?"
Jessie laughing... "you don't think that every guy in the world hasn't been in your shoes right now? Face it..You're a typcial horn dog at the moment, and your girl is playing hard to get..it's classic."
"Ok, so what do I do about it..studly?"
"I'm glad you asked grasshopper" "You have to go above and beyond...be irresistible...be her fantasy."
"How am I supposed to do that?"
"I don't know, you're the one dating her, what does Chloe love?"
Beca thought for a moment..Chloe loved everything..but there were a few things that she kept closer to her heart. "Well, she definitely loves music...she loves kids...oh, and she absolutely loves this camp."
"Yeah, so find a way to use all of that to your advantage."
"Hmm." Beca found her mind racing with how to accomplish her task...lost in thought her friend interrupted.
"And Beca?"
"Yeah?"
"Make it memorable."
"Thanks oh wise master. Talk to you later, ok?"
"You bet" He said, and closed his phone.
Beca returned to her seat in the dining hall, as lunch was coming to close. Chloe stood to make her daily activity announcement to the group.
"Listen up Aca-people...tonight is the All Camp A'Capella Competition. Let's make sure we show those trebles..why the Bellas Aca-rule!" Claps and stomps started all over the dining area, chanting..."Bellas Rule" "Bellas Rule"
"Beca?" Chloe tapped the brunette on the shoulder.
"Yeah?"
"Cynthia Rose has the night off, I'll need you to lead her team in the competition..is that ok?" The red-head asked.
"Sure, no problem Chloe.."
"You'll need to spend the day working on your routine..I'm not sure they have anything worked out yet."
"Got it Chlo...wait did you say my routine..don't you mean their routine?" Beca questioned that she miss-understood something.
"Well actually this is a Counselor competition, the kids just sing back-up. Don't stress though...you're a great singer, you'll do fine. It's just for fun anyway."
"Ugh Chloe, you know I hate to be the center of attention...I need to be behind the scenes." Beca began to consider taking one of her panic pills at the thought.
Chloe pulled Beca in for a hug, whispering in her ear ensuring not to be overheard... "Babe, you'll be amazing, I can't wait to see you perform..it's going to drive me crazy." she brushed her newly moistened lips ever so gently against Beca's ear before breaking the embrace.
Beca struggled to keep her composure, just nodded blankly and Chloe smiled as she made her exit, convinced she had Beca properly motivated for the evening.
Beca for her part, thought about the newly presented opportunity, and her stress subsided as an idea popped in her head. Suddenly she knew exactly what to do.
"Beca...Beca, snap out of it." Stacie yelled from behind.
"Oh..hi Stacie, hey, are you working with any of the groups yet?"
"Nope."
"Well I'd like to get your help if you're free."
"For you my little luscious DJ..anytime."
"Great thanks."..Beca pulled out her cell phone.
"Jessie?"
"Wow, Becs, two calls in one day...better not let Aubrey find out!"
"Shut up and listen..I've worked out that problem we were discussing earlier."
"Oh yeah?"
"I could use your help on it."
"Beca..if you're thinking of two girls and a guy...I'm totally in"
"Shut up you perv and listen..I need you to head into town and get a few things for me."
5 hours later...each group gathered for their performances..the Treble-Makers came over with their campers to give an audience...and judges.
Good evening guys and gals and welcome to Camp A Capella's Aca-Counselor Competition..the Ginger said with a huge smile.
Tonight we have 3 counselors performing for the coveted Golden Mic Award.
"First up...Denise and the Boxers..." the audience applauded as the performers took the stage. Suddenly they began making music with their mouths..
(ummpa boda..)
(ummpa boda...ummpa boda..)
(ummpa boda... )
(ummpa boda..)
(ummpa boda...ummpa boda..)
(ummpa boda... )
You're always dancing down the street
With your suede blue eyes
And every new boy that you meet
He doesn't know the real surprise
(here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
Oo, she'll make you flip
(here she comes again)
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
I kinda like the way she dips
Well she's my best friend's girl
She's my best friend's girl-irl
But she used to be mine...
The song ended and applause and whistles erupt...
Chloe stood up from her post in the judges box and introduced the next group..
"Excellent Job Denise and the boxers...Now, And all the way from down under..Fat Amy and the Dynamoes..."
Fat Amy took the stage in a wild costume and wig. She struck a pose, then the voices of her back-up singers rose with her own...
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me...
But I won't feel blue...
Like I always do...
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you...
(Su papa..Trou papa)
(Su..papa..Trou papa)
I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat and sleep and sing
Wishing every show was the last show
(Wishing every show was the last show)
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming
(Glad to hear you're coming)
Suddenly I feel all right
(And suddenly it's gonna be)
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight
Tonight the
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Like I always do
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd... there's you.
Thundering Claps and Cheers came from the audience..
Chloe again approached the stage... "Wow that's gonna be tough to beat, don't you think? Great job, absolutely fantastic...Ok, and for our last group...welcome Team Beca!"
"Wait a minute Chloe..we need you to sit here please" Stacie, who was helping place the chair in the middle of the stage said to the ginger.
"Who me?" Chloe asked in confusion.
"Yep, it's part of the routine...thank you." And Stacie immediately left the stage. From the right..the campers filed in, with their leader.
As Chloe sat in the middle of the stage..Beca took her hand and counted out 1,2,3,4...the group behind her began to sing.
( .Dum,Dum,Dum,Dum,Dum . . .)
( . Dum,Dum,Dum,Dum,Dum. . .)
And then Beca, began to sing directly to her ginger.
You think I'm pretty without any make-up on
(Sch..Sch..Sch..Sch..Sch..Sch)
You think I'm funny when I tell the punch line wrong..
I know you get me, so I let my walls come down...down
( .Dum,Dum,Dum,Dum,Dum . . .)
( . Dum,Dum,Dum,Dum,Dum. . .)
(The group began to snap and move side to side in a circle around Chloe)
The small brunette never lost eye contact with Chloe.
Before you met me, I was alright
(Sch..Sch..Sch..Sch..Sch..Sch)
But things were kinda heavy, you brought me to life
Now every February you'll be my Valentine, Valentine
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
(Dance..Dance.. )
You and I, we'll be young forever
You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream
(Te...en)
The way you turn me on, I can't sleep
Let's runaway and don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops when you look at me
Just one touch, now baby I believe
This is real, so take a chance
And don't ever look back, don't ever look back
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
(Dance..Dance.. )
You and I, we'll be young forever...
You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream
(Te...en)
The way you turn me on, I can't sleep
Let's runaway and don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops when you look at me
Just one touch, now baby I believe
This is real, so take a chance
And don't ever look back, don't ever look back
(Don't ever look...Don't ever look).
I'ma get your heart racing in my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me in my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight.
(tonight...tonight..tonight)
The song ended, as Beca turned and plopped down into Chloe's lap.
Thunderous applause erupted and the entire crowd rose to its feet...Stomping loudly on the bleachers.
Beca stood and pulled Chloe from her seat into an embrace...
"I'm hoping you got my hint...because I'm not sure I can pull that off again.." The smaller girl said with a chuckle.
Chloe smiled devilishly at her girlfriend.."I think I have a pretty good idea what you were trying to say, yeah."
"Good, cause I'm hoping after we're done here, you'll go for a drive with me" Beca smiled slyly.
"Yep, I think that can be arranged." The red-head winked with her response.
