Hey everyone! Here's the next one for you. Enjoy!
I still don't own Pitch Perfect. If I did it would be made into a TV series.
Episode 4: What We Do at the Water Park
After fifteen minutes of walking through the crowded water park, Beca finally found the perfect table. It was in a place where she could see what her kids were doing at all times. It's not like she was overprotective or anything but...
"Mom?" Josh groaned, "Did you finally pick a table?"
Beca examined it for a while, "Yeah. Go ahead guys."
The family of five plopped their stuff down. Well, mostly Jesse plopped stuff. But both Josh and Aiden thought differently.
"Jesus, that was heavy." Josh remarked as he set the lone beach bag down.
"You're impossible." Jesse almost seethed as he put down three beach bags, one umbrella, a cooler, and his and Beca's sunglasses.
Beca let out a laugh as the boys of the family continued to glare menacingly at each other. (At least they thought they looked menacing). She sat herself in a lawn chair and pulled Madi onto her lap as she giggled.
The two boys stood awkwardly around their swim trunks. "What are you waiting for? Go! Be free!" Beca shooed them off, and they practically bolted towards the huge array of slides and activities.
"Do you want to take Madi?" She asked Jesse, who was still resting from the load. "Seriously? Josh plays like... Fifty sports. But he still wouldn't help me carry anything. Really? I mean, I can understand Aiden, that kid couldn't knock a door down if his life depended on it but-"
"Daddy! Come on." Madi crawled off her mom's lap and slipped her hand in Jesse's. Beca raised an eyebrow at her husband. "Alright, alright. I'm going. What do you want to do first, Mads?" His voice faded into the distance as the two made their way towards the kiddie area.
Beca smiled and opened up her laptop. She knew she was on vacation and probably shouldn't be working, but she couldn't help it. She loved her job.
After an hour or two the family rejoined at the table, and Beca passed out sandwiches for lunch. "Hey, Aiden. Check out that hot babe!" Josh whispered loudly to his brother, who rolled his eyes in return. "There's no hope for you. I can see by the way she angles her hand on her hip and the way she styles her hair that she wouldn't be a very easy catch. According to my advanced psychology teacher, you can tell someone's personality quirks by-" Josh cut him off with a fake yawn.
"And what good is this useless brainiac info going to do for me?" He asked.
"Well, it would make it easier to tell who would be the easiest to flirt with to get a physical response."
"Are you saying you could get a girl before me?" Josh pondered inquisitively.
"I'm not challenging you." Aiden replied in monotone.
"But you're implying a challenge. You're on!" Josh said excitedly.
A silence overcame the table. Jesse started to smirk, and Beca realized what was about to happen. "God no, Jess-"
"I bet you one hundred dollars you couldn't get a girl to give you her number." Jesse said proudly.
"Are we that unattractive?" Aiden frowned.
"Heck no!" Jesse grinned cheekily. "You inherited the Swanson good looks."
Beca choked on her juice box and Jesse patted her back affectionately. "You okay there, Million Dollar Baby?"
"You're insane." Beca managed to get out before coughing again.
Jesse grimaced and the kids laughed. "If they got anything from you, especially you Joshy, it's your huge ass ego." Beca joked and Jesse rolled his eyes. Josh laughed harder until he realized what she said. "Wait, what? And how many times do I have to tell you people not to call me that?!"
"Bad word!" Madi chirped and Beca kissed her hair apologetically.
"So we on, shortstop?" Jesse raised his eyebrow curiously at Josh.
"I thought that was my nickname!" Beca pouted. Jesse winked suggestively and she giggled.
"Ew." Aiden grimaced, but no one else seemed to pick up on the meaning behind their parent's flirtatious exchange.
"Well, I'm short too, mom. Thanks a lot for that by the way." Josh deadpanned and Beca smiled in return.
"And of course, daddy." He sneered. "We are so on."
"Wait, we?" Aiden asked nervously.
"Definitely, bro. Come with me and let me teach you the art of seduction." He smirked confidently and threw his arm around Aiden, leading him away from the table.
"This is going to be hilarious." Jesse grinned and popped a piece of popcorn from the plastic bag into his mouth.
"I wouldn't underestimate them," Beca shrugged, "Somehow you got me. Your annoying persistence is in their blood."
"Har, har." Jesse stuck his tongue out at her, and she pulled him in for a quick kiss. "But I love you. So that persistence must be pretty special." She smiled and he echoed it. They both looked at Madi who was covering her eyes in embarrassment. "Gross!" She giggled and her parents laughed along with her.
The boys returned to their table five minutes before the park closed with matching poker faces. "So," Jesse asked, "How did it go?"
Josh rolled his eyes and plopped down on a chair. "No such luck, huh?" Jesse laughed.
"Actually," Aiden piped up, "He did ask, but the three girls he asked didn't have cell phones."
"That's too bad." Jesse smirked as Josh laid his head in his hands. "My game has failed me. This only means one thing. I must have no game." He whined and Jesse patted him on the back. "You'll get'm next time, sport."
Suddenly, Aiden whipped something out of his swim trunk pocket and placed it in front of Jesse. "What's this?"
"Lizzy's number." He said simply and started to pack up stuff casually.
"You actually did it?" Jesse's face contorted strangely. "Yeah." He shrugged.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Text her!" Jesse instructed his son excitedly.
"Nah, she wasn't my type. Too blonde and too high of a ponytail. I just did it to get the money I need to build that model rocket." He stuck out his hand expectantly and Jesse stared at him, dumbfounded.
Beca laughed and hugged Madi to her chest tightly. "Do me a favor, okay? Never take a bet from your daddy. And stay my little girl forever."
"I will, mommy." She replied and smiled Jesse's infamous toothy grin.
Thanks again for reading! Please REVIEW and let me know what you think! If you have any ideas for an episode, review and let me know. The title would have to be "What We Do…etc". I might just use it! I'm always looking for new ideas.
