Not long after the whole shirt escapade, Beca decided to go to bed. She changed into some pajamas that she left in Chloe's room. The brunette looked at her now-ruined favorite shirt. She sighed, "I can't believe this happened to my favorite fucking shirt," she muttered.

"It's not that bad," Chloe said as she walked into the room.

"It is bad. Look at this. It's completely ruined," Beca said.

The mind reader looked at her, "It's a shirt. I'll get you a new one just like it."

She smiled at Chloe, "Thank you, but it's okay. I have too many shirts anyways."

"I'm your girlfriend, I can get you things when I want to," Chloe stated, hugging Beca from behind.

The DJ hummed in approval, "That you are."

Chloe pulled away and changed while Beca climbed into bed. The redhead wasn't far behind her, "Today has been crazy."

"You're telling me," Beca chuckled, "I'm glad I don't have to choose again 'cause that would suck to have to do twice."

"I bet. As long as I don't die, you'll be okay," Chloe smiled.

"Well, luckily for you, I'm not gonna let that happen. You're going to be safe as long as I'm around," Beca said.

"You do know that you can't be with me all the time, right?" the older woman asked.

"Yeah, I know, but that doesn't mean I can't check up on you or something," Beca replied.

"Check up on me? How are you gonna do that when you have to be at class and stuff too?" Chloe asked.

"I don't know right now, but I'll figure it out," the brunette sighed.

"So does it feel different? Being a Guardian, I mean. I know it felt kind of different when I chose Light but is it weird?" Chloe was laying on her side, staring at Beca.

"If you mean different as in my back hurting like hell, then yes, but other than that, not really. I'm still allowed on Dark territory and stuff," Beca said, "It's not really all that different from being undecided."

"I guess that makes sense. Are you gonna tell the other Bellas?"

"I don't know, maybe. It's not really any of their business anyway."

"They'll probably know sooner or later. Word about people choosing a side gets around fast in our world."

"Technically, I didn't choose a side. I chose you."

Chloe grinned, "That is literally the cutest thing you have ever said, Beca Mitchell."

"Well, it's true Chloe Beale," the DJ smiled, "I chose to protect you at all costs. I'm not going to let anyone hurt you ever. I promise."

"That's a big promise to make."

"It's a promise I intend to keep."

The ginger looked into her girlfriend's eyes for a while as she smiled. They both stayed like that for a while. Chloe eventually spoke up, "I love you."

Beca's smile grew, "I love you, too."

Chloe shifted her way closer to Beca and kissed her. It was probably one of the sweetest kisses they had ever had. They were both so happy to be able to call each other theirs. Beca's hands found Chloe's waist and the redhead's hands cupped Beca's face.

After they pulled away, they kept their faces close and just stared at each other. At that point, it was just them. No one else even existed. They could have stayed like that forever, but Beca yawned.

"You need to go to sleep, sleepyhead," Chloe giggled.

"Sleepyhead? Really?" the smaller woman tried not to laugh.

"Yes, really," the ginger smiled as she rolled onto her back.

Beca cuddled up to her, putting her head on Chloe's shoulder and entangling their legs. Right after she got comfortable, though, her eyes shot open, "Wait, you can't sleep like that!"

"What? Why not?"

"Because you might swallow a spider or choke on your own saliva or something."

"Don't be ridiculous, Becs. I'll be fine. I've slept like this a million times."

"You can't. I'm not going to sleep until you lay on your side."

Chloe rolled her eyes and flipped onto her side, "There, happy?"

Beca nodded, "Yeah, that's better."

The redhead wrapped her arms around Beca, "Good, now go to sleep."

"Goodnight," Beca said with a yawn.

"Night, Becs," Chloe smiled.

The next morning Beca woke to a bed without Chloe in it. At first, she thought nothing of it, closing her eyes again, but then the fire alarm went off.

The brunette's eyes shot open and she darted out the bedroom door, frantically searching for her girlfriend, "Chloe?!" She then saw the mind reader opening a window and climbing onto the counter to try and wave the smoke away from the smoke detector, "What the hell are you doing?"

"I was trying to make some muffins for breakfast, but it didn't go too well," she laughed.

"Get down from there," Beca said as she used her powers to make the smoke go away from the detector and out the window.

Chloe climbed down, "Sorry, I kind of ruined it."

"It's fine, I was just worried about you."

"You don't need to worry about me, Beca. I'm fine, see?"

"It's my job to worry about you," the DJ said.

"I guess it is, isn't it?" Chloe laughed again, "Sorry, I guess I'm just scatterbrained today."

"Stop apologizing. I'm just glad you're okay."

The redhead grinned, "Well, I'm glad that you're glad." She grabbed an apple and reached for a knife so she could cut it into slices. Before she could, Beca used her powers once again and slid the knives away from Chloe.

"You're going to hurt yourself. I promised you I wouldn't let anyone hurt you. That includes you," Beca crossed her arms.

Chloe rolled her eyes, "Becs, I'm not gonna hurt myself. I've cut apples a thousand times."

"Let me do it," Beca said, using her powers once again.

"It must be great," the ginger laughed.

The Bender tilted her head, "What?"

"Being able to do everything without even moving," Chloe smiled, "It'd make everything easier."

"It's not as easy as it looks. I've got to really focus. I'm still kind of new to this," Beca finished cutting the apple and gave it to her girlfriend, "Here you go."

Chloe grabbed an apple slice, "Thank you," she said as she popped it in her mouth.

"I've got class soon," Beca sighed, "I don't want to go."

"Well, you have to go to class. I don't want you to get kicked out. That would suck."

"I'm supposed to be with you all the time to protect you."

"Beca, you know you can't be with me every single second of the day. It would be great if you could, but you can't. I'll be fine. I know how to control people if it comes to that."

"But what if you don't see whoever is coming at you?"

"I will be okay, I promise. I'll meet you after classes, though."

"But that's so long to wait," the brunette whined.

Chloe giggled, "You're so cute."

"I am not," Beca crossed her arms.

"Yes, you are," the taller woman grinned.

"I'm a badass," she defended.

The redhead reached out and hugged Beca, "You're my badass."

The DJ smiled, "I am."

"My badass that needs to get to class," Chloe gave her a peck on the cheek, "I've only got one class today, and it's at the same time as one of your classes today. I'll meet you in the courtyard afterward."

"Fine," Beca gave up, "Just stay safe, okay?"

"I will be okay, Beca," Chloe smiled, "Stop worrying so much."

It wasn't long until the ginger made Beca leave to go to her class. As the Bender walked to her first class, she sighed, thinking about Chloe, 'I'm not supposed to leave her alone. I'm, like, the worst Guardian ever,' she thought. She knew that it was necessary. Her first class was Speech, which is what she dreaded the most. Beca did not like public speaking. Now, if it was singing, she could probably do it, but this was completely different.

She walked into the classroom and took a seat in the third row and looked around. There weren't many people there yet, but they would probably show up in the next few minutes. She just silently hoped that no one would sit next to her.

Of course, not even five seconds later, a kid came and sat next to her. She sighed and glanced at him, seeing he had a feather tattoo on his arm, "What can you do?" she asked.

"What?" the guy looked at her.

Beca pointed at the feather, "What can you do?"

He looked around, making sure no one heard her, "We're not supposed to talk about this stuff in the open."

"It's not like anyone is listening to us," Beca said, "I'm a Bender."

"I know you are," he whispered, "Everyone in our world knows who you are. You're, like, the one person who hasn't chosen a side and you're already in college."

"Well, my powers didn't show up until two weeks before, so you can't blame me," the brunette matched his volume.

"So you're a late bloomer?"

"Yeah, I guess so. I didn't know anything about this until I saved Chloe. It was really weird."

"That was your stressor."

"My stressor?"

"Usually, our powers don't surface until we have something that stresses us more than usual."

"Well, I don't know how mine didn't surface when I was really little then because I've been stressed my whole life."

"See, you were used to being stressed about whatever it was, so when the stress of seeing someone about to lose their life came apparent, your powers kicked in."

Beca sighed, holding her head in her hands, "I don't understand this world."

"It'll take time," he said.

"I'm-"

"Beca, I know. My name is Benji," he held his hand out.

The DJ shook his hand, "Anyway, back to my question. What can you do, Benji?"

"I'm a Time Traveler," he smiled.

Beca's jaw dropped, "No way."

"It's not that big of a deal."

"No, wait. Okay, this is going to sound complicated and stuff, but I met the future me. She got sent back in time and she's helping me train for this war that's supposed to happen because apparently Chloe will get killed in it and I'm her Guardian now so I have to protect her and-"

"Wait, back up. You're a Guardian? That's impossible."

"Not anymore. Anyway, the future me told me that I'm going to meet the one that sent her back in time soon. I didn't think she meant the next day."

"You've interacted with your future self?"

"Yeah, she basically kidnapped Chloe and me."

"Oh no. That's not good."

"What? What's not good?"

"She-"

Just then, the professor walked in and he started to speak. He explained they were going to have to give their first speech next week. The professor talked about other things, but she couldn't focus on what he was saying.

What the hell was he going to say?
