A/N: Yeah, I probably can't prolong things anymore after this chapter.

Anyways, I feel like some of the things Stacie says here needed to be said.

Thanks for all the support! Reviews and comments are always appreciated.

I don't own pitch perfect.

"So I've ran some simulations."

Those were the first words that flew straight out of Stacie's mouth as soon as Beca entered her lab with Aubrey. She met the blonde at the parking lot, arriving almost simultaneously.

Stacie looked quite stressed out and overworked.

And for the length of time – twenty two days to be exact, Beca's definitely counting the days she's had to live without Chloe – she had been in this world, this was the first time Beca saw her like that.

Definitely not a good sign.

Stacie motioned for Beca and Aubrey to grab a seat before she continued to go on.

Yeah, definitely not a good sign.

"And?" Aubrey urged her wife on.

"Our worlds are definitely on each other's trajectory. Our earth is moving closer to Beca's world, and with the thin fabric of the time and space continuum still having an unresolved rift with Beca being here and her own world still in a standstill, there's a chance the two worlds will end up merging and colliding."

"You have got to be kidding me." Beca deadpanned.

"There's more, I'm afraid. The longer Beca stays here, the more she'll be able to easily blend her memories with our world's Beca's memories – this I get from the readings of her brain activities from our experiments and from what Beca tells us herself. And as it seems, the more Beca remembers, the more our earth moves closer to Beca's world. In other words, it's what's establishing the connection."

"What happens when Beca remembers everything our Beca knows?" Aubrey asked.

"Convergence of the two worlds." Stacie simply answered.

Beca groaned. "Great. This is just great. Can't I ever get a shot at happiness? Why is it that when I finally found the strength to give it a go, things just keep rolling in to hinder said plan of giving it a go?"

"Beca, it's not all terrible." Stacie then said prompting confused looks from both Aubrey and the DJ. "I'm developing this item that can help send your consciousness back to your world when it's time. I think I was right to hypothesize that emotions are the key, well emotions and the right conditions. We have to replicate the same events that happened the first night we ran our instrument and we have to get you to feel the same powerful emotion you felt before you woke up here. What was the last thing you remember from that night of the meteor shower?"

"I was telling myself that if I get a chance with Chloe, I'll never let her go."

"Then you go win Chloe." Stacie said before Aubrey interrupted.

"We're already on that. But hang on a sec here Stace, you said the same exact conditions as the night of the first meteor shower."

"I know Bree, and as luck would have it the universe – or should I say the multiple universes? – is or are conspiring to aid us for our cause. There's going to be a meteor shower in a month's time."

"But in a month's time is the night before Chloe's wedding? And won't staying here longer only get Beca to tap deeper into our world's Beca's memories?"

"Right, so timing is essential with our DJ and Red, but we'll figure something out." Stacie said, before fumbling through the pockets of her lab coat. "Meanwhile I have this sort of medication for Beca to take, once a day only." she then added handing Beca some sort of small package. "That should slow down our Beca's memory to surface through this Beca's memories."

Beca nodded.

Everything sounded so complicated.

But she just had to put her faith in Stacie.

And whatever Aubrey was planning.

She could feel her stomach being tied in tight knots.

She was nervous, and afraid.

What if she never makes it back to her Chloe?

What if she does and Chloe still chooses to be with Kyle? Or in this world, with Jesse?

The odds were stacked up against her.

But she had to stick it out and fight.

Chloe was usually the one who builds her hopes up. But she wasn't here now.

The next day was a rough one.

Aubrey kept her company explaining to her that Chloe's already agreed to have her as her DJ, and that she was quite ecstatic too. She's just been too busy with last minute wedding prep so she can't meet with her yet.

Stacie was working double time in her lab to right the wrongs of the 'tiny' little lab incident that brought Beca here in the first place.

Amy and Cynthia Rose checked on Beca through phone calls and emails. Thankful once again for meeting the DJ, both expressing how they never imagined that the famous music producer could be such a good friend to them both.

Jessica and Ashley did the same thing.

Lilly invited herself over before Beca was even awake, leaving behind some souvenir from some foreign country she's never even heard of.

Emily and Flo both dropped by at different times to spend some time with Beca, help build her confidence, just be good friends.

Nothing ever comes easy.

And no situation could be more complicated than the one she was in at the moment.

Beca had a quiet dinner alone.

In other words, pizza and wings from her favorite place.

And that was the plan.

So she was a little surprised to see Stacie show up unannounced.

"Hey Stace. Pizza?"

"I've never known you to be homebody. You've really changed the Beca I know." Stacie commented as she made her way next to Beca.

"Or maybe I'm just peeling away the layers and letting go of the pretense." Beca replied.

"Maybe."

"So what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be on your way home? I'm sure I've been keeping you away from Aubrey for far too long all thanks to helping me go back home."

"Nah, Aubrey understands. Just wanna see how you're holding up."

"I'm fine." Beca replied as she settled back to her earlier ace with the pizza and the silent droning sound of whatever was on TV that she wasn't really paying attention to in the first place.

"Stace?" Beca asked after a few minutes of silence, Stacie taking up Beca's offer by taking a slice of pizza.

"Yeah Becs?"

"Why am I here? Why did this have to happen? Why couldn't things have gone out as plan?"

"Nothing ever goes as planned Beca. I remember when I proposed to Aubrey, I thought it would be romantic as hell. Instead she got mad at me for three whole days because she was planning to propose during our anniversary. She was upset I beat her to it."

Beca let out a little laugh. "That actually sounds like the Aubrey I know. Although it doesn't make sense at all for anyone to react that way."

"Yeah, well sometimes things just don't. They happen even when we don't want them to for a reason, and we only figure out what the reason is once everything is over."

"Do you think I'll get my happy ending?"

"I think you will. I've always known there was something more to you, the womanizing badass DJ that Aubrey introduced me to once upon a dinner party. We've never been this close, but I'd say we've become good friends over the past year or so."

"Fast friends." Beca then whispered with a knowing smile.

"Maybe not fast friends. I was a little worried you would try and steal my girl away from me Mitchell."

"Not even in your wildest dreams would I dare to do that Stace. Trust me."

Stacie laughed. "And what was that supposed to mean?

"Nothing. I just can't believe I was being such an idiot all this time! I mean, even in this world, you guys seem to find the right track, and I keep messing up."

"I don't think that's true Beca. Technically you're already engaged to Chloe if you consider that silly childhood promise to hold true. Besides, maybe Aubrey and I found our way to each other before meeting you – we met through the Bellas after all – but you helped out too. Cynthia Rose, Amy, heck even Bumper. And maybe that's why you're here, because we needed you. We needed you to fix us or parts of us, to get us to become who we are instead of just dreaming of becoming who we want to be. We needed you to let us embrace the truth of ourselves. And we needed you to realize the truth you've been trying to avoid every now and then too. We're all learning from each other Beca, finding little wisdoms here and there through our situation now. And truth be told, even if Aubrey and I have barely seen each other the past few weeks, I think you've helped us grow even closer too. Even if it's just to remind us to cherish what we have and how lucky we are."

"Well, glad to be of service." Beca said, her trademark smirk once again gracing her features after what felt like forever.

"That's it Beca! Maybe what you need to do is to correct the wrongs, to make your way back home and fix your mistakes too."

"What on earth are you talking about now Stace? We've already established that I need to go and get the girl." Beca said in response to Stacie's sudden excitement.

"No, I meant fix this Beca's life, our Beca's life, because the way she's been living, she would have let our Chloe slip away. She's given up on a lot of people, and even if she was holding on to the promise she made as a little girl to our beloved redhead, she's not exactly trusting, you know. Not like you. You've placed your faith on me and Bree to help you out. You trusted us and let us in."

Beca looked thoughtful for a moment.

That was true.

She didn't even notice.

The walls she built around here were no longer there.

All gone from when Chloe first started breaking right through it.

Because she met her Chloe, and every time she tried to rebuild the walls, the redhead would tear it down again.

And it wasn't just Chloe.

It was all the Bellas.

Amy, CR, Stacie, and yes even Aubrey.

She still kept her distance.

But she wasn't that afraid anymore.

And Beca smiled at the thought.

"I think the only difference is Chloe really. Yeah, I met her here when I was younger, but I met her before my world crumbled and lost her when I was fortifying my walls. In my world, the walls were up first and she came smashing through without even faltering."

"Sounds like our Chloe too."

Beca laughed.

Looks like Chloe is the same Chloe no matter what universe or reality.

She could testify that from 'Juliet of the Bellas' Chloe to vampire Chloe to ordinary school girl Chloe living in a magical world.

Because no matter what place, what circumstance, what situation, they keep finding their way to each other.

The thought itself ignited that tiny spark of hope in Beca's heart.

She promised when she made her wish after all, to never let Chloe slip if she gets the chance.

So her resolve was stronger now more than ever.

Because she's planning to fulfill all those promises.

"You know what Stace, I'm starting to believe in that red thread of Fate you were talking about."

"You definitely should."
