Stacie ran into Beca's room and jumped onto her bed. "Beca, let's go, we're late." She hadn't seen Aubrey since the night before, she'd sent her home claiming they both needed to be rested for their first rehearsal the next day. Stacie hoped that wouldn't be a common thing now because rehearsals were every day.

"Dude, knock much?" Beca rolled her eyes at her.

Stacie ignored her and started shaking her chair. "Beca, come on! I told Bree I'd be there early."

"Why did I let you talk me into joining this thing? You never said anything about two hour long rehearsals every single day."

Stacie snorted. "I did not talk you into anything, Chloe asked and you immediately said yes."

Beca stood up and grabbed her bag mumbling as she walked out of the room. Stacie smiled at how awkward Beca was about Chloe. They hadn't even been on their date yet. She followed her out and they made their way to the gym. "What are we even going to do for two hours?"

Stacie shrugged. "I'm just going to look at the beautiful blonde in the front."

"Gross"

"Like you're not gonna be staring at Chloe the whole time." Stacie stuck out her tongue at her.

"I, unlike you, Miss Conrad, have some self control."

Stacie smirked. "Maybe you should loosen up a little and ask her out for real after rehearsal."

"Maybe."

They walked into the gym. Aubrey and Chloe were the only ones there. Chloe was stretching next to Aubrey and Beca's jaw dropped. "Oh yes, I can see your self control."

Stacie dropped her bag and ran. She grabbed Aubrey from behind, lifting her and spinning her around. Aubrey yelped and flailed her legs laughing. "Stacie! Put me down!"

Stacie let her down and Aubrey turned, throwing her arms around her neck and kissing her briefly. "Hey, baby."

"Hey." Stacie smiled. She could feel her heart racing. She kissed her and wrapped her arms around her waist, pulling her closer. Aubrey started playing with the hairs on the back of Stacie's neck sending shivers down her spine.

"Huh, guess Stacie is the cure for stick-in-the-butt syndrome." Beca said.

Chloe elbowed her. "Hey! That's my best friend you're talking about."

They heard a low whistle behind them. "Is that the welcoming ritual? Because I'm so in." They turned and saw CR nodding. Beca laughed as Chloe tried to think of an answer.

The rest of the girls started arriving and Chloe walked up to Aubrey and Stacie and cleared her throat. They continued making out. "Guys…" No response. "Guys!"

They stopped kissing and Aubrey turned to look at Chloe, her arms still around Stacie's neck. "Yes, Chloe?"

"I think we can start rehearsal now." Chloe motioned with her head at the group of girls behind her staring at them.

"Oh, great!" Aubrey smiled. She dropped her arms and wiggled out of Stacie's, taking her hand and walking her to the chairs. "Okay! Sopranos in the front, altos in the back."

Aubrey moved to the front and waited for all the girls to take their seats. "As you can see, Kori is no longer with us. She got treble boned." Stacie's hand shot up. "Yes, Stacie?"

"There isn't a rule against sleeping with Bellas, right?" Stacie asked seriously.

Aubrey blushed. "No, Stacie, there isn't. Ha-" Stacie's hand shot up again. "Yes?"

"What are you doing after rehearsal?" Aubrey's blush intensified. The rest of the girls chuckled and Aubrey could tell this wasn't going to help her assert her authority. She knew Stacie was just being flirty as usual and she loved it, just not now.

"Stacie, can I talk to you in private for a sec?" Aubrey smiled stiffly and motioned to the back of the room.

"Get it girl!" CR yelled as the rest of the girls made various sounds of approval. Stacie winked at them and followed Aubrey. She could sense Aubrey's tension. She bit her lip and got close to Aubrey.

Aubrey stopped when she was out of earshot and held Stacie back by her shoulders. "Baby, you know I love you very much, but I'm this team's captain and you saying things like that isn't going to make them respect me."

"I'm sorry, Bree, I didn't-"

Aubrey lifted her hand stopping her. "I know, Stace, it's okay. I just think we need to set some ground rules for Bellas events."

Stacie nodded. "Okay, so no sexual comments."

"Yes." Aubrey started counting things off with her fingers. "No inappropriate touching, no kissing, no pet names…"

"No fun." Stacie pouted.

Aubrey chuckled. "You can do all of those things before and after rehearsal." She looked back at the group of girls, they were focused on something Chloe was saying. Aubrey took Stacie's hand and stepped closer.

Stacie smiled and rolled her eyes. "Fine."

Aubrey pecked her lips. "I love you."

"Alright, Chloe and I will be working with you individually so if you can split into two groups, one with Chloe and one with me." The girls started to walk to different sides of the room. Aubrey looked confused when Stacie walked towards Chloe. "Stacie, what are you doing?"

"Umm, splitting up… I thought you said we should do that."

"Yes, but why are you going with Chloe?" Aubrey tried not to sound whiney but she all but stomped her foot. "Switch with someone."

Stacie skipped over to Aubrey's side of the room with a smile. "Now, let's start with vocal warm ups. So, Stace, come with me. You'll go first."

Stacie walked over to the piano with Aubrey. "Okay, now stand straight, relax your shoulders, and do what I do." Aubrey pursed her lips and started rolling her tongue. Stacie imitated her. After a couple of times Aubrey stopped and nodded at Stacie to continue. "Good, baby, feel it in your stomach, not your shoulders." She placed a hand on Stacie's back between her shoulderblades and poked her abs with two fingers before moving her hand up to Stacie's chest. "Great." She moved the hand on her chest up to her jaw and held it. "Relax your neck, babe." She moved her thumb up and down her jaw.

Stacie couldn't take it anymore and stopped. "Bree, you're breaking like half of your rules right now and I'm about to break the other half if you don't stop."

Aubrey quickly dropped her hands. "Sorry."

"Come on girls, faster!"

Beca groaned and caught up to Stacie. "I hate your girlfriend!"

Stacie whimpered softly as she went up the bleachers for the umpteenth time. "If I didn't love her already, I'd hate her too."

They stopped to catch their breath when they reached the top earning a yell from Aubrey. "Do something!" Beca's legs felt like jelly and she was sure she looked like a tomato.

"I can't! There are rules!" Beca quirked her eyebrow at her. "I'm not her girlfriend during rehearsal."

"Please, Stace, I'm dying." Beca whined. They made their way down the bleachers.

"Fine, I'll try." She jogged over to where Aubrey was.

"What are you doing? Get back in line." Aubrey said without looking at her.

"Babe," Stacie whispered mostly because she still hadn't caught her breath. "it's too much, we need to stop."

Aubrey looked at her and her expression softened for a second. "You only have five minutes left, you can do it."

"But if I keep running I'm going to be too tired for sex later."

Aubrey pursed her lips. "Alright, stop!" Stacie smirked. "Five minute break and then we start working on choreography."

Aubrey smiled at her and walked away. Stacie sat on the floor to rest. Beca came stumbling at her and dropped on her back next to her. "I love you. You're the best. I'd hug you but I don't think I can move."

Aubrey came back and handed her a towel and a glass of water. She dropped another towel on Beca's face. "Ow, thanks."

"Five, six, seven, eight!" Aubrey walked around the room looking at the girls. They were mostly flailing around but it was their first day, she hoped they'd get better. Beca was particularly bad, but she couldn't tell if it was on purpose. She smirked. "Chloe, can you help Beca? She seems to need more personal attention."

"Sure, Bree." Chloe stepped behind Beca and grabbed her arms.

Beca blushed. "I don't need this, I've got it."

Chloe moved her arms and pressed herself closer to Beca's back. "Well, Aubrey thinks you need my help so let me help you." She whispered in Beca's ear.

Beca whimpered and closed her eyes.

Aubrey was walking by Stacie who slapped her arm playfully. "That was mean."

"She was doing it wrong on purpose and you know it." She looked at her watch. It had been way more than two hours and she could tell they weren't going to get any better today. "Alright, I'm calling it."

All the girls sighed in relief and went over to pick out their schedules from Aubrey. Chloe was still standing behind Beca moving her arms. "Umm, Chlo, I think you can let go now."

"Oh, right. Sorry." She dropped her arms and moved back.

Beca started to walk away but saw Stacie on the other side of the room motioning at Chloe in a very obvious way. She sighed and turned. "Hey, Chloe, do you want to maybe go out later? For dinner or something?"

"Sure! Do you want to meet around here or…?"

"I can pick you up at your place. Is six okay?"

"It's perfect." She walked to get her things. "See you later!"

Beca waved with a dopey grin on her face. Stacie bumped her shoulder. "You going out tonight?"

Beca nodded. "Can I borrow your car?"

"Absolutely not." Stacie laughed. She walked up to Aubrey who was putting her sheet music in a binder and hugged her from behind. "Ready to go, babe? I could really use a shower right now."

Aubrey hummed. "That sounds like a great idea." She turned her head and kissed Stacie. After a while she pulled back panting. "It was really hard not to do that the whole time we were rehearsing."

"Next time we should do our own cardio while the rest of the girls run." Stacie smiled seductively.

Aubrey swatted the arm around her waist. "You're incorrigible."

"It's not my fault I have such a hot girlfriend." Stacie said, squeezing Aubrey and nibbling on her neck.

Beca cleared her throat loudly behind them. Stacie pulled Aubrey around so they could face Beca without letting go. "What up, Becs?"

Beca scratched the back of her head. "I was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me with, you know, getting ready for that thing I have later."

Stacie smiled. "Of course not, let's go!"

She kissed Aubrey's cheek loudly and let her go. Aubrey frowned and tugged on her shirt. "Wait, what about our shower?"

"I'll make it up to you later." Stacie kissed her, pulling her lower lip with her teeth. "I love you."

"What's wrong with this shirt?" Beca yelled. She'd changed her outfit five times already and she was starting to regret asking Stacie for her help.

"Nothing's wrong with it, I just don't think it's something you wear on a first date." Stacie said from her position on Beca's bed.

"Slutty girl's right." Kimmy Jin said from the other side of the room.

"See, even your boring ass roommate agrees." Kimmy Jin rolled her eyes and turned back to her laptop.

Beca groaned and went back into her closet, throwing the shirt out angrily. "I thought people were supposed to like me for me and all that shit."

"They are, but no one's gonna want to get to know you enough to like you if you wear that shirt." She turned the page on the book she was reading.

A few seconds later Beca came out wearing a plain black shirt and Stacie smiled. "That's better!"

Beca glared at her. "I think I wore this to a funeral."

Stacie laughed and got up. "It just needs a little fixing." Stacie opened the top two buttons. "We need to go buy you proper bras." She pushed Beca's boobs together.

"Dude, what the fuck!" Beca jumped away and swatted her hands.

"I'm just fixing up your goodies, chill." Stacie put her hands up and walked away. "They're nice, Becs, you should take them out more often."

Beca blushed and cross her arms across her chest. "Yeah, whatever."

"Now, do you think you could maybe tone down the eyeliner for today?"

"What? I don't wear that much eyeliner." Stacie quirked her eyebrow at her. "I don't know why I asked for your help!"

Stacie grinned. "Because you love me."

Chloe opened the door with a big smile that fell when she saw it was Stacie. "Sorry to disappoint, Chlo, shorty's right behind me." She leaned in and stage whispered. "Her short legs make her slower."

"I heard that!" Beca came around the corner. "I would've moved faster if your evil girlfriend hadn't made us run up the bleachers a million times."

Aubrey appeared behind Chloe. "Are you talking about me, Beca?"

"I hope so, babe, otherwise I'd have another evil girlfriend." Stacie skipped forward and kissed Aubrey. She pushed her away from the door. "Have fun! Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" She winked and pulled Aubrey down the hall.

"I'm pretty sure there's nothing on that list." Beca mumbled. Chloe smiled at her and Beca blushed. "Shall we?"

Chloe nodded and took Beca's hand. "Let's go."

Stacie had Aubrey pinned to the back of the couch. She heard the door close and broke the kiss. "They're gone." She took her shirt off and started kissing Aubrey again.

Aubrey chuckled and pushed her shoulders. "Stacie, wait."

"Why?" Stacie looked at her confused and started peppering kisses down her neck. Aubrey was really struggling to find a reason with a shirtless Stacie biting her neck. Her hands moved over Stacie's bare waist, her fingers brushing the bottom of her bra.

Stacie's fingers traveled down her side and along the waist of her skirt. She sneaked them under her shirt and started tracing circles on her abdomen, moving lower each time. "Stace." She moaned when Stacie sucked on her pulse point. She knew that was going to leave a mark but she didn't care. She moved her hands to Stacie's head, scratching her scalp. "Baby, I'm making dinner."

"I want dessert first." She pulled Aubrey closer and pushed her thigh between her legs.

"Oh god. Stacie, there's food in the oven, I need to go check on it." Aubrey was about to forget about it and let the whole kitchen burn down when Stacie stopped and took a step back

Aubrey went into the kitchen before she changed her mind. She looked in the oven, the chicken looked good but it still had some time to go. She open the fridge door to take out the vegetables for the salad, letting the cold air hit her face. She had never felt this need for anyone before. Stacie could turn her into a puddle with just one look and it both terrified and thrilled her. She took everything out and was starting to chop some carrots when she heard the door swing open. Stacie's arms snaked around her waist. "I needed a minute to collect myself, and my shirt." Aubrey chuckled. "Need any help?"

"Nope, the chicken's almost done. I'm just making a salad."

Stacie stole a cherry tomato and hopped on the counter on the other side of the kitchen. "Want me to set the table?"

"Already did it."

Stacie pouted. "You didn't leave anything for me to do?"

Aubrey smiled at her. "You can help me clean up after we're done."

Stacie smiled back. "Okay." She took out her phone and started swinging her legs. "Beca and Chloe went to that new Hibachi place on Park."

"Chloe's gonna love that." Stacie hummed. "Are you texting her right now? Tell her to put her phone away."

"Chloe went to the bathroom."

Aubrey's phone buzzed on the counter next to her and she wiped down her hands to read her text. She chuckled. "What?"

"Chloe says to not let you talk me into kitchen sex. And that if it's too late to sanitize everything." She put the phone down and finished throwing everything into the salad bowl.

Aubrey took the bowl to the table. She walked in front of Stacie on her way back who pulled her in and wrapped her legs around her. "I think Chloe has the right idea."

"Oh, you do?" Stacie nodded and leaned down to kiss her. Aubrey placed her hands on Stacie's thighs and moved them up under her skirt, her fingers moving tantalizingly close to her center. Stacie moaned against Aubrey's mouth at the same time as the oven timer went off making Aubrey pull away. "Dinner's ready."
