Chloe sat and waited in her car on the side of Interstate 5. She was on her way to Seattle for a concert the next night, until her car broke down. Triple A said a tow truck was on its way, so she just had to wait. She was singing along with one of DJ 22's latest mixes when she saw a flatbed truck pull off the road in front of her. She took notice when a short brunette woman about her age climbed out of the drive's side and started walking towards her, followed by a brunette man also roughly her age.
"Hi, I'm Beca from M&S Garage in Centralia, Triple A sent us out. You're Chloe right?" Beca asked, glancing at the info on her phone.
"Yeah, I'm Beca." Chloe said as she got a good look at the woman. "Sorry, I mean I'm Chloe, you're Beca obviously know that. Just a little anxious that's all."
"Don't worry, Beca gets tongue tied around pretty women too." The man chuckled, earning him a smack to the shoulder from Beca. "You can't deny it's true."
"She doesn't need to know that." Beca shot back. "Regardless, we've got a job to do."
"Way to reinforce the angry lesbian stereotype." Jesse joked. Beca rolled her eyes, saying nothing as they got to work checking out Chloe's car.
"Yeah, we'll have to take this down to the garage, it'll probably be done tomorrow afternoon some time." Beca told Chloe.
"Is there any way I can get a rental car someplace or something?" Chloe asked "I'm going to the DJ 22 concert tomorrow night, and I'm supposed to be meeting up with friends of mine in Seattle tonight."
"I think we can swing that." Jesse smiled at Beca watching her eyes go wide.
"Yeah, I can take you up." Beca nodded nervously. "I'm going to be at that show too."
"You know DJ 22 too?" Chloe asked excitedly "Aren't they the coolest? I just love the air of mystery. Oh, we're going to be fast friends I just know it!"
"They certainly are mysterious all right." Jesse chuckled with a wink to Beca.
"Wait, what's that all about?" Chloe asked, looking back and forth between Beca and Jesse as they got to work loading her car onto the back of the truck. "Do you two know something about DJ 22?"
"Beca has known about DJ 22 longer than anyone." Jesse said. "Literally."
"We should be glad my friend Aubrey didn't hear you say that." Chloe laughed. "She hates when people mix up literally and figuratively."
"I didn't though." Jesse said with a smirk.
"Please stop." Beca said exasperatedly as they worked.
"Come on Beca, she's having a bad day, let her have this." Jesse said.
"Seriously, what's going on?" Chloe asked "Wait, are you DJ 22?"
"Yes, I am." Beca said, looking over at Chloe "I just want it to be about the music."
"I actually get that. The music is fantastic, who is the singer?" Chloe nodded. Beca smiled. "Oh, it's you isn't it? You have an amazing voice."
"Thank you." Beca nodded. "Do you and friends have VIP access?"
"No, we weren't able to swing that." Chloe said dejectedly.
"Let me know their names, I'll get them on the list." Beca said.
"That's so nice of you!" Chloe said, pulling Beca into a hug and kissing her cheek. "Sorry, I'm a hugger, was that too far."
"It's ok." Beca said, causing Jesse to gasp. "Don't mind him, he keeps saying he's my 'lesbro'. I tell him to stop but he doesn't listen. Anyway, are you from Seattle? Guessing know based on the Oregon plates."
"No, but I'm moving up there soon." Chloe said.
"Me too." Beca added. "Maybe we can go out some time?"
"Absolutely!" Chloe answered excitedly.
