CHAPTER 2:
Waking the next morning, Beca sat up and looked around her. Something was different, though. It wasn't the same room she had fallen asleep in - what was going on? "What the-? Is this my dorm room?"
"It is. In a different time," Amy said.
"Amy? Is that you?" Beca asked.
"I'm your Christmas guardian angel, and I've granted you your wish," Amy smiled.
"What are you talking about? Where am I?" Beca asked.
"You wished you never joined the Bellas, so I'm here to show you what would be different," Amy said as she took Beca to the first stop on the journey.
They were at what auditions would've been if Beca hadn't shown up last minute.
"I can't believe she didn't show," Chloe said, bummed.
"Well, it's like I said before: She's just too alternative for us," Aubrey reminded her.
"Maybe to you, but not to me. And I know she said she 'didn't sing' when we met, but I heard her sing. She has an amazing voice," Chloe said.
Beca turned to Amy, "Okay, so she still heard me sing in the shower, but why didn't I show up at auditions?"
"You obviously had something more important on your mind than joining the Bellas," Amy said.
"Like what?" Beca asked.
"I'll show you," Amy said.
Amy led Beca over to a classroom in a different building on the campus. As they were walking, Beca had a thought: "Whatever this was, it had to have been something other than my job at the radio station or my desire to produce music in L.A.."
"Oh, it was," Amy asserted as she showed Beca a classroom filled with Spanish signs, traditional Mexican and Spanish clothing, and students speaking the language fluently.
"The Spanish Club?" Beca asked. "But that's impossible; I know my dad wanted me to join a club on campus, but I don't even speak Spanish. I'm not fluent in any foreign language."
"After your dad told you to join one club on campus, you spent a whole week studying Spanish before joining the Spanish Club," Amy pointed out.
"I would never..." Beca said, confused by what she was hearing.
"You want to move on?" Amy asked.
"Please! Maybe the next thing you'll show me will make a bit more sense," Beca said as Amy led her to the Bellas rehearsal room.
"Why are we at a Bellas rehearsal?" Beca asked.
"To show you how different things are without you as a Bella," Amy said.
Beca noticed all of the other Bellas feeling miserable due to Aubrey's poor setlist choice.
"So Aubrey's using the exact same set. That's what she does, right?" Beca asked.
"Yes. The difference here is, you're not around to remind people how old and outdated those songs are. As a result, none of the Bellas dared to step up and do the same - not even Chloe," Amy said.
"That's so sad," Beca said sympathetically. "So, are you implying that I'm the glue of the Bellas?"
"Bingo!" Amy said.
"I never thought of it that way," Beca said.
"Come on, there's one more thing we must see," Amy said as she led Beca out to the quad.
"Remember that guy Chloe was in the shower with when she heard you singing?" she asked.
"Yeah. I didn't catch what his name was, though," Beca said.
"I think his name was Tom. Anyway, since you didn't become a Bella, Chloe's friendship with Tom only grew stronger. Observe," Amy said as Beca noticed Chloe and Tom kissing.
"I knew there had to have been something going on with those two," Beca said.
"Yeah. Since you didn't become a Bella, you and Chloe never became best friends. As a result, Chloe and Tom's relationship grew to become more than a random hook-up," Amy said.
"Okay, I get it; without the Bellas, I apparently learned Spanish and never became best friends with Chloe," Beca recapped.
"Have you seen enough?" Amy asked.
"Yes! I want to go back to the real world where everything is how it should be," Beca pleaded.
"Come on. I'll walk you back to your dorm," Amy said as she led the way.
When they arrived at the dorm room, Beca fell back to sleep in her bed before waking up in her dorm room in the real world.
