I combined a few prompts for this, hope no one minds too much. It just seemed to work better this way, rather than separate. Also, this is not the first time I've written more mature works but it is the first time in awhile, and the first time with more than two people. So if i made any logistical mistakes, please let me know so I can correct them!

Aubrey doesn't like not knowing the plan. Trusting on blind faith isn't really her thing, even when it comes to her soulmates. Which is why when Chloe refuses to discuss what she's planning for their weekend away, Aubrey finds herself far more nervous than she really should be. I mean, this is Chloe, they've known each other for five years, been dating for four of those years. There isn't a person in the world who knows her better than Chloe does, though Beca is quickly catching up the longer they're all together.

So really, Aubrey knows Chloe won't plan anything that she'll be uncomfortable with being a part of. Aubrey can do the over the top romantic outings without complaint, even if she's usually more practical in her own planning and ideas. She loves how into the romance Chloe gets, so their weekend away should be a lot of fun.

Then Chloe asks if she can take off more than the Friday before the planned weekend, either before the already planned three days or after, and Aubrey starts to get worried. A three day weekend is fairly standard, but Chloe is asking for as much time as Aubrey can take, and refusing to give any hints as to why she wants the extra time.

When Aubrey finally caves and takes the entire week off, Chloe's kiss in thanks is almost enough to make her forget the worries, but she can't quite manage to lose them completely. Especially when her soulmate immediately goes to her laptop and starts humming as she focuses intently on whatever it is she's planning.

She can tell that Beca is apprehensive as well, but at the same time Chloe's enthusiasm is contagious, so they end up mostly just going with it. It helps that Aubrey has so much work to do before whatever Chloe is planning, trying to be well ahead so that there's no reason for her bosses to be upset that she's taken so much time off. And Beca of course has finals, which Aubrey is insistent she'll pass with decent grades.

So all in all, they have enough to keep them focused while Chloe finishes her plans, only the occasional spike of anxiety resurfacing when the redhead makes a request from them. Beca is handed a list of songs to make mixes from, though Chloe reluctantly adds an "if you get time" when Aubrey glares a little and reminds her girlfriends about finals. It's not that she doesn't enjoy Beca's music, especially now that they're no longer part of any arguments between them, but grades are more important in the blonde's mind.

Aubrey starts to worry more when Chloe tells them to pack sturdy shoes, the request almost random after the last instruction to pack a few nice outfits, both for restaurants and clubs. She can't figure out what the redhead could be planning that would require both, but Chloe is still refusing to give even small hints.

The day of whatever it is Chloe has planned finally arrives, and Aubrey is surprised at how early her girlfriend gets them out of bed. Usually Chloe and Beca both need coaxed out of bed on a Saturday, though through the rest of the week Chloe is up as soon as Aubrey is.

Today though, Chloe is the first one up, rolling onto Beca to shut off the alarm, grinning down at her soulmate when Beca groans and hides her face under a pillow. "Becs, time to get up!" Chloe says with what would be an unnatural level of cheerfulness for anyone but the redhead this early in the morning.

And though it's early for Aubrey as well, the blonde has to admit that the sight of one of her girlfriends straddling the other is definitely worth being awake at this hour. But when she reaches out to run her hand along Chloe's thigh, her girlfriend just giggles and swats her hand away.

"Not this morning, Bree" she says, smirking a little as she takes in the look on the blonde's face. "We need to get started, and I want to make sure you guys packed everything you'll need." Aubrey would be offended at the insinuation, but she knows that without specifics, she could easily have missed something she'll end up needing. And Beca has a habit of forgetting half of what she needs, even as she insists she remembers packing it.

Sure enough, Beca had forgotten half of two different outfits, her idea of sturdy shoes were deemed ridiculous by Chloe, earning a smirk from Aubrey and an eye roll from Beca. It ends up taking them another hour to get the packing finished to Chloe's satisfaction, and Aubrey excuses herself halfway through to make pancakes for the three of them.

Beca and Aubrey both pester Chloe for hints or details all through breakfast, but the redhead isn't budging from her stubborn silence, just smirking at them as they start asking ridiculous questions designed to get some kind of response from their girlfriend.

Aubrey and Beca don't catch on to the plan until Chloe pulls off of the main highways and onto county roads, consulting hand printed directions rather than turning on the GPS for guidance. "Are you taking us on a road trip?" Beca asks incredulously from where she's stretched out in the backseat, transferring mixes to Chloe's iPod since she hadn't had a chance before they left, looking out the window at the trees around them.

"Yep!" Chloe chirps from the driver's seat, smiling at both her soulmates as she reads the next set of directions on her sheet. "I've got five different stops planned for us, and since Bree was able to get the whole week off, we don't even have to hurry through them! Don't worry, you two are going to love every bit of it."

Aubrey tries not to doubt her soulmate, but after being told to bring sturdy shoes, and with still not knowing anything about what Chloe has planned, she's still nervous. Still, once Beca finishes transferring music over and they get it set up, Aubrey tries to relax and just enjoy the company of her girlfriends.

The hours of driving pass quickly, conversation flowing freely between the three of them as the miles pass. Despite their initial hesitation, Beca and Aubrey do enjoy the scenery around them as they travel farther away from Barden, Chloe's route taking them through smaller towns and stretches of beautiful scenery.

It's not the first time they've been alone with each other for so long, but it is the first time in a while, and without any pressures from school or work looming over them, Aubrey starts to think that maybe they needed this. They're all in tune with each other after being together so long, but taking the time to just enjoy each other's presence is always a good idea. Especially when it's more scarce than it should be, as three women try to balance their own lives with their soulmates, a task that isn't always easy given the very different demands on their time.

"We should do something like this every weekend" Aubrey says as she considers all of that. "Not necessarily a road trip, but a few hours with just the three of us." She can see Chloe grin next to her, and twists in her seat to see Beca's reaction to the idea.

"Well, I suppose since I've decided to spend the rest of my life with you two, I can set aside a few hours every weekend" Beca says when she sees Aubrey looking, scrunching back into the seat as Chloe reaches back with one hand to smack at her. "Hey, watch the road Chlo; we don't need a wreck on this road trip!"

"Can you take anything seriously?" Aubrey asks, turning in her seat to look at Beca so the brunette can see the eye roll accompanying the question. It's just over the top enough to let Beca knows she's teasing, and Aubrey has to fight to keep the act up when Beca smirks back at her.

"Not usually, no" comes the expected response. "But I'm pretty sure that's what you're here for, right Chloe? Aubrey's the one who's supposed to keep us in line and all that?"

"If that's how you feel, maybe I take it all back" Aubrey jokes, this time the one to earn a light smack from Chloe.

"Okay, I know you two get off on the teasing, but no joking about taking back the relationship while we're on our anniversary trip, got it? I went to a lot of trouble to plan this, so you two can find another topic to joke about." Chloe says firmly, pointing at both of them in turn, though thankfully not taking her eyes off the road as she does.

"Our girlfriend is bossy" Beca stage whispers from the backseat, earning a laugh from Aubrey and a grin from Chloe as she shakes her head. "Okay Chloe, I'll behave if Aubrey will."

"I'm not the one we usually have to worry about, now am I Beca?" Aubrey tosses back, turning back to sit properly in her seat as if to underscore her statement, knowing Beca would keep sitting stretched out across the backseat.

"Depends entirely on what we're talking about" Beca says, suggestive tone heavy in her voice as Chloe laughs.

"Oh my god you two, seriously. We've still got an hour to go, so enjoy the view and quit bickering for a little bit so we can all enjoy this. I've got reservations at a nice hotel, so just dial down the foreplay until tonight, okay?" Aubrey can tell Chloe doesn't really mind, but it is only the first day of the trip, and she's sure their lighthearted bickering could get tiresome fairly quickly if they don't take it easy.

"Sorry Chloe" she apologizes, smiling as her apology is echoed from the backseat. "So what plans do you have for the Bellas next year?" she asks Beca in an effort to change the topic, genuinely interested in the answer. Even a year after graduating and leaving the Bellas behind, she's still invested in their success, and not just because her younger soulmate is captain.

They end up talking about the Bellas for the rest of the drive, possible set lists and the pros and cons of adding new members to their established group enough to keep all three of them occupied, though Chloe is careful to keep an eye on the directions as she joins in, still refusing to use the GPS so that she can surprise her soulmates.

And surprise them she does, not only taking a scenic route through beautiful scenery, but circling around their destination so they can't even guess from road signs. When they finally pull up to their destination, Aubrey knows that Chloe picked this stop for her. She's always loved the outdoors, and has wanted to visit Toccoa Falls since she moved to Atlanta and heard about them from a classmate.

"I love you" she whispers to her girlfriend as Beca lightheartedly whines about hiking in the background. Aubrey knows Beca is only whining because it's expected of her, because the brunette is already lacing up the shoes Chloe had made her pack, tossing her flimsier footwear into the backseat behind her as her soulmates roll their eyes.

The three of them head through the gift shop entrance, Chloe paying for the tickets before the other two can protest, silencing both with a kiss. "You guys can get me something from here on the way back if you want, but this is my trip, so I've got it" she says softly but firmly.

When they head out onto the trails, any protest Aubrey would have still had disappears as she takes in the beauty around them. They stick to the main path on the way to the falls, though Aubrey is already planning on convincing the two to explore a few of the side paths on the way back. She's sure it won't be much work, both of her soulmates seem to be enjoying her reactions as much as they're enjoying the scenery around them.

When they reach the falls, Aubrey stops and grabs hold of both her soulmate's hands, holding tightly as she takes in the sight in front of her. The falls aren't as grand as some others, but there's a beauty in their relative simplicity as well. She feels each of her girlfriends step closer to her sides as she continues to take in the sight in front of them.

"It's beautiful" she whispers, not sure they'll hear her over the sounds of the falls and the other people around them.

"If you're expecting me to fill in some corny, clichéd line about how I agree while staring at you, it's not going to work" Beca says next to her, and Aubrey knows that it's her girlfriend's way of saying exactly that while clinging to her stubborn refusal to give in to what she deems cheesy romance plotlines.

"Well, I'll say it for you then" Chloe says with a laugh, leaning her head on Aubrey's shoulder as she takes in the falls in front of them. "They are amazing, but they've got nothing on you. Either of you." Aubrey smiles as she wraps an arm around Chloe's shoulders, reaching out with her other hand to pull Beca into her other side, wanting to be close to both of her soulmates as she takes in the beauty of their surroundings.

They stand looking at the falls for a long time, each lost in their own thoughts as they stare at the beautiful sight in front of them. When Aubrey finally realizes that her soulmates must be bored, or at least tired of standing in one place for so long, she shifts her focus back to them, realizing that they've stopped looking at the falls and are each staring at the other as they stand at her sides. "Sorry" she says, feeling vaguely guilty for making them wait on her.

"For what?" Chloe says with a soft smile.

"For making you guys stand here so long" Aubrey explains with a sheepish smile and shrug.

"Yeah, because obviously we both hated standing next to a beautiful waterfall as part of a beautiful group of soulmates while one of us got so lost in her surroundings that she tuned out the world for once" Beca jokes, leaning up to kiss Aubrey's cheek so the blonde knows she's not being serious.

"Bree, it's gorgeous here, and we'll both gladly stand here as long as you want" Chloe adds, tucking herself closer into Aubrey's side. "Besides, today is your day, and then tomorrow is Beca's."

"Wait, why does she get her day first?" Beca exclaims, raising her head from Aubrey's shoulder in surprise. "If this is about ruining your apron, I already said I was sorry!"

Chloe and Aubrey both laugh at the look on Beca's face, and Chloe hurries to explain. "No Becs, it's not because of that. You already made that up to me, no worries." She winks at her soulmate to underscore the point, and Aubrey laughs again as Beca blushes, mind obviously back on the night Chloe had finally decided her arm was healed enough. "It's just the route that made most sense, and obviously it's not like either of you is going to hate any of what I have planned. I just know you'll each enjoy different things in different ways."

Aubrey has to admit, her soulmate does understand them well, Beca obviously does enjoy being here, but not the same way she does. As much as Aubrey loves order and modern amenities, there's always been something about the randomness of nature that appeals to her. She's as much at home in the middle of the woods as she is in the middle of a city, though she knows that in the long term she needs those modern amenities in her life. She also knows that Beca can admit that there's an appeal to the woods and nature, but there's no way her younger soulmate would be happy being away from the city for any real length of time.

"Still, let's explore some of the walking trails instead of just standing here" Aubrey suggests, not even trying to hide her smile when her soulmates nod. She's not surprised when they let her take the lead, carefully choosing a trail that looks well-traveled, but not too much so. She wants something easy to walk, but not one that's full of other people the entire way. And apparently she's either picked well or it's not a busy day, because once they're out of sight of the main clearing, there isn't another person in sight.

It's a fairly straightforward path, no overly difficult stretches or forks to confuse them, and soon all three of them are pointing out various things in the woods around them. Even Beca is clearly enjoying herself, even though she jokes every time the trail gets a little rough that it's lucky she loves them both, or that she'd rather be mixing. She's careful not to push the teasing though, obviously remembering what Chloe had said in the car.

Now that she's not lost in the scenery to the point of forgetting the rest of her surroundings, Aubrey is careful to keep an eye on the time, not wanting darkness to creep up on them while they're exploring unfamiliar woods. Even with a simple trail to follow back, she doesn't want to risk any of them falling on uneven ground just because they forgot to check their watches.

When it hits 5:30 she calls a stop to the exploring, almost reluctant to head back. She'd loved the uninterrupted time with her soulmates in the car, but this is even better, no need for Chloe to focus on the road, and no separation with Beca stuck in the backseat away from them. They'd been able to talk freely, with plenty of eye and physical contact as they walk.

When they stop at the gift shop to exit, Aubrey and Beca both pick out souvenirs for Chloe, a matching set of earrings and necklace made from waterfall smoothed stones, even as Chloe tries to protest. "Nope, you said we could get you something" Beca says when she argues, pushing the earrings closer to the register and handing Aubrey the money to cover them before turning back to Chloe.

"That didn't mean you two were supposed to buy me those!" Chloe tries. "You were supposed to get me a pen or something!"

"Chloe, there was no way we were going to get you just a pen after you planned an entire trip for us, you know that" Aubrey says as she takes the bag from the cashier with a smile of thanks. "Now come on, you know Beca gets grumpy if we don't feed her on time."

"I do not!" Beca tries to argue, earning an eye roll from both of her soulmates.

"Beca, you threatened to call the pizza place to file a formal complaint when the pizza was five minutes later than they said it would be" Aubrey points out, getting a giggle from Chloe at the memory.

"That was different" Beca denies. "They gave us a window, and then couldn't stick to it. If they knew it was going to take longer, they should have said. You're the one who's always lecturing on the importance of timeliness Aubrey; you should be on my side here!"

"Beca, I'm always on your side. But the driver was stopped by a train, it wasn't their fault" Aubrey reminds the younger woman, trying not to laugh as they get back into the car. They keep debating the issue the entire way to the restaurant, Chloe obviously trying not to laugh as Aubrey proves her point, Beca getting caught up in the bickering as she gets hungrier.

"Okay you two, we're here" the redhead finally says, pulling into the parking lot. It's a nice place, but not so nice that they'll feel out of place in the clothes they'd worn to hike the trails, and Aubrey's impressed at how well Chloe has thought everything through.

Dinner passes quickly, Beca quickly calming when the waiter brings out a basket of rolls, Chloe and Aubrey biting their lips to keep from laughing out loud as the brunette practically inhales the first roll. Conversation flows freely, taking the time to get fully caught up on each other's lives now that they have time away from the demands of work and school.

When they finally get to the hotel after spending hours talking in the restaurant, Aubrey is surprised to see the room, not expecting Chloe have to reserved such a nice room, even for their anniversary. After all, she's planned a full week, so Aubrey had been expecting nice but relatively affordable, not something that looks like it could be on a top ten list of hotels in the entire state.

Chloe just shrugs as they exclaim over the room, looking pleased with herself as they all set their bags down, shedding light jackets and shoes next to them. "I wanted this trip to be special" she explains when Aubrey asks about the room, earning smiles from both her soulmates in return.

"At the risk of sounding cheesy, and I'll deny it if you two ever bring it up again, any trip with you two would be special" Beca says, for once without an eye roll or other deflection from the sincerity in her tone.

"I think you're finally getting to her" Aubrey stage whispers, stepping up behind Chloe and pulling the redhead close, loving the feel of her soulmate being pulled firmly against her. She can see Beca roll her eyes, but the effect is ruined as the younger woman can't manage to look away from the two of them as Aubrey begins kissing slowly down Chloe's throat.

"Funny, I think you're getting to me" Chloe says breathlessly, reaching her hands up to run through Aubrey's hair as she tilts her head to give her soulmate more access. Aubrey laughs softly against her skin, feeling the redhead shiver at the sensation.

"Well you did plan this trip for us; I think it's only fair we return the favor. Don't you think so, Beca?" Aubrey says softly into Chloe's ear, her words shaking Beca out of the daze she'd fallen into watching the two of them.

"Oh, absolutely" Beca agrees as she crosses the distance between them, leaning up to capture Chloe's lips for a soft kiss as Aubrey begins running her hands along Chloe's sides. "Have to return the favor" she says between kisses, hands covering Aubrey's for a second before reaching for the hem of Chloe's shirt and pulling it up and off of the redhead.

Aubrey immediately takes advantage of the shirt's absence, raising her hands slowly along Chloe's stomach before cupping the redhead's breasts in gentle hands. She feels Beca's hands cover her own again, squeezing gently as she captures Chloe's lips again, the passion in the kiss a sharp contrast to the gentleness of her hands.

At the sight of her soulmates kissing Aubrey lets out a soft moan, hands tightening instinctively as she feels Chloe's hips press forward into Beca's, her own following, pressing Chloe tightly between the two of them. Beca's hands fall to Chloe's hips as the kiss deepens, Aubrey's hands pressed between her soulmates' chests as they pull each other closer.

Chloe is clearly lost in the sensations of their lips and Aubrey's hands as the blonde continues teasing her breasts, alternating between ghosting her hands over Chloe's nipples and squeezing roughly, never committing to a pattern the redhead can get used to. She knows it drives Chloe crazy, and loves how it makes her react.

As Chloe pulls back from kissing Beca, head falling back onto Aubrey's shoulder as the blonde switches to firm movements, almost roughly pinching Chloe's nipples through her bra as she continues the contrasting light kisses along her neck, Beca leans down to kiss along Chloe's collarbone. The brunette slowly moves her hands to the button of Chloe's jeans, popping the button and slowly lowering the zipper.

Aubrey isn't sure Chloe notices, not even as Beca starts slowly pushing the redhead's jeans slowly down long legs. She doesn't seem to notice until Beca starts to kiss down her torso, sinking to her knees as she continues ridding Chloe of her jeans, pressing light kisses just above her panties before looking up to meet the two pairs of eyes now focused on her movements with a smirk.

"Feeling thanked yet?" Beca whispers against soft skin, and Aubrey can feel Chloe shiver at the sensation. She can also tell Chloe is rapidly losing the ability to speak to answer their soulmate as her hands don't stop their movements against her chest.

"I think we should keep showing her our appreciation" Aubrey says as Chloe nods quickly, head again falling to Aubrey's shoulder when Beca licks slowly along the inside of her thigh before placing a light kiss between her legs, hands raising to slowly peel the redheads underwear down her legs. As Beca strips the material down Chloe's legs, Aubrey moves one hand from her ministrations on her chest to unclasp her bra, both pieces of clothing falling to the ground simultaneously.

"No fair" Chloe manages to gasp out as hands cover newly freed flesh, Beca kissing lightly along her stomach as her fingers run lightly through Chloe's folds. "You're both overdressed." And as much as Aubrey wants to continue this, see Chloe fall apart between them, her clothes are feeling increasingly restricting, and she wants to see Beca's skin as well.

"Well, we can't have that" Beca says, slowly standing as she runs her hands along Chloe's stomach, pressing a light kiss to the redhead's throat before stepping back, smirking as Chloe instinctively tries to follow despite what she'd just said. Aubrey just holds their soulmate back with a smirk, both watching as Beca sheds her clothing, not even trying to be sexy about it as she does, obviously just wanting to be free to get back to what she'd been doing before.

When Beca's finally out of her clothes, Aubrey gently pushes Chloe forward and into her arms, watching as they kiss before shedding her own clothes and stepping forward to join them, loving the feeling of their skin against hers. Still, after everything Chloe has done for them, and still has planned for the week, tonight is definitely about making sure she knows how thankful they are. And as she meets Beca's eyes, she can tell they're thinking the same thing, hands rising together to turn Chloe and move her to the bed, redhead willingly trusting them as they lay her down, settling on either side as they lean down to kiss her, Beca kissing along her chest as Aubrey captures her lips, feeling Chloe moan into the kiss as her back arches into Beca's mouth.

Aubrey captures one of Beca's hands in her own, trailing them slowly down Chloe's stomach before settling them between Chloe's legs, feeling the warmth coming from their soulmate as they approach, letting her own moan loose into the kiss when she finally feels how wet her girlfriend is for them.

"Oh god" Chloe moans out as they both explore her body, Aubrey moving her lips to Chloe's throat as Beca continues to trail her lips across the redhead's chest, hands separating between her legs to give them each more ability to coax new sensations from their soulmate. Aubrey can feel when Beca slips inside, would know even without feeling when Chloe's hips buck sharply, the redhead's hands flying to tangle in their hair, holding their heads to her.

Aubrey can feel Beca start a slow rhythm, and matches it with gentle circles around Chloe's clit, refusing to move faster even as Chloe moves her hips desperately, seeking more friction where she needs it. "Just trust us" she whispers into Chloe's ear, pressing a kiss to the sensitive hollow behind it as her soulmate groans in frustration.

"You know I trust you, but I need you both to quit teasing and fuck me already" Chloe groans in response, curse falling from her lips and proving how far gone she really is. Even in the bedroom cursing has always been more Beca's thing, Chloe never shy about asking for what she wants but preferring to avoid cursing as much as possible.

It only makes Aubrey more determined to draw this out, wanting to pull every bit of pleasure out of her soulmate as she can. And when Beca's pace stays the same, she knows they agree. "We'll get you there" Beca whispers, leaning up to kiss Chloe softly, hand still moving with frustrating slowness between her legs. And they do, Beca and Aubrey alternating seamlessly between techniques to build on what the other is doing, occasionally switching places to throw Chloe off.

They can tell that Chloe is lost in the sensations they're creating in her body, her head thrown back with eyes firmly shut as they move, back arching and hips pushing up to meet each thrust, Aubrey curling her fingers deliberately as Beca avoids direct contact with her clit, knowing Chloe needs both to reach her peak, and not wanting her to hit it too soon.

As they continue to draw pleasure out of their soulmate, Aubrey leans forward to kiss Beca, needing a connection with both of them. She can tell Chloe knows they're kissing, the redhead's hips rolling frantically as she moans, hands clutching the sheets as she wavers on the edge. "Please, please let me come" she all but whimpers, and Aubrey can't bring herself to deny the request, speeding up her thrusts as she feels Beca finally connect with their soulmate's bundle of nerves, rubbing furiously as they tip Chloe over the edge into the orgasm she's been desperately craving.

Neither of them stops their motions as Chloe comes down, only gentling them to guide her through, making sure she gets every bit of pleasure out of the orgasm they can possibly bring her. It's a long minute before Chloe relaxes, and Aubrey slowly pulls her fingers out, watching Chloe shiver at the loss.

"Love you" Aubrey whispers to Chloe as she cuddles into her side, knowing the redhead has to be exhausted after that. She hears Beca echo the sentiment as she does the same, and wonders if it's as obvious in her own voice as it is in Beca's that she needs some kind of release after watching Chloe fall apart.

"Love you too" Chloe finally says, wrapping her arms around her soulmates with clear exhaustion in her movements. "Give me a minute, and I'll return the favor."

"You just rest" Beca says, kissing her before she can protest. "I think Bree and I can handle it" she adds with a smirk, and Aubrey responds by carefully disentangling herself from Chloe's side and climbing over the redhead to straddle Beca, stopping to kiss her as she does.

"Yeah Chloe, we've got this" she says, looking down at her younger soulmate with a smirk.

So the prompts are fairly obviously: Chloe's romantic anniversary weekend, them on a road trip, and smut. This is definitely going to be multi chapter, one chapter for each stop if I can manage it, though I'm new to the South and have only driven through a few of the states they'll visit, never actually stopped to see them, so any inaccuracies I'm going to go ahead and blame on the fact that it's an alternate universe.

Also, Graying Out is not being abandoned! I've got the third chapter started, and fully intend to work on it as well as the coming chapters of this story.
