Beca winced as her hair was pulled into a tight bun. "Remind me again why I'm doing this."

Stacie rolled her eyes. "Because you love Chloe and this will make her happy."

They were sitting side by side in Stacie's mom's studio getting their hair and makeup done. Beca was wearing a dark blue halter top dress with a low back. Stacie was wearing a black strapless dress, there was a slit on the side going up to mid thigh.

"Prom is stupid." Beca crossed her arms frowning.

"It's gonna be fun, stop being a party pooper. And Chloe's dress is super hot."

"I wouldn't know, she hasn't let me see it. You'd think it's her wedding dress."

Stacie laughed. "Yeah, Bree hasn't let me seen hers either."

Stacie's mom walked into the room and smiled. "You girls look amazing. The photographer is ready."

"Thanks, mom."

As soon as Stacie's mom left Beca groaned. "Do we really need a professional photographer to take our prom pictures?"

"Please, like I'm gonna let some random person capture all of this." Stacie motioned at herself. "Besides, it's my last professional shoot."

"You're quitting?" Beca raised her eyebrows. She knew Stacie didn't like it but she didn't think she'd quit.

Stacie shrugged. "Yeah, I won't have time to do it when I'm in Princeton. I told my mom today."

Stacie's phone rang and she turned to pick it up, smiling when she saw it was Aubrey. "Hi, baby…. Yes, we're almost done… Yes, I have it with me…. No, Beca's ready too, we won't be late…" Beca rolled her eyes. "Okay… I love you… Bye."

Stacie sighed as she hung up the phone. "She's a little stressed."

Beca snorted. "Yeah, that happens when you're not around. When you went to Milan for fashion week, she almost killed everyone on the debate team."

Stacie chuckled. "I know, they made me promise to take her with me whenever I went somewhere."

"What's gonna happen when she's in Yale and you're in Princeton?"

Stacie shrugged. She never talked about what Aubrey and her had planned for when they went to college. When Aubrey got her acceptance letter for Yale, Stacie had already decided to go to Princeton. In theory they'd be close enough to see each other on the weekends and skype during the week, but in practice Stacie wasn't so sure it would work. Telling Beca would only make her worry more and then she wouldn't be able to hide it from Aubrey. "We'll make it work."

"Yeah, that's the same thing you say every time I ask you and I believe it less each time."

"I don't want to talk about it right now. Let's just go pick up our girlfriends, go to prom and have fun." Stacie got up from her chair and walked out of the room to find the photographer. "We're ready for a couple of pictures here before we go."

Stacie walked the photographer back to where Beca was. "Do we have to take pictures?"

"Yes, now stand there and smile." Stacie grabbed Beca's shoulders and moved her in front of a white backdrop. She stood back.

"Wait, you're not going to be in the picture with me? This is stupid." Beca crossed her arms and frowned.

"He's gonna do a couple with just you and then some of both of us. Now smile." Stacie smiled and pointed at her face. Beca sighed and dropped her arms, smiling.

After what seemed like hours to Beca, they finished taking pictures and left to pick up Aubrey and Chloe. The limo stopped in front of Aubrey's building. Stacie took a deep breath and looked out the window. "Everything okay there, Stace?"

"Yeah, let's go." Stacie opened the door and walked to the elevator with Beca.

Aubrey's dad was standing in front of the elevator doors when they opened. "Umm hi, Mr. Posen, I'm gonna go find Chloe." Beca sidestepped him and scurried away.

"Stacie, may I have a word with you?"

"Of course." Stacie followed him to his office cautiously. She had never been in this room, most of the time when she was here they were either in Aubrey's room or in the dining room.

Aubrey had told her parents about them ever since they started dating. If Aubrey's dad hadn't been thrilled by the idea of her daughter being with another girl, he hadn't said anything. He always treated Stacie with respect but he was never as nice as the first time they'd met. Stacie didn't like him, she hated the way he treated Aubrey. But she knew how important it was for Aubrey that her dad approved of her so she tried.

"I wanted to give you something." Stacie tilted her head confused. "I know I have a weird way of showing it but I love Aubrey and I want the best for her. It has taken me some time to accept it but I know you love her too."

He took out a box from inside a drawer of his desk and handed it to Stacie. Stacie opened the box. Inside was a black fountain pen with her initials engraved on the side. "I'm sure I'll still see you before you go away for college but I figured tonight was a good time."

Stacie swallowed the knot in her throat and looked up at him. "Thank you, sir."

"Now, Aubrey is probably anxiously waiting for you out there so you better go." Stacie smiled and nodded before walking out of the room.

She put the box in her purse and walked out to the hall to find that the photographer was already there and was taking pictures of Chloe and Beca. She heard someone coming down the stairs and turned around, gasping when she saw Aubrey in a floor length burgundy dress. A single strap went over her right shoulder and across her back. Her hair was up in an elaborate braided bun. Stacie smiled when she saw she wasn't wearing a necklace and walked to the bottom of the stairs. "You look amazing."

Aubrey smiled back at her. "You don't look so bad yourself."

Aubrey stopped on the last step. She wrapped her arms around Stacie's neck and pecked her lips. Stacie pushed up on the tip of her toes to deepen the kiss but Aubrey moved back. "You can kiss me after the pictures."

Stacie pouted and Aubrey gave her another quick kiss. "If we hurry up you can kiss me sooner."

She stepped around Stacie and started to walk towards Beca and Chloe but Stacie grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the kitchen. "I have something for you."

Stacie took out a small box from her purse and handed it to Aubrey. Aubrey looked nervously at Stacie and then opened it. Inside was a gold chain holding a gold lemniscate. Aubrey traced it with her index finger. "It's beautiful."

Stacie took it out of the box and put it around Aubrey's neck. "It's so you remember that, no matter where you are and whatever happens, I will always love you."

Aubrey turned around and punched Stacie's shoulder. "What the fuck was that for?"

"You can't make me cry before the pictures!" Aubrey turned around to find a napkin.

Stacie stood rubbing her shoulder with a frown. Aubrey returned and kissed her cheek. "I'm sorry, Stace. I love it." She took Stacie's hand and winked when she looked up. "Let's go take those pictures so I can show you just how much I love it."

When they were done with the pictures, they went down to the limo. Stacie let go of Aubrey's hand for the first time since they walked out of the kitchen and reached around her waist, pulling her close. Aubrey's hand moved to Stacie's knee and started absentmindedly rubbing circles on it while she talked to Chloe and Beca. Stacie rested her chin on Aubrey's shoulder and waited for a lull in the conversation. "I want my kiss now."

Aubrey turned and smiled, leaning in to kiss her. Stacie scooted closer and bit her bottom lip softly, tilting her head to deepen the kiss once Aubrey opened her mouth. Aubrey moaned, her hand travelling up Stacie's leg.

"Okay, this whole we can't keep our hands off each other thing was cute for the first month or so but it's been nine months." Beca rolled her eyes.

Stacie waved her arm trying to reach her and hit her while she continued to kiss Aubrey. Chloe giggled and swatted Beca's leg. "Let them be, they're young and in love."

"Yes, we're young and in love." Stacie said moving to kiss Aubrey's neck.

"We're young and in love too, you don't see me trying to take out Chloe's tonsils with my tongue in front of you."

Chloe raised her eyebrows and grinned at her. "Maybe you should."

Beca smiled and started to lean in but Stacie poked her. "Hey, you can't interrupt us just to turn around and start making out!"

Beca glared at her. "Your lips are still on Aubrey!"

Stacie huffed and sat back. She looked at Aubrey's neck and smiled. "Babe, do you have a tissue? Your neck is covered in lipstick."

Beca snorted. "Yeah, and you both look like clowns."

Aubrey took out a mirror and some tissues and fixed her lipstick while Stacie wiped her neck. "See, this is why I made you wait until after the pictures."

"You look really hot with your lipstick smudged." Stacie smirked.

Aubrey smiled and placed her index finger on her lips. "Don't, I just fixed it." Stacie bit her finger.

The car stopped and Beca jumped over them. "Finally, we're here."

"Nice ass, Becs." Stacie slapped her butt as she was getting out.

Beca yelped. "Dude, my girlfriend is right there! Your girlfriend is right there!"

"It was just a friendly tap, relax." Stacie got out of the limo and threw an arm around Beca's shoulder. "We are having fun tonight. Are you ready to have fun, Becs?" Beca rolled her eyes and nodded. "That's my girl."

She squeezed her shoulder before letting her go and turning to find Aubrey. She was standing behind them smirking. "I thought I was your girl."

Stacie grabbed her hand and shook her head. "Beca is my gurl with a U and you're my girl with an I."

Aubrey chuckled and ran her thumb up and down the side of her hand. "You're ridiculous."

Stacie grinned and kissed her cheek. "Ridiculously in love with you."

"Ridiculously cheesy." Aubrey said tapping her nose.

They walked inside and found their table. "I'm going to the bathroom with Chlo to fix my makeup."

Stacie turned to talk to Beca when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Stacie, you look stunning."

"Luke!" Stacie smiled at him. "I didn't think I'd see you here."

"Yeah, we decided to come as a group seeing that the best girls already had dates." He winked at Beca over Stacie's shoulder and she rolled her eyes. "Would you like to dance?"

"Oh I just got here, I'm not dancing yet. Aubrey should be right back." Stacie looked in the direction of the bathroom to see if Aubrey was out yet.

"Just one song, I've barely seen you since you started dating her."

Stacie knew he wouldn't leave her alone until she accepted and it was better to get it over with early. "One song."

Luke smirked and held out his hand, taking Stacie and pulling her to the dancefloor. There were only a handful of couples on the dancefloor since a lot of people weren't there yet. Luke stopped on one side and Stacie groaned internally when she realized they were playing a slow song. He dropped her hand and moved his hands to her waist. "I've missed you, Stace. You barely talk to me anymore, I thought we were friends."

"We were never really friends, we just made out."

"We more than made out. Repeatedly." He pulled her closer. "We could still do it."

Stacie pulled away. "You know I'm with Aubrey. Why are you acting like a dick?"

He grabbed her hand loosely. "Hey, I'm sorry. You're right, come back." Stacie rolled her eyes but acquiesced and they went back to dancing. "I respect your relationship with Aubrey. I just saw how hot you looked tonight and I had to try, can you blame me?"

"Just keep your hands to yourself, okay?" Luke smiled innocently and twirled her.

Aubrey got back to their table. "Where did Stacie go?"

Beca's eyes opened wide. "Umm, she's dancing?"

Aubrey whirled around and her jaw dropped when she saw who Stacie was dancing with. When they had started dating, Stacie had told her which rumors about her promiscuity were true, Luke was one of them. She sat down and Chloe hurried to the chair next to her. "They're just dancing, Bree. It doesn't mean anything."

"I know." Aubrey nodded. She knew Stacie loved her and didn't want to be with anyone else. And she didn't want to be the crazy girlfriend who didn't let her dance with other people but she she still got jealous. Aubrey turned to face the table. "It's okay, Stacie can dance with whoever she wants."

When the song ended, Stacie walked back to their table. "You're back!" She sat down and kissed Aubrey's cheek.

Aubrey nodded and tightened her grip on her glass. "Yes, a bit ago."

Stacie noticed and placed her hand on Aubrey's leg. "Do you wanna dance?"

Aubrey gave her a small smile. "Sure."

They got to the dancefloor and Stacie wrapped her arms over her shoulders, running her fingers up and down the back of her neck. "Did it bother you that I danced with Luke?"

"What? No, of course not." Aubrey scoffed.

"Bree…"

"Okay, maybe it bothered me a tiny little bit." Stacie opened her mouth but Aubrey cut her off. "But I trust you, I don't want you to feel like you can't dance or do whatever with other people. We're gonna be living in different places, I'm gonna have to get used to being a little jealous without making it a thing."

Stacie looked at her for a moment before kissing her. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Stacie rested her head on her shoulder. "For the sake of honesty, I feel like I should tell you he did try to make a move on me."

"That little prick, I'm gonna punch him so hard he's gonna lose his accent."

Stacie moved her arms to her waist and held her back. "Baby, calm down. I told him no, and he backed off."

Aubrey slumped against Stacie. "See, this is what I mean!" She turned around and cupped Stacie's face. "I need to accept the fact that people might flirt with you when I'm not there."

"You don't have anything to worry about. I'm yours."

Aubrey smiled and brought their foreheads together. "I know."

Stacie kissed her. "We're going to be okay."
