From a prompt from Thelonewolf06 - Beca is one of the Bellas legal guardians and comes to visit them at college where she meets Chloe. There is more to the prompt but I don't want to give the whole story away.
Don't know if I need to say this all the time or every now and again, but I don't own Pitch Perfect, its characters, or those who portray said characters. Happy reading!
Stacie Conrad was so excited to be accepted into the Barden Bellas a capella group. She called her sister, Beca, to remind her that her first practice was today.
"Hey, Becs," Stacie says when Beca answers the phone. "I just wanted to remind you that my first Bellas practice is today!"
"I remember, Stace!," Beca says. "Let me know your performance schedule as soon as you can. I'll see if I can make it to see one."
"Yeah, right," says Stacie. "You think a capella is lame. You would hate it."
"But I love you," said Beca. "So I'd be willing to torture myself to come see you perform."
"I have to run," Stacie said. "Bellas practice starts in just a bit and I don't want to be late."
"Okay," Beca says. "Bye. I'll talk to you later. Love you."
"Love you, too," Stacie says and hangs up.
"Oooo, talking to your loverboy?," says Fat Amy. She's also a freshman and a new Bella along with Stacie.
"No," Stacie said. "I was talking to my sister. Well, half-sister actually. We have the same mother."
Fat Amy and Stacie enter the auditorium for the first Bellas practice. Aubrey Posen, the Captain, and Chloe Beale, the Co-Captain, are the only ones there. The two new girls walk in and sit down. Soon the other new Bellas arrive.
The girls all introduce themselves and chat a bit before Aubrey claps her hands and asks for everyone's attention.
"Welcome, ladies," Aubrey says. "Chloe is handing out songs that we have done in the past. Some of these we will be doing this year. We only do songs made famous by women. Our goal, ladies, is to make to the ICCAs and bring home a championship trophy."
"It will a lot of hard work," Chloe said. "But we have a great group of girls and we're gonna kick some a capella ass."
"Yeah," said Fat Amy. "That's what I'm here for."
"During practice we will work on vocalization and will also do some cardio," Aubrey said. "Practice will be held for 2 hours every day, except Sunday. Some practices will need to be longer as we get closer to a competition, but we will let you know when that will happen. I also expect you to do cardio on your own. We will be expending a lot of energy while we are on stage and the cardio will help you."
"Um," Amy says raising her hand. "Don't put me down for cardio."
Aubrey ignores her and says, "Okay, let's work on our vocalizations."
"Stacie, Lily, Denise, and Amy, you come with me," Chloe says.
"Jessica, Ashley, Flo, and CR, you're with me," Aubrey says leading the girls to the other side of the auditorium.
Practice continues and Stacie is glad when it's over. She has homework she hasn't started yet. She needs to call Beca and let her know she's going to the library. As Stacie heads to the library she pulls out her phone and calls Beca.
"Hey, Stace," Beca says. "How was your first practice?"
"It was hard," Stacie said. "But it's a really cool group of girls so I think we'll have a lot of fun."
"I'm really glad you're enjoying it," Beca said. "What time will you be home?"
Beca Mitchell is a music producer. Actually, an award winning music producer with her own record label who opted to open a branch in Atlanta so she could be near Stacie. She also bought a house close to campus so Stacie didn't have to worry about living in a dorm.
"That's why I'm calling," Stacie said. "I have to go to the library to do some research for a paper I'm working on."
"Okay," Beca said. "Don't be too late. I'll ask Mrs. Laskey to leave some dinner for you. I have to go back to the studio for a few hours."
"Thanks, Bec," Stacie said. "I guess I'll see you in the morning."
"Good luck with your paper," Beca said and hung up.
Beca and Stacie were very close and there wasn't anything that one wouldn't do for the other. Beca was spending a lot of time at the studio but made sure she was home for dinner with Stacie.
Stacie was doing great in her classes. It's been about a month since she became a Bella and the practices were hard but she was enjoying getting to know all the girls. She was currently at practice and took a moment to look at all the girls. She knew all the new Bellas were Freshman like her. Fat Amy was a character. She kept them all laughing telling stories about fighting dingos and crocs. Cynthia Rose (or CR as she asked to be called) had an amazing voice and could rap better than some of the rappers Beca had signed to her label. Stacie might have to have a talk with her music producer sister about CR. Jessica and Ashley were two of the sweetest people you could ever meet. They were so much alike, it was like they were one person. Denise was fun and Stacie thinks she has a thing for CR. Flo was great at gymnastics. She actually did back flips all the way around the auditorium without stopping on a dare from Fat Amy. It was pretty amazing to watch. And then there was Lily. None of the girls knew much about Lily because no one could hear anything when she talked. At least they thinks she was talking.
Then there was Aubrey and Chloe. They were both Seniors, best friends, and had been with the Bellas since their Freshman year. Aubrey was blonde and seemed to be wound pretty tight. She was stern and worked them hard. Chloe was a redhead and had a bubbly, outgoing personality. She also had one of the best singing voices Stacie had ever heard. She tried to inject some fun in their practices to offset Aubrey's harshness. Somehow, despite their different personalities, they made things work.
Stacie was brought out of her thoughts when Aubrey got everyone's attention and started practice.
Before Aubrey let the girls go she announced they would be having a mandatory Bellas Bonding Night on Friday night. It would consist of watching movies and getting to know each other better. The girls were told to bring everything they would need with them to practice on Friday and they would all walk to Aubrey and Chloe's off-campus apartment together. It was suggested that anyone that had a sleeping bag should bring it.
"We have some movies," Chloe said. "If you have any you want us to watch, feel free to bring them with you. Also, it would be nice if you girls could bring some snacks and some drinks. We'll have some but we're still struggling college students like you guys."
"I'll bring the makings for my 'Surprise Punch'," Fat Amy said.
"What's in a 'Surprise Punch'?" CR asked.
"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?," Amy said.
"Should we allow them to have alcohol?," Aubrey asked Chloe. "They're all under age."
"It's college, Brey," Chloe said. "They'll be staying overnight so we can keep an eye on them. I don't think there is too much harm in letting them cut loose a little bit. It will be fine."
The girls were excited about the sleepover but they were even more excited when Aubrey announced there would be no practice on Saturday.
Stacie was a little nervous. She didn't think Beca would let her go if she knew there was going to be alcohol. Maybe she could leave that part out.
Aubrey dismissed everyone and the girls left talking about the Bellas get-together. Stacie got in her car and drove home to meet Beca for dinner. She would tell her about the party tonight and hoped she would say it was okay for Stacie to go.
Beca was home when Stacie got there. She walked into the house and it smelled delicious. "Beca's making mom's lasagna," Stace thought. "Cooking always put Beca in a good mood."
"Hey, Becs," Stacie said as she walked into the kitchen. "Do I smell lasagna? I smells great."
"Yep," Beca said. "I was able to get most of the afternoon off so I thought I'd cook us dinner tonight."
Everything is ready and the two girls sit down to eat.
"Becs," Stacie says. "There's going to be a Bellas Bonding Night on Saturday night and it's mandatory that all the Bellas be there."
"And you're telling me this, why?," Beca asks.
"Because it's mandatory," Stacie says. "I have to go unless there is a really good reason for me not to."
"Where will it be?," Beca asks.
"At Aubrey and Chloe's apartment," Stacie says.
"They are the Captain and Co-Captain, right?," Beca asks.
"Yes," Stacie says.
"Will there be alcohol?," Beca asks.
Stacie sighs. "Yes," she says quietly.
"I don't know, Stace," Beca says. "You know how I feel about that. Plus you're underage. I don't like it."
"Come on, Becs," Stacie says. "You know I'm responsible. I won't drink any alcohol. I'll stick to water or juice or soda."
Beca looks at Stacie. She is considering whether this would be a good idea or not.
"Becs, please?," Stacie says. "This is college. You're the one who told me to get out there and join a club. To get the whole college experience."
"Alright," Beca said. "BUT, you have to solemnly swear that you will not drink."
"I swear," Stacie says. "Thank you, thank you, thank you."
