Note: I've jumped onto the Pitch Perfect Rare Pair Week 2018 bandwagon and this is my submission for Day 1 - Fake Dating. Part of the instructions said "No Beca/Chloe" pairings so if you've come to read about BeChloe you are going to be disappointed. I do hope you enjoy what I've done.

Chloe Beale's mouth dropped open when she saw Stacie Conrad kissing Beca Mitchell. She had thought that she and Beca had a special connection and might someday be able to be more than friends. "I guess that ship has sailed," Chloe thought. "I guess now I can accept Tom's offer for a date."

Beca pushed Stacie off of her. "What the hell are you doing?," she squealed.

"Oh, you loved it," Stacie said. Seeing the glare Beca gave her she continued. "Fine. You remember that guy Mark I was telling you about? Well, he was was looking over here at us. He wanted to hook up but I know he is dating someone so I told him I couldn't because I was dating someone."

"So, now he thinks we're dating?," Beca asked.

"Hopefully," Stacie said. "I'm sorry, Beca. I just want him to leave me alone."

"It's okay," Beca said. "At least no one else saw so we're good."

Later that afternoon Beca walked into Bellas rehearsal behind Stacie. "Hey, it's the happy couple," Chloe said with a smile.

"What?," Beca asked looking at everyone. "What are you talking about?"

"I saw you two earlier on the quad," Chloe said. "Why didn't you tell me? I'm supposed to be your best friend."

"It just happened," Stacie cut in and putting her arm around Beca. "We wanted it to be just us for a bit. You know?"

"I get it," Chloe said. "Beca's one of my best friends, so just know that if you hurt her you will have to answer to me."

"Yes, ma'am," Stacie said and pulled Beca over to sit together.

"What the hell, Stacie?," Beca whisper yelled. "Now all the Bellas are going to think we're together."

"That's the idea," Stacie whispered back. "Chloe and Aubrey both know Mark. If he says anything to them about us he'll find out I lied. This way, we date for a bit and then break up with no hard feelings. Mark will have forgotten about me and all will be good."

"I don't know, Stacie," Beca said quietly, leaning in to speak in Stacie's ear so she wasn't overheard. "This just feels like a disaster waiting to happen."

"Please, Beca?," Stacie said, leaning into Beca. "Just for a week or two. I'll owe you big."

Beca thought about it and, against her better judgement, agreed.

"Thank you," Stacie said and kissed Beca on the cheek, causing her to blush.

"Yeah! Get it, Legs," Fat Amy said.

Beca blushed even more. Stacie just sat back with a big smile on her face and took Beca's hand in hers. Beca was a bit uncomfortable with all this PDA but shook it off and went with it.

"Don't take this the wrong way," CR said. "You two look like you could be sisters so it just looks weird seeing you as a romantic couple."

"Ew, incest," Fat Amy said.

"Incest?," Beca asked incredulously. "Why would you even go there? You guys are just weird."

"Ignore them, babe," Stacie said putting her arm around Beca's shoulders. "If they knew what we'd been doing, they would definitely know we are not related. At least not yet anyway." Stacie gave her a saucy wink and Beca became flustered.

"Stacie," Beca said cheeks even redder than before. "That. They. You can't, you know, go around saying stuff like that."

"Okay, ladies," Aubrey said clapping her hands to get their attention. "Let's leave Stacie and Beca alone and respect their privacy."

"Thank you, Aubrey," Stacie said.

Beca felt bad all during rehearsal. She kept looking at Chloe because, if anyone had asked, she thought she would most likely end up with Chloe. She noticed Chloe kept looking at her, too. Always giving her the mega watt smile Chloe was famous for. Beca decided she needed to talk to her 'girlfriend' after rehearsal.

~/~/~/~/~

Rehearsal was finally over and Beca asked Stacie if they could talk.

"Sure," Stacie said. "Come to my dorm room so we can have some privacy."

"Okay," Beca said. "Let's go."

Stacie and Beca walked out of the Auditorium and it was Beca's turn to drop her jaw. There, not ten feet away, was Chloe kissing Tom, the shower guy. Beca had thought Tom was just a fuckbuddy. Apparently not.

"Wow, good for Chloe," Stacie said. "I know those two have been kind of hooking up, but it looks like it's turned into something more."

"Yeah, I guess so," Beca said. She was kind of hurt. Chloe was her best friend and never said she and Tom were anything but a hookup now and then.

"Oh, shoot," Stacie said and grabbed Beca in a hug. "There's Mark."

Beca took a quick look and Mark stood not too far off watching the couple. Beca gave a small sigh and stood on tiptoe to give Stacie a kiss on the lips. Stacie was taken a bit by surprise at Beca's bold move, but recovered quickly.

"Come on," Stacie said. "I thought we were heading to my dorm to 'talk'." She said it loud enough for Mark to hear, implying that they were going to do anything but talk.

"Okay," Beca said and let Stacie start dragging her to her dorm.

"Beca, wait!," she hears Chloe call out. The couple stops and waits for Chloe and Tom to reach them. "Tom and I were just talking and wanted to know if you guys wanted to go on a double date with us?"

Beca's eyes widened and she looked at Stacie. Stacie smiled and Beca got a bad feeling that Stacie was going to agree.

"We're actually busy tonight," Beca said quickly. "Sorry."

"I didn't mean tonight, silly," Chloe said with a laugh. "How about Friday night?"

"Yeah," Tom said. "We were going to go do dinner and then maybe hit the campus pub. Don't worry, they don't card so you two can get in."

"We'd love to," Stacie said before Beca could open her mouth.

"Um, yeah, sure," Beca said.

"Great," Chloe said. "We'll talk later to firm up plans."

Beca's head was spinning as she walked with Stacie to her dorm. She was now Stacie's 'girlfriend', the girl she thought she would end up with now had a boyfriend, their friends all think Stacie and Beca are a couple. She was starting to feel a little overwhelmed.

"You okay, Becs?," Stacie asked as she unlocked her dorm room. "I can practically hear you thinking."

Beca entered the room and sat down on the desk chair. "A lot has happened today," Beca said. "It's just a lot to take in."

"I know," Stacie said sitting on the edge of the bed and facing Beca. "I do appreciate you doing this for me."

"Yeah," Beca said. "And you owe me, BIG! So, there's that." She gave Stacie a smirk and Stacie laughed.

~/~/~/~/~

Beca and Stacie managed to 'date' for another two weeks and started discussing how to 'break up'. Beca found herself not really wanting to end things. She had fallen for her 'fake' girlfriend but didn't know how to tell her. She and Stacie always had fun together and that wasn't fake. Little did she know that Stacie was also trying to figure out a way to tell Beca she really liked her, too.

They were getting ready because they had plans to meet up at the campus pub for another double date with Chloe and Tom. They had tabled the break up discussion for now.

"Hey, Becs," Chloe called out when she saw the couple walk into the pub.

Stacie and Beca walked over and sat at the table. Beca put her arm around the back of Stacie's chair causing the leggy brunette to look at her. Beca just winked at her and Stacie smiled.

The night was going well and both couples were dancing and drinking. Stacie had Beca out on the dance floor and was grinding on Beca, but Beca wasn't complaining. That is until Stacie was no longer grinding on her. She looked to see Mark holding Stacie by the arm and trying to grind on her.

"Stop it, Mark," Stacie said. "I don't want to dance with you."

"Yes, you do," Mark said with a sneer. "Everyone knows the "hunter" can't be tamed. Especially by a midget -"

The next thing anyone knew Mark was on the floor, blood pouring out of his nose.

"Shit, ow, shit, ow, ow," Beca cried, shaking her hand about.

"Beca, are you alright?," Stacie asked grabbing the shorter brunette's hand to look at it. "Oh, my God, Beca. Look at your hand."

Mark was trying to stand up when Tom came rushing over and grabbed him. He hustled Mark away from the girls and Chloe was now standing next to Stacie and Beca.

"Let me see, Beca," Chloe said, taking Beca's hand. "It doesn't look broken and it's really going to be sore tomorrow. Let's get some ice on it to help the swelling."

The three girls walk over to the bar and the bartending gives them some ice wrapped in a bar towel. Chloe puts Beca's hand on the bar and gently lays the homemade ice pack on it.

"Want to tell me why you punched Mark in the nose?," Chloe asked.

Beca looked at Stacie and raised an eyebrow. Stacie debated on whether to tell Chloe the truth when Beca spoke.

"Because nobody messes with my girlfriend," Beca said and shrugged.

Chloe smiled. "You really are the badass you say you are."

"She's my badass," Stacie said with a big smile and kissed Beca. Beca put her good hand around Stacie's neck and pulled her in to deepen the kiss.

Tom came up to check on them and smiled when he saw them kissing. He took Chloe's hand and said, "Maybe we should leave them alone."

"Yeah," Chloe said with a laugh. "I seriously doubt they'll miss us."

Beca pulled out of the kiss as Chloe took Tom's hand and walked away. Stacie put her forehead against Beca's.

"Does this mean what I think it means?," Stacie asked.

"I think so," Beca said. "Maybe you should kiss me again to make sure."

"My pleasure," Stacie said and kissed Beca.
