A/N: This is it then. Thanx for the ride, fellows. U guise r aca-awesome and I appreciate all the nice words of encouragement. And with this, this story is officially ended:
Epilogue
Chloe grinned broadly as she slipped into the already occupied shower stall, unnoticed by its occupant. Same occupant's singing sobered her rather quickly, though, it was horrible. The redhead made a face then established a neutral expression before she cleared her throat.
Gracie Lou Van Borden whipped around and started screeching:
"What the fuck! What are you doing in my shower, you perv?! Get out!"
"Calm your titties, GL, I'm not here for that. I have better taste than that. I wanna talk to you," Chloe calmy observed and the curvy blonde looked at her like she was mad.
"This is a shower, you dimwit. If you wanna talk wait till I'm finished."
"No, I think this is actually a good time, you know, no secrets and all," Chloe grinned and casually leaned forward to shut the water down.
"You're such a perv, wait till I tell Beca what you've done," the blonde snapped.
"Oh, Beca's used to that. I hadn't even known her five minutes before I joined her in the shower. Of course, she's a much better singer than you are, also: hotter. And while we're at the topic of Beca, that's why I'm here," Chloe sobered instandly and actually took a step closer to Gracie Lou. "Lay off her!" she told the blonde and stared her down. While Gracie Lou was half a head taller than Chloe, she was also very busy covering her body as best she could and Chloe's presence, her unselfconscious demeanor while she was stark naked was quite impressive. But not too mpressive for Gracie Lou to retort:
"Or what? Are you going to sponge me to death?" Chloe smiled.
"No," she answered. "but..." and she took a step back and pulled the shower curtain open. Outside stood five very naked, very fierce looking Bellas: Amy, Cynthia Rose, Stacie, Jessica, and Kerry. "...they might."
This finally left Beca's roommate speechless.
"You might not be aware of this but Beca is a member of the Barden Bellas and if you don't lay off her these lovely ladies will make their power known. And you won't like it, believe me. You should know that Jessica here writes for the Barden Bards Daily, Cynthia Rose writes her own blog on all things Barden University, and Amy... well, she knows people."
"And those people spread gossip faster than you can say: 'That's not true', babe," Amy offered with a smile.
"That's..."
"What? Unfair? Gracie Lou, let's face it, you have treated Beca unfairly since you came to live with her. And that pisses us off, so, deal with it. And you better change that ringtone on your phone mighty quick or mentioned phone might feel inclined to drown itself one of these days," Chloe threatened.
"I'm gonna tell what you did here. I'm gonna tell that you sexually herrassed me in the shower," Gracie Lou said but she didn't sound like her old bitchy self anymore, she seemed disheartened.
"Oh, bitch, please. Not if you paid me," Cynthia Rose said and looked first at Gracie Lou then at her naked friends. "There's five women here I'd rather sexually herrass than your overused white ass."
"That's so sweet, CR," Chloe said. "Anyway, just leave Beca alone from now on."
"Are we finished here, now, I feel a wave of lesbionic feelings coming up and I promised my ma I wouldn't do that anymore," Amy mumbled.
"Wait, you had pussy?" Stacie asked and she sounded impressed.
"Yeah, but I'm the only one in my family who can provide healthy if slightly obese off-spring. My cousins are all pretty weird and nobody would procreate with them."
"Let's go then," Chloe agreed. The Bellas picked up their towels and covered themselves while Gracie Lou still stared after them. Had this just happened? Could she even tell anyone? Would anyone believe something this weird? Probably not.
Chloe and Cynthia Rose were the last to leave the room with the shower stalls, Cynthia Rose held the door for her friend.
"I will never forget the look on her face," and the dark-skinned Bella imitated Gracie Lou's expression. Chloe grinned.
"I know, I should have brought my phone to take a picture," she agreed.
"We did good in there, didn't we?"
"Hell, yeah." They smiled as they walked over to Beca's room where they had left their clothes.
"Ding, dong, the bitch is dead," Cynthia Rose sang and Chloe laughed.
"By the way, what is going on between you and Jessica?" Cynthia Rose looked questioningly at the redhead. "I saw her looking at you in there. I think you should tap that," Chloe advised and her friend blushed slightly.
"I already have. We're kinda dating," she admitted. Chloe squealed delightedly.
"That's awesome, CR. I'm so happy. Is it a secret, though?"
"No, we were gonna tell the Bellas at the next practice, so..." Chloe smiled brightly and then hugged her friend.
"I'm so happy," the redhead said and then became aware of people staring at them, two towel-clad women standing in the hall hugging each other. "Oh, please, it's just two dykes having a heart-to-heart. Get you minds out of the gutter," she told them and Cynthia Rose giggled.
The two women joined their friends in Beca's room where everyone redressed. Then they set out for pizza.
Beca never knew what her friends did for her that day, she only knew that Gracie Lou didn't talk to her anymore than was necessary and if she did she was overly polite. Beca didn't complain, she could be civil but she had already decided that she wouldn't live in a dorm from now on. She would move in with a Bella - or maybe even with an ex-Bella if things progressed the way she wanted them to. And things looked very much like they would.
