25 Days of BeChloe Christmases - 2019

DAY 13 - CHRISTMAS CALAMITY

Prompt from Tumblr user rejection-isnt-failure: I'm partial to PP3 AUs (I'd love one with Calamity flirting with Beca, upsetting Chloe - we didn't get that in PP3).

"Spending Christmas in Europe while singing with the Bellas," Beca said as they stepped off the bus at their first stop. "It doesn't get any better than this. I so needed this trip."

"I think we all needed this trip," Chloe said.

"Let's go, ladies," Aubrey called out, clapping her hands.

"Who died and made her Captain again?" Fat Amy mumbled.

"What was that, Amy?" Aubrey asked with a raised brow.

"Um, eh, nothing, Captain," Fat Amy answered.

Emily and Flo snickered as they grabbed their suitcases and headed off in the direction they were told to go. Everyone groaned when they saw John and Gail, the hosts of Let's Talk Acapella.

The hapless duo went off on some rant about having all access to everything during the USO Tour. Beca tuned them out and turned to continue walking; the other Bellas shrugged and followed Beca.

They came around one of the aircraft, and Flo perked up. "Well, hello," she said as she stared at two soldiers making their way toward the Bellas

Chloe looked where Flo was staring and perked up as well. She bit her lower lip as she gave one soldier the once-over. Beca watched and rolled her eyes.

The two soldiers stopped, and one introduced himself and his partner. Beca snorted when the guy said his name was Chicago.

The girls had a hard time listening to Chicago's welcome speech when one of the aircraft's engines roared to life nearby. Once everything was said, Chicago led them to the hangar to introduce them to the other bands.

After some back and forth with the band Evermoist, the Bellas found themselves in another failed riff-off. The other two bands joined with Evermoist and started using instruments, and the Bellas walked away. Two of the girls from Evermoist watched them leave.

"As a group, they're not bad," Calamity, the lead singer, said. "But, that short brunette is good. Really good. They are our only real competition as far as I can tell."

"I agree," Charity said. "It looked like the others followed the brunette's lead. If we can put her off her game, the whole group will crumble."

"Leave that to me," Calamity said with an evil smirk. "I guarantee she's a little bit gay but hasn't realized it yet. I think I'll have some fun with her."

"You are bad," Charity said with a laugh. "And I love it."

Calamity continued watching as the Bellas left the hangar.

The four bands were heading to the mess hall for dinner when Amy stopped to flirt with one of the soldiers, blocking part of the door. Beca ran into the back of Fat Amy.

"Get moving, Amy," Beca said. "You're holding up the line, and we're hungry."

"Keep your pants on short stuff," Fat Amy said.

Calamity and her band squeezed by Amy and Beca. Calamity ran her hand across Beca's shoulders as she passed and said, "I wouldn't mind seeing you with your pants off."

Chloe was behind Beca and heard Calamity; her jaw dropped open. She recovered and snapped her mouth shut as she glared at Calamity.

"Yeah, well, I'd like to see you take them off," Beca called out and then grimaced. "Oh, God, what did I just say?"

Chloe huffed and shoved Beca out of the way and entered the Mess. Amy looked at Beca and shook her head.

Beca's shoulders slumped as she followed the rest of the Bellas to a table.

~ Day 13 of 2019's 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases ~

After dinner, the bands went to a nearby bar to relax before the competition really started. Beca was sitting at the bar, watching Chloe dance with Chicago. She couldn't help but smile because Chloe danced with abandon but also seemed to always be in control.

"So, I Googled you, and you're a pretty big name in the acapella world," Calamity said, sitting next to Beca at the bar. "You have quite an impressive win record."

"Yeah, um, it wasn't all me," Beca said, sipping her beer. "The Bellas helped. We all do our parts, and we work well together."

"I can't wait to see you get out there and show us what you got," Calamity said.

"Uh, same," Beca said and mentally face-palmed herself. "What the hell did that mean?"

"Hey, Becs," Chloe said, coming to stand by Beca and ignoring Calamity. "What are you doing sitting here all by yourself?"

Calamity smirked as she took a drink of her beer.

"I'm not by myself," Beca said, pointing her beer at Calamity. "I was just talking with Calamity."

Chloe glanced over her shoulder and said, "Oh, sorry. I didn't see you."

"That's okay," Calamity said.

"Anyway, Becs," Chloe said, turning her back on Calamity again. "The girls are tired, and we have an early rehearsal tomorrow. Are you ready to go?"

"Um, sure," Beca said and finished her beer. She stood and looked at Calamity.

"I, um, have to go," Beca said. "We have an early rehearsal tomorrow."

"Sweet dreams," Calamity said with a wink. "I hope I'm in yours because I know you will be in mine."

Beca blushed, and Chloe felt her blood boil.

Beca opened her mouth, and instead of saying goodnight as her brain was wanting her to do, she said, "I guess I'll see you later in my dreams."

Chloe huffed and stormed off with Beca chasing after her.

"Chloe?" Beca called out. "I'm sorry, okay?"

Chloe stopped and turned toward Beca. Beca barely managed to keep herself from running into Chloe.

"I can't believe you," Chloe said.

"Uh-oh," CR said. "What happened?"

Chloe looked around and saw all the girls were standing and looking at her and Beca.

"I can't help it," Beca said. "She's inside my head."

"Oh, no," Fat Amy said, shaking her head. "Do we have a Kommissar 2.0 situation going here?"

"Yes," Chloe said.

"No, Beca said, causing Chloe to glare at her.

"Let's just go to our rooms," Aubrey said. "I think we'll all feel better in the morning.

"Whatever," Chloe said and stormed off with Aubrey hot on her heels.

"Beca, Beca, Beca," Fat Amy said, putting an arm around Beca's shoulders. "You need to get your head in the game if we expect to win this thing. Don't let Calamity get to you."

"I can't help it," Beca whined. "She's so pretty, and interesting and she says all these things that make me feel things."

"You'd better be careful, Beca," Jessica said. "Remember how Chloe was when you flirted with Kommissar? We don't want to see you two end up in a fight again."

"I didn't flirt with her; she flirted with me," Beca said. "And she got inside my head like Calamity's doing. Oh, God, she's doing what Kommissar did. But it wasn't all bad. We did win Worlds, so that makes everything okay, right?"

"Not really, Beca," Emily said, shaking her head. "I suggest you stay away from Calamity. Or make sure you're with one of us at all times."

The other Bellas nodded in agreement.

"Fine," Beca said. "I'll focus on us and our performances and nothing else."

~ Day 13 of 2019's 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases ~

"How did it go?" Charity asked Calamity as she walked into their shared room.

"It went better than I expected," Calamity said. "I got Beca, the brunette, all flustered, but I also got the redhead hot under the collar. I think there might be something between them."

"Like romantically?" Charity asked.

"Maybe," Calamity said. "I think they'd like to be romantically involved, but they haven't done anything about it yet. I think they both like each other but haven't admitted it."

"But isn't the redhead drooling over that soldier?"

"Yeah," Calamity said. "Which will make this even more fun. A jealous redhead who is attracted to her friend and some guy is sure to derail the Bellas, and we will win Khaled's competition."

"What are you going to do?" Charity asked.

"I only have three days," Calamity said. "I'm going to up my game."

~ Day 13 of 2019's 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases ~

The next morning, Evermoist entered the rehearsal space as the Bellas were finishing a run-through of their set. Calamity smirked at Beca and noticed Chloe glaring at her. She smiled and blew Beca a kiss. Beca looked lost and had no idea which way to turn.

"We're still rehearsing," Chloe said with an air of authority as she stood with her arms crossed, glaring at Calamity. "We still have the room for another ten minutes."

"We don't mind waiting," Calamity said as the band members took a seat to watch. "Please, go on."

Chloe fumed as Calamity wore a smug smile.

"Fine," Chloe said, her voice tight. "Let's go, girls. One more time."

The Bellas all moaned and groaned as they got into position. Aubrey hurried over to Chloe.

"Do you think this is wise?" Aubrey whispered to Chloe. "We don't want them to know what we're doing. The could sabotage us or something."

"Aubrey's right, Chloe," Emily said, having joined them.

"What's going on?" Beca asked from behind Chloe.

"Brey doesn't think we should do another run-through," Chloe said.

"If they know our routine, they could do something to sabotage us," Aubrey said.

"You're right," Beca said. "Plus, the girls are all tired. Maybe we should take it easy for the rest of the day, so we're fresh for tonight."

"I'm with Beca," Emily said.

"Me, too," Aubrey added.

Chloe had been listening but also watching Calamity and her group. "I agree," Chloe said. "Come on, Becs. Let's grab some lunch. I want to talk to you."

Beca's eyes went wide, and she looked at Aubrey, who shrugged. Seeing Chloe already walking toward the door, Beca hurried to follow.

"You're pretty good," Calamity told Beca, making her stop.

"Um, thanks," Beca said and took a step as if to continue walking.

"You may not play an instrument," Calamity said, causing Beca to stop again and look at the woman. She saw that Calamity was looking down at her chest. "But you sure have a great pair of," Calamity licked her lips and slowly raised her eyes to Beca's, "lungs."

Beca's cheeks reddened, and Calamity looked at her with a raised brow and a smirk on her face. Beca's eyes went to Calamity's mouth, and she stared as if mesmerized by what she saw.

"Beca!" Chloe called from outside the room. Beca shook her head and tried to focus on the Bellas; she could see them watching her, expectant looks on their faces.

Beca straightened up and took a deep breath and said, "I hope the rest of your day is as nice as your butt."

The Bellas groaned; Beca grimaced. Beca's shoulders slumped as she left to catch up to Chloe, Calamity's laughter ringing in her ears.

Chloe waited for Beca to catch up to her. She looked at Beca and opened her mouth to speak but snapped it shut.

"Are we going to go through what we went through with DSM?" Chloe finally asked.

"No," Beca said softly. "I'm sorry, but you know how I get around intimidating women."

"Yeah, I do," Chloe said, frowning. "I just don't understand why it's always our competition that does this to you."

"That's not true," Beca said, looking at Chloe.

"It is true," Chloe said. "You don't act this way around Aubrey, and you once said she was one of the most intimidating women you had ever met."

"She is," Beca said. "But I'm not attracted to Aubrey."

"That's why you're like this?" Chloe asked, tears stinging her eyes. "Because you're attracted to them? I thought you were straight."

"I can be straight and still be attracted to a woman," Beca said defensively.

"Were you ever attracted to me?" Chloe asked softly.

"What? No," Beca said. "Why the hell would you ask me that? You're my best friend."

"Got it," Chloe said and walked away without looking back at Beca.

"What the hell just happened?" Beca mumbled.

"You stepped in it again," Fat Amy said, causing Beca to jump.

"I'm going to go check on Chloe," Aubrey said. She stopped and looked down at Beca. "And you need to figure out a way to apologize."

"For what?" Beca asked, looking around at the Bellas. "Seriously. What do I need to apologize for?"

"Chloe's -" Emily started.

"No," Aubrey interrupted. "It is not for us to say. But you need to figure things out and fast."

With that, Aubrey walked away. The rest of the Bellas followed, leaving Beca and Fat Amy.

"Amy, please?" Beca said, looking at her Aussie friend. "Tell me what's going on."

"Aubrey would kill me if I said anything," Fat Amy said.

"But, I'm your best friend," Beca said. "That should count for something."

~ Day 13 of 2019's 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases ~

Beca spent the rest of the day moping around because Chloe was absent from all the Bellas activities, and Beca was afraid of who she might be with. She thought about what had happened earlier and realized that she liked Chloe as more than a friend. And if she hadn't been so oblivious, she would have realized Chloe was trying to let her know that she liked Beca.

Beca perked up when she saw Chloe backstage at their performance. She frowned when Chicago came up behind her and put his arms around Chloe's waist. Beca turned away, not seeing Chloe pull away from Chicago.

"Hey, Beca," Calamity said as Evermoist prepared to take the stage. "If I give you my number, would you send me your picture, so I can send Santa my wish list?"

Chloe was suddenly by Beca's side. "Ignore her, Becs. She's trying to rattle you so you'll be off your game and they can win the competition. Let's show them who we are and what we can do. Are you with me?"

Beca looked at Chloe and smiled. "I'm with you. Always."

"Good," Chloe said, smiling at Beca.

Beca and Chloe stood together and watched Evemoist's performance.

"They are good," Beca said.

"But, we're better," Chloe said. "Do I need to have Amy rub some of her butt confidence on you? Will that get your head in the game?"

"Oh, my God, no. My head is in the game, I swear," Beca said. "Evermoist is going to have their asses handed to them!"

"That's my gi-, um, Beca," Chloe said.

Evermoist finished their set and hurried offstage. Calamity winked at Beca as she passed her. Beca smiled and looked at Chloe.

"You ready?"

~ Day 13 of 2019's 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases ~

After their performance, the Bellas were celebrating at the hotel bar.

Chloe raised her drink and said, "To the Bellas!"

"To the Bellas!" the girls all cried before taking a drink.

Chloe pulled Beca to her in a side hug. "You were great out there, Beca."

"No," Beca said. "We were great."

Beca looked over Chloe's shoulder and saw Chicago standing there, looking at her.

"Um, I guess you're leaving," Beca said.

"What? Why would I be leaving?" Chloe asked.

Beca nodded over her shoulder, and Chloe looked back. "Oh," she said.

"Yeah, oh," Beca responded, taking a sip of her drink. She stood and made to move past Chloe, but Chloe stopped her.

"Wait here," Chloe said. Beca looked back at Chicago again and then at Chloe. "Please?"

Beca nodded and sat back down. Chloe went over to Chicago, and Beca tried not to stare at them. She saw Chloe hug him and then walk back to Beca.

"Is, um, is everything okay?"

"Yep."

Beca wasn't sure why she couldn't let it go, but she had to ask. "Why aren't you with him?"

"Do you want me to be with him?"

Beca swallowed and said, "No."

"It's been said that nothing lasts forever," Chloe said, staring at Beca. "Wanna be my nothing?"

"What?" Beca asked, furrowing her brow.

"I've heard kissing burns 6.4 calories a minute," Chloe said. "Wanna workout?"

"Chloe, what are you doing?" Beca asked with a laugh.

"Flirting with you," Chloe said, stepping closer to Beca. "Am I not doing it right?"

"Chlo," Beca said.

"I want you to want me to flirt with you," Chloe said. "I want you to get all flustered when I tell you how cute you are. I want you to want me like I want you."

Beca looked at Chloe and gave her a half-smile, saying, "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?"

"Absolutely!" Chloe said, pulling Beca into a hot, searing kiss.

"Wow!" Beca said when Chloe pulled back from the kiss.

"Was that okay?" Chloe asked.

"That was more than okay," Beca said. She took a deep breath and let it out. "What does this mean for us?"

"It means whatever you want it to mean," Chloe said.

"What if I said I want it to mean forever?"

"Would I scare you off if I said I want it to mean forever, too?"

"Not a chance," Beca said as she leaned in to kiss Chloe again.
