The Other Side Of You - pt2

More to that random Mitchsen (BecaXAubrey) thing I did. Also on AO3

Beca and Aubrey high-fived one another in celebration of their victory against the 6 workers. Aubrey, getting caught up in the moment pulled Beca in for a hug. "I can't believe you didn't fuck that up" Aubrey said cheerfully, before quickly pulling away upon realizing that she was hugging the smaller girl.

Beca just smirked "I told you I can be dependable, they really went at it tho huh" she said glancing over at the group of defeated looking workers. "Even I myself am at a loss at how we beat them. But it was petty frickin badass. Also, my arms are dead."

"They may have been defeated, but at least they are closer as a team" Aubrey said proudly before turning towards the group to address them. "Our work here is done, you all seem more comfortable with each other"

The workers turned and looked at one another "you're right" one of the employees said with a smile. " Thank you for attending The Lodge At Fallen Leaves, please ensure you leave feedback at reception upon checking out"

The group then gave Beca and Aubrey their thanks before dispersing. Beca then turned to Aubrey "So what now?" Aubrey started walking "Oh? are you not heading home?" Aubrey asked sounding somewhat relieved, so she quickly changed her tone "Because I think I've seen too much of your face lately" she tried to say more sternly, to which Beca smirked "Hey, be nice, I was actually useful today" Aubrey smiled lightly "yes, yes, you was, wasn't you. I guess having you around isn't so bad"

Upon hearing that Beca had to try extra hard to stop herself from smiling. "You're only just realizing this now?" she teased "Good thing I still have just under a week of spring break left to kill"

Aubrey looked away "Well, seeing as you're sticking around tonight, I think we'll get some dinner at the on-site restaurant, and then head to bed. But be warned we're up early tomorrow. at 6.59am to be precise" Beca sighed "why such a specific number" Aubrey shrugged "I like to be different" she said as she opened a door, holding it open for Beca who walked into the building, surprised at Aubrey's action.

The pair had just finished up dinner. It wasn't awkward but they didn't discuss much. Aubrey was too busy going through the schedules on her clipboard, Beca didn't mind, sure, she would of liked to have talked more but she knew that this was Aubrey's job and more importantly her life so she decided not to make a remark.

She stayed pretty quiet, until she saw Aubrey's face light up as a waitress brought over her strawberry ice cream sundae "Thank you Riley!" she said cheerfully as she took the dessert and smiled down at it.

Beca raised an eyebrow almost judgingly "That better be one good dessert because you've smiled at that thing more than I think I've seen you smile at anyone"

Aubrey huffed as she shoved a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth "I'll have you know it is amazing" Beca smirked "wow, you even gave it a compliment too? I'm a little jealous. You wouldn't take your eyes off that schedule for me, but for that dessert, everything goes out the window" she said playfully.

Aubrey just shook her head "You sound ridiculous, you're not funny, even though I know you think you are. It's food Beca, I have to look at it in order to eat" Beca smirked "if I'm not funny, then why are you smiling"

"its because it tastes good! it has nothing to do with you!"

Aubrey said whilst shoving another spoon of ice cream into her mouth. Beca then grabbed a spoon from the table, she then abruptly reached over the table and dug her spoon into Aubrey's sundae, taking a big scoop and shoving it into her mouth. "Mm, it is good"

"Beca w-what are you" Aubrey defensively pulled her sundae away from the table looking horrified "Y-You just violated my sundae"

Beca poked her tongue out, and licked the remainder off her spoon "what?" she said shrugging "stop acting so horrified, sharing is caring" Beca then went to reach over with her spoon again and Aubrey jolted her chair backwards "No more!" she snapped in a higher pitch, clearly flustered "you should have ordered your own!"

"I'm a uni student, its pricey at your fancy ass camp, besides, why buy my own when I can just share with you"

"I will never share anything with you Beca. Never. Remember that" Aubrey said frowning, she then pouted as she glanced down at her sundae. As Beca raised her hand again Aubrey panicked, she quickly began scoffing the ice cream into her mouth as her way of stopping Beca from getting more. Beca just laughed as Aubrey hurried to finish it.

"Wait for it," Beca said looking smug.

"Wait for what?" Aubrey then let out a squeal as she pressed her hands to her head, groaning in discomfort "Brain freeze Aubrey?" Beca teased "I hate you" she huffed "You set me up for that didn't you" Beca smirked "Maybe? maybe not, I'm not really big on strawberry ice cream" she admitted "so yeah, I guess I did aim for that" Aubrey continued to groan as she shot Beca a look from between her fingers "you truly are a grade 'A' pain in my ass"

"At least I'm an 'A' " she replied with a smirk.

Beca and Aubrey had left the restaurant and were now preparing to settle down for the night. It was practically pitch black out there.

Aubrey was leading the way with her flashlight. The sounds of crickets chirping were apparent as well as various other noises.

"You're not going to be forcing me to spend a night in a tent right? I'm here as a guest now correct, so I take it I can use the facilities?"

Aubrey turned and smiled "Of course you're not going to be staying in a tent Becaaa." she almost sang.

"That'd be a waste of a tent." Aubrey then slung her a sleeping bag, that she took out of one of the storage cabins. "You'll be using a sleeping bag, its much more convenient and saves on space too" she then pointed at a spot on the ground "this is a good and safe spot. Just don't wander from the marked paths again" she said whilst tossing a flashlight on top of the bag.

Beca glanced down at the sleeping bag "You are kidding me right?" Aubrey shrugged "I have appointments for a reason Beca. Believe it or not, people actually like having me bark orders at them, our rooms are fully booked. That group of six check out tomorrow so I'll have space then"

Beca looked at her with tired eyes "You seem to be enjoying this" but to her surprise Aubrey dropped her voice to a softer tone as she placed her hand on Beca's shoulder "I really am sorry, if you'd of called I'd of tried to of arranged some more comfortable sleeping arrangements" she said sincerely.

Beca rolled her eyes "Don't worry about it" she said as she got down and climbed into the sleeping bag. "I'll at least zip it up for you" Aubrey then crouched down as she tugged at the zip, zipping Beca inside. "If you need anything I'll be in my cabin. Goodnight Beca" Beca mumbled up against the duvet "Night"

Once Aubrey was out of sight it suddenly dawned on Beca that she hadn't checked her phone since she got here. "I wonder what I've missed" she said to herself as she struggled to pull her arm out of the bag to undo the zip to allow herself to have room to move more freely.

She then reached into her pocket and brought her phone up to her face. "Now that I think about it, its been a long time since I've hung with someone that made me not want to check my phone. Even when she was preoccupied at dinner" Beca then shook her head to try and clear the thought. "Dammit Beca don't be weird" she then pressed the home button and her phone screen came alive.

"nine missed calls?" her eyes then read over the name 'Chloe' "Shoot, I didn't tell her I was coming here, I bet she's been losing her shit worrying" Beca pressed the call button and winced as she brought the phone to her ear.

Chloe: "Beca thank god your-- are those crickets? where are you? are you okay? did you crash? are you stranded!?"

Beca laughed down the phone

Beca: "Whoah, chillax Chlo I'm fine"

Chloe: "I knew you liked grasshoppers, but why are you around so many crickets it kinda sounds like--"

Beca: "yeah, I'm at Aubrey's camp. I'm sorry for not calling and worrying you dude"

Chloe sounded sad. Beca didn't need to be able to see her to be able to tell she was making her pouty face.

Chloe: "You mean you visited her without meee"

'That was kind of the point' she answered in her head.

Beca: "Yeah, well, I was in the area" she mumbled

Chloe: "Beca. You literally went to your internship, Aubrey's camp is like a 45-minute detour away from the dorm. How does one simply be 'in the area'

"Uh..."

Simultaneously Aubrey just couldn't get to sleep, she found herself changing into numerous positions before flopping on her back letting out a heavy sigh. Images of Beca flashed through her mind "I hate it, she's in my head" she said whilst abruptly sitting up and tossing her duvet aside.

She stood up in a huff. It was eating at her, she felt guilty forcing her to sleep in a sleeping bag "I mean" her eyes looked over at her bed "I've got plenty of room in my bed. And its not like its weird for two girls to share a bed, I share with Chloe all the time" Aubrey then stopped in front of her mirror and let out a whine "But then why am I so conflicted over this! why do I feel like its a big deal"

She paced around her room for several seconds "She is a guest this time... it would be rude to not invite her in" she said as she finally came to a stop. she put her shoes on and headed out the door.

Beca heard the sound of a twig snapping which put her slightly on edge. "Look Chlo, I need to go" Beca then noticed a familiar figure approaching in the distance

Chloe: "What? why? you've barely told me anything"

"we can talk more tomorrow, right now my arms are aching, holding the phone up is effort"

Chloe: "ooh, just what have you been up to you dirty little bird"

"Gross. If you must know I was rowing canoes over a huge lake, anyway" Beca glanced up and saw Aubrey close by "Later Chlo" Beca then cut the call as she noticed that Aubrey was now standing over her, averting her eyes.

"Whats up dude? Don't tell me its time to get up already"

"Just get up" Aubrey said awkwardly.

Beca shot her an angry glance "I know I complained, but waking up at 6.59am certainly sounds better than this"

Aubrey averted her eyes "Don't be silly Beca. I don't expect you to get up and work now, that'd be insane even for me"

Beca raised an eyebrow curiously "then what do you want?" Aubrey fell silent, awkward didn't cover how she felt "I am generously inviting you to sleep in my bed"

"What?" Beca sat up "I didn't hear you" she said with a smirk. Aubrey huffed and spoke a little louder "I said I'm inviting you to sleep in my bed" she grumbled as Beca beamed "No need to offer me twice" the irritation was apparent in Aubrey's eyes "I hate you. Now hurry up, you're turning this into a big deal"

Beca climbed out of her sleeping bag and picked it up as she got up on her feet "Actually, the only one making this into a big deal is you, Aubrey. We're only sharing your bed, why do you seem so flustered?"

Aubrey just started marching on ahead refusing to comment, in truth she didn't know why she was so flustered, it was all so confusing, so she just decided to ignore whatever was going on and hoped it'd go away.

Beca was now in her room whilst Aubrey was in the bathroom, splashing water on her face. Beca glanced around the room, she noticed that she had a canvas printed of all the Bellas covered in mud. Beca smiled, she never thought Aubrey was the kind of person to hang a canvas, she then rolled her eyes at her grumpy expression. 'She sure got this printed fast, we literally took this a few days ago' she thought to herself as she continued to explore the room further.

As she looked around she noticed a smaller framed photo that was on the bedside table. It was a photo of Aubrey and Chloe in graduation gowns. Beca raised an eyebrow "How comes Chloe's wearing a graduation gown?" Beca asked as Aubrey emerged from the bathroom "Ah, I was sad she wasn't graduating with me, so I made her put one on for the photo." Aubrey said casually, Beca was surprised to hear it was, in fact Aubrey's idea.

Aubrey then climbed into her bed. "You can gawk around my room all you want tomorrow Beca, the one who's going to have trouble waking in the morning will be you, not me. So I advise you get some sleep"

Beca then jumped on the bed landing on her stomach, she then glanced over at Aubrey and smirked "Someones desperate for me to be in her bed" Beca herself wasn't even sure why she said that. But Aubrey's horrified expression was gold, she swiftly rolled on her side, turning her back on her "I won't hesitate to put you back outside"

Beca rolled onto her side "Alright I'll stop pressing your buttons. Goodnight Aubrey"

"Up and at em Beca!" Aubrey yelled as she pulled the curtains open, dazzling Beca with the sunlight. Beca groaned and tried to shield her eyes from the unforgiving light "Why is it so bright!" she mumbled.

"Quit your whining, you should be happy that it's a bright morning" Aubrey then yanked the duvet back but she was adamant on not moving. "Beca! I didn't invite you to sleep in here so that you could be difficult in the morning. I'm on a tight schedule, if you were sleeping outside still, I assure you, you'd be up by now"

"Thing is, I'm not outside, I'm in a comfy bed, and not to mention you have really soft sheets" she said burying herself into them more. Aubrey huffed "I hate that you get so much joy out of this" Aubrey grabbed Beca by the legs and dragged her towards her within moments she was on the floor laughing.

Aubrey wanted to frown but she couldn't help but laugh as well. "Here" she extended her hand and pulled the brunette back to her feet. "Talk about a rough wake up call" Beca then stopped and stared at Aubrey for a moment "You know, given its first thing in the morning you still look good, how is that even a thing?"

Aubrey flicked her hair "why of course, we Posen's have excellent skin, it's all in our genes" Beca rolled her eyes "Now hurry up and get ready, and wear padded clothing, you'll need it"

"Aubrey wait I didn't bring any clothes--" but Aubrey had already walked out the door. Beca sighed, she wasn't prepared for the trip, but at the same time she knew Aubrey would kill her if she came out wearing the same clothes.

"Well, I'm sure something of hers will fit me" she mumbled to herself as she went over to her draws. She didn't feel good about rummaging through her clothes, but she felt she didn't have much choice. Beca's raised her eyebrows as she stumbled upon one of her own shirts in the draw "What the? I thought I lost this shirt" Beca pulled the purple plaid shirt out, it was the one she had worn in first year "like, I haven't seen this thing in two years. why does Aubrey have it?" she questioned as she put it on, it still fit which amused her.

Beca then noticed a few other things in the draw, she could see what looked like Lilly's comb, one of Stacie's eye masks and what looked like Fat Amy's pair of nunchucks, as well as other small things.

Beca thought about the items more and more, she figured Aubrey must have intentionally taken them with her when she graduated, she most certainly didn't take them all at once, because the girls would have all complained around the same time.

The fact that they were at her camp was not accident, she knew she took them on purpose. "I guess she was more attached to us all than she let on" Beca said to herself as she finally left the cabin and headed for the meeting spot.

Aubrey looked uneasy as she saw Beca standing there in that overly familiar purple plaid shirt "B-Beca, I said to wear something padded" Beca shrugged "Well after being reunited with my shirt, I just had to put it on" she said with a smirk as Aubrey stared at her. The more she stared at Beca the more she was hit with flashbacks of first year.

"its like you're meeting me for the first time all over again, how lucky are you" she said tugging at her shirt "Not even I have had the joy of meeting myself once and yet you get to do it twice, I'm jealous"

Aubrey inhaled sharply "you're not funny, where did you find that? why did you go down my draw?"

"I think the most important question is why do you have my shirt from two years ago? I saw some of the others girls stuff too"

Aubrey quickly turned her back, refusing to comment "Hello and welcome!" she said greeting the group that she was thankful showed up. It made a good excuse to change the subject. Beca swayed her head playfully as she walked on over and stood next to Aubrey.

"Today your employers have sent you to me to build up your trust! Apparently, relations between your co-workers have gotten messy. My understanding is that some intimate relationships have caused some trust issues. Luckily I am good at ironing out almost any problem, though relationships in the working environment are never easy, which is exactly why employee relationships are prohibited in my working environment. But enough about that, this is about you"

Aubrey then gestured the group to follow her a short distance to some climbing frames that had been set up. "Today you are going to do some rock climbing. You will climb in pairs and will be required to work as a team. As you can see" she said whist holding up a harness and a short length rope "the rope that ties you to your partner is short, you'll need to trust in one another and work together in order to complete the exercise."

Beca glanced up at the frame "Um Aubrey..." she tried to say quietly. "Me and my colleague here Beca will demonstrate" Beca glanced up once more "we will?" Aubrey turned her head "You seem panicked. You'll be fine Beca, I promise. Do you trust me?"

Beca contemplated her answer for a moment "I trust you enough to know you're dependable but I don't think I trust you with my life"

Aubrey rolled her eyes "you're being ridiculous, you're not going to die. The harnesses won't allow us to hit the ground" Beca felt some relief in hearing that but then she had other concerns "Yeah but i'm..." Aubrey smiled "Its okay Beca, I don't want to force you to face your fears."

"Fears? pfft, what fears i'm"

"Freaking terrified" Aubrey said with a soft smile "I'll get one of my workers to do it with me. Its fine, its what they're paid to do" Aubrey then stepped forward but Beca pulled her back holding her wrist "Okay, i'll do it. I'll face my fear with you Aubrey, but if I do, then you do to"

"What do you mean?"

Beca paused for a moment "Uh, y'know. You should uh totally tell me some things that no one else knows about you" Aubrey thought about it then nodded "Deal" she said with a soft smile "If you feel your gripp loosening, let me know. I won't let you fall"

Beca didn't know why, but she felt warm inside. Aubrey was actually pretty caring, she was surprised that she didn't try to playfully mock her fear, instead she tried to do all she could to reassure her.

Aubrey then turned her attention back to the group. "As your leaders for todays exercise me and my colleague Beca will demonstrate and you will then partake in the exercise afterwards. Remember, put your tension with one another aside, in order to complete the exercise unharmed you'll need to work together and more importantly put your trust back in one another"

Whilst Aubrey was going over some things with the others Beca was eying one of the climbing walls wearily "its huge!" a woman then tapped Beca on the shoulder, she was the waitress from the other night "You'll be fine" she said with a warm smile "If it makes you feel at ease we can do a practice run? just us two"

Aubrey glanced over watching the two of them exchange conversation in the background. She had forgotten what she was saying "Um Captain?" Aubrey suddenly got pulled back to reality, she hadn't realized how intently she was watching the two of them "Uh, that covers everything" Aubrey then walked over to the two brunettes.

"Ah, Riley can you go and prepare the rest of the harnessess for the group?" Riley smiled "I wasn't slacking off I swear, I've already checked I was just talking with my new friend Beca here" Aubrey frowned "well go and check them again!" she barked and Riley hesitantly started heading back over to the equipment.

Beca wanted to ask what that was all about, but Aubrey had already started the exercise. She attached the harnesses to herself and Beca. "You ready?" Beca nodded "as i'll ever be" Aubrey then reached up and pulled herself up "Take it slow and steady Beca"

Beca nodded as she slowly grabbed a hold of one of the ledges and raised herself up "If I make you fall, I am so sorry"

When Beca thought about it she realised that Aubrey was trusting her as well as relying on her not to embarrass her in front of the employees and her colleagues. "I won't let you down" Beca said as she climbed up to the ledge above Aubrey, she then reached down and grabbed Aubrey by the hand, helping to bring her up. "Taking the lead are we?" Aubrey smirked as they continued to scale the frame together. As they climbed Beca thought about how nice it was to do things with her, even though she was doing something she'd rather not be doing she was still happy, but she still couldn't put her finger on why.

After several slips the duo made it to the top platform.

"I'm proud of you Beca" she said with a smile. "We're a pretty awesome team am I right?" Beca said smiling back at her.

"well, its easy enough when you have a partner you can trust" Aubrey then gave a signal to one of the workers at the other end of the route, he then got the employees to begin their exercise.

It was now lunch time. The two were sat on a bench, on top of a hill that oversaw the lake. "You know Beca, you're not so bad after all" Aubrey said breaking the silence. "I am pretty damn awesome" Beca said with a smirk as she slouched back further.

"You are" Aubrey admitted which took Beca by surprise, making her sit forward again. "I was kidding, but thanks. You're actually really fun to hang out with" Beca then glanced down at her purple plaid shirt "you know, thinking back to when I first met you, I'd of never of thought that we'd ever get along, we were so different"

"They do say opposites attract" Aubrey then looked horrified at what she had just let slipped "you know, in a platonic way." Beca laughed softly "Yeah, I guess."

Aubrey then stood up and cleared her throat "Believe it or not lunch times over, back to work it is" Beca then stood up "Yes Boss" she said whilst playfully saluting. Aubrey then turned to look at Beca "Oh and Beca, thank you. Having you here has actually been helpful, it's been less stressful and um actually a lot more enjoyable so... thank you" Aubrey then began marching on ahead down the hill leaving Beca to chase after her.

After completing another successful exercise it was finally time for dinner and Beca was exhausted. Aubrey was constantly on to go if she was certain of anything it was that, that woman had stamina.

Aubrey was scanning the contents of her clipboard once more "Tomorrow should be a more peaceful day. I've got a meeting in the morning with my workers, it shouldn't take long, its just about stock take and budgets etc. You won't need to tag along"

Beca took a sip of her drink "So tomorrow I'll have all your attention then huh?" Beca teased but Aubrey didn't even bother to glance up. "Absolutely not, I'll be engaging in other leisurely activities that don't involve you"

Beca found herself jumping as a familiar-looking brunette leaned over her shoulder and placed two sundaes on the table. "Oh, uh, I didn't order a dessert" Beca said awkwardly as she glanced over at Aubrey "Did you?" Aubrey shook her head, still not bothering to glance up "Nope, take it back Riley"

Riley laughed "Oh, I actually brought you it on purpose Beca. I heard you complaining about the prices, so I thought I'd bring you one. I'm a good listener, you should know that about me, I even went as far as to get you a chocolate one, you're not a fan of strawberry right?"

At that moment Aubrey glanced up "Riley. you're not in the position to hand out freebies, whether they are my friend or not"

Riley just smiled "Relax, Aubrey, I bought it out of my own money" Riley then shot Beca a wink "Enjoy" Beca then smiled at up her "Thanks" she then directed her attention to an annoyed looking Aubrey, she tried to act unbothered but it was most certainly irritating her. "You okay?"

Aubrey nodded "I'm fine, I just realized I need to take care of something" she then stood up and Beca went to follow "No, No, you finish your dessert. I wouldn't want it to go to waste" Aubrey said forcing a smile as she walked off.

Beca slowly sat back down. She eyed Aubrey's sundae that she hadn't so much as touched "what's gotten into her?" she wondered as she recalled how her face lit up the previous night.

Beca then shrugged and dug her spoon into the sundae. "Its good".

As Beca sat at the table it dawned on her that Aubrey had taken some time. The untouched sundae opposite her had melted down into a liquid so she knew it had been awhile. Beca stood up and decided she'd try and find her. That was until her phone rang.

Beca answered, "Hey Chlo, what's up?"

Chloe: "You didn't call me back this morning"

Beca: "Shoot, sorry I was --"

Chloe: "Caught up with Aubrey?" Chloe teased "I was just talking to her actually, she seems annoyed, did you push her buttons Becs?" she asked with a soft laugh

Beca: "I don't think so I literally did nothing. Then again, I guess I don't have to do anything to annoy her, but I thought we were passed that" Beca then glanced down at her purple shirt "its your fault" she said whilst eying it

Chloe however, was confused "wait? my fault?"

Beca: "No, sorry I was uh, talking to my... shirt. Its the plaid one I thought I lost, turns out Aubrey had it. Though the memories of first year weren't a sweet time, so now I think putting it on was a bad idea because everything was good before I wore it"

Chloe: "Beca, you sound ridiculous, the shirt has nothing to do with it. Just find her and get her to talk about whats up."

Beca sighed "Okay, I'll try her room, and I'll tell you all about my visit when I get back home"

"Okay! bye Becs"

Beca then hung up and made her way outside and to Aubrey's lodge. She had given her a key so she let herself in, to her surprise Aubrey wasn't in the room. "Shoot" as Beca glanced around the room she noticed a framed photo face down, she hadn't noticed it before as it was on Aubrey's side of the bed, intrigued she walked over and lifted it up.

It was a photo of the two of them "I don't even remember this photo being taken" she stated smiling at it, they both actually looked happy, Beca looked at the shirt in the photo which was the same one that she was wearing "Maybe not all the memories were bad" she said standing the photo upright again.

The door then creaked and both Beca and Aubrey jumped at the sight of one another. "Dude! you scared the shit out of me"

"well, you startled me too" Aubrey said with a relieved sigh as she rested her hand against her chest "I was about to hit you with something" Aubrey then closed the door and walked further into the room "Sorry about earlier" she said with a soft smile "Here, you should wear this" she said handing Beca a red scarf tie like the one that she wore around her neck.

Beca took it and studied it "How comes?" Aubrey shrugged "well, currently you're working as an employee, its unpaid I know, but its important that our clients and staff can identify you as staff, to prevent future mistakes and errors that's all"

Beca tied it around her wrist "Gotcha" she as she casually flopped on the bed. "So let me guess, 6.59am sharp tomorrow?" Aubrey laughed and flopped down next to Beca "I'm not the devil, I have a meeting, there's no point waking you up just for the sake of it, you can sleep in and I'll wake you after I'm done"

"Who am I to argue" Beca said as she reached over and pushed a strand of hair away from Aubrey's eyes, she tensed up again. "You know Aubrey, you keep tensing up, need a back rub?" Aubrey yanked the duvet over herself, ensuring it covered her face "That's in inappropriate." Beca laid flat on her back "suit yourself, but I give killer massages, you're missing out"

The room fell silent and Beca found herself staring at Aubrey's back. "Hey, so uh, what was wrong earlier? you took off in a funk" Aubrey remained quiet for a moment "I was annoyed at how... last minute I was asked to take care of something, thats all."

Beca wasn't buying it but she didn't want to push her. "Alright Aubrey, well, night then"

It didn't take long for Aubrey to fall asleep, although she didn't show it she was exhausted and was out like a light. "I wish I could fall asleep that fast" Beca said to herself feeling envious, with no one to talk to she decided to pull out her phone. "Which nerd will be awake at this time of night" she wondered as she clicked on Stacie's name.

Beca: [You watching a late night documentary?]

Stacie: [You know me well. For the record, you'd actually enjoy this one, I miss having my documentary buddy around.]

Beca: [You can shove all the documentaries down my throat when I'm back]

Stacie: [oh yeah, that's right, I forgot, Chloe said you're visiting Aubrey right? Have either of you made a move yet?]

Beca: [Dude. No. That'd be super weird. Why would either of us make a move? I'm just trying to get to know her more]

Stacie: [Why?]

Beca: [What do you mean why?]

Stacie: [Why do you want to get to know her more?]

Beca: [Because I want to know her more than I do, y'know see the sides to her than probably only Chloe has seen]

Stacie: [But why do you want to?]

Beca hadn't actually thought about that. Stacie made a good point and she hated it

Beca: [Don't make things weird. Does it matter why?]

Stacie: [It does actually. Being the relationship guru, I can tell there's something between you two. And if you find yourself doing things without knowing why then its because you like her. I mean, since when have you taken the time to get to know Jessica or Ashley better? if I recall, a week ago when you were in that bear trap you said you didn't even know who was who. But here you are, spontaneously visiting Aubrey, alone I might add.

You didn't even invite Chloe and if anyone would have returned to 'hell' with you, it'd of been her. But no Mitchell, you wanted to go on your own. In truth, you wanted to be alone with her, and the fact she hasn't sent you running back to Barden means she wants it to]

Beca: [Did you pause your documentary to type all that...]

Stacie: [I did. Which means you know I'm taking it seriously. C'mon Beca, Aubrey may be bold in other areas but I think you're going to have to be the one to make a move. Don't wait until its too late. Get creative! if what I was saying wasn't true you'd of bitten my head off by now. You didn't even fight me when I accused you of liking her]

Beca: [I hate you. You'd make a good detective, but you're right. I guess, I had these feelings but I couldn't really identify what they were. but maybe you're right. Yikes. Maybe I do want us to be a thing.]

Stacie: [Okay, good, admitting it to yourself is a good first step, but this is Aubrey fuck this up and its game over. So how should we tell her? maybe I can help?]
