the bellas, rid of the tight uniforms, walked down backstage in their own outfits. jaime wore a blue button up with black jean shorts and some deep blue doc martens. the bella scarf was wrapped around her wrist taking a microphone, walking up to jesse. "hi."

"oh, hey." he sounded unsure.

"good luck." she nudged him and they both blushed.

"thanks, you too." he looked down to jaime's lips before running on stage to perform.

the trebles were acting as instruments, "i've been living for the weekend but no, not anymore. cause here comes that familiar feeling that friday's famous for."

jesse slightly slid his hand down the mic stand, letting go as he walked forward, "yeah, i'm looking for some action and it's out there somewhere. you can feel the electricity all in the evening air."

as he performed, jaime blushed at the voice jesse had on him. it was the first song in the group that he was singing solo and with bumper seemingly gone, she could only assume he was now the leader.

all of the trebles, at the start of the song, imitated instruments. as the song progressed, they were doing other fun stuff before lining up in a few lines.

as they leant into the next part, benji walked out and jaime gasped, smiling.

"i've got the magic in me. everytime i touch that track, it turns into gold."

his voice was so smooth, "now everybody knows i've got the magic in me! when i hit that floor, the girls come snapping at me! now everybody wants some presto magic~."

it was a perfect fit to the missing puzzle piece.

the performance had finished and jaime grinned.

the bellas were called onstage and stepped into place. jaime blew the pitch pipe and with the count of four, aubrey started.

"seems like everybody's got a price, i wonder how they sleep at night. when the sale comes first and the truth comes second, just stop for a minute and smile~"

"everybody look to the left, everybody look to the right. can you feel that? yeah? we're paying with love tonight." chloe finished.

lilly sang and then you could hear cynthia-rose, "it's not about the money, money, money. we don't need your money, money, money. we just wanna make the world dance, forget about the price tag."

the song faded into one both jesse and jaime knew very well. "hey, hey, hey, hey. won't you come see about me?" looking in the audience, jaime smiled at jesse, "i'll be alone, dancing. you know it baby. tell me your troubles and doubts. giving me everything inside and out."

the bellas started to move into a line, "don't you forget about me."

the two made eye contact and jaime just smiled as she walked behind aubrey, "as you walk on by, will you call my name? as you walk on by, will you call my name?" as jaime continued to sing, jesse raised his hand. at the end of the verse, jaime did too.

the song kept being sung and everybody was having the time of their lives.

it closed and jaime, for the first time, hugged aubrey. they jumped before they walked off stage to where their seats were.

jaime made her way to her seat with happy upbeat music playing in her mind. the black haired girl inched to where her seat was and coincidentally, it was right behind jesse's.

"how was that for a song?" jaime smiled, jesse laughed.

"you really know how to sing."

jaime smiled. "your performance was so good. pretending to be instruments was genius! benji, you also did so fucking well!" benji thanked her.

"you know what?" jesse asked jaime.

she quirked her brows, "what?"

"i told you, endings are the best part." "shut up and kiss me, swanson." the two leant in and made the kiss special to them.

they made it more passionate by the second and when jaime pulled away, she leant in again.

"listen up aca-ballers. i have been rejected by the army, shoved into a dora the explorer backpack and pushed into the girls locker room wearing nothing but suspenders. but no matter, i am in the world that i love and with the assistance of my boy justin, i launch this years auditions."

with a drum roll, "the most recent ICCA national champion winners get to pick the audition song." everyone looked to the bellas and they whispered amongst themselves.

jaime smiled and cleared her throat. "alright kids, lets go with..."

finn speaks!!
i'm saying that in my mind, jaime chose locked out of heaven.
