Today's last night(staubrey love story)

Ch.15 Changes

The next week at rehearsal things were different. Everyone could tell, but no one really knew what had changed.

Maybe it was the fact that Aubrey and Beca only bickered twice and left it alone after that.

Or the fact that Aubrey made them run five laps instead of the usual million.

It was definitely the way Aubrey ran her hand down Stacie's arm and the way Beca actually let Chloe hold her hips and guide her when dancing.

Things were different, and the Bellas were ok with it.

"Alright! That's a wrap for today girls. You guys did great, have an awesome night!" with that Aubrey collected her stuff and walked out, leaving behind an auditorium of stunned women.

"Was she, s-smiling!?" Emily asked as her jaw hung open, "I think Cap finally got laid." Fat Amy said as she watched the vacant area Aubrey once stood in.

"What are you talking about? She's just being nice." Chloe waved the girls off, "oh, and what about you and Beca, huh!? You expect us to believe Beca was 'just being nice'?" CR asked pointedly. "What're you talking about, I was being normal?" Beca crossed her arms over her chest. "Sure you were. I mean, just you flinch whenever people touch you, now you melt into Chloe's touch." Emily pointed out and the others agreed.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Beca scoffed, "what about now," Amy put her hand on Beca's arm and Beca involuntarily moved away, "ok that's not fair! You snuck up on me!" Beca threw her hands up in exasperation, "yeah right. Somethings going on between the four of you." CR said, "four?" Chloe rose an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah, don't think you're getting out of this one Stacie." Emily looked at the taller brunette who had been unusually quiet, "huh?" she looked at the group and laughed nervously as she rubbed the back of her neck. "You and blondie looked awfully comfortable today." Amy said, "nope. We were pretty... uncomfy I'd say, right Bec?" Stacie looked to the shorter brunette with pleading eyes, "uh um, y-yeah? You guys didn't even talk, not that I noticed anyways." Beca stammered out, she hated being put on the spot.

"Sure guys, you keep trying to fool us." Emily encouraged, "what do you think is going on? Not that anything is!" she added, "well for one, I wouldn't put it past you to try and tame that beast, I mean not many would dare, but you, maybe." Amy started. "Secondly, Beca and Chloe, everyone can tell how much they want in each other's pants, it's practically written on their face," CR said.

Beca blushed and looked away, she would deny it, but there was no use, Chloe on the other hand winked at her friends with a smile.

"So you guys just think that we're all hooking up?" Chloe asked, "maybe, who knows? We just know somethings going on." Emily told the redhead.

The next day at rehearsal things were the same, Aubrey being nice, Beca letting Chloe touch her, Chloe touching Beca, and Stacie giving Aubrey the googly eyes.

"Ok girls, this weekend is Regionals, we have to be ready and on our A-game. Let's do the routine one more time, and then I want everyone to go home and rest for this weekend." Aubrey told the group, "Bree, this weekend is in four days." Chloe pointed out, "you're right...we should leave without the extra practice, goodnight girls." Aubrey waved the girls goodbye.

"No! I mean, we should at least practice for the next two days, we can't take a full week off." Chloe said, stopping the girls from leaving, "as much as it pains me to say this, I think Chloe's right, we should-ew-practice more. Good what is happening to me?" Beca grimaced. "Well if you want to, I won't hold you. Let's run it again ladies!" Aubrey clapped her hands together and started the music.

After the last run through the girls were finally dismissed and Chloe went up to Aubrey.

"Hey Bree, can we talk for a sec?" she asked her friend, "sure, what's up?" Aubrey turned to her after she finished packing up her things. "Well, I couldn't help but notice you've been a lot, and I mean a lot, nicer recently. And that's great and all, but I think it's affecting your captaining." Chloe said slowly, "what do you mean, I feel like I'm doing fine." Aubrey frowned, "yeah, no, you are! It's great and all, but, you're not being as hard on the girls and, to quote you, 'could lead to them slacking off', again you're doing great, but where's that rigor you're so famously known for?" Chloe said.

"Well, I just, I've changed." Aubrey shrugged, "does this have anything to do with a certain leggy brunette?" Chloe wiggled her eyebrows, "I don't know what you're referring to." Aubrey looked away with a blush, "ha! So it does. Tell me, what happened between you two." Chloe looked at her friend expectantly.

"Fine! Yes, something happened, we hung out, that's it. No kissing, no hand-holding, just two friends on a nice outing together." Aubrey said, "and this 'outing', has you all smiley and bouncing around?" Chloe said as if she didn't buy it, which to be fair, she didn't.

"I am not, bouncing around." Aubrey chuckled, "oh really? Just this morning you were dancing in the kitchen as you sang along to, running on Sunshine. And if I'm correct that song literally says, "God knows you just made my day since you came around." Seems to match your situation pretty nicely." Chloe eyed the blonde.

"Ok fine, maybe I've been acting a little different, but can't a girl be happy? Everyone said I needed to get that stick outta my ass." Aubrey said, "nobody's saying you can't be happy, I'm glad you've loosened up. I just also want to make sure it doesn't affect your captain duties, otherwise, you carry on with, running on sunshine." Chloe laughed, "you just couldn't help yourself, could you?" Aubrey tried to hold in her smile but failed miserably, "I really couldn't." Chloe smiled brightly.
