Chloe's first year as a senior was a special one. After Aubrey's vomit incident at the ICCAs the previous year, the Bellas were struggling to find new members. They had hit the lowest of the low and Aubrey was beginning to lose hope at redeeming herself.

"We need to find super hot girls with bikini ready bodies who can harmonize in perfect pitch!" Aubrey whined.

"I think that's a bit too much to ask." Chloe sighed. "Maybe we should focus on getting good singers."

Fat Amy approached the table and smiled. "I'm the best singer in Tasmania." She said. "With teeth."

"Huh." Chloe said and looked at her best friend, who was not impressed. "Can you match pitch?"

"Try me!" Amy said.

To Aubrey and Chloe's surprise, Amy turned out to be a good singer.

"See you at auditions, Fat Amy." Aubrey said, handing Amy a flier. Aubrey was not happy.

Hours went by and the two best friends were getting frustrated. Out of the corner of her eye, Chloe spotted her. It was the brunette from her dream.

"What about her?" Chloe pointed out, trying not to sound too excited.

"She looks a bit too alternative." Aubrey sighed.

"Hi!" Chloe greeted the brunette. "Would you have any interest in joining our a cappella group?"

"Oh right this is a thing now." The brunette said with a smirk. "Sorry, but I don't sing."

Yes you do! Chloe thought to herself. Did she have the wrong girl again? No. This had to be her.

"I told you." Aubrey elbowed Chloe as the brunette walked away.

"That's her." Chloe said.

"What?" Aubrey asked.

"She's the girl from my dream." Chloe said.

"I thought you said the girl in your dream could sing." Aubrey pointed out. "She said she doesn't sing."

"I think she's lying." Chloe said.

"Don't go crazy, Chlo." Aubrey begged. "Maybe she's just too shy to sing in front of other people."

"I have to go." Chloe said and went up to her dorm room.

Later that night, Chloe was showering with Tom, her boyfriend. After breaking up with Zoey, she thought that maybe the dream wasn't that important and maybe she was into guys. She and Tom were enjoying themselves when someone else walked in. Chloe heard quiet humming that grew into a gorgeous singing voice. The voice sounded familiar, terrifyingly familiar.

"I'll be right back." Chloe whispered to Tom as she crept out of her stall and down to the one housing the beautiful voice.

Chloe opened the curtain and saw the brunette from her dream standing there, naked, and singing.

"You can sing!" Chloe yelled.

"Oh my God!" The brunette yelled and tried to pull the shower curtain closed.

"What's your name?" Chloe asked.

"What?"

"Your name?" Chloe repeated. "Mine's Chloe."

"Uh Beca." Beca said. "Can you leave me alone? I just want to shower."

"No can do, Beca." Chloe said. "I had a dream about you when I was six years old."

"You're crazy, please leave." Beca said.

"Please believe me." Chloe said. "I have spent all of my life looking for you."

Beca stared into Chloe's icy blue eyes and saw she meant no harm. Before she knew it, Chloe's lips were on her own and Chloe's arms were pushing her up against the wall. Chloe briefly pulled away and looked Beca in the eye.

"Wow." Chloe sighed.

"You're weird." Beca said. "I like you."

Chloe's dream had come true. After everything she went through, she met the love of her life. She and Beca dated all through college and then for two more years until Beca proposed. Of course, Chloe said yes and they got married. Their two children grew up to be a doctor and lawyer and have four kids of their own.
