"Excuse me. Hi." Beca felt a soft tug on the bottom of her jacket and turned around to see a little girl, no younger than seven years old, standing before her. "Are you Beca Mitchell?"

"I am. And what's your name, kiddo?" she grinned, leaning down to level with the child. (Although she didn't exactly have to kneel down too much due to her height.)

"My name's Chloe, just like your girlfriend."

"That's awesome," she smiled and turned to her fiancée, "Hey Chloe, I found another one of you."

The redhead turned away from the whack-a-mole game to see the DJ crouched in front of a little blonde girl. "What's that, baby?"

"Her name's Chloe too."

"Hi sweetie." she smiled, giving her full attention to the little girl.

"My mommy said your music is the best in the world because you put a lot of love into it, is that true?" she asked Beca who smiled instantly.

It was always a rush to hear that people loved her music, even after so many years of being in the music industry. She loved that people enjoyed listening to her music, and she loved to hear that people even use her music as an escape route. She remembers one time, at one of Jesse's premieres, a girl told her that she gets bullied at school and she told her that she used to self-harm, but now, instead of inflicting more pain upon herself, she would listen to Beca's work for hours on end. The brunette had tears in her eyes when the young girl told her that, and she was overwhelmed that her music had such a positive impact on people.

"I do put a lot of love into my music, that's right. Does your mommy let you listen to my music?"

"Yeah, she always listens to your albums in the car. She likes the song with Katy Perry the best but my favourite is you and Chloe singing Titanium."

"Yeah that's our favourite too." Beca smiled warmly up at Chloe who returned the smile instantly, eyes sparkling towards the little girl.

"Chloe?" a foreign voice said from beside the 3 girls and they all turned their heads to see a tall blonde haired woman, who looked like she'd just walked out of a magazine.

"Mom, look! I met DJ Beca!" the little girl yelled happily, running up to jump in the woman's arms.

"Oh my God. You're Beca Mitchell!"

"The one and only."

"Holy cow, I.. Oh jesus- what.. Hi!"

Beca and Chloe both laughed at the blonde, "It's nice to meet you, your daughter was just telling me about your music taste. I approve."

"Oh wow, she idolizes you so much! I mean, I do too. You're music is so great."

"Thank you."

"Mommy can I have a picture taken with Beca and Chloe?" Little Chloe asked her mother, slightly pouting her lip and giving her the best puppy dog eyes she could, and Beca laughed because the little girl was just like a mini-Chloe.

"I think you'll have to ask Beca and Chloe that, sweetie." her mom whispered as she placed her back on the floor.

The girl then turned to the couple who were grinning widely. "Can I please have a picture with you both, please?"

"Of course" Beca laughed, taking a step so she could pick the girl up, all while the blonde took out her phone to take the picture. Beca, Chloe and little Chloe all smiled brightly for the camera as the woman pressed the button, and soon after, they chatted for a while and then went their separate ways.
