Senior Year

Treblemaker Party

Squeezing through a bush instead of using the gate, the Bellas arrived at the best tiki party of the year. Or at least that's what Jesse had already been telling people as they arrived. After wondering around the Treblemaker garden for a bit, the Bellas ran into Jesse and a couple of the guys.

"Hey!" Each person said in a strangely in-sync motion. "Have you seen Beca?" Chloe asked Jesse, taking a sip from her cup. She'd learnt at her first college party that taking your own cup was always a good idea. Unless, of course, you wanted to mix every alcoholic drink under the sun into a potent cocktail.

"No, I thought she was with you this evening," Jesse said slowly, looking around as if his girlfriend would suddenly pop out of the crowd and shout 'I'm here'.

"I thought she was with you," Chloe said. Both sighing at Beca's lack of punctuality, Chloe and Jesse returned to the party and started to dance. The music was loud, the people were happy and the pool had been decorated with assorted lilos.

Seeing a mysterious, oddly short, person head towards the tiki bar, Jesse pointed Benji in the direction of the new Bella and headed to meet up with the all-in-black figure.

"Hello stranger," he said, grinning a little at his exhausted girlfriend. "Tough day at work?"

Beca nodded and huffed. "It was certainly an eye opener."

"Why haven't you told Chloe?"

"Told her what? About the internship?"

Jesse nodded, his grin becoming more serious.

"Because her mind is focussed on the Bellas right now. If I told her, she'd freak out at me."

Giving a half smile, Jesse held out his hand. Beca took it and they headed to the poolside to where the main body of the party was taking place. As the Bellas came into view, Jesse excused himself to go and cheer Benji up; the poor guy had most likely failed another attempt to talk to the new Bella.

"Oh my gosh, hi!"

Beca was taken aback by the sudden appearance of a rather tall brunette. "Um hi?"

"I'm so excited to actually meet you," the girl said. "I'm Emily. I'm your sister. No, wait. I'm a Bella, the new Bella. Hi"

Somehow the various words from the girl's mouth formed to make a meaningful sentence. "Oh so you're the legacy Chloe texted me about?"

Emily nodded vigorously, hair flying all over the place.

"I didn't even realise that was a thing, sorry," Beca said, smiling as her eyes wondered to the side of Emily, a flash of red hair catching her attention. "Nice to meet you," she said. "Let's go party."

"Chloe!" Beca shouted, the redhead in the middle of dancing with Stacie and Flo.

Seeing her friend and co-leader had returned, Chloe bounded over and hugged the brunette tightly. "You're missing the party! Come on, let's dance!"
