Pitch Perfect [ST & IT cast AU]

Chapter 8: "It's not a dude."

A/N: Sorry about that last chapter. I don't know why I'm apologizing exactly but I just feel the need to. Anyway, here are the auditions. Things might get a little confusing when they're singing. Bare with me.

"For your auditions, each of you will be singing 16 bars of Kelly Clarkson's Since You've Been Gone," explained Logan. He was in charge of the auditions. "If a group likes you, they'll contact you directly. My tone-deaf side kick Jake here, will be taking your information."

Jake walked on to the stage. "If I could sing a lick, in any human way possible, I would! But I can't! And I hate myself everyday because of it!" He wiped the corners of his eyes with his finger and walked off the stage.

"I know, I know," Logan responded sympathetically then clapped his hands together to get the attention of the people waiting in the house (the house is where the audience sits if you don't know theatre). "But if you think this is just some high school club where you can sing and dance your way through any big social issue, or confused sexuality," he said, gesturing to his groin, "you have come to the wrong place! There is none of that here. That's high school. This shit is real life! Now, don't just bring it, sing it, and let's do this!" Logan marched off the stage.

Jake passed out the paper profiles of each auditionee to the head of each group.

Millie went to collect a stack and sat back down next to Sadie.

"Hey Bellas," Jack called out from his place with the rest of the trebles in the back row. "Remember when you tried to play in the big leagues and you choked? That should really be a lesson to everyone. If you sing the same, boring, girly shit each year, you will blow chunks. All over the place." The rest of the trebles chuckled. "Vomit. Everywhere."

This was enough to make Millie lose her cool. She threw the papers down on the table in front of her and stood up to face the direction of her enemies.

"My fellow aca-people," she started off calmly. "We will not let egotistical, big-headed, garbage dirt balls," Jack raised his hand, self-proclaiming the term, "whoever you may be, get in our way. I promise you, we will return to the ICCAs and finish what we started last year."

Logan cleared his throat as he walked onstage, a person with a hat covering most of their face following behind.

"And here's the first one up," he announced. "Good luck." He exited the stage, leaving the person to audition.

"Whenever you're ready dude," Jaeden shouted from the house.

The person scoffed and removed their hat to reveal choppy red hair, blue eyes, pink lips and long eyelashes.

"Yeah, hi my name is Sophia Lillis," she announced.

"Oh. Not a dude," Jaeden corrected. "It's not a dude."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They blew through auditions faster than they thought they would. Most people were pretty bad. Like, really bad. Sophia ended up being pretty good, though. She was more of a beat boxer than a singer.

Fat Amy showed up like she had promised. Of course, the first thing out of her mouth was, "Oh, there's no back up dancers? Okay..." But she kind of rocked it.

Gaten ended up auditioning. He was good. Sweaty, but good. "Performing gives me such a rush!" He claimed afterwards.

Finn auditioned as well. Needless to say he was awesome. He couldn't hit some of the high notes, but the trebles still seemed very interested.

There was this quiet girl that auditioned who, with a little training from the Bellas, could be pretty good. It was hard to hear her say her name, but Millie insists that it was Lilia. (It was too quiet and quick for anyone to hear, but when she introduced herself she had said, "Hello, my name is Lilia Buckingham and I was born with gills like a fish.")

There was also this other girl, Iris Apatow. And although she was really pretty, her singing was...not so pretty. But she had some potential. "Hi, my name is Iris and my hobbies include cuticle care and E-Network," she had said.

Of course there were many, many more. Most were bad, some were okay. Each group had people they were considering.

"Okay, that is everybody," Logan confirmed after everyone who was on the sign up sheet had auditioned. "Really not impressed this year, guys."

Most people began to pack up, but Sadie noticed a face peak out from behind the curtain.

"Oh, wait!" She shouted. "There's one more!

Millie looked at her, confused. Logan and Jake shrugged and exited the stage.

"Hi!" Sadie greeted as y/n slowly waked onto the stage.

"Hello..." She responded. "Um, I didn't know we had to prepare that song."

"That's okay," Sadie reassured while Millie shook her head. "Sing anything you want."

Y/n sat down on the stage, right in front of where the Bellas' table was positioned.

"May I?" She asked, gesturing to the cup full of pens and pencils that sat on the table. Sadie nodded, slightly confused.

Y/n smiled at the look of annoyance on Millie's face as she grabbed the cup and dumped all of its contents out on the table.

She placed the cup face down in front of her.

Backstage, Finn was about to leave. But as he was walking by the curtain entrance he saw y/n onstage and decided to watch.

"Um..." she mumbled before starting a clapping pattern involving the cup. (Idk how to describe this but I shouldn't have to cuz if y'all don't know the cup song I stg)

"I got my ticket for the long way round..."
Y/n sang, keeping on beat with the cup.

"Two bottles of whiskey for the way..."

"And I sure would like some sweet company and I'm leaving tomorrow what do you say..."

"When I'm gone...
When I'm gone...
You're gonna miss me when I'm 
gone..."

"You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me every where oh
You're sure gonna miss me when I'm gone..."

Y/n slammed the cup down on the stage as she finished. She pursed her lips as Sadie smiled and nodded at her.

Millie, however, was regarding her with somewhat distaste. But even Millie couldn't deny it: Y/n was really good, and they needed someone like her to complete the Bellas. Of course, she would never admit that.

"Wow," Finn whispered to himself backstage.

A/N: Welp, I tried. I can't decide who I want to be Lily and who I want to be Stacy. Right now I have Lilia as Lily and Iris as Stacy but I might switch it later on idk.
