A Pitch Lost in Time

1. Swimming With The Fishes

"Okay relax, everything is fine. I'll do some digging around, I know Beca changed her number when she lost her phone about a year ago. I'll get in contact with Chloe just stay where you are." Says Benji hanging up the phone leaving Emma standing in front of Casa Bella.

It had been about 2 hours since she was pushed forward in time. She had no idea why it didn't work. They had done everything right, her mother confessed, they ended up together. Did they break up? She asked herself wondering if maybe that was the reason she was still in the past. As she sat at the front of the steps of the house a black Chevy Cruze pulls up. Crap. She had no where to hide now that she was in plain sight. The door to the car opened and she was surprised to see Katherine Junk. With a smile on her face she walked up to Emma.

"Oh Emily I haven't seen you since the girls graduated. Are you visiting family?"

Standing up Emma dusted herself and fixed her shirt. "Well yes... I ummm. I was around and decided to see how The Bellas were doing."

"Well not too well, in fact I might need your help, follow me." Says Mrs. Junk going into the house.

Following her in Emma could see the house had not changed aside from having a few more pictures on the walls. As she headed up the stairs she stopped to look at The Bellas graduation picture, she had taken. Following Mrs. Junk to what used to be Ashley's and Jessica's room, she could not make out anything since all the girls where surrounding the bed. Finally making her way to the front.

"Emily meet Emily, she is Beca's cousin. She spent a whole year at this school before she had to move."

"Pleasure to meet you Emily, umm so what did you need me for Mrs. Junk?"

"Emily is sick, she lost her voice. Doctor said that with rest it will come back in a couple of days, thing is they have a performance at the aquarium tomorrow. If you could fill in for her that would be amazing."

"I... me? I don't know their choreography or what song they'll perform. I would love to but..." before Emma could finish Mrs. Junk interrupts her.

"Please it will be only one performance, we had invited the girls to come see it."

"You invited Beca and the whole group?"

"Yes. Please help. As one fellow Bella to another, we need your help."

This was her chance, if she helped them she could meet Beca at the aquarium and talk to her. She had to take the opportunity.

"Uh yeah sure, would it be possible if I stay here tonight. You know to make it easier for all of us to leave together tomorrow."

"Yes great idea, I'll set up the living room for you. " said Mrs. Junk as she left to get pillows and blankets for Emma.

Emma turned to look at the girls who had been staring at her like if she was on display at a Museum. "So when do we start rehearsal?" She said with a smile.

[At Beca's and Amy's apartment]

As she ruffled through some papers Beca slid her headphone down to her neck. No having noticed that Amy had sat next to her on the bed while she texted on her phone. Taking a deep breath she sat back and pulled her laptop toward her.

"Still working on that thing for the pimps." Asked Amy.

"Huh? Who are you talking about?"

"Pimp-Lo, you know that tiny guy who thinks he can rap? Honestly I knew a lady in Tasmania who could rap better than him and she had no teeth."

Rolling her eyes Beca couldn't help but smile, "yeah, trying to make his single a bit more, how can I say it."

"Not suck, is what you're looking for. Hey didn't Chloe say she was gonna be over at around 7 tonight?"
