"Alright, ladies, focus up! We need to beat those stupid Germans," Chloe announced as she and her fellow Bellas were in the auditorium in their sports gear ready to train.

"Okay, so we're going to beat DSM at their own game - just do what they do, only better," Beca spoke.

"And we're going to do a full-scale assessment to blow out our choreography to match," Chloe added.

"BUT, the important thing is that we have fun, right?" Emily chuckled.

"Legacy, don't take this the wrong way, but you're the dumbest person alive." Fat Amy told the girl who's smile suddenly dropped.

"Okay, let's go!" Chloe clapped her hands and the Bellas got to work. "You're going to work on the music aren't you, Becs?"

"Going to do it now, Chlo." Beca grabbed her laptop bag beside her and walked over to the piano to set everything up.

"Awes," Chloe turned to the Bellas and began coaching them through their routine.

Beca set up her laptop and music equipment and began working on their set and she couldn't help but get distracted by her girlfriend who was looking smoking hot in pink sports leggings and a grey tank top with her hair in a messy bun. The brunette found herself ogling the woman when she danced. Beca was always a sucker for watching Chloe dance, especially to slow and sensual songs, which made the brunette's heart skip a beat.

"Again!" Chloe called out once the Bellas did their routine for the fifth time.

"Chloe, can we move onto the next part?" Fat Amy begged, puffing her lungs out.

"No, we need to get it perfect. Let's go! Now!"

"Just a quick break! Please?" Cynthia Rose asked.

"Argh, fine! Two minutes!"

The group made the most of their short break while Beca was taking a break of her own and mindlessly scrolling through social media to quickly unwind and clear her head.

"Hey!" Chloe spoke, snapping Beca's gaze to hers.

"What?"

"What are you doing? You're supposed to be working on our music!" She said, frustrated.

"I am, I'm just taking a break. You know how hard this stuff can be."

"We can't afford to slack off here, Beca. We need to be on our A-game if we want to beat DSM!"

"I'm not slacking off, Chlo. I'm just taking a break."

"Through the whole thing? I've been watching you and you've been on and off your phone this whole time. Do you not care?"

"Come on, babe, give me a break here." Beca sighed.

"No, Beca! We need to be on top of this! We need our music ASAP so we can actually nail down our choreography."

"I'm right on top of it, I swear."

"You better be. We're counting on you." Chloe turned around to the Bellas who were relishing in their break. "Come on, ladies! Let's go! Break time's over!"

The day had ended and all of the Bellas were exhausted after Chloe pushed them to their max during rehearsals. Beca was still unable to produce their set of songs, which Chloe was most unhappy about.

"Left, move right, turn, and out!" Chloe was in her and Beca's bedroom practicing their choreography. "That doesn't seem right for some reason..."

Beca was too engrossed in her college work to pay attention to Chloe. The brunette didn't have much time to actually do her assignments since she was more preoccupied with the Bellas and her internship. She was tired, to say the least, but she was happy. She couldn't wait until she graduated so she could get on with her life and her dream of being a famous and successful music producer.

"What do you think to this move, Becs?" Chloe asked Beca who was sitting on their bed but the brunette wasn't paying attention. "Becs? Beca!"

"Huh? What?" Beca looked up at Chloe.

"This," Chloe performed her dance move for her girlfriend. "How'd that look?"

"Yeah, great," Beca returned her gaze to her computer screen.

"You weren't even paying attention!"

"I was, I'm just a little busy at the moment."

"With what?"

"School work. If I want to remain a Bella I have to do my work..." Beca thought it was obvious but Chloe didn't care when she shut Beca's laptop. "Hey!"

"Becs, I know you're busy but you really need to focus on our set."

"Babe, come on, I'm trying my best to juggle everything. The least you could do is just give me some leeway, and the girls, too."

"What do you mean?"

"You've worn them out."

"They needed to get their routine right and focus. We won't be able to beat DSM if they're not focused."

"We'll do our best and it's okay if we don't win."

Chloe sat back in horror.

"Okay? No, it's not okay! How can you say that!"

"It's not always about winning, Chlo! If it was just about winning then we'd all be miserable. It's about having fun and enjoying the little time we have left here at Barden. We've already won three championships so we've had a good run."

"This isn't the end, Beca. We need to win the Worlds, not just for us, but for future Bellas. I'd be dead before I see the Bellas not exist anymore all because of Fat Amy's accident."

Beca sighed and rubbed her face.

"I'll work on our set tomorrow, okay? I just need to get this assignment done."

"Okay, thank you." Chloe kissed Beca's cheek then hopped off the bed and continued to practice her dancing.

It was going to be a long few weeks for Beca and the Bellas.
