"Hey Mike what's up?" Beca asks as she's walking around campus.
"I just got a call asking if maybe you'd preform at a charity event about thirty minutes from Barden, would you be interested?" Mike asked.
"Yeah totally but what charity?" She asked.
"It's for all sorts of things, childhood cancer, lgbtq+ support, there's more I just can't remember them" he told her.
"Yeah I'll totally do it, it's it okay if I preform the songs I've been recording though instead of my released songs?" She asked.
"Yeah That should be fine. I'll text you the details. It's tomorrow at two" he told her before hanging up.
Beca smiled as she continued her walk. She was excited to preform again, especially with the Bellas in the crowd because she's knows they'll definitely be there.
She arrived back home and smiled when she was greeted by her favorite redhead.
"Hey Bec" Chloe said excitedly.
"Hey Chlo, what's up?" She asked as she hung her jacket up.
"Oh nothing, just missed you" she said.
"Chlo I was gone for thirty minutes tops" Beca said rolling her eyes jokingly.
"Still, I just got you back the way I wanted, forgive me for wanting to be clingy" Chloe said following her into the kitchen.
"Don't worry, you being clingy is cute" Beca said with a smile.
"So how was your walk?" Chloe asked.
"Good, Mike called. I was invited to preform at a charity event, of course I accepted." Beca told her.
"That's great! When is it?" Chloe asked.
"Tomorrow at two, you and the Bellas coming?" Beca asked.
"Yep! Wouldn't miss it" Chloe smiled.
"Good, I better go run through my songs, I'm gonna do new ones" Beca said before leaving to head upstairs.
The next day rolled around and Beca couldn't be more excited. She woke up around nine and got ready. She left around 11:30 to head over for sound check and rehearsal.
Two o'clock rolled around and Beca was announced on stage. She laughed as she could hear the Bellas yelling for her. She ran out.
"What up everybody!" She yelled into the mic.
The crowd cheered in return.
"It's awesome to be here with you guys today. I'm gonna treat y'all with some unreleased songs instead okay?" She asked and was met with cheers.
"Okay, this first song I wrote after breaking up with my girlfriend of five years. It's called 'About you'" Beca said before stepping away for the mic.
Drinking my coffee, just ruined my day
Picturing us at that corner cafe
Ya, ya, ya ya, ya, ya, ya ya
Grabbing my keys, they feel heavy to me
'Cause you gave me back the one you don't need
Ya, ya, ya ya, ya, ya
I'm not tired, I'm not lonely
So why does my mind go back to when you used to hold me?
Time, yeah, it's been enough time
To get you out of my mind
But now I'm thinking, I'll never stop thinking about you
Yeah, I'm just wondering when I'll stop wondering about you
You got your hands on me, you got your hands on me
A thousand miles away, but you still got your hands on me
And I'm thinking, I'll never stop thinking about you
Chloe could feel tears welling up in her eyes as she listen to the lyrics. She could hear the pain in Beca's voice as she sang. Chloe smiled though, knowing that everything was okay between them now.

Going new places, meeting new faces
But your memory still isn't fading
Ya, ya, ya ya, ya, ya, ya ya
Maybe I still got some shit left to say
Maybe your ghost is stuck in my brain
Ya, ya, ya ya, ya, ya
I'm not tired, I'm not lonely
So why does my mind go back to when you used to hold me?
Time, yeah, it's been enough time
To get you out of my mind
But now I'm thinking, I'll never stop thinking about you
Yeah, I'm just wondering when I'll stop wondering about you
You got your hands on me, you got your hands on me
A thousand miles away, but you still got your hands on me
And I'm thinking, I'll never stop thinking about you
Now I'm just thinking about you, no, no
Now I'm just thinking, thinking about you, ooh
And I'm wondering, just wondering about you, ooh
You got your hands on me, you got your hands on me
A thousand miles away, but you still got your hands on me
And I'm thinking, I'll never stop thinking about you
As the song ended Beca smiled at the cheers she got.
"Thank you! This next song is called 'Worthy of You' I wrote this once I arrived back at Barden. I didn't feel worthy anymore. Especially worthy of that girl." Beca said.
I would take a bullet
And you wouldn't even notice
Til' the sirens come
And I will build a palace
But I know you'd probably rather just
A room for one
And I know
I never keep my promises
But you're the one I'm breaking them for
So what's the use in all this if
I'll never be worthy of you
I'm broken, and beat up, and bruised
I've proven all that I can prove
There's nothing that I won't do
But I'll never be worthy of you, yeah
Beca closed her eyes and lost herself in the music. This song hurt her because it portrayed everything she felt.
You could watch me drown
But I'd be 6 feet underground, before you realize
And I'd go clinically insane just to meet all your expectations
Yeah, I'd lose my mind
And I know, that I'm not always innocent
But every sin, I did it for you
So what's the use in all of this if
I'll never be worthy of you
I'm broken, and beat up, and bruised
I've proven all that I can prove
There's nothing that I won't do
But, I'll never be worthy of you
I've tried and I've tried
Pure sacrifice
So come with me
Fallin' and fallin'
Nowhere at all
What do you want from me? Yeah
I'm broken and beat up and bruised
I've proven all that I can prove
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
I'll never be worthy of you
I'm broken, and beat up, and bruised
I've proven all that I can prove
There's nothing that I won't do
But, I'll never be worthy of you
Worthy of you
I'll never be worthy of you
She reopened her eyes at the end and smiled at all the happy faces she saw in the crowd. She met Chloe's eyes and softly smiled at the girl.
"Alright let's change the pace shall we? This next song I wrote because I just needed to write it. It's about not being able to get that person out of your head. This is called 'If I Can't Have You" she finished.

I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
I'm in Toronto and I got this view
But I might as well be in a hotel room, yeah
It doesn't matter 'cause I'm so consumed
Spending all my nights reading texts from you
She'd close her eyes as she remembered all the nights she'd stay up reading all her old texts with Chloe.
Oh, I'm good at keeping my distance
Chloe laughed in the crowd as she heard that lyric knowing Beca's specialty was keep her distance from people.
I know that you're the feeling I'm missing
You know that I hate to admit it
But everything means nothing if I can't have you
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
I'm so sorry that my timing's off
But I can't move on if we're still gonna talk
Is it wrong for me to not want half?
I want all of you, all the strings attached
Oh, I'm good at keeping my distance
I know that you're the feeling I'm missing
You know that I hate to admit it
But everything means nothing if I can't have you
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
I'm trying to move on, forget you, but I hold on
Everything means nothing, everything means nothing, babe
I'm trying to move on, forget you, but I hold on
Everything means nothing if I can't have you, no
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you? (Can't have you)
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
Beca finished and smiled.
"Alright I've got two more songs for you guys. This next one is called 'There's nothing Holding Me Back" she said.
I wanna follow where she goes
I think about her and she knows it
I wanna let her take control
'Cause everytime that she gets close, yeah
She pulls me in enough to keep me guessing (Mmmm)
And maybe I should stop and start confessing, confessing, yeah
Beca began dancing the same choreography as her background dancers.
Oh, I've been shaking
I love it when you go crazy
You take all my inhibitions
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back
You take me places that tear up my reputation
Chloe laughs knowing that all Beca cared about back in high school was her badass reputation.
Manipulate my decisions
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back
There's nothing holdin' me back
There's nothing holdin' me back
She says that she's never afraid
Just picture everybody naked
She really doesn't like to wait
Not really into hesitation
Pulls me in enough to keep me guessing
And maybe I should stop and start confessing, confessing, yeah
Oh, I've been shaking
I love it when you go crazy
You take all my inhibitions
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back
You take me places that tear up my reputation
Manipulate my decisions
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back
There's nothing holdin' me back
'Cause if we lost our minds and we took it way too far
I know we'd be alright, I know we would be alright
If you were by my side and we stumbled in the dark
I know we'd be alright, I know we would be alright
'Cause if we lost our minds and we took it way too far
I know we'd be alright, I know we would be alright
If you were by my side and we stumbled in the dark
I know we'd be alright, we would be alright
Oh, I've been shaking
I love it when you go crazy
You take all my inhibitions
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back
You take me places that tear up my reputation
Manipulate my decisions
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back (Oh whoa)
There's nothing holdin' me back
I feel so free when you're with me, baby
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back
As Beca finished she smiled. Everyone seemed so into her songs and she loved it. Beca hoped off stage and walked over to Chloe before speaking.
"That song was written to officially ask you to be my girlfriend again, so would you?" Beca asked.
"Of course" Chloe said leaning over the rail and kissing Beca.
The crowd cheered, the Bellas being the loudest. The two girls pulled away smiling before Beca made her way back on stage.
"This last song is called 'Dandelions' hope you enjoy" she spoke.
Maybe it's the way you say my name
Maybe it's the way you play your game
But it's so good, I've never known anybody like you
But it's so good, I've never dreamed of nobody like you
And I've heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime
And I'm pretty sure that you are that love of mine
'Cause I'm in a field of dandelions
Wishing on every one that you'd be mine, mine
And I see forever in your eyes
I feel okay when I see you smile, smile
Wishing on dandelions all of the time
Praying to God that one day you'll be mine
Wishing on dandelions all of the time, all of the time
I think that you are the one for me
Cause it gets so hard to breathe
When you're looking at me
I've never felt so alive and free
When you're looking at me
I've never felt so happy
And I've heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime
And I'm pretty sure that you are that love of mine
Cause I'm in a field of dandelions
Wishing on every one that you'd be mine, mine
And I see forever in your eyes
I feel okay when I see you smile, smile
Wishing on dandelions all of the time
Praying to God that one day you'll be mine
Wishing on dandelions all of the time, all of the time
Dandelion into the wind you go
Won't you let my darling know?
Dandelion into the wind you go
Won't you let my darling know that
I'm in a field of dandelions
Wishing on every one that you'd be mine, mine
And I see forever in your eyes
I feel okay when I see you smile, smile
Wishing on dandelions all of the time
Praying to God that one day you'll be mine
Wishing on dandelions all of the time, all of the time
I'm in a field of dandelions
Wishing on every one that you'd be mine, mine
The crowd went wild as she finished. She smiled and waved.
"Thank you! Goodbye everyone!" She yelled before leaving the stage.
By the time she made it backstage she was met with the Bellas and Chloe.
"That was great Beca" Chloe said hugging the girl.
"I'm glad you liked it and that you said yes. That would've been embarrassing if not" Beca joked.
"I love you" Chloe said as she wrapped her arms around Beca's neck.
"I love you too. It's always been you Chlo" Beca whispered before kissing her.

Transposition
Please note: the Sexual Content tag is there due to a single brief plot-relevant scene, which has a warning at the beginning. For other details, read the full description below. Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 5 x 5*, 2 x 4.5*, 1 x 0.5* During a blackout, a frail and ragged old woman stops to ask for a glass of water from a backyard barbecue party. Given a good supper instead, she looks around the group, and tells them, "Be who and what you truly are." Days later, seven of the people from the barbecue find themselves drawn into a trap laid by a pair of wizards and their accomplices, who kidnap them into a bubble reality. All seven, who have known each other all their lives, are informed that they are not in fact entirely human: they have active fae blood, due to a series of conditions culminating with the blessing of the elderly fae woman. The transformation into fae form comes as a shock: all seven, whether originally female or male, find themselves now unreasonably beautiful women. More urgent even than that, though, is their captivity. Getting back to the real world is a higher priority than this metamorphosis that rapidly begins to feel natural... but this is only the first step, as the diverse types of fae blood they carry begin to surface. With no resources except themselves, how can they escape this prison? If they succeed, how can they possibly reclaim their lives? Just how many other faelings have been kidnapped, anyway, and what happened to them? And is there a way to make sure that their captors never put anyone else through this? Back in the real world, Kayla, who learned long ago to trust her gut instincts, is absolutely certain that something is very wrong. The pattern in the list of missing friends is easy to spot, but makes no sense at all. Then a young woman turns up at the backyard gate who knows more than she should, and even though her explanation makes even less sense, every instinct tells Kayla that Riley is her only way to get them back. If they're not quite what they were, well, that's a bridge to cross later... Just a little note: I'm a big believer in endings that are upbeat but not candy-coated, and not a fan of grim-and-gritty or of glamorized violence. These are adults in a difficult situation. However, no one gets raped, and the physical violence is, all things considered, fairly minimal. There is some harassment, sexual and otherwise, and also some mild restraint and mild verbal abuse. Complicating factors are generally wizardly or fae in nature. If I need to warn you about gender in this being all over the map, some of it reality-based rather than fantasy-based, highly diverse sexuality, or that there is (especially later) some indirect fetish/BDSM imagery and honest character discussion, then you probably should just avoid everything I write. :-) Also available on Scribble Hub.
