The Legacy (Emily Junk x Fem! Reader)

5: The Retreat

"I think the retreat is a good idea"
Emily's mom tells her as they have lunch.

"I dunno. The girls are yelling at each other"

"That doesn't matter. I put Maggie Pistol in a chokehold because she said George Michael was gay"

"I'm just scared that my whole Bella career will be that one performance. What if I never get to solo at Lincoln Center?"
Emily confesses to her mom.

"But you're gonna go to Europe and that would've been the highlight of my college career"
Her mom replies.

"You made being a Bella sound so amazing"
Emily says as she looks down.

"It is amazing. These are sisters that are gonna support you for the rest of your life. I know you don't feel it yet, but you will"
Emily nods.

"So, whose the girl?"
Emily blushes at her moms question.

"What girl?"
She stutters out.

"Oh please, I know when my daughter's got a crush. Tell me about her"
Emily clears her throat before replying.

"Her name's Y/n Mitchell. She's.. amazing. She's so much shorter than me I think I could fit her in my pocket and she says she doesn't like music that much but when Taylor Swift comes on, she dances like there's no one in the room. She always makes me feel better even when I don't think anyone can. She's.. my flashlight"
Emily confesses, smiling the whole time.

"Maybe you should ask her out"
Her mom tells her as she smiles back.

"I can't do that!"

"Why not? She doesn't seem like she'll judge you for it"

"I don't want to make her uncomfortable. Her sister told me she likes me too but.."
Emily trails off.

"If her sister said that, it must be true. Just try and if she says no, you can move on"
Her mom tells her as they stand up and leave the restaurant.

"Okay, everyone in the bus!"
Chloe exclaims as everyone is loading up their luggage.

"Why are you wearing a hat?"
Y/n asked Emily, sitting next to her.

"Oh, it went with my outfit"
Emily replies as Y/n takes the hat off her head, putting it in her own.

"How do I look?"
She asked the taller girl as she giggles.

"You look like a hat thief"
Emily replies, jokingly.

"You look cute, like a little Robin Hood or Indiana jones.."
She trails off, rambling before she is cut off by Y/n leaning her head on her shoulder, falling asleep.
Beca looks over at the younger girls and smiles.

"Oh, Em, she drools in her sleep by the way"
Emily blushes and nods.

When they get to their destination, Emily nudges Y/n a bit to wake her up.
She lifts her head and blushes when she realises what happened.

"I'm sorry!"
She exclaims.

"It's okay, I really didn't mind"
Emily replies, trying to calm the shorter girl down.

"This place is nice"
Emily says as all the Bellas get off the bus.

"How do you know about this place?"
Beca asked Chloe.

"From yours truly"
A voice beside her asked. The Bellas turn to see Aubrey standing there.

"Aubrey!"
They exclaim, running towards the blonde.

"Welcome to the Lodge at Fallen Leaves, where Fortune 500 send employees to build teamwork skills"

"Do you run this whole place?"
Beca asked, shocked.

"I realised I had a knack for ordering people around so I made it my career"

"Now.. fall in line, Bellas!"
She yells, shocking the Bellas.

"It is with sorrow and regret that I had to watch our once proud organisation become a national disgrace"
She says, walking to the line of girls.

"The worlds is a shot at redemption an you don't have a change at winning until you find your sound. You've lost your harmony! For the next two days, you will do everything together to get it back. Get ready to be transformed"

"I'm gonna start with a shower"
Fat Amy speaks up.

"Fat Amy, you don't get guest rooms"
Aubrey replies.

"Where are we staying?"
Y/n asked, confused.

That night, the Bellas are stuck together in a tent.

"Does anyone have some toilet paper?"
Fat Amy asked as she sticks her head in a tent.

"Guess I need to use the side of the tent"
She says when she doesn't get a reply.

"Up and at 'em! Let's go!"
Aubrey yells the next morning.
Emily wakes to the warmth of another person against her and notices Y/n's head on her chest and their arms around each other.
She blushes and unwraps her arms from around the other girl before leaving the tent.
Y/n is the last to get up and doesn't know what happened.

"We are going back to the basics to learn how to sing together and we will also endure death-defying team-building trust exercises"

When they were doing the exercises, Emily was doing her best to avoid Y/n.

"Why are we singing songs that would never go on our set?"
Beca asks, annoyed.

"Beca, come on"
Chloe replies.

"None of us know how to beat DSM, but it's definitely not by doing this"

"We're doing harmony exercises, Beca. We need to break things down before you can build it up"
Aubrey replies.

"I have more important things to do!"
Beca yells, annoyed at the girls.

"Like what?!"
Chloe asks in a confused tone.

"Nothing. It doesn't matter"
Beca replies.

"You don't think we haven't realised you've been more busy lately?!"

"Beca, you should tell her"
Y/n whispers to her sister.

"Tell me what?!"
Beca sighs before replying.

"I've been interning at a recording studio and a music producer wants to hear my work"

"Why would you keep that from us?"

"Because you're all obsessed! We're graduating and the only person thinking about what they'll do after the Bellas is me"

"Why can't we be focused on the Bellas first?"
Chloe exclaims.

"You're too scared to leave!"

"So you've been lying to us all year and now you're flaking out?"

"You know what, I'm out"
Beca walks away before stepping in a grab and getting caught in a net.

I hope you enjoyed this and look forward to the next one!
