Anna Kendrick : Beca
Guy Burnet : Theo
New York
10:00AM
At a well lit studio, Theo and Beca are watching the Bella's performance at Barden University two years ago.
Beca:
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Aubrey:
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
Cynthia Rose:
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
BELLAS:
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Emily:
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Fat Amy:
Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
Flo:
And it's been two years I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe
Lilly:
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
BELLAS:
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Stacie:
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Jessica & Ashley:
A lot of fight left in me
Chloe:
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
Jessica & Ashley
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
BELLAS:
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Emily:
Know I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Both their attentions were focused on the Bellas' performance that they completely missed the incessant ring of a mobile phone nearby.

Anna Camp : Aubrey
Mykonos, Greece
Aubrey was just handing a bathed newborn baby to its mother when her phone rang.
After giving the couple a thumbs up, she quickly went outside the room, reached inside her pocket to pick up her mobile phone and without looking at the screen, answered the call.
Aubrey:
Aubrey, your friendly doula. How may I help you?
Someone spoke on the other line and a big smile formed in Aubrey's lips.
-------------
Rebel Wilson : Fat Amy
Cayman Islands
A black limousine pulled over in front of a bank and the driver, clad in a perfectly ironed gray uniform stepped out of the driver's seat carrying an umbrella.
He opened it and positioned himself at the bank's door as Fat Amy came out with two bodyguards behind her.
Fat Amy:
Rodrigo! I told you I won't be long. Can't you wait five minutes without having to drive that limo around?
Just as she was about to enter the limo, her bodyguard handed her a ringing phone.
Fat Amy smiled when she saw the name registered on her phone.
Fat Amy:
Hey!! Hello!!
But when the caller said something, her smile disappeared and her eyes opened wide.
Fat Amy:
What? Nooo. What were you thinking?
-------------
In other areas not very far away, the rest of the Bellas are receiving the calls.
-------------
Hailee Steinfeld : Emily
Katey Sagal : Katherine Junk
Emily was strumming her guitar when her mom bursted through her bedroom door.
Emily:
Oh my gosh, Mom! Why such entrance? You're gonna give me a heart attack!
Mrs. Junk:
You're fine dear. I just couldn't help but overhear how well you have put up those chords. I feel like singiiiiiiinnnngg!!
To prove her point, Mrs. Junk started humming to the tune of "Moon River" but Emily cut her off.
Emily:
Oh please, Mom! Not today. I need to finish this demo so I can send them over to Beca.
Mrs. Junk:
Beca? As in Beca Mitchell? You didn't tell me you're working on something with her.
Emily:
It actually just came up. But please mom, I really need to finish this.
Just then Emily's phone rang. She gave her mother an exasperated look.
Mrs. Junk:
Okay. I'll go. But the cookies are waiting downstairs if you want them.
As Mrs. Junk shut the door behind her, Emily picked up the call.
-------------
Alexis Knapp : Stacie Conrad
Stacie was talking to her daughter, Bella, on face time. Her precious two year old had just left yesterday with her parents for a three-day adventure in Disney Land.
Stacie:
Mommy misses you baby.
Bella:
Mishoo Mimi.
Stacie:
Have fun out there, okay?
Bella:
Bella hav'fun!! Yipee! I wuv Mickey!
Stacie:
Oh! Just the first day and you already love Mickey!
Stacie's mom suddenly appeared behind Bella.
Mrs. Conrad:
She adores him!! Took us a while before we finally convinced her to check out other things.
Upon hearing this, Bella pushed the phone away and went to hug her new toys, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.
Stacie:
Well, that's a goodbye, I guess.
Mrs. Conrad:
We're headed out for brunch in a while. I still wish you had come with us.
Stacie:
I wish so too, if only dad hadn't booked your tickets on the same day as my art exhibit.
A lean man about the age of 60 appeared on screen carrying Bella.
Mr. Conrad:
I'm sorry sweetie. We can bring home some Mickey pies for you if you want?
Stacie:
Thanks, dad.
I really have to go guys. Have fun out there. Kiss Bella for me!
Stacie was just about to put her phone inside her bag when it started ringing again. Thinking it was her mom, she picked it up.

Ester Dean : Cynthia Rose
At a naval base somewhere, a clean cut Cynthia Rose in an army uniform was making her way to a waiting chopper with her backpack in hand.
Her army commander was waiting for her at the foot of the chopper. Cynthia Rose came up to him and they both gave each other crisp salutes.
Finally, her commander's eyes softened and he gave Cynthia a smile.
Com. Braxton:
So this is how it's gonna be huh, Rose? Brought down hundreds of fugitives in Syria with that jet of yours, saved thousands of lives by navigating attention to a little random sky show...
Cynthia Rose:
Jeez man, are we gonna go over everything I did to save ya faces?
Commander Braxton laughed.
Com. Braxton
Not if you stop calling me "man."
This time it was Cynthia Rose's turn to laugh.
Cynthia Rose:
Only if you stop callin' me "Rose."
Com. Braxton:
It's a deal then.
The army commander offered his hand and Cynthia Rose shook it, actually feeling sad, for the first time, to leave her friends and her noble job as an army jet pilot.
Com. Braxton:
Seriously though, Lieutenant. I know you've already heard this at the awarding ceremony yesterday, but I'd like to personally thank you for everything you did to save that mission in Syria.
Cynthia Rose:
You're welcome, Sir.
Com. Braxton:
And if you decide to come back, you're always welcome in the army.
With a last salute, Cynthia Rose got in the chopper and before she could even put on her headpiece, she felt her phone vibrating in her pocket.

Hana Mae Lee : Lilly aka Esther
D.J. Looney : DJ Dragon Nutz
Inside a dilapidated building, Lilly is among a group of teenage boys and girls practicing a little beatboxing.
Lilly:
That's right, Max! Now try the vibrato.
Kate, you're doing the whistle too much. Close your mouth a little bit.
Great work there, Nick! Keep going.
As Lilly was giving instructions, her boyfriend, DJ Dragon went behind her and kissed her left shoulder.
Lilly:
Hey, babe. I didn't hear you coming.
DJ Dragon:
What do you expect? You got a room packed with beatboxers. Seriously babe, why do you bring them here? You've got a big studio waiting to be occupied down fifth street.
Lilly:
I'm saving that for later when they proceed with intermediate level. As beginners, I want them to feel the vibe of beatboxing. It really belongs in places like this building, you know. And oh, you should hear those echoes. Hmmmm..
DJ Dragon:
I'd rather hear you do those "hmmmss."
Lilly:
You definitely will. So did you come all the way here to see me?
DJ Dragon:
Of course! But also, you left your phone at the studio and it won't stop ringing.
As if on cue, Lilly's phone started ringing again and she quickly snatched it from DJ Dragon's hands.

Chrissie Fit : Flo
Inside a busy kitchen of a juice bar, Flo was shouting orders to her workers.
Flo:
Alex, for the fifth time, I told you to put in the orange first and then you mix the lemon.
Alex:
Won't that be the same if I do it the other way around?
Flo:
No! Please stick to the procedure. And James you don't mix the mint leaves with the juice! You just lay them on top of it. Oh! Why can't Americans work efficiently? In my country, they behead people who don't obey their masters.
A tall blonde woman entered the kitchen just as a worried looking James went to the sink to get more glasses.
Flo:
What is it, Charlotte? I told you not to disturb me in the kitchen unless it's very important or deadly.
Charlotte:
Sorry, ma'am but your phone kept ringing and the words "Mi familia" kept appearing on screen. So I took the liberty of googling it and it meant "My family" so I thought it must be important.
Flo rolled her eyes and muttered "Americans" under her breath as she took the phone from her assistant.

Kelley Jakle : Jessica
Shelley Regner: Ashley
Somewhere unknown where people don't really care about what anyone is up to, Jessica and Ashley also received some calls.
-------------
Back at the New York studio, Theo and Beca have just finished watching the Bellas performance.
Theo grabbed the remote control and shut down the TV. He was rubbing his chin and he looked at Beca intently.
Theo:
So this was your last performance together?
Beca:
Yes, it is.
Theo:
I thought it was at the USO tour.
Beca:
Oh. That one was too publicized. This is more of like an intimate one. It was Emily's graduation and we decided to perform for the last time as a gift for her. I mean it's just right that we also perform at Barden University for the last time since technically everything started there.
Theo:
And Emily wrote that song?
Beca:
Yes! It's good right? She's a really good song writer. You would love her!
Theo:
Yeah, she is.
Beca:
Okay, I can feel there's a "but" coming. C'mon just say it.
Theo:
But.. I feel that her song belongs to the Bellas.
Beca:
What do you mean?
Theo:
What I mean is if we sign her to do songs for us, why not sign the Bellas to sing those songs?
Beca's face was a mix of emotions. She looked like she was about to smile but then her eyes grew big with surprise until it settled to a confused look with her brows furrowed.
Beca:
What?
Theo:
What? I'm serious. Beca, you guys are good at what you do.
Beca:
I mean, I know that dude. But we haven't seen each other in two years! Well, except for Emily of course. But the others.. Fat Amy's in Cayman Islands..
Theo:
But you speak on face time almost everyday.
Beca:
That's true. But it's not as if we can do a face time studio recording. Theo, I'm sorry. It's impossible. These girls all have their own lives now. They're successful and they're doing great. I don't think they would want to drop all of that to sign a recording contract.
Theo:
Beca, would you at least try?
Beca looked at Theo with uncertainty. She didn't know what to say. Just then, the loud ringing of her phone broke the silence.
She grabbed it from the table, looked at the screen to see who the caller was and signaled to Theo that she needed to take the call.
Once she was outside the studio, she answered it.
Beca:
Hello?
Brittany Snow : Chloe
Chloe:
Oh thank goodness! I thought you've been hit by a flying microphone or a piano.
Beca:
Wow! Hello to you too.
Chloe:
Seriously! Why weren't you picking up?
Beca:
Oh. I was in the middle of an important meeting. Why? What's up?
Chloe:
I'm getting married!!!
TO BE CONTINUED..
[**Hello, pitches!! That's just the start of the adventures the Bellas are about to have! Can all of them make it to Chloe's wedding? And will Beca be able to convince them to sign a recording contract? Find out on the next chapter..**]
PS: I will be updating WEEKLY. So please stay tuned. I'm sorry if that's too slow for some of you but I want to give you a good story guys. Quality over quantity, ok? :)
-- The casts are as they are. Some characters might be added in the story but I chose not to assign actors/ actresses for their parts. Leaving that to your imagination. *winks*
I LOVE YOU, AWESOME NERDS!!
