Auditions came up very quickly, and Aubrey was beyond excited. The main reason being that she was guaranteed to see Stacie Conrad again. Just thinking about the tall brunette made Aubrey melt. However, the auditions seemed to drag on, with no sign of the girl Aubrey was seeking. Sure the other girls were good, but she just wanted to see Stacie again. Just when Aubrey was about to lose all hope of seeing the girl again, the tall brunette strutted across the stage. She instantly perked up at the sight of the girl.

"Hi, my name is Stacie. My hobbies are cuticle care and the E! Network."

Stacie began singing and although she had a good voice, Aubrey was struggling to get past the fact that she kept groping herself while she sang. Despite this small detail, the blond quickly moved the girl's folder into the yes pile, earning a smirk from Chloe. The rest of the auditions
moved quickly and Aubrey just wanted to get initiation over with, so she could talk to Stacie at Hood Night. Just when Tommy announced that everyone had auditioned, none other than Beca Mitchell was caught peeking out from the right wing of the stage. Of course, Aubrey was not
overly pleased to see the short hobbit again. She wondered what Chloe had done to convince the alternative girl to come to auditions. Which then led the blond to wonder if she would have toapologize to the hobbit in the near future. Before there could be any protest, Chloe was waving the girl on-stage. Chloe was well aware that Aubrey didn't like Beca too much. Chloe also knew that Aubrey was definitely going to lecture her later for persuading the hobbit to audition. All that considered Chloe still went ahead and pushed Beca to audition. The ginger couldn't help it, she was in love with the tiny brunette. Justin then proceeded to give the Bella captains Beca's folder, which allowed Aubrey to finally put a name to the girl. Beca slowly made her way to center stage and awkwardly waved.

"I didn't know we had to prepare that song," she said somewhat nervously, recognizing the fact that Aubrey was glaring at her.

"Oh that's okay," Chloe said in her usual sweet mannered way with a huge smile on her face, "Sing anything you like."

Beca paused for a moment before reaching forward and asking Chloe if she could borrow the yellow cup sat on the table, to which the ginger simply nodded. Beca sat down on the stage and began creating a beat with the cup. When she started to sing, Chloe just sat looking at her in awe.
For Aubrey, however, she was shocked at how well the girl could sing, yet she didn't want the girl to know she was impressed. When Beca had finished and left the stage, Chloe immediately moved her folder into the yes pile and Aubrey made no effort to protest her friends decision. Although she didn't like the brunette, she knew Chloe had a crush on the girl and she wanted her best friend happy. Aubrey just hoped that Beca wouldn't be too much of a handful.

---------------------------------------

Initiation was kept short and the Hood Night party was upon them. Aubrey set the ground rules,
well the only real rule being that if any of the girls slept with the Trebles they were out of the group. Aubrey secretly hoped that Beca would slip up just so she would have a reason to kick her out of the group, but she didn't even interact with the trebles. She stayed by Chloe's side all night like her life depended on it. Yet as much as Aubrey was worried about what Beca was doing, she was hoping to make a move with Stacie that night, and finally get how she feels off her chest. The blond stayed sober the entire night, afraid that if she got drunk, she would say something she would regret to Stacie. The tall brunette, however, could barely walk in a straight line by the time the Hood Night party was over. So Aubrey being the good captain was, offered to walk Stacie back to her dorm, which was all the way across campus. The girls walked in silence until they reached the door to Stacie's dorm, when the brunette finally spoke.

"Thank you for walking me home," She slurred out, which made Aubrey smile.

"It's no problem, Stacie. There's no need to thank me, I'm just doing a nice thing for a friend."

Just then Stacie leaned over and kissed Aubrey. The kiss started out sweet, then became deeper and more passionate. When both girls pulled away due to the fact that they needed air, Stacie kept her forehead against Aubrey's.

"I think I love you," Stacie still slurred her words, but Aubrey thought it was cute nonetheless.

"I think I love you too," Aubrey told the girl, the smile on her face growing.

Stacie pulled Aubrey in for another peck upon her lips before finally going into her dorm room.After Stacie had left her in the hallway, Aubrey stood in the hallway for a moment to comprehend what had justtranspired. Stacie had just told her that she loved her. Stacie Conrad one of the hottest girls at Barden University, might be in love with her. She couldn't help but feel butterflies in her stomach as she recalled the first kiss that they shared. The happiness quickly faded though when negatives began to flood Aubrey's mind. What if she didn't remember the kiss? Or telling Aubrey she loved her? What if she only acted like she did because she was extremely drunk. Aubrey knew that focusing on the negatives would only make her doubt herself more, so she decided to head back to her apartment.

When Aubrey arrived home at her apartment she was greeted by Chloe, who lived in the apartment with her, cuddled up on the couch with Beca, who was sound asleep. Although
Aubrey really wanted to roll her eyes at what she was witnessing, she was still too giddy about what happened between her and Stacie not even a half-hour ago. Chloe noticed the stupid smirk on Aubrey's face and immediately commented on it.

"Did something happen between you and Stacie?" the ginger questioned, now with a smirk on her own face.

"She kissed me," Aubrey said, the smile growing on her face, "She told me she thinks she's in love with me."

Chloe didn't say another word but instead continued to smile back at her best friend. Aubrey was going to ask what Beca was doing at the apartment but decided to wait until the brunette was gone. The blond proceeded to her room and sat down at her desk. She pulled out a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote her next letter to Stacie:

Dear Stacie,

I have no words for what has transpired between us. Tonight you kissed me, and then you told me you loved me. It's given me so much hope for a future for us together. I know you were drunk, but I felt a spark tonight when you pulled me in and kissed me, maybe you did too. My love for you keeps growing every day, and every day you become more and more beautiful. I hope you know that I will always cherish that moment we shared in front of your dorm room. I am hopeful that one day we will be able to have moments just like this
every day.

XOXO,
Aubrey
