Some nights, the RA had a hangover and singing anything above the level of
wait'll you see my dick
was out of the question. On those nights, you sucked it up and turned to more obscure college entertainment, like drinking and party games.
"My turn?" Beca asked, before taking her obligatory shot. "Dare."
Aubrey smiled at her, always loving to turn the screws. "Say that Nicki Minaj's Anaconda is the song of the summer."
Beca wiped the whiskey off her lips. "I'm not doing that."
Sitting beside her in the crowded dorm room, Chloe gave her a pout-smile. "It's not a bad song, Bec."
"Yes, it is. It's repetitive and it does things to Sir Mix-A-Lot's seminal classic that the bar patrons in a Jodie Foster movie would cheer on. Guys, just because something has a feminist message doesn't mean it's good."
"Hence it being a dare," Aubrey said smugly.
"Yeah, I got that," Beca replied, equally snide. "Truth."
Aubrey smiled wickedly. "Who is the best sexual partner you've ever had?"
Cynthia-Rose whooped loudly. "Now we're getting somewhere!"
"That is not an appropriate question!" Beca hissed. "And you're only asking it because you think I'm going to say it's you."
Chloe patted her hand. "It's alright, Beca. You can say it's her if it's, you know, her. Just because we're girlfriends and we love each other and we brighten each other's worlds like the summer sun doesn't mean I'd mind if you said that a casual hook-up outside of our progressive, open relationship was better for you than me."
Beca slapped her forehead. "I hate alcohol."
"Guys, I think we all know who she's gonna say." Stacie winked at Becca.
"Shit!" Cynthia-Rose cried. "If I knew how much pussy you straight women got, I never would've gone gay."
Beca felt defensive. "I hadn't slept with Lilly either!"
"Not that you know of," Lilly said under her breath.
"I'm not like Magic Johnson or something," Becca insisted. "Jesse went gay too, and he's hooked up way more than I have! Why don't you ask him who the best lay is?"
Fat Amy huffed a laugh. "Because he slept with John Barrowman.
Obviously he's going to say John Barrowman."
"Looks like you're finally going to show your appreciation for the lyrical genius of Nicki Minaj." Aubrey had somehow gotten more smug.
Beca sneered at her. "You really wanna know the best sex I've ever had?"
"No, we wanna know what your thoughts are on peace in the Middle East," Cynthia-Rose said sarcastically.
"I say she's for it," Lilly added, not that anyone heard her.
"Alright. If you must know. The best fuck I ever had—probably the time Jennifer Morrison fucked me in the ass."
There was a level of silence that even the opening notes of a Beach Boys song would've disappeared into.
"You have anal sex?" Chloe asked finally.
"Oh yeah," Beca replied.

JENNIFER MORRISON TOOK MY ANAL VIRGINITY
***
Three years ago...
"Barden Bellas, my world champion National A Capella Champions!" Aubrey always drew herself up taller when she had an announcement to make. Beca kept reading her book on the founding of the NWA, trying hard to display the cover and still maintain a comfortable reading posture. "It is my privilege to announce that not only with Barden University be having the world-famous actress Jennifer Morrison here today to deliver our commencement speech, but, due to budget cutbacks and an unexpected turn-out for the nearby Republican Egyptologist Convention, she will in fact
be staying with us!"
"Question," Beca said, in the tone of voice she didn't use for questions. "Since
we're
currently staying with us, where exactly will she be staying? I for one already have a roommate."
"I was hoping you'd ask that!" Aubrey replied, in the tone of voice she used when she wasn't hoping Beca would be saying anything. "Since you and Chloe have been so blessed as to find a certain romance which Chloe assures me does not take time away from your practice or duties as world champion National A Capella Champions..."
"Why do you keep saying we're the world champions?"
"The American A Capella Champions are pretty much champions of the world," Stacie explained. "There's not much competition on an international level."
"You mean the rest of the world isn't into a capella?" Beca went back to her book. "Foreigners getting a little of my respect back after making Transformers 4 a hit."
"You didn't respect them after hearing Head Games?" Fat Amy asked.
"If we could focus?" Aubrey said. "Beca, frankly, you and Chloe have been going out for months and it's getting a little inappropriate that the two of you haven't moved in together yet
anyway.
"
"I'm like the wind," Beca said. "I can't be tied down. I've got to be free to ride motorcycles at night and play pool."
"Are you being sarcastic now? It's hard to tell, that seems like your normal speaking voice."
"Does it?"
"I still can't tell if you're being sarcastic."
"That's too bad."
"I still can't—"
"Should I even bother pointing out that you're, like, an afterschool program and you can't actually dictate to me that I should move in with my girlfriend?"
Everyone looked at Beca.
"That was pretty harsh," Cynthia-Rose said.

"We are going to be such good roommates," Chloe said, not having been present at the meeting so she could finish putting up the welcome banner for Jennifer Morrison. "Think about it, Bec. We're both girls and we're dating—we can wear each other's clothes!"
Beca stared at Chloe's cardigan. "Yeah. That was my first thought too."
She sat down on the bed as Chloe got on her laptop to do something with a PDF. Staring at Chloe's hair, she had to admit, at least the place had a good view.
"Guess what?" Chloe asked.
