Inspired by this prompt on tumblr (from imagineyourotp):
Imagine your OTP and/or their other friends directly referring to the relationship by its ship-name/fanon-nickname/portmanteu-couple-name, or making references or puns about the ship-name.
Combined with a prompt that wanted Aubrey, Chloe and Beca graduated and working apart from each other and missing each other badly and planning a vacation and other stuff…this is what came out.
"Dude, why so hyper?" Beca scowled, rubbing her temples.
Between the three of them living in different cities and her own working hours, Beca always ended up Skyping with her girlfriends at the most absurd hours.
"I'm talking to you," Chloe beamed into the webcam. "No better way to start the day."
Beca smiled tiredly. "I'm happy to see you too. My dreams are surely gonna be sweet."
"Aww," Chloe cooed.
"Please, don't worry about me." Aubrey joined the conversation.
"Oh, Bree, you know we love you too!"
"Yeah, what she said." Beca nodded.
"You always know how to make a girl feel loved," Aubrey commented sarcastically. "Anyway, did you look at the file I sent you?"
The day before Chloe and Beca had sent Aubrey their schedules for the following months to coordinate them so that each girl would know what the others were doing and could plan accordingly.
"Not yet."
"Of course not," Aubrey teased Beca.
"Uh! Wait a sec!" Chloe exclaimed, before two pings announced a received file.
"Uhm…Chlo?" Beca tilted her head reading the screen. "What is TT time?"
"We all have the same week free…well, more or less. With some adjustments we could take off some time…maybe go on a vacation…" Chloe suggested. "Or just spend some time together. It has been too long…"
"Six weeks and five days," Aubrey specified.
"Okay, but TT?" Beca insisted.
"Oh," Chloe smiled. "It stands for Triple Treble."
"Bree?" the DJ called for Aubrey's help.
"No idea." The blonde shook her head, looking as confused as her brunette girlfriend.
"It's our name." Chloe huffed at her girls' slowness. "Like a portmanteau."
"We have a name?" "Why Treble?" Beca and Aubrey asked at the same time.
"Well, Triple because we are three."
"Obviously," Beca drawled.
"But why Treble?" Aubrey insisted.
"I can't believe you're still hung up on that." Beca groaned. Aubrey's initial dislike for the Treblemakers had only increased with Jesse's obvious and persistent crush on the DJ.
"I don't know." Chloe shrugged. "It was better than Bechaubrey. It was too similar to Chaubrey anyway, they would have gotten confused."
"Chaubrey?"
"They? Who?"
"Me and you, Bree," Chloe answered the blonde. "And the Bellas, they called us that."
"Wait, like…shipping names?" Beca wondered. "Like Brangelina?"
"Exactly!" Chloe bounced in her chair, excited that finally they seemed to understand. "You and me are Bechloe."
"What about me and Bree?"
"Mitchsen."
"Why the surnames?" Aubrey frowned.
"Don't know…maybe because your initial relationship wasn't so good…and I totally can see you guys as the couple who call each other by surnames, trying to be aloof and distant and professional, and annoying each other on purpose…oh, no, wait, that's actually true!"
