Find the next 3 items in the sequence

Question

A sequence goes as follows:

A
AA
BA
ABAA
AAABBA
CABBAA
ACAABBBA
AAACBACBAA
CAACABAAACABBA
...

It's an altered version of a sequence you all know! The answer should be in the above format.

Additionally, will D ever appear?

It is very similar to: http://puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/2471/a-sequence-named-by-a-childrens-toy/2473 — Rafe, Oct 07 '14 at 21:06
And @ThePopMachine said why D will never appear, because "2222" will never occur. — generalcrispy, Oct 07 '14 at 21:09

If A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc...

ACBAACAAABCAACAABBAA
AAACABBAACCAABACBAACBABBBA
CAACAABBBABCBAABAAACABBAACABAACBAA

It's the same kind of sequence where the next item describes the item above it in [quantity of number][number] format.

EDIT: The requested number format.

13211311123113112211
11131221133112132113212221
3113112221232112111312211312113211
