A/N: HI! This just like popped into my head, and I thought, why not? I ship Ariel sooooo much and I might be doing more stories with them :) this is just a maybe 3k word story about Aria, Ezra, and Noel. BTW this story does not ship Ezria at all. No offense to my darling Ezria fans, but if you are one, you might not want to read this. Ezra is a bit ooc and evil. Thank youuuu!

"Oh, this has gotta be the good life.." Aria hummed under her breath. And really, it was quite the good life.

All of her friends were made up, and the foursome was closer than ever.

Ezra and her were off to a new start, after all of the pain and lies and secrecy, and Aria was more in love with him than ever.

And, Ezra promised he'd sneak into the latest Kahn party so they could make out in one of the back bedrooms.

She bounded up the sidewalk to Noel's house. His parents were out of town, as usual, and despite her dislike of the boy, he did throw amazing parties. She marched into the house, weaving around people, hoping to surprise her boyfriend. Loud music pounded the house, it reeked of alcohol, and Aria was sure there were people in every room.

Yup. Definitely a Kahn party.

"Aria!" Spencer screeched, tugging her outside. "Hey!" Aria greeted her friend with a small grin. "Where's Ezra?" A strange look crossed Spencer's face. "Your 26 year old ex-teacher boyfriend is coming to a high school party?" Aria shrugged. "He's sneaking in the back." Spencer snorted. "Oh, that makes it all okay."

Aria shrugged. "Yep. Hey, I'm going to find Ezra, see you soon?" she asked, without waiting for an answer before scattering off.

Spencer sighed. Aria used to be her absolute best friend, but lately Aria couldn't even talk to her about the weather without bring up their ex- English teacher.

Aria kept walking. Ezra had said he'd be somewhere in the back. She yanked open the door to somewhere- a laundry room, it turned out, god there were so many rooms in this house- only to find Paige and Sean in quite the compromising position. Ew.

Next door reveals a home movie theater- movie theater!- but Jenna and Garrett aren't really paying attention to the movie. Again, ew.

The next room is some sort of parlor thing. It's very formal, which is why Aria is resisting the urge to burst out laughing at what's happening on top of one of the pristine white couches. The boy calls out, "Ceceeee!" causing Aria to freeze. Not because she's surprised that Cece would be hooking up with someone at a high school party, but because of the voice. She knows it because she's heard that same husky voice call out, "Ariaaaa!" countless times. Of course, the same voice has also told her to turn her feminism essay in, and to grab coffee and bagels, and basically, this voice has been the only one she's been listening to for quite a while.

The blonde on the couch fumbled, sitting up. "Mhmm, I've got to go now.. yes, I'll call you. I need your name first!" Cece chuckled. The male voice spoke up. "Ezra, Ezra Fitz. Thanks. I've got to go find my girlfriend though, so.."

Cece laughed. "I thought we were the only people over-18 here!"

Ezra (for it was definitely Ezra, there was no possible denying to be done) smirked. "We are." He got up and walked towards the open door.

"Hello, Ezra." Aria said coldly.
