After the girls had found Ali and they were trying to find A

Ali had said "Ezra followed us here because he wanted to win you back Aria does he have a chance?"

"I don't know Ali my heart tells me something I never expected…

I'm in love with you." Aria had said.

Present

Aria and Ali had barely said anything to each other after what Aria had told her and Spencer, Hanna, and Emily started to notice.

One day when they were altogether Spencer had asked "are you two ok you haven't been talking to each other since we came back?"
Ali quickly answered "Yah everything is fine" she knew Spencer wouldn't be satisfied but she knew she would save it for later.

Later that day Aria asked Ali to come to the Brew, when Ali walked in Aria had a smile on her face and said "hey Ali".

"Hey" said Ali

"We should talk about what happened" said Aria.

"You know what I always loved about you Aria is how you always go straight to the point and never hesitated when you want to let's not talk just yet about what happened alright" said Ali

"Sure" said Aria who was very confused "what should we talk about".

"Let's go do what we used to do before I disappeared" said Ali excited.

"Ok that sounds great" said Aria who was now even more confused.

They spent the day shopping and talking about everything but what Aria had said and as the evening was coming Ali took her to the beach where no one was there and you could see the sun set and hear the sound of the ocean

When they got there Aria asked "what are we doing here"

"We're here to talk about what you said back in New York" said Ali with a genuine smile.

Aria didn't know what to say so she waited for Ali to say something and Ali said "when I was hiding I thought about you girls everyday and I regretted the way I treated you guys everyday but every night I missed you Aria I missed the pink streak in your hair I missed the way you always smelled like strawberries damn I missed everything about and when you told me you loved me it didn't feel real it took me a long to take it in and now I'm going to tell you Aria I love you too."

AN: In this story Shauna isn't dead she was arrested in case you're wondering why Aria isn't upset.
