Hey readers… This is sort of an AU. It takes place after 3x16.
The contest would have been back in season One. Caleb would not have been at the school yet and A was just starting to stalk them.
Toby is not evil but he is A. Caleb, Paige, Toby, Lucas, and Jason have banned together forming a sort of Anti-A team and Toby is a spy for them.
Chapter One:
Contest Winners
Spencer walked into her English class; it had only been a few days since she found out Toby was with A. She didn't even want to think about it. She took her seat next to Caleb, she hadn't told anyone but Emily about the break up. Yet somehow Caleb knew; she had known Toby, Caleb and Paige had banded together some time ago to keep Mona away from them. But she wonders if they were really helping Mona.
Before the class began they heard a crackling over the loud speaker. Vice Principal Hackett voice rang and began to read the morning announcements. Spencer ignored the thinking about Toby, she didn't know how she could still love him after this… but she did. Spencer a thought maybe Toby was like Aria was with Fitz and his son: he wanted to tell her, but he never had the guts to, because he was scared of her reaction.
"The last announcement is more of a congratulation. Last year the Pennsylvania School Districts had a contest for 13 lucky students from all across the State at excelled in the PSSA's, PSAT's, and SAT's to spend half of senior year in Europe," Vice Principal Hackett explained.
The whole room fell silent, Spencer looked around to see students with their fingers cross and some even praying.
"I am proud to announcement at not only one student from Rosewood High School was chosen but two and … drum roll please," said Vice Principal Hackett his voice laced with amusement. Spencer heard want she guessed was supposed to be the drum roll but said like him banging on his desk.
"Spencer Hastings and Caleb Rivers!"
The class erupted into cheers, while Caleb and Spencer stare at each other shocked.
Through the next few classes she thought about the trip and if she should go. She deserved this more than anyone else. Her entire life she had to live up to her parents' expectations. She had to deal with her losing her boyfriend to Mona. This trip was her way out and she was taking it.
At lunch she and Caleb had gotten they packages with instructions about the trip from Vice Principal Hackett and made their way to the girls. Caleb was sort of happy that this gave him a reason to sit with Hanna at Lunch.
Aria and Emily were grinning happily at the two
"I can't believe two of our friends won," Emily squealed. "Well I knew Spencer would she's the smartest person at this school."
"I can't believe you never told me you entered this," Hanna glared at Caleb.
"I entered before I met you," Caleb said sadly. "It was my way out. But if you don't want me to go I'll stay here."
"Ditto," Spencer said. "I don't want to leave you unprotected… any of you."
"No way Spencer," Aria said. "You deserve this. After all of this you have taken the most a vacation is what you need."
"Or and A-cation," Hanna smirked. "Aria's right. If any of us need to get of Rosewood it's you." "Yeah, Spencer you need to go. I mean with the Toby thing," Emily said then covered her mouth.
"What Toby thing?" Aria asked worried, "Are you guys fighting?"
Spencer sighed, "No… Toby…and I… we broke up."
"Oh my gosh why," Hanna said shocked placing a comforting hand on her back.
"A…," Spencer said mournfully. "If I do leave promise me you won't look for him. Shim threaten to… kill him."
Aria and Hanna nodded quick before the looking over at Emily.
"Swear Emily," Spencer said.
"I swear."
"On our friendship."
"Yes! I Emily Fields, swear on my friendship with Spencer Hastings that I will not look for Toby Cavanaugh." Emily smiled crossing her heart. "So are you gonna go?"
"Sure, if Caleb goes with me," Spencer said giving both Hanna and Caleb her puppy dog eyes.
"Why," Hanna pouted.
"You don't what me to have drunken rebound sex with a hot French guy with abs that aren't nearly as hot as Toby's because I didn't have a friend there to stop me," said Spencer pouting back.
Hanna sighed in defeat, "Fine, But we need to had a lot of Haleb time before you leave."
Caleb chuckled and nodded.
After School Caleb promise Hanna they would spend some time together later but there was somewhere he needs to be. Paige got into his car a block away from the school and drove to a Motel just outside of Rosewood. Caleb and Paige walked in to Room 43B, on the floor doing push-ups was Toby Cavanaugh and on the bed sat Lucas. Lucas had been working with Paige, Caleb, and Toby since before Toby tried to run him down. They had warned him that Mona wanted him gone.
"He's been at this a day," Lucas said closing the laptop.
"What are you guy's doing here," Toby said standing up. "I still haven't got a new mission."
"Spencer's going to Europe for the rest of the year," Paige said trying to get emotion out of her friend.
"Good for her," Toby said in an emotionless tone. Caleb sighed and pulled out his phone and plays the conversation they had earlier.
'No… Toby…and I… we broke up.'
Toby froze at the sound of Spencer's voice. He missed it so much. He could hear the hurt and pain, which made him feel worst because he put it there.
'Oh my gosh why?'
That was Hanna he could hear the shock.
'A…,'
Hear it comes, Toby thought she was going to out him and they're all were going to hate him.
'If I do leave, promise me you look for him. Shim threaten to… kill him.'
"Why hasn't she ratted me out, yet? I deserve it," Toby says, his voice pained.
"Because… she loves you," Caleb said. "I'm going with her to Europe. You better protect Hanna with your life and I'll protect Spencer with mine."
"I need you to give her something," Toby murmured pulling out a box from under the bed. "Ask her when you're on the plane if she loves me if she say yes give it to her but if she says no send it back to me."
"Now take a shower," Lucas said throw him a towel. "You stink."
Toby shook his head, but then he notice the recording was still playing and Spencer at started talking again.
"You don't what me to have drunken rebound sex with a hot French guy with abs that aren't nearly as hot as Toby's."
Toby grinned before walking into the bathroom.
"Well, it's nice to see him back to normal," Paige chuckled. "Where's Jason?"
"He left," Lucas chuckled. "He said Toby smelt like desperation and it made him want to drink."
The week went by quickly for Caleb and Spencer. Caleb had spent the whole week with Hanna not leaving her side. Spencer spent it with Emily and Aria, sometimes Jason also.
But now Spencer Hastings was sitting in the back of her mother's jeep with her best friends and her brother on her way to the Philadelphia Airport which was we all the other winners were going to meet.
Spencer's head was resting on the window. The sun was shining right in her face and she liked it. She finally felt free walking into the Airport.
The met up with the other students and the chaperones. Spencer noticed all the couples hugging and kissing. Hanna and Caleb where in a deep make-out when she turned around.
"Spencer, we are going to miss you so much," Aria said wrapping her arms around Spencer. Emily nodded, "I don't know what we'll to without you."
Spencer said goodbye to her mom and Jason. Before walking over to join the group of students but before she reached them Hanna threw herself into Spencer's arms.
"I'm going to miss you so much," Hanna whisper into her ear. Spencer hugged not wanting to let go.
"I'll miss you too," Spencer said pulling away. "Bye guys… See you in June."
Spencer turned away this time Caleb at her side. It made her feel better he was with her. If she had to do this alone she would undoubtedly have ended up throwing herself of the plane.
"Hello," one of the chaperones smiled. "My name is Mr. Williams what are your names?"
"Spencer Hastings."
"Caleb Rivers."
"Yes, S. Hastings and C. Rivers," the man smiled handing them both their tickets. "We just need to take roll."
"Andrews, Trinity."
A girl with glowing brown skin, long black hair that was pulled back into a ponytail, and milk chocolate eyes raise her hand.
"Argota , Haden."
Another girl raised her hand. She had flaw tan skin and long curly hair that fell to her waist.
"Edwards, Heather."
Yet again another girl raised her hand. She was deep into a book but she murmured here. She had dark brown hair with light brown highlights and blue eyes.
"Hander, Sam."
The first boy call stood had and bowed. Sam was shorter than most of the guys, with a mop of mess dark brown her and bright blue eyes.
"Hasting, Spencer."
Spencer sighed raising her hand.
"Holden, Derek."
Derek hummed having one ear bud his ear. Derek looked a little like Chris Brown is his early days with his shaved head and warm brown eyes.
"Kinglesy, Beatrice."
Beatrice was the farthest thing from want most people would thing a girl named Beatrice would look like. She had light brown skin, warm brown eyes, a heart-shaped face, full big lips and brown hair.
"Moser, Kevin."
Kevin had dark brown hair, brown eyes, pale skin, and a stocky build.
"Rendell, Tyler"
Tyler was tall most likely the tallest guy they, with olive green eyes and strawberry blonde hair.
"Rivers, Caleb."
Caleb raised his hand.
"Taylor, Ericka."
Ericka was short, with a heart shaped face complimented by her piercing baby blue eyes, and glossy blonde hair.
"Ten, Sophia."
Sophia was the smallest person there; she had dark hair and eyes.
"Wu, Justin"
Justin was the same height as Tyler with hair as black as an oil slick, brown eyes, and poor complexion.
"Okay that's 13," Mr. Williams smiled. "I'm your chaperone Mr. Williams and this is Ms. McKesson."
Spencer and Caleb spaced out as they were lead thought the airport. They heard the call to board their flight. The all boarded the plane, Spencer and Caleb seats where together. Caleb let her have the window seat.
"Relax," Caleb said noticing Spencer shaking and shivering.
"I can't. I'm leaving the girls there defenseless," Spencer said her thought on Toby. "I should have told them the truth."
Caleb took her by the shoulders, "Spencer, calm. down."
""I can't! Toby's the only one who can calm me and…" Spencer looked down. "He can't anymore."
"You still love him," Caleb stated more than asked.
"Yes, but I shouldn't…"
Caleb pulled out a beautifully wrapped box and had it to her without saying a word.
"What's this?"
"Open it."
Spencer sighed carefully removing the wrapping paper placing it to the side. Spencer opened the box, on a few pieces of tissue paper laid a note she sucked in a harsh breath noticing the handwriting was Toby's. The note read;
To my dearest Spencer,
I wrote this because I probably won't see you tonight. In this box lays three things I want you to hold close to your heart. Because there with be a time when you doubt if my love was real and that you'll feel alone. What we have is real, raw, and true.
Reading those first few lines made tears fall from Spencer's eyes as she realized this was the anniversary gift she had never gotten. She wanted to believe those words with all of her heart.
Spencer Hastings, my smart, strong, and fiercely independent girl. I am given you my heart.
I need you to take out the little black box
Spencer paused and took out small black box that was under the tissue paper. She gently opened the box with a shaky hand; she gasped pulling out an antique locket. In the locket held one a picture of herself and Toby and the other side was a picture of Toby and his mother.
That was my mom's. Before she died, ages ago…She gave it to me. She made me promise that when I met the girl that I loved more than I had loved anything that I would give this to her. This is the reminder to you that I will always love you even in our darkest hour.
Now take out the Ipod.
Spencer s sighed and pulled out the IPod out. It was brand new baby blue IPod nano, she took notice to the special engraving the words glyceraldehyde and goofball connected at the G and underneath laid the words; Forever Your Goofball.
He remembered even the finest details of their relationship. She felt the spark of hope turn into a fire in her soul. Her heart was beating a million times fast and she thought maybe, just maybe, what they had was real.
When I first became friends with Emily I made her a mix tape with song that I thought represented her. For you I made a playlists' of songs, the Spencer Playlist for songs that represented you, the Spencer Toby Playlist with songs that represented of relationship. And the Heart Playlist filled with songs that represented the things I wish I could say to you.
The last thing is a book of sketches of you. I drew them every day we weren't together, every day I was losing myself you kept me sane.
Forever Yours,
Toby
Spencer looked at the locket. He had given her something at belonged to the most important person in his life. Spencer remembered the way Toby talked about her the love he showed for the woman that given life to him. She quickly dried her tears and placed the locket around her neck.
Toby Cavanaugh was an idiot of that she was sure. She threw a sideways glance towards Caleb.
"I want answers," Spencer finally spoke. "Know you knew Toby was A. I want to how long, why, and where he is. This is a seven hour plane ride and I will make it hell for you."
Caleb smirked "Ask away."
