After reading so many fanfics where characters are forced to watch their shows, I have been inspired to start my own. Admittedly I will say upfront that I will try my best to keep an update schedule.

~~~~~~~~~~SRSRSR~~~~~~~~~
Aria, Emily, Spencer, and Hannah were in Spencer's room discussing A when suddenly a bright light showed up. After the light has spread to cover the floor, the girls finally noticed the light.
"Guys. What's that light? Spence is this something of yours?" asks Hannah.
Spencer shakes her head and gets off her bed. "No. I don't know what this is from. Do you think that it is from A?"
As she finished talking, the light enveloped them and knocked them out.
Aria POV
I woke up on the floor surrounded by the rest of the girls. I also saw our families, Ezra, Caleb, Toby, and Paige. There was one person who I didn't recognize though. They were wearing a red coat with the hood up and a mask covering the top half of their face. I couldn't see what color hair they had but felt like it was a female.
"Aria, guys? You okay?" Spencer asked.
"Yeah. My head just hurts. What happened?" Emily holds her head and her mom comes over to check her head. Our families come over to check on us and each other.
"Why are we here? Were we kidnapped?" Caleb starts to walk around the room that I haven't looked at yet.
We are in a movie theater-like room with snacks and drinks on a table at the side. There are 3 rows of chairs facing a screen with a message on it.
"There is a message on the screen." Mrs. Hastings said.
Greetings everyone. My name is Sierra. I am hoping that by doing this, I will be able to change potential problems. You are all here to watch the secrets of Rosewood's very own group of liars. There will be many secrets revealed that others would love to keep hidden. There is no way out and you must watch these videos. Take a seat next to whoever you want and enjoy the show. Bathrooms are in the back. Ladies to the left. Men to the right. If you need anything, just say my name. Also, no fighting!
What?! This can't be real. All of our secrets are going to be revealed? This ruins everything.
"Guys! What do we do? We can't let them watch these. Who knows what it will show? What if A is here?" Emily starts to freak out as the four of us stand in a corner.
"So, what do we do? Should we watch these? How do we know that these are even real?"
"We can't watch these. This is an invasion of our privacy! We have to get out of here." Hannah starts trying to find a way out. The rest of us start helping.
After searching for a while, we give up on looking for an exit. Even the bathroom's don't have an exit except back to the theater.
"What if I try something? What if I call this Sierra person? Could that work?" Toby says.
"I guess that could work," Spencer says.
"Sierra? Um. Could you come here or something?"
We look around hoping to see someone come into the room. A door opens up behind the screen and out comes a 20-year-old female with brown hair. She was wearing a t-shirt with sweats and drinking a soda.
"Hey. What's up? I'm Sierra." She says.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this? Where are we? Let us out." Hannah starts advancing towards her and our parents are coming to block us.
"Afraid I can't let you go. Didn't you read you the message? I'm hoping this changes things that will happen. As for where are you? You are in my house, in Texas. You won't be able to leave even if I left the door open. It's protected so only those that have access can leave. None of you do. Sorry. Now, we have wasted enough time standing around. Sit down and enjoy the show." She starts to walk back to the door. "Oh, Vivian? Don't be afraid to sit near others. No fighting is allowed. Bye."
The door closes and the screen lights up. I sit down with Spence, Hannah, and Emily. Our parents are behind us and the others in the final row.
"Can I just say that I'm not excited for this at all?"
[Spencer's Barn]
The girls are in the barn drinking and having fun. The light and the music turned off.
"When was this?" My mom asks with her arms crossed.
"This was the night Alison disappeared." We say frowning.
"Oh. You girls should not be drinking." Hannah's mom says.
"Mom. Drinking is the least of our problems. Trust us. We should be drinking to deal with everything." Hannah replies.
Emily: What happened?
Spencer: It must be the storm.
A squeak blares
Aria: Something's out there.
The door of the barn opens
Hannah: Guys.
The girls get up and look scared towards the door. They come closer, a glass noise blares, they shout but still came closer. Ali comes into sight.
"I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I miss Ali doing that," Emily says.
"Me too," Hannah replies
Ali: Gotcha
Girls: Aah!
Spencer: That's so not funny, Alison!
Alison: I thought it was hilarious, girls.
They all laugh and settle down on sofas.
Hannah: Ali, did you download the new Beyonce video?
Alison: Not yet.
Emily: I'm loving her new video.
Alison: Maybe a little too much, Em.
"Emily. Did Alison know about you being gay? It sounds like she was teasing you." Mrs. Fields asks.
"Mom. She knew, but I don't think she was teasing me." Emily replies and looks down at her hands. "At least, I hope she wasn't."
Ali gives a glass to Aria.
Alison: Your turn. Go on.
Aria starts to drink
Spencer: Careful, Aria. Take too much, and you'll tell us all your secrets.
Alison: Friends share secrets. That's what keeps us close. Drink up.
"Did Alison even tell us any secrets? Or did we just tell her ours?" Spencer asks us. I think about the answer.
"As far as I know. She was usually there when something happened. I told her a couple things but never received anything back. What about you guys?" Emily asks us.
"Same here," I say and Spencer and Hannah nod.
"Doesn't sound fair now does it, girls?" Toby says.
"Wait, so let me get this straight? Alison is your guys' friend who doesn't tell you guys secrets but knows all of your secrets. And you guys still defend her?" Paige says.
"We never thought of it like that. We just went along with it for most things." Hannah says. "Besides, Paige, you don't know what it was like for us. So don't start judging us." Hannah gets up and grabs some popcorn and a soda. "I'm going to stress eat through this whole thing."
Aria wakes up in the barn, Emily and Hannah are still sleeping but Spencer and Ali are missing. Aria wakes the girls.
Aria: Em.
Hannah: Where's Ali and Spencer?
Aria: We don't know
Aria gets up and goes to the door, Spencer arrives at this moment.
Aria: Ali?
Spencer: She's gone
Aria: What do you mean she's gone?
Spencer: I've looked everywhere for her. I think I heard her scream.
"Spencer? Did you actually her scream? Why didn't you say anything?" Toby asks.
Spencer shrugs and looks at the floor. "I started to doubt myself and made myself believe it was my imagination."
An image of a newspaper of rosewood appears with a photo of Ali and in main headlines "still missing"
[Aria's House] 1 year later
Aria looks in the mirror.
Ella: Aria, are you okay?
Aria: It's weird to be home.
"This is the day we moved back home," Mike says.
"Mike, you okay? You've been quiet this whole time." Dad asks.
"Yeah. Just fine." He replies.
Ella: We were gone a year. When you're 16, that's a long time.
Aria: I think of her every day
Ella: Why don't you call your friends? They don't know we're back from dad's sabbatical. Aria: On the news, they're calling it The anniversary of Alison's disappearance, Like it's a party or something.
Ella: Why don't you give them a call? You five were inseparable, and those feelings don't just go away.
Mike rides up in the corridor
Mike: I need a ride to lacrosse!
"The first day back and you want to do lacrosse? No catching up with friends or anything?" Caleb says.
Aria: I'll take him.
The first floor is filled with packed boxes. Mike searches in boxes, we perceive Byron at the bottom
Byron: Got lacrosse today?
Mike: It's first tryouts, and all my stuff's in about a hundred boxes.
Ella and Aria arrive
Ella: A hundred?
Mike: You know what I mean.
Ella: Come on, let's go look in the garage. Come on.
Ella and Mike leave in the garage, Byron approaches Aria.
"Mom. I just want to say that I am sorry for keeping it from you for so long." I say as I remember this part.
"It's okay, honey. I don't blame you. It's not your fault that you wanted to save our marriage." She responds.
Byron: Listen, I know coming back here brings up a lot of memories. You okay?
Aria: Dad, I'm still keeping your secret, okay?
Byron: I mean, are you okay with Alison?
Mike and Ella come back, Aria and mike go out of the house and Ella embraces Byron.
Ella: And they're running off to practice. We are officially home.
[Aria and Mike are in the car in front of the High School]
Mike get out of the car
Aria: Hey, what time am I picking you up?
Mike: Uh, six.
Aria: Okay, I'm gonna grab some food.
"Why didn't you contact us? We could've hung out." Emily says and looks towards me.
I shrugged. "Didn't think of that."
[Pub]
We perceive Aria at the counter of a bar, next to her a man reads a book.
"Tell me you didn't drink any alcohol." My mom says with her head in her hand.
Aria: Can I get a cheeseburger, please?
Barman: You got it.
Aria sees a wanted notice for Alison.
"Isn't that you, Ezra?" Mom asks.
I pale and start to shake. I whisper, "Guys. My parents are going to flip. This is when Ezra and I meet and you know. What should I do?"
Hannah hands me her popcorn and just says, "Enjoy this while it lasts. I bet that you sleeping with him will be the least of all of our problems."
"Thanks, Hannah. What do I do without you?" I take the popcorn and just start to sink into my seat.
Man: You all right down there?
Aria: I'm a bit jet lagged. I just got back from Europe.
Man: Where in Europe?
Aria: Iceland.
Man: I spent some time in Reykjavik before I went to Amsterdam. It's a great city.
Aria: So, do you go to Hollis?
Man: Just graduated. I'm gonna start my first teaching job.
Aria: I... I think I'd like to teach. God, I love this song
Man: B26. What's your major?
Aria: Uh, well, I'm leaning toward English.
Man: That's what I'm teaching.
Aria: Well, and I write too, but... So far, it's mostly personal. Just for me.
Man: I'm impressed.
Aria: Why?
Man: Well, I tried writing. I didn't get very far. You're lucky. If you're writing for yourself, It's pure passion. Maybe you'd let me read something of yours.
Aria: Yeah? You'd really want to?
Man: Yeah. You're smart, you've traveled, Great taste in music. I Like to know more about you.
Aria: Yeah. I'd like to know more about you too.
[Aria and the Man kissing in the Toilet ]
"Now hold on a damn minute. The two of you hooked up in a bathroom and then you still have the audacity to teach my daughter? You bastard! I'm going to kill you." My dad yells, getting up and tackling Ezra.
"Dad! Stop it! Please, you're hurting him." I try to drag him away from Ezra. I look at the others, "Help me. They are going to hurt each other." Thankfully, they helped and we were able to get them separated. "Sierra, can we have some help here?" I get some water to wash off the blood from Ezra's face. I see my mom doing the same for my dad. Everyone else is standing around trying not to stare at us.
"Here you guys go. I forgot this would happen. Should probably make sure that this can't happen again. Don't worry. No one can injure anyone else. If you are going to hurt someone, then ropes will appear and keep you tied to your chair until you calm down. Speaking of calming down, we are going to take a break and let tempers cool. Feel free to use the rooms to discuss this very interesting development." She points toward a new door.

I am ending this chapter here. One mainly because this is getting pretty long. It's already over 2000 words. I will upload the next part. I am not sure if I will have to split the rest of the episode up into 3 parts yet. I'm not even at the part where Hannah gets reintroduced. Long episode equals long chapters. Will do my best to update the next part in a week. Please review and follow. Thanks ^.^
