This is my first PLL fanfiction, so bear with me please. go ahead and be honest if you are gonna review, I'd love to hear what i can fix.

I hope you enjoy, I'll try to update as much as I can :)

It was early in September and Emily was looking for a job since she recently went on homeschooling. After all places had declined her applications she decided to see if her boss from her old job would hire her back. It was a haunted house that was only open for the month of October, but at least it was some money.

After filling out the application for the second time, she got an email from Cassidy, the owner of the haunt.

"Emily,

It is great to hear from you again! Of course you can come back, you were one of our best actors. I have to say, since your last season we've gotten loads of new actors! You can come in and show these newbies how its done :). Since you've been gone for a year you'll have to come to new actor orientation since things have drastically changed. It is on September 17th at 6:00pm. I can't wait to see you!

- Cassidy"

Emily was so excited to be welcomed back into her haunt family, she went downstairs to tell her mom the good news.

"Mom guess what?"

"What is it, Em?" Her mother asked.

"Cassidy said I can work at the haunt again!" Emily cheerfully said.

"Oh my goodness that's wonderful, honey." Her mom replied.

A few days later Emily found herself feeling a bit nervous for the meeting, she didn't know who still worked there or who the new actors were.

Emily thought to herself "what if these people don't like me? I mean I am a great actor but the newbies don't know me for that. Unless Cassidy told them, but she's really good at not showing favoritism, so I doubt she talked about me after I left."

Emily got in her car and drove to the meeting. On her way there she listened to Neck Deep, one of her favorite bands. She really got into one of the songs, A Part Of Me, she started jamming out to the song. As she approached a red light she started singing along to the song. She turned her head to the left and saw a really pretty girl in the white truck next to her watching and laughing at her. She shyly smiled and turned extremely red. The light could not turn green fast enough.

She parked her car and went to sit at one of the picnic benches. She sat in the back and waited for Cassidy and the others to arrive. She looked down at her phone the time read 16:57- military time for 4:57. Since her father was in the National Guard she had to get used to telling time in the 24 hour format.

"Well I'm extremely early." Emily said as she sighed under her breath. Emily had a tendency to show up to everything extremely early. She went to her car and grabbed a book from her front seat.

While reading she saw Cassidy approaching out of the corner of her eye. She put the book down and stood up.

"Oh my god, Cassidy it is so great to see you!" Emily said while going in for a hug.

"You too sweetie," Cassidy said while hugging Emily back. "you have changed a lot since your freshman year."

"I know, I am a bit surprised myself." Emily laughed. "Anything you need help with?"

"Well since you mention it, it would be great if you- oh my goodness I left the staff badges at home!" Cassidy frantically said. "I hate to leave, but I have to go and pick up those up, mind holding down the fort for about twenty minutes?"

"Not at all!" Emily said.

Cassidy smiled "You're a savior Em! I will be right back. If anyone asks, just explain that I forgot some stuff."

"Sure thing." Emily replied.

A few minutes later people started arriving in groups. "Cassidy will be back, she forgot some stuff at home."

"And you are?" a guy snidely asked.

"Uh, I-" Emily started to get nervous at all the people staring at her.

"She was an actor here a couple years back." A girl chirped in.

Emily was looking for the source of the voice. Then a blonde girl approached her. Emily instantly put her face in her hands. "Oh my god." Emily said aloud. It was the girl in the white truck.

"I couldn't hear you for myself, but I'm sure you're an exceptional singer." The blonde said while smiling.

Emily laughed. "I was praying that we would never have to make contact in person."

"Oh come on, it couldn't have been that bad. I'm Hanna." The blonde extended her hand.

"Emily." She said shaking Hanna's hand. "So how did you know I was an actor?"

"I also worked here that year, we never talked but I know you were a great actor, Cass still brings you up." The blonde says smiling.

"Wow I didn't even recognize you, I'm so sorry." Emily said.

"It's no big deal, I was really shy that year, I mostly kept to myself." Hanna reassured Emily.

"So if you're a returning actor, why are you at this lame meeting?" Emily asked.

"Oh, my friend Aria is a new actor this season, so I came to chill with her since she doesn't know anyone yet." Hanna answered.

Emily was caught in Hanna's big blue eyes, her attention was pulled when she saw Cassidy pull up and rush to the tables. "I am so sorry I'm late guys! It rarely happens, but it still does happen. So anyways, let's get down to business!"

After the meeting ended Emily went up to Hanna and asked for her number and she somehow managed to get it.

She went home and ran up to her room. She had a dying urge to text Hanna, but she decided to wait for a little while longer.

To clear confusion, Hanna is friends with Aria and Emily is friends with Spencer and Alison. There may not be much contact between Spence and Aria throughout this fanfic, but they are in it.

If you read this, thank you so much! Like i said, this is my first pll fanfic and I'm kinda bad at writing, but I'm glad you stuck around :)
