Author's Note: Hey everyone, it's Melody with a brand new story! Most of you may know me from my other Spoby story, Moving On & Letting Go. If not feel free to check that out! I should be updating soon. This is a brand new story that has nothing to do with anything else I have written. It is AU, some things may stay the same from the show but this is my story. I own the plot not the characters! The story does center on Spencer, Aria and Noel but there is plenty of Spoby and Ezria and even some Haleb and Emily/Paige. If someone could tell me their couple name, I forgot, thanks (:. I got this idea a while ago randomly and decided to make it a PLL story, so I hope you like it and let me know if I should continue. I swear it gets more interesting as it goes on. The first few chapters will just set it up a little. Thanks for reading my long rant (many of you know I do this) but anyway let's get on with Lost and Found!

Lost and Found Chapter 1

Spencer

It was the last day of summer vacation and Spencer Hastings was dreading going back to school. It wasn't like the normal type of hatred toward school, and learning, and seven hours of boredom. She liked school and was even at the top of her class. It was the people in the school she hated. Every year she was taunted and tormented by Alison Dilaurentis and her clique of friends, Mona, Jenna and Kate. They were considered the most popular girls in the school, the ones who hang out with jocks like Noel Kahn and Sean Ackard. Spencer was considered to be on the opposite end of the food chain. People ignored her because she cared more about brains than beauty. Not that she wasn't pretty. She had better looks than Alison but no one cared to pay attention. People in the school's middle class were people who could fit into the popular crowd but chose not to. Those were people like Aria Montgomery and Emily Fields and their friends. Spencer wasn't alone in her corner of the universe. She had her best friend Hanna Marin. Hanna looked like she could be one of the populars but she was too nice to act like one. Spencer also hung out with Wesley or Wed Fitz. He and Spencer had known each other since pre-school. She and Hanna had been friends since birth, because their mothers were close. Hanna was also friends with Lucas Gottesman, since they were on yearbook together, so the four of the hung out.

Hanna and Spencer and even Wes were popular worthy, but because Alison hated Spencer, neither Wes nor Hanna wanted anything to do with her. Spencer and Alison had been enemies forever. The competed over everything. She would never admit it, but Alison was most likely jealous of Spencer. She was smart, beautiful, and kind. She would have so many friends if Alison didn't have anything to do with it.

Spencer woke up around ten, smelling pancakes and syrup coming from the kitchen. She made her way downstairs and saw that her mother was cooking and her dad was sitting at the table reading the paper. He peered over it and smiled.

"Good morning, sweetheart. Did you sleep well?" he asked.

She nodded, taking a seat beside her father. "This is new. I don't think you've made me an alaborate breakfast since I was eight," she said taking a sip of milk.

"Well, we knew it was your favorite meal, so we thought we'd treat you before you go back to high school tomorrow." Her mother stated.

"Why? It's the same as every other year."

Her parents exchanged glances before turning away. They didn't answer and Spencer began to suspect something. Her parents were lawyers so they were always busy. She rarely even saw them. And now out of the blue they were making her breakfast and acting like a normal family, something was up.

"So I was thinking you and I could have a spa day," Mrs. Hastings suggested, putting a few pancakes and strips of bacon on the plate in front of her daughter.

"And later we could all go out to dinner, the three of us." Mr. Hastings added.

Spencer knew whenever something bad happened, her parents would do everything they could to make her happy before telling her, but she didn't question. "That sounds great. As soon as I finish eating, I'll get ready."

She rushed up the stairs to her room once her plate was clean. She knew she should be worried about what would happen after today, but it couldn't be that bad right? She threw on a tank top and jean shorts and quickly combed her hair and brushed her teeth before meeting her mother back downstairs.

The day was great. Spencer and her mother got manicures, pedicures and massages at the spa and after they went shopping. They stopped for lunch in the food court devouring greasy foods which her mother never did but Spencer loved. They didn't have much in common except for their smarts, so it made her happy that her mother was doing things she wanted. When they got back home, her father asked her to watch the Godfather with him before going to dinner. Spencer couldn't remember the last time they had ever had a father daughter movie night and she was happy to be doing it again.

She wore her favorite dress to dinner. It was plain black, simple and elegant. Her parents took her to her favorite restaurant in Philidelphia, Lola's. It had been her favorite since she was a kid. She ordered what she had been since she was five, fettuccine alfredo and a side salad. She noticed her parents seemed off all night. They looked sad and her mother looked almost in tears. She asked if everything was okay but they shrugged it off saying it was allergies.

Spencer's parents even treated her to frozen yogurt afterwards. They took it to go and drove around Philly talking and laughing. The reminisced about so many childhood memories, Spencer's cheeks hurt. She had forgotten that all of this was because they felt guilty about something and enjoyed the night. It was probably the highlight of her summer, but she wouldn't tell Hanna that. She couldn't wait to tell her best friend all about it the next day over lunch. Hopefully she could get it in over Hanna's obsession to always talk about the latest fashion.

Before she headed off to bed, she kissed both of her parents good night. It was probably the best she has slept in ages. She felt like this would be her year. Her parents were going to be there for her, she'd have her friends, a great education and hopefully she'd get by with minimal torture from Alison. Spencer was happy and nothing could take her off of her high.

Don't forget to review! I love hearing feedback! The chapters will get longer and more characters will be added as the story progresses. For a while, each chapter will be told about Aria, Spencer, and Noel separately until they have more scenes together. It's kind of like the PLL books. Next up is Aria!
