"I was not checking her out. I just happened to be looking in that direction when you turned around." I explained to my best friend, Hanna Marin and she chuckled.

"Yeah right, Em. You were basically undressing her with your eyes."

I shook my head, laughing. She wasn't going to give up until I agreed with her which was annoying. I hated when she does that to me. She's making me own up to something I didn't do. But that's me. Nice, friendly Emily, always giving in to her stupidity. I had to deal with her for nine years and that's only because she put up with me.

There were originally three of us. The third person was Aria Montgomery. Her parents found out that she was skipping her classes to hang out with some boy from Philadelphia and they moved out of the country four years ago and she's never spoken to either of us since.

"Em." Hanna called out. "Are you even listening to me?!"

"Of course I am." I mumbled.

"Then, what did I say?"

"That you were hungry..."

We both laughed. "I am hungry, but I didn't say that."

"What did you say then?" I turned my head towards her to show her that she has my full attention. I felt her wrap her arm around my shoulder, nearly choking me.

"I said we're going shopping because we're going out tonight."

"Um actually, I already had plans. I was going to try to sneak into the pool for a late night swim."

"Well, your plans are canceled. We're partying tonight, Emily Fields. Now let's go find you an outfit."

I groaned. "Oh god.."

Meanwhile...

I really didn't want to go out with my friend, Aria Montgomery tonight. She forced me to. I was actually planning to find out more about that McCullers case.

"Hey Spence, what do you think of this?" Aria asked, holding up a strapless hot pink dress.

"Great.." I answered, unenthusiastically.

"Come on Spence, lighten up. This is for your own good. You don't always need to be focusing on work. You need some fun in your life." She said, throwing the dress at me. "Now, try it on."

Aria and I met when I had to do a case in Philadelphia. She was my case. I was her lawyer. She was kind of a badass two years ago and.. yeah. Let's just say I was her lawyer for more than one case. Now she's changed. She's a total goody goody now.. I think.

"Spence, try it on! Go!" She said, slightly loud and irritated.

"Okay, okay. I'm going, Ms bossy pants." I rushed into the fitting room and slipped out of my pants and shirts and put on the hot pink strapless dress Aria picked out for me. After a few minutes, I came out of the fitting room and Aria's face lit up.

"Perfect. Girls will be all over you tonight." She commented with a smirk now on her face.

My cheeks reddened immediately. I told her about five billion, literally, that I was not ready for a relationship. I don't think I'll ever be ready after what my ex girlfriend did to me. My heart breaks just thinking about it.

"Spence, you okay?" Aria asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine."

"Thinking about Sarah, aren't you?"

My cheeks grew hotter. "How did you know?"

"You get this look whenever you think about her," She started. "This is why I want to take you out also. You're still stuck on this one chick who wasn't even worth your time to begin with." Aria walked over to me.

"The year that you two were together was a lie, Spencer. She was a waste of your time and you need to forget about her." I nodded and went back into the fitting room to change into my clothes.

"I want this dress." I said, changing the subject. "I look really hot."

"Now that's what I want to hear!" Aria shouted.

That Night.

"Spencer, come on!" Aria shouted from the living room of my house.

"Why did I agree to this again?" I mumbled and finished touching up my hair, now making my way into the living room.

Aria glanced at me and smiled. "You look hot Spencer. Now all we need is that Hastings smile." I couldn't help but smile at that comment. She's so sweet.. when she wants to be.

"Now you look really hot," She said.

My cheeks turned a dark shade of pink, "Thanks."

I grabbed my purse and my car keys since apparently, I was driving. We made our way to my car and got inside. I took a deep breath preparing for the alcohol filled night that was about to happen.

"Here we go." I mumbled.

"Yeah buddy. Time to party!" Aria yelled.

Line Break.

I laughed at the sight of Hanna grinding on some random guy. She was so much funnier and careless when she's drunk. Then again, isn't everyone? The guy seemed like he was in his mid 30s. He had a beard and he was also drunk. She better not come to me saying she's going home with him because she's going to get a big 'hell no'.

I took my eyes off Hanna and took the chance to scan the place. It was colorful and loud.. like any other club. My eyes suddenly stopped on a short brunette. Maybe because she had on the brightest colored dress ever. Neon green. Neon green was my ex bestfriend, Aria's favorite color. Come to think of it, Aria was about the same height as her.

She then turned around and... oh my gosh. It was Aria. I looked over and saw Hanna still dancing, but with a different guy. I quickly pulled her to the side and she almost fell over.

"God Em, what is it?" She slurred, slightly annoyed.

"Isn't that Aria over there?" I pointed to the short girl with the neon green dress on.

"It's not nice to point, Em."

"Hanna, just look!" I linked arms with her and we made our way over to the girl.

Line Break

"Come on, Spencer! Get up and have fun!" Aria said, dancing in front of me.

I shook my head. "I'm fine just watching, thanks for offering though," I chuckled.

I looked next to Aria and saw two girls approaching her. One of them was a nicely shaped blonde and the other was a tall, muscular brunette. The blonde looked drunk as hell and the brunette seemed like the sober one.

"Aria?" Aria turned her body and her smile dropped.

"Emily.. Hanna?" Her voice cracked. I stood up and walked over to the three girls.

"Nice to see you again, bitch." The blonde said, stumbling over the brunette.

"Long time, no see." Aria said, now looking over to me with a shocked expression.

"Uh.. guys, this is my.. uh best friend, Spencer Hastings."

"The lawyer." The brunette said, holding out her hand. "I'm Emily. This is my drunk friend, Hanna."

I smiled weakly and shook Emily's hand, glancing over at Aria whom still had a shocked expression on her face.

"Why don't we go outside?" I suggested.

Wow. This going to be a long night. I turned my head and saw that Hanna was now staring at me.

"What?" I asked.

She shook her head. "Nothing. You're just hot, that's all.. right Em? You should totally get on—"

"Shut up Hanna!" Emily shouted, her cheeks now turning bright red and so were mine.

"Oh god.."

Emily's POV

I can't believe Hanna just said that. Well, she is drunk so maybe I can believe it. Aria smirked at me and then whispered something into Spencer's ear, which made her blush more than she already was.

"Hanna and I are gonna dance. Right Hanna?" Aria said causing Hanna to pull away from me and nod.

"Let's go." Hanna staggered onto the dance floor.

I looked over at Spencer and saw she was laughing.

"She's a hand full huh?" She asked.

"Hanna? Definitely. But I'm used to taking care of her."

She nodded. "So how do you know Aria?"

"Hanna, Aria, and I used to be best friends back in highschool. Then she moved out of the country and we never heard from her again. You?"

"I was her lawyer for many occasions." She chuckled.

I nodded, not knowing what else to say. Seems like the only thing we had to talk about was Aria.

"What do you do for a living?" She asked, now sitting down at the front counter of the bar.

"I'm a swimmer." I sat next to her.

"Are you a good one?"

"Well duh, I'm trying to go pro. You know.. to the Olympics."

She nodded. "Cool," Spencer smiled.

"What's a high class lawyer like you doing at a low class bar like this?" I asked her.

"This was not planned by me. Aria convinced me to go because to her, apparently I work too much."

"Same for me. Hanna made me go," I stared at her for a while and smiled.

"What?" She asked. "Do I have something on my face?"

I shook my head. "Nah. I'm just wondering something."

"Well let's play a game." She suggested.

"What kind of game?"

"Twenty questions." She smiled.

I nodded my head. "You go first."

She hmmed, thinking of her first question when her mouth turned into an 'o' shape, "What's your full name?" She shrugged, "That's what we're starting off with."

"Emily Catherine Fields. Yours?"

"Spencer Jill Hastings," she replied quickly, "Favorite color?"

I waited a moment before answering then my face lit up, "Red or Pink. Yours?"

"Pink. Are you just going to ask 'yours?' all the time?"

I chuckled. "No. Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No, I date girls. Do you have a boyfriend?"

I raised my eyebrows at her. Spencer Hastings is a lesbian? Wow.

"No, I also date girls. Have you ever been in love?" Her face fell and I immediately regretted my question. I was about to apologize, but her voice stopped me.

"That's a bit personal. Don't you think?"

She was right. I shouldn't have asked that. We only knew each other for like, I don't know, fifteen minutes.

"You're right, I'm sorry for asking. Do you accept my apology?" I looked at her with puppy dog eyes and she smiled at me before replying with a,

"You're adorable."

"I know."

So far, Spencer Hastings is okay. She seems like a nice girl. Maybe one day the four of us can get together sometime.. or when Hanna isn't drunk. I glanced over at Hanna and Aria. They were dancing with a group of guys that looked old enough to be their dad.

"It's going to be hard getting them both home," Spencer commented.
