Summary: Alison and Aria are step-sister's but don't know it until –A tells Aria with a stolen DNA test. What if Alison was never the queen bee but Aria was? (Alison still is the one who goes missing)
Aria was just getting back from Iceland, because of her dad's sabbatical. She was dropping Mike off at lacrosse tryouts and decided to stay. "Aria?" A familiar voice asked from behind her. "Hanna?" Aria asked. "Yea, it's me. We missed you," Hanna said. "I missed you too," Aria said walking over and giving the three girls a hug. "I can't believe it's been a year," Emily said. "Me neither. We were with her that night and now," Aria said "We're all apart," Spencer replied. "Aria! You're back," Noel yelled running over to the four sitting at the bleachers. "I'm back," Aria said. "Where's Sean?" Hanna asked. "Over with the boy's," Noel replied. "Thank you," Hanna replied then got up and started to walked over to Sean. "She dating him?" Aria asked. "She's dating him," Noel replied. "Can we talk...later?" Aria asked. "Sure," Noel replied then kissed her cheek to let her know she's welcomed back. Aria smiled and watched him run off to watch the tryouts.
"Aria? What are you going to talk to him about?" Emily asked. "I'll tell him then I'll tell you," Aria replied and sat down again. "So, how did Hanna and Sean happen?" Aria asked. "Well. There was a party that summer that you left and Hanna was sober and Sean wasn't," Spencer told her. "He admitted he liked her didn't her?" Aria asked. "Yea, he did," Emily replied. Aria smiled. "You knew!" Spencer laughed. "I knew because I was dating his best friend Noel," Aria replied. "You really know how to keep a secret," Spencer replied. "It's a speciality," Aria said. Aria looked over at the flirting couple and sighed. "You think it's over for good with you and Noel?" Spencer asked. "I think so, I mean, does he have a girlfriend?" Aria asked. "He never cheated on you Aria," Spencer replied. Aria smiled. "That's what you're going to talk about with him. You're going to see if he's seeing anyone," Emily said. "Yea, so?" Aria said. "So nothing," Emily replied. Aria smirked at how Emily still remembered that she wasn't to be questioned.
...
"So is Aria back for good?" Sean asked. Hanna looked down at the ground. "What?" Sean asked. "Every boy liked Aria when she was here and now. You're asking about her. It makes me feel insecure," Hanna replied. "I'm not leaving you for her. I'm asking for Noel," Sean told her. "Why does Noel want to know if she's staying for good?" Hanna asked. "She...is the hottest girl in school and Noel's ex girlfriend," Sean said. "Yea, she is going to be staying for good," Hanna replied with a sigh. "You're scared I'm going to dump you?" Sean asked. "Yea, I mean, you just said She is the hottest girl in the school," Hanna said. "I did like her until. She made me realize that I will never have her and then I started to fall for you," Sean said. "You...had a crush on Aria?" Hanna asked. "I was in grade 6 at the time," Sean replied. "Everyone had a crush on her at that time...and almost everyone still does," Sean added. "I remember that. I use to be called Hefty Hanna," Hanna told him. "Well she did have nicknames for everyone," Sean told her. "I know...Emily's was Killer," Hanna told him. "I know. She told me and Noel," Sean replied. "She hung out with you?" Hanna asked. "Yea she was Noel's girlfriend," Sean told her.
"HEY Sean! That's it for the tryouts," Noel yelled over to him. "Well I got to go," Sean said giving Hanna a peck on the lips then got up and walked over to Noel. "So who we putting on the team?" Sean asked. "Mike Montgomery. He tore up the field out there, James Cribb, he did the same as Mike and, ah these people," Noels said while looking at Aria across the field. "Yo, Noel, stop drooling over Aria. You had her heart back then you'll still have it now," Sean said noticing how off Noel seemed. "What if she found someone in Iceland," Noel told him. "She loved you, and those feelings just don't go away," Sean told him. "I hope you're right," Noel replied then walked over to Aria.
"Aria," Noel said catching up to her before she got in the car. Mike rolled his eyes. "Yea?" Aria replied. "How about you bring Mike home and meet me at the grille?" Noel asked. "See you in 30," Aria replied with a smile. Noel walked backwards with a smile on his face then turned around.
"Aria, are we going to get going or what?" Mike asked. "Ah, yeah, let's go," Aria replied while getting into the car. "I know he was your boyfriend and all but if he makes the team. He's going to be my team mate and that's just going to be awkward," Mike said. Aria laughed then turned the car on. "He is my boyfriend," Aria said with a smirk on her face then drove off to her home.
They were pulling up to her house when Aria told Mike to tell their parents that she as going out for a bit. Mike nodded and went inside and Aria quickly pulled out of the driveway and headed down to the grille.
Aria sat in her car reapplying her lip gloss when Noel pulled up. Aria got out and walked over to the door to the grille. "You just getting here or?" Noel asked. "I got here a few minutes ago, but I got busy," Aria replied. "It's nice that you're back," Noel said opening the door. "it's good to be back," Aria replied. They both took a seat.
"I missed you," Noel told her. "I missed you," Aria said with a smile. "Did you notice that this is the same booth we sat in on our first date?" Noel asked. Aria looked around and laughed. "I just noticed," Aria replied. "So, I got a question. But you have to answer it honestly," Noel told her. Aria nodded. "Did you meet anyone in Iceland that stole you're heart?" Noel asked. "Truthfully no. My heart belonged to someone here in Rosewood," Aria replied looking at him. "I was wondering if we could possibly pick up from where we left off." Noel asked. "I would love to," Aria replied. Noel walked over and slipped into her side of the booth. "I really missed you," Noel whispered. Aria looked at him and whispered back,"I'm here now." Noel took her hand. They didn't notice Hanna and Sean walk pass the Grille window.
...
"Is that?" Hanna asked looking through the window. "Yea, it is. My man got his girl," Sean said with a small smile on his face. "You knew he was going to do that?" Hanna asked looking at him with a small smile of her own and it showed that she as not longer insecure. "I knew he was taking her out but," Sean gestured towards the window. "I didn't know that's what he took her out for," Sean finished. "He loved her. She loved him," Hanna whispered.
...
Noel looked into her eyes. He got lost in them looking at her for what felt like eternity. He knew he was in love with her, he was scared that if he said he loved her she was going to say that, they maybe dating but she didn't love him.
Aria was looking into Noel's eyes. She wanted to tell him she looked him but was scared that he was going to say that, they maybe dating but he didn't love her. It would shatter her heart into a million pieces. She dated him for two years and again she was dating him.
"I love you," Noel said in a whisper. He didn't even know he said it but he did. "I love you to," Aria whispered back. Noel then realized he did and kissed her. Aria responded quickly, but then pulled back. "I was scared you were going to say, you didn't love me even though we were dating," Aria told him. "I always loved you and always will," Noel told her. Aria kissed him and he put his hand on her cheek,
-Noel-Aria-
"They do know they are making out in the grille right?" Hanna asked. "They know and that's why they are leaving," Sean said then quickly took Hanna's hand and acted like they were walking. "Hey Sean. Hey Hanna," Noel said when he seen them. "O hey," Sean said looking at them. Hanna looked at them entwined hands and looked at their faces. "Hi," Hanna said. "Hey Han," Aria replied looking at her with a smile. "Aria, you're not calling me Hefty Hanna. Are you sick?" Hanna asked. "No, but when I was in Iceland I changed. I am no longer going to call my 'friends' names," Aria said stretching friends. "Okay," Hanna said smiling at her. "Well we have to get going I'll see you later?" Noel asked Sean. "Yea," Sean replied. "Sean, Han? Can you take my car back to mine and then you can walk from there?" Aria asked. "Sure," Hanna replied. Aria gave Sean the keys and walked over to Noel's car and got in. Noel got in and started her up then drove off.
