#Orange Is the New Emily

I was inspired after the latest episode of PLL to put a spin on the liars' and Ali's situation and write something new, and I'm not sure if I want to make it a whole new story like my full length one 'I'm Sorry I Kept You Waiting,' but if the reviews say so and push me towards it, I think I can manage. After all, Alison in that jail-orange was hot, to be completely honest, so I wouldn't have too much trouble finding some inspiration while imagining Emily dawning the same look.

So the so-called "prompt" / back story if you will, for this will be as follows: NO –A, AU, set in Rosewood and what makes the characters in PLL themselves are (hopefully) portrayed similar in this story…only this time, their connections with each other are slightly different. Anyways, Emily Fields is a young woman working her way through life, now the manager and co-owner of The Brew and her best friend is her other co-owner, Hanna Marin. The girls go on a shopping spree and little does Emily know, Hanna has fallen into her very old habits of shoplifting again. Taking advantage of Emily's overly-sized bag, she planted some very expensive jewelry on her best friend, thinking that she would get away like all the times before.

However, when the plan backfires, the girls get caught, and Emily is arrested by Officer Cavanaugh, what choice does this Hannily duo make? Emily takes the fall, agreeing with Hanna to serve some time. Why? Well, with Hanna's previous record, she would face more charges and more time behind bars than sweet, innocent Emily, who up until now, has had a clean record. (Now, I don't have much experience in the jailing system, I'm still an age that ends with 'teen,' so if this story continues, please don't chew me out for missing some details or flat out being wrong, although I would encourage your suggestions, if any).

Em braves the storm and is sentenced to a month in prison at Rosewood's finest. 'Keep your head low, and don't try to make any friends,' words directly from her lawyer Spencer Hastings. That's the plan Em wants to stick to, but what happens when a feisty little blonde destroys that plan, capturing the attention of Emily with her stories, gleaming smile and just the right amount of twinkle in her eye? What happens when Emily thinks she might be falling for the notorious Alison DiLaurentis?

So, that's what the future will hold for me and my laptop if any of you are interested. If you'd like to see more, please, please let me know. Leave your thoughts and comments, opinions and suggestions and I'll take it all into consideration. It's a rough draft right now, but I have a lot down in terms of plot and story development so I'm sure I can work some magic and make this A-mazing for you all.

Thanks for reading this, your support means more to me than sugar or a great outfit does to Hanna Marin. LOL
