A/N: This is my first fan fic so be nice...j/k. I actually wrote this a year ago and forgot about it, so i decided to change some stuff and post it. Told mainly in Ashley's pov, but some might be in Spencer's….I'll let you guys know if I change it. Oh yea, in case you didn't know, the italics are Ashley's thoughts. This takes place in NY. I don't own anything...umm...enjoy.

"Surprise? What surprise?"

Today is the beginning of the first long weekend we've had in a while. I decided that I wanted to spend as much of these three days with Spencer, starting as soon as possible. Selfish, I know, but if you knew her, you would want to do the same thing. When I'm not with her, she's all I think about her, and when I am….it's pretty much the same thing. So I figure why settle for only having thoughts of her infesting my mind when I can have those thoughts and her with me at the same time? I call her; it rings four times before going to her voicemail.

'Hey, it's Spencer. You most likely already knew that otherwise you wouldn't be calling me unless this was a prank call in which case I'm glad I didn't pick up. I mean how immature can you get? Wait, I'm forgetting about Glen. very true Oh yeah, back to my message, I'm probably busy right now or I just don't want to talk to you… ha! you wish you could blow someone off….so leave me a message and I'll get back to you.' (beep)

"Hey Spence…it's me…just calling to let you know that I'll be there to pick you up in 30 minutes...maybe less. Dress comfy, we're not really going anywhere special…call me when you get this. Ok. bye."

A couple minutes later my cell starts ringing.

"Wats good homie?"

"Homie? wats good? That has to be the funniest not to mention stupidest shit I've ever heard Ash. Seriously, where'd you get that one from?"

"Come on Spence, why'd you have to ruin my fun? I was in the moment there" I pout even though I know she can't see me.

"Aww… stop pouting I was only kidding. You know I love it when you try to act all 'gangster' (does air quotes with her hands)"

"I so saw that Spencer…..ok I didn't really see it but, I know you did your little air quotes with your hand…"

"I did not" begins to blush

"Don't lie to me Spence…I know you much better than you give me credit for" way better

"Yeah whatever...I got your message; where are you now?

Way to change the topic Spencer. Good job, that's something I would do "I'm about to head over there. Are you ready?"

"Yup…so where are we going?"

"I don't know…"

"That's bullshit and you know it"

"Spencer Carlin, that's twice in one phone call" I love it though

"Gosh you are so right…"

"Aren't I always?"

"Wow, yeah I guess you are…so much for hanging out with you today"

"Yeah…wait what?"

"You're corrupting me Ashley Davies"

"You are absolutely correct…damn. Well it looks like I'll be enjoying the surprise all by myself."

"Whoa!! what-"

Cuts her off "Technically, it wouldn't be a surprise 'cause I know what it is so…"

"Whatever (rolls her eyes)…so I'll see you in what 15?"

"Or you could see me now. I'm outside. Do you want me to come in?"

"If you want to, I mean all I have to do is tell my dad that I'm leaving and use the bathroom real quick."

"Yeah...so I'll be right in" I have to thank Mr. C anyway

"Ok, the door is open. I'll be down soon."

"Cool" perfect timing Spence

I enter her house and quickly head into the kitchen so I can have some alone time with Mr. C. He turns around, flashes me the most beautiful smile, next to Spencer's of course, and opens his arms inviting me into an embrace that is both warm and welcoming. He then whispers in my ear "I'm so glad Spencer has a friend like you." My eyes start to tear up as I slightly move out of his embrace and my eyes meet his gaze. "It's nice to know that you care about her as much as you do, and I know that you will never let anything happen to her. I know it's hard for her to be going through what she is now, but I am confident that with you in her life, she will do what truly makes her happy. And if she decides that you make her happy then so be it. That will only make me happier because I already consider you a part of this family, so that will only make it official." He wipes a tear from his eyes and laughs. "Wow, yeah so, have fun this weekend and be safe. If anything happened to either of you I don't know what I would do" I am at a loss for words so I do the next thing that comes to mind; I jump into his arms and give him a quick peck on the cheek. Then, as if by some miracle, words start spewing out of my mouth.

"Trust me Mr. C, Spencer means too much to me for there to even be thought of hurting her. No matter what happens between us, I'll always be there for her." Wow, how did I manage a coherent sentence let alone two?

"I know you will Ash"

"And thanks, that meant a lot to me. It's been so long since anyone truly cared for me. It just feels so good." At that moment I just threw myself at him again. Seconds later we are interrupted by Spencer clearing her throat. I quickly wipe my eyes before turning around to meet her gaze. She walks over and stands next to me.

"Dad, I'm going out with Ashley and I'm not sure what time I'll be back seeing as she won't tell me where we are going, so I'll call you with the details once I know them ok?"

"Sure sounds good Spence. Have fun" he walks up to her and gives her a hug and a kiss on her forehead

She then turns to me "Ready to get out of here Ash?"

"Yep..lead the way m'lady" turning around once more I say bye to Mr. C and he gives me a wink. I couldn't help the smile that crept up on my face. As I walked through the door, I find my self thinking how much alike Spencer and her dad are, and I couldn't be happier that she got such endearing qualities from him 'cause god knows Paula's qualities aren't endearing.

a/n: Thanks for reading...I hope you liked it. Anyway, what do you guys think Ashley has in store for Spencer? Let me know, and while you're there tell me how you liked the story.
