A/N: I promise to make this one longer!


Aria stood at Ezra's door. She rubbed her hands together before knocking lightly below the sign that said 3B. Ezra opened the door almost immediatly and invited her inside, as usual. Aria had a sick urge to tell him about Maggie and Malcom, well, she had wanted to tell him since she found out. Every second she felt guilty for lying to him.

"Aria!" Ezra was calling her name.

"What?" Aria snapped out of her daze. Ezra had taken a seat next to her on the couch.

"I said, how would you feel if we went out of town this weekend? I was thinking we could go to New York, you know, if your parents let you," Ezra's blue eyes were wide. Aria couldn't help but to get lost in them.

"I would love to!" Aria put her hand over Ezra's and kissed him. "Get out of town, get away from the drama," she slumped back against the couch, bringing her boyfriend with her.

"I just thought you needed a break from Rosewood. With everything going on between us, I feel like we need some alone time to get everything out," Ezra smiled. Aria blushed but she wasn't feeling the same thing as Ezra. The guilt was flooding back into her mind. So much for clearing my mind. Aria thought.


"Where's Aria?" Emily asked Spencer as they climbed up the stairs of the Hastings manor to Spencers bedroom. "Still with Ezra. Hanna just texted me. She'll be here in a few minutes. Her mom apparently got a look at her phone and saw a non-suspicious A text," Emily stopped suddenly right outside Spencer's room.

"Hanna's mom found an A message?!" Emily panicked.

"Don't worry, it was a false alarm. It was the one that said Show me your boobs. Hanna said that some creep at school was stalking her," Spencer explained. Emily let out the breath she was holding. Spencer's phone blinked and buzzed. Emily looked at Spencer suspiciously. "Its just Toby," Spencer chuckled, seeing Emily's reaction. "He wants to know if I could go over there later. Ugh. Hunting A is going to be a lot harder with all of these... distractions!" she groaned.

Emily laughed at her friends reaction. She knew it was very hard for Spencer to stay away from Toby. "It's okay, Spence. We'll be done before you have to go over to the Brew. You've never been to his place, have you?"

Spencer shook her head. Why hadn't her and Toby ever hung out at his place?


"I'll text you later," Aria stepped outside of Ezra's apartment. They were still holding hands. She let her hand let go of Ezra's, only to be pulled back in for another breathtaking kiss.

"I love you," Ezra whispered againt her lips.

"I love you too," Aria pecked him one more time before Ezra drifted back into his apartment. Aria stayed at the door step for awhile before turing towards the stairs. Aria gasped as she saw a large gift basket.

Its A Boy! The ballon attached to the basket screamed. The A was colored in red and Aria suddenly knew who had put it together. A, of course. Aria had no clue how it had gotten there. One second the hallway was clear and then, this! Aria's breathing hitched in fear. She whipped out her phone and snapped a picture of the basket and the ballon and sent it to Spencer, Emily and Hanna.


"Did you see this text that Aria just sent out?" Hanna said, walking into Spencer's room.

"Yeah," Emily responded simply. The hand that was holding her phone was shaking.

"Why would A do that to Aria. What if Ezra saw it? What if she comes over here crying 'cause he got angry that she lied?" Spencer started shaking.

Hanna whipped her head to stare at Spencer. "Then, I will beat his ass to the ground," Hanna snapped.

"What if Aria is A's next target? Maybe now she's the weakest link,"
