Chapter 2: Meow

A/N: So, here's the next chapter. This one was inspired by another little video of Aria's that she viewed in the third book. I thought it was funny, so I thought I'd elaborate more on it. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks to those who have read and reviewed this story so far. I'm glad you like it.

Disclaimer: See chapter one.

The girls were having a lot of fun over at Ali's. They'd just finished having grilled cheese sandwiches and homemade fries and were now in Ali's room. Ali had had the idea to do makeovers on the girls. She got out some of her clothes and her makeup bag and began to work her magic. Soon Spencer and Hanna looked completely different, and now Ali was working on Emily. Aria, as usual, was filming the whole thing.

"Don't get too comfy behind that camera, Aria," Ali warned. "I'm going to give you a makeover next."

"I know, but I want to document this," Aria answered.

"Ali, don't put too much makeup on me," Emily begged. "I don't want my mom to get mad at me." Emily's parents were very strict and had forbidden Emily from wearing makeup because they claimed she was too young to do so. Emily knew that if they caught her wearing anything they didn't like, they'd ground her.

Ali laughed. "Don't worry, Em," she reassured her. "I'll make sure to wash it off before you leave. They'll never know."

Emily nodded, happy to know that Ali had her back. All of the girls were so happy to be best friends and to be hanging out together.

After Ali was done with Emily, she managed to coax Aria to get her own makeover. Emily held the camera so that it was still documented as Aria wanted. Emily didn't start filming until Aria hand changed into the clothes that Ali had put out for her and then sat down in the makeup chair. When Ali was finished, she admired her handiwork and ushered Aria to the mirror to look.

"Wow, Ali, you're amazing!" Aria exclaimed. Normally, she didn't wear a lot of makeup because she didn't want to be like the other Typical Rosewoods, as she called everyone who did what normal people did in the town. The girls always wore makeup and carried designer bags, while the boys played sports and tried to act like they were so cool.

"I told you you'd like it," Ali gloated.

"You could be a makeup designer for famous stars," Hanna commented.

"Or you could be a fashion designer," Spencer added.

"Why, thank you girls," Ali said. "So, what should we do next?"

Hanna looked around Ali's room and spotted Charlotte, Ali's Himalayan cat, lying on Ali's bed. "I know," she said. "How about we give Charlotte a makeover?"

Ali clapped her hands. "Perfect!" she cried. She found a hand-knitted sweater her grandmother had given her, and the girls stuffed Charlotte into the sweater. It took some time, but finally Charlotte was dressed in the sweater. Then Hanna took the eye shadow brush and got ready to put some eye shadow on Charlotte's eyes. But the cat, perhaps sensing what was coming next, immediately let out a loud yowl and jumped off of Ali's bed, running out of the room. The girls burst out laughing.

"That was so funny," Ali said. "Good job, girls."

Then Mrs. DiLaurentis called from downstairs, "Ali, did you put one of your sweaters on the cat?"

The girls looked at each other and burst out laughing again. Then Ali went downstairs and reclaimed the sweater, explaining the joke to her mom. Mrs. DiLaurentis wasn't very happy about it.

"Ali, you don't dress a cat like a person," she scolded. "That's one of the things I hate about people sometimes. They dress their pets like they're people instead of animals."

"Sorry, Mom," Ali apologized. "We were just having fun." She decided not to mention that they were going to put makeup on Charlotte as well. She had a feeling her mom wouldn't be too pleased with that.

When all the makeovers were done, Ali and the others played with Hanna's karaoke machine and had a singing contest. But they often remembered what they'd almost done to Charlotte and sometimes would just burst into laughter just thinking about it. They felt that if they had succeeded, Charlotte would've been the most beautiful cat ever. Aria would often look at this video to remember the good times she'd had with her friends, and later she'd long to have those times back again. None of the girls ever knew what would happen later on in their friendship and how things would change for all of them. They just cherished the time they had with Ali and thought about the future and what it would bring them. Little did they know what the future would really bring them and how things they dreamed about when they were younger weren't going to happen to them.

A/N: I know it's a bit short, but it was the best I could do. Feel free to leave a review once you've finished reading. Have a shelltastic day.
