Hello again! Thanks so much for the reviews they were amazing, especially from Sora Yagami, it was really sound. So anyway I'm going to crack on…

The girls were sitting in the Brew eating lunch when Spencer arrived. Aria smiled and waved her over. Emily shifted in her seat with her head down looking at her salad. She had tried to eat fast before Spencer came, but it was too late now, there was no escape.

"Hey guys. I'm sorry I'm late, I was with Toby". "Enough said" smiled Hanna. Spencer laughed and then looked over at Emily, who was sitting silently eating her lunch. "Hey Em, how are you? I haven't seen you in days. Is everything OK?" she asked concerned.

Emily slowly raised her head to look at Spencer "Everything's fine, I've just been busy, that's all". Aria went to the counter to order Spencer a coffee and Spencer moved into her seat across from Emily. "Are you sure? Because you've been spending a lot of time with Melissa, in my house, yet I haven't talked to you once in the past week". Hanna turned to face Emily with a confused look on her face "What's the deal Em?"

Emily looked from Hanna to Spencer and opened her mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again when she didn't know what to say. "What's A got on you now?" asked Spencer, the concern and worry growing in her voice.

"Nothing, A's got nothing over me. I need to go, I've got swim practice" Emily got to her feet and grabbed her bag. "Emily, wait!" called Hanna, but it was too late, she'd already brushed past Aria and out the door.

"What was all that about? Is she OK?" asked Aria handing Spencer her coffee. "We don't know. I asked her if A was holding something over her…" Aria cut in "When doesn't she…he…it!" Hanna nodded in agreement before Spencer continued "But she said that A's got nothing over her. I think she's avoiding me, but I don't know why?"

"C'mon, it's Emily, why would she be avoiding you?" asked Aria. "I don't know. Did I say something, or do something that might have offended her?" she asked distressed. "No way, she would have told me if you had. I think you should ask the one person who we know she's been with every-day: Melissa" said Hanna very matter-of-factly.

"I agree with Hanna, it sounds like the only thing you can do until Emily comes round" said Aria. "You're right, you're both right. I'll talk to her".

Hanna sat smiling into her latté until Aria asked her why she looked so happy. "It's just not every-day Spencer Hastings says I'm right. I'm savouring the moment". Spencer shook her head smiling while Aria gave her a nudge in the arm. "Yeah you better savour it!" replied Spencer, "because I'm on the case, and c'mon, I'm rarely wrong…"

Aria exchanged a glance with Hanna, and they burst into laughter. "What? What?!" asked Spencer surprised. "Well, you may be right about everyone, except who A is. Sorry Spence" laughed the girls. "You won't be laughing when I find her, him….it! You'll be thanking me!" Hanna smiled, "Slow down there Nancy Drew, let's just figure out what's going on with Emily before we try to solve the A-Game".

Spencer sat drinking her coffee while Aria and Hanna giggled away.

Yes that was a short chapter but I have tons of school work to do. Anyway, it was only supposed to be a short, tie-in chapter to keep you hooked.
Btw, I'm going to be jumping forwards and backwards with this story. This is a few days on from the last chapter, but the next one will be back again. I just thought I'd give you the heads-up in case you got confused. Please review, they really make my day!
