DISCLAIMER: Two days after the post of my first chapter i still do not own Pretty Little Liars, I am just here to write a pretty little story about summer vacation. I do, however own some people made up by me. I also have not stolen anything from anyone, so if you think I did, you are probably wrong. Just saying.

A/N: So here's another chapter of this story, that I sincerely hope you do enjoy and if you do or don't please let me know through the IM message or in the Review section. I really appreciate any ideas of yours, who might have popped up in your head and are wanted to be written or explored on this story. For the Spoby fans, I have planned a future for them, but not right away, it has to be something troubled at first, since they are one of the biggest couples. Also Haleb is gonna happen in the future. But enough said for the future chapters, let's just focus on right now!

ENJOY AND HAVE FUN!

Later that day, Toby knocked on the Hastings' door to discuss everything about the holidays. Unluckily, Jenna had to go back to Philly with her mom to get her hair cut, so it was just Toby and Spencer who would discuss the plans.

Spencer's mom was just in the kitchen, when she heard a knock on the door. She opened them and surprisingly, there was unknown boy standing in front of her. But she quickly gathered her thoughts and remembered it was the new neighbour.

''Hi, it's Tony, right?'' she asked the visitor.

''It's actually Toby, but it's okay. We only know each other for a day'' Toby answered politely and smiled.

''Oh, well it's great to see you Toby. I guess you came to Spencer?'' Veronica asked.

''Yeah, we have to discuss some things about vacation'' Toby said.

''Vacation? I thought that Spencer and her friends were going to our lake house'' Veronica said confused.

''They are'' Toby confirmed ''but they invited me and Jenna to go with them. I guess she didn't tell you yet. I mean if you don't want us to go there, it's okay. It's your house'' .

''No no, you can go, I just did not know what you meant before'' Veronica said. ''I'm gonna go for Spencer now, so you can talk everything down. Meanwhile, do you want something to drink?''

''No thanks, I'm fine'' Toby answered.

Veronica then left the kitchen and walked upstairs to her daughter's room.

''Spencer?''

''In here'' Spencer yelled from her room.

''Come downstairs, Toby's here to discuss your trip'' Veronica said.

''Oh, you found out'' Spencer said quietly.

''It's okay, I'm proud of you. It's really nice of you to invite them since they would have nothing to do'' Veronica commented on her daughter's decision.

''Well, great then. But now I have to go. Me and Toby have to talk down a lot of things and it's already 7 pm''

With that being said, Spencer stormed downstairs and saw Toby sitting at their kitchen table. She then put a little bit of potato chips in a bowl and poured some orange juice in two glasses.

Then she sat next to Toby and started explaining everything to him, including time of departure, distance from Rosewood, weather forecast, room distribution, people going with them and useful clothes.

They were done talking about the vacation in about an hour, but they just kept on talking about everything. Spencer was really amused with Toby and he seemed like that too. It was already 10 pm, when the two stopped talking and remembered that they really should get to sleep, since it was a long day.

Spencer walked Toby to her door and said goodbye. He promised to tell and explain everything to Jenna and that they both will come to hang out with entire gang the next day at the pool.

NEXT DAY

It was 9 am when Spencer got up on a beautiful Saturday morning, also known as the first day of summer break.

She was woken up by door bell and surprisingly, Hanna was up before Spencer, and was worried about her best friend not answering her phone, so she just decided to spontaneously come by and wake her up.

''Hey, Spence, what was taking you so long?'' the blonde asked.

''Well I just got up, Han. It's called summer break and I just wanted to sleep. I fell asleep at 10 or 11 pm yesterday, because Toby just came by to talk about the trip and we ended up talking till 10 pm'' Spencer replied.

''Ulala, so it's something going on here between you two? Am I sensing Spencer Hastings is falling in love?'' Hanna said meaningfully.

''Don't be stupid Han! He's just a friend'' Spencer defended.

''Okay then, whatever you say. Let's get you dressed for the pool''

''Let's get upstairs'' Spencer suggested.

Hanna called the other two, and said she and Spencer would come to Aria's house in about half an hour. The whole gang was supposed to meet there, because Ella and Byron had a lot of food made for them, and they also lived closest to pool, so it was very practical. It was basically on everybody's way to the pool.

When they were ready, Spencer knocked on the door of her neighbours and Toby's dad opened them. She asked for Toby and Jenna and they came out right a minute later.

They talked about how awesome this summer would be and also about their plans for future. Hanna was being Hanna and asked Jenna where she got her teal shorts and what her swimsuit looked like. Of course Spencer had to advice Hanna that asking someone to show their bikini in the middle of the street wasn't really classy and Hanna objected it was summer. They all laughed and soon came to the Montgomery's house.

All the gang was there except for Ezra who forgot to bring his swimsuit and had to go back to his apartment. Spencer introduced both Toby and Jenna to the group and soon they were just like old friends.

Noel was flirting with Jenna, Toby was talking with Sean about sports and the girls along with Maya were laughing about something that happened years ago. With the arrival of Ezra, the gang was complete. Of course Ella and Byron had to give them tons of healthy vegetables as they were both used to cook vegetarian. They knew the teenagers would soon forget about their healthy and neatly packed meals and just order four or five large pizzas instead.

The group took off and walked those 500 metres to the pool. They paid one group ticket that included ten persons what was really perfect, since it was ten of them.

Throughout the day, there were times of diving each other, jumping from 3 metres, playing volleyball on the grass or just simply sunbathing. Everyone got to know each other a little more and they were slowly becoming a united the end of the day, they came to their homes a little bit less paler, way more connected and just happy. Each of them fell asleep with the thought of the next day's packaging and Monday's departure.
