~Chapter 4~

Previously: "We do. And we'd be more than happy to help you find her," Ashley interrupted with a small smile, hoping to reassure the other two.

"Ok, awesome, thank you both so much," Aiden replied with a sigh of relief.

"Her favorite places to go are the park, the tattoo parlor, the record store, and the library," Madison informed the twins after calming down significantly. "Aiden and I will take the tattoo parlor and the record store. Can you two take the library and the park? They are really close to each other."

"Yeah, sure. Is it the park across the street from Tino's Pizzeria?" Kyla inquired, glancing shyly at Aiden.

"Yep, that's the one!" Aiden confirmed with a crooked grin directed towards the younger of the two sisters. "We should get going though. Here are our numbers, just send us a quick text now so we have yours too."

After the four exchanged numbers, they went their separate ways in search of the blonde. Ashley and Kyla drove to the library first, but had no luck locating Spencer. They then walked the short distance from the library to the park and were surprised and relieved to find the blonde girl they had been searching for sitting under a tree next to a pile of movies.

"You go try talking to her, Ash. I'll stay here and call Madison," Kyla murmured to her sister who nodded and headed over to the large tree. As she got closer, she heard Spencer quietly singing "The Worst Pies in London" from Sweeney Todd and the Demon Barber of Fleet Street and couldn't help but let out a small giggle.


After she sprinted out of the bathroom when the two brunettes walked in, Spencer stopped by her locker and grabbed her favorite over-sized sweatshirt to put on since she stupidly ran off without her shirt.

"I cannot believe I ran off without my shirt," she groaned to herself. "Madison and Aiden are definitely going to have a field day with this one." As she continued rambling to herself, she started walking with no place in mind. A few minutes later, she found herself in front of the library and she couldn't help but smiling.

Ten minutes later, Spencer found herself with an armful of movies. She threw a smile at the kind, elderly librarian before wandering over to the park. Once she reached the park, Spencer made her way over to her favorite tree. She delicately placed the DVDs down before plopping down herself. She rested her head against the tree, shut her eyes, and started singing songs from her favorite musicals. She was in the middle of what was, in her opinion, the best song from Sweeney Todd and the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, when she heard a soft chuckle. Her eyes shot open and she was met with the most beautiful girl she'd ever seen.

"'The Worst Pies in London'? Really?"

"Hey, what's wrong with it? Sweeney Todd is an excellent film and c'mon, Helena Bonham Carter is a total MILF!"

"I agree with you there! I was just expressing my approval of your song choices. It's not every day that I come across someone who shares my love of both Sweeney Todd and Helena Bonham Carter," Ashley said with a dazzling smile as she sat on the other side of the DVD pile. "Well, I'm impressed. You've got To Have and Have Not, On the Waterfront, Rear Window, Arsenic and Old Lace, Rebel Without a Cause, 12 Angry Men, and one of my personal favorites, Bringing Up Baby." Spencer just stared at her in shock.

"You're a movie buff too?" She finally managed to choke out.

"Duh. You should see my collection!"

"Oh my god. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

"You just quoted Casablanca, you nerd!"

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

"You are unbelievable. Quoting Gone with the Wind now? What's next? Are you going to start shouting 'Stella! Hey, Stella!'?" Ashley teased.

"Hey! I thought we were on the same page here!" Spencer responded defensively, a smile making its way present onto her face.

"Oh, we are…nerd."

"Hey! Who do you think you are anyway?"

"Oh, right!" Ashley cried out, smacking her palm against her forehead. "My name's Ashley Davies and the girl becoming acquainted with that bush over there is my twin, Kyla," Ashley pointed out with a roll of her eyes.

"My name is Blanche DuBois," Spencer replied casually before ducking a swipe aimed at her head from Ashley. "Ok, ok! My name is Spencer Carlin. It's very nice to meet you, Ashley. And you too, Kyla!" Spencer called out over-enthusiastically. Kyla's jaw dropped open as she jumped up and almost fell into the bush she was attempting to hide herself behind. She composed herself and walked over to her sister and the blonde girl, who was laughing hysterically.

"Um, hi," muttered Kyla sheepishly with a hint of pink on her cheeks.

"Ky, this hyena over here is Spencer Carlin. Spencer, this is my not-so-ninja-like sister, Kyla." This only made Spencer laugh harder and Ashley thought it was the most beautiful sound she'd ever heard. She remained silent as Spencer finally stopped laughing and began chatting with Kyla.

"Oh god, we have to get back to school!" Kyla suddenly shouted, interrupting Ashley from her thoughts.

"Oh, right, school," groaned Ashley as she stood up and offered her hand to help Spencer up. As soon as their hands touched, a jolt of electricity shot through them and startled Ashley so much that she almost let Spencer fall to the ground. Once Spencer regained her footing, she bent over to pick up her movies before turning around to face Ashley.

"Thanks," she said simply with a smile, but it was clear that this curly-haired brunette had deeply impacted the blonde in the short time they had known each other. The Davies sisters just watched her walk away, neither of them saying a word. When she had almost reached the parking lot, Spencer looked over her shoulder to address the other two who hadn't moved an inch. "You two coming or not?"

The brunettes shook their heads and hurried after the smirking girl. When they finally caught up to her, Spencer spoke again.

"Well, it's about damn time. I thought I was gonna have to go all Jack Torrance on your asses to get you two moving. Ooh, or better yet, how 'bout Norman Bates? Now there's a good villain."

"Huh?" Kyla asked, with a puzzled look on her face.

"She's making references to The Shining and Psycho. Try not to hurt yourself, Ky."

"Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!" Spencer cheered while raising one arm above her head.

"So you enjoy wielding an ax and preying on innocent women and their children as well as attacking beautiful girls with a butcher knife while they are in the shower? Maybe you need to have a run-in with Nurse Ratched," Ashley responded sardonically.

"God, woman after my own heart!" Spencer cried out dramatically as she winked at Ashley, who rolled her eyes and chuckled.

"C'mon you two, we need to get back to school in ten minutes!" Kyla screeched, finally putting a stop to the playful banter being shared by the two movie buffs.

"Yes, mommie dearest!" The two called out simultaneously.

"Jinx!" Ashley exclaimed, pointing at Spencer.

"Hey, it's not my fault we both thought of Joan Crawford!"

"Would you two cut it out?" Growled Kyla.

"I think we found Nurse Ratched, Ash," Spencer whispered hastily into Ashley's ear, who could only nod and smile a goofy grin after having the blonde so close to her.


A/N: Alrighty, I'm sorry if this chapter disappoints y'all, but I was in the mood to do a lighthearted chapter! :) Also, if you can't tell, I am a huuuuge movie buff so there are going to be a lot of movie references now that Ashley and Spencer have finally been formally introduced to each other. I'll make sure to explain them all in the context of the story, but if you have any questions feel free to ask. Oh yeah, I'll try to update every couple of days, but my laptop screen is really messed up. (I'm talking hardcore messed up. I typed a lot of this chapter with one hand because the other one was pinching the top of the screen, so I could actually see what I was typing!) Well, I think that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed this chapter!

P.S. I really don't want to be one of those authors who begs for reviews, buuuut I'd really appreciate any feedback at all. I thrive off of it and it makes me update faster! Thank you in advance! :)
