"You made it!" Emma greeted the four of them as they found the table she had reserved earlier. Spencer stepped forward to give the slender girl a hug. Emily felt jealousy flare in her gut at the sight. The embrace was short-lived, however, and Spencer's hand was soon laced with Emily's again as they all turned their attention to the blonde who stood behind Emma.

"Everyone, this is Evelyn Montoya, my uh, girlfriend. Evelyn, this is Spencer, Emily, Hanna, and Aria…" Emma said, unsure of Hanna and Aria's names. When they nodded and greeted Evelyn in return her smile grew in pleasure as the six of them sat around the rectangular table. They all made small chatter about how exciting it would be to see their dinner cooked right before their eyes on the grill that served as a large portion of the table itself. They sat in a three quarters rectangle around the edge of the grill, Aria on the end, then Hanna, followed by Emily, Spencer, Emma, and finally, Evelyn on the other end. Underneath the table, Emily's fingers traced circles on the inside of Spencer's thigh, making her knee move up and down in anxiousness. Every once and awhile, Spencer would move her own hand over Emily's as an attempt to cease her tantalizing actions, but the brunette would just smile at Spencer as if nothing were wrong. Then she would simply look back down at her menu and continue to look for something she'd like to try.

Their waiter took their drink orders and left to retrieve them. Meanwhile, the chef came with a small cart of supplies to the grill. He introduced himself and explained that he was just going to prepare to cook.

"So, Evelyn, are you a student at Brown also?" Spencer asked, trying to preoccupy herself. Evelyn smiled and her blue eyes lightened a little.

"Yeah, Emma and I have a couple of courses together and well, we just clicked. I've heard a lot about you, Spencer. Especially about how talented you are. Emma told me all about your impressive college application," Evelyn nodded. Evelyn Montoya was flawless looking. Aside from her golden blonde hair, her big blue eyes stuck out from the rest of her features. All but her full, pink lips, those similar to Emma's, but Evelyn's were longer. Her smile beamed with just a flash of her white teeth, and it seemed contagious to all who saw it. Spencer could see why Emma liked her so much.

"Well, I told Evelyn how much you love extracurricular activities, since Evelyn is an art major and all, and—," Emma was interrupted by Aria, who's interest had suddenly been sparked.

"What kind of art?" Aria asked with a pleased smile.

"Well, my favorite art to study are more classical pieces. You know, Da Vinci, Van Gogh… the old school stuff. What I like to do is take that old style and try to find a way to incorporate it into modern art. Anything from old Europe is right down my alley," Evelyn smiled. "Are you into art?"

Aria nodded as-a-matter-of-factly, "Oh yeah. All kinds. I love art that hasn't been seen before. Art that creates a name for itself," Aria grinned. "I do a lot of pottery, too. And painting. But that's mostly for me."

"Aria's just being modest. Her artwork is sweet," Hanna chimed in, trying her best not to sound drunk and failing.

"I'd love to see some of your stuff sometime. I might bring a sketchbook of mine or two. We can both share," Evelyn offered.

"You draw, too? What do you like to draw?" Aria asked.

"Mostly portraits. But they aren't nearly as polished as my paintings usually are. I've just always been better with a brush!" Evelyn gave a shrug and a laugh.

"I love drawing, but I wish I was better, though," Aria nodded.

"Well, I'm sure you do just fine," Evelyn smiled.

"Emily, what about you? I just realized that I have no idea what you like to do," Emma turned to Emily, who had stopped teasing Spencer for the moment to look over the menu with both hands.

"I'm a swimmer. I'm really pulling for a scholarship for it," Emily informed, trying to be as sweet as her jealousy allowed. For some reason, even though she was with Spencer, she couldn't help but feel mad that Spencer could have chosen Emma over her.

"Emily rocks in the water! It keeps her body looking ah-mazing!" Hanna added in, this time, obviously showing her drunken state. Emma and Evelyn laughed a little, seeming amused at Hanna's slurs.

"Is, she okay?" Evelyn asked curiously, not sure whether to laugh some more or be concerned.

"Yeah, she just gets a little out of whack when she's hungry," Aria covered lamely. Evelyn raised her brows and gave a look saying, 'If you say so,' and returned to scanning her menu.

"And boy, am I hungry!" Hanna giggled.

"Are you ready to order?" The chef asked them with a smile.

"I think so. Do you guys know what you want?" Spencer asked everyone. They all nodded, all except Hanna, who was fascinated by her glass of water. Aria smacked the blonde under the table and her head shot up, finally noticing all the girls looking back at her.

"Oh, yeah, I definitely know what I want!"

"Well then, what can I cook for you?"

Dinner was filled with entertainment from their charismatic chef. Hanna was kept in check by Aria and Emily, for the most part, anyway. The chef skillfully prepared each of their meals right before their eyes and they drooled for the savory dinner as he placed each meal on their plates.

"Yay, food!" Hanna celebrated. Aria snorted out a laugh as they all dug in.

"This looks delicious!" Emily grinned, examining her plate of Hibachi vegetables and fried rice with an herbal soup.

"Here Em, try this." Spencer was offering Emily a bite of her Yakitori, which is a zesty grilled chicken on a skewer with grilled veggies. She held the piece of chicken with her chopsticks and brought it up for Emily to eat. Emily playfully smiled and took the bite.

"It's great," Emily grinned. The tan girl then looked down at the table and picked up her chopsticks. "Spence, will you show me how to use them?" Emily looked into Spencer's eyes, making sure Emma could see. She wasn't meaning to flaunt her and Spencer's relationship in front of Emma, but at the same time, it felt good, knowing she had been the one Spencer ended up with.

"Sure," Spencer placed the chopsticks properly in Emily's hand before guiding it with her own. "You just need to think of them as tweezers. Just open and close like this, and keep them straight, or else you'll drop your food," Spencer smiled, her hand still on Emily's.

"Thanks, babe," Emily smiled flirtatiously. After a couple minutes of practice, Emily was getting the hang of things.

"You're doing great," Spencer smiled in between bites of rice. "You pick up on things so fast."

Emma shifted in her seat and turned to Evelyn, "How's yours, sweetheart?" She asked.

"Amazing, the teriyaki beef is fantastic!" Evelyn nodded.

"This is the best thing I've ever tasted!" Hanna splurged over her plate of Hayashi Raisu, which is Japanese style hashed beef stew, thinly sliced beef and onions in a demi-glace sauce served over or alongside cooked rice. Meanwhile, Aria worked on her Yakisoba, a noodle dish similar to Lo Mein and served with vegetables.

"I'm glad you all could come! This is going to be such a fun concert! I even got us some backstage passes," Emma said, giving a smirk that seemed spookily close to that of Alison's when she was in control. Hanna almost spat out her drink as she looked at Emma in disbelief.

"No way." Hanna watched as Emma reached into her purse and pulled out the passes, which were attached to lanyards for all of them to wear. She passed one over for Hanna to look at.

"That's so cool! We're going to meet Blink-182," Aria said, grinning as she leaned closer to Hanna as to get a better look at the pass.

"Emma, you didn't have to do this…" Spencer looked at Emma, who shook her head and shrugged.

"I wanted to. I feel like if we were going to be friends, then I needed to get to know your best friends better, and of course, your girlfriend, too," Emma looked at Emily. "I mean, seeing in how protective you all are over one another just makes me feel like it's the right thing for all of us."

"That means a lot to me. Thanks." Spencer smiled thankfully, happy that Emma felt the same way about the girls.

"I'm glad we came too," Emily added, smiling a real smile towards Emma for the first time.

The concert arena was jammed with fans from top to bottom. The six girls excitedly made their way down to the floor as the opening band finished their performance, readying the crowd for the real concert. Spencer held tightly onto Emily's hand as they moved through the mob of people. In her other hand, Spencer clutched Hanna's arm, unsure of if she was fully sobered up yet or not.

They all settled on a spot towards the middle where Emma stood next to Evelyn, her right arm wrapped securely around her waist. Spencer stood across from the two of them with Emily and Hanna and Aria on Emily's right, all making small talk about the concert. Spencer saw Emma and Evelyn and she observed how intimate they seemed. It brought Spencer to a decision she had been struggling to make all night. She smirked and leaned over to speak softly into Emily's ear.

"Em, I want to do it tonight." Her voice was low and husky.

Emily pulled back and looked into Spencer's deep brown eyes, a smile slowly spreading onto her lips.

"You mean—,"

"I want you tonight, Emily. I don't want to have any limits. Just us." Spencer was dead serious and Emily couldn't fight the smile that was now plastered onto her face. Before Spencer could say anything else, Emily had pulled her in for a passionate kiss as Blink 182 walked out onto the stage, causing the crowd around them to burst with excitement and ear-splitting screams. But Spencer and Emily didn't notice. They didn't notice anything as they slipped away into their own little world in a kiss that said it all.

Emma's face faltered for a moment as the other three looked at the couple admiringly.

"They're so sweet," Evelyn smiled at Hanna and Aria, who nodded in agreement.

"They do this a lot," Aria said, shaking her head.

Emily and Spencer finally pulled apart and smiled as they stood nose to nose for a moment. A moment that was broken by Hanna, as usual.

"Okay, as much as I love you guys' little moments, let's forget the lovey dovey stuff and rock out!" Hanna yelled over the opening song, which was the famous track, 'All the Small Things.' They all laughed joyously and began to sing the night away.

"They were so good! I'm glad they played a lot of their original songs!" Hanna said, her voice hoarse from all the screaming they did, her feet sore from dancing. The six of them were headed towards their cars in the parking garage near the arena.

"That was amazing!" Evelyn agreed.

"I think my voice will be gone by the morning!" Emma laughed, her voice cracking already. Aria nodded in agreement and began to reply when her phone buzzed. She looked at the screen and frowned.

A girls night away makes for hell to pay, bitches. – A.

Her eyes widened, and a moment later Emily, Spencer, and Hanna's phones went off. They all looked at each other after reading the message with worried expressions.

"Woah, that's weird. All your phones just going off at the same time like that!" Emma pointed out.

"That was my uh…my mom," Hanna said. "Yeah, she has all our numbers and she just asked all of us if we were all doing okay. It's kind of the only way she'll get any sleep, knowing we're sticking together," the blonde covered smoothly.

"That's nice of her," Evelyn nodded.

"Well, we better get going if we want to be up in time to make brunch in the hotel restaurant. You guys are welcome to join us at our hotel tomorrow if you want," Spencer offered.

"Thanks," Emma pulled Spencer into a long embrace.

"It was nice meeting you," Evelyn waved goodbye to everyone. As soon as Emma pulled back, Evelyn hugged Spencer as well.

"See you tomorrow?" Aria asked, anxious to get in the car.

"Yeah, bye guys." Emma and Evelyn said their goodbyes for the night and the two of them got into Emma's car and pulled away. Meanwhile, the other four girls sat in Hanna's car, Spencer at the wheel, Emily next to her, and Hanna and Aria in the back seat, all of them trying to figure out what A meant by the message.

"I don't like the sound of this," Hanna shook her head.

"Yeah, we never do seem to like the sound of things with A," Spencer nodded.

"What does A want now?" Emily furrowed her brow, looking from girl to girl for an answer.

"A wants a reaction from us. Can we please just drop this until we go back to Rosewood? A isn't here, we just saw Blink-182. Don't let that bitch ruin our night," Aria said sternly. The others nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I say we head back to the hotel," Hanna said, sounding more energized than before. Emily looked at Spencer and smiled, putting her hand on Spencer's right arm.

"Let's go, Spence." Emily's voice was comforting to the currently tense Spencer. Spencer breathed out the breath she didn't know she had been holding in and nodded.

"After all, our night's not over," Spencer smiled, speaking under a whisper.

"Not by a long shot, babe."

I'm tired.

Thanks for the feedback!
