Six months later
It has been six months since I started the best relationship, I could have thought about. At the moment I'm waiting for my beautiful girlfriend to finish her appointment. Every Wednesday is the same, I wait for her to finish and we go to the movies. I do not mind waiting for her because I know is something that she needs to do and after that, we spent our time together.
Just like magic, I can feel her presence close to mine. Looking up I see my gorgeous blonde approach me.
X: "Hi babe."
E: "Hi Baby." I look into her blue eyes and just think that I am the luckiest person in the world.
X: "Ready to go? Remember we have to meet the girls."
I whine E: "Do I really have to share you with them?"
X: "Yes, Emily Fields, you have to share me with them. But only a little bit." She reaches and places a chaste kiss on my lips as I look into her blue eyes and give a thank you, to whatever higher power there is for making her mine.
While driving to the brew, I cannot stop myself from remembering the moment when we became official and all the drama that took us there.

Flashback
Emily POV
We just returned from our trip to New York, as I lay on my bed. I start to analyze everything that happened on the trip. I start to think of my feelings for both Hanna and Alison. Hanna has always been there for me. I have always been there for her. If you were to ask me if I love her, my answer without a doubt will be, of course, I love her. Now, if you were to ask me Am I in love with her…
The answer will be no.
Yesterday when I was talking to Alison, all my mind could think about is how I wanted her to claim me. How I wanted her to fight for me. How I wanted her to tell me she loved me. However, she didn't. I knew that Alison did not have feelings for me… now the question was should I lead Hanna on just because Alison did not love me?
I was so in depth with my thoughts that I did not hear my mom walking into the room. She sat on my bed, successfully bring me back.
Pam: "Emmy, are you ok? What is going on in your mind sweetie?"
E: "I am so confused mom."
Pam: "Is this about Hanna and Alison?"
E: "How did you know?"
Pam: "Emmy, I am your mother. I knew something was going on, I was just waiting for you to tell me." I take a moment to gather my thoughts and think, how I would like to approach this subject with my mom.
E: "I don't know where to star."
Pam: "Sweetie, you always start from the beginning."
E: "I love Hanna…and I love Alison."
Pam: "Ok, the real question is, how are you in love with?" I look at my mom and it is as if she had read my mind. Maybe if I had approached her before, I wouldn't have had so many headaches. I let a big sight out and answer her as honestly as possible.
E: "Alison. But she does not love me."
Pam: "Emmy, I don't doubt for a moment that Alison loves you, maybe not the way you want her to, but she does love you, sweetie."
E: "I guess, you are right. However, Hanna is in love with me."
Pam: "So why is it so difficult for you to be happy with Hanna?" I start to ponder on the question and honestly, the only reason is that she is not Alison. I'm so upset with Alison. I have been hurt by her so many times, but the truth is that deep down I know she is the only one for me. I look down and decide not to tell the whole truth to my mom.
E: "I don't know."
Pam: "I think you do. Maybe you don't like the answer, but you do know it. Maybe I can help you a little bit. Think 5 years from now, how do you imagine your life if you date Hanna?"
I take a moment and think. Hanna may love me but she will never be Alison. Maybe not tomorrow, but in the future, I will have to accept that deep down, in my subconscious; Hanna is a stand-in for Alison. Hanna may resent me for that and I could lose her.
E: "I could lose both of them. What am I scared of is, what if I never find the one, what if no girl will ever leave to the standard of Alison DiLaurentis? Am I supposed to live my life alone, crying over my best friend?"
Pam: "No, of course not. There will be one day when the right girl will walk into your life and will make the rest seem so dull." I think for a moment on that description and all I could picture is Alison. Is like if my life was a black and white movie but as soon as she walks in everything is Technicolor.
E: "What if I already found her?"
Pam: "Then, you do anything and fight anyone to be next to her. Did that help you?"
E: "Yeah, mom it did thank you." My mom left the room and I know she is right. It does not matter if Hanna loves me, I could never love her back and it will not be fair for me to stand between her true love and her. I need to talk to her.
I make my way out of the house saying bye to my mom and make my way to Hanna's house.

Third Person's POV.
Pam opens her phone and finds the group text that she was looking for. She types a quick text and sends it. "She is on her way to your house, Hanna."
She gets a reply, Jessica DiLaurentis: "Alison is already there, this should be interesting. What to meet in the Brew for some Te Pam?"
Pam sends a quick reply, "I would love to. Bring Ken over, I will pick up Wayne. Hanna, maybe you can join us. Be strong the end is near sweetie."
After that, she places her phone in her purse and makes her way to the car.

Hanna's POV
I am seating in Alison's living room. It has been almost 24 hours and I feel as if I am losing my shit. This got out of hands. Alison hates me and that is the last thing that I wanted.
H: "I don't know how this got to this point. It got out of my hands. What should I do?" I hear as my allied tells me to calm down.
H: "I cannot calm down; your daughter is probably up there thinking of ways to murder me." Jessica laughs.
Jessica: "No, she is not because she is not upstairs. Now that you mention it, she did ask if Veronica could defend her from bitchslaughter?" What?! I knew it she will kill me. She will destroy me. I am so taken back that I can barely speak.
H: "W…what?"
Jessica: "Hanna, calm down, you and I were just trying to help them realize their feelings. She won't be upset with you for much longer."
H: "Ok, if you say so. You are not scared because you are her mother, she won't kill you. Where is Alison?"
Jessica: "She said she was going to your house to talk to you." I stop breathing for a moment, the hairs in the back of my neck raise, she is already hunting me.
H: "What? Why?" Jessica can only laugh. This is not funny. Alison thinks that I will steal Emily for her. God! I should have listened to Spencer.
Jessica: "I think your plan will finally pay off. I think she was ready to fight for Emily."
H: "How can you be so sure?"
Jessica: "I talked to her about an hour ago. If you ask me it finally click that she needs to fight for Emily."
While talking to Jessica I feel my phone buzz. I pull it out and check, I just received a message from Alison.
"Ali D: Hanna, I am outside of your house we need to talk. Do not think for a moment that I will leave without talking to you."
I show Jessica the message.
Jessica: "I knew it. Don't I know my daughter? I think finally out master plan will work out."
H: "I really hope I get out of this one alive." I get myself ready to go to the final battle.
Jessica: "You will. Hanna before you go, I just wanted to thank you for making my daughter realize that she deserves better. You don't know how tired I was of seeing my daughter going out with a bunch of douche bags because she thought that is what she deserved."
H: "I know, and it killed me, even more, seeing Emily loving her from afar because she was too scared. Why do you think it was that Alison never accepted the love Emily had to offer?"
Jessica and I were so involved in our conversation that we didn't notice someone else approaching our conversation.
Kenneth: "Because we accept the type of love we think we deserve." I look at Mr. DiLaurentis, he knew about this as well.
Jessica: "I couldn't have said it better myself dear."
H: "Mr. DiLaurentis, you knew?"
Kenneth: "Of course, I knew the moment Alison started talking about Emily in dinner. I always believed they were together. It wasn't until Alison's Dinner party that Jessica explained to me the situation and your guy's plan. So I want to thank you for fighting for my daughter's happiness, even when she didn't fight for it."
H: "Not a problem Sir, but why do you think that Alison believed that she didn't deserve Emily's love?"
Jessica: "Oh, sweetie, Alison is sick. She has had issues with her self-esteem for a long time."
H: "I'm sorry Jessica, but I hardly believe that Alison will suffer from self-esteem issues."
Jessica: "Oh, but she does. Her strong persona and the need to bring people down is so she can feel at the same level as the rest of the people that surround her."
H: "I never knew. It makes a lot of sense. That does scare me of what type of relationship they will have."
Jessica: "I know, the good thing is that she knows now and she I willing to get help, for her and for Emily."
It all makes sense now, why she made everyone feel bad. Why she always kept Emily at arm's length. I need to go end this. I need the last showdown.
Jessica: "Oh and Hanna put a little show. If you just give in, she will never truly accept it."
H: "Thank you."
Jessica & Kenneth: "No, Thank you." And like that, I walked away.

Earlier that day
Alison's POV
I get home and I just feel empty, I feel defeated. The only thing that could help me right now I Emily and I know that, but I can have her, she is with Hanna right now.
I go to my hiding place in the air vent and pull out my diary. When I open the dairy I remember something, Hanna's Speech. I know I have heard those words before. I need to make sure.
I look for the right page and I find it easily. The page is worn out and it is full of dry tears. This page has given me solitude in times of needs. There have been so many times where I have fallen asleep reading it. Just for my sanity, I read it once more.
My dear Emily,
How I wish I could tell you how I really feel… but I just can't, you deserve better. Nevertheless, in the trustworthiness of my diary, I want to dedicate my true feelings for you…
You are smart, but not Spencer Smart because that is just boring. You are kind and passionate but not as much as Aria because that is just annoying, you can see the darkness but still appreciate the light. You are Sexy enough to bring me down as the Queen Bee, however, you don't know that and with the fact that you don't like the spotlight, it allows you to be fine as hell but not mean. And you are funny so funny, but not as funny as Hanna, which is good because she is sometimes annoying. You are the perfect combination between the 4 of us and I know that if I'm lucky enough to only go on 1 date with you, I will never do anything to jeopardize that…
Just as I know that I would never be right for you, but doubt no you will always have my heart. Always.
I close my diary and my tears are dripping from my eyes. I knew it, I knew those were my words. She stole them. She stole my words to steal her from me. But, how, how did she got them. I feel so much rage, she stole her from me.
In a blinding rage, I throw my diary to my mirror and it breaks. I am on the floor crying my eyes out, screaming at the top of my lungs. I am shaking with a consuming rage. At that moment my mother walks in, I know she is talking to me but I just can't seem to understand what she is telling me. She realizes that I'm not paying attention so she just holds me. I don't know how long we stay like that but it feels cleansing, like all my sorrows, are leaving me.
Jessica: "Sweetie, what is wrong?" between sobs I try to answer her,
Al: "I lost her mom. I lost her." my mom looks at me with sorrow in her eyes. Is like if the pain that I'm feeling she can feel as well.
Jessica: "Who did you lose, baby?" a part of me wants to tell her, but I feel fear. I take a moment to think of what I want. Fear is present in my body, but the rage that I feel for losing Emily is overwhelming. I take a deep breath and decide that I need to be honest with myself.
Al: "I lost Emily, mom, I lost her." I look at my mother and I see a lot of feelings in her eyes. I was expecting to see shock, disappointment or disgust, but no what is pride. Is she proud of me?
Jessica: "Ok and why did you lose her?"
Al: "Mom? You don't care that I like a girl?" I say as I wipe my tears.
Jessica: "I would if she would behave like one of those douche bags that you normally go out. But is Emily, that girl would give you the moon." I look at her and I feel tears start again.
Al: "She would, wouldn't she?"
Jessica: "Then why don't you accept it?"
Al: "Because I don't deserve it." I look down at my fingers, I have been feeling, that I don't know how to explain. I have been hiding with anger issues.
Jessica: "Sweetie, you deserve the world and more, why won't you let her give it to you."
Al: "What about everything I could lose, my fame my immortality and my reputation."
Jessica: "Ah, yes but what can you win?" her mermaid, she could lose everything but she could get her mermaid. Was it worth it?
Al: "I don't know mommy, I hear voices in my head telling me that I am not good enough. I need help."
Jessica: "I know sweetie, let's go get you help." I look at her in disbelief, was it that simple. Have I been torturing myself for nothing?
Al: "Right now?"
Jessica: "What better time than the now?"

An hour later I am making my way out of the psychology's office, I guess it was that easy. I need to work on my self-esteem issues, but I know it will be worth it to get Emily back.
Jessica: "Ready to go home?"
Al: "Actually, I have to do something first. I am going to go get my moon." And with that, I wink at her.
I make my way to Hanna's house and after waiting for about one hour, I send her a text. Showdown will happen today.
XXXXX
Third Person's POV
Hanna sees Alison seating in her front porch and takes a deep breath before walking towards her Best Friend, she keeps playing Jessica's word on her mind, and she needs to play the part.
H: "Hey Ali, last time we talked I thought you didn't want to talk to me."
Al: "You are right, but there I remember that I will not let you get away with it. So do you want to have this conversation inside or outside?"
Both blonds walk inside the house. Hanna felt her phone buzz, but she just ignored it.
H: "Ok, what are you talking about Alison. What is it that I won't get away with?"
Al: "Getting Emily to like you with lies."
H: "I am no laying to her."
Al: "Yes, you are and you need to come clean."
H: "I don't have to do anything."
Al: "Is this some sort of revenge? Is this your way of getting back to me?"
H: "Alison you are crazy. This has nothing to do with getting revenge from you. This is about Emily being with the girl that deserves her. "
Al: "But that is not you." The girls were so emerged in their conversation that they did not see someone else listening to their conversation.
H: "And how are you so sure?"
Al: "Because your little speech is not yours. It is mine." Hanna turns to look at Alison and sees a surprised Emily behind Alison, she pretends that she does not see Emily; this is the perfect time for the final stage of her plan.
H: "Ok, you are right. So why don't you just tell her yourself?" Hanna is hurting talking to Alison like this, she can see the rage on Emily's eyes, but she needs to continue. Emily needs to listen from Alison and nobody else, how much Alison loves her.
Emily is seeing the scene unfold and she can't believe it. Hanna was playing her and not only that she was using Alison words to do it… wait did Alison said those were her words? Does Alison have feelings for me? I want to go in and grab Hanna by the neck until she can't breathe but there is something stopping me. I want to hear what Alison has to say.
Al: "Because she won't believe me. She will think that I am playing a game with her." Alison looks down; she can't believe that she lost this battle on her own. It all would have been so easy if she had never played with Emily's feelings.
H: "Well, that is too bad, for you." Hanna hates that she has to act like this. But she knows is the best way to get Alison to admit her feelings for the brunette that was listening to each of their words.
That is how she came up with this plan when she saw how Alison's jealousy consumed her. She had seen how Alison loved Emily, but she just couldn't understand why Alison never acted on those feeling. That was driving her mad and wanted to find a way to help her best friends.
She waited and waited for months to see Alison lose control over her feelings for Emily, but she never did. Alison was a master manipulator especially when it came to her feelings. She never saw Alison lose an inch of her control, some days it was as if she was wrong, but she couldn't be wrong. She knew the blond had strong feelings for the brunette.
That is why she always tried to recruit the help from her friends; maybe they saw something that she didn't. It was a bummer when she realized that her friends were blinder than she was. She was losing hope, until one day, she saw the Queen Bee lose all sort of control for her feelings. She lost control when it came to jealousy.
That was the moment when she decided to help her friends and create a Master Plan. She knew she needed help. At first, she thought about asking Paige for help, but she decided against her because she just didn't have a good vibe from her.
That is how she found herself at the brew thinking, which could help her. It was then that her answer came in the shape of one Jessica DiLaurentis. Hanna explained how she wanted to help Alison and she was beyond surprise when Mrs. DiLaurentis already knew and wanted to help.
She gave her tips on how to drive Alison insane and even went above and beyond by giving her Alison's Diary. Apparently, one day cleaning the vents she found the diary, which only served as confirmation of what she already knew, her daughter was in love with Emily Fields.
After that day happened Mrs. DiLaurentis because Hanna's allied and assisted her as much as she could. She even enrolled Mrs. Fields for some inside job on Emily. All Mrs. Fields could say was that she couldn't wait any longer to have Alison as her Daughter-in-law. Then both mothers started saying how they wish they could have grandbabies already. A baby that will have Alison's blue eyes and Emily's long legs, all three of them agreed that for the sake of humankind it would be best if the baby had Emily's personality. Both women became a rock in times of uncertainty for Hanna. Now all she could hope for was that all of their efforts would be enough to bring Emison alive.
She took a minute to look at Emily and she could see the rage on her eyes. She had a lot of explaining to do to her best friend. She looks at Alison and saw that she was crying so hard, so silently but so hard at the same time.
Alison thought that the moment that Hanna took to look at her was a way showing of showing her that she had won. Alison thought back to the conversation she had with her mother. What is she willing to do to get what she deserves? She contemplated all that she could lose and once again her mother's voice rang in her head, but what would you win. The question she had earlier finally had an answer.
Emily was worth it!
Al: "Take it." Hanna was taken aback by her words.
H: "Take what Alison?"
Al: "Take it all."
H: "What do you mean Alison?"
Al: "The fame, the power of the status of queen been. Take it all…just…just tell her the truth."
Both Hanna and Emily were in shock from Alison's words; Emily had no clue what to do or what to say.
H: "You are willing to give everything up?" Hanna needed Alison to reach the finish line, she was so close.
Al: "Yes!" Alison spoke with so much conviction, that she did not leave room for doubts.
H: "Why?"
Al: "Because, if you tell her the truth, maybe just maybe I could tell her that I am in love with her and she will believe me." Alison felts as if a truck was lifted from her chest, it feels terrifying and exciting at the same time. She was so focused on Hanna that she didn't see her first love walking into the room.
E: "I believe you." Alison's head turned so fast that it looked like the scene from The Exorcist.
Blue eyes meet brown and for them, it was like if time had stopped. They got closer as if by inertia and place each other hands in places they felt so comfortable.
Al: "You do?"
E: "I do." And just like that their lips meet and the worlds seem right for the first time in their lives.
Hanna pulls her phone out and notices the messages on her What's App group and decided she did want to join them.
H: "Great! And we forgive Hanna for tricking us into accepting our feelings." Both girls turn to look at their blond friend with killer eyes.
E: "Oh no, we don't. You have a lot of explaining to do."
H: "I don't think so, I just gave you your happy ending and I want a coffee. Come on your parents are waiting for us at the brew."
E: "I don't get it. Are you ok with this? So you never really loved me?"
H: "Oh, but I did, if no I would have never gone against the queen bee to get you your happy ending, to get both of you the happy ending that you were so reluctant to accept. I do love you Em, I am just not in love with you." Both girls looked at each other and couldn't believe what they were listening. This was all a plan for Hanna to get them together. They wanted to say so many things but all they could do was laugh.
Alison takes a step towards Hanna and wraps her in a hug, whispering softly against her.
Al: "Thank you, thank you for believing in me, in us when I didn't."
Hanna looks at her with almost tears in her eyes.
H: "Of course, by the way, this was your birthday gift." Alison looks at her in shock H: "Come on Em, Em, you are buying coffee, I did get you your girl, and an appreciation gift is needed."
The three friends make their way to Alison's car and Hanna just can't help herself.
H: "Hey Ali, SHOTGUN!"
Next thing Emily knows is her girlfriend running after a soon to be dead blonde she just laughs. She hears Hanna asking her to get her girl and she smiles thinking how Alison is her girl.
Walking on the brew Alison and Emily are asking Hanna to tell them about her so-called Master Plan.
H: "Oh no, I will not tell you guys. I will tell all of your beautiful Emison babies, how aunty Hanna got their mommies together thanks to her Master Plan. I for sure will be their favorite."
There was a round of laughter that filled the table, marking the beginning of a great future for all of them.
