Later that night Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer all made their way to the resort's large, open-air theater for some karaoke entertainment. As people slowly began to trickle in, a few resort employees circulated throughout the crowd, trying to recruit guests to participate in the show.

"Hi. Ladies." A young man in a red resort uniform vest said. "Any of you care to sing in our show tonight?...first prize is a hundred bucks."

The man then handed a large white binder to Spencer, which held a sign-up sheet and many pages, listing all of the possible song choices.

"What do you say?" The man said. "Can I sign you up?"

"Oh...I, uh...I don't think so." Spencer said. "I'm not much of a singer."

Hanna took the binder from Spencer and began to flip through it.

"Come on, Spence, you so have to do it." Hanna said.

"No way." Spencer said, shaking her head.

"Don't be so boring." Hanna whined.

The man laughed. "I'll leave this with you girls. He said, said, pointing to the binder. "I'll be back in a few minutes...we'll see if we can't get you to change your mind."

The man then disappeared, trying to convince other guests to participate in the show.

"So Spence...what song are you going to sing?" Hanna asked.

"Hanna, I told you already, I don't sing."

"You should, though." Emily said. "Your voice is so totally sexy."

"You think my voice is sexy?" Spencer said surprised, her voice inadvertently cracking, horribly.

Spencer then cleared her throat before speaking again.

"I mean...you think my voice is sexy?" Spencer said again, this time in a much deeper tone.

Emily laughed. "Obviously. Who doesn't?"

"I totally agree with Emily...you might even have a career in reading books on tape or doing voice-overs." Hanna laughed. "Now let's pick you a song."

"Hanna...I can't."

"I think you should do it, Spence." Aria said.

"That makes three against one." Hanna said. "Majority rules, you're doing it."

"The only way I'll do it is if the three of you do it with me."

"I'll sing with you." Hanna said. "We'll kick ass."

"I'm in." Aria said.

"Me too." Emily agreed.

"Fuck..." Spencer muttered. "I thought you'd say no, Em."

"It'll be fun." Emily said.

"Yeah. Fun." Spencer groaned.

"You don't honestly mean to tell me that my big, brave Spencer is afraid of a little karaoke." Emily said as she put her arm around Spencer's shoulder.

"I'm not afraid." Spencer said. "I just don't typically enjoy public humiliation."

Aria, Emily and Hanna all laughed.

"It's really not that bad, Spence." Emily said.

"When have you done karaoke?" Spencer asked.

"I…uh…did it once a long time ago…with Maya." Emily lied, not wanting to bring up the subject of Paige with Spencer.

"Oh. Okay. Cool." Spencer said.

"There you go, Spence, even Emily's done karaoke and she's about as shy as they come." Hanna said.

"Yeah. Except in bed." Spencer laughed.

Aria and Hanna couldn't help but laugh too.

"Hey!" Emily said as she smacked Spencer's shoulder with the back of her hand.

"What? It's the truth." Spencer chuckled. "And that kinda hurt, by the way." Spencer said as she rubbed her shoulder.

"Anyway..." Aria said, helping Emily out by changing the subject. "We don't even know any of these people...it's not like we'll ever see them again...besides we'll all be singing at the same time."

"I know. It's just that singing isn't exactly one of my strong suits." Spencer said.

"Hey, miss perfectionist." Hanna said. "Karaoke's not about being good...it's about having fun."

"She's got a point, babe." Emily said, placing her hand on Spencer's knee.

"And since when does being in front of people bother you?" Hanna said. "Aren't you like captain of the debate team or some boring shit like that?"

"Yes I am captain of the debate team, but speaking in front of a crowd is not the same as singing in front of a crowd."

"Stop being such a big cry baby, Spence." Hanna complained. "You're singing, you already agreed, you aren't getting out of it."

"So…what song are we gonna do, Han?" Emily asked.

"We should totally do a Britney song...what do you think, Spence?"

"I'm already completely throwing my dignity out the window, so why not do a Britney song?" Spencer said sarcastically.

Hanna laughed as she continued flipping through the binder.

"Wait." Hanna said. "I know what song we should do."

"Oh, God. What?" Spencer asked. "Is it worse than Britney?"

"No. Way better." Hanna said. "We're so doing 'Last Friday Night' by Katy Perry."

"Oh! I like that one." Emily said.

"Me too." Aria agreed. "It's fun."

"A song about getting totally wasted...doesn't get much classier than that." Spencer laughed.

Hanna took the pen out of the binder and scribbled her own name down before adding her friends' names to the list. The resort employee with whom they had spoken to before, returned a few minutes later.

"So have you ladies decided to join in on the fun?" He asked.

"Yep. We're all doing a song together." Hanna said as she handed the binder back to the man.

"Great. Good luck." The man said, before walking away, seeking more performers.

The girls watched as the show's host, a young, brunette woman, came onto the stage to announce the first performance of the evening. Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer then spent the next hour listening to other guests perform, anxiously awaiting their turn. Spencer sunk down into her chair, dreading that her turn was rapidly approaching, as she watched the current performers walk off stage.

"Weren't they great?" The host said into the microphone. "Let's give them another round of applause."

The host then looked down at the clipboard to announce the next performer.

"Okay...up next we have a foursome singing, Katy Perry's 'Last Friday Night'" The host said. "Could we get Hanna, Aria, Emily and Spencer to the stage please..."

"Well, that's us." Hanna said, grinning wildly. "Come on."

"Oh God." Spencer groaned. "I hate you so much...you don't even know..." Spencer said as she shoved Hanna forward.

Hanna just laughed and continued toward the stage.

"Come on, Spence." Emily said, taking Spencer's hand and following closely behind Hanna. "Don't be nervous."

When they reached the stage, the host handed each girl a microphone.

"Hi. How are you girls doing tonight?" The host asked.

"Great." Hanna replied.

"Okay now, which one of you is which?"

"I'm Hanna. And these are my three best friends, this is Emily, that's Spencer and Aria is on the end."

"Great...and where are you girls from?"

"Rosewood, Pennsylvania...it's near Philadelphia." Hanna said.

"All right then...let's give them a big round of applause."

As the music began, Spencer stared at the television screen, frozen in place, waiting for the lyrics to light up. Spencer squinted and felt her heart begin to race as the bright spot light beamed down on her and her friends. She swallowed her pride and began singing the lyrics as the lit up. As the song continued, Hanna smiled at Spencer, who actually looked like she was having a good time. Hanna draped her arm over the brunette's shoulder, while all four of them continued singing the rest of the lyrics, surprisingly, not making any mistakes at all. When the song ended, the crowd erupted into a fit of loud cheers and applause. The girls then handed their microphones back to the host.

"Nice job, girls..." the host said. "Let's give them one last big round of applause."

Spencer, Emily, Aria and Hanna then began to make their way back to their seats as the host called up the next group.

"Was that really so bad?" Hanna asked, looking at Spencer as they sat down.

"Not as bad as I thought it would be." Spencer replied. "But I don't think I'll be adding singing to my list of talents."

"Aw. But you were good." Emily said as she sat down across Spencer's lap, rather than in her own chair.

"Em's right, Spence." Aria said. "You were pretty good."

"Thanks."

"Not to mention, you were so cute up there…all nervous." Emily said as she wrapped her arms around Spencer's neck and hugged her girlfriend.

"Well in that case, remind me to totally mortify myself more often." Spencer laughed as her hands came to rest around Emily's waist.

"You know you wouldn't have been so nervous if you had had a few drinks first." Hanna said.

"Hanna, we have to get up early tomorrow morning." Spencer said. "So getting trashed tonight would be really stupid…it's gonna be hard enough to drag your ass out of bed."

"Yeah, well...before this trip is over I'm gonna get you so totally wasted that you won't even be able to feel feelings anymore." Hanna said.

"Yeah okay, Hanna, whatever you say." Spencer rolled her eyes.

The four girls then settled in to watch the rest of the show. When all the performances for the evening had ended, the host called all of the performers to the stage to determine a winner. She went down the line of people promoting the crowd to applaud for their favorite.

"All right. I think our judges have determined a winner." The host said.

The host reached down off of the stage and took a piece of paper from one of the judges sitting near by.

"Okay. Our winner is...the girl group from Pennsylvania…let's give it up for Hanna, Aria, Emily and Spencer."


"I can't believe we actually won." Spencer said as the girls made their way back to their rooms.

"I'm not surprised." Hanna said. "Who wouldn't cheer for a group of four sexy girls from Pennsylvania."

"So true." Aria laughed as they approached their rooms. "What time do we need to meet you guys tomorrow morning?"

"Our tour bus leaves at eight a.m." Spencer said. "We should probably be downstairs in the lobby to meet our tour group around seven-thirty." Spencer said.

"Great." Hanna said. "Not only do we get to wake up at the crack of dawn...we also get to spend the entire day looking at old rocks and shit."

"They're not just rocks, Han." Aria said. "We're going to see the ruins of one of the most influential ancient societies in the entire world."

"You know, you might actually learn something, Hanna." Spencer said.

"The only thing I'm interested in learning is how many tequila shots I can do before I pass out." Hanna said matter-of-factly.

"There'll be plenty of time for that, Han." Spencer said. "Tomorrow is only Monday, you know...by the way, I'd suggest wearing sneakers tomorrow. We'll be doing a lot of walking."

"Fuck. I didn't bring any." Hanna said.

"You brought everything else in the free world, but didn't bring a single pair of sneakers?" Spencer laughed.

"I didn't think I'd need any."

"You can borrow a pair of mine." Spencer said, using her key card to unlock the door to her room. "Come here."

Hanna and Aria followed Spencer and Emily into their room.

"Here." Spencer said. "You want blue and gray Pumas or black and white Nike?"

"Do you have anything a little cuter?" Hanna asked.

Spencer rolled her eyes. "Sorry, I didn't bring my entire wardrobe...you can have Nike or Puma, or you can have nothing...now which ones do you want?"

"I guess I'll take the Nikes." Hanna said, taking the shoes from Spencer. "Thanks."

"You're welcome."

"Is there anything specific we should bring tomorrow?" Aria asked.

"I would suggest bringing a swim suit." Spencer said. "If we have time, the tour guide may take us to something called a cenote."

"What's that, Spence?" Emily asked.

"It's basically a giant open water pool that's formed when the top layer of earth gets worn away and exposes the ground water underneath. The word cenote actually means 'well'"

"So is it like a cave?" Aria asked.

"Sort of...it's more like a deep, vertical shaft...there are tons of them all over the Yucatan Peninsula." Spencer said.

"How deep is it?" Emily asked.

"The one I went to was like eighty feet from ground level just to the surface of the water...you can stand at the top and look straight down into the water."

"And people are allowed to swim in it?" Emily asked.

"Yep. The tourist ones usually have a staircase that leads down the side...it's kind of like a cavern."

"Oh my God...that's so cool." Aria said. "I can't wait."

"Yeah, cool." Hanna groaned.

"Come on, Han, we should probably get to bed." Aria said.

"Yes. Go get some sleep." Spencer said, looking at Hanna. "I don't want to listen to you bitch about being tired all day."

Hanna mock glared at Spencer before leaving the room with Aria.

"I hope Hanna will be able to contain her excitement tomorrow." Emily laughed.

"Yeah. Really." Spencer laughed, too. "She's a real piece of work, isn't she?"

"She sure is...but you know, I'm actually really proud of you." Emily said.

"Why's that?" Spencer asked.

"Because Hanna's kinda been giving you a hard time and you haven't lost your temper."

"I don't let it bother me. I'd actually be worried if Hanna wasn't constantly torturing me."

"Me too." Emily laughed. "You know she means well though..."

"I know she does...she's just very...shall we say, outspoken?"

"Yes she is and so are you...but that's just one of the many things I love about both of you."

Spencer walked over to Emily and wrapped her arms around her girlfriend's waist and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"I'm gonna go get ready for bed." Emily said as she pulled away from Spencer and disappeared into the bathroom.

When Emily came back into the room she found Spencer lying on the bed with the blanket pulled up to her neck.

"You should come to bed." Spencer said, making eye contact with Emily.

"Do you have any clothes on under there?" Emily asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Spencer smirked. "Why don't you come find out for yourself?"

Emily walked over to the bed and yanked the blanket off of Spencer's body, realizing that Spencer was wearing a pair of shorts and sports bra.

"You just talk a big game…you aren't even naked."

"Disappointed?" Spencer laughed.

"Maybe." Emily said as she got in bed next to Spencer. "Can you turn the air conditioning off...it's cold in here."

"I really don't wanna get up." Spencer groaned. "You do it."

"Please?" Emily said, smiling sweetly at Spencer. "I'm freezing."

"I think I can fix that without getting out of bed." Spencer smirked as she moved closer to Emily and kissed her passionately. "Let's heat up these sheets, I'll make you sweat, baby." Spencer said in a deep, sexy and partially joking tone.

Emily laughed and rolled her eyes as she playfully pushed Spencer's shoulder. "Just turn the air conditioning off...it's late we need to get some sleep."

"Fine." Spencer groaned. "But you're very cruel, you know that?"

Emily chuckled slightly as Spencer slid out of bed and walked over to the thermostat on the wall by the bathroom. Spencer then turned the light off on the night stand and got back into bed.

"Thank you." Emily said as she slid closer to Spencer and wrapped her arms around the brunette. "I love you."

"I love you too." Spencer said as she leaned in and placed a light kiss on Emily's lips. "Good night."
