Kara sat in the corner of the room, drinking some punch, as her thoughts turned to Ali. She knew that if the blonde was here she would be finding some way for the both of them to have some fun, and probably some mischief. She missed her like crazy. All of a sudden her phone rang, and she smiled to see it was Jason calling her.
"Hey, how's the party going?" He asked.
"About as fun as you'd expect seeing as it's in a church. How's the sibling bonding?" Kara questioned.
"Better than expected. I think we just found some evidence to put Garrett away for a very long time" Jason told her.
"What? How?" Kara inquired.
"I figured out what April Rose meant, it's an antique store. We went inside and Spencer spotted this bracelet Ali wore which never took off and we've handed it into the police" Jason explained.
"That's great. Hopefully they'll be competent enough to find something" Kara exclaimed.
"Kara, c'mon!" Hanna called out to her from near a door.
"Go on, I'll catch you up" Kara replied.
"Who was that?" Jason queried.
"Hanna. We're trying to find out who A is, it's a long story" Kara stated.
"Be careful" Jason announced.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine" Kara insisted, as she suddenly saw Wilden entering the room Hanna just went into.
"Crap" Kara mumbled.
"What's wrong?" Jason inquired.
"I'll call you back" Kara cut him off, as she hung up and rushed into the room.
"I've got to go" Hanna snapped at Wilden who was blocking her way.
"Hey!" Kara shouted, shocking them both.
"Aren't you supposed to not talk to us unless we have an adult present" Kara spat out as she approached him.
"We were just having a chat" Wilden retorted.
"C'mon Han" Kara exclaimed, pulling her along.
Kara was surprised when Hanna ran into her bedroom the next morning, and woke her up.
"What's going on? Sleeping" Kara grumbled, refusing to open her eyes.
"They're dropping the case against Garrett!" Hanna cried.
"What?!" Kara asked, immediately awake.
"The bracelet that Spencer and Jason handed in yesterday had two different people's blood on it. Ali's and someone else's. It's not Garrett's" Hanna informed her.
"Oh no" Kara sighed, knowing Jason would be taking this badly.
"That's why "A" wants Garrett out of jail, so I can take his place" Hanna theorized after Wilden had all but accused her of killing Alison.
"Okay, don't go there" Emily told her.
"It's already past there, Emily. He knows about the note, he caught me at church, and it's my blood type" Hanna went on.
"So what? You didn't kill anybody" Aria assured her.
"Wilden said that Ali's family's been slamming him. Have you talked to Jason?" Hanna questioned Spencer.
"No, I can't even look him in the eye, but I'm gonna talk to him today" Spencer replied.
"I wouldn't. He's in a terrible mood. He thinks it's all his fault and that his family hates him. Ugh, its not fair, he was just trying to help" Kara cried, as Aria put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"Han, don't worry, there's nothing they can do. Until your mom gets back tomorrow" Emily advised Hanna.
"So what? I have 48 hours left of freedom?" Hanna asked.
"Maybe Spencer's mom can block the court order" Emily suggested.
"You guys, what if it is my blood?" Hanna inquired.
"How? Seriously, how could somebody take your blood and you wouldn't even know it?" Aria queried.
"Emily has a whole night that she doesn't remember" Hanna retorted.
"Han, wait, you need to-" Spencer started, but Hanna cut her off.
"I can't talk about this anymore. I have to go to school" Hanna told them, walking away.
"Maybe one of us should call her mom" Aria announced, as they entered the grill.
"I don't think her mom can have any more pull with Wilden. This isn't shoplifting" Spencer began.
"Take it from me, you're always better off with a really good lie" A feminine voice drifted through the air.
"Is it just me, or did that sound a lot like..." Emily trailed off, as they turned around to look at a blonde.
"Alison" They all answered, staring at the woman who turned around.
"Something wrong?" She asked, when she saw them staring.
"Oh, no. Sorry. Wow, you just sound a lot like one of our friends" Aria confessed, as she approached.
"Hope she's brilliant. What's her name?" The woman questioned.
"Alison DiLaurentis" Aria replied.
"You were friends of Ali's...Me too. I'm Cece" She admitted.
"Spencer" She offered.
"Melissa Hasting's little sister. Ali talked about you. She talked about all of you. A lot" Cece explained.
"Funny, she never mentioned you" Kara exclaimed, as Cece glanced at her.
"How do you know Ali?" Emily queried.
"Before I moved to L.A., our families rented summer homes in Cape May. We went through an intense couple weeks together. I dated her brother, Jason" Cece told them.
"You dated Jason?" Kara asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yep" Cece said, with a smirk.
"She was going through such a rough time, like a broken doll" Cece went on.
"So why did you move back to Rosewood?" Spencer smiled.
"Listen, I hate to make tracks, but I'm already late, and my boss is high-strung and aggressively sober. Come visit me at the new boutique. Across the street. Oh, and if you ever feel like doing. A little free shopping, I'll be happy to turn the other way" Cece smiled at Aria.
"I-I think you're thinking of Hanna. She's not here" Aria clarified.
"Oh" Cece sighed, as she walked away.
"Okay, that's not just me, right? I mean, that chick is freakishly like Ali" Aria stated.
"Or was Ali freakishly like her? I mean, one hip out, the head tilt" Spencer suggested, as Kara nodded.
"Looking straight through you, like she knew all your secrets" Emily added.
"Being a bitch" Kara mumbled, as the girls raised an eyebrow at her.
"What?" Kara asked, innocently.
Author's Notes: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! So Cece has finally been introduced and I don't think her and Kara are going to get along very well. I just love Kara's bitchy side too much. Please leave a review:)
