In a turned off car, Ashley can see an unknown woman, with her arms wrapped around a man. The man turns to his left and Ashley gasps. The man that she was looking at saw her and stopped what he was doing. Ashley quickly put her car in drive and peeled through the intersection. She was so dumbfounded, she was even talking out loud.

Ashley: I can't believe this. Should I go back and tell her? Should I just let her find out on her own? What should I do?

+SPENCER'S ROOM+

After being dropped off by Ashley, Spencer had gone up to her room to finish her homework. She seemed too distracted by the thought of last night's scene, that she gave up on her homework and called Ashley.

Ashley: Hey.
Spencer: Hey, so... tomorrow's that stupid Clean-Up Day at school, isn't it?
Ashley: Ugh. Yeah, (says sarcastically) thanks for reminding me.
Spencer: Oh, you're very welcome. I know how much you like to pick up glorious trash.
Ashley: Oh yeah, you know me too well. Anyway, isn't that what the janitors are for?
Spencer: Yeah, you'd think.
Ashley: So basically, they're getting paid for us doing their job? That's crap!
Spencer: (laughs) I love how you see things. (laughs again)
Ashley: (faint laugh) Yeah, so what are you up to?
Spencer: Well, I was doing my homework but I got... sidetracked.
Ashley: By what?
Spencer: Do you really have to ask?
Ashley: (laughs) No, I guess not.
(SILENCE)
Ashley: Hey, Spence?
Spencer: Yeah?
Ashley: Never mind. We'll talk about it tomorrow while we're picking up all that wonderful trash.
Spencer: What is it? Just tell me.
Ashley: Naw, I'll just wait.
Spencer: (dragging the word out) Okay. Oh hey, I got to go, my dad just came in and I think he's got food.
Ashley: Alright. Have a good time with your dad. even though he's keeping something from you
Spencer: Okay, see you tomorrow.
Ashley: Okay, bye.
Spencer: (quick pause) I love you.
Ashley: (pauses) I love you, too.

She hangs up on her conversation with Ashley and immediately goes downstairs to join her father.

Spencer sees her dad in the kitchen with a red and white checker boarded pizza box on the counter and he is splashing water all over his face and he is also breathing deeply. She stops halfway down the stairs and just watches her dad's actions.

Spencer: (quietly to herself) What's he doing?

She walks the rest of the way down the stairs and into the kitchen. Opening up the pizza box, she decides to speak.

Spencer: Hey, Dad. What are you doing?
Arthur: (startled) Oh! Hey, Spence. Umm... nothing. Just washing up. (he has water dripping off his face)
Spencer: (shifting her eyes) Oh, okay. Where is everyone?
Arthur: Umm, Glen is out at Gray with Madison and Clay's at the Retro-Spect with Sean and Boz.
Spencer: What about Mom?
Arthur: (looks away) Your guess is as good as mine.
Spencer: (uneasy laugh) Is -- everything okay between you guys?
Arthur: Yeah, you're mom and I do have some unresolved issues, but -- we're good.
Spencer: Are you sure?
Arthur: Yeah. Don't worry about us, Spence.
Spencer: Okay.

Arthur hugs his daughter and they sit down to enjoy their pizza.

Once done, Spencer remembered that she still had her massive amount of homework to do. So she went upstairs, finished it and then drifted off to sleep.

The next day at school, Ashley and Spencer were walking through the hallway; not holding hands, but Ashley had her right palm just touching Spencer's left palm, but their fingers weren't linked.

Spencer: This is an awkward way of holding hands.
Ashley: It's a tease. See, it makes you want to hold my hand. Doesn't it?
Spencer: (looks at Ashley's lips) Yeah, and -- something else.

Spencer grab Ashley's other hand and leaned in to kiss her, but Ashley backed up.

Ashley: Spencer, what are you doing?
Spencer: (backs away) Come on, Ash. I'm tired of hiding it. I want to kiss you in public, at school, wherever. I just -- I'm ready to tell.
Ashley: Are you sure you're ready?
Spencer: (takes a step closer to Ashley) Yeah. (gets even closer) I'm absolutely positive.

Ashley let go of Spencer's hand and put her now free hand on Spencer's cheek and gave her a deep, passionate kiss on the lips. They held that position for a minute or two, until Spencer was tapped on the shoulder.
