After the first half of school was let out for lunch, Ashley went to her and Spencer's usual lunch table. She waited for what seemed like thirty-five minutes, but in reality, it was only like five. But to Ashley, five minutes without Spencer seemed like an eternity.

Ashley: (looking at her watch) Where is she?

Just then, Aiden walks by and offers Ashley half of his bologna sandwich.

Aiden: Do you want the rest?
Ashley: (not really paying attention to him) No.
Aiden: Why not?
Ashley: Because, for two reasons: Reason #1 - I don't eat processed meat and Reason #2 - I'm not in the mood. (pauses to catch her breath) Besides, do you know where Spencer is?
Aiden: (widens his eyes) Oh, man. You didn't hear about it?

Ashley's stomach dropped at Aiden's last sentence. For some reason, she had a horrible gut feeling.

Ashley: Hear about what?
Aiden: Dude, Spencer passed out -- (enunciates his next words) in - the - Chemistry - Lab.
Ashley: (gasps) Oh my God! Is she okay?
Aiden: The doctors don't know.
Ashley: (gasps again) There's doctors?
Aiden: (laughs) Naw... I'm just playing.

Ashley punches Aiden in the left shoulder and it almost knocks him off the bench.

Aiden: Ouch! Man, why are you so violent, Davies?
Ashley: A girl has to be, when she deals with guys like you.

She gets up and heads towards the office; in search of her blonde companion.

Aiden: (yells to Ashley) She's in the nurse's office!

Now alone, Aiden sits quietly -- finishing off his last bit of his bologna sandwich.

As Ashley's walking around the corner of the office, she can hear the sweet sound that is Spencer's voice.

Spencer: No, I don't need my parents -- (sounding annoyed) I'm fine!
Ashley: God, she's amazing when she's upset

Ashley walks in the nurse's office and sees Spencer standing next to the nurse; with her hands on her hips.

Spencer has a very stern look upon her face and her lips are pressed tightly together.

Ashley: (trying to sound concerned; yet not too clingy) Spencer, are you okay?
Spencer: (smiles and hugs Ashley) Yeah, Ash. I'm fine. It's just that these people think they should call my parents and tell them what happened. But I don't need my parents, because I'm perfectly fine.
Ashley: yes, you are perfectly fine!

Ashley quietly giggled to herself at the comment she privately made and Spencer looked at her like she was crazy.

Spencer: Are you okay, Ash?
Ashley: (stops laughing) Huh? Oh... yeah. I'm fine, too. (looks at the nurse) Look, I think Miss Carlin, here, is good to go. And -- (to Spencer) if you want, I can take you home. (gives Spencer a cute little wink)

Spencer doesn't understand Ashley's concept at first, but then catches on.

Spencer: (lowers her eyebrows and then quickly raises them) Oh -- Ahh, yeah. Sure. If it's okay with your... mom.
Ashley: I'm loving this game! Oh, it'll be a stretch, but -- I think I can get her to... come around.

Spencer just slyly smiles at Ashley; leaving her with rosy red cheeks.

Nurse: Well, (claps her hands together) now that that's settled! (smiles) So, I'm guessing that you girls need a pass to leave?
Ashley: That would be -- just swell, Nurse Lady.

Spencer lightly elbows Ashley in the ribs, sending a ticklish sensation throughout Ashley's body.

She scooted away from Spencer and gave her a look meaning to say, "What was that for?"

Spencer: (whispering) 'Swell'? (narrows her eyes)
Ashley: (whispers) What? (lightly giggles)

The nurse comes back with two yellow slips that read:

- Miss Davies and Miss Carlin have my permission to leave the school grounds; on account of Miss Carlin fainting during a Chemistry Lab assignment. Miss Davies will be accompanying her home.

- Nurse Gina

She hands the two girls their passes, they take them and leave their school to "go home".

Once in Ashley's car, the girls hysterically laughed about their tactic to get out of that hell hole of a school.

Spencer: (between laughs) I can't believe she fell for all that crap.
Ashley: (giggles) I know. I know. We seriously need to join the drama club.
Spencer: (laughs only once) You're joking, right?
Ashley: (looks at Spencer all serious) Umm, hello? Spence, you're talking to Ashley here. The most anti-social person you will probably ever meet.
Spencer: Okay, I was just checking.

Ashley laughs for a few more seconds before asking Spencer a quick question.

Ashley: So, where -- do you want to go now?
Spencer: (smiles) I don't know. Where do you want to go?
Ashley: Hmm, maybe we could go get something to eat and then -- go some place... quiet.
Spencer: Sure, but -- what place is quiet in L.A.?
Ashley: Well, my place is pretty quiet. Seeing as how there's never anyone home.
Spencer: (shakes her head: up and down and then smiles) Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
Ashley: So, my house, it is?
Spencer: Yeah, your house, it is!

After that last sentence, Spencer could actually feel the car accelerate in the direction of a corner deli; where they would get their lunch and then head on over to their "quiet place" -- a.k.a. their Point B.

A/N: Hey, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who is a fan of this fic! It truly wouldn't be a "FanFiction" if you guys weren't involved! Thanks, again!
