Spencer woke with a jolt. The sunlight streamed through the window, onto her face. 'Damn sunlight.' Spencer thought to herself. Stretching, she noticed Ashley wasn't lying next to her. "Ashley?" Spencer sat up quickly. "Ashley?' She said again as her heart began to pound.

Spencer looked around for any signs of Ashley and noticed a note on the alarm clock. Snatching it up off the clock, Spencer read.

Spence - Sorry about not being there when you woke up, but I don't think your parents would appreciate walking in on us sleeping, in the same room, in the same bed, and me being uninvited. Thank you for being there for me... See you later.

Love, Ashley

Spencer read it again, looking at the handwriting, imagining Ashley's slender hand forming each and every letter, stringing together every word with the stroke of her hand. Spencer marveled at her handwriting, thinking that it reflected her personality. Cool. Calm. Collective. That was Ashley

Setting the note down, Spencer got up and in the shower. A half hour later Spencer emerged at the breakfast table downstairs to join her family. Her dad sat at the counter, sipping his coffee and reading his newspaper. Glen was scarfing down pancakes and bacon, while Clay, on the other hand was calmly eating his food while reading a book entitled 'Advanced Physics'. Her mother was nowhere in sight.

"Where's mom?" Spencer asked as she kissed her dad on the cheek and proceeded to get breakfast for herself.

"She had to go in early this morning. Do some 'extra work' as she put it." Arthur scoffed, he didn't really believe his wife sometimes.

"Do you ever stop doing your homework, Clay?" Spencer asked as she sat at the table with a plate piled with pancakes, bacon, and a biscuit. Spencer just shrugged when Clay just nodded and acknowledged that Spencer spoke, and poured syrup all over her pancakes.

"So what are your plans for today, Spence?" Her dad, Arthur, asked.

"Well, I was hoping, since it is Saturday, that I could spend the day with Ashley, and be home around 7ish." Spencer said with a sweet innocent smile towards her dad.

He sipped his coffee, and flipped the page to his newspaper. "Sure, why not." He said in a matter-of-factly tone.

"Oh daddy, I love you." Spencer squealed and returned to eating her breakfast. When she was done, she hurried up to her room to call Ashley.

On the phone: Ring, Ring, Ring

Ashley: Hello?

Spencer: Hey Ash!

Ashley: Hey Spence, what's up?

Spencer: Not much, do you wanna hang out today?

Ashley: You know it! Want me to pick you up?

Spencer: Yes, please and thank you!

Ashley: Ok, I'll be there in about 10 minutes.

Spencer: Ok, see you then

Both: Bye!

Ashley set down the phone and smiled to herself. 'Looks like things are going to go well after all.' She thought to herself as she grabbed her keys and headed towards the door.

Ashley arrived at Spencer's house almost exactly 10 minutes after she hung up the phone. Spencer was sitting on the porch, waiting for her to get there so she could leave this 'shit hole' as she liked to think of it, even though it was her home…. She preferred Ashley's bed over hers anytime (not that she'd ever admit that to Ashley herself). She smiled when she saw Ashley's car drive up. Getting up, she walked over to her car, a huge smile plastered on her face.

"Hey," she said as she opened the door and sat down. "Where do you want to go, we can go anywhere you want." Spencer said as she pulled on her seatbelt. Ashley put the car in drive and drove away from the 'Brady House'.

"Anywhere?" She inquired with a smirk.

"Anywhere."

A/N Ok, I know this one is short, but I just want to give you guys a little more to read before I get into the heavier stuff. Aiden and Madison are going to come in sooner or later. PLEASR REVIEW! It gives me incentive to write more efficiently. I got 145 hits and one review on the last chapter…. Somehow that doesn't add up….
