Okay this chapter is basically my twist of the episode Shake Rattle N Roll with the earthquake n everything. I wrote this chapter before I even saw the episode. I only saw like the previews n web exclusive or whatever. So there will be some likeness but certainly with my own twist. Especially with the earthquake.
Thanks to all that replied.
Enjoy!

The next day at lunch, Spencer and Ashley are sitting at a table eating their lunch.
Ashley: "I can't believe Mrs. Ardagna took my cell phone and ipod away."
Spencer: "Why did she take it away?"
Ashley: "Cause she is an old fart."
Spencer: "No really."
Ashley: "It went off during class and she said she had enough of cell phones and walked up to me and told me to give it to her. I pull out my cell phone from my bag and she sees my ipod and takes that too."
Spencer: "Ouch damn. She doesn't like you."
Ashley: "Nope. Not at all. I want my stuff back."
Spencer: "Then get it back."
Ashley: "You know what I will."
Spencer: "I was kidding. How are you going to do that?"
Ashley has an evil smile on her face.
Spencer: "I don't like that smile."
Ashley: "Oh I'm going to get my stuff back for sure. It shouldn't be too hard. I know how to pick a lock."
Spencer: "Woah say what?"
Ashley: "What."
Spencer: "You're not going to do anything stupid are you? You can't get suspended again. Your life will be hell."
Ashley: "Then I guess I won't get caught. And I'm not going to do this by myself."
Spencer: "And who is going to do it with you?"
Ashley: "My favorite person in the whole wide world."
Spencer: "And that is who? Cause it can't be me cause there is no way I would get involve."
Ashley: "oh its you alright."
Spencer: "Me? I am not going to do anything stupid just for your cell phone and ipod."
Ashley: "But you don't understand. My dad was actually going to call me on my cell phone sometime this week. I can't talk to him if I don't have my cell phone."
Spencer: "So he can call you at your house phone."
Ashley: "But he won't. Just in case the off chance that my mom picks up the phone. Like she will be home to pick it up, he still won't call home."
Spencer: "I don't know…."
Ashley: "Spencer please. This is my chance to talk to my dad. It has been a month since I heard his voice. I think I'm forgetting what his voice sounds like."
Spencer: "Fine.When?"
Ashley: "Later on today maybe 6ish, when everyone is gone."
Spencer: "Fine."
--
Later on around 6, Spencer and Ashley are slowly but quickly walking down the hallway to Ashley's class.
Spencer-in a whisper-: "I can't believe I'm doing this."
Ashley: "Oh be quiet and come on."
The two finally make it to Ashley's class, Ashley picks the lock and the door opens.
Spencer: "How did you do that?"
Ashley: "I'm not an innocent angel."
Ashley walks in the classroom and closes the door slightly.
Ashley: "Just stay out here and make sure no one is coming."
Before she could protest she turns around and there is a security guard staring down at her. Spencer eyes widen."
Spencer: "Hello Mr. Security guard person!
Ashley hears Spencer and ducks out of view.
Spencer: "How is your evening?"
Guard: "It was good until I found a girl breaking and entering."
Spencer: "I'm not breaking and entering."
Guard: "Oh is there someone in there?"
Spencer closes the door and faces the guard.
Spencer: "Okay maybe I was sort of breaking and entering. But technically, I didn't break anything and I didn't enter."
Guard: "Yet."
Spencer doesn't say anything.
Guard: "Alright you're coming with me. Let's go."
Spencer reluctantly starts walking with the Guard to the office. Ashley quickly grabs her cell phone and ipod and quietly walks out of the room. Spencer looks behind her to see Ashley walking out of the room. Ashley's mouths "you didn't do anything" and points to herself and mouths "I did". Spencer frowns, shrugs, and turns her head and continues to follow the guard to the office.
--
Arthur picked up Spencer from school after getting a call from the office. They are walking to the car.
Arthur: "Suspended! For attempting to breaking and entering. How did that happen?"
Spencer doesn't answer.
Arthur: "You're going to have to tell me what happens so I can understand and not ground you for 2 months."
Spencer: "I had Ashley's cell phone with me and it went off in class and she took it and I had to get it back."
Arthur: "So you were going to steal it."
Spencer: "Ashley was going to have a call from her dad sometime this week and she needed her phone."
Arthur: "So you tried to steal it back for her."
Spencer: "Yeah or she was going to do it herself. She had more to lose if she gets caught."
Arthur: "She could of just went to the office with one of her parents and get it back."
Spencer: "Her parents suck. They are never home. Are you mad?"
Arthur: "A little bit but I can understand where you were coming from. And was Ashley here to help you."
Spencer: "No I acted alone."
But Spencer's dad saw right through that lie.
Arthur: "Okay."
Spencer: "Am I grounded?"
Arthur: "I think being suspended for 3 days is punishment enough. Just think of all the work you're going to have to make up. Yeah, catching back up will be punishment enough."
Spencer: "Argh yeah. Thanks Dad."
Arthur: "I don't know if your mom will totally understand as me but make sure Ashley's cell phone was the only part of Ashley involved in this."
Spencer: "Alright."
Arthur and Spencer get into the car and drive home.
--
The two Carlin members enter the household. Spencer goes upstairs and Arthur tells Paula the news in the living room.
Paula: "Suspended!"
Arthur: "Paula calm down. It's only for 3 days."
Paula: "Only! That will probably go on her permanent record. What will colleges think?"
Arthur: "Its 3 days and with Spencer's grades they will overlook the 3 days suspension."
Paula: "Why did she get suspended anyway?"
Arthur: "Breaking and entering. Well attempted to."
Paula: "WHAT!"
Arthur: "She needed to get something back for someone that she got taken away from her."
Paula: "I bet it had something to do with that Ashley girl."
Arthur: "…It was Ashley's cell phone she had to get it back."
Paula: "Psh. I knew it. I do not like our daughter hanging out with that lost girl. She is probably the one who put her up to this."
Arthur: "No she didn't."
Paula: "I'm going to have a talk to her. Have you punished her?"
Arthur: "I saw no point in punishing her. I think a 3 day suspension is punishment enough."
Paula: "I'm going to have a talk to her."
Arthur: "Paula don't. She has had a long day".
Paula: "Fine….I'll talk to her tomorrow. And I do not like how calm you are about this and I don't appreciate you giving me a tone of voice that makes me feel like I am at the wrong here."
Paula walks upstairs, goes into her room and closes the door. Arthur sits down on the couch and puts his head to his hands.
---------------
The next day, Ashley comes over to Spencer's house and is now sitting on her bed while Spencer is on her stomach looking up at her.
Ashley: "Are you sure you don't want me to confess to the break in?"
Spencer: "Yeah, I'm sure. I would get in trouble with my mom anyways if she found out I lied and things will just get deeper and my mom will dislike you even more when she finds out the whole truth."
Ashley: "True."
Spencer: "And 3 days at home can have its benefits. I can catch up on my beauty sleep."
Ashley: "Which you really need."
Spencer: "Hey!"
Spencer grabs her pillow and hits Ashley with it. They laugh.
Ashley: "I can't believe you're okay with this. I mean you didn't do anything. I did."
Spencer: "It's okay. This one is on me but you owe me."
Ashley: "Definitely."
Spencer smiles and Ashley smiles back. They didn't know what else to do but smile.
Ashley: "Thank you Spence."
Spencer: "For what?"
Ashley: "For everything. I use to think no one cared what happened to me until I met you."
Spencer: "Woah who said I care what happens to you."
Ashley frowns.
Spencer: "I'm totally kidding babe."
Ashley smiles and Spencer smiles back. Ashley wasn't deaf. She heard the 'babe' comment. A couple of moments pass and the ground slowly starts shaking and then starts shaking harder.
Spencer: "What's going on!"
Glen burst into the room.
Glen: "What the hell is that!"
Ashley: "Earthquake! Doorway now!"
Ashley grabs Spencer's hand and Ashley, Spencer, and Glen get under the doorway.
-----------
Meanwhile, Arthur is in the kitchen when he realizes its an earthquake.
Arthur: "That's an earthquake."
Arthur tries to stop the kitchen appliances from falling on the floor.
----------
Paula feels the earthquake while at the hospital.
Paula: "Is that an Earthquake?"
Nurse: "Welcome to LA."
----------
In the school parking lot, Clay and Sean are in Sean's car when the earthquake hits.
Clay: "What's going on? Why is everyone running?"
Sean: "Must be an earthquake. We can't feel it because we are driving."
Clay: "Oh no. You have to take me home now!"
Sean: "Alright man."
Spencer is pressed against Glen and Ashley is up against Spencer's back with her head on the back of Spencer's neck and her hand on Spencer's arm. Spencer has her eyes close and a bad experience from when she was really little started to fill her mind. The earthquake starts slowly slowing down and then stops.
Ashley: "Is everyone alright?"
Glen: "Yeah."
Spencer slowly moves to the foot of her bed and sits against it with her legs to her stomach. Spencer lays her forehead against her knees and keeps her eyes close. The whole scary feeling she once experience filled her body.
Ashley: "Spence, are you okay?"
But Spencer couldn't hear her. She was reliving a bad experience when she was 7.
