Next chapter will be the ending of this mini story. I'll try to update soon, but, I can't promise anything. Anyway, this chapter will start some days after the previews one.
NOTE: In parenthesis, it's to describe the scene, to locate us in the place. Also, please take note that in this story: the beast = Alison = white wolf = wolf...
I hope it's clear, and, I'll put some notes at the end of the chapter for some clarifications if it's necessary. Thank you if you've the time to leave a review, see u soon!
In love with the Beast - 4
(In the Fields House)
Everything looked the same after Wayne's departure, but, Alison could sense that the brunette wasn't really the same. Normally, Alison DiLaurentis doesn't care how the others feel, but, for a reason Alison can't understand, she cares, a lot, about how Emily feels. And, that's why...
Emily was in her room, looking through the window, with her gaze settled far away, when she felt something on her leg and she says. - "Stop pulling from my pants! What are you doing?!"
The wolf that has become her best friend doesn't stop pulling out from Emily's pants in order to make her move. The brunette has no idea of what her furry friend has in mind, but...
Emily. - "Okay, okay, okay... I'll follow you... it's that what you want, right?"
The wolf nods with a big smile, and, just like that, they get out of the house...
(In the forest)
Emily loved the nature, that's something she got from her Dad. Walking in between big trees, breathing the pure air, hearing the birds. This is what she needed to feel better...
Emily pats the wolf's head and says. - "Thank you, I really needed this..."
Alison's thoughts. - "And, this is just the beginning... follow me, I want to show you something..."
The wolf guides them to a beautiful waterfall, Emily grins when she sees the crystal running water...
Emily mumbles with a big smile. - "You really know me..."
The wolf smiles, Alison smiles, because she really has put attention on what the brunette likes: swimming, water, running, nature, pizza, Disney's movies... in her mind, Alison makes a big list of all the things that Emily likes, and, Alison stays astonished when she realizes that she knows that much about the brunette...
Alison's thoughts. - "Why I know so much about her...? It's not like we know each other since forever... so, why...? Why I know what she likes, what she doesn't like...? Why I care to remember every single detail about her...? Why cheering her up is so damn important for me...? Why...?"
The beast is lost in its thoughts, so lost in its mind, that, the wolf is caught off guard when Emily holds it in her arms, and, jumps into the water with the furry animal...
Emily smiles. - "Yippi!"
Alison's thoughts. - "What the fuck?!" (Touch with the water) "Fuck! It's cold!"
As soon as they touch the water, the furry wolf rushes towards the edge and gets out, it was too cold for Alison's taste...
Emily. - "C'mon, Ali! Don't be like that! Get in the water with me!"
Alison's thoughts. - "Hell, no! It's fucking cold!"
The wolf is shaking, Emily approaches to the edge, towards the rocks where her furry wet friend is standing, the brunette doesn't get out of the water, she just stretches her arm and caresses the wolf...
Emily teases. - "You know, a little shower wouldn't be bad for you..."
Alison's thoughts. - "Shut up..."
Emily chuckles. - "C'mon, what do you say, Ali? Swim with me...?"
The wolf stays on the edge, it slowly gets closer to the water, and, for a second, Emily really thought that the beast was going to jump in, but, Alison was just playing with her, in the end, the wolf just shakes its furry body, splashing water. Emily chuckles, covering her face from the water droplets, and, just like that, once again, Alison has the power to make Emiliy feel better...
Alison stood on the edge, staring at the beautiful mermaid swimming, and, for Alison, this will always be one of her favorite memories...
(Later at Emily's room)
Emily sneezes
Alison's thoughts. - "I told you, it was too cold..."
The brunette sneezes again, she's shaking, she will probably get a cold for swimming in cold waters, but, she doesn't care, she loved it, every second of it...
Alison's thoughts. - "Get under the covers, you need to get warmer..."
Like if Emily could read Alison's thoughts, the brunette puts on her pajamas and gets under her sheets. The brunette smiles when she sees the wolf using its teeth to pull the covers and tuck her into bed...
Emily snuggles and smiles. - "Thanks, Ali..."
The wolf smiles
Emily stretches her arm and says. - "Hey, Ali. Bring me that book that's over there... please..."
The wolf brings the book with its mouth, and, Emily caresses the wolf's head while she opens the book...
Emily. - "I love books, especially storybooks..."
Alison's thoughts. - "Really? I love books too, they..."
Alison's thoughts and Emily say at the same time. - "They let you travel to magical places..."
Alison's thoughts. - "How do you...?" (She stares at the brunette and thinks) "How do you always know what I'm going to think...?"
The wolf is shocked to find out that Emily has the same affinity for books than her, and, somehow, this makes Emily more special in Alison's heart...
Emily hugs the wolf, forcing it to stay at her side and says. - "Let me read it to you... Once upon a time..."
Alison is no fan of storybooks, she's more into novels, historical books, but, somehow, with Emily's sweet voice, she can sees that storybooks are not so bad after all. The brunette starts reading, the wolf snuggles into Emily's embrace, and, Emily does the same...
Alison's thoughts. - "I like this... this is nice... this is good..." (She closes her eyes) "This is perfect..."
Some hours later, Pam checks on Emily, and, the old woman chuckles when she sees her daughter sleeping, with a book in her hands and a sleeping wolf at her side...
Pam smiles. - "Oh, you two; always side by side..."
And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own. It's so peculiar how destiny plays its cards, but, let's just wait and see... There may be something there that wasn't there before...
(Another night, at Alison's mansion)
Because there was no full moon, Alison was in her mansion, like a human. She was in her room, looking at the enchanted rose, at the petals that were slowly falling. There was no much time...
Spencer. - "Ali, are you here...?"
No answer, so, Spencer decides to go upstairs, and, like always, when they reach Alison's room, they find the door locked...
Spencer. - "Ali, we need to talk, open the door..."
Alison replies without moving. - "Leave me alone, Spence..."
The girls look at each other, they don't know what to do, but, they decide to stay and talk to Alison through the door...
Aria. - "The Ice ball is coming..."
Hanna. - "Yeah, they're already selling the tickets..."
Spencer. - "Ali, this is your chance to ask her out..."
Alison frowns. - "Ask her out...? Who...?"
Spencer. - "Emily!"
Alison blushes. - "Emily...?"
Aria. - "I asked, she hasn't a date for the ball..."
Alison presses her lips together...
Hanna. - "There's no full moon the night of the ball, so, you can be yourself..."
Alison mumbles to herself. - "Be myself..." (She shakes her head) "No, no... she... she..." (Sighs) "She likes the wolf, not me..."
The blonde is really hard to open up, and, the girls don't know what to say to get her out of her room...
Hanna gives a nudge with her elbow to Spencer and says to the brunette. - "Hey! Say something to her!"
Spencer whispers. - "Why me?!"
Aria. - "Because between the three of us, she always talks more with you..."
And, it wasn't a lie, maybe it was because they were cousins, or maybe because Alison knows that Spencer is the only family she has left that really cares about her...
Aria grabs Hanna from the arm and says. - "We will leave you alone, talk with her..."
Spencer sighs deeply, she can't see her friends, but, she can hear their steps while they walk away. Using her skills to open doors, Spencer gets inside the room. Alison sees her from the corner of her eyes, in another time, she would snap against her badly, and, forbidden her to put a foot in the room, but, somehow, she doesn't feel the need to do it. It was like all that anger she had in her heart was vanishing, little by little... she wonders why...?
Spencer walks blindly, she almost falls when she trips with something that was on the floor, but, Alison catches her before the brunette could get any harm...
Alison asks. - "Are you okay...?"
Spencer raises an eyebrow. - "You caught me before I fell down...? You helped me...?"
The blonde is acting kind, and, Spencer is not used to it... neither Alison...
Alison sits Spencer on the edge of her bed and says. - "Don't put too much thought about it, it's not a big deal..."
Spencer smirks. - "Not a big deal? Please, I can't remember the last time you did something to help me without having a hidden agenda..."
Alison gulps hard, Spencer is right, everything she did was a calculated move, like in chess, Alison didn't move a finger if it wasn't for her own benefit...
Spencer gulps. - "Sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Alison cuts her off. - "It's okay, you're right. I... I'm not kind..."
Spencer. - "You're kind, Ali. You just don't show it..."
Alison doesn't believe it really, but, she smiles when Spencer said it...
Spencer smiles. - "You're changing... I can feel it..."
Alison doesn't say a word. She can feel it, she can feel that something inside her is not the same, but, she's too afraid to admit it...
Spencer. - "You're scared..."
Alison chuckles. - "You know, you might be blind now, but, you're more perceptive than ever..."
Spencer smiles, she takes it as a compliment
Alison takes a deep breath and talks from the heart. - "I... I'm thinking that maybe the best for me, it's to stay as a wolf..."
Spencer frowns. - "WHAT?! WHY?!"
The blonde doesn't need to say why, Spencer has a very clear idea of whom is the reason for this change of heart...
Spencer. - "Do you really believe that becoming a wolf for the rest of your life, it will make you happy...?"
Alison. - "She makes me happy... being at her side, it makes me happy..."
Spencer. - "But, Ali...!"
Alison. - "She likes the wolf, Spence..."
Spencer. - "That's because she doesn't know you..."
Alison rolls her eyes, she knows that Spencer is right, she hasn't really contacted Emily with her human form. But...
Spencer. - "Why you're so afraid of showing her your human form...?"
Alison sighs deeply, she caresses the crystal ball where the enchanted rose is in it, and, she's looking at it when...
(Noises downstairs)
Spencer. - "What is that?!"
Alison mumbles. - "Someone is here..."
Spencer gulps, scared, and, Alison notices it...
Alison. - "Stay here, I'll check what it's..."
Spencer wants to protest, but, she's paralyzed by the fear. Alison goes downstairs, without making any noise, she's very careful about not being seen, but...
Alison. - "Emily..."
It was a whisper, but, the brunette heard it, she turns around, and, looks at the blonde...
Emily smiles. - "Hi..."
How can a simple smile mean so much? How can one person mean so much...?
Alison smiles. - "Hi..."
The blonde could stare at the brunette all the time, but, something in Emily's arm, it catches Alison's attention...
Alison. - "What is that...? A picnic basket?"
Emily. - "Oh, yeah..."
The brunette timidly swings the basket, and, Alison bites her lips, she has never seen anything more charming...
Emily says with a timid voice. - "I... I brought you food..."
Alison. - "Why...?"
Emily shrugs, she doesn't know why, really, she just felt the need to do something for the blonde. She doesn't know her, but, since their 1st encounter, the blonde has always popped up in Emily's mind. This is not the 1st time that Emily sneaks inside the mansion, looking for the blonde, but, this is the 1st time that she has the chance to see Alison, once again...
Emily says with a timid voice. - "It's not too much, some leftovers of my mom's lasagna, some fruits and..."
Alison smiles. - "Thank you, you didn't have to do that..."
The brunette looks down, she smiles and blushes because Alison is staring at her with such warm look, that, Emily is not able to see the blonde directly in the eyes...
Emily. - "Have you had dinner, already?"
Alison shakes her head. - "No..."
The brunette presses her lips together, she plays with her fingers and she hesitates to go for it, but, in the end...
Emily. - "Would you..." (She looks up and their eyes meet when she asks) "Would you like to eat with me...?"
Alison smiles. - "I would like that, pretty much..."
Emily smiles, both girls are smiling, and, just like that, the distance between the two of them was vanishing...
(Another night, at the mansion)
Emily. - "Why you're always using glows...?"
The blonde looks at her hands, she hesitates on being honest with her, but...
Alison. - "I... I've always cold..."
Emily. - "Oh..."
The brunette thinks that there's something else behind that answer, but, she doesn't want to push Alison to talk something that she's not ready to share. For the 3rd time in a row, they're having dinner together, Pam's cooking, it's better than the food of any fancy restaurant, and, Emily smiles happily when she sees how Alison devours everything...
Emily chuckles. - "You just eat like my wolf..."
Alison blushes, her face stained with the lasagna sauce. - "What...?!"
Emily cleans Alison's face with a napkin and says. - "It's funny, your name, your eyes, your way to eat... there are so many things in you that reminds me of my wolf..."
Alison doesn't say a word, she just avoids eye-contact.
Emily. - "Sorry, Alison, I didn't say it to make you feel bad, I..."
Alison. - "I know, I... I just..." (She doesn't want to reveal the truth, so, she changes the subject and says) "C'mon, there's something I want to show you..."
The blonde holds Emily's hand, both girls blush, but, neither of them say a word about it. They walk in silence around the mansion, and, Emily just follows the blonde, eyes glued to their hands interlaced. The brunette blushes, red like a tomato, her heart beats fast, she has no idea why. Emily has never felt this way about anyone before. And, neither Alison...
Alison. - "You're taking good care of the wolf and me... and, I... I want to do something for you..."
Emily. - "You don't have to anything to pay me back, I..."
They stop in front of a door...
Alison. - "Please, just let me do this... okay?"
Can Emily really say 'no' to those beautiful blue eyes...?
Emily nods. - "Okay..."
A big smile appears on Alison's lips. The blonde looks very excited. Emily was expecting the usual things-flowers, or, chocolates. If it's chocolates, even better, because she really likes sweet things, but, no, Alison had in mind something more... something very special... something that will spark Emily's inter-wait a minute...
Alison begins to open the door, then stops. - "Here's what I wanted to show you. But first, you have to close your eyes..."
Emiliy looks at her questioningly.
Alison. - "Please, it's a surprise..."
Emily takes a deep breath and closes her eyes. Alison waves her hand in front of her, she smiles when she realizes that Emily can't see a thing. Then, the blonde opens the door, leading Emily in...
Emily. - "Can I open them?"
Alison. - "No, no. Not yet. Wait here..."
The blonde leaves Emily in the middle of the room while she walks away to draw back the curtains, and brilliant moonlight spills into the room. Emily flinches reflexively as the light hits her face...
Emily asks. - "Now can I open them?"
Alison. - "All right. Now..."
The brunette opens her eyes and her jaw drops open when it's revealed in front of her eyes, the gigantic library of the DiLaurentis mansion, filled with books...
Emily says amazed. - "I can't believe it. I've never seen so many books in all my life!"
Alison. - "You-you like it?"
Emily. - "It's wonderful..."
Both girls are smiling, they smile more when they share their passion for the books, and, somehow, Alison's fear to get closer it's no longer present in her heart...
Emily. - "I always wanted to read this one, can you lend it to me...?"
Alison nods. - "Of course, take as many books as you want, they're all yours..."
The brunette smiles, like a kid who just got lots of candies, and, the brunette hugs the blonde with lots of affection...
Emily. - "Oh, thank you so much!"
Alison says while she grabs other books. - "Oh, you should take these too with you, they're amazing! The way the author describes each scene, it's sublime..."
The blonde talks and talks, and, Emily just stares at her, transfixed, not just by the beauty of Alison's appearance, but, by the beauty of her soul...
Emily's thoughts. - "There's something sweet, almost kind. But, she was mean, coarse and unrefined, but now she's dear and so kind. I wonder why I didn't see it there before..."
Alison's thoughts. - "She glanced this way, she's looking at me..." (blush) "She doesn't shudder when our hands touch..." (Smile and then she shakes her head) "No, it can't be... I'll just ignore..." (She looks at Emily in the eyes, the brunette smiles at her and Alison smiles while she thinks) "But then she's never looked at me that way before..."
The dinners, the talks, the hugs, the smiles... everything is so encouraging to open up, to open the heart... and, for the 1st time in her life, Alison is more than excited to go for it... but, will it be just in time...?
(Some days later, at Rosewood school)
Emily was under a tree, happily reading one of the books that Alison lent her when...
Ben. - "Hi, Emily..."
No matter how charming he's trying to be, Emily has no eyes for him, her eyes and her mind are in the book, and, it pisses him off...
Emily whines when someone takes her book away from her. - "Hey!"
Ben. - "Now, I have your attention..."
Emily rolls her eyes. - "Oh, it's you..."
Ben. - "Yes! It's me, Ben, nice to see that you remember me..."
Of course, she remembers him, Emily has never met someone more annoying than him. Ben puts the book down and sits beside Emily, he tries to put his arm around Emily, but, the brunette slids her way away from the embrace before it could happen...
Ben smirks. - "C'mon, Em! Don't be like that!"
Emily. - "My name is Emily..."
Ben. - "Fine, Emily... don't be so cold, I'm not a bad guy. I'm just full of surprises..."
He's smiling, trying to be charming, and, Emily just wants to run away, feeling disgusted. The brunette excuses herself, with the pretext that she needs to study for the next assignment, she walks away, but, Ben follows her, and, this time, he hugs Emily by the shoulders while they walk...
Ben. - "You know, Emily. There's not a girl in this town who wouldn't love to be in your shoes..."
Emily says with a sarcastic tone. - "Don't tell..."
Ben. - "And, you know what...? This is the day..." (Ben pauses by a window and licks his teeth clean)
Emily whines. - "Aggrr..."
The brunette found very disgusting what he did, but, Ben doesn't notice that the brunette is far of finding him charming at all...
Ben. - "This is the day your dreams come true..."
Emily. - "What do you know about my dreams, Ben?"
Ben. - "Plenty. Here, picture this..." (Ben waves his hand in front of them, like if he was drawing a fictive scenario) "You, in the ice ball, looking a gorgeous dress, being the envy of every girl in Rosewood, and, you know why? Because you've a triumphant entrance with me at your side..."
Emily rolls her eyes and mumbles to herself. - "Please, kill me now..."
Ben keeps talking, and, Emily looks positively disgusted. But, the guy is so blind by his ego, that he can't see it. They step on the stairs of the entrance of the school. The bell rings, and, Emily smiles, she has never felt happier of hearing that bell. She tries to rush inside, but, she's stopped by Ben's firm grip...
Emily. - "Hey, let me go..."
Ben. - "I haven't finished talking with you..."
Emily groans and rolls her eyes. When this torture will end? She asks herself that...
Ben. - "So, I will pass by six or seven..."
Emily frowns. - "What...? What the hell are you talking about...?"
Ben. - "C'mon, Emily. I'm talking about the Ice Ball! Because, do you know who has the fortune of going to the ball with me...?"
Emily mumbles annoyed. - "Let me think..."
Ben corners Emily. - "YOU! EMILY!"
Emily is ducking under Ben's arms and she keeps trying to be polite when she says. - "Ben, I'm speechless. I really don't know what to say..."
Ben corners Emily again, this time against the railing of the stairs and by the corner of her eyes, Emily looks behind her, and, the brunette notices the big pool of mud that's there...
Ben. - "So, what do you say, Emily? Will you go to the Ice Ball with me...?"
With the crowd of students around them, Emily sees a chance to get free of this in a nasty way, but, it's not like Ben didn't deserve it...
Emily. - "I'm very sorry, Ben, but I just don't deserve to be with someone like you..."
Of course she doesn't deserve being with Ben, she deserves so much more. And, when the students hear the brunette saying 'No' to the alpha of the school, everyone around says 'Oooh'. Ben is not happy, no one says no to him, and, when he tries to push his luck with the brunette, Emily twists her flexible body and ducks Ben. Ben leans forwards, but, without Emily in front of him, he tumbles out the railing of the stairs and into the mud...
Everybody laughs, mocks, and, Ben groans angrily, feeling humiliated. His head pops up from the mud, he tilts his head and cleans the mud from his teeth when he mumbles angrily to himself...
Ben. - "I'll have you Emily, make no mistake about that!"
He walks off, dejected, and, cursing...
(In Emily's room)
The wolf raises an eyebrow when the brunette comes back from school, huffing, looking unhappy...
Alison's thoughts. - "What is wrong...?"
Emily drops her things and talks with her friend. - "Can you imagine?! He asked me to be his date for the ball...?"
Alison's thoughts. - "WHAT?! WHO...?!"
Emily. - "Me... the 'girl' of that..." (Angry groan) "Me, the date of that boorish, brainless..."
The brunette didn't need to say his name, with all the adjectives that Emily used to describe him, Alison has a pretty good idea of whom they're talking about...
Alison's thoughts. - "Oh, fucking Ben..."
Emily. - "Oh, no, no, no! Just picture me at his side, it makes me feel sick!"
Alison's thoughts. - "Yeah, we're two, girl..."
Emily leans on her bed and says while she hugs the wolf. - "I want much more than someone like Ben..."
Alison's thoughts. - "Oh, Em, of course you deserve so much than that jackass..."
Emily rolls in bed, she looks at the ceiling and says. - "I want much more... I want adventure in the great wide somewhere... I want it more than I can tell. And for once it might be great to have someone who could understand it..."
Alison's thoughts. - "I understand it..."
Emily keeps talking, and, talking, she reveals to the wolf what would be for her the perfect ball, and, with that in mind, the night of the ball...
(Knocking at the door)
Emily. - "Mom...?"
Pam. - "Honey, why you're not dressed for the ball...?"
Emily sighs deeply. - "I'm not going..."
Pam. - "But, your friends just came here to pick you up..."
Emily frowns. - "Friends? What friends...?"
Pam chuckles. - "What do you mean with what friends? Alison and the others..."
The brunette hears the name 'Alison' and lots of flush pops up on her cheeks...
Emily. - "Ali... Alison is here...?"
Pam nods. - "Yes, she's. We will be waiting downstairs for you, so, hurry up, you don't want to make your friends wait, right...?"
Emily had no intention of going to the ball, she has no idea of who are the other friends, but, now that she knows that Alison is there, waiting for her, she just nods to her mom and she gets ready for what will be the ball of her dreams... And, while the mermaid gets ready, the others wait downstairs...
Alison mumbles. - "This is a mistake..."
Spencer pats Alison's shoulder. - "Calm down..."
Alison. - "What Am I doing?! I should leave, I..."
Hanna holds her by the shoulders and says. - "Oh, hell no! You're staying here!"
Aria. - "It will be okay, Ali..."
Hanna nods. - "Yeah! Tonight is the night!"
Alison says hesitantly. - "I'm not sure I can do this..."
Spencer. - "You don't have time to be timid. You must be bold, daring..."
Alison. - "Bold... Daring..."
Aria. - "This will be perfect. There will be music. Romantic candlelight..."
Hanna. - "And, when the time is right, you confess your love. She does the same, and, BOOM! The spell is broken and we're free of that fucking curse..."
Alison. - "Yes, I..." (She panics and shakes her head) "No, I con-No, I can't..."
The blonde is feeling insecure, this is new for the girls, they have never seen her like this, and, Aria & Hanna look at each other, wondering what to say, to make her feel more confident, but, thanks God that they have Spencer, because she just know what to say in moments like this...
Spencer touches Alison's shoulder. - "You care for the girl, don't you?"
Alison nods. - "More than anything..."
Spencer. - "Well then you must tell her. C'mon, Ali... what is the worse thing that could happen...?"
They await for Emily, and, no matter how many motivational speeches Spencer says to Alison. The blonde was panicking, but, all her fears, her doubts, her insecurities vanish when her eyes catch the beautiful brunette who's descending from the stairs in a glittering gold ball gown...
Alison mumbles. - "Wow..."
Pam approaches and smiles. - "OMG, Emmy! You look so..."
Alison mumbles. - "Beautiful..."
Emily blushes and smiles when she hears that Alison called her beautiful. The brunette reaches the rest of the group and looks up at the blonde, who is staring at her...
Hanna mumbles. - "It's just me or they are fucking-eye at each other..."
Aria. - "Ssshhh! Shut up!" (She smiles) "This is good, really good..."
Spencer can't see, but, she can feel it, she can hear the exciting heart of Alison, beating for Emily. After an awkward silence, both girls are barely able to say some words, they just blush each time that their eyes meet. And, they blush more when Pam takes pictures of them, together...
Pam smiles. - "Awww, you look so beautiful, like little princesses..."
Hanna says with a cocky voice. - "I do... isn't it? I do look like a fucking princess..."
Spencer rolls her eyes, Aria chuckles, and, Alison doesn't say a word, her mind is gone, transfixed by the beauty of the mermaid that's on her side...
Emily. - "Mom, please stop it, you're embarrassing us..."
They take a few more pictures, and, they are ready to leave, when...
Pam. - "Alison, please bring her home before midnight, okay...?"
Alison nods
Pam. - "Take care of each other, no alcohol, no..."
Emily whines. - "Mom..."
Alison looks at Pam in the eyes and says. - "Don't worry Ms. Fields, I'll protect Emily with my life..."
This is the 1st time that Pam meets Alison, and, even if she doesn't really know this girl, by the look of her eyes, Pam knows that Alison is being sincere...
Pam smiles, she pushes them outside the house and says. - "You should leave now, have a great time..."
The brunette nods. Arm in arm, they descend the stairs of the porch and continue on their way to the car...
Emily. - "Noel?"
Noel smiles. - "Hi, Em, looking good!"
Emily. - "What are you doing here, bro...?"
Aria leans over Noel's arm and smiles. - "He's my date for tonight..."
Noel giggles, he blushes like a fool, and, Emily just smiles, she has never seen before that goofy smile on Noel, but, she loves it. Everyone is with someone, Hanna with Caleb, Spencer and Toby... everyone has someone and...
Alison chuckles nervously. - "I hope you're okay with me, being your date for the ball..."
Emily nods, she leans her head over Alison's shoulder and says with a big smile. - "I'm more than okay..."
Everything was perfect, everything was just like all the storybooks Emily has read, and, for Emily, this couldn't go any better, but, she was wrong...
(In the forest)
Emily. - "Why you took me out of the ball...? Wh...?"
Alison seals Emily's lips with her index finger, and then, with her eyes, she points out towards the sky... the starry sky...
Emily looks up and mumbles. - "Wow..."
Alison. - "I heard that you have always dreamed about dancing under the stars, so..." (She offers her hand for a dance and says) "Would you dance with me...?"
Emily nods non-stop. She has no idea of how Alison knows so much about her, Alison always says that it's the wolf who tells her every little secret about Emily. But, the brunette finds it very hard to believe. Anyway, that's not important right now... no, nothing matters besides enjoying the moment of being here... with Alison... dancing under the stars...
Alison. - "Em...?"
Emily. - "Yeah..."
Alison's thoughts. - "Tell her how you feel, tell her... tell her that... but, what it's what I'm feeling...? I... I..."
Emily. - "Ali...?"
Alison shakes her head and then, she says with a big smile. - "I'm happy to meet you..."
Emily smiles. - "I'm happy to meet you, too..."
Alison knows that the girls will be disappointed, but, she doesn't care. The only that matters, it's to keep dancing with Emily. They dance in a perfect sequence of steps, turn after turn, their bodies move like one, and, for the 1st time in their lives, they have the perfect ball... the perfect dance... the perfect night...
(Back at the Fields house)
Pam. - "How was the ball?"
Noel smiles. - "Great! I've a girlfriend now!"
Pam smiles. - "I liked her. Aria looks like a good girl..."
Noel smiles, he runs to his room, and, Pam turns towards her quiet daughter...
Pam. - "Emmy. And, how was the ball for you?"
Emily mumbles with a goofy smile. - "Like a dream come true..."
(Back at the DiLaurentis mansion)
The blonde giggles while she looks at the enchanted rose, she didn't tell Emily her feelings, she just danced with her, but, even then...
