6 weeks later, it's pre-Christmas time.
And as an early Christmas present, Emily's dad has installed internet in Emily's room, making Emily the third of the girls to get internet in her own room for the first time in life.
"Thanks, daddy!" says a happy Emily when she get home from school one day and is told by her dad that she has internet now.
"You're welcome, Little Fish." says Emily's dad.
Little Fish is the nickname Emily's dad has given Emily after she started being a swimmer.
"Yay!" says a happy Emily.
The next day, Emily show her friends that she has internet.
Alison and Hanna get jealous, since they don't have internet yet.
Why?
Because their parents don't trust them to be responsible enough for that.
It is very clear that both girls want to have internet very much though.
"Look, me have internet as well now." says Emily.
"Cool." says Aria.
"Very nice." says Spencer.
"Girls, come down to the living room for ice cream and TV." says Emily's mom as she enter the room.
"Awesome." says all 5 girls as they follow Emily's mom down to the living room.
Emily's mom place ice cream on the table and switch on the TV so the girls can watch afternoon cartoons.
The girls still watch cartoons at this point in life.
None of them has outgrown cartoons yet.
"Awww!" says Aria, Hanna, Emily, Spencer and Alison as the intro for the cartoon show 'Cotton Candy Kingdom' starts.
'Cotton Candy Kingdom' is a cartoon show all of them like.
The next day, in school.
"Hi, Spencer." says Aria as she walk up to Spencer outside the school library.
"Hi, Aria." says Spencer.
Spencer gives Aria a hug and a kiss.
"Yay!" says a happy Aria.
Aria and Spencer still aren't aware of what lesbianism is, but they enjoy kissing each other a lot.
Lucky for Spencer and Aria nobody see them kissing so nobody can bully them for it.
If Noel had seen it, he would probably have bullied them for being 2 girls kissing.
"Awww, Aria!" says a happy Spencer with a very cute smile.
Spencer and Aria giggle and then enter the library.
They start to search for awesome books.
"Hmm, I think I want to read a book by Rowena McBride." says Aria.
"Okay. I'm going to read this book by Kathleen Sakirah." says Spencer.
The same day, after school.
"Snow Baby." says Aria in a soft cute voice as she gently brush the soft plush fur on her white teddy bear Snow Baby.
Aria is happy.
On this day, Aria wear a black t-shirt and red pants.
"You're a wonderful plushie." says Aria, talking to Snow Baby, pretending that Snow Baby is alive.
22 minutes later.
"Aria, your buddy Spencer's here." says Ella.
"Amazing." says Aria in joy.
Spencer enter Aria's room.
"Hi, Spencer!" says a very happy Aria as she give Spencer a kiss.
This makes Spencer blush a bit.
"Hi, Aria. So awesome to see you." says Spencer, just as happy as Aria.
"What ya wanna do?" says Aria.
"I'd love to play with plushies." says Spencer.
"Sounds so cool." says Aria.
"Yeah." says Spencer as she open her bag and reveal that she has her black plush bear Sir Goodnight with her.
"Awww! Sir Goodnight...the best friend of Snow Baby." says Aria.
Spencer and Aria play with plushies.
This is very fun for both of them.
"You're awesome." says Aria.
"I think you are awesome too." says Spencer.
"Okay. Thank ya." says Aria.
"No problem, Aria." says Spencer.
"I like you so much." says Aria.
"Thanks. I like you a lot as well." says Spencer.
"Awesome." says Aria.
"Indeed." says Spencer.
Aria and Spencer are happy.
At the same time, Hanna try to make her mom and dad give her internet.
"Mommy, me wanna have internet. Aria, Spence and Em has it." says Hanna.
"I'm sorry, Hanna. You're too young." says Ashley Marin, Hanna's mom.
"NO!" whines Hanna, throwing a big tantrum.
"Calm down, little Hanna." says Ashley, trying to comfort Hanna.
"Mommy..." says Hanna, crying.
"Relax." says Ashley with a sweet smile.
Hanna try to stop crying and be a calm kid.
It actually works.
"So, so..." says Ashley in a soft warm tone.
The next day.
Aria enter Spencer's room.
"Hi, bestiest friend ever." says Aria, all happy.
"Hi, Aria." says Spencer, being all happy too.
Spencer and Aria hug each other in joy.
"Yay!" says Aria.
"Awwww!" says Spencer.
Both of them are happy.
"I think you're the best." says Aria.
"Thanks." says Spencer.
"So sweet." says Aria.
"Yeah." says Spencer.
For 2 hours, Aria and Spencer play with plushies.
"Sir Goodnight miss Snow Baby a lot." says Spencer.
"I'll bring her next time." says Aria.
"Cute." says Spencer.
"Yup." says Aria.
"Spencer, package for you." says Mrs Hastings as she enter the room and gives Spencer a FedEx plastic bag.
"Thanks, mom." says Spencer and then open the bag...and in it is a violet plushie cat.
It is very clear that Spencer is happy to get a new toy.
About a month ago, Spencer found this plushie online and her mom ordered it for her.
"Nice that you like it." says Mrs Hastings and then leave the room.
"My new plushie needs its own name. I think I'll call it...Lotus, after the beautiful Lotus flower." says Spencer.
"Awesome name." says Aria.
"Thanks, Aria." says a happy Spencer.
"You're welcome, Spencer." says Aria.
Spencer giggle, blush and then lean in and kisses Aria.
This is the most intense ( in a good way, of course ) Sparia kiss this far.
Aria clearly enjoy it and so does Spencer.
Once again, they've taken a big important step towards full Sparia romance.
"Yay! says both of them in pure cute joy.
They play for 22 more minutes and then Aria has to go home.
2 days later is is Christmas Day in Rosewood, but we will skip that, since I'm not much of a fan of Christmas.
4 days after New Years.
Spencer enter Aria's room.
"Can I...uh...kiss you?" says Spencer.
"Yup. I'd love that so much." says Aria.
"Nice." says a happy Spencer as she give Aria a kiss.
"Awesome!" says Aria, all cute.
"Yeah." says Spencer.
"So sweet." says Aria.
Aria switch on some cute music on her computer.
Spencer and Aria dance to the music.
The music, Aria has downloaded from the internet.
"This music is wonderful." says Spencer.
"Yeah, I agree." says Aria with an adorable smile.
"Awesome." says a happy Spencer.
Aria is happy as well.
Once the music ends, Aria and Spencer sit down on Aria's bed.
"Where's little Snow Baby today?" says Spencer.
"Over there." says Aria as she gesture towards the bookshelf where the plushie bear Snow Baby sit between two books.
"So cute." says Spencer.
"Yup." says Aria.
"I think Snow Baby is a very sweet plush bear." says Spencer.
"Awww, thanks. So is Sir Goodnight." says Aria.
"Thank you." says Spencer, all cute and happy.
15 minutes later.
Aria and Spencer sit in the Montgomery living room, watching TV.
They watch Rosewood's local TV channel.
Both of them are happy.
Suddenly a TV commercial starts.
"Kids and teens of Rosewood, just a week from today the town's newest thing opens, the brand new video game arcade, the Arcadeopedia, a new top of the line arcade that has all of the most popular games from the early 80s up to now. Gamers, try to get high score and have awesome fun, at the Arcadeopedia, where games are always fun." says a sweet 24 year old woman.
Then video game music play as several sweeping shots of the main arcade hall is shown.
"Wanna go with me to that?" says Aria.
"Of course, my friend." says Spencer.
Spencer and Aria decides to go to the Arcadeopedia on opening-day.
Hanna, Emily and Alison have seen the TV commercial for the Arcadeopedia as well and they also decides to go there the day it opens.
"Mom, Spencer and I are gonna go to the new video game arcade on the day it open." says Aria when Ella enter the room.
"Okay." says Ella.
"It's gonna be so much fun!" says an excited Spencer, being much more childish than she usually is.
"Yeah!" says Aria in adorable cute joy.
55 minutes later, Aria and Spencer walk to the playground and smile when they see that Emily, Hanna and Alison are there.
"Hi, girls." says Aria.
"Hi, Aria." says Alison.
"Yay!" says Hanna, happy to see Aria and Spencer.
Alison gives candy to Hanna, Emily, Spencer and Aria.
"Candy! Awww!" says Hanna, all childish.
"Yeah, Han." says Alison with a sweet smile.
"Yum, yum." says Hanna, eating some of her candy.
"So sweet you are." says Alison.
"Thanks, Ali." says Hanna.
"Anytime, sweetie." says Alison.
Already at this age, Alison call other girls sweetie.
She'll continue to do this for many years, as we know.
"Yay!" says Hanna, all adorable.
The 5 girls play and have fun.
"Sooo much fun!" says a happy Emily.
"Yup." says Aria with a cute smile.
"Awww! Cute." says Alison.
"Yeah, awesome." says Spencer.
"Cutie cute!" says Hanna.
Author's note: Aria and Spencer actually going to the arcade will happen in the next chapter.
