When she open the door, Aria sees a red box with some round holes in it.
Aria is mature enough to understand that the holes are meant to give air to something alive that is in the box.
She open it and smile when she sees a very cute white girl-kitten.
"Hi, kitten. I'm Aria." says a happy Aria.
"Do you like your lil' cat, Aria?" says Karen Remmington as she step out from the shadows of a big old cabinet.
Karen is Byron's sister and Aria's aunt.
"Yeah, it's so cute." says Aria.
"Good. I decided to buy it for you, girl." says Karen.
"Thanks." says Aria
"Your mom and dad yold me that you're responsible enough to have your own lil' cutie cat. She's a girl and you can name her." says Karen.
"Wonderful. I'll call her...uh...Spencer." says Aria with a cute smile.
"Nice name." says Karen.
The next day.
"Hi, Aria." says Spencer as she enter Aria's room.
"Hi, Spencer." says Aria.
"Oh...a little kitten." says Spencer when she sees Spencer, the kitten on Aria's bed.
"Yeah, that's my new cat, named Spencer, after you, my friend." says Aria.
"Awww. She's cute. Thanks for naming her in honor of me." says a happy Spencer.
"Ya are welcome. And yeah, my kitten is cute." says Aria.
Aria give her kitten some food.
"Lil' kitten, you're a sweetie." says Aria.
The kitten makes a very cute sound, being happy.
"Yay. So cutie cute." says Spencer.
"Really true." says Aria.
"Indeed." says Spencer.
Aria and Spencer play with Spencer, the kitten.
"So much fun." says Aria and Spencer.
The kitten is happy and so are Spencer and Aria.
2 weeks later, Aria has of course been a very good girl, taking awesome care of her white adorable pet kitten on her own, without help from Ella or Byron.
As a result of having an actual real living kitten, Aria has sort of neglected Snow Baby and her other plushies, but that's okay.
To take care of a real kitten is much more important and Aria is mature enough to understand this and she still love her plushies too, just as much as she love her kitten.
"Aria, it's sweet to see you love that little kitten of yours." says Ella when she sees Aria very gently brush the soft white fur on Spencer, the kitten.
"Thanks, mommy. My kitten is awesome." says Aria.
"I knew it was a good idea to let Karen give it to you." says Ella.
"Okay. Cute." says Aria.
"Does your kitten have a name?" says Ella.
"Yup. This is the kitten Spencer. Named after my bestie." says Aria.
"Sweet. I'm sure Spencer think that's wonderful and very cute." says Ella.
The kitten make an adorable childish kitten-sound.
"Awww!" says a happy Aria.
3 days later.
Hanna sit in the ice cream bar, eating ice cream, when suddenly Noel sneak up behid her and steal her beloved pink plush bunny.
"Lame loser-Hanna, I'm taking your toy." says Noel.
"No! My little bunny!" says Hanna.
"It's my bunny now." says Noel.
He then leave the ice cream bar.
Unfortunately for him, he meet Spencer and Aria who are on their way to the ice cream bar.
"Noel, why do you have Hanna's plushie?" says Spencer when she sees that Noel holds Hanna's pink bunny.
"It is my bunny now." says Noel with an evil smile.
"You stole it from her. How could you? Give me that bunny so I can return it to Hanna. She love that plushie more than anything else. She need it." says Spencer.
Spencer try to take Hanna's bunny from Noel.
Noel punch Spencer when she isn't ready to block.
Spencer goes down on her knees and cry in pain.
Aria try to step in and fight for her bestie, but then Noel's gang show up and Aria cannot fight a gang of more than 10 boys all on her own so she is forced to simply stand there and watch Noel and the other boys say very rude dirty evil stuff to Spencer and hold her down so she cannot escape.
6 minutes later, Noel punch Spencer again and then he and his gang leave.
Aria try to comfort Spencer.
Instead of heading to the ice cream bar, Aria help Spencer home.
When they get to the Hastings house, Aria explain to Mrs Hastings what has happened.
The next day.
Aria feel sad when she get to school, since she know Spencer isn't there.
The reason Spencer is not at school, is that she got too hurt when Noel and his gang attacked her.
Aria know this, but she miss Spencer a lot and care about her, since Spencer is her best friend.
"I hope she'll be okay..." mumbles Aria.
3 days later Spencer is back in action, but she is still a bit shy after what she went through.
"Hi, Spencer." says Aria, very happy to see her bestie.
"Hi, Aria." says Spencer with an adorable cute smile.
In a very friendly way, Spencer explain that Aria cannot hug her today, since Spencer feel uncomfortable with physical contact after being attacked by Noel and his friends.
Aria understands this and smile, happy that her bestie is okay.
Spencer and Aria walk to class together.
Later the same day, after school.
Aria and Spencer go to the Arcadeopedia where they, among kids their own age, are kinda famous, since they got that very first high score of the Arcadeopedia ever on the opening-day.
"Wonderful sweet Aria, what game should we try?" says Spencer.
"Uh...maybe 'Sunshine Kid'. We've never played that one." says Aria.
"Alright, let's play that, girl. You're my bestie." says Spencer.
Spencer and Aria play 'Sunshine Kid'.
"Yay. This game's so cute." says Aria.
"It really is." says Spencer.
Both Spencer and Aria are happy.
Aria wear a white t-shirt and violet pants and Spencer wear a black dress.
In another room at the Arcadeopedia, Bridget and her two buddies play a game named 'Rainbow City'.
"Awww! So much fun!" says a happy Bridget.
50 minutes later.
Sparia now play the game 'Popcorn Land'.
They are still happy.
Getting time here at the Arcadeopedia with Aria, makes Spencer forget how terrible it was when Noel and his friends hurt her.
4 days later, Spencer is fully recovered and not shy anymore.
She also let Aria hug her again.
It's a Saturday so there's no school.
Instead Sparia spend the day, watching cartoons and playing with Aria's little kitten.
Aria wear a violet t-shirt and white baggy sweatpants.
Spencer wear a black tank top and the pink baggy sweatpants she got as a b-day gift from Hanna.
"Lil' kitten, here." says Aria as she give the kitten its favorite toy, a small pink rubber ball.
The kitten starts to play with the pink ball, seeming very happy.
"Your kitten is so adorable." says Spencer.
"Thanks." says Aria.
2 months later.
Aria wake up and she get so happy and excited when she remember what day it is.
It is her 9th birthday.
Aria is the second one of the girls to turn 9.
Nearly 15 minutes after Aria wakes up, Ella and Byron enter the room, singing 'Happy Birthday'.
They place breakfast on Aria's nightstand and give her a couple of gifts.
"Happy bithday, girl." says Ella.
"Thanks, mommy." says Aria, all cute.
Aria eat her breakfast.
She thinks it's yummy.
After that, Aria open her gifts.
The one from Ella is a new black dress and the one from Byron is the book 'The Lost Lake' by Belinda Watson.
"Yay!" says Aria, very happy about both the gifts.
"I'm glad you like your gifts, Aria." says Byron.
"Thanks, daddy." says Aria.
Spencer, the kitten jump up onto the bed and sit next to Aria.
"Hi, kitten." says Aria.
The kitten makes a very cute sound.
Clearly the kitten is happy.
"You've really developed a special bond with that little cat." says Ella.
"She's my friend." says Aria.
"Cute. Take good care of her." says Ella.
"I promise." says Aria.
"That's good." says Ella.
5 hours later, it's time for Aria's awesome birthday-party.
Spencer, Emily, Hanna, Alison and other girls from school are there.
"Aria, here. To my number one bestie on the entire planet." says Spencer with a very cute smile as she give Aria a gift.
"Thanks, Spencer. So awesome." says Aria when she open her gift and sees that it is a small electric piano.
The electric piano is like a hybrid of a keyboard and a traditional piano and in a size that's perfect for Aria.
"I'm glad you love." says Spencer.
"And this is from me." says Emily as she give Aria a gift.
When she open it, Aria sees that the gift from Emily is a pink plush fish.
"So cute. Thanks, Em." says Aria.
"I got ya something too, girl." says Alison as she give Aria a gift.
"Thanks, Ali." says Aria.
Aria open the gift anf it is a red leather jacket.
"From me." says Hanna as she give Aria a gift.
Aria open the gift and it is a pink hoodie.
"Thanks, Han." says Aria.
The other kids also give Aria nice gifts.
"Thanks." says Aria for each of the gifts.
She like most of the gifts that she recieve.
Once all the gifts have been opened, it's time for cake.
Ella has baked a very nice strawberry cake.
All the kids get a slice of the cake and a glass of orange lemonade.
Later, when all the other kids leave, Spencer stay behind and hang out with Aria in Aria's room.
Aria's kitten sleep on the bed.
"I'm gonna try this." says Aria as she plug in her new electric piano.
She play a cute simple song that she know.
"Very cute." says Spencer.
"Thanks." says Aria.
"No problem, girl. You're cool." says Spencer.
"You're cool to, Spencer. You're my best bestie." says Aria.
Aria and Spencer kiss each other.
2 weeks later.
Aria, Spencer, Emily, Hanna and Alison are at the playground when Noel and his gang show up.
"Yo, girls. Back away, we take over the playground. Right, guys?" says Noel.
His friends agree.
"Stop! You guys cannot do that. The playground is for every kid." says Aria.
"Fine, we leave." says Noel and then he and his gang walk away.
"Awesome!" says a happy Spencer, thinking Aria is so cool and awesome for standing up to Noel and his friends.
"Thanks!" says a happy Aria.
Hanna and Emily are surprised, in a good way.
They would never have enough bravery to stand up to Noel, the king of the local bad kids.
Alison wouldn't either, having not grown badass and hardcore yet at this age.
"Yay! You saved us all from creepy Noel. So cool." says a happy Hanna, all childish and cute.
"I guess I did." says Aria with a sweet casual smile.
"Aria, you were awesome and I'm glad you dare to be like that 'cause Noel know kinda one of my weaknesses now so I cannot stand up to him as well as I used to." says Spencer.
"Okay." says Aria.
Spencer, Aria, Hanna, Alison and Emily don't like Noel and they are not alone in this. All the girls in Rosewood of their age feel the same.
The only girl Noel is nice to is a girl named Anna Park and she is sort of a female version of Noel, having the girl-version of his personality.
She is often seen hanging with Noel and his gang at school.
In the future when she is 12 and has changed from a sweetie to a bad girl, Alison will take over Anna's spot as Noel's lady friend after the Park family move away from Rosewood when Anna's mom get a job at a library in Boston.
The next day.
Spencer and Aria hang out in Spencer's room.
Aria wear a black t-shirt and jeans.
Spencer wear a white t-shirt and black baggy sweatpants.
"Where's Sir Goodnight?" says Aria.
"In the big box with all of his stuffed buddies." says Spencer.
"Okay." says Aria.
Spencer open her closet and pull out the box that she keep her plushies in.
"Here they are." says Spencer.
"Wonderful." says Aria.
"Spencer, your new books was just delivered." says Mrs Hastings as she enter the room and place a FedEx box in front of Spencer.
"Thanks, mom." says Spencer.
Mrs Hastings smile, nod and then leave the room, closing the door behind her, giving her daughter and her daughter's friend some sweet adorable privacy.
Spencer get very happy when she open the box and sees luxury editions of the seven books in the 'Ancient Love' series by Violetta McBride.
For over a year has Spencer wanted these books and about a month ago her mom finally agreed to buy them for her and now they have arrived.
With a huge bright smile on her face, Spencer gently place the new books in her big bookshelf.
"Sooo awesome, now I've night-reading to last for months." says Spencer.
"Yup." says Aria, happy for her friend.
It is clear that Spencer is happy beyond imagination to have her new books that she's wanted for so long.
On her desk, Spencer leave a note for herself. It says "Today when going to bed, read first one of the new books."
"Spencer, you're amazing." says Aria.
"Thanks, so are you." says Spencer.
"Awww! Thanks." says Aria.
"Okay. Anytime, girl." says Spencer.
"Sweet." says Aria.
Aria gives Spencer a very cute hug.
20 minutes later, Spencer and Aria watch cute cartoons on Spencer's computer and drink tea and eat ice cream.
Both of them are happy.
"Yay, so cute." says Spencer.
"I agree. girl." says Aria.
Almost a month later.
"Yay!" says Alison as she play with her plushies.
She is happy.
On this day she wear a pink t-shirt and black baggy sweatpants.
"Awww." says Alison.
"Hi, sweetie." says Jessica as she enter her daughter's room.
"Hi, mama." says Alison.
"I've good news for you. You'll get internet, but it will be limited access, just like your friend Hanna has." says Jessica.
"Okay." says a happy Alison.
Alison hasn't become a bad girl yet, so she is 100 % fine with having a restricted internet connection.
She feel it's much better than nothing.
"Your dad will install it tomorrow." says Jessica.
"Thanks, mommy." says Alison, all cute.
The next day when Alison is in school, her dad install internet in her room.
"Damn crap." mumbles Kenneth, who very much disagree about giving Alison internet, but Jessica has somehow made him install it anyways.
When she come home from school, Alison smile when she sees that there's internet on her computer.
She run to the kitchen where her mom is.
"Thanks soooo much!" says a very happy Alison as she give her mom a hug.
"For what, sweetie?" says Jessica with a friendly casual smile.
"For givin' me internet, of course. Duh." says Alison.
"Okay. You're welcome." says Jessica.
"Yay!" says Alison, all cute.
Alison return to her room to try her internet for the first time.
"Awww!" says Alison as she google 'plushie toy'.
Pictures of awesome plushies appear on the screen.
Alison watch this for a while.
She is happy.
"This is so cool." says Alison in cute joy.
The next day, Alison tell her friends that she has internet.
"Cool." says Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily.
"Thanks, girls." says Alison, who at this age still haven't started to refer to her friends as 'ladies' yet.
"Yay." says Emily.
Alison gives Emily a very sweet hug.
"Em, sweetie...I've downloaded one of those dance-songs you love." says Alison as she switch on a song on the computer.
The music starts.
It's a song that Emily love.
Alison has downloaded it using her internet.
"Yay! That song's so cute!" says a happy Emily.
"Cool. I downloaded it just for you, Em." says Alison.
Emily gives Alison a hug.
