Almost a week later.
Mrs Hastings drive Spencer and Aria to a nice Italian diner a couple miles outside of Rosewood.
Spencer wear a violet dress and Aria wear a black dress.
This is Sparia's first real date ever.
Or technically it's not a 'date' by normal standards, since Aria and Spencer are still just 9 year old kids and doesn't know about lesbianism yet, but it's as close to a date as is appropriate for two young sweet girls that are in pre-love with each other.
Both of them are clearly happy.
Mrs Hastings has arranged this for Spencer and Aria.
She doesn't know that they love each other, but she has still set this up as a childish friend-date, but with some maturity as well, since Spencer and Aria are more mature than most other kids their age.
"Mom, thanks for making this happen for me and my wonderful bestie." says Spencer.
"You kids deserve it." says Mrs Hastings.
"Okay." says Spencer.
"I hope you'll have fun." says Mrs Hastings when she drop off Spencer and Aria by the Italian diner.
"Thanks." says Spencer and Aria with cute smiles.
Both of them seem happy as they enter the diner.
"Welcome, girls." says a waitress.
"I'm Spencer Hastings and this is Aria Montgomery." says Spencer.
"There's a table for you girls over here." says the waitress as she lead Aria and Spencer to table on the other side of the room.
Mrs Hastings has payed ahead of time and reserved a table for Spencer and Aria.
"Let's see...we'll have the royal pasta and the strawberry tea." says Spencer, reading from the menu as she has learned to do.
"Okay, young ladies." says the waitress.
"Spence, it's so sweet of your mom to let us have this dinner." says Aria.
"Yeah. Mom want us to get some special fun so she set this whole thing up for you and me." says Spencer.
"Awesome." says Aria.
"Indeed. Very cute." says Spencer.
5 minutes later, the waitress place the food on the table.
She smile and then walk away.
Aria and Spencer are happy as they start to eat.
"Really nice." says Spencer.
"Yeah, it's truly yummy." says Aria.
"Indeed, girl." says Spencer.
"Awww, so sweet." says Aria.
"True." says Spencer.
"Yup." says Aria.
This dinner is a true Sparia moment...or at least a really cute pre-Sparia moment.
Both Spencer and Aria are clearly having a very good time.
"Spencer, it's so wonderful to have you as a bestie." says Aria.
"Thanks, Aria. I feel the exact same for you." says Spencer.
"Okay. Thank ya." says Aria.
"Besties forever?" says Spencer as she hold up her tea cup.
"Besties forever." says Aria as she hold up her tea cup as well.
Aria and Spencer gently touch their tea cups together, toasting to eternal friendship between them.
They smile, being very happy.
This is the major step to full Sparia romance that I mentioned in the author's note at the end of the previous chapter.
Spencer and Aria look into each other's beautiful eyes.
Now that feeling of love shine within their hearts again, just like it has done a few times before.
"Awwww! Cute!" says both Aria and Spencer at the same time.
It is obvious that both of them are happy.
"You're an awesome friend." says Aria.
"So are you." says Spencer.
"Alright, girl." says Aria.
"Yeah, Aria." says Spencer.
Having dinner like this, just the two of them, is wonderful and cute for Aria and Spencer.
"I'm glad you're my buddy." says Spencer.
"Our friendship's important to me as well, Spencer." says Aria.
"Thanks, girl. So sweet." says Spencer.
"Yay." says Aria.
"So true." says Spencer.
77 minutes later.
"This was the best dinner in a long time." says Aria.
"I agree." says Spencer.
Spencer gives Aria a cute kiss.
"Awww! Yay!" says a happy Aria.
Spencer is happy too.
"So sweet." says Spencer.
21 minutes later, Mrs Hastings return to pick up Spencer and Aria.
"Girls, did you have fun?" says Mrs Hastings.
"We did, mom. Aria and I had a wonderful time." says Spencer.
"I'm glad you did." says Mrs Hastings.
The next day.
"Me and Spencer had so much fun yesterday." says Aria, telling her kitten and her plushies about the very sweet Sparia-dinner.
The kitten makes a cute sound.
"Yeah." says Aria, being happy.
2 hours later.
"Aria, have you fed your little cat today?" says Ella.
"Yup, mom." says Aria.
"Good. I'm glad that you love your cat so much. She's cute." says Ella.
"Yeah." says Aria.
"Do you want ice cream?" says Ella.
"I do." says Aria.
"Okay, here." says Ella as she give Aria ice cream.
"Yum, yum." says Aria as she start to eat her ice cream.
She thinks it's yummy.
"Yay!" says a happy Aria.
Spencer, the kitten takes a seat next to Aria.
"Hi, lil' kitten." says Aria.
2 days later.
Spencer and Aria are in the toy store, checking if there are any new plushies they like.
Both girls have been given new pocket-money today so that's why they decided to go to the toy store.
"Aww, this one's cute." says Spencer when she find a red fish plushie, similar to the fish plushie Aria own.
"Yeah." says Aria.
"I think I wanna buy it." says Spencer.
"Okay, you should do so." says Aria.
"Really?" says Spencer.
"Yup." says Aria.
29 minutes later.
Spencer buy the red fish plushie and Aria buy a black bunny plushie.
4 days later.
"Yay!" says Hanna, who sit in her bed, playing with her pink plush bunny.
Hanna wear her pink soft jammies.
"Awwww!" says Hanna.
Outside the window, someone sit in the tree, mostly hidden by the shadows.
It is Noel and he spy on Hanna, wanting to bully her and steal her plush bunny and destroy it.
"Little loser-Hanna's bunny will soon be mine! And I'm gonna kill it." mumbles Noel with an evil smile.
Hanna is lucky. Noel never manage to actually take her bunny and destroy it like he wants to.
3 weeks later.
"Yay." says a happy Alison as she use her restricted internet access to download some music that she like.
Alison wear a black t-shirt and white pants.
"Cute." says Alison.
Soon she's downloaded 5 songs.
She save them under the name 'Favorite Music'.
"Me is a lil' cutie, yeah." says Alison, being very childish.
