Aria's POV

Homecoming was this week. I laid in my bed. I woke up to find that another person was killed in an animal attack. I still wasn't sure if it was me or the other werewolf had killed them. I didn't know if I would ever to be able to know that. I knew that I had killed someone in Iceland. I wanted to say that I couldn't help myself, but the guilt was still with me. I supposed that instead of worrying about whether or not I killed them, I should worry about finding out who the werewolf was.

I was upset about my fight with Ezra. I wasn't sure if I should have been considering that we had still had sex, but I didn't think it could be considered make up sex. Suddenly, I felt someone touch me. I opened my eyes to see Spencer, Hanna, and Emily were there.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked.

"We're here for an intervention." Spencer explained. They probably though that I was upset based on what was going on with my parents. "We brought gossip magazines and takeout."

"But we're not doing any of that until you change out of your pajamas." Hanna added.

"What's wrong with these?" I asked. Okay, so I wasn't wearing pants, but it was my room.

"Well for starters we can see your underwear." Hanna pointed out. "Just because you can wear anything you want here doesn't mean that you should."

"Plus, how can you choose a Homecoming dress if you don't try some on?" Emily asked. I smiled a little before frowning.

"Maybe I don't want to go." I pointed out. Who would I even go with?

"What do you mean you don't wanna go?" Hanna asked.

"Yeah, you can't just not go to Homecoming." Spencer added.

"What else are you going to do?" Emily questioned.

"I could eat ice cream or watch some Netflix." I responded. They have some great foreign movies on there. I still had some Icelandic films I needed to catch up on.

"Cutting yourself off from the rest of your life is not going to help your parents." Spencer retorted. "Besides, they haven't said that they're divorcing or even separating yet."

"They're barely speaking to each other." I remarked. Plus when they did, the words weren't good.

"People get angry and then sometimes things blow over." Emily stated.

"Emily, they're not fighting over a missed anniversary. This is adultery. He slept with one of his students." Hanna declared. It seemed like Hanna had the uncanny ability to make things worse. "Sorry."

"But sometimes things look bad one day and the next, everything is better." Emily added.

"And you are coming to Homecoming." Spencer declared as she dragged me out of bed. Curse me being so small.

"I'll think about it." I replied.

"Well can you please vote?" Hanna asked. We all looked at her. "I need your vote. It's very important that I win Homecoming queen this year."

"Hanna, only seniors can be queen." I pointed out. "You'd only be a princess."

"But you're still going to be a princess." Spencer remarked.

"Can you rig the election?" Hanna questioned as Emily took out some food.

"I don't need to and I can't. Half of the homecoming committee is out sick with the flu, so I'm in charge." Spencer said. She would have taken charge anyway. "I have to restock ice, refill hummus and try to look cute for my date."

"Who are you taking?" I asked. I hadn't heard anything about that. Was Spencer bringing Wren to Homecoming.

"Alex." She replied. Who was Alex? I didn't know an Alex.

"He works at the country club." Emily explained. It had been so long since I had been there. I didn't think we rejoined when we moved back to town.

"Look at Spencer blush." Hanna teased. Maybe she didn't want to take Wren because her family kind of hated him. That would be a pretty good reason. Or maybe she just didn't like Wren.

"He's not going to know anyone there, so can you please do your best to make him feel welcome?" Spencer requested. So, basically she wanted Emily and I to hang around him to make things less awkward. I was pretty sure that would make it more awkward. "Emily, who are you going with?"

"I was probably just going to go with Maya. She doesn't have a date either from what I know." Emily replied. I didn't think that she wanted Maya to be her date.

"See, you don't need me to go." I replied.

"It doesn't matter who you go with." Hanna stated. Did that mean that she wasn't going with Sean? "You should go with someone that you'll have fun with…or bring your brother."

"I don't think my brother wants to dance with me." I retorted. He probably wanted to dance with her though. At that point, I decided to eat. Being a werewolf meant that I was usually hungry and also had a really good metabolism.

Hanna's POV

I was in some sort of celibacy club. I was watching Sean simulate a conversation with the girl who gave him a ride and it made me a little bit uncomfortable. Thankfully, it ended pretty soon.

"Hanna, Lucas, why don't you go up?" The teacher suggested. I looked over to him. Lucas Gottesman was bit of a nerd. Sure, he looked like he could be attractive, but he was kind of weird. Alison used to make fun of him. I didn't think it had to do with racism though because she never mentioned how his mother was black.

"I think I would be more comfortable observing," Lucas declared.

"Come on." The teacher urged. I sighed. He wasn't even someone I wanted to have sex with.

"This wouldn't be realistic. I can't do this with her." Lucas argued. "Girls like her don't approach guys like me unless they have self-esteem issues or drinking problems or both."

I wasn't sure if I should be offended or not.

"Lucas, just do it." The teacher replied. I wondered if he caught the double entendre. "I mean tell her you don't want to do it."

"Well, it would never happen." Lucas pointed out. "Look, I listen to country music and spending my weekends watching anime. I don't think we have to worry about me losing my virginity any time soon."

I couldn't help but think that he was kind of funny.

Aria's POV

I tried and failed to talk to Ezra. I had to figure out something to do to get out of going to Homecoming and I needed to know if he was going to be chaperoning.

"What are you doing, Montgomery?" Noel asked.

"I'm trying to find excuses to get out of going to Homecoming." I answered.

"No one is forcing you to go." He replied.

"My friends pretty much are." I retorted.

"You could go with me." He offered.

"I'd rather not do that." I replied. I had more dignity to that, especially not if it was a pity.

Emily's POV

I was in the cafeteria getting some juice when Maya suddenly walked up to me. She looked like she was on a mission.

"Go to Homecoming with me." She said.

"You didn't say please," I pointed out. "I never really pictured you as a dancer."

"I really would like an answer.'" She stated.

"I'll think about it." I responded. I wanted to see if she would respond to me playing hard to get. "I have to get to class."

Spencer's POV

I went to find Hanna in the cafeteria. Unfortunately, Mona was already there.

"Hey, Spencer. So is it true that you're taking the country club's towel boy to Homecoming?" Mona questioned. Mona was basically the school bitch now that Ali was gone.

"His name is Alex and yes I am." I declared confidently.

"Quit it, Mona." Hanna ordered.

"What? I think it's cute." Mona responded.

"Mona, please get me a frogurt." Hanna replied. I didn't know anyone called it that. Mona did as she said and left.

"Well that was the reaction that I wanted to avoid." I commented.

"Don't pay attention to her. She's just upset because she doesn't have a date." Hanna replied.

"I thought she was going out with Ben." I stated. I didn't know why anyone would go out with him because he was a douche. "Why are you friends with her again?"

"Once you get to know her, she's really not that bad." Hanna defended. "Plus, she's always been there for me. She's a good person, even if she doesn't always act like it."

Later, I was setting up for the dance when suddenly Alex walked in.

"Hey, do you need some help?" He asked.

"You know the dance doesn't start for 27 hours, don't you?" I quipped.

"I wanted to go through a trial run." He retorted. "I could run this town."

"You sound just like me." I pointed out.

"Yeah, but I was joking." He countered. I chuckled. "I'm going to buy a suit and I want to know what color your dress is so we can match."

"That's sweet, but I'll match my outfit to yours. Just wear whatever you have." I told him.

"We can't both wear jeans and a t-shirt." He declared. But he looked so freaking sexy in a tee shirt. "I want to. It's a good excuse for a suit. Also, here's this."

He presented me with a wad of money.

"What's this for?" I asked. I hoped it wasn't what I thought it was.

"The tickets." He replied.

"Don't worry about it. This is on me," I declared. "I know how hard you work. I just don't want you to spend all of your money on this stupid dance."

"I work hard so I can spend money on things like stupid dances." He declared as he grabbed me and put the money in my pocket. He certainly knew how to make a girl feel special.

"I'm wearing a purple halter dress. Sure you want to match that?" I quipped.

"I would love to." He replied before he gave me a kiss on the lips.

Hanna's POV

After school, I couldn't help but see Maya. She had a guitar on her back.

"Hey, are you in a band?" I questioned.

"Rock band. Marching isn't really my thing." She replied. "And yes I'm voting for you."

"I guess I'll see you at Homecoming." I stated.

"I don't think I'm going to go." She responded.

"That's too bad because Emily really wanted you to go," I said. I had a hunch and my hunches were never wrong.

Aria's POV

I was getting ready for the dance with Hanna. I was trying to find a way to tell my friends that I was a werewolf, but I didn't know how.

"So, should I wear 'It's an honor to be nominated' or 'Where the hell is my crown?'?" She asked.

"They both look good." I declared without interest.

"Aria, I know what you're going through." She said as she came closer. "When my parents were fighting, I didn't want to leave my room. I would eat whatever I could. The worst thing you can do is stay home. You're going to have an amazing time. Plus I happen to know someone who has a huge crush on you."

"Who?" I questioned.

"Noel." She replied.

"Noel doesn't do crushes." I responded. There was no way that he actually liked me.

"Well Noel told Sean about how he wished he was going with you." She said. I was pretty that was violation of the bro code. "Wait, are you already seeing someone? Is he from Iceland? You need to move on from that Viking and get with someone more obtainable."

"I guess you're right." I agreed. It probably wouldn't be Noel.

"Now, put this killer dress on." She declared as she handed me a dress with a red and black corset bodice and red tulle skirt.

The theme of the dance was Carnivale and Spencer had gone all out with decorating. She had even somehow gotten Big Time Rush to perform. I thought that they would too busy filming their show. I started to look around. I didn't immediately see Ezra. I eventually found Spencer and Alex, and Hanna and Sean. Hanna was wearing a blue lace off-shoulder long-sleeved dress.

"There you are. We thought you weren't coming." Spencer remarked.

"No, I'm ready to have a great time." I declared. It was then that I first saw Alex. He was cute. He also looked familiar. "Have we met before?"

"No, I don't think so." He remarked. "I'm Alex."

"Aria." I replied.

"So, you've got the first shift serving drinks." Spencer stated. I headed over. I hadn't planned on dancing with anyone anyway.

"It looks like you decided to come after all." Noel stated.

"I'm not really hear to talk." I replied.

"Last I checked it was part of bartender's job description to talk to people." He quipped.

"Did you really tell Sean that you wished you were going here with me?" I questioned. He looked surprise. "Hanna told me."

"I need to teach Sean about the bro code." He muttered.

"So, is that a yes or no?" I questioned.

"Maybe I did and maybe I didn't." He replied. "So, you gonna let me spike this or not?"

I looked at him in disbelief.

"I'm kidding." He said.

Hanna's POV

"What happened to Kelly Beech?" I questioned.

"She looks like a tranny mess," Mona replied.

"Mona, that's offensive." I remarked. At that point, I heard a flash.

"I hope you're ready for yearbook pictures." Lucas interrupted. I turned to see him holding a camera. I didn't know he was on the yearbook committee.

"That's a nice bowtie." I remarked.

"Thanks. It was my grandpa's." He declared. He was saying that without irony. He then looked at Mona. "Hey, I'm Lucas."

"Great, can you be Lucas over there?" She responded. There was then an awkward silence.

"I'll see you later, Hanna." He stated.

"See you later. Have fun." I replied. He walked off and I turned to Mona. "That was rude."

"Did I just witness a parallel universe or did you just talk to that nerd?" She asked.

"Mona, you of all people shouldn't be judging anyone." I pointed out. "Plus, Lucas is a nice guy. Talking to him is not a crime."

"Well it should be. You and I didn't work so hard to reach to top of the food chain so you could have chit chat with Norbit." Mona stated. Now talking about that movie should be a crime.

"What good is popularity if everyone hates you?" I retorted.

"It's better to be hated than forgotten." Mona declared before she stormed off.

Aria's POV

I finally got away from the bar and decided to continue my search for Ezra. I had to ask Spencer if he was a chaperone. I found him working one of the booths.

"Are you still mad at me about what happened the other night?" I asked.

"I don't want to talk about this here." He stated. "I'm just glad that things are over."

"If that's the way you want it then fine." I declared before I walked away.

Emily's POV

I decided to go to the cafeteria. I hadn't seen Maya. Maybe playing hard to get didn't work and she thought that I genuinely wasn't interested. I was wearing a simple red sleeveless dress. I didn't like wearing dresses, but such an occasion called for one.

"I've been waiting for you Emily." Jenna told me,

"How did you know it was me?" I questioned. She couldn't see me.

"I have my ways. I know you did something to Toby." She remarked. What did that mean?

"I don't know what you're talking about," I replied.

Aria's POV

I didn't know if it was a werewolf thing, but I felt really angry. I felt a need to show dominance and show Ezra what he was missing out on. I had to find someone to dance with. I could grab someone who came alone, but there was one person that I wanted to find. I grabbed him and took him to the dancefloor with me.

"Okay, this isn't how I expected this to go." He remarked.

"Well maybe I was getting bored." I replied as I started to move with him. I didn't even know if he could see me. I didn't even care. I did feel good in Noel's arms though. I couldn't help but overhear people whispering about us from across the room. Apparently people didn't think that I was good enough for him. I still couldn't figure out why he liked me. Why would a popular jock like a girl like me?

"Don't listen to what they're saying." He stated. Did he hear them too? No, he was probably just talking about the people on the dancefloor who were also listening.

Emily's POV

I finally found Maya in one of the classrooms.

"So, you didn't like the gym?" I asked her.

"I was looking for you." She said. "I'm not a big fan of crowds."

"Maybe it wasn't the best idea to come here." I replied.

"I wanted to come for you." She replied. It was then I realized it was the music room. "I wrote a song for you and I wanted to play it for you."

She grabbed a guitar and began to play.

You can be amazing, you can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love
Or you can start speaking up

Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do when they settle beneath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight, sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you

Say what you wanna say and let the words fall out
Honestly, I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say and let the words fall out
Honestly, I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you, I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you, I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you, I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you, I wanna see you be brave

I knew what the song was about, but I didn't think that I was ready for that yet. I did know what I wanted when I went over and kissed her.

Hanna's POV

I danced with Sean and it was fine. I knew that he loved me, but I didn't know why I wasn't excited about the relationship. I had to admit that the no sex thing bothered me. Not to mention, I still wanted to figure out how to really use magic. What did me being a witch mean? I knew it was stuff that I shouldn't be thinking of while I was dancing with him. I had to clear my head and focus on the guy in front of me who loved me very much, even though I destroyed his car.

Spencer's POV

I found that Alex was talking to Melissa and I didn't really like it. I didn't think she would try to steal him from me because that would be gross. I couldn't help but wonder what Wren was doing right now. He was probably at work. He wouldn't have wanted to come and I also knew that I shouldn't bring him and that was before I knew that Melissa would be there.

"So, do you want to go to the fortune teller?" He asked.

"That's not really my thing." I said. I had actually set up a lot of things that I didn't personally like.

Hanna's POV

I decided to go outside to clear my head and that was where I found Lucas.

"What's the Homecoming Queen doing out here?" He asked.

"I was just getting some fresh air." I replied. "Plus. I can't be queen since I'm a junior."

"Well I voted for you." He said.

"Are you leaving?" I asked.

"I came to take photos for yearbook and I have enough." He explained.

"So, there's nothing else that you want to do here?" I inquired. It seemed like a waste of time to me.

"Well I was going to ask a girl to dance but I had a pretty good idea that she would say no, so I decided not to bother. I can't really dance anyway." He answered.

"How do you know?" I asked. "Sometimes people think that they can't dance until they actually dance with someone."

"Are you offering?" He questioned.

"Maybe I am, but first we'll need music." I declared as I reached into my dress and pulled out my phone. "Do you like Poison?"

"Why did you have your phone in bra?" He asked. Apparently he had never seen a girl do that before.

"My dress doesn't have any pockets." I replied as I grabbed onto him.

"Wait. You look cold." He said before he draped his jacket over my shoulders.

Aria's POV

I decided to dance with Sean a little since Hanna had gone outside. I didn't think he minded because it was just friendly between the two of us and we weren't even touching. At that point, I heard someone walking in our direction.

"Hello, Aria, Sean." Ezra greeted us.

"Hi, Mr. Fitz. How are you?" I replied. I wondered if talking to teachers at dances was always supposed to be awkward or it was just due to the fact that we had dated.

I then followed him into the hallway.

"What so you're just going to walk away from me now?" I asked. "Stop being a baby about this. You're the one who ended things with me. You don't have the right to hate me when I didn't do anything except be affectionate around one of your friends."

"The only person that I hate right now is myself for asking you to do this when we both knew it wasn't a good idea." He told me. "You deserve to be happy with guys your own age. You deserve to be with someone that you can tell your friends about and I could never hate you. Now if you excuse me. I have to go."

Emily's POV

I headed back to the cafeteria and to my surprise Jenna was still there. Had she moved at all?

"Are you ready to talk now?" She asked. "I want you to tell me what happened."

"Nothing happened. You've got this delusion in your head that I did something when the truth is Toby just had a heart attack. It happens. Over five hundred thousand die from them every year." I argued.

"Maybe you would like to take this upstairs to the chem lab. It's quieter up there." She declared.

Spencer's POV

"Are you okay?' Alex asked me. "You seem distracted."

"It's just all of the weird stuff that's going on." I replied. "I can't remember the last time we had an animal attack and now all of a sudden we had two in a month."

"Well maybe people are just being stupid and going up to wild animals." Alex surmised. "It is probably not anything to worry about as long as you stay out of the woods."

Emily's POV

"I don't think that's a very good idea." I told Jenna.

"It was then that I noticed that she had some guys with her. What exactly was she trying to do?

"You really need to get this idea out of your head." I told her.

I started to run but one of the guys grabbed me. I knew what I had to do to escape. I kissed and started to suck on his life force. His grip weakened as he started to die.

"I knew it." Jenna declared before she came over and hit me with her walking stick. I fell to the ground as I descended into unconsciousness.

So, I found a way to deal with Emily's storyline in the episode. I think this works out. What's Jenna gonna do because we know she'll live. Lucas is played Kane Brown. Also could there be something happening in the future between Noel and Aria? Please don't forget to review.
