Again, thanks for the reviews. I'm kinda having issues balancing the Palex and Spashley storylines as I'm a Spashley writer at heart. Here's another (short) update.

"Hazel!" Paige cried out as she ran towards her old friend, hugging her as soon as she got close enough, "Hey! How are you?"

"I'm good. You?" they pulled out of the hug, "You look good!" She looked up and saw Alex, "Are you two..." she tilted her head upwards motioning towards Alex.

"What?" Paige asked in disbelief, "No! I just ran into her a few weeks ago and made her come."

Hazel gave Paige a look that said, 'I don't believe you'. By then, Alex had wandered over to them, "Hey Alex."

"Hi Hazel. How've the last ten years treated you?"

"Great. Just great. Come here," she grabbed both girls by the hand, "You guys have to meet my fiancée."

" Fiancée?" Paige questioned.

It was too late to get any answers. They were already standing in front of the man that must be Hazel's fiancée, "Mike, this is Paige and Alex. Paige was like my best friend all through school," she paused, not knowing what to say about Alex, "And Alex, well we met a little later."

"Nice to meet you Mike," Paige said as he stood up.

"Good to meet you two ladies too," he shook each of their hands, "Hazel couldn't stop talking about both of you these past few days leading up to the reunion. She was so excited for you to meet me."

"And I'm glad we have," Alex added.

"Paige!" Ellie came into the picture, "How ARE you?"

"Well don't you look fabulous?" Paige replied.

"Thanks. I went to the spa a few days ago to get ready for this. I did want to look as good as possible. It was great. We should go the next time we visit."

"The last time we saw each other was two years ago," Paige replied realistically.

"All the more reason for me to fly in and have a spa day with you."

"That sounds like fun Ellie."

"Hey Kyla," Ashley said as she rushed in and sat down, "Sorry, I went over to Spencer's and we were watching a movie... I lost track of time."

Spencer walked in behind Ashley, "Hi Kyla. How've you been?" she asked awkwardly, sitting down next to Ashley.

"I've been alright. You look good."

"Thanks. You too."

There was a pause. Finally Kyla said, "Okay. I don't buy it?"

"Buy what?" Ashley asked innocently.

"The movie excuse," Kyla replied, "So?"

Ashley blushed, "So what?"

"I think you're cheating on Paige!" Kyla accused. She looked at Spencer.

"I'm pleading the fifth here," Spencer looked away.

"Thats alright. I never liked Paige much anyway."

"Kyla!" Ashley exclaimed.

"What?"

"Be nice," Spencer added in.

"I'm just saying," Kyla continued, "Paige is nice... she's just not..." Kyla trailed off.

"Just not what huh?" Ashley was stupid enough to ask.

Kyla sighed, "I just don't think that Paige holds a candle to Spencer," Kyla motioned across the table towards Spencer like she had to clarify who she was talking about.

Spencer blushed, "Thank you Kyla."

"So?" Kyla looked to Spencer again.

"Why do you keep looking at me? Flattery will get you nowhere."

"Damn," Kyla muttered sarcastically, "And here I thought it would," she paused, "I wasn't trying to flatter you to get anything out of you. I was telling the truth."

"Alright. Thanks."

"Kyla, not a word to Paige," Ashley knew it was no use hiding it from Kyla.

"Its none of my business who you do," Kyla replied, raising her hands halfway up in the air briefly.

"Good," Ashley replied.
