Hey Guys, I'm so sorry for the delay for this chapter. I'll try to update faster. I just haven't had too many good ideas for this fanfic. I don't know if this one will be the best but I hope you like it. Enjoy! _

He approached the steps of the Hastings home hoping spencer would be there. He stared at the door for a minute deciding whether to knock or not. Spencer's parents didn't exactly enjoy him hanging out with their daughter. Finally he knocked on the door. He could hear footsteps from inside and the door slowly opened. To his relief it was Spencer.
"Hey Toby, what are you doing here?" Spencer said smiling at him. She took his hand and pulled him inside.
"I was wondering if you were busy today." He had hopeful plans for them today. He crossed his fingers hoping she would say yes.
"No I don't think so. Why what did you have in mind." She smiled at him. He loved her smile. He loved her.
"It's a surprise." He said with a smile on his face. He had a bag in the trunk which contained everything they would need for today.
"Well, let me just get my coat." She kissed him on the cheek and walked upstairs. Moments later she came back down the stairs. She had found her cutest jacket, hoping to impress. She had succeeded by the look in his eye. Even though she had her friends she felt like Toby was the only one who truly understood what she was going through.
"I'm ready." She stated as she went to join him. He took her hand and they walked down the driveway to his car.
"Can you please tell me where we are going?" She asked. She was not one for surprises.
"No, then it wouldn't be a surprise." He said sweetly. The rest of the car ride went by quickly. He finally reached the dirt road which he turned onto. He parked under some trees. And they got out of the car. Spencer looked around. There were so many trees. Their leaves were all changing for the fall. The air smelled fresh and she could hear a river nearby.
"Toby this is so beautiful." was all she managed to say. She turned around and saw him smiling at her. She walked towards him slowly and he wrapped his arms around her. They fit perfectly. He kissed the top of her head and took her hand. He gently pulled her to the opening of a dirt path. They walked for a minute until they reached the end of the path. He looked her way and saw her staring at the river with a smile on her face.
"How did you find this place?" She asked.
"Well, when everyone hates you, you have a lot of free time." She took his face in her hands and softly pressed her lips against his.
"What are we doing out here?" she was still confused why he had brought her here.
" Well, I brought a picnic. And I thought we could just talk."
"I would love that. That's the best offer I've had all year."
" I used to come here to get away, from everything, you know the drama."
"Sometimes I just want to get away from Rosewood. "
"It's not exactly Rosewood that's the problem. It's the people here. And the regrets that happened here."
"I know what you mean, I'm sick of all this Allison drama." He got his bag and took out the blanket. He layed it on the ground and got out the basket of food. Spencer was still standing. He took her hand and pulled her down to the ground so she was staring at him. He looked into her eyes for a minute, taking in her beauty.
"I love you Spencer." He could not believe he actually said it. He was so scared she didn't feel the same way, but he couldn't hold it in any longer. He studied her face for any signs of emotion, but she just smiled and said,
"I love you too." She crawled over to him and kissed him hard. She ran her hands through his soft brown hair, and caressed his cheek. She meant what she had said. She had something special with Toby.
They sat there in each other's arms until the warm afternoon sun sunk into a purple sky. It was the perfect day. The wind was picking up and it was getting cold. They packed up the picnic and made their way back to the car. Toby started the car and turned on the heat. They sat there for a moment, wondering what to say.
"Toby, you know I really meant what I said." She smiled.
"And so did i. I never thought it would be you. You're the first girl I've said that too."
" It's the first time I've said it and actually meant It."
"I don't want this day to end. Now all I have to look forward to is going home and dealing with some more of Jenna's crap." His smile faded.
"It doesn't have to end yet you know. We could see a movie, or go skating."
"Are you serious? I haven't roller skated since I was a little kid." He said smiling. The idea did seem appealing.
"Me either. So what do you think?"
"I'm up for it." They drove downtown to the roller rink, played to get in and for rentals and sat down on the bench next to the shining polished skate floor. The atmosphere there was just so happy. Kids were laughing, dancing, and skating. It reminded Spencer of the many weekends Ali and the rest of her friends spent here. They put their skates on and stood up. Spencer lost her balance and almost fell, but Toby caught her. She smiled up at him and took his hand. They slowly got onto the floor. Toby lost his balance and caught himself. She giggled more than she had in a long time as they were gliding along the floor; falling down, and pretending to do tricks. After an hour they got off the floor and sat down on a bench.
"This is the most fun I've had since Ali disappeared." Spencer said. It was true this was an amazing day.
"It's the most fun I've had since…" Toby could not remember the last time he had fun. He enjoyed skating around with Spencer, when they were together neither of them had a care in the world.
"Well, we better get going… Curfew." Spencer said.
"Right." They took their shoes off and made their way into the parking lot. Toby drove spencer to her house and got out of the car with her so he could walk her to the door. They stood there staring at each other, when they both broke out into laughter. Nothing was funny, they were laughing for no reason. When they finally stopped to catch a breath he grabbed her and kissed her. It was a soft passionate kiss with a lot of feelings poured into it.
"Good night toby, I love you." She said softly pulling him into a strangling hug. She turned around, gave him one last look and shut the door softly.
"I love you too Spencer." He said. Knowing she had not heard him. He truly loved her. He smiled, turned around and walked towards his car. This had been the perfect day.
