With a full belly and a confused expectation of her night, Spencer just decided to trust Ashley on the plans for the rest of the night.

"Are we almost there, Ash?" Spencer whined from the passenger seat.

"Not yet, okay?! There's still like ten more minutes left. Look," Ashley then pulls out her iPod and hands it over to the blonde. "… pick out some 'calming' tunes and just sit back and relax, for once… okay?"

Spencer lets herself give way of a slight sigh before picking something calming and soothing.

"Oh, Ash! I love this song! I can't believe you, Ashley Davies, would have such a girly song on her iPod!"

Ashley quickly turns her attention away from the road to give Spencer one of her deathly stares.

"What's that suppose to mean?" She says with a hint of knowing in her voice.

Spencer isn't for sure if Ashley was offended by her comment or what, so – she decided that she safest route around this subject would be to just let it go.

"So, yeah – anyway… are we there yet?"

Ashley over-dramatically sighs and rolls her eyes and accelerates down on the gas pedal.

"Okay... open them."

Spencer takes her hands away from her closed eyes and tries hard to make her eyes adjust to the objects in front of her.

"Oh… Ashley – it's beautiful!"

Standing in the middle of the pier, while over-looking the ocean; Spencer and Ashley were both amazed at the radiant glows coming from the moon that night, that it almost took their breathe away.

"Yeah, I know. I didn't realize how pretty it would've been…" she then turns her head to make Spencer her focal point, "… until now."

At that moment, Spencer could sense Ashley looking at her; as if burning a hole in the side of her face.

Ashley knew that this would be the night that all her dreams and wants would spill out beneath the pages. She just knew it would be…

Spencer, on the other hand; knew that this would be the start of something new and possibly a little bit confusing and scary. What happens if we kiss tonight? What would we do afterwards? Jeeze – I'm so nervous… what if it actually happens… tonight?

"So – do you want to sit down with me?"

Snapping back to the scene, Spencer follows Ashley to the end of the pier; where they hang their legs over the side and peer out into the ocean's blue.

"I think this is just about the greatest place I've ever been to in L.A. so far."

"And, why do you say that?"

"Well, in L.A. – everything moves so fast and it's hard to keep up with everyone. But here, you can actually catch your own breath… just in time to take another one." Spencer keeps her focus on the red, bobbing buoy that has a little bell inside of it. Every two or three seconds, it dings and it makes Spencer sway back and forth with the current of the waves.

"This place sure is different in the daytime, though."

"How so?" asked Spencer.

"Well see, in the daytime – this strip of pier is just… wooden planks in the shape of a walkway. But at night – this place is so…"

Ashley's next word was suddenly ripped from her own thoughts.

"Romantic…" without taking her attention off the buoy, Spencer places her right hand over Ashley's.

Ashley looks down at the tanned hand covering hers and states, "You took the words right out of my mouth."

Now, fully aware of the scene that has just been played out in front of her, Spencer looks to her right and comes in contact with a pair of soft, brown eyes.

"Spence, I…" For some reason, Ashley was having a hard time spitting out this sentence. And it made Spencer blush at the sound of all the jumbled up words coming from Ashley's mouth.

"Well… I... I mean, we…"

She was soon cut off again by a pair of warm, inviting, luscious lips grazing her own.

To Ashley, it seemed as if their first kiss set off fireworks and it somehow made time stand still… just for that moment in time.

Now parted, Spencer looked at Ashley with a very soft look and slowly blinked her eyes… not wanting to miss a second of the brunette.

"So… what's next on the agenda, Ashley?"
