Thank you so much for all of your kind words last chapter/one-shot! You're amazing and far too good to me!

Just a reminder, this is an nontraditional series of one-shots. They can be taken in order of filming or as separate entities, but they will be posted out of order because that is how I'm writing them. This wasn't my plan until I had received all of your amazing feedback and requests, so sorry it's so out of sorts. They are however written so they can be taken either way to appease more of you :)

So, as stated in the chapter title, this one is based around the filming of 2x25 and is much more Troian-based. For the sake of the story, I did make up some stuff that you may feel doesn't make sense, but creative freedom and all of that jazz. The only thing I really knew about this episode in regards to how filming went is that the whole cast and crew had more fun than they ever had, to date at least, and well, that was fun enough to play with :)

Enjoy!

This by no means reflects the true feelings of Troian Bellisario and Keegan Allen. No disrespect meant to anyone, clearly a work of fiction.

2x25

The filming of the second season finale was the most incredible and fun experience the cast had shared together to date. Ending a season was usually bittersweet; but this finale was solving answers that the fans, and the cast, had been burning to know since the beginning of Pretty Little Liars. A was finally about to be revealed!

The hours passed far too quickly for everyone's liking. The sets had been better than ever, the masquerade set and A's lair far more incredible than they imagined. The energy among all the cast and crew working the late night was at an all-time high and even though they were scheduled to stop shooting an hour ago, no one was ready to call it quits for the day.

Lesli Linka Glatter was the director for the episode and, after speaking with the necessary people, like Marlene King, decided to extend the night's shoot to cover the scene outside of the police station as well.

Since the shoot was unexpected, Lesli pulled Troian aside. "So Troian, Keegan isn't scheduled for set tonight. So we'll have to revamp you up and do the Spoby half of the scene tomorrow." she explained.

Troian nodded. It made sense. They'd try the girls' reactions from a few different angles. It would make shooting tomorrow flow much better and the make-up artists were so flawless you wouldn't even notice a difference from one night to the next even though they'd have to be completely redone from scratch.

It was rather common for that sort of thing to happen in Hollywood. That's why acting extended not just from getting into a character in the moment, but portraying emotions or reactions when something was literally nonexistent. Green screen actors, for instance, had to have a strong enough imagination to pour themselves into a role without even knowing what they were facing and find a way to react appropriately to it.

The way the blocking worked for the show, Troian and Keegan hadn't seen each other in a few weeks. The pair were really close before they even started starring in scenes together last season, so normally they hung out outside of work all of the time. But he'd been out of town visiting his family the last couple weeks so they mostly had been texting. She couldn't lie; she had missed him on set. He'd been absent for several episodes this season and he was normally the person she spent the majority of her time with so she was looking forward to seeing him again.

But she'd just have to wait until tomorrow.

When the actors found their marks, the scene began.

Troian pushed through the black double doors with Annabeth Gish; Shay, Lucy and Ashley followed closely behind.

"I never thought I'd have the strength to come back here." 'Dr. Sullivan' explained. "But your friend showed up and he was very convincing. I help people push through their fears and he helped me push through mine."

Troian pulled out her best confused face. "Wait, our friend?"

She nodded forwards and all the girls followed her gaze. However, instead of staring at an empty lot, Troian found her eyes landing on a smirking man, leaning far too nonchalantly against the tan truck.

Keegan.

Troian's face remained the mixed mask of confusion and hope, portraying Spencer regardless of what the cast had thrown at her. She now knew that this was their plan all along. Keegan must have shown up or been called in and they wanted authentic feeling for the shot.

The reality was that Keegan was due back from his trip that night but Troian never imagined him visiting the set at two a.m. Most people didn't know he had gone away at all but someone must have tipped off the crew that the best friends hadn't seen each other in a while. After all, everybody knew the two were inseparable. The joke that went around was if you couldn't find Troian, look for Keegan.

Keegan pushed off the truck and crossed the road, coming to meet her. Without even meaning to, Troian quickened her pace, feeling her heart begin to beat out of her chest in anticipation.

He was only a foot away now, his eyes practically dousing her with their blueness. She inhaled the briefest waft of his cologne and the familiar scent made her heart clench. She felt the tears forming in her eyes, not realizing they had started as soon as she saw him waiting for her. She desperately wanted to run to him, wanted to leap into his arms in a hug like she had done so many times before. But her professionalism and need to not be one-upped by everybody kept her in character. She stopped on her mark, silent, eyes frantically seeking his.

Keegan breathed in and spoke tenderly. "Pretending not to love you was the hardest thing I've ever done."

Troian could hear his own apology of keeping his appearance a secret interlaced in his line. The blue of his eyes changed, reminding her more of dreary rain puddles than their usual ocean hues. He was dripping in sincerity and she knew from experience that his eyes changed color based on his emotions.

Troian used her feelings of annoyance at the others keeping it a secret from her and especially him for not enlightening her that he was coming the very same night he arrived home, and took her scripted swipe at him.

But Keegan was faster, snatching her wrist before she could make contact with his face, and pulling her so close so fast her breath really did leave her. He looked deep in her eyes and she couldn't help but feel weak in the knees as he leaned closer to kiss her.

Troian remembered the script well. Toby was supposed to kiss Spencer lovingly, but with enough passion that it felt like they had been waiting for it for as long as they had been. Spencer was supposed to be sort of stunned at first and then get into it, breaking away smiling up at him in excitement.

But when Keegan got that close, Troian suddenly lost control of her body. His lips met hers and at first she simply reveled in the moment. She knew she should slow things down and keep it as close to the script as possible, but she couldn't help loving the fact that he still tasted as he had the last time she kissed him; he tasted familiar and warm and like home. They had been playing each other's love interests for over a year now and being this close to him just came so naturally now. She wasn't even aware of the emotion as her hands suddenly leapt to clutch his face to hers, kissing him harder as he mirrored her actions. Their lips moved excitedly over each other, as it should've been, and Troian loved how he pulled her even closer with every kiss.

They broke apart for a moment, both overjoyed and emotional and she half-sobbed/half-laughed in giddiness. She ran her gaze over every inch of his face, soaking him in. The skin around his mouth crinkled in that adorable way when he was really-really-happy-smiling and she couldn't stop her hands from stroking his face lovingly, having missed even his dimples.

Although their kiss was supposed to end there, Troian dove up for another, and another, and Keegan was all too happy to oblige. They had kissed over a dozen times, her hands travelling from grasping behind his neck to running through his hair. She couldn't get enough. She pressed affectionate kiss after affectionate kiss to his soft mouth. He was right there.

She didn't know it was possible to miss a person so much. She hadn't realized just how much she did until he had returned.

Troian got brought back to earth by the yell of cut but Keegan didn't let her go. He leaned his forehead against hers, breathing heavily, obviously out of breath from their make-out session.

"God, I missed you." he whispered so only she could hear. She felt a little thrill electrocute her heart at his words. She could tell by the way he held her that he was feeling the same way as her; he didn't want to separate at all.

"I missed you like crazy." Troian admitted softly, snaking her arms around his neck to pull him into a tight hug. She burrowed her face in his shoulder, hoping to hide her tears of joy from him, clinging to him as if he might suddenly disappear into a puff of smoke.

The pair sort of had forgotten about everybody else until the clapping and cheering started, the girls coming over to tease Troian and greet their long-lost friend.

"You all are going to pay for that." Troian called out to the group, unable to stop the grin on her face.

Keegan's arm was around her waist now, holding her close to his side in a half-hug, and despite the slight embarrassment of being the only one out of the loop, Troian couldn't remember the last time she had felt this at ease.

She raised her eyes to look up at Keegan who was talking animatedly to Shay, Ashley and Lucy. Her heart swelled with even more affection as she heard his laugh when he saw Ian practically bounding over to greet his best friend.

Troian squeezed around his waist affectionately without even thinking about it and he smiled dazzlingly down at her. Her chocolate eyes filled with mixed-emotion-tears at the realization of what all of this meant.

There was no mistaking the feeling in her heart, the one she had been desperately trying to beat down for almost two years. She had always tried denying it, pretty much since they had gotten close which took mere moments after their first meeting. But when he was away so much that season of filming the aching caught up with her and she knew her days of pretending they were just friends were over.

The truth was Troian was falling in love with her best friend. The question was what in the world she was going to do about it…
