The chain of events is screwed up I'm sure, but just bare with me! I'm in a different country, and haven't seen any of the episodes this season, so I'm relying on snippets from YouTube!
"And cut!" The director finally yelled after the three girls had been working on the scene all morning.
It was the scene where Emily, Aria, and Spencer all congregated to talk about supporting Hanna while her mom was in jail. It ended with the girls all grabbing ahold of each other's hands in support.
"So, threesome?" Lucy said jokingly right after the director yelled 'cut,' making everyone burst out into laughter.
"Oh Goose…you wish, but I don't think you could handle us." Troian said as she pulled Lucy into a hug and whispered in her ear, getting Lucy to bark out a laugh.
"Alright, Lucy has to stay and go get touched up. Troian and Shay, you are wrapped for the day. See you ladies tomorrow. Remember there are a few interviews tomorrow morning before shooting."
"Perfect! See you all tomorrow." Troian said as she got ready to walk away.
"Thanks guys, see you tomorrow." Shay added before they started leaving the set.
"So do you want to go home, get changed, and then we can go take the little munchkin on a walk at the beach? It's a really nice day out." Troian asked as she and Shay hopped into Troian's BMW after they changed out of their character's clothes.
"That sounds great. We could grab lunch at the café on the boardwalk?" Shay asked with a small smile.
"Of course. And yes, we can get pizza and share it." Troian said with a smirk, knowing exactly where the conversation was going.
"Uh, you're amazing! This is why I love you."
"Because I'll share pizza with you? Glad to know." She said with a wink.
"One of the many reasons why I love you. It's like you're telepathic sometimes. Amazing."
About an hour later, they were walking along the Santa Monica boardwalk with Foxy, gaining some attention. They hadn't been approached by anyone, but they had gotten a few knowing looks from people.
Shay and Troian had just finished laughing heavily at something Shay had said when Troian grabbed her girlfriend's hand and squeezed it gently.
"Are you sure?" Shay asked uncertainly as she gazed into her girlfriend's eyes.
"I think it's about time we got to act like a couple outside of our houses and the set, don't you?"
"Definitely." Shay said with an incredibly bright smile.
They continued to walk around hand in hand for a few more minutes before they sat down on a bench overlooking the water and sand.
Troian slung her arm around Shay's shoulder, smiling when Shay reached up and linked her hand with Troian's.
The girls were definitely the happiest that they'd been in a while because they were no longer being secretive. Shay leaned over and gently kissed the brunette on the cheek, causing her to smile and lean into her girlfriend.
"I really love you; you know that, right?" Shay asked as Troian looked at her and nodded.
"I know. I really love you too, Shannon. An unbelievable amount."
"Today was an amazing day. Thank you." Troian said sincerely as she opened the front door of her house for her girlfriend.
"Don't thank me, you're the one who initiated it, so thank you!"
"Well you went along with it, and it was fabulous."
"It was. It was also surprisingly liberating, even if no one noticed." Shay admitted as she walked towards her girlfriend and hung her arms around the brunette's neck before leaning forward to kiss her gently.
Their kisses were interrupted by Shay's constantly vibrating phone, which was making a lot of noise on the table.
"I bet that's Ashley and she saw a picture of us today from some gossip article." Troian said as she looked deeply into Shay's eyes.
"You're probably right, Miss Bellisario." She admitted as she took a step back from Troian to grab her phone and answer it.
She had to hold the phone away from her ear as soon as she heard Ashley screaming out of excitement into the phone.
Shay and Troian both laughed once they heard Tyler in the background begging her to stop yelling.
Troian decided to let the two girls discuss what they wanted to in private, so she grabbed her phone and walked into the living room, smiling as she read some of her text messages.
Way to go, dude. Tyler had texted her, making her smile brightly, especially since he knew where this was going.
"I thought I would never hear the end of her screaming." Shay said as she walked into the living room and fell onto the couch, landing with her head right next to Troian's thigh.
"What did she have to say?" Troian asked as she tucked some hair behind Shay's ear.
"She said that it was about time and she screeched many other unintelligible things."
"Well we're officially out; how does it feel?"
"It feels great, actually. I feel like a weight has been lifted. And now we can hold hands and be all couple-y in public." She said as she grabbed Troian's hand and kissed it.
"We definitely can." Troian said with a smile as she leaned over and kissed Shay on the lips.
The next morning, they made it onto set at 7 and went straight into hair and makeup. The girls all had to do 4 individual interviews that morning, so they got into their hair, makeup, and wardrobes before going to start their interviews at 9. The plan was to be done with the interviews and start the first scene of the day at 10am.
All four of the girls were expecting interviews that were based heavily around Shay and Troian's relationship, so they had all chatted in the makeup trailer about what to say and what not to say.
"So, almost two years ago, you told me that you and Troian get together to have movie nights at her house. Still doing those?" The interviewer asked Shay with a sly smile.
"We are. She's still broadening my view on films. We actually had a movie night last night." She said with a slight blush.
"And most nights I'm assuming, especially since it's just come to light that you two are in a relationship."
"We do have movie nights often, but not every night." Shay said truthfully.
"Well I'm very happy for you two, you're a beautiful couple."
"Thank you."
"So, about Emily and Paige this season…"
"So, Troian, is this something new?" The interviewer asked as she showed a picture of Shay and her on the beach cuddled together on the bench.
"Not at all."
"Really?"
"We've been dating for almost a year now, actually." The brunette said, stunning the interviewer.
"Wow, and you've managed to keep it a secret from everyone?"
"No, we told our friends and family. And of course everyone on set knew, we just didn't publicly come out and say it."
"So why now then?"
"It felt like the right time; we have a great relationship and got to enjoy it privately for a while, but we both wanted to go public."
"So do you think the rumors that you're dating Keegan will stop now?"
"I doubt it!" Troian said with a laugh, "I think people will always want me and Keegan to get together and be like a real life 'Spoby,' so I'm sure rumors will still float around."
"So I hear that two members of the cast have recently shared some exciting information!"
"I know; it's so amazing! I'm so happy for them!" Ashley all but squealed as she spoke with the interviewer.
"How long have you know about their relationship?"
"Oh, for months. I've known since the very beginning; Shay and I chatted about it once she and Troian started dating."
"And you approve of their relationship?"
"Of course I do! They're both my girls and I've seen them both in different relationships and now that they're together, it just clicks. It's definitely a great pairing with the two of them."
"Well I'm sure they're glad you support them."
"I'll always support them. And I love hanging out with them together because it is literally the sweetest relationship, they really take care of each other."
"It sounds like you're a real life Spemily shipper then."
"Yeah, I guess so." Ashley chuckled, "Most of the cast and crew have been referring to them as 'Tray,' but we're open to suggestions on the name." The blonde laughed again.
"That's a good one! And I'm sure the fans already have a ton of shipper names for those two."
"I know that Troian and Shay are now officially a couple. Any other couples on set?"
"I'm so happy for them! They are honestly the cutest couple ever; they're beyond adorable with each other. And there may be other couples on the set, but I'm not at liberty to say." Lucy said as she shrugged happily.
"So did you have any advice for the two lovebirds when they got together?"
"I did not! Because ½ of that relationship is Troian and she knows so much more than me! But she does enjoy gushing to me about Shay. Quite a bit, actually."
"That's adorable! I never would've guessed that she's a gushy one when it comes to talking about relationships."
"She normally isn't, but she is with Shay! It's beyond adorable! I've been over to Shay's a few times when all four of us are there, and we'll have pizza making nights and watch movies. Its a blast!"
"So you are all good friends in real life then?"
"Oh, definitely!" Lucy confirmed with a sincere smile.
After the end of a long work day, Troian walked into her dressing room and found Shay curled up on her couch, asleep. The brunette smiled at her adorable girlfriend before she quickly changed into her regular clothes.
Troian kissed Shay's forehead lightly as she rubbed her back, smiling when she saw the girl open her eyes slowly.
"Are you done now?"
"Yeah, how about we go home?"
"Alright. Let's go." She said tiredly as Troian smiled and helped her off the couch.
The girls spent the car ride in mostly silence, with the radio on in the background.
"So how'd your interviews go?" Troian asked to a still sleepy Shay.
"They went really well, it was nice to finally tell the truth about who I am dating."
"It definitely was, wasn't it? Very freeing."
The girls walked into Troian's house, setting their bags down by the door as they walked further into the house.
Shay was walking through the living room when she noticed that the picture wall was now done and she stopped quickly.
"You finished it." She said with a look of amazement as she stepped closer to look at the pictures.
"Last night." Troian confirmed, "I had them all in frames already, I just had to hang them. And I couldn't sleep, so I came out here and did it as quietly as I could to let you sleep."
"These are all amazing, T." She said as she poured over the photos.
There were pictures of the LA sunset, Troian with many PLL cast mates and many, many pictures of Shay with Troian. They ranged from older, pre relationship pictures, to ones that were taken recently. There were also a few family pictures of Troian and her family. As well as a picture of Troian as a young child right next to a very young picture of Shay.
"How'd you get this picture?" She asked with a laugh.
"Your parents, they've sent me a few things in the mail." Troian said mysteriously.
"You know, they really like you."
"I really like them, too. They raised an amazing person." Troian said truthfully as Shay smiled and blushed.
"What picture are you going to put in the middle?" Shay asked as she noticed the rather large gap in the middle of all the pictures.
"The perfect picture. It just hasn't come yet." The brunette said carefully.
"What is it of?" Shay asked curiously.
"That is for me to know and you to find out, Miss Mitchell." The brunette said before she walked forward and kissed her girlfriend passionately.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it and thanks so much for reading and reviewing!
