"Hello?" Spencer answers.

"Spencer!" Ashley says as her heart practically jumps out of her chest.

Spencer smiles and says with just as much enthusiasm, "Ashley! We're on our way. My dad sneaked me out with him. Mom's completely psycho."

"Um, I knew that from day one, babe." Ashley says smiling.

Spencer smiles, "I guess you did…" Spencer trials off then speaks again, "I can't wait to see you. I feel horrible, we shouldn't have done this—"

"Shh. Shh. Shut up." Ashley laughs, "It's not like I'm getting butt-raped or anything… the food's just horrible." She smiles.

Spencer smiles, "Always with the jokes at a time like this."

"This is the best time."

Spencer smiles and remains silent, "So, what are you gonna do when we come and get you?"

Ashley thinks about it, "I might sock the dumb-ass rent-a-cop then I'm gonna go sock your mother."

"Ashley…" Spencer says in a motherly tone.

"You're right, sorry." Ashley pauses, "I'm gonna get my car then I'm gonna sock your mom—no wait, I'm gonna kill your mom."

"I know she's a bitch but I can't let you kill my mom. Sorry."

Ashley sighs, "I don't know. I really don't wanna let this go Spence. I mean—she got me arrested. How does anyone get over that?"

"I guess you don't."

"I really don't know. I wanna tell your mom off but that never seems to work."

"Maybe we could drive her crazy." Spencer says deviously.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not gonna listen to her. She can't keep me away from you, Ash, no matter how bad she wants to. If I let dad know where I am she can't do anything. She can't keep calling the police after us or you."

"Hmm, does this plan at all involve me hitting your mom?"

"Nope." Spencer says.

"Damn, but that does sound like a pretty good plan…"

"I like it."

"I love it. As long as I get to be with you right?"

Spencer smiles and the guard tells Ashley her time is up so she gets off the phone and heads back to her cell. She waits for Spencer, Mr. Carlin and Kyla to come back so she can get the hell out of here. Maybe Spencer's plan will work. I mean what more does a parent hate than being ignored by their on child? Hmm maybe it's being gay. Ha, I'm funny. I can't wait to see Spencer and thank Mr. C, oh, and I guess Kyla. I have such a great family. Ashley thinks as she lies down on her cot.

Kyla, Spencer and Mr. Carlin show up to get Ashley out. Mr. Carlin explains the situation to the cops on how Ashley's a minor and how she can't be kept there. Spencer and Arthur go out to the front to wait for Ashley to get her car; Kyla's in the bathroom.

"Dad, can I go with Ashley tonight?" Spencer asks looking down the road.

Arthur doesn't say anything for a few seconds so Spencer looks at him, "Yeah, why not?"

Spencer looks at her dad then hugs him, "Thanks, dad. I love you." She whispers in his ear.

"I love you, too, kid." Arthur says hugging Spencer back.

Spencer leans back with her arms still wrapped around her dad, "Wait, what are you gonna tell mom?"

Arthur doesn't hesitate, "The truth."

Spencer blinks, "And what's that?"

"You're staying with a friend."

Spencer shakes her head, "No, tell her that I'm with Ashley."

"If that's what you really want." Arthur says smiling.

Spencer smiles, "Well, she has to get over it. I'm sick of having to choose between her and Ashley. I want them both but she's not being very understanding."

Arthur nods his head, "I know. I know."

Spencer places her head on her dad's chest, "That's why I love you. You're so understanding." Arthur smiles. Ashley speeds around the station corner and stops abruptly in front of Spencer and Mr. Carlin.

Ashley throws an arm in the air while her hand is making the rock sign, "I love you, Mr. C, you're the greatest!"

Spencer and her dad look at Ashley and smile. Arthur waves, "I love you, too, Ashley."

Spencer hugs her dad once more before she walks over to Ashley's car. Spencer hops in the passenger seat and they both wave as they make their way onto the main road. Arthur waves, "She's growing up so fast." He says to himself or so he thinks.

"Um, yeah. She was my ride; I caught a cab here." Kyla says. Arthur smiles and laughs. He agrees to take Kyla home.

Ashley and Spencer drive to Ashley's house, for the second time today, Spencer interrupts the silence, "Where we going?"

"We are going to… the beach!" Ashley gets an amazing idea.

Spencer smiles with her eyes closed and leaning far back in the chair, "It's nearly close to midnight on a Friday night."

"Spencer, that's even more of a reason to do it."

Spencer shakes her head, "That's what all the convicts say when they get out of jail. They never learn their lessons."

Ashley smiles, "If my lesson's to stop loving you, hell no, I'll never learn it."

Spencer smiles and looks at Ashley, "Yeah, you wouldn't and neither would I."

"I'm such a difficult student, I know." Ashley says smiling.

Spencer laughs, "You're a difficult student? Psh, you're a difficult person."

Ashley looks at Spencer but then back at the road, "But you love me."

Spencer nods her head, "Yeah, I do. I find your superego super hot."

Ashley smiles big, "I totally know." Spencer rolls her eyes and looks to the left, smiling. Ashley places her hand on Spencer's knee, "And I'm totally in love with your smoking bod." She says sounding like Madison and rolling her eyes playfully.

Spencer puts her hand on Ashley's hand, "What about my personality?"

Ashley makes a shocked face, "You have a personality?"

Spencer makes and appalled face and smacks Ashley on the arm lightly, "Shut up."

Ashley smiles and stares at the road, "Just kidding. I love your bubbly, ex-cheerleader, Ohio-raised, everyone-is-so-nice attitude, it's so attractive."

Spencer blows a kiss to Ashley, "Doesn't everyone?"

Ashley narrows her eyes, "You better not be caring about everyone. You should be caring rather I love it or not."

Spencer smiles and leans over to kiss Ashley on the cheek; "I love you."

"Changing the subject, good job."

Spencer leans away from Ashley, "I totally know." She says mocking Ashley from earlier. Ashley smiles and continues to drive to the beach.

Arthur walks in the door after dropping Kyla off at her house, "Where is she?" Paula says waiting by the door.

Arthur heads toward the stairs, "She's with Ashley."

Paula stands up and walks over to cut Arthur off, "How could you do that?"

Arthur stops, "Do what?"

"Sneak her out to go see that… that—"

Arthur interrupts, "That what? That wonderful young lady?"

Paula scoffs, "Wonderful, Arthur? That girl jumped on me at school." Paula yells at him.

"I'm sure it was with good reason." Arthur says with a low voice.

Paula places a hand on each hip, "How can you take her side?"

Arthur drops his cell; "I'm not taking sides, Paula! There are no sides, you know your wrong."

"Spencer is sick. She doesn't know what she's doing, she—"

"No! She's not. And I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about having Ashley arrested! She didn't do anything wrong." Arthur says.

"She kidnapped our daughter! She took her away."

"Only after you—"

Paula points to herself, "So this is my fault? You're blaming all of this on me?"

Arthur sighs, "I'm not blaming you for anything. If you were just more understanding then this would be better. I'm sure Spencer would be here right now if you—"

"If I let her have lesbian sex in my house? Well, while I'm at it why don't I let Glen have sex here. Or better yet why don't I invite all the gays into my house and let them do whatever? Would that be good enough for you, Arthur?" Paula says being a smart-ass.

"No, Paula, that's not at all what I meant. You don't have to invite anyone in your house. Just try to keep your daughter in the house. Atleast be civil to her girlfriend."

Paula flares her nostrils; "She's not her girlfriend."

Arthur sighs, "Yes, she is. They are together. They are a couple just like you and I, just like Glen and Madison and just like Clay and Chelsea. They are Spencer and Ashley, they're…Spashley. Get over it, she's your daughter. Whatever happened to love and nurture."

Paula looks at Arthur with disgusted eyes, "I can't deal with this anymore." Paula walks to the kitchen to get her keys.

Arthur yells to the kitchen, "Do what?"
