Two security guards lead Byron out from the room.
"Congratulations, you girls won." says Ella, gving Aria and Mona a hug.
"Thanks, mom." says Aria.
"Actually the one who deserves a thank you, is Veronica. She's the one who fought for your justice against Byron and Alberto." says Ella.
"Thank you, Mrs Hastings." says Mona.
"I simply did my job, though I'm glad you girls survived this whole thing." says Veronica.
"Mom, should I pay Mrs Hastings for this?" says Aria. "I hope I can scrap together enough money in a flinch..."
"Let me take care of that. I'm glad to be able to help my daughter and the love of her life." says Ella. "So, Veronica...how much?"
"Ella, there's honestly no rush with that detail. I'm sure we can agree on a fair price later. I don't need you to pay me right away. Really. You and I can make a deal next month or something." says Veronica.
"Oh, thanks." says Ella with a sweet smile.
"No problem. It was an honor to help. It really was." says Veronica.
"Thanks, Mrs Hastings." says Aria and Mona.
"You're welcome, ladies." says Veronica.
The next day.
"Aria, did you hear that there's this ballroom dance event at Rosewood Nobility Club on Saturday? I managed to get a couple tickets, but I'm not sophisticated enough to go, but you are. Take your sexy Mona with you and have a nice good time." says Hanna.
"Really? Those tickets usually go for around 700 bucks. Are you really givin' me your tickets?" says Aria surprised.
"Yeah, I am giving away my tickets. I'm not really fancy enough for such an event and I know you love them and it's a chance for you to take Mona out on an amazing date for free." says Hanna as she open her purse and pull out the tickets.
Hanna hands the tickets to Aria.
"Here, take them. You owe me nothing. I really want you to go to this. Just take Mona with you and have a great night." says Hanna.
"Okay. Thanks, Han. One question though...how did you get these tickets?" says Aria.
"I won them in some online contest on, the Gucci website, I think it was." says Hanna.
"I understand. Thanks." says Aria.
"No probs, Aria." says Hanna with a cute smile.
"Okay." says Aria.
Aria put the shiny gold-colored tickets into her purse.
2 hours later.
"Mona, we're goin' to the dance at the Nobility Club on Saturday night." says Aria.
"You have tickets? Cool." says Mona.
"We have Hanna's tickets. She didn't wanna go so she gave her tickets to me instead." says Aria.
"Okay. Awesome." says Mona.
"I've always wanted to go to the official dance of nobles. I'm very happy that I finally get the opportunity." says Aria.
"Awww!" says Mona. "I'm happy for you, babe."
"Thanks." says Aria.
Aria gives Mona a kiss.
"Hi, love-birds." says Alison as she walk up to Mona and Aria.
"Hi, Ali, what's up?" says Aria.
"Nothing special. I just wanted to ask if you ladies wanted to go get coffee." says Alison.
"Sounds nice." says Aria.
"Yeah." says Mona.
4 days later it is Saturday.
Aria is trying on a fancy black gown.
"Aria, why are you all dressed up?" says Ella as she enter Aria's room.
"I'm goin' to the dance at the Nobility Club." says Aria.
"How did you get tickets? It's been sold out for months, as always." says Ella.
"Hanna won tickets online and gave 'em to me so Mona and I could go." says Aria.
"Okay. That was very sweet of Hanna. Have fun." says Ella.
45 minutes later, Aria step out from a cab outside the Rosewood Nobility Club's building which happen to be an elegant mansion from 1866.
"Here ya go." says Aria as she hands the cab driver 55 dollars.
Aria smile as she enter the mansion.
15 minutes later, Mona show up and she wear a black gown too.
"Hi, babe." says Mona.
"Hi, babe." says Aria.
Aria and Mona hold hands as they walk into the main ballroom.
"It's a great honor to welcome you, ladies and gentlemen, to the Rosewood Nobility Club's annual dance night. I hope you will have a very good time." says Chris Martin, president of the Rosewood Nobility Club.
The band starts to play classic slow romance music.
"Mona, my love, may I have this dance with you?" says Aria.
"Of course, babe." says Mona.
Aria gently take Mona by the hand and lead her out onto the huge white dance floor.
They hold each other tight as they dance to the music.
"Aria, you're so beautiful." says Mona.
"Awwww! Thank you." says Aria.
"You're a good dancer." says Mona.
"I try to be and I think you're good as well." says Aria.
"Thanks." says Mona.
45 minutes later, the band starts to play much faster, less classic music.
"Oh yeah! Let's rock." says Aria with a seductive smile as she start to dance to the speed of the music, spinning Mona around and such.
"Mmm, awesome!" says Mona, clealry having a fun time.
When the music get to a paus, Noel Khan suddenly walk up to Aria and Mona.
"Aria, since when are you dancing with chicks? You're supposed to be straight." says Noel with a rude tone.
"Noel, I'm gay and you should leave me alone and keep your nose out of my love-life. Step away." says Aria with confidence.
"You're gay? Disgusting. See you never more, Aria Montgomery." says Noel.
"Noel seems upset that he lost his chance with you." says Mona.
"I think he's a rich sex-crazy man who just want what he can't have, in this case me." says Aria.
"Yeah, that is probably true." says Mona.
"Yeah." says Aria.
"Mmm, me love you so much." says Mona as she gives Aria a kiss.
"I love you a lot as well, baby Mona, my love." says Aria with a sexy sweet smile.
"Hi, ladies." says Spencer as she walk up to Aria and Mona.
"Hi, Spence." says Aria.
"I didn't know you two were invited." says Spencer.
"We aren't. Hanna won tickets and gave them to me." says Aria.
"I understand. I'm glad to see you. Everyone else here are kinda boring." says Spencer.
"Don't you have a date?" says Mona.
"No, I'm here alone, taking my mom's place. She's sick and couldn't go so I represent the hastings family tonight." says Spencer.
"Where's your dad...?" says Aria.
"He decided to stay home and keep mom company." says Spencer.
"Awww, so sweet." says Aria.
"Want drinks?" says Spencer.
"Sure." says Aria and Mona.
Spencer leave and return 12 minutes later with drinks for herself, Mona and Aria.
"Here you go, wine from Italy. 1783, a very good year. Mozart wrote his great magnificent mass, the brothers de Montgolfier went up in their first functional balloon...and England finally recognized the independence of the United States." says Spencer.
"Really?" says Mona.
"Oh yes, right, Aria?" says Spencer.
"Yeah, true." says Aria.
"Have a good time, guys. See ya." says Spencer as she walk away.
"Mona, you're so sweet, smart, nice and beautiful. I love you." says Aria.
"Thanks, babe. I love you a lot too." says Mona.
The band starts to play a slow song again.
"Wanna dance?" says Mona with a smile.
"Yes, babe." says Aria as she smile as well.
They start to dance.
"You look so erotic when you dance." says Mona.
"So do you, babe." says Aria.
At the same time in jail.
"I need to find a way out." says Byron.
The jail cell is small and dark.
"Shut up! People are tryin' to sleep over here." says a man in the cell next door.
"Fuck you." says Byron.
"Shut up!" says the man in the cell next door.
"Whatever..." mumbles Byron.
The next day.
"Babe, last night was awesome." says Mona.
"Yeah, it truly was, babe." says Aria.
"Mmm, you're cute." says Mona.
"Thanks, babe." says Aria with a sexy smile.
"Wanna go to the Brew?" says Mona.
"Yeah. I've not had any coffee today." says Aria.
"Who's turn is it to pay?" says Mona.
"I think it's your turn, babe." says Aria as she giggle a bit.
"Okay." says Mona with a cute smile.
When they get to the Brew, Emily is there, drinking coffee.
"Hi, Em." says Aria with smile.
"Hi, girls." says Emily in a bright soft tone.
"How's life?" says Aria.
"Amazing. Last night, Ali asked me to marry her." says Emily.
"Wow! That's very sweet." says Aria. "Congrats, Em."
"Thanks, Aria." says Emily.
"I'll get the coffee." says Mona.
Mona goes to the counter to order coffee and Aria sit down to talk to Emily.
"Em, how's college search goin'...?" says Aria.
"Really good. I might get accepted into Stanford. What about you?" says Emily.
"Well, I'm pretty much promised a spot at Hollis, but since Mona found out that she got into Harvard, I've decided to apply as well so we can go to college together." says Aria.
"Okay. I understand. Ali and I would really love to go to the same college too, but she's sent her application to UPen." says Emily.
"It's still not too late to apply to UPen, Emily." says Aria.
"True, but I can't resist the swim program at Stanford and I heard that Demi Grayson II is the swim-team coach there and she's a famous former olympic gold-medal winner." says Emily.
"Everything has its ups and downs, do what your heart tells you. Usually that is the best way." says Aria.
"Yeah. Thanks for the advice, girl." says Emily.
"You're welcome." says Aria.
"I hope I can keep being a swimmer even though my relationship with Ali moves into a new chapter." says Emily.
"Ali truly love you, she'll make sure you have time for swimming." says Aria.
"Awww!" says Emily. "You're probably right..."
"Yeah." says Aria.
"Is your relationship with Mona okay?" says Emily.
"Oh yeah, it's absolutely wonderful." says a happy Aria.
"Aria and me have a totally awesome relationship." says Mona as she return with coffee for herself and Aria.
"I'm happy for you." says Emily.
"Thanks." says Aria and Mona.
"Aria told you're going to Harvard." says Emily.
"Yes I am. Last week, I got an e-mail saying I got in." says Mona.
"Nice." says Emily with a smile.
"Thanks, Em." says Mona.
