Disclaimer: I don't own Pretty Little Liars or Jane by Design or The Lake if I did the lake would've made it to season 2. This is for fun only.
At first everything was going fine but after 30 minutes things started to get crazy. Jason was beganing to think this may have been a bad idea. "Can we stop at the next gas station, I have to use the restroom." Hannah wiggled in the backseat. "Would you quit moving you're driving me up the wall. Oh and if we are stopping can we get some munchies, I'm starving." Aria said looking to the front seat. "You guys we stopped like an hour ago. We are never going to get there if we go on like this." argued Spencer. "Well I didn't have to go an hour ago. Look right there, Jason stop, please or I just go here." Hannah yelled as she pointed to the lights of the gas station. "Oh gosh no Jason stop right now." Aria and Spencer said at the same time. Jason smiled as he pulled into the well lit gas station. "I'm going to get some gas. Spencer and Toby can you help Aria with some snacks and you wouldn't mind going with Hannah to find a restroom right? Mike since Emily is sleeping, would you be alright with staying in the car with her? Buddy system people you just never know." he said while looking back through the rearview mirror. Everyone shoock their head in agreement, minus Spencer of course "In that case I go with you and we all have our wakies right?" again they agreed getting off the vihicle. While inside the store Aria walked up to Jason knowing he was the only one who had a phone in a wistpering tone, "Can I use your phone to call my mom to let her know where we are?" He looked at her raising an eyebraw. She caved, "Ok fine I want to call Ezra, it just with ever..." Handing her the phone cutting her off he said, "Aria you don't have to explain any thing to me. None of us are perfect. We all have are own secrets. If it's alright with everyone you invite him out."
She walkied eveyone and yes even Mike said it was fine. Dialing Ezra's number she knew it was late but hoped he answer. After about three rings she heard a groggy Ezra on the line, "Hello." She smiled at the sound of his voice, "Hey it's me Aria. Sorry I woke you. I'm calling from Jason's phone. All of us are heading out to this lake and I was kinda wondering if you maybe would want to meet us there? Its alright with everyone." She waited for a reply, "Of course I love to. I'm assuming no parents. I'll head out asap." Aria told him the address and reasured him on the no parents and Mike thing saying she loved him as she hung up the phone. She walked back inside giving it back to Jason.
Sudenly Emily and Mike were standing behind Aria, "Hey Aria where is the restroom?" Aria looked up, "It right over there see Caleb. Hannah must be bathing. Haha" Em and Mike both smiled as Emily walked toward Caleb. There was a silence between Mike and Aria for a minute before Aria spoke up, "Mike are you sure you're alright with Ezra coming out to this lake thing because if you're not than I can call and cancel." He looked at his older sister, with a twinkle in his eye as he replied, "Look I'm not mom and dad you don't have to be worried. I know that you love him and you'll love him years from now even if thing get crazy, even if you or he has crushes on other people along the way. You'll always find your way back to each other. At least that what I think. I would like to get to know him." Aria just looked at her little brother in shock, "Wow baby brother when did you get so wise? Thank you so much Mike, I love you." They hugged, letting go and walking to checkout were everyone was already waiting. "Ok everyone gather around for a picture." Toby said seeing as they grown custom to taking a picture at every place they stopped, along with buying a keychain or something.
The Trip was ment to take a good four days if they drove stright through night but with all the stops they were at least a day behind now but he didn't really mind seeing as everyone seemed to forget about Rosewood at the leaving sign. Toby and Caleb came up to him both saying "Thanks by the way." Jogging out of his mind,"For what guys?" They both smiled, "For the advice about not sitting next to the girls, total life saver." Jason looked at them and laughed, "You are welcome." They all piled into the car to continue their journey.
Ben drove her to the airport, lucky she carried her pastport and what not in her purse always. Jane knew if she ever lost the damn bag she would lose her whole identity but with work it was a nessesity. "Ok Jane you good from here or you want me to come with? Aunt Claire is already waiting over there." She got off the car, "Its fine I got it from here. Love you Ben. Thank you again." He smiled at her, "Alright you becareful, love you too, and you're welcome. Oh call me when you get there." Walking away she looked back, "I will. Bye." The plane would take her to an airport five minutes away from a convinant store an hour away from The Lake, after buying supplies, she would call her aunt from there, at least that is what she thought. She slept the whole flight, waking to a flight attendant tapping her, "Miss we are here." She pulled her self up exitting the plane. Oh was she cursing her shoe choice right now. Removing her 6 inch heels she walked to an airport shop buying a pair of flip-flops, sunglasses and, a large mocha. Looking at her resiete saying to her self, "I'll never get used to these crazy prices. Ugh." It was a good thing that it was morning and the air was still fresh, she left the airport and walked to Marty's Lake Store.
Finnaly they were at there last stop before the last hour to the lake, thank god he was going insane, Jason thought as he pulled into Marty's. "Ok everyone this is last stop before our last hour before we get to the lake. This place has everything so go crazy. Hannah go to the restroom before we leave the store because if not you're going to have to hold it for an hour." Eveyone laughed as they got off and went inside the store. "Wow this place even has a diner." Emily said to Mike as they walked in. They were going crazy, It only took Jason about fifteen minutes to get everything he needed. It amazed him that he still knew where everything was even after all this time. Thanking God as he walked to the checkout because it was some townie he didn't know.
Pulling the door open Jane smiled as the familiar bell chimed as she entered Marty's. She made her way around the store with ease getting everything she need when a tall brunette bumped into her at once they said, "Sorry." They smiled, "I'm Ja.. Mad.. Jane. sorry" funny how she couldn't decide what to call her self. The other girl just smiled, "I'm Spencer. Do you live around here you seem to know your way around?" "Um no but I come here every Summer since, well, forever I guess." Jane smiled. They both went to the checkout.
Jason was waiting at a sitting area when he saw Spencer and a dark hair girl at the checkout. The girls walked to the sitting area and saw it was Madison to catch there atention he said the only thing he could get out, "Hey." Both girls looked at him, it took Jane a second to realize who he was, a big smile on her face as she spoke, "Hey handsome. Long time no see you headed out to the lake?" He was glad she didn't call him Ryan, "Yeah brought some people with me this year. So good to see you, you on your own?" Spencer took the time to interupt, "You know Jane?" Jason looked at her, "Yeah since forever." Returning his eyes to Jane ''Yeah I'm on my own my aunt is waiting for my call." she said. "So you're going by Jane these days. That funny because I only use my first name now two. I'm sure you could squiese in with us if you want?" he said. "Well Jason I don't want to intrude. I am fine calling my aunt thank you." It was wired to call him that, Jason, Jane thought. When they were little she would follow him everywhere and that resulted in their nickname JJ but when he turned 14 he grew out of it and started going by Ryan a year later she was Madison or to him Maddy. Aria spoke up "You more than welcome to Join us Jane we don't mind." Everyone nodded their head. They all introduced them selves to her as they left Marty's. She ended up sitting between Em and Jason in the front seat. She hadn't been this close to him in along time it was wierd but she was sure she had butterflies. He was looking at her through the coner of his eye, thinking wow she seems different but still so beautiful. Starting the engine, "Well here we go, to one hell of a summer." Jane thought to herself "That's for sure, so much for simple." and they drove stright into summer.
