PLEASE enjoy, favorite, follow and REVIEW!

Emily was absolutely terrified when she woke up the next morning. She was so nervous about her date with Alison. She felt like she needed someone to calm her down, but she didn't know who to call. When she woke up, she immediately went to check to see if the water was working. Lucky for her, it was.

Sighing, she turned on the shower and stripped from her pajamas. She was actually relieved that it was working again, because she wasn't sure if she could go over to Alison's before their date later.

AAA

"So, Spencer told us that you're going on a date tonight?" Aria asked, grinning at Ali as she and Hanna entered her apartment.

"She did what?" Alison snapped. "I specifically told her not to mention it!"

"Who's the lucky guy?" Hanna asked with a sly smile. Alison froze for a moment, before she realized that Spencer had sort of kept her promise. She'd mentioned the date, but nothing about Emily.

"It doesn't matter," she insisted suddenly.

"Well, I hope you're not going out with him wearing sweats," Aria commented, going into Ali's room and to her dresser.

"I'm not, Aria, and I can pick out my own clothes, thank you very much," Alison snapped, following the dark haired girl into her room, Hanna on her heels.

"You used to pick out clothes for all of us all the time," Hanna pointed out.

"Yeah, because my sense of style was better than yours. And just because now you all actually have decent styles, mine is still just as good if not better. Therefore, I think I'll be perfectly fine picking out my own clothes," Ali insisted, grabbing the top that Aria had been holding out of her hands.

"Are you going to wear a dress? Is it like a fancy date?" Hanna asked.

"I don't know what I'm going to wear yet," Alison snapped, "but I'll be fine."

"You seem on edge," Aria said slowly.

"God, why does everyone keep telling me that?" Ali groaned, sitting on her bed. "I'm fine, alright?"

"Alright," Aria replied, clearly not convinced. They were all silent for a moment.

"Well, what's he wearing?" Hanna asked.

Alison froze again, blinking. What was Emily wearing? Even if she knew the answer, she couldn't tell that to Hanna, who thought she was going out with a boy. "I-I don't know."

"Did you just stutter?" Hanna asked, raising an eyebrow. Alison huffed and stood up.

"You guys can go, I think I'll manage to get ready by myself," Alison insisted. Aria frowned.

"C'mon Ali, we're just curious about the guy. And why Spencer knows, but not us?" she asked.

"Because it's confusing and it's complicated and it's nothing that you girls need to be worrying about. Don't you guys have work anyway?" Alison asked, hoping the two of them would leave soon.

"Hanna's on break, and there was some of kind teacher work day that I didn't have to attend at the school," Aria replied.

"Just tell us, Ali. We're your best friends, aren't we?" Hanna asked. "I mean I know we used to keep stuff from each other all the time in high school. You used to lie a lot, but that always kept us from being true best friends. I thought when we graduated high school that all of that deceit was finally over and we could be close again, like when we were all little."

Alison rolled her eyes. "Look, I'll tell you guys who it is if it actually turns into something. Okay?"

Suddenly, Alison's phone buzzed. Immediately, alarms went off in her head. She turned and reached for her phone, but Aria already had it in her hand. "It's from Emily. She's asking... what's she supposed to wear..."

Aria and Hanna both gave Alison pointed looks. "What?" Ali demanded, snatching her phone from her friend's hands and quickly texting Emily back.

To Emily- Something pretty.

"Are you going out with Emily?" Hanna asked, a smile forming on her face. Ali rolled her eyes.

"So what if I am?"

"Nothing," Hanna answered. "Just didn't know that you were into that."

"Hanna, stop talking," Alison snapped harshly. "Stop making this into some big deal. I'm going on a date with a girl. It's not some big life event that you should mark on your Facebook Timeline."

"I didn't know Emily was gay," Aria commented thoughtfully.

"Yeah, well she is," Ali answered, finally getting off of her bed and moving to her vanity. She sat down in the chair across from her mirror and began to do her makeup.

"Did you guys hang out after you helped her unpack on Monday?" Aria questioned, sounding merely curious.

"She was applying to jobs and she stopped at the Grille for lunch," Ali answered vaguely.

"So, did you ask her on the date? Is that why she was asking about what to wear?" Hanna asked.

"Yes, Hanna," Ali answered, seriously getting tired of answering everyone's questions.

"Oh my gosh! One of us has to go over there and dress her up!" Hanna exclaimed.

"You go," Aria said. Hanna grinned and turned. Oh geez, I hope she doesn't scare her away.

EEE

Emily had been going through her dresser since she got out of the shower earlier, and she could not find one article of clothing that she deemed appropriate to wear on a date with Alison. Ali was so gorgeous, and she was scared that she would look very unimpressive compared to her.

A few minutes after she'd gotten a reply from Alison about what to wear, there was a crazy knocking at her door. "Um, who is it?" she called.

"Hanna!" came a crazed voice that she recognized as Hanna's.

"Um... come in?" Emily said after a moment of hesitation. She barely knew this girl.

The blonde came barging in with a crazy grin on her face, and hurried into Emily's bedroom. The brunette was glad that she'd at least put a robe on after she took a shower. Hanna immediately noticed the clothes that were hanging out of the drawers of Emily's dresser. "Can't find anything to wear for you date?" Hanna asked knowingly.

"Uh..." Emily gave Hanna an odd expression. "No, I can't."

Hanna grinned and pushed past Emily to all of the clothes. "Don't you worry, Em. I'll have the perfect outfit ready in no time."

"Okay... thanks?"

"Don't thank me yet!" Hanna exclaimed. Emily laughed lightly and sat down on her bed. She liked Ali's friends, they all seemed pretty close. Maybe one day, she could be a part of their group. She already felt like she was getting absorbed into it. "So, are you excited for the date?"

"Yeah," Emily answered, her cheeks turning a little rosy as she thought about her coming date with Alison. "I mean, I don't know what we're doing, but I'm sure it'll be great."

"She's really likeable, huh?" Hanna asked, her voice cautious all of the sudden.

"Alison? Yeah, she is," Emily answered, wondering where Hanna was going with that.

The blonde looked over her shoulder at Emily. "Ali is one of my best friends, but I have to warn you. You have to be careful if you really like her. I think she really likes you, but she doesn't like feeling vulnerable. She doesn't like feeling like someone has power over her, and that's one of the problems she's always had in dating people. You seem like a really nice girl, Emily. I don't want you to get hurt."

Emily let all of that sink in. Although she felt like the warning should scare her, she wasn't scared. Maybe she'd be a little more cautious, but honestly, she was already a cautious person anyway. Emily liked Alison. She was one of the few people that could draw a smile out of her with ease, or make tons of butterflies swarm in her stomach. And that was while she'd known her for not even three days. "Thanks for the warning," is all Emily said.

Hanna pursed her lips and nodded, before turning back to the dresser. "Ah! Here!" the blond exclaimed, pulling out a blue dress. It was a tight dress that stopped above her knees, and the sleeves only went about an inch over her shoulder. It was a V-Neck, too. Emily remembered getting it for a party that one of her college friends had forced her to go to. She hadn't worn it since then, honestly. She wasn't one for dresses, even though her mom had always loved her to wear them.

"Are you sure it has to be a dress?" Emily asked carefully.

"What did Ali tell you to wear?" Hanna asked.

"Something pretty," Emily answered, remembering what Alison had texted her.

"And trust me, this dress is something pretty. Plus, it still lets her see a lot of you, and you're already gorgeous," Hanna admitted. "Put it on."

"Why? I still have like six hours before the date," Emily reminded her. Hanna just shook her head.

"You still have to do your hair and makeup after you get dressed, don't you?" Hanna asked her pointedly. Emily sighed and nodded. Proud of herself, the blonde tossed the dress over to the brunette. Emily dismissed herself to the bathroom and changed into the dress. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she had to admit that she did look pretty hot. "Are you decent?"

"Yeah," Emily called, allowing Hanna to barge into the bathroom.

"Can I do your hair and makeup? Please?" Hanna asked with a grin. It didn't take long for Emily to give in an agree.

"What do you do for a living Hanna?" Emily asked curiously. She would bet on a lot of money that it had something to do with fashion.

"Right now, I work at a clothing store. But I'm trying to get higher up in the fashion industry. I'm great with clothes and outfits, if you couldn't already tell," Hanna explained in a cocky tone. Emily just chuckled.

"Yeah, I see that," she answered. "Thanks, by the way."

"No problem," Hanna replied with a laugh. "So, Ali mentioned that you were looking for a place to work. Did you find something?"

"Yeah she, uh, pointed me to a pastry and coffee shop across from the Grille. They had an opening, so I took it. I start tomorrow," Emily answered. She was actually really glad to get that job. She honestly liked that it was right across the street from the Grille, so on her lunch break she could go see Ali, or something. Really, she just liked the close proximity that she would have with Alison. Maybe it was a little weird, but she couldn't help that she liked the girl.

"That place makes good cupcakes," Hanna commented.

They made light chit chat about Rosewood and how Emily moved and came back while Hanna did her hair and makeup. Emily just kept reminding Hanna not to overdo it, because she didn't want to look much more fancy on a first date than she usually did. She didn't want to give anyone too high of expectations of herself. Hanna insisted that the hair and makeup, although taking a while, still looked natural.

Over an hour later, Hanna finally allowed Emily to look in the mirror, and she had to admit that she looked stunning. The makeup hardly made her look any different, and yet she looked entirely different. She would never understand how that worked. Her dark hair fell in a gorgeous frame around her face, before turning into light curls that gathered below her shoulders.

"Wow," Emily said, actually stunned. "Thank you, this is... wow."

"It is pretty impressive," Hanna admitted, tooting her own horn. Emily laughed and rolled her eyes at Hanna's playful tone.

"Thanks again. I probably would've driven myself crazy trying to find something to wear and a way to do my hair," Emily said with a light laugh.

"Don't worry about it," Hanna insisted, smiling.

"But... I still have like four and a half hours until the date," Emily remembered.

Hanna shrugged. "Watch TV or something." The blonde's phone suddenly started buzzing. She checked it quickly and then gave Emily a smile. "Hey, thanks for letting me dress you up for the date. It was a lot of fun, and it was cool getting to know you. You should join Ali, Aria, Spencer and me sometime when we're hanging out."

"Just say the word," Emily agreed with a smile, "as long as I'm not working, I'll probably be available."

"Great! So, have fun on your date, and I'll see you later!" Hanna said, smiling and giving a small wave before leaving the apartment. Emily sighed. She was all ready to go now, and she still had to wait four more hours. Sighing, she decided that she might as well catch up on some of the TV shows that she'd had to stop watching during her move.

So she sat herself down in front of her TV, her phone clutched in her hand, and willed the hands on the clock to somehow turn faster.

I know it might seem like I'm drawing this out a bit, but I like the pace that this story is going at, so I hope you all do, too. I know in some chapters there's a less Emison, but don't worry, there will be plenty of them :)

Like it? Love it? Hate it? Let me know in a quick review :) Or, if that's not your thing, you can PM me your thoughts:) Alsoooo please follow me on Twitter at BrittzandTana ! I love talking to you all, really! Also, if you tweet me that you read this, I'll follow you back :)

Just for future reference, it hasn't come up yet, which is good, but while I was writing chapters 1-9 (I just finished 10), I was confusing the Grille with the Brew in my mind... Ali does work at the Grille, but I literally forgot that the Brew existed and I kind of mixed the two in my mind. So, I changed everything that comes up where they are kind of mixed together, but I would also just like to add that the place where Emily works ISN'T the Brew.

Yeah so now that I've gotten that off of my chest :P

Ew I have school tomorrow. I hope it doesn't affect my updating speed on this... I might end up updating every other day, instead of every day... stupid school.

Goodnight my loves! Please review :)
