SPOILER ALERT SKIP THE NEXT PARAGRAPH IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE FINALE!

.

That finale guys... THAT FUCKING FINALE OH MY GOD! Ezria... their relationship... it's a lie... IT'S ALL A LIE AND I CAN'T WITH LIFE ANYMORE AND I'M JUST SO, SO UPSET! And they were so CUTE this episode! And all the Ezrians everywhere were given so much hope. "They're gonna get back together... they're gonna get back together... say goodbye Karate Jake because they're gonna get back together..." BUT THAT'S ALL GONE NOW BECAUSE HE'S A! And Alison is alive, and he and Alison DATED, and he was STALKING HER! Man. The minute Hanna said, "Is A a boy?", I absolutely knew it. I was like, "Oh shit. It's Ezra." And then I saw Aria wander away from everyone and I was like, "SHE'S GONNA FIND OUT IT'S EZRA IT'S REALLY EZRA!" And then all that shit with Mrs. Grunwald happened, and then we saw the shadow, with his hands in his pockets, and walking forward all adorably... Guys. When I saw that, I knew it. Know why? ONLY IAN HARDING WALKS LIKE THAT! THERE IS NO ONE ELSE ON THE PLANET WHO WALKS LIKE THAT! And then his face showed. HIS FACE! And he kicked the fucking closet door, and he was so angry, and I got so scared. My heart was beating out of my chest, I was shaking, I was SCREAMING! This has had to be the best finale yet, and I literally cannot wait until the Halloween episode, and I ESPECIALLY cannot wait until season 4B in January!

Also, I'd like to take this time to congratulate Lucy Hale, who is gonna get to go HAM playing Aria next season. I'm so excited. This show is finally returning to the one that I fell in love with :D

Okay, NOW for your reviews:

TotalCowGirl: Thanks! :)
Sarah: Oh yeah, there's no doubt about it. Caleb is most certainly not a fool. He's in Ravenclaw! They don't accept fools. And hmm, well I didn't think of that when I wrote it, but I remember that scene. Season 1 Caleb! So sassy. "What if I gave you 40 extra bucks, would that get you to speed it up?" "Lemme put it this way:
yes." Thank you so much!
Goldenheart11: Sparia is just... I can't with them. They're so, so wonderful, and so easy to write for. Caleb really is the Liars' go-to guy when it comes to these things, and he'd break his back for Hanna. That scene in 4x10 with him broke my heart, when he said, "I'm just not enough to keep you safe anymore." I CRIED, I'm such a baby. But seriously, I'm in love with Caleb, and the day he leaves the show will be the day I roll into a ball and cry the most tears I've cried over this show since Ezria broke up (and since last night... I am still shaking).
Titanium Wolf: Poor Caleb is right! Thanks for the review :)
Ava B: Aria getting stern with Spencer is always hilarious because Spencer is so shocked, like, "I'm the only one who can give orders!" I think if anyone else had ordered Spencer around, she would've backhanded them, but since Aria's her adorable self, she lets it slide. And haha, Spencer's basically like, "Dammit protecting all of these people is TIRING! Caleb, you can take care of yourself." And indeed it is! I love Bruno Mars (did you see his VMAs performance? Unreal), and before I had an account, for guest reviews I just hastily came up with a name, and that was my favorite song by him at the time, so I just typed it in and was like "But it has to have numbers..." so I put in the "555" at the end, and it just ended up sticking! I like it a lot :) so glad you picked up on that!
Ally: Wow, thank you so much! And you saw that on Tumblr? Now you HAVE to tell me where you found it. Put the link in the reviews! But put spaces next to the dots, or FanFiction will remove it. That's so cool!
NorthernSteelGirl: Haha, I guessed that from the Steel: Steelers? Wow, I didn't know that was a Pennsylvania thing! My sister showed me that putting ketchup on eggs is delicious, so I've done it ever since ;D glad I'm considered cool for doing it! Always good to have a bonus.
erica: Thanks! It's about to get even better ;)
PrettyWitchyVamp: No worries, you have an entire STORY'S worth of clever intros to make up for it ;) and team Liars is the ultimate ship (plus it's the ship I'm gonna have to resort to since my two OTPs are now shattered) And I can tell you that eventually Caleb WILL be clued in, no worries :)
Bagilia: That's the spirit! And btw I'm so sorry, I forgot that you were behind when I sent you that PM, but hey, at least I didn't reveal anything, right? Seriously, though, get caught up. It will end you. And haha, Spaleb is indeed a wonderful thing :) and yes, you need to butter up Myrtle! There's the answer. But if anyone was THAT competent we wouldn't have a story now would we? Besides, something tells me Myrtle's not gonna wanna spill anything ;) and hmm, Caleb would be the nerd that the superhero has to bully for answers/technical help, haha. That's our Caleb!
Sgdp1261: Wow, you're so emotionally unstable you forgot to put the capital "S" in your infamous pen name! I'm right there with you, though, because I AM A MESS! And man, Caleb, Spencer, and Mona would make the best team there ever was in terms of taking over the world. The three smartest characters on the show together? I think yes. TEAM SPALONA! And is it bad that an entire finale just happened, and I can't even remember half of what happened because EZRA IS A! And I've been suspicious of him and Aria for a while (I mean, they're my favorite, don't get me wrong, but they wreak sketch), but I never thought my suspicions would prove TRUE! And agreed, the suit jackets confirmed my thoughts :( I can't deal with anything anymore. It's a good thing this story is prewritten, because my mind is JELLO!
WideOpenSpacesGirl045: I can't even talk about the finale anymore, I'm all worn out from the insanity of it all. And no worries, Hanna and Caleb will be reconciling soon ;) if you need a countdown to how many chapters before the adorable Haleb chapter I have in store, check the review, because Bagilia has got you covered. And hmm, I think Albus could make an appearance later! But this story is focused mainly on the PLL characters, with a few HP ones thrown into the mix as well. And James and Caleb, I just threw in them dining together because a reviewer (was it you? I can't remember) got excited about a bromance between them since James lent Caleb the invisibility cloak. Thanks again for the (long) review!

And now, as I proceed to dry myself off after drowning in the river of tears I have produced, I present to you all the next chapter. Enjoy, and REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!


Hanna stared determinedly down at the piece of parchment paper, licking her lips as she dipped her quill in the pint of ink next to the far right corner of the page. "Okay, what else does it say about her?"

Lucas licked his finger before turning the page in his Rolling Stones magazine. "Umm, she sold 89,000 copies of her album She Wolf in 2009."

Hanna bit her lip thoughtfully as she scribbled this down on the paper. "And?"

"Annddd by 2013 she had won 10 grammys; 2 Latin ones and the other 8 were regular ones."

Hanna scribbled this down as well, before looking up at Lucas expectantly. Lucas scanned the rest of the page, before he noticed Hanna staring a hole through him. He sighed and smacked the magazine on the table. "Hanna, you're basically just transposing the exact words from the magazine into your own handwriting."

"So?" Hanna said innocently, cocking her eyebrows upward. "I'm giving him facts!"

"But there's no depth, no analysis!" Lucas argued. "This paper is a month late, Hanna. If you keep up with what you're doing, and then turn it in, he may not accept it!"

"Well if you think you can do so much better, how about you write it!" Hanna challenged, pushing the parchment over to him.

Lucas uneasily slid the paper back to her. "I see what you're trying to do, and I'm not falling for it," he said giddily, speaking to Hanna like she was 5. Hanna rolled her eyes and huffed out a gust of air as she leaned back against the couch.

"Can't we just take a break or something?" she whined. "My brain hurts."

"No," Lucas insisted. "Now c'mon, you're almost done. Let's just get this over with, okay?"

"No, I'm tired!" Hanna snapped. "It's already late, I'll just finish it tomorrow."

"Hanna - "

"Lucas..." she warned, indicating that he not push her. Lucas took note of her irritated tone, and looked up to get a good look at her. She had that annoyed look on her face that she usually had with him, yet he could detect sadness in her crystal blue eyes. Now he was caught; he didn't know if he should try to comfort her, or just mind his own business. But he still cared about Hanna, and he hated seeing her down.

After about two minutes of silence, Lucas awkwardly cleared his throat to get Hanna's attention. "Hanna, what's wrong?"

"What? Nothing," she said passively as she turned away from him. "N-nothing."

The way she stuttered on the last "nothing" confirmed it for him. "No, Hanna, there's something wrong."

Now Hanna's bottom lip was starting to quiver, and she put her elbow on the table as she put her chin in between her thumb and her index finger to try to hide it. Lucas started to panic; had he done something wrong? "Hanna I didn't mean to - "

"No, it's not you," Hanna whimpered, her voice quivering. "It's just... Caleb and I..."

"Did you and Caleb have a fight?" Lucas asked, attempting to be subtle, but the way his eyes were widened and his mouth was grazing the floor was far from subtle. Hanna ignored this as she nodded her head subtly, tears now freely rolling down her face.

"Hanna, I'm... I'm so sorry," Lucas said softly. Hanna just sniffled indignantly as she wiped her cheeks dry.

"It's not your fault," she said. "There was just... a lot that led up to it, and..."

"And what?" Lucas asked gently. "What happened?"

Hanna just sniffled again. "I'd really rather not talk about it, Lucas."

Lucas just rapidly nodded his head. "Yeah," he said understandably. "Yeah, I understand. Umm, we can just pick up where we left off tomorrow. Will that make you feel better?"

"It would," Hanna said appreciatively as she started to roll up her parchment, finding it difficult to do so with her fumbling fingers. Lucas noticed this, and hastily got off his butt and onto his knees as he leaned over the table to help her, putting the quill and rolled up parchment in her hands and then picking up the cup of ink himself.

"Thank you, Lucas," she said finally. "For everything."

"Yeah," he chirped, clearing his throat as he stood up from the ground, his magazines and the ink in his arms. "Yeah, of course!"

Hanna just nodded her head. "Well, I'm gonna go upstairs."

"Don't forget your ink!" he said abruptly, holding it out for her. She laughed weakly as she reached out for it, and Lucas tried his hardest not to faint on the spot from the way her hand brushed up against his.

Suddenly, a wave of energy Lucas didn't even know existed rushed through him, and he leaned forward and kissed Hanna straight on the mouth. Hanna, completely stunned, froze in position, her lips still on his, but then pulled away.

Lucas pulled back, too, and the wave of energy dissipated completely. "I'm so sorry! I didn't - "

"It's okay!" she said abruptly, pushing her wavy blonde hair behind her ear nervously. "Umm... I guess I'll just see you tomorrow..."

"Yeah..." Lucas agreed. With that, Hanna gave him a curt head nod before rushing off toward the girls dormitories. Lucas smacked his hand against his forehead once he was sure she was gone.

You idiot! he thought angrily to himself. Look what you did!

Yet somewhere, deep down, he felt like she might have liked it.


Side Note: Lucas FINALLY made his move! It's about time; the kid has been crushing on Hanna for years now! But man, if Caleb finds out... Lucas's ass is grass. Now, this chapter was a little shorter, so I'll tell you wonderful people what: you've been SO VERY GOOD with reviews, that if you get up to a good number this chapter, I'll post the next chapter up later tonight! So get cracking!
