A/N: I've decided that this is going to be my last chapter(which will consist of two parts; part one and part two.) for this story so I'll try to make it as lengthy and endy as possible. And who knows. If I get enough feedback for this chapter, there will even be a sequel. Anyways, ENJOY!

"Hey Alison, can I ask you something?"

"Sure Spence." She said, sitting down next to me on my bed. "What's up?"

"What do you think would be a special place for Emily and I to have our first date?"

She laughed softly and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. Emily is a pretty special girl so it has to be some place fancy."

"My mom is going to be so pissed though."

Speaking of mom, here she is now calling me. I sighed heavily, "Hold on, I gotta get this." I told Alison and she gave me an understanding nod. I stood up from my bed and walked out of my room, into the living room.

"Hello?" I said, picking up the phone.

"Spencer, hello honey. I just needed to ask you something."

"Yeah?"

I could hear her sigh on the other end of the phone. "How would you feel coming to dinner with my new boyfriend and I-"

"Wait," I smiled. "Boyfriend?"

"Oh god, don't start."

"What's his name?" I laughed. "Where does he work?"

"His name is Zach and he owns that store in Rosewood, you know, the one that sells the good coffee."

I smiled. "The Brew?"

"Yeah that," She laughed. "But anyway, do you want to come? He says he would love to meet you."

"Of course I'm coming mother," I said. "When?"

"Next Saturday."

"Where?"

"I don't know yet. I hope you don't have to work."

My heart dropped. "Oh.. uh about that..." I shut my eyes tightly. "I don't have a job anymore."

The end of the line was silent until my mother finally said, "I'm sorry, I must not have heard you correctly. Repeat please." Her voice was more stern and angry.

"I lost my job.."

"You what?!" She yelled, her voice almost bursting my eardrums. "How?!"

"I'm sorry okay, but I can't tell you." I sighed. "I know how much me keeping this job meant to you and I'm really sorry. Something more important than that came up and if you would-"

"What's more important than your job, Spencer?"

"Her.." I spoke, my voice breaking as tears slid down my cheeks. "Her.." I repeated.

The connection clicked off. My mother hung up on me. Footsteps echoed throughout the room and Alison came into view. Her face fell as she ran over to hug me. I sobbed into the crook of her neck and hugged her back tightly. "She hung up on me..."

"Who, Spencer?" Her hands swayed back and forth on my back in a comforting manner.

"My mother.." I sniffed. "I told her that I lost my job and she flipped out... I know how much my job meant to her and I.. I ruined it."

"Hey no," Alison whispered. "No you didn't. You could always find another job just as better and if any other law firm doesn't want you, they're fucking idiots. Come on, you're Spencer freaking Hastings. The best lawyer there is and the best there ever will be, well, aside from your father." I shot her glare as she smiled at me. "Just kidding. You're amazing, okay?"

I shrugged lightly. "I guess."

There was a firm knock on my door and I groaned. I knew exactly who it was. "Don't you have a key?" I yelled. Moments later, my mother stormed through the door.

"Spencer Jillian-"

"Don't." Alison interrupted. "Don't even think about yelling at her. Just because she lost one freaking job, doesn't mean that she'll lose another." Alison spat. "She's an adult and everyone makes mistakes. Even you, so don't even think about criticizing her."

A scowl crept onto my mother's face, "And who the hell are you?"

"I'm Alison DiLaurentis." Alison smirked. "Spencer's friend and former fling, so I might add."

I chuckled a little, surprised at Alison's statement, "Spencer is a damn good lawyer and-"

"Don't you think I know that?" Mom interrupted, "That's why I'm so angry she lost her job. My daughter is the best lawyer in the state of Pennsylvania. Hell possibly, in the world." She spoke, her voice soft. "And I love her so very much."

I used the back of my hand to wipe my tears away. "I'm sorry, Mom." I whispered.

"You start Monday." She stated.

"Huh?" My eyebrows furrowed. "What do you mean?"

"Your new job," She smiled. "You start Monday."

"No way," I ran into my mom and pulled her into a tight hug. "How did you-?"

"When I was done yelling at you, I was going to tell you about your new job. I hung up on you because the owner of the Kahn Law Firm walked into my place. He wanted to know if you were satisfied with the job you were at now and I got you a deal."

My mom is the best. "I thought you hated me."

"Yeah," Alison added. "I thought you were going to destroy her." She smiled weakly and joined our hug. "I'm sorry Mrs. Hastings. Please don't take me to court."

Mom and I laughed. "It's Ms. Hastings," She started. "But don't worry, you're fine. Don't ever do that again though because I can destroy you."

"Yes ma'am." Alison laughed.

Meanwhile.

"Alison just texted," Hanna spoke as she stepped into her car. I followed. "She wants me to come pick her and Spence up." She smiled. "Apparently, Spencer's mom came over and got Spencer another job."

"I hope Melissa isn't there," I muttered. "She hates me."

Hanna started the engine and a laugh escaped her mouth. "She has a crush on me. In fact, I think she gave me her number that night."

"Ew." I laughed. "Why would she have a crush on you?"

"Hurtful Em," She shook her head. "Hurtful."

"You know I love you, Han. We are best friends always and forever."

"Even when we're old and gray?"

"Even when we're old and gray." I smiled. "So you never told me how things went with that Alex guy.."

"Oh," Hanna let out a nervous giggle. "He's an alright guy. I like him, but not like that. I tried to picture us together in the future but it didn't work."

"So you guys decided on being friends?"

"No, I decided on being friends. He doesn't know it yet."

"Oh wow," I said nonchalantly. "Nice move, Han."

"Well sorry if I never had a chance to talk to him because I was too busy hanging out with my friends. Sisters before misters, remember?"

"I guess."

"What would the saying be for lesbians?" Hanna laughed.

"I have no idea."

"You're cute," Hanna stated, pulling out of the driveway.

"I know."

It took us about ten minutes to make it to Spencer's. Hanna kept talking about how Melissa is so obsessed with her and let me tell you, it was torture.

Hanna walked to Spencer's door and opened it without even knocking. "The people who matter have arrived."

"And who exactly are you?" An unfamiliar voice spoke. We turned our heads to see Spencer, Alison, and a woman that looked as if she was in her mid 40s. She had brunette hair like Spencer's and it stopped at her shoulders. "As far as I'm concerned the only people who matter in this world is me." The woman laughed.

"Oh.." Hanna spoke. "I'm sorry, um. I'm Hanna Marin."

"Has anyone taught you to knock, Hanna?" She asked, her voice stern.

"I'm sorry, ma'am." I started. "She's an idiot."

I glanced over at Spencer and Alison to see them giggling uncontrollably. "Guys," Spencer spoke. "This is my mom. Veronica Hastings."

"Damn Spence, is your whole family lawyers?" Hanna asked, eyeing Mrs. Hastings with a fascinated look.

"Maybe," Veronica teased. "And aren't you the girl Melissa kept talking about? The fashion designer?"

"That would be me," Veronica nodded obviously impressed.

"Well, I save lives." Alison added. "I'm a surgeon."

"And I'm a swimmer." I smiled. "Maybe you've heard of me, Emily Fields."

Spencer's mom stared blankly at me. "I haven't."

"It was a joke," I laughed. "But I am going to the Olympic Games."

"Really?" Mrs. Hastings nodded, fairly impressed. "Looks like you have a future Olympic Gold Medalist here, Spencer."

"Looks like I do." Spencer smiled and grabbed my hand, intertwining our fingers together. "And I'm hoping she's my future girlfriend too."

"So she's the one you lost your job for?"

"Sorry to interrupt, but we really have to go." Hanna smiled innocently. "I told them that I was taking all of us to dinner."

"Oh.." Veronica sighed. "Well I guess I'll stay here then."

"Why?" Spencer laughed.

"Because I enjoy those girls' company."

"I knew it." Alison smirked playfully. "We love you too Ms. Hastings."

"Call me Veronica."

"Blah," Hanna added. "No thank you. I prefer Ms. Hastings."

"You're a smartass, you know?" Spencer's mother said and Hanna shrugged. "I love her already."

"Don't we all?" I chuckled.

45 minutes later.

We had finally escaped my mother and had made it to dinner. "Thank you for saving me back there, Han."

She stabbed a chunk of lettuce and put it into her mouth. She chewed it and swallowed, then said, "No problem. Anymore questions and Emily would have been busted."

"Since when did you start eating salad?" Emily asked. "You hated when Aria ate it."

I groaned. "Please don't say her name."

"Just the mention of her name could cause a media frenzy." Alison laughed.

"Did you just quote Iggy Azalea?" Hanna laughed. "Really?"

Alison shrugged. "I like her. She's pretty good."

"Nah," Emily smiled. "I hate rap music."

"It's not rap. It's hip hop, my dear Emily."

"But Iggy is a rapper, isn't she?" I added, defending Emily's words. Alison sent me a playful glare.

"Don't defend your girlfriend." Hanna teased. "But technically, she's both so you're both correct."

I laughed and gave Alison a high five. "Oh my gosh, we're acting like teenagers."

"I love you guys." Emily smiled. "Even though Alison almost ruined our lives when we were little."

We all eyed Alison and she threw her hands up in defeat. "Hey," She giggled. "That was a long time ago. Instead of ruining peoples' lives, I save them now."

Hanna scoffed. "I wonder."

"You wonder what, Han?" Alison asked, her voice playful and carefree. "I don't really care what you say about me. I know I'm not that girl anymore."

"I wonder if I have ever loved you as much as I do now." Hanna saved which elicited a flame of laughter out of all us.

"Nice save," Emily smiled.

I looked over at the entrance to the restaurant and my smile quickly vanished, "Uh oh.." Alison muttered, making all the girls turn their heads at the entrance at well. "The brother from hell."

"With his trusty sidekick," Hanna added. "And their little mastermind puppet."

A groan escaped Emily's lips and she stood up, her posture stiff and uneasy. "I need to go to the bathroom."

"Me too," Alison spoke.

"Don't forget about me," Hanna hopped out of her seat and ran to the bathroom with Emily and Alison following quickly behind.

Now, it's just me.. with the enemies: Aria; Jason; and Sarah. The smirk Jason and Sarah had on their faces was just.. not a good sign. But I wouldn't let them phase me.. on the outside at least.
