[A/N: Can you guys see the picture at the top or No?]


"Okay, so your sister's pregnant?"
A shocked Hanna asked Spencer, as all the girls gathered in Emily's room, "How'd that happen?"

"Oh honey" Sabrina says with a pout as she pinched the Marin girl's cheeks."Do we need to have the sex talk"

"I figure pretty much the usual way" Spencer replied as Hanna smacks the Diaz girls hand away.

"And it's not really a how question, it's more of a why question" Emily said.

"Well, I mean, I guess Melissa could have gone all maternal but I doubt it" Spencer said.

"Ah! This is so creepy" Hanna complained.

"Where are they now?" Emily asked curiously.

"Philadelphia, shopping" Spencer replied.

"What do you think this means?"
Hanna asked.

"Don't know yet" Sabrina replied, as Spencer researched what the note Toby gave Spencer meant "But I'm guessing whatever it is, it's important otherwise why would Toby want us to have it?"

"There" Spencer said, as she on a
website, "It's in Braille, so-"

Spencer immediately went to work on trying to figure out what was written on the note.

"You want to see this, Aria?' Emily asked, seeing the Montgomery girl trying to see what was happening.

"No" Aria replied quickly, "I can see just fine from here"

Sabrina rolled her eyes at her cousin apparently A forced Hanna to give Ella a ticket to the museum that Aria and Ezra went to and now Aria is upset at when it's not even her fault.

"The first letter's a B" Spencer informed Spencer continued, looking at the second letter
"A, it's an A"

"I think it's gonna tell us who A is?" Hanna said and Sabrina looked at the words Spencer had written down on her notebook,

"B-A-D" Sabrina reads blankly as she blinks.

"Bad" Hanna realised.

"That's the whole message?" A confused Spencer asked, "Bad?"
"What's it supposed to mean?"
Emily asked.

"It means you got punked" Aria replied, "Toby doesn't trust us, I don't blame him"

"No, I don't think he'd mess with us like this" Emily disagreed.

"You'd be surprised what people are capable of" Aria bitterly replied staring at Hanna.

"Aria enough" Sabrina snapped getting fed up with how Aria was acting.

"You guys, we have to figure this out" Spencer said, interrupting the sisters, "This might be a joke, but it could be something real".

"Well, look, either way, Toby's not the enemy" Hanna said.

Aria suddenly stood up, "You know what, guys? I'm gonna go" she informed.

"I'm gonna go to, I have got to get Eve to bed" Sabrina says also standing "love you"

"Love you too" The girl's reply before each kissing Everly's head before handing her to her mother.

"Are you sure you don't want me to come a get her cause I will" Sabrina said as she heads towards the cafeteria as she talks to jane about the fever Everly spiked.

"Yes, Bri I'm sure if it get worse I'll call okay but for now finish school have a good day" Jane replied before hanging up on the girl.

"What is with you and the Artful Dodger?" Spencer asked Hanna, as Sabrina join the four.

"Who?' Hanna asked confused.

"Caleb" Emily clarified.

"I thought that thing at the swim meet was a one off" Spencer said.

"It was" Hanna defended.

"We just saw you talking to him"
Emily said.

"And you gave him something that looked like a wet oven mitt"
Spencer added.

"It was his hat" Hanna clarified.

"What are you doing with his hat?"
Emily asked confused.

"Why shouldn't I have his hat?"
Hanna retorted.

"Hanna, maybe you're looking for
something a little edgier after Sean" Spencer said, "But this guy is dark".

"Spencer, he's not that dark"
Hanna argued.

"He's dark enough" Spencer argued back.

"Well, he's not Arthur Dodger, whoever that is" Hanna assured.

"Caleb isn't that bad, he's just had tough" Aria replied smiling at Hanna  both seemingly apologized to each other.

"Still, you need to be really careful about that guy" Emily warned Hanna.

"Well, it seems to me we had this conversation once about Toby" Hanna reminded shutting both spencer and Emlly rignt up.

Suddenly the girls attention was at the teacher's table where an angry parent had just approached, "I'm looking for Coach Fulton".

"Is the coach expecting you?" Ezra asked.

"The coach is avoiding me, that's what the coach is doing"

"Are you a parent?" Ezra asked, standing up from his seat.

"Yes, I'm a parent, Nick McCullers" Nick introduced, "My daughter is
Paige McCullers"

Sabrina tied her hair up, slipped her earrings off and silently slips her shoes off knowing exactly where this was going and she wasn't about to stand for it.

"I have your daughter in English comp" Ezra informed, as Emily glanced over to an embarrassed and scared Paige who watched Sabrina actions, "I'm Ezra Fitz".

"The coach" Nick demanded,
slowly losing his patience.

"I'll tell you what, why don't we walk down to the principal's office, and see if we can find Coach Fulton?" Ezra suggested.

"I've seen the principal, and all I got was a lot of politically correct double-talk about the agenda in this place that's penalizing my daughter" Nick snapped, "Taking opportunities away from her, and giving them to someone who doesn't deserve them!"

"Everybody gets a fair chance here, Mr. McCullers" Ezra assured, trying to calm Nick down, but failing, "We go out of our way to make sure that that's how it works"

"My girl is the best swimmer on that team and you can't give it to someone just because" Nick said causing Sabrina slams her hands on the table standing up and starts to run over to hit the men.

"No,No Sabrina don't" Emily yelled out trying to grab the girl.

"SOMEONE GRAB SABRINA" A voice yelled out as Sabrina was about to reach them but couldn't cause a group of people to rushing to grab the girl.

"LET GO OF ME" Sabrina yelled out causing Ella to stand to see her niece being held back "Damn it let me go I'm not playing around LET ME HIT HIM"

"You're in a cafeteria, Mr. McCullers" Ezra replied as Sabrina was picked up still yelling as Ella made her way towards her niece, "Filled with kids trying to have lunch, and very upset best friend who will probably continue to try and hit you I don't think that's the audience you want, is it?".

After hesitating for a moment looking at the group who is struggling to carry a very pissed Sabrina out of the cafeteria confused why it's take a whole group to carry a tiny person. Until she breaks free and more students grab the girl.

In fear, Nick followed Ezra out of the cafeteria and towards the principal office.

"Breath Sabrina remember to breathing exercises we worked on" Ella says as Sabrina's hands shake "in count to eight let go"

Sabrina copy's Ella movements as the girls enter with Sabrina's stuff.

"Is she okay?" Emily asked worried knowing how Sabrina anger gets her.

"Yes she all good now, right?" Ella asked rubbing her niece shoulders. "I gotta get to my class take a minute with her before going to class"

"We brought you stuff for the cafeteria" Aria says handing her cousin her shoes and back pack.

"Thanks" Sabrina replied grabbing her shoes slipping them on.

"Why would you do that?" Emily finally asked.

"Because he was going to make a homophonic comment about you than you'd be upset and I don't like when any of you are upset"
Sabrina replied standing up looking straight at Emily "I love you 'Em your my best friend I'm gonna protect you if you like it or not"

Sabrina exits the bathroom and walks towards her locker and opens it get her journal not noticing the pictures of Everly missing or the black hooded person walking away.

CRUEL
SUMMER

The next day, the five friends met up and decided to go shopping together.

"When are you supposed to see Toby?" Emily asked Spencer.

"Tomorrow, while Jenna's at her music lesson" Spencer replied.

Hanna and Aria were going through a rack of jackets and both ended up pulling out the same jacket, "Take it" Hanna said, shoving the jacket in Aria's direction.

"No" Aria protested, "No, you take
it"

"One of you just take it" Sabrina says tired.

Emily looked at Sabrina in sadly,
Softly grabbing the girls hand knowing that when she has a episode she's quiet and exhausted before turned to Hanna and Aria, "What was going on with you two?" she asked, being the only one who was out of the loop.

Aria and Hanna exchanged a look, and then Aria turned to Emily.

"Okay, so, you know how I went to that museum with Ezra?" Aria reminded, Emily nodded in response, "Well, A tried to get Hanna to ruin it"

"How?" Emily asked confused.

"A gave me another ticket, and made me give it to Aria's mom"
Hanna informed.

"God, Hanna, why didn't you tell us what was happening?" Emily asked.

"Well, I tried to stop it" Hanna defended, "I mean, her mom's car didn't just stall, Caleb fixed it to keep from getting there and that's why I owe him".

"Oh and, Caleb is the one who has been breaking into our school vending machines at night time" Aria said.

"He practically lives there"Sabrina admits looking at some cute clothes for Everly

"He lives in school?" Emily asked shocked.

"Well, they found his stuff, so he's not sleeping there anymore" Hanna clarified, "He's sleeping in my basement".

"Wait, rewind that a little for me" Aria said, as the all the girls looked at Hanna in confusion, not knowing if they heard her right or not.

"Does your mom know?" Emily asked curiously.

"No" Hanna replied, "But I mean, it's just for a couple of nights, so".

"Couple of nights?" Spencer asked, "Are you crazy?".

"Uh, guys" Emily said, her eyes suddenly landing on someone,

The girls looked in the direction Emily was looking in and all of them were both shocked and confused seeing Jenna here, trying on some lingerie. The five girls slowly walked closer to her, making sure she didn't realise their presence.
She
"I want it to be perfect" the girls heard Jenna say, "He likes lace"

"No problem Vivian" Noel replied before standing "let me know when you need more"

"One day sweetheart we will meet I promise" the woman whispers.
