     𝐒𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐒 on her back still in her bed, the covers pulled up to her chin as she stares up at the glow-in-the-dark star stickers on the room.

"Sadie!" Will walks into the room, maroon scrubs on as he stands with his hands on his hips, "What are you doing? Get up and get to school!"

"But why?" She whines, moving to pull the covers over her face, "I'm emancipated and married! Why do I need school?!"

"Uh, maybe because you need a high school diploma to get into a good college so that you can get a good job and feed your high demand lifestyle!" Will rips the covers off of her head, "Sadie James! Get up!"

"Okay! Okay, I'm getting up!"

"Don't make me come back up here!"

"I seriously hate you!"

"I love you, too!"

          ❝ 𝐎𝐊𝐀𝐘, 𝐈 need to ask you guys something and I need you to be totally honest with me. ❞ Hanna stands in front of her locker, looking her reflection over in the mirror hanging on the inside of the door.

"Of course."

"Sure."

"I don't think you want my honesty."

"Is this side of my face fatter than this side?" She asked, turning her head left and right to showcase her face to the four girls.

All four girls slowly look the younger blonde over before simultaneously giving her the same answer, "No."

Aria lets out a sigh as she catches a figure off to the distance, "Is that Ian?"

"Yeah, I hear he's the new field hockey coach." Emily says as Saide crosses her arms over her chest, looking Ian over with a distasteful look on her face. "Does Melissa know he's back?"

"I don't know why she ever broke up with him." Hanna commented as she looked over at the older boy. "Did you used to party with him, too?" She asked the taller blonde.

"Hmm? To an extent." Sadie tells her, "I couldn't stand him back then, and I can't stand him now."

"She didn't." Spencer spoke up, "He broke up with her."

"Hey, the first ones for my bestie." Mona walks up to the girls, handing out black and white invitations with little yellow bow son them, "And one for each of you, my bestie's other friends."

"Oh, uh, what's this?" Aria asked as Sadie takes hers without even looking at the front of it.

"Oh, nothing." Mona smiles, "Only an invitation to the most awesome birthday party ever. Camp Mona."

"Camp Mona?"

"Don't let the camping part scare you. It's 'glamping', not camping." Mona says as she keeps a cherry tone in her voice, "M is for Mona and massages, not mosquitoes. Oh, Naomi! Riley. Hey, wait up."

"Why is Mona inviting us to her birthday party?" Spencer asked with a chuckle just as the bell rings.

"Well, she knows that we're friend again and she's just trying to reach out to you." Hanna tells them, "She's trying to be nice. So, are you gonna go?"

"No." Sadie's voice is blunt as she's the first one to decline the invitation, earning an elbow to the side from Spencer, "What? I haven't been to Mona's birthday part since the third grade, and I'm not about to start now. Especially not after the way she was treating Lucas who's done absolutely nothing to her. She's only being mean to him because Alison was."

Spencer sighs, sending Sadie a look as she turns back to Hanna, "I know she's your friend, but . . ., "

"Yeah, but I──I'm gonna have to pass. I've got this──,"

"I got a lot of stuff to do this weekend." Spencer joins in on trying to make an excuse to not go to the birthday party that Mona was throwing for herself.

"Me too."

Sadie shrugged as Hanna sends her a pleading look, "I just don't want to go." She goes to turn on her feet to get to class before pausing as all of their cellphones dinged. "Oh, great."

"Camp Mona's a scavenger hunt and I'm the prize." Spencer reads from her phone screen.

"Come and fine me, Bitches." Hanna reads next.

"A."  Sadie, Aria and Emily finish off, Sadie's voice more monotone than the others as they all look around for any sign of someone watching them.

          ❝ 𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐒 for this weekend? ❞ Will questions his little sister as he poured coffee into his coffee up, sliding one over to Cassie who had been staying the night the last couple of weeks.

"Unfortunately, I have to attended 'Camp Mona' where we will not be camping but glamping." Sadie sends a tight smile to her brother as she harshly stabs her fork into the stack of pancakes on her plate.

Will raised an eyebrow, "You're willingly going to a birthday party . . . that Mona is throwing?"

"Hanna's forcing all of us to go." Sadie tells a slight lie to her brother as she stabs her fork into another bite of pancakes, "Something about wanting her old besties to be friends with her new besties. Do I think it's a good idea? Hell now. Like I said, I didn't like Mona back then, and I don't like her now."

"Um, so, what's the story behind your dislike towards this Mona girl?" Cassie asked, clearing her throat as she looks between her boyfriend and his little sister.

"It's a long story."

"I hate it when the two of you speak at the same time."

────୨ৎ────

          ❝ 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 they have found? ❞ Hanna questioned just as Sadie and Aria walked up to her, Emily and Spencer at the same time.

"I don't know."

"Hey, what's going on?" Aria is the first one to questions as the two girls come to a stop in front of their friends.

"The cops are here." Hanna tells them.

"I heard they found something of Alison's." Spencer says.

"Spencer Hastings, Aria Montgomery, Emily Fileds, Sadie Beaumont, Hanna Marin." The voice of the PA announces along with Hanna saying her own name along with him, "Please come to the office."

"Honestly, what's the point of even getting out of the bed in the mornings?"

────୨ৎ────

           𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐕𝐄 sit on the small leather couch in the principal's office, cramped together as the sit in silence just as a woman and man come into the office.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." The woman in the purple shirt greets the teens, "I'm Agent Cooper."

Spencer takes the card being handed to her, "FBI?"

"Miss. Beaumont, we are aware that you are both a minor but emancipated as well. We got ahold of your brother over in Chicago in the Intelligence Unit and he has been made aware, and given us permission, to speak with you."

Just as the words leave Agent Coopers lips, Sadie's phone buzzed, causing her to pull it out to check the text message that had just been sent to her.

❛ ɢᴜᴇꜱꜱ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴀɴ'ᴛ ɢᴇᴛ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜɪꜱ
ᴏɴᴇ, ᴄᴀɴ ʏᴏᴜ, ꜱᴀᴅᴇꜱ? ❜ — ᴀ

"This is my partner, Agent Randall, and we're here because the bureau was asked by the local authorities to assist in the investigation of Alison DiLaurentis' murder." Agent Cooper sits on the corner of the desk, "I wanna show you something that was sent to the Rosewood Police Department by an anonymous source."

The girls look at each other.

"The family's given me permission to show it to the five of you."

Sadie's eyes go to the TV where Alison is sitting on a rock dressed in the same clothes that she was wearing when she went missing, only a green jacket was placed over her.

Alison smiles wickedly at the camera that was filming her, seductively taking the green jacket from her body, but covering herself back up with is as her shoulders were the only skin showing,

"Wanna see more? I know you want to. If the girls knew I was seeing you, oh my, God, they would not stop talking about it. I wish they were more mature, but . . . well, Sadie would be, but . . . we don't have a lot of time. I have to get back before they wake up."  Alison smirks to whoever is behind the camera, "I know you wanna kiss me."

"Is there, uh, anything you can tell me about what you see?" Agent Cooper asked the girls.

"They're at the kissing rock." Emily is the first to speak up.

"It's in the woods behind the lake." Sadie tells the FBI agent, knowing exactly where it was from the number of times that she and Jason would go there just to get away from the world for a bit.

"I ── I think this was taken the night Alison disappeared." Aria is the next one to speak between the five teenagers. "She was wearing that yellow top."

"But that's not her sweater."

"Are you sure?" Agent Cooper looks over at Hanna.

"Ask me what's in each one of our closets, and I'll give you an itemized list." Hanna tells her. "I know clothes."

Spencer pushes some of her hair out of her face, "I think she's talking to the older boy."

"So-called, uh, mystery boyfriend?" Agent Cooper asked, pressing play on the remote in her hand.

"Alison didn't want us to know who he was."

"Was he an older high school boy?"

"She only told me enough to make it a secret." Spencer keeps her eyes on the screen.

Agent Cooper tilts her head up as she looked the five girls over, "Huh, Alison liked secrets, huh?"

Sadie swallows the lump in her throat as she thought about her own kept secrets, "What teenage girl doesn't?"

"She thought sharing secrets kept us close." Emily says to the detective.

"They do, but secrets are made to be found out with time."

"I know you wanna kiss me."

          𝐒𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐀𝐍𝐄𝐃 as she threw herself into Ezra's desk chair as he wrote on the board, "I hate my life!"

The teacher chuckled, sitting the chalk down in the tray before leaning against his desk with his arms crossed over his chest, "Wanna talk about?"

"Not really." She pouts, crossing her arms over her chest.

Ezra nodded, titling his head to the side, "Wanna sit in here your free period?"

"Please."

He lets out a laugh as he picks the chalk back up and keeps writing, "Snacks in the top drawer."

"Keep it coming, and you might just bump Wes down a spot."

────୨ৎ────

           ❝ 𝐈 𝐂𝐀𝐍'𝐓 believe I actually have to go to this. ❞ Sadie rolls her eyes as she follows behind the others into Spencer house, each of them holding their own box of camping supplies.

"Oh, suck it up." Spencer laughs but goes quiet as they walk into the kitchen to find Melissa standing there with Ian.

Melissa turns to look at her sister and her friend, "You guys are going camping? Cute."

"Wait. Hey." Spencer follows after her sister as the other girls look between each other.

"Well, that was awkward." Sadie leaned against the counter as Melissa and Ian walk out of the Hastings home.

"Since when are you mending Melissa's relationships?" Aria asked.

Spencer shrugged, "I kind of owe it to her."

"What's she ever done for you?"

"It's more about what did I do to her." Spencer side, taking a sleeping bag from the box of stuff they had brought it. "I'm the reason she and Wren broke up. We had a moment and . . . Melissa saw us."

"A moment?"

"Yeah, it gets worse." Spencer sighed, "Yeah, Melissa doesn't know this part. I also had a moment with Ian."

Sadie smirked, "Spencer, you sly dog."

"Shut up." Hanna looks at her in disbelief.

"It was early in the summer before Alison went missing." Spencer tells them, "It was just one kiss, but after they broke up, we started seeing each other. I feel like a poster child for poor judgement."

"You could've told us, Spencer." Emily tells her.

"Really? 'Cause Ali knew about the first kiss and she thought I was awful."

"Well, we are not Ali." Aria says.

"I should not tell Melissa, right?" Spencer asked them.

"Right."

"Right."

"I can't really judge." Sadie shrugged her shoulder, causing the girls to look over at her in confusion. "Behind Jason's closed doors and loud emo music . . . the two of us were ──,"

"Shut up!" Hanna gasps, "You were making out with Ali's brother?! Sadie!"

"And it might have carried on while I was staying with him and his family. . . ," Sadie trails off.

"So, when he was here . . . and staying with you and Will . . . .,"

"Yep."

"Sadie!"

"Wait, Spencer, turn the TV up." Hanna cuts the conversation about Sadie and Jason as something on the TV catches her eye.

Spencer does as she says.

A picture of Alison was on the TV, "Authorities searched the family home earlier today, and initial reports have confirmed that a bloodstain on the sweater is a match to the victims. If you just tuned in, police have issued a warrant for the arrest of missing Rosewood teen, Toby Cavanaugh. He is wanted for the murder of Alison DiLaurentis."

"The sweater is Toby's."

"No, Alison was not dating Toby." Aria shakes her head, "There is no way he's the guy she's talking to in the video."

"Aria, you saw the news." Hanna argues with Aria, "They have proof."

"If it's Toby's sweater, then he has to be the boy. at the kissing rock." Spencer says.

"Is it finally over?" Emily questioned her friends.

"No. Toby's been missing for weeks." Spencer looks back at his friends. "It won't be over until he's behind bars."

────୨ৎ────

           𝐒𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐄'𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃 rests on Will's lap as they sit on the couch in the living room, "I don't think Toby did it."

"All of your friends think that he killed Alison, and you don't believe that?" Will looked down at his little sister with an eyebrow raised as he brushes his fingers through her blonde hair.

"Toby doesn't have a killer bone in his body, Will." She sighs, "He's a good kid that took the fall for a bunch of stupid girls who ruined not only his life, but his stepsister's life."

"Hey, it wasn't your fault. It was nobody but Alison's. She made a harsh decision, and nobody can be blamed for it but her." The redhead tells his blonde sister, "Now, I'm going to go to work, save some lives and you're going to glamp it up at Camp Mona."

He laughs loudly as Sadie groaned, rolling off his lap and laying in the floor.

"Then, when the weekend is over, how about you and I, maybe even Cassie, go up to Chicago and visit Jesse. We can meet his team, tease him about the girl he thinks he's keeping a secret from us, and we'll have a relaxing time. Jason can meet us there."

"Fine. But I'm going to hate every minute of this "glamping"." She tells him as she picks herself back up from the ground, heading for the stairs, "Love you!"

"Love you!"

The smile on Will's face drops as he looks down at his phone in hand that was ringing, ❛ᴀʟɪᴄᴇ ʙᴇᴀᴜᴍᴏɴᴛ❜ flashing on the screen.

          𝐒𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐒 behind Aria and Spencer towards where Mona was throwing her birthday party, "Ugh, I'm gonna throw up."

"Be nice. For just a weekend." Aria tells her.

"Whatever."

"Welcome to Camp Mona!" Mona sings as she skips over to the three girls walking in.

"Happy Birthday." Aria smiles back as the three of them hold out wrapped gifts.

"Ah! Whatever it is, I'm sure I'm gonna love it." Mona takes them out, "And if not, I'll return it."

"Kill me now." Sadie mumbles under her breath.

Mona holds out three large bags to the girls, "Swag."

"Oh, thanks." Spencer pulls the shirt from the bag, the words 'Camp Mona' on the front of the black shirt, "It's subtitle."

"Okay, tour time." Mona turns around, the three following her, "So, over here, we have the massage tent, the mani-pedi area, the blow-me bar and the mini bar."

"Well, I know where I'm spending all of my time." Sadie mumbled, earning an amused smirk from Spencer.

"Excuse me." Mona walks off towards another table, "Uh, did I just see you eat a cookie?"

The three girls look at each other with smirks as they walk away.

────୨ৎ────

          ❝ 𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐄 back to tell me that he's innocent and that he didn't hurt, Ali. ❞ Emily sits in a tent with the girls after talking to Toby.

"He's lying."

"We have to tell the police." Aria shakes her head, taking notice of the look on Emily's face just before her phone started ringing. "It's Hanna." She answers the phone, "Hey."

"How's my friend, Mona?"

"Oh, she's Mona." Aria answered after taking a look at where the girl was standing, counting the presents that she had received.

"Well, I'm leaving in ten. And if 'A' is watching you, I'll be watching her."

"Are you sure you're gonna be okay?"

"Aria, I went to fat camp for five summers. I can handle some woods."

"Hannah, listen. Emily saw Toby." Aria says before she pulls her phone away from her ear, "God, service out her sucks. Her phone dings again, 'It's from A. 'You found my bracelet. Now come find me. Good luck, bitches."

"I think we're supposed to go where we found Ali's bracelet." Spencer tells them.

"That was in the middle of nowhere."

"Uh, actually, it was fifteen steps east of the half-point tree which is 136 steps from the main road." Spencer reminded them.

"You're a freak and I love you." Aria tells the Hastings girl as the four of them stand up.

"Emily, Aria, your turn to get blown." Mona sticks her head inside the tent before walking away.

"Well, it had to look like we're here for the party." Spencer tells them. "So go glamp and we'll be back before it gets dark."

"Oh, thank God I don't have to stay." Sadie shakes her head as she quickly walks out of the white tent.

Emily smirked, "She really doesn't like Mona."

────୨ৎ────

          𝐀 𝐒𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐑 leaves Sadie's lips as she and Spencer walk back towards the camp to the tent where and Emily were supposed to be getting, "blown", "Don't the two of you look good?"

"Shut up."

Spencer grinned, "What happens if you touch it?"

Emily crosses her arms, "Did you guys find anything?"

Sadie looks over her shoulder for a second before turning back, "Come here."

"Guys, check it out." Spencer pulls a little bag out of her pocket, pulling out a bracelet just like theirs that had Jenna's name on it.

"Is Jenna telling us that she's 'A'?" Emily asked as she took the bracelet into her own hands.

"We don't think so. There's something else." Sadie says as Spencer shows them a small piece of paper. "You're as in the dark as Jenna. Looking for me in all the wrong places."

"Well, if this is the wrong place then what's the right place?" Aria questioned.

"I really hate camping."

────୨ৎ────

          ❝ 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐑! 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐑! ❞ Sadie quickly runs over to where Spencer was roasting a marshmallow, "I figured it out! I freaking figured it out!"

Spencer's eyes grow wide as the blonde yanks her up from her place, passing the marshmallow to the blonde that had been sitting next to her. "What are you talking about?"

"We have to go to the Wright place! Not Right place." Sadie's hands shake as her anxiety shoots through the roof.

Spencer's eyes grow wide, slowly getting what Sadie was telling her just as Emily walked over to them, "Hey, where's Aria?"

"I don't know."

"Sadie figured it out. We have to go to the Wright place." Spencer tells the Fields teen before spelling it out, "W-R-I-G-H-T."

Emily's eyes grow wide, "Wrights Playground."

────୨ৎ────

          ❝ 𝐈 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊 you're actually enjoying this. ❞ Emily walks with Sadie as Spencer walks ahead of them.

Sadie grinned, "This is so much better than Camp Mona. Highlight of my night."

"There is seriously something wrong with you." Spencer laughs as she shines her flashlight on the sign for the playground.

"Whatever it is helps me sleep at night." Sadie tells them as they walk up to the playground, the three of them spinning around as something creeks behind them, only to see that it was the swing. "But shit like that keeps me awake at night."

"Let's keep going." Spencer mumbled before they kept walking, Spencer shinning her flashlight towards a tree, "Emily, Sadie."

Emily picks a stick up from the ground, scrapping away at the moss that covered the rest of the carving on the tree, "Alison loves Ian?"

Sadie's phone dings, the blonde pulling it from her back pocket to show the text message from Hanna telling them to meet in the parking lot because she knew who 'A' was.

────୨ৎ────

          ❝ 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐀! 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐀! ❞ The girls call out for their other blonde friend, Aria having joined them.

"We're over here."

The girls and Hannah begin to run towards each other before a car came speeding toward Hannah, the four of them calling out for her.

Sadie acts quickly, sprinting towards Hanna and throwing herself towards one of her closest friends. Though, she isn't quick enough and the car hits both of the teenagers, sending them over the top of the car before hitting the ground.

"Hanna! Sadie!"

"Call 9-1-1!"

"There's been an accident! We're at the Camp Rosewood parking lot. Please hurry!"

"They're not breathing!"
