Prompt: A dream turned reality?...and I decided to add my own spin on this and set this little "prompt" before Ali's disappearance, something about that just makes it a little hotter. ;)

No One's POV

"Spencer, what do you have to eat?" Ali walked into Spencer's barn, waving to Aria and Hanna as she did. Hanna admiring the way Ali walked with so much confidence. Ali who was beautiful and who guys thought looked hot while Hanna watched uncomfortably from the sidelines, her insecurities eating her like she ate them, literally.

"Oh, hey Ali, glad you could make it, and yeah, I've got pizza on the way, and Aria and Hanna brought some snacks."

Ali sat down on one of the couches and looked around, she didn't see Emily. Why hadn't she noticed that when she first got their? Spencer walked over after pressing play on her radio and sat among the other girls. Ali didn't want to bring up Emily just out of the blue; she didn't want the girls making any assumptions about the way she felt about her favorite person.

Aria moved from the couch and sat cross-legged on the rug on the floor. Hanna followed suit, her arms holding her midsection and her eyes never meeting the other blonde's. Ali knew the way Hanna looked at her and why and Ali wanted to tell Hanna she was beautiful the way she was, but she didn't. it was like she couldn't. Ali felt as if no matter what she did, she was wired for bad...except for when Emily was around, Emily Fields was the only person that could ever cause cracks in Ali's shield to form. Alison was scared and thrilled by it. The desire to be good was seducing her, and that desire could only be felt when Emily was around.

Em made Ali feel good, like she mattered, like she could be loved and as much as Ali wanted to reciprocate that love, her wiring betrayed her and she usually crushed the brunette and broke her heart. She couldn't even push Emily away and try to accept that she didn't deserve her, because no matter what Ali did, Emily would wiggle her way back into her heart and welcome Ali with an open heart.

"Ali, hey did you hear me?"

"What? Yeah."

Aria tilted her head, not quite believing her and said, "fine, who wants to go first."

Instead of making herself look like a fool, Ali cut in and volunteered Spencer so she knew what was going on before, it was 'her turn.' "Well, Spencer is the host, so she should go first."

Spencer shrugged, "Okay fine, but shouldn't we wait for Em?"

Ali sat up straighter and then relaxed, letting no one see her reaction to hearing Emily's name. She moved to the floor to join and the girls and in a casual, cool voice, "yeah, where is she anyways?" it didn't raise suspicion when she asked like this, after her name was already brought up and just as Hanna was going to volunteer to text her, a knock sounded in the door and in walked Emily, a nervous smile on her face while a timid, "hey guys, sorry I'm late," was heard.

All at once the girls greeted Emily and she walked in with a plastic bag full of soda and cups. "I know you said not to Spence, but I brought some drinks, especially since I knew," she reached the table and picked up a cookie, "that Hanna and Aria would take care of the snacks."

Hanna and Aria laughed and Aria added, "yeah well, I would of brought pie but they only had cake."

"Yup, so we picked the cookies, and chips. Why not?"

Em walked over to sit with the girls, and Ali moved ever so slightly, making a bit more room for Em to sit down.

Emily didn't take it, remembering the recent shunning Ali had given her in the locker room. Em stood directly across from her and instead of greeting them individually, she smiled in everyone's general direction, except Ali's and sat right down next to Hanna and Aria. Spencer was a little closer to Ali, across from Em and she could sense that something between the two of them was a little off, but she couldn't place what that something was.
