Isabel Rivers never really had a safe place to land. That was before she met queen bee Alison DiLaurentis. She was Ali's favorite. They also had four other friends. It was the perfect group.
Right until Ali went missing one summer.
And turned up...

"How come I don't have a date, and you have a date who brought a date?" -Hanna Marin
After they searched the entire graveyard, the five of them went back to Spencer's house. The yearly fashion show was coming up, and Spencer was forcing them to fold programs.
"Why would 'A' show us that part of the video Aria frowned.
"To keep us distracted for when the next attack is launched," Hanna grumbled, picking up another paper.
"Or to tell us there's more to what happened that night," Emily said.
"Guys, Ian tried to kill me in the bell tower to get back his perverted videos, and he went after Ali for the same reason," Spencer pointed out.
"Yeah, but 'A' had us convinced that Ian killed Alison, and now it's, what, two miles from the Kissing Rock to Ali's house?" Emily told them.
"Did she turn off the camera and walk home in the dark, alone?" Isabel scoffed. "No. But my point is, we really believed Ian killed Alison, and let's say he didn't. What's the fun in having us think Ian did it when 'A' could lead us on thousands of other pointless goose chases?"
"That makes sense," Spencer nodded, setting aside another paper.
"Yeah, someone could've been waiting for her and surprised her when she got home," Hanna added.
"Like who?" Aria frowned.
"Like Ian," Emily said. "Just because he didn't kill Alison at the Kissing Rock doesn't mean that he didn't do it an hour later."
They were quiet for a couple beats as they folded more programs.
"So, uh, did you invite Ezra to the show?" Hanna spoke up.
"No, he's out of town presenting a paper at a conference," Aria explained. "Did you invite Caleb?"
"Why would I do that?" Hanna mumbled, looking down.
"Because you kissed him," Spencer smirked.
"Hold up. You kissed him?" Isabel grinned. "Are you guys back together now? Yes, finally!"
"Isabel," Hanna sighed, but then also grinned. "What about you?"
"What do you mean?" Isabel frowned. "Ew, no, I'd never kiss my brother."
"Not your brother," Hanna said. "Jason."
"I saw you two at Ian's funeral," Aria nodded. "You put an arm around his shoulder."
