0313- This Is A Dark Ride

"Give me a hint." Hannah pleads on our walk home.

"I will not give you a hint. We made a deal. You'll see my costume tonight at the party." Spencer tells her.

"But what if we end up wearing the same thing?" Hannah asks.

"We are not going to be wearing the same thing, I promise you." Spencer says.

"Look I'll give you a hint if you give me a hint." Hannah offers.

"No hints, okay? We said we're going to pick somebody from a movie and we're all going to surprise each other." Aria tells us all.

"Whose stupid idea was that?" Hannah asks.

"Yours." Spencer, Aria and I say in sync.

"Guys just wait till you see Logan. I picked up his costume yesterday it's amazing." I tell them and Aria scoffs.

"You're going to die when you see us." I tell them.

"God you have my brother so like under your thumb that I can't quite believe he's doing this." Aria tells me.

I smile happily and give her a little shrug.

"Em are you sure you wanna do this thing?" Spencer drops back to talk to Emily.

All our neighbourhoods are covered In Halloween decorations and it looks quite cool to be fair.

"I want to do this. I need to do it. I want a something big and splashy to mark the whole before and after of everything." Emily tells us.

"Symbols and ceremonies?" Spencer asks.

"Plus there's mystery live entertainment." Aria speaks up.

"I have to get to the dentist." Hannah lets out a heavy sigh.

"How is Caleb?" Emily asks.

"He's getting better. It was easier when he was in the hospital though. Now he got out and we have to go under the radar." Hannah says all sad and mopey.

"Are you sure you want to go to on the ghost train?" Aria asks her.

"Yeah." Hannah says in a 'duh' tone. "Otherwise I'm stuck with my mom and Pastor Ted, handing out candy to rug rats."

"Your mom and pastor Ted?" Spencer questions.

"Yeah. They're getting pretty domestic." Hannah scrunches up her face.

"I'd tell her to go for it. My mom moved on." Aria says.

"Speaking of moms." Emily says and everyone turns to look at me.

"She's fine." I tell them.

What they don't know is that I have an appointment next week to talk about my options before we get my mom involved.

Apparently my blood and bone marrow is a match.

"Oh my god." Emily says and I stop and turn to look in her direction.

Someone's decorated their garden as a cemetery and made a fake coffin and marked it as Ali.

"Okay, who would do that?" Hannah asks.

"It's Clifford Yerdley's house." Spencer tells us.

"He's such an astonishing jerk." Aria says.

"Jokes over." Emily says and rushes up to the coffin.

Shuts as she's about to open it someone pretending to be a skeleton with a blonde wig on jumps out.

Emily picks up a stone and throws it at him.
