"It's like it's 9th grade all over again, and we are here on The Whirly Girly Ride." -Spencer Hastings
The bus to Rosewood screeched to a halt, and Isabel, Spencer, Hanna, Emily, and Aria all stepped out of it.
The girls waited as Ali stood in the doorway of the bus hesitantly.
"Ali, are you okay?" Hanna called. Ali didn't move, seemingly frozen.
Suddenly, she whirled back around and tried to scamper back onto the bus.
"Stop," Emily demanded, catching the blonde with by the arm. "You don't need to run anymore. 'A' is gone. Come on."
She slowly stepped down from the steps, and walked over to the girls as the bus drove off.
"Ali, look... we talked about this," Isabel sighed, crossing her arms. "You know it's the right decision."
"Maybe I should go home first... speak to my mom," Ali suggested hastily.
Emily stared at her and remarked, "Ali, your mother buried you."
Ali turned away, but Spencer quickly said, "Look, I think it's more important that the police know you're alive before your mom does."
"Hey, yeah. You need to walk in there and tell them everything," Emily agreed. "I mean, about Mona being 'A,' Shana taking over where Mona left off... all of it. Start with the night that you ran away."
"No. Before that you have to start with the Jenna thing," Spencer said abruptly.
"Wait, what? Why?" Hanna blinked, voicing all their thoughts.
"She has to," Spencer insisted. "Shana was after us for payback for what happened to Jenna."
"I can't do this. I can't," Ali panicked.
"You can. Okay, you're not in this alone," Isabel assured her in a soothing voice.
"'A' tortured all of us, and what happened to Shana-" Emily began.
"Happened because of me," Aria said, speaking for the first time. "And I can handle that part. I think. But, Ali, look, you're gonna have to cover the rest."
Ali turned her head in the direction of the Rosewood PD, considering.
"Ali," Spencer called, snapping Ali back into reality. "Are we in agreement?"
