Alison pouted as she followed behind her parents into the Gala. It's for her dad's job so the DiLaurentis' were out in rare form. They were dressed to the nines and looked like they stepped straight out of a magazine. The youngest DiLaurentis would rather be with her friends and girlfriend at a party tonight. But, here she is. Acting like the perfect daughter.

She looked over at Jason and smirked. He looked even more miserable than her. She checked her phone to see if Em had texted her but her girlfriend hadn't sent her a word yet. Not since she told her that she would be on her best behavior at the party. Tonight is the first function since they'd gotten together that they wouldn't be joined at the hip. Her mom had asked if Emily wanted to come but Emily said she wanted to give the family their space.

They sat at a table smack dead in the front of the stage and in the middle of the room. She smiled and struck a pose for the photographer. A couple family pictures later, they sat down. Jason tapped her on the shoulder and whispered in her ear.

"How much you bet Dad drinks a whole cup of straight vodka?"
Ali smirked. "Nothing. I know he will."
"I can't believe you let Em go to a party without you," chuckled Jason.
"It wasn't my choice," said Alison. "But I've got trust in her."

*At the Party*

"Yeah Em! Drink that shit!"

The swimmer was currently participating in a drinking game with all the jocks. Hanna and Caleb were in a corner on the sofa, making out, and Emily didn't want to play third wheel. Toby was standing to her left with his basketball buddies since Spencer opted to stay home and study. Aria was sitting outside the party, texting Ezra.

Toby laughed. "Damn Em. You've beat almost everyone here!"
"But she hasn't beat me."

Everyone turned at the sound of the voice. There stood Maya St. Germain with a smirk on her face. Emily smiled at her and gave her a grin.

"Bring it on," said Em. "I'm on a role. I can't be touched!"
"Let's make this game a little more interesting."
"What you got?!"
"Ask And Tell. We each get two full cups of liquor. We each ask the other a question and we must answer. If the other person refuses to answer, you have to take a sip of your drink annnddd... lose an item of clothing."
Everybody oohed.
"You're on."
Toby looked around. "Whoa Em, you sure you want to do this?"
"It doesn't sound too bad. I've got nothing to hide. What could go wrong?"

Ali was sitting at the table, bored out of her mind. Jason was off talking to a senator's daughter and she was pretty sure the girl had whisked Jason off to do God knows what. Her mom was currently surrounded by all the housewives of her husband's company, smiling as if her mouth wasn't made to close. Her dad was talking to his colleagues. She heard someone call her name and her head snapped around.

"Well if it isn't the Queen Bee."
"Mona."
"Oh Ali. Don't act so enthused to see me. You might actually disappear in thin air."
"What do you want?" Ali sneered at the short dark-haired girl.
"Just saying hello. Our dad's work together Ali. We can at least be cordial."
"Ugh. Fine."
"I'm surprised your not at the party," Mona said, sitting next to Alison.
"I literally had no choice in the matter."
"Dad dragged us here too. Luckily I got to drive my own car."
"Lucky you."

Alison took a sip of her drink and made small talk with Mona. The two started critiquing what everyone was wearing, they actually were having a good time. Ali scrolled through her phone as she listened to Mona. That was until a post caught her eye. She started seeing red and felt like she was going to explode.

"What the fuck?!"

*Back at the Party*

Hanna heard screaming and whistles over near the kitchen where everyone was playing games. Curiosity got the best of her so she walked over to see what was going on. What she saw made her mouth drop open and shock spread through her body. Emily was going to be in so much trouble and hell, so was she. She was the one who practically dragged Emily here.
