MUSIC BOOMED FROM THE SPEAKERS, DROWNING OUT THE SOUND OF THE CRACKLING THUNDER. Hanna Marin, Spencer Hastings, Aria Montgomery and Emily Fields waited patiently for the arrival of their two friends in the Hasting's barn, sipping alcohol whilst giggling madly.
"Woah, what happened?" Asked Aria Montgomery, the preppy pink haired girl, once the music came to a sudden top.
"It must be the storm." Replied Spencer Hastings.
The sound of the wooden barn door creaking open echoed around the barn, sending the girls into panic, "Guys, there's something out there!"
"Guys. . ." Hanna Marin, or hefty Hanna, whispered.
The four teenagers got up from their seats, moving together in a small huddle towards the entrance, Aria leading the way with her flashlight.
Screaming and gasping, the girls jumped as the sound of breaking glass rang in their eyes.
"Gotcha!" Alison DiLaurentis jumped around the corner, laughing with her red haired friend, Amber Santori, at the look of terror on their friend's faces.
"So not funny, Alison!"
"Amber!"
"We thought it was hilarious, girls." Alison smiled, joining the rest of the group on the seats.
"Ali, did you download the new Beyoncé?" Hanna asked the blonde, taking a seat by Spencer.
"Ugh, not yet." Alison answered.
"I'm loving her new video." Smiled Emily, wrapping her arms around her legs.
"Maybe a little too much, Em," Alison teased, though the venom dripping from her words were clear, non of the girls said anything, "Your turn."
Aria accepted the drink, hesitantly taking her first sip before gulping it down.
"Careful, Aria! Drink too much and you'll tell us all your secrets." Spencer laughed.
"Friends share secrets, that's what keeps us close." Alison told the group of girls, glancing back to Aria as she passed another glass over to Amber.
Scrunching her nose up, Amber sniffed the drink, "How does alcohol smell so bad yet taste amazing?"
The girls giggled watching as the redhead took a large sip from her glass.
Alison turned her attention back to Aria, noticing her just glancing down at the cup while Amber chugged hers, "drink up!"

THE GIRLS SOMEHOW SLEPT PEACEFULLY THROUGH THE STORM, not even noticing the absence of their two friends, Alison and Spencer.
Aria Montgomery slowly raised her body from the floor, looking around the barn to find only just four of her friends.
"Em." She whispered softly, nudging her awake. Her action also woke up two other girls, Hanna and Amber.
"Where Ali and Spencer?" Hanna asked groggily.
"We don't know." Aria told her, getting up from her spot.
Amber caught up with the pink haired girl, not wanting her to be alone.
"Ali?" Aria called out.
A blurry figure walked out from the side of the barn, the two girls immediately recognised the voice as Spencer's, "she's gone."
"What do you mean she's gone?" Amber asked, stepping in front of the shorter girl.
"I've looked everywhere for her," the girls glanced nervously at one another, waiting for the Hastings girl to continue, "I think I heard her scream."
