"The English teacher?!" Valerie exclaimed shocked "Yeah... I like him Val, a lot." Aria admitted. "Wow who would've thought, you like Mr. Fitz and I like Ali's big brother," Valerie said in Disbelief.
Aria face scrunched up,
"What?" Valerie asked. "Please don't call him Mr. Fitz," "What else am I supposed to call him? My sisters bed buddy?" Valerie joked, Aria's eyes scrunched into a flat line as she look at her sister in shock not wanting to believe she just said that. "Too late in the day for sarcasm?"

And threw on a black trench coat on top. As Valerie sat at her vanity straightening her hair she was called downstairs by her sister, so she ran downstairs and the two left. ~~~ The group of girls sat in the front seat and as Valerie sat down Spencer walked up to the podium to give her speech, until Aria's elbow hit her sister's arm after seeing the look on her friends face, and pointed behind them. Valerie turned to see Ian, Melissa -Spencer's sister's ex who Spencer kissed once- Valerie reached for Hanna hand, only to be given a weird look. Valerie gestured subtly towards Ian.
"Ian?" Aria whispered. "Wait, Melissa's Ian?" Hanna whispered soon after, "Um.." Spencer started grabbing our attention back. "I can't remember not knowing Alison, not having her as a friend. She was the first person I knew long enough.. That I felt I could be angry with.. Without worrying that I was gonna lose her. It made me feel like something was gonna last and you need that. Especially when your a kid."
Soon it was Valerie's turn she walked up and made eye contact with Jason, then trailed to the audience.
"Ali was the type of friend that made you feel lucky. Made you feel loved, These were just some good quality's about her. She made the best side of you come out. She was forgiving, she understood. And I wouldn't be who I am without her today."
Soon after everyone-- Hanna, Aria, Emily, Spencer and Valerie-- went Jason helped Jenna up.
She walked up and started, "We think we know who we are, but we don't. Not until something bad happens to us. And then all the useless things fall away, and we're left with who we really are. I learned that from Alison DiLaurentis. My whole life, I thought I knew who she was. But I found out the truth when she came and talked to me at the hospital. I found out that she was the strongest person that I had ever met. And it's her strength that touched so many people, shaped them. That's her real legacy. That's how her memory will endure. In the actions of those she inspired in so many different ways. From all of us thank you, Alison."
~~~ "I need sugar," Hanna said as they walked into Spencer's house. "Me too." Aria said as they headed to the counter Spencer headed to the fridge. "That was my folks, they say thanks and so do I." Jason said walking in after the group.
"You're welcome." Emily said with a small smile. "I want you girls to have something, the police returned this to my family I think you should have it." Jason said pulled a bracelet out of his jacket.
"The police gave that you?" Em asked. "Alison was wearing it." he explained as Aria picked it up to observe it. "Wait. you mean when they found her?" Hanna asked Valerie leaned over Aria's arm and looked at it, it was the hand made bracelet's Alison got all her friends and printed on it was 'Alison' .
"After listening today, I just thought you should have it." Jason said. "I'll be in touch," he added looking at Valerie and walking out hearing the door shut Valerie spoke up,
"Okay what was that about?" "We found a duplicate of Ali's bracelet in the woods a while ago," Emily said Spencer walked over. "Someone made a copy of Alison's bracelet." Hanna said.
"yeah, and made sure that we would find it." Spencer said they all looked at each other the sounds of thunder crashed outside filling the deafening silence as their eyes looked from each other to the simple bracelet that once laid on their best friends wrist.
