EMISON: Memento Vivere (discontinued)

Chapter V

Emily finds it funny how their conference video always starts. Usually with the girls getting all competitive, showing off the girl of the week they think she should date. Which often ends to her declining. The girls just never falters in making an effort in convincing her to go out. Just like Jake, it sort of became their lifelong quest to make sure she go out for a date. The thing is, Emily is just not ready. She doesn't. She feels she won't be anytime sooner.

"I told you guys I'm not... interested," Emily responded.

Aria: Shoot. There's a "but" in that sentence. I feel it.

Hanna: Are you a shrink now?

Spencer: Real smart, Han.

Hanna: What did I say now?

Aria: $100 bucks Em's finally interested in someone.

Hanna: Crap, there goes my $100 bucks. Are you seeing someone already, Emily? You don't like big boobs? Fine, I'll look for smaller ones.

Spencer: Han! It's not about the boobs.

Hanna: Are you sure?

Spencer: Have you been drinking again?

This time Aria and Emily are both trying to contain their laughs.

Emily: I'm not seeing anyone. Yet, I think. I don't know? I mean I barely know her. Jake gave her my number.

Hanna: Wait, hot Jake? He still has a girlfriend?

Spencer: Not about you, Han

Hanna: But he's hot (said in a defeated tone)

Aria: Go ahead, Em. We're listening... But?

Emily: She reminds me of Alison.

Hanna: Why?

Spencer and Aria: Hanna!!

Hanna: Whaaat now? I'm just asking (shrugs)

Emily: I just keep seeing her. Ali. I can't do it. Im not ready.

Spencer: Then when, Em? When will you be ready? I know it's been the hardest for you. But she's gone, Emily. We don't even know if she's coming back ever since she--

Aria: Which is exactly why dating isn't too bad of an idea. Just try, Em. We're not forcing you to. We understand you have to come into terms first. But as long as you live in her memories, then that only stops you from moving forward. You owe it to yourself to be happy.

Emily thought to herself, "what if she comes back?"

Hanna: And that my friends is the spirit of The United Shrinks speaking through Aria. May the spirits be everrr in your favourrrr. Now can we see her?

Spencer: Excuse me, Han. Grown up convo going on here.

Hanna: Em, please tell Spence I'm a grown up too.

Emily: Spence, you heard the lady. Sorry, Han. I don't have a picture. Wait, I do. I took some stolen shots when I saw her at the park last week. Hang on.

Hanna: Wait! why did she remind you of Alison?

After a few minutes, Emily came back with a developed picture of Alexis. The picture shows Alexis slightly looking up with a definite smile of her face.

Hanna: I have to say she's gorgeous. Queen B material. Can pass as Ali's sister. No for big boobs then.

Spencer and Aria: Han!! Enough with the boobs!

Hanna: What? Just saying.

Aria: What's her name?

Emily: Aly.
