Spencer was in her room trying to find an outfit that was the perfect blend of beachy and slutty. She was debating between two pairs of cut off jean shorts when her mom announced company.

"Spencer, your friend Emily is here" Veronica said as Emily walked in.

"Hey" she said sheepishly "sorry I disappeared on you last night, I had no idea that Hanna and Aria would take you to the races, I should've known" she said shaking her head.

"It's okay" Spencer said. Emily was already rifling through her closet.

"Do you have anything you'd wear to like a country club or one of your parents stuffy office parties?"

"Yeah" Spencer said wondering if she should be insulted. She handed her a dress.

"This is perfect!" Emily said. "Put it on"

"Are we going to a country club?" Spencer said almost excitedly.

"Of course not" Emily said "the nearest country club is three towns away"

Spencer nodded

"We're going to church" Emily said.

"I don't go to church" Spencer said.

"You do today" Emily said.

Spencer relented putting the dress on. She pulled her hair back as Emily instructed. Spencer was wearing a short tank top dress with a white lace top and a peach swishy bottom. Emily was wearing a maroon tight fitting short sleeve dress. Hanna wore a navy blue dress.

When she got to the church she saw Aria had a short sleeve lace dress. And Ali had a dress similar to Spencer but with a floral bottom and more fitted top.

Spencer sat with Emily, Ben, and her parents. The girls sat with their boyfriends and families. She was trying to look interested in the program when someone sat down next to her. After all the fuss this morning it shouldn't have surprised her but it did when she realized it was the hunky mechanic. Spencer was fidgeting nervously in the pew. The hunky mechanic placed his hand on Spencer's knee. It wasn't in a sleazy, creepy way. His hand was warm and made the rest of her feel so cold she shivered. The hunky mechanic must have taken that as her being uncomfortable because he moved his hand. She missed his warmth immediately. Just then Alison stepped onto the stage. She was holding a microphone in her hand as music started to play. She started to sing amazing grace, the whole church started to sing as-well. Luckily Spencer knew that song so she sang a log too.

After the singing an older guy approached the stage and started to talk.

"Good Morning" he said addressing his audience.

"Good Morning" they replied.

"Today is a most joyous day for me and my family" he said "my wife and I have been married 10 years today"

He started pacing across stage.

"You know, I think one of the greatest things we do as parents is to teach our children how to love" he said. "That's what are sermon today will be about, but I won't be giving it. I have asked my step-son, who I've always loved as if he were my own, to give this weeks sermon.

All of a sudden the hunky mechanic stood up and her heart plummeted into her stomach. She could feel her face get redder and redder.

He talked for an hour about love, selflessness and forgiveness. She noted that it didn't seem like any of their friends were paying much attention. Ali was writing in a diary. Hanna was doing her nails. She was pretty sure Aria was reading a book that was not a bible.
