After their hour-long layover in Phoenix, Spencer and Toby boarded a small plane that would take them the rest of the way to San Luis Obisbo.

After they were in the air, Spencer rested her head against Toby's shoulder.

"21 days," Spencer mumbled, noting that their wedding day was close.

"I can't wait," Toby said as he kissed Spencer lightly on top of the head.

They finally felt at peace. Their wedding was completely planned, they had a honeymoon in New York coming up after, and A had disappeared as quickly as they had come back.

Emily found Paige later on the day she was kidnapped. She had used the GPS on her phone and found her at the K-Mart nearby. Paige told Emily that she hadn't been kidnapped, but couldn't contact Emily to tell her.

So there. Much ado about nothing. There was some fake A messing with them.

They arrived in California at 2:00 pacific time. They stepped out into the warm Tarmac and into the tiny airport.

After picking up luggage and hopping into their rental car, Spencer punched in the address of Aria and Ezra's home.

"Calculating route," the GPS robot said. It would take them 15 minutes to get there, but judging by traffic, the drive would possible take longer.

"Which house is it? There's no 53!" Spencer yelled, agitated. They had driven around Aria's street at least three times. Apparently her house number didn't exist.

On the fourth time around, they spotted a familiar car pulling out of a driveway. Aria was driving. She stopped the car and rolled down the window. Toby followed suit.

"Oh my god! Hey Spence!" She giggled.

"Hey, Ar!" Spencer beamed. Even though she was unbearable at times, she was still Spencer's best friend, and she was happy to see her.

"I'm on my way to pick up Josh and Ada Lynn, so I'll be back in a half hour. But the door's unlocked, so the room at the end of the second hallway is yours! Make yourselves at home!" She squealed before driving away.

Toby and Spencer pulled their car into the driveway and stepped inside the house.
