I'm sorry that it's been so long! I'll try to upload faster. I've just been feeling sad lately. But I owed this to you guys. Also, an anonymous user asked a good question, regarding A. They asked if because A was obsessed with Alison in the show, wouldn't A in this story be Spencer? I thought about this before I started this story. I decided not to, because I wanted to keep the spirit of A, so I just used A and not S.

Enjoy!

8:30PM, Toby snuck out of his house and drove his motorcycle to the Brew. He quickly went behind The Brew into the alleyway and stood still, waiting for Spencer to show up. He checked his phone and saw it was 8:55. She would be here in minutes.

At 9:00 sharp, a slender figure emerged from the shadows and stood in front of him. He watched it silently, not daring to breath. Toby wasn't sure how long it was standing there. Finally, the figure moved into the light of the moon and was revealed to be Spencer.

Toby broke into a grin, and Spencer gave him a radiant smile. He opened his arms and she ran into them, wrapping her smaller arms around his. Spencer broke the hug and and before Toby knew it her lips were on his.

It wasn't a long kiss though, but he enjoyed it. When she broke away, her smile faded and her face was serious.

"Toby, I'm so sorry for leaving you. I should have told you, but, if I did, you wouldn't be safe. None of you would."

"Then why does Alison know?" He asked softly.

Spencer looked down at the gravel. "It's complicated," she replied, not looking at him.

"I know," Toby said, his eyes trained on her. "This whole thing is complicated. But if you tell me, I - we - can help you."

She finally looked at him, her eyes filled with tears. "I can't tell you yet. But I will soon. I just need more time."

Toby didn't reply. Instead he asked, "do you know who A is?"

Now the tears were falling down Spencer's pale face. "No," she sniffled, "but I have a good idea. But I have to be sure. This is why I can't tell you guys. I don't want to get it wrong, like I did last time."

Toby furrowed his eyebrows. "Last time?"

Spencer didn't answer him. She threw her arms around him in an embrace. "I've missed you," she cried.

"I've missed you too," Toby replied, hugging her back.

After a moment, he broke away, but kept his arms on hers. "Who else knows you're alive?" He asks.

"Talk to Mona," she said, not answering his question. "She has answers."

"But Mona -"

"Lost her memory. I know. But seriously, Toby, talk to her!"

"But -" he began but was cut off by a loud snap behind them. He whirled around and was faced with darkness. After a moment, he turned back but Spencer was gone.

He looked around, but she wasn't there wasn't until later that night when he received a text:

We'll be in touch.

-S

"Of course Alison isn't at school today," Hanna said on Monday. "Now what?"

"We can always stop by her place after school," Emily suggested. "Her parents are gone for the week, so she'll be alone, except for Jason."

"How do you know Jason is staying at Ali's house?" Aria asked.

Emily shrugged. "It's just a guess. Where else would he stay?"

"How do you even know she'll be there?" Caleb asked. "She wasn't at her house on Saturday or Sunday."

"It's worth a try," Emily replied.

"What about Mona?" Hanna asked.

Emily looked at her. "What about her?"

"The Doctor said she wouldn't remember anything from three days to a week. She started her research on Spencer ages ago. She must still remember it and the warehouse!" Hanna exclaimed.

"That's true," Caleb said. I think we should go visit Mona after school."

"Um, hello?" Aria waved. "Have we forgotten that Alison knew that Spencer was alive all along? She has answers!"

"Well so does Mona," Hanna replied.

"Well, why can't half of us visit Alison and the other half visit Mona?" Toby asked.

"I'd like to do that," Caleb replied, "but I don't think it's a good idea. Not after... Friday night."

"He's right," Aria reasoned. "Besides, why don't we visit Mona first, and then Alison?"

"I can't," Emily said. "I have swim practice tonight. I can only do one."

"Guys," Caleb began. "I think we're missing the obvious here."

"Which is?" Toby asked.

"We tell the police." Caleb said seriously.

"That would be lovely dear, but we can't," Hanna told her boyfriend.

Caleb looked at her. "Why not?"

"Because we have no proof!" Hanna yelled. "They're not gonna believe Spencer's mourning friends that claim she's alive with no proof. Plus, have you forgotten that they found a body that seems to be Spencer?"

"Okay, geez," Caleb replied.

"I don't even care, I'm going to Alison's after school," Emily said, hoisting her bag on her shoulder.

"Me too," Aria told the swimmer.

Hanna shrugged. "I'm going to visit Mona at the hospital."

"I'll go with you," Caleb said, intervening his fingers with Hanna's.

"Is it okay if I tag along?" Toby asked them. "I don't think Alison will be pleased to see me."

"Of course," Hanna smiled.

"Okay, now what about Noel?" Aria asked. "We still don't know what he's up to."

"I don't know. Maybe he was offered some money," Hanna guessed.

"Well he must have been offered a lot because he tried to kill me the other night!" Aria snapped.

"Who tried to kill you?" A voice asked from behind. Toby turned around and saw Mr. Fitz - well, Ezra.

"Noel," Aria said disgustingly. "But then Jason knocked him out."

Ezra furrowed his eyebrows. "Jason DiLaurentis?" Aria nodded. "What was he doing at a teen party?"

Aria shrugged. "He said that Noel knew Ian, so Jason would still get invited. I don't know what Noel was going to do to me, but Jason came and saved me."

"Or he came to see if Noel finished the job." Ezra said slowly. Everybody looked at him.

"What?" Hanna exclaimed.

"Maybe Jason is helping A too. You don't know who you can trust."

"I don't think Jason is a part of this." Aria said flatly.

Ezra sighed. "Look, two people could have died the other night. You guys need to be careful."

"We will." Caleb said firmly.

After school, Toby went with Caleb and Hanna to visit Mona at the hospital. They talked to the lady at the reception and went to Mona's room.

Caleb, who was at the front, didn't even bother to knock on the door. He opened it and walked in, not glancing to see if Mona was even awake.

She was.

"Um, hello again," Mona greeted as politely.

"Mona, we know about the warehouse," Caleb stated.

Mona's face immediately changed from innocent to serious. "Let me guess, I told you guys, and took you there." She guessed dryly.

Hanna nodded. "What else do you know?"

"Oh, I know lots of things," Mona replied dismissively. "What do you want to know?"

"Quit the crap Mona," Caleb snapped. Mona rolled her eyes.

"Alright, look. Wait for me to get out of here, okay? When I'm discharged you and the rest of the Scooby squad can come to the warehouse with me."

"And when will you be released?" Caleb asked.

"A couple of days," Mona replied.

Caleb stared at Mona, hard. Toby wasn't sure what he had against Mona at this point.

"Let's just go," Toby said, turning towards the door. "Feel better soon, Mona." He said and the three teens left Mona's hospital room.

"Alison," Emily yelled, banging on the DiLaurentis' front door. "We know you're in there. Open up!"

No answer.

They've been taking turns banging on the front door for nearly 20 minutes.

"Alison!" Aria yelled. Eventually, mid knock, the door swung open to reveal Jason. His face turned from irritation to one of pleasure. "Aria," He said, almost smiling.

"Hi, Jason," Aria greeted with a half smile. "Um, we were looking for -"

"Alison, I know," he finished. "The whole street can hear you."

Emily blushed, but Aria continued. "Is she here?"

Jason didn't say anything for a moment. Then, he opened the door to let the girls in. "Yeah. She's been in her room for days."

"Thank you, Jason," Aria said softly before stepping inside with Emily trailing behind.
