"So, the father daughter dance" Jason said eating breakfast with Ava. "Wait that's today" Ava asked. "Yeah" Jason told her.

"Huh I usually skip them kind of had to with the whole your adoptive dad hating your guts thing" Ava said. "Well now you have me, and I am looking forward to this dance" Jason said.

"You really don't have to go" Ava said. "Hey, I want to okay I want to i promise okay" Jason said. "Okay" Ava said smiling. "I should get to school but see you soon" Ava said and left.

"Do mom and dad know you're watching murder movies that would kill them to find out A" Spencer said reading the text. "Is A talking about the NAT video" Aria asked.

"Of course, A knows we have their cell phone" Hanna said. "And now their willing to do anything and everything to get it back" Ava said.

"You guys check that text from A" Emily asked coming over. "Yeah, we were just discussing it" Ava said. "And now Melissa's threatening to kill our parents" Hanna said.

"I already told you Melissa can't be A" Spencer said. "Alison was getting texts from the law firm your sister interned at" Hanna said.

"Yes, but she explained that she just wanted Ali to leave Ian alone" Spencer said. "So, what, what I got chased by a hobo for nothing" Aria asked.

"Okay everyone easy Spence is right we've been wrong before" Ava said.

"That still doesn't explain why Melissa got into Garrett's car" Emily said. "Do you think that Garrett told her about the video" Aria asked.

"Cause If she knows that she's on it and if she's A" Aria said.

"You guys my sister is not A I watched her fall apart when we found Ian's body she had no idea that he was dead she wouldn't just text herself from her dead husband's phone and lose it like that" Spencer said.

"Could we, could we please just breathe for a second" Spencer asked. "No, we have video of four people who could've killed Alison okay they were in her bedroom the night she died" Hanna said.

"Can't we get in trouble for withdrawing evidence" Hanna asked. "I think you mean withholding" Aria said.

"Guys try to remember the last time we all thought someone was A it ended up backfiring on us" Ava said.

"Look Ava and Spencer's right we've jumped the gun before and we've gone to the cops" Aria said.

"And we ended up looking guilty" Emily said. "Yeah and they already think that we stole something from the morgue I don't think that we should give this to them look I know that I'm asking a lot but I think that I might have a way to find out more" Spencer said.

"So can you guys just give me a chance to get into this" Spencer asked. "Okay" Aria said.

"So, your first father dance you excited" Toby asked Ava.

"I guess as excited as I can be for a first dance well technically first anyways especially with a dad who cares about you" Ava said. "I'm glad your happy Avs" Toby said.

"Thanks big bro" Ava said. "Always" Toby said. "But just so you know you deserve to be happy too" Ava said and Toby smiled.

Ava and Mike were on his bed making out before the dance tonight. When Ava pulled away and looked at Mike. "What something wrong" Mike asked.

"You shaved" Ava said. "Yeah so" Mike asked and Ava playfully smacked him. "Come on you know I thought you looked hot that way" Ava said.

"Your seriously upset that I shaved" Mike asked. "Yes" Ava said and Mike smiled shaking his head.

"Stop smiling it's contagious" Ava said. "I can't your too adorable" Mine said.

Ava smiled back at him and gave him a quick kiss. "I should go I'll see you later" Ava said. "Oh right first dance with the new dad" Mike said.

"Yes an actual dad who loves me imagine that" Ava said and kissed Mike once more. "I love you" Ava said. "I love you too" Mike said and Ava left.

Ava and Jason were dancing together at the father daughter dance. "You mind if we get a picture together before we leave" Jason asked.

(I do not own picture)

"Yeah sure that sounds great" Ava said. Ava looked over and saw Hanna motioning her over.

"Do you mind if i uh" Ava asked and Jason saw Hanna. "Go ahead I'm gonna go get a drink" Jason said and left. Ava went out in the hall followed by Aria and they went to Hanna.

"Hanna what's going on" Aria asked. "Where's your dress" Mona asked Hanna coming over.

"Where's your mom" Spencer asked coming over with Emily. "Hot on the A trail" Hanna said.

"What" Ava said. "Um what does that mean exactly" Mona asked. "It means she found the police report that A sent you and she thinks it was sent to me she gave it to Wilden" Hanna said.

"Why" Spencer asked. "Because she thinks it's a threat" Hanna said. "It is" Emily said. "Or else A wouldn't have sent it" Ava said.

"And I don't know she's just trying to keep us safe" Hanna said. "Yeah but why Wilden" Spencer asked.

"Hanna now your mom and my mom are both asking questions about A and A really doesn't like that if they talk to each other" Aria said. "Or if Wilden comes up with something" Hanna said.

"I mean what if they end up like" Hanna started to ask when she was interrupted. "Let's not go there yet" Ava said.

"Um okay we need a creative solution" Spencer said. "Well, I have an idea" Mona said. "Okay Mona" Spencer said. "It's gonna require a really big lie and I'm terrible at that" Mona said.

"Which one of you girls is best at hiding the truth from someone who's close to you" Mona asked.

"Her" Spencer, Hanna, Ava, and Emily said motioning to Aria. "Wow really thanks guys" Aria said.

"Should I remind you of a certain one" Ava asked. "No, no I get it" Aria said and faced Mona. "Okay Mona what's my lie" Aria asked.

Ava and Jason smiled while the photographer took their picture before they went back to dancing together. "I think that's a keeper" Ava said.

"I think you're right might even have it framed as long as I have one for my wallet too" Jason said and Ava smiled.

"Of course" Ava said. "You smile like me" Jason said smiling. "Ever notice that" Jason asked. "No, no I haven't" Ava said.

"Well believe me you do but if it's possible I think it looks better on you" Jason said and Ava smiled.

After the dance Ava and Jason went home and Ava sat on her bed when she decided to call Mike.

"Hey my beautiful girl" Mike said over the phone. "Hey" Ava said back to him. "How was the dance" Mike asked.

"It wasn't what I expected but it was great" Ava said. "Good that's great" Mike said. "Yeah it is" Ava said. "I just wanted to hear your voice before I headed to bed" Ava said and Mike smiled.

"Well whenever you need to hear me in order to fall asleep call and I'll help the best I can" Mike said. "I know and I will night" Ava said. "Night" Mike said and Ava hung up.

"Wait Spence stop right here" Aria said once they reached the building. "I think this is the block" Aria said. Emily, Aria, Ava, Spencer, and Hanna all got out of the car seeing the building.

"This place really well better than nothing" Ava said. "Welcome to Brookhaven" Hanna said.

"What did Jonah say to you exactly" Emily asked. "That Vivian Darkbloom's friend Alison was receiving texts from more than one number" Aria said.

"Wait so does this mean that Melissa was telling Spencer the truth" Hanna asked.

"Just means that she's getting texts from more than one number" Aria said. "So there was someone else like the real A" Hanna said.

"Then this means Melissa is innocent well ish" Ava said. "Spence you were right" Emily said.

"Where exactly are we headed" Emily asked. "I don't know Jonah said he couldn't find a specific address or where the texts were coming from but that they originated somewhere in a block radius from here" Aria said.

"Do we have any idea what we're supposed to be looking for" Spencer asked. "Well I'm looking for a new phone" Hanna said.

"Guys" Aria said seeing something and Ava, Hanna, Emily, and Spencer followed her. "Oh my god" Emily said. "Creepy baby alert" Ava said.

"Those look exactly like those creepy chucky dolls that A sent us" Emily said. "I'm freezing" Aria said. "I've got something in the back of my car" Spencer said giving Aria the keys.

"Thanks" Aria said going to the car. "I used to like dolls" Hanna said.

"I think we all did" Ava said. "I'm over it" Spencer said. "Me too" Emily said.
