"Do we really believe that Jenna was off in a joyride that night" Aria asked. "Or it was her plan to take Emily to Ali's grave all along" Spencer said.

"And try to blame us for Ali's missing body" Ava said. "Seemed to me like she was scared of someone" Emily said.

"And it seemed like she was blind for five months when she wasn't" Aria said. "Touché" Ava said.

"For purposes of my head not exploding could we just say that she is telling the truth" Hanna asked. "Well, that would mean that we would cross her off the new A list" Spencer said.

"Then who's still on it" Aria asked. "Lucas" Emily asked. "No way he might be a little unhinged lately but he's not capable of digging up a grave" Hanna said.

"Guys all roads lead back to the black swan we know that she was working with Mona the sketches were in her lair" Spencer said.

"Spencer mom wants to know if you want anything else" Melissa said.

"Uh no thank you mom" Spencer said. "Ava, you want anything my treat you are my niece after all" Melissa said.

"No, I'm good thanks though" Ava said and Melissa nodded. "Melissa looks great" Spencer said. "Yeah, she's back to being size too skinny" Hanna said and they all looked at all.

"Black Swan skinny think about it we know that she lied about when she lost her baby" Hanna said. "Whoa back up" Spencer said.

"You think that she was pretending to be pregnant for that long" Aria said. "No that's like months there's no way she wouldn't do that to my parents" Spencer said.

"Who else could it be" Emily asked. "Mona started talking again so maybe she can give me some answers" Hanna said.

"Hey what is my dad doing here" Ava asked once Jason walked in.

"Did you really think you could avoid me forever" Jason asked once he made his way to Veronica.

"How could you defend Garrett" Jason asked. "Let's not have this conversation here" Veronica said. "Oh, it doesn't bother you that he murdered my sister also known as Ava's aunt" Jason said.

"Look I understand you're upset but this isn't the place" Veronica said. "Just tell me why you're doing it" Jason said.

"Everyone deserves a competent legal defense" Veronica said.

"You sure that's the only reason" Jason asked. "Let the process play out Jason focus on taking care of your family, of your daughter Veronica said looking at Ava.

"Of yourself" Veronica added. "Don't worry I am" Jason said and left with Ava going after him with Spencer. "Jason are you okay" Spencer asked.

"No but I will be" Jason said. "Do you need a ride home" Jason asked Ava. "No" Ava said, and Jason nodded.

No matter how upset Jason was Ava was his weak spot he knew that if she told him to drop it, he would for her cause she is all that matters to him.

"Okay will I see you at the house or is it another week" Jason asked.

"No, I'll have Spencer drop me off there" Ava said and Jason nodded and left. Aria, Hanna, and Emily caught up to Ava and Spencer and saw the lost sign of Alison.

All their phones beeped and they looked seeing a message. "Imagine what I could do with 50 grand - A" Spencer said reading the text.

>>>

"Hello Jason, I'm here" Ava said walking through the door. "In the kitchen" Jason said and Ava went to him.

"Oh hey" Ava said and sat next to him. "Did you eat " Jason asked. "If not, I can make something, or we can go get something whatever you want" Jason said.

"No, no I ate it's fine" Ava said and Jason nodded. "Hey, we'll get justice okay it just might take some time" Ava told Jason.

"I know" Jason said and held her hand. "Hey, you'll always have me okay we might have lost Ali and I miss her so much and I know you do too, but you'll always have me I'm not going anywhere okay you won't lose me I promise" Ava said.

"Good cause I love you my little girl and I can't imagine not having you in my life" Jason said.

"I love you too" Ava said and smiled before laying her head on his shoulder. Jason smiled at her before kissing her forehead.

>>>

"Not only did my dad get a new haircut but he's also wearing a new aftershave" Aria said.

"Sounds like he's got a date to me" Hanna said. "Why else would be buy new aftershave" Ava said. "He smells like baby wipes" Aria said.

"Does your mom know" Hanna asked. "No, it's one thing to say he's going out on a date it's another to say that it's with Meredith" Aria said.

"I still can't believe he's going out with the girl he cheated on his wife with" Ava said.

"It's better she hears it from you than someone else" Hanna told Aria. "Good luck" Ava said and left.

>>>

Ava went to her locker to get her books when she opened it and saw a piece of paper.

Looking around Ava picked it up and recognized it immediately. Quickly she put it in her bag when her phone went off.

She pulled out her phone seeing there was a message.

"My sweet Avs you know better than anyone that your secrets always catch up to you - A" the message said.

>>>

Ava was with Mike sitting between his legs while he played his game. When Mike noticed she was being quiet and paused the game.

"Hey, you okay" Mike asked Ava. "What yeah I'm fine" Ava said. "Ava" Mike said, and Ava turned around and faced him.

"I'm fine I promise" Ava said. "Then why are you so quiet" Mike asked.

"Just have a lot on my mind but I'm okay I promise" Ava said.

"Okay" Mike said and pulled her to sit back between his legs. Mike continued the game and gave Ava a kiss on the forehead.

>>>

"Every couple fights you both just need a little time to cool off" Aria said.

"Caleb's not gonna be cooling off anytime soon he doesn't understand why I need to see Mona and it's killing me not to tell him" Hanna said.

"Maybe you should" Aria said. "Maybe I should what" Hanna asked. "Tell him why you're going there and about this A" Aria said. "Wait are you serious" Hanna asked.

"Sounds like she is" Ava said. "Look if it were me, I would tell Ezra about A I'd have to" Aria said.

"Ava" Hanna said. "I agree with Aria tell him it's okay he needs to know" Ava said. Hanna sighed before she looked over and saw what was on Aria's laptop.

"Why are you looking at pictures of bald fat men" Hanna asked. "I'm looking for a guy for my mom" Aria said and pulled up a profile.

"I don't know I just thought she could try online dating" Aria said and went to the next profile.

"She's divorced she's not desperate" Hanna said. "Okay ew not him" Ava said seeing the guy on screen. "You didn't tell your mom about your dad and Meredith did you" Hanna asked Aria.

"I just thought that it would be easier for her to hear if she had already met someone else" Aria said.

"Look alright your mom's a catch okay she can meet someone in person she doesn't have to do it online" Hanna said.

"Your mom is an amazing woman any guy be lucky to have her but not that guy" Ava said seeing a guy on screen. "Hey girls" Ashley said going to the kitchen and Hanna closed the laptop.

"Hey mom" Hanna said. "Hi" Aria and Ava said. "Okay what don't you want me to see" Ashley asked. "Nothing" Hanna said.

"No more secrets remember" Ashley said going over to Aria and Ava. Aria opened the laptop back up. "Should I be worried" Ashley asked seeing a guy on the screen.

"I'm trying to find a guy for my mom" Aria said. "Yeah, preferably someone who doesn't look like a grape" Hanna said and Aria went to the next profile.

"He's cute sort of" Ashley said. "Are we seeing the same person" Ava asked. "Mom, he has a unibrow" Hanna said.

"Tell your mom to use MainLineMate it's a much better site" Ashley said and left.

Aria quickly went to the website Ashley suggested. "Sounds like she's speaking from experience" Ava said.

"Gourmet chef" Hanna asked seeing what Aria put in. "What she is in my house" Aria said.

"She is an amazing cook" Ava said. "Athletic, Aria does your mom even own a pair of sneakers" Hanna asked.

"Okay everybody exaggerates on this thing I read it in cosmo sit down help me figure out a username" Aria said. Hanna sat down next to Ava.

"Are we even sure your mom is up to online dating" Ava asked. "Oh, how about RosewoodGirl" Aria said. "Lame" Hanna said.

"ArtLover" Aria said. "Boring" Hanna said. "Okay do you have any suggestions" Ava asked. "Cause the ones I like you wouldn't like just based off of those suggestions" Ava said.

"I got one HotMama" Hanna said. "HotMama" Aria asked. "Mm hmm" Hanna said.

"I'm trying to get my mom date with a man not a frat boy" Aria said. "Trust me Aria this is going to work" Hanna said getting up and typed in the username. "HotMama" Hanna said typing it.

Mike and Ava were having lunch together at Ava's favorite place when Ava broke the silence.

"Did you hear about your dad and his date" Ava asked. "Little hard not to miss" Mike said. "True but still Meredith the girl he cheated on with" Ava said and Mike laughed.

"I knew you'd say something like that" Mike said. "Okay look he could date anyone, and I mean anyone, and he chooses the girl he cheated on with" Ava said.

Mike just smiled at her which Ava noticed. "What why are you smiling" Ava asked.

"Because I love you can't I smile at you" Mike asked and Ava smiled. "Always" Ava said.

"Good because I was going to regardless with or without your permission" Mike said causing Ava to shake her head before smiling.

"You know sometimes I question why I fell for you" Ava said. "Oh, please you'd die without me" Mike said.

"Shut up" Ava said and threw a fry at him causing him to laugh and Ava to smile.

>>>

"He was there with a court order to talk to her" Hanna said. "So, what do you think Mona said to Wilden" Emily asked.

"If she knows that we were at Ali's grave that night" Aria said. "We would be in jail right now" Spencer said. "Just another day in Rosewood" Ava said.

"You guys we need to find out who the black swan is like now" Hanna said. "I think we need to find out when Melissa lost her baby" Aria said.

"Yeah, she's right Spence I mean Melissa lied for a reason we need to find out what it is" Emily said and Spencer stood up.

"Yeah, but we know why Mona hated us" Spencer said.

"Why would my sister wanna torture us especially her newly discovered niece" Spencer said motioning the last part to Ava.

"Because you made out with her fiancé and broke up their engagement" Hanna said.

"Okay yeah but that was me" Spencer said. "And she knows that we have the video that puts her in Ali's room the night that she was murdered" Aria said. "And she fits the costume" Emily said.

"Spence we gotta figure out something okay she's looking suspicious you have to admit that at least" Ava said and Spencer grabbed her keys. "Going to Philly" Spencer said.

>>>

Ava, Aria, and Emily all waited for Melissa to leave and as soon as she did Hanna called Spencer. "Hello" Spencer said.

"Hey Melissa just left should we go in" Hanna asked. "No just wait I'll text you when she gets here" Spencer said. "Alright tiger that" Hanna said and hung up.

"Roger that" Aria asked. "Aren't those usually for a walkie talkie" Ava asked. "What we're on a mission" Hanna said.

>>>

"Alright you guys it's been 20 minutes we should just go in" Hanna said. "Spencer hasn't texted yet" Emily said. "She will any minute" Aria said.

"We might lose our chance by the time she does" Ava said. "Let's find out when she lost that baby" Hanna said going in the building with Aria, Hanna, Ava, and Emily following her.

Aria carefully unlocked Melissa's door and they all went in with Emily closing the door behind them.

"What exactly are we looking for" Emily asked. "Medical records anything with a date on it" Hanna said. "I'm gonna go check the bedroom" Aria said leaving.

"I'll go help her" Ava said following Aria. Few minutes later Aria and Ava went back to the living room.

"Okay there's nothing in the bedroom" Aria said. "Is this anything" Hanna asked Aria.

"Yeah, a car insurance" Aria said. "Melissa bought a pair of Chloe boots from saks last week for 900 bucks" Emily said. "Okay now those I wanna see" Aria said.

"Huh if anyone asks me what I want for my birthday someone get me those" Ava said.

"I wanna find her fake baby bump" Hanna said and Ava, Aria, and Emily looked at her.

"What aren't you curious it has to be here somewhere" Hanna said. "Something is wrong with you that's just ew" Ava said and Hanna opened Melissa's closet.

"Oh my god she's even more anal than Spencer" Hanna said. "I didn't even think that was possible" Emily said.

Hanna moved the curtains in the closet seeing more shoes. "And get it is" Aria said. "Oh my god" Emily said seeing Melissa outside. "What" Hanna said.

"Em what is it" Ava asked. "It's Melissa" Emily said. "Where" Aria asked. "Outside" Emily told her. "Put everything back" Emily said.

"What do we do" Aria asked. "Put everything back where you found it" Emily said.

They did as they were told before hiding in the closet. They saw Melissa going towards the closer and leaned more into each other. Once they were sure Melissa was gone, they got out of the closet.

"That was close" Aria said. "Yeah, way too close" Emily said. "We nearly got caught" Ava said.

"Okay let's just get out of here" Aria said. "We need to hang these up" Emily said hanging the clothes up.

"Wait you guys look" Hanna said seeing a costume. Emily grabbed it and Aria unzipped it only for it not to be the black Sean outfit. "Wait" Aria said and grabbed a feather.

>>>

"It matches the one Hanna found at the masquerade ball" Aria told Spencer. "You know what they say if the feather fits" Hanna said.

"Hanna it's the shoe if the shoe fits" Aria said. "Whatever Melissa's A" Hanna said.

"Guys I know that she looks suspicious okay but we're still just guessing" Spencer said. "Well, it's a guess I'm willing to take" Hanna said. "Me too" Aria said.

"Spencer just talk to her okay it's awful suspicious even if she's not A" Ava said. "Fine I'll go back to Philly" Spencer said.

"Mm-mm you're not going alone" Aria said. "If Melissa is who we think she is than she's dangerous" Hanna said.

"Like probably had something to do with Ali's murder dangerous" Aria said.

"She's not just trying to hurt you Spence she's after all of us" Hanna said. "Well Em gets off at 8:00 so pick her up and then we'll all go together" Spencer said.

"Okay we will you don't have to do this alone Spence" Ava said.

>>>

Ava was at home when she heard a knock on the door. She quickly went to the door and answered it seeing Caleb. "Caleb" Ava said confused.

"Hanna and I broke up" Caleb said. "What" Ava said. "And I was hoping I could stay here for a bit before I go home" Caleb said.

"Yeah, come on in I could always use the company" Ava said and Caleb went in while Ava closed the door behind him. "Are you hungry" Ava asked.

"No, I'm not but thanks" Caleb said. Ava went over to Caleb and hugged him. "I'm sorry about your breakup but hey everything will work out I promise" Ava said and Caleb stayed silent.

"You and Hanna will figure this out I know you will" Ava said.
