"You're representing your family" Ella said to the class. "Which one" Ava mumbled.

"Your school, and your community during these college visits translation do not use this weekend to discover beer pong you are to use this time to audit classes, tour the campus and decide if this is where you want to go" Ella said and the bell rung.

"Hey, you guys why would I dream that I mean A is about to drop the hammer on my mom" Hanna said to Ava, Spencer, Aria, and Emily.

"The only thing your dream is telling you is that you should be drinking warm milk before bed" Spencer said. "My dad's gun is missing Spencer" Hanna said.

"Yeah, and that looks really bad, but we've gone over this A has tried to frame us before" Aria said.

"No, it's not framing if you actually did it" Hanna said. "Hanna this is your mother okay she looked you in the eye told you that she didn't" Emily said.

"Han, you don't t want it to be her okay she's your mother she cared for you, okay my mother or the one who raised me is dead and the one who gave birth to me didn't want me, so I guess what I'm saying is" Ava said.

"Is there any reason why you would want it to be her" Ava asked and Ella spoke up.

"Don't you guys have a class to get to" Ella said. "Yeah, we're going" Aria said.

"You get there faster if your feet were actually moving" Ella said and left the room while the girls stood up.

"Whoa what's with your mom kinda harsh" Emily said to Aria.

"I don't know she's been acting really weird the past few days makes me wonder if A's moved on from Hanna's mom to mine" Aria said.

"Well A can multitask" Hanna said. "Especially if she has help" Ava added. "Can you guys come over after school" Hanna asked.

"I can't I have a strategy session at the brew my mom's hired a spin doctor to make me shiny and new again" Spencer said. "Sorry" Aria said to Spencer.

"It's an admissions couch she wants him to wave his magic loafer and get me into college" Spencer said as they left the classroom. "Alright I'll see you later guys" Hanna said. "Okay" Aria said.

"See you Han" Ava said and Hanna left. "How much do you think a spin doctor like that cost" Emily asked Aria and Ava.

"It's the Hastings so I'm guessing it costs more than your car" Aria said to Emily.

"Guys this isn't about money okay I mean the last thing on my mind right now is trying to sell myself with everything that happened with Melissa and Tippi being birdnapped" Spencer said.

"Don't bring up the scary singing canary okay" Ava said. "Parrot" Spencer said. "Whatever it's still a bird" Ava said.

"We don't have the bird or the beast now that Melissa's gone, we have very little to go on" Aria said.

"Well if Melissa was telling the truth about anything then we should be following the Ali trail" Spencer said.

"And that trail ends with board shorts and our only way of finding him was through Tippi's phone number" Emily said.

"I've already spent days researching that stupid number I can't find a single thread that links Wilden, Ian, or Garrett to York County" Aria said.

"I even went over to her house one day and helped still nothing" Ava said.

"Hold up" Spencer said realizing something. "Wait there's a college there I just saw it" Spencer said showing them. "Cicero, Cicero College" Spencer said.

"Is there a contact number" Aria asked. "Yeah" Spencer said and turned the page around.

"That's interesting" Aria said. "Yeah" Emily and Ava said. "What" Spencer said. "Yeah look" Aria said after looking at the paper she pulled out and shown Spencer.

"The area code and the prefix are the same" Aria said pointing to the number. "Looks like we just got a little closer" Spencer said.

"Anything new I should know about" Mike asked after giving Ava a quick kiss. 

"Nothing really at least nothing too important just a lot of college talk" Ava said. "Oh" Mike said. "So are you thinking about going" Mike asked.

"I don't know I have had a lot on my mind and on top of that I been a Cavanaugh, DiLaurentis, and a Kahn so I'm not really sure if I want to go to college especially if I'm not sure who I am" Ava said.

"Hey, I know you and if you don't want to go to college that's okay, but I know you and you're the most amazing and sweetest girlfriend I ever had I couldn't imagine my life without you" Mike said.

"Thanks Mike" Ava said and kissed kid cheek. "Hey, did you hear about my mom thinking about going with her boyfriend" Mike asked.

"Aria told us" Ava said. "You think she'll go" Mike asked.

"Not unless it's okay with both of her kids and knowing you, you told her you weren't ready for her to leave" Ava said and Mike stayed silent.

"Look Mike I know it's hard, but your mom deserves to be happy and besides she'll be back you have to let her go or she may never find love" Ava said and left.

Ava was with Mike on the couch as they watched TV together. "My dad talked to me" Mike said breaking the silence and Ava looked at him.

Aria looked at it not recognizing the number walking away some causing Ava to look at her.

"Who is this" Aria asked answering the phone. "It ain't Tippi the bird" Spencer said.

Aria looked at Ava and motioned for her to follow her outside and Ava nodded as Aria headed outside and sat on the bench. "I uh I'll be back" Ava said and went outside sitting next to Aria.

Aria saw Ava and out the phone on speaker so Ava could hear. "Okay Spencer slow down" Aria said. "It's like some kind of panic room or bunker or something" Spencer said.

"Why would the phone number lead there" Aria asked. "I don't know maybe, maybe Ali spent some time hiding out here" Spencer said.

"But someone was picking up that line Ali was not calling herself" Ava said.

"Okay but why would board shorts need to go to a sorority house to answer his phone calls" Spencer asked. "Look I have to go okay I have to go find Hanna and Emily" Spencer said.

"Hanna what is she doing there" Ava asked. "Look I've got to go bye" Spencer said and hung up.

"Guess we should get back in there" Ava said and Aria nodded. They both headed inside, and Ava sat next to Mike while Aria sat in her original spot.

"Everything okay" Mike asked Ava. "Yeah, everything's fine" Ava said and Mike nodded.
