Hi! This is my first ever FanFic! It's a Pretty Little Liars and Emison FanFic and I hope you guys like it! I started writing it while I was on my 3 1/2 canoe trip in Canada during the last weeks of July and the first weeks of August and I'm just now writing it all down and posting it! I will say that many of the ideas I had planned out in my head have escaped me, so bear with me, this may take a while! But I hope you will all be patient with me! I hope you enjoy! - Munro McLaren ❤️

"Has anyone noticed anything different about Emily?" Hanna asked as she sat down at the girls usual lunch table in the Rosewood High's courtyard.

"Yeah I have." Alison said.

"Now that you mention it, I have too." Spencer agreed.

"Me too." Aria responds.

"Yeah she's been looking at her phone constantly and sometimes she pales while checking it." Hanna told them.

"You guys don't think it's -A do you?" Alison asked them in a hushed whisper. The girls looked at each other automatically, almost like they knew what the other was thinking.

"If it is -A, don't you think Emily would tell us?" Aria asked them. The girls shared another look.

"She wouldn't tell us something if it would endanger us or if she's hiding something. Both are very likely." Spencer reasons.

"Then let's follow her after school. I heard her on the phone earlier talking to someone telling them to meet her at an abandoned warehouse in the outskirts of town. We can follow her there." Hanna tells the others, laying out a plan.

"Okay but can we tell—oh hey Emily." Spencer says quickly cutting herself off on what she was about to ask, exchanging a few quick glances to the other girls.

"Hey guys!" Emily greets them.

"Hey Emily." They all reply.

" I was just going to stop by and say hi to you guys. I can't stay for lunch. I have a meeting to get to that I can't miss! More important then the test I'm supposed to be studying for!" Emily laughs. The others laughing along also, albeit a little nervously. "Anyways, what were you all just talking about?" Emily asks. Hanna just shrugs not trusting herself to talk in case she blurted out what they were going to do. Emily narrows her eyes at her, she then just shakes her head and says, "Well, I have to uh...head out, yeah." Emily says looking at her phone more then once.

"Well we won't keep you waiting." Aria says, glancing inconspicuously at the other girls.

"Okay, thanks guys! Please tell Mrs. Burke that I had an appointment!" Emily says.

"Sure thing!" Alison responds back. Emily leaves their table, heading towards the doors and then takes a right heading towards the front doors of the school, the girls watching her until she was out of sight. Once she was out of sigh, they all turned around and looked at each other. Spencer broke the silence saying, "Well, I guess Mrs. Burke will have to just have to wait. We need to follow Emily. Let's go!" The other girls acknowledge Spencer will a quick nod of their heads. They all gather their belongings and hurry to Spencer's SUV, courtesy of her parents, not wanting to lose Emily. Spencer's SUV fit 8 comfortably, so with only the four girls, it was very spacious and allowed for plenty of leg room. The SUV also had a built in GPS and everything. Very useful when you had a crazy stalker named -A after you. The girls all piled into the SUV. Spencer was up front driving, Aria in the passenger seat and Alison and Hanna in the back seats. Spencer put the keys into the ignition and started the car. She drove out of the parking lot and onto the main road like she in the Fast and Furious.

"Jeez Spencer, if I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to show Paul Walker up!" Hanna teased.

"At least I'm not as bad as your grandma! She almost killed us going around that corner! I'm pretty sure only two wheels were on the ground when we took the corner!" Spencer exclaimed back.

"Hey that was one time. She even tried flirting with the police officer who pulled her over!" Hanna laughed remembering how her grandma had teed to flirt her way out of receiving a speeding ticket. It didn't work.

"Your grandma sure is something else." Alison said, laughing along with the others. After laughing and reminiscing the time where Hanna's grandmas almost killed them all, they sat in a comfortable silence. Spencer could just make out Emily's silver Audi. Spencer followed Emily's car down the main road. As they were driving, all the girls had the same question bouncing around into their heads. What was Emily hiding? They hoped that as they followed Emily, their questions would get answered.

30 minutes later

"How much longer until we get there?" Hanna whined. Spencer gripped the steering wheel tighter, her knuckles turning white in the process.

"I don't know Hanna! Why don't you call Emily and ask her, considering WE'RE THE ONES FOLLOWING HER!" Spencer snapped back through gritted teeth.

"Okay jeez, I was just asking a damn question! Calm you tits Spencer." Hanna quipped back.

"Okay everybody needs to take a deep breath," Aria instructed, trying to ease the tension that was almost palpable in the car, "we don't need to get stressed. We really to be relaxed because whatever Emily is hiding is obviously big, considering the fact that we're following her to find out what it is. And we can't be stressed out when we learn what it is. It wouldn't do us any good." Aria said softly but firmly. Aria always knew the right thing to say at just the right time. She was like the peace keeper of the group and would calm everyone down when everyone was getting stressed out and on each other's nerves. With out her, it would be like World War III between the other girls with them arguing over the stupidest things you can imagine.

"Aria is right. Whatever Emily is hiding is important. She's been avoiding all of us like we're the plague. I really don't want to blow up at her because I'm too stressed when she won't even be the cause of it." Alison replied, knowing how sensitive her mermaid was. Just thinking about what secret Emily could be hiding from them was making Alison's heart clinch. She really cared for Emily and she was praying that whatever Emily is hiding is not anything serious. She doesn't know what she would do without her Killer.

"Well then, I'm sorry Hanna for blowing up at you, I'm just scared about what Emily is keeping from all of us. And so to answer you question Hanna, I don't know how much longer until we get there, but I'm sure we'll get there shortly." Spencer says.

"I'm sorry too Spence, I should have realized that you have no way in telling if we're almost there because we don't know." Hanna apologizes back.

"It's okay. We're all a little stressed because of the -A situation and now not knowing what Emily is hiding from us, and we all just need to relax." Spencer answered back. The girls then fell into another comfortable silence and looked out the windows, with the exception of Spencer who was driving, at the scenery passing by.
