Hi guys. This is just going to be something short, only a few chapters. This idea came to me the other day and I really wanted to write it. I hope you enjoy and please review. I apologize for any typos.

Ezra Fitz sat quietly at his small desk at the front of his classroom waiting patiently for the last few students to hand in their respective tests. He had long since finished grading the stack of papers that currently occupied his desk and after several seconds of fiddling with a black ink pen, he was out of things to occupy his attention.

He dropped the pen from his grasp and let his eyes roam the classroom. As he did so he noticed a tall boy in the back of the classroom aiming a spit ball at one of his fellow students and after moving his gaze the slightest bit he caught Hanna Marin in the midst of sending a text message, that by the look on her face must've contained some interesting material. Before he knew it his dark blue orbs landed on Aria's familiar figure. He sucked in a deep breath as he took in the sight of his girl.

The two of them, despite their enormously odd predicament, had been together for nearly eight months and were still going strong. Ezra never imagined he would be in love with one of his students, but then again who ever thinks of such things. Aria was everything he ever wanted in a woman; she was smart, funny, talented, strong-willed, kind-hearted, gentle, and the most beautiful person he had ever met. And their love for one another only grew with each passing day.

A small smile formed on his lips when he realized that she was staring back at him. A much larger grin was showing on her face and he let out a soft chuckle. He didn't want to appear to be staring so he reluctantly shifted his eyes elsewhere. Just seconds later he glanced at the wall clock and noticed that there were only two minutes remaining for the hour long class period.

He stood up slowly from his seat and moved around to the front of his desk. "I hope you all have turned in your tests." He sighed. "Oh and before you go I want to remind all of you going on the weekend field trip to meet in the front of the school tomorrow at 7 A.M sharp. The bus is pulling out at 7:15 with or without you."

Ezra had decided a few months back to take a group of his students to a Pennsylvania literary museum and to see a theatrical version of "To Kill a Mockingbird" that a college four hours away was putting on. He had quickly gotten the okay from the principal and after gathering a female chaperone, Ms. Welsh had willingly volunteered herself of course, the trip was set.

When he received a series of nods from several students he decided to continue. "I can't wait to see all of your bright, smiling faces in the morning-"

Before he could say another word the familiar sound of the school bell interrupted him. "You are all dismissed." Truth be told he could care less about seeing twelve complaining teenagers for an entire weekend. But he couldn't wait to see the thirteenth.

Aria was taking part in the trip and even though it was a school excursion he was still excited to see her for an entire weekend.

As the kids piled rapidly out of the room, Ezra turned his back to the students' desks and lifted his brown messenger bag over his left shoulder. He wasn't all that surprised when a familiar voice got his attention. The sound was enough to cause him to quickly turn around.

"Hey." Aria spoke softly.

"Hey yourself." He answered with a subtle smirk.

"I just wanted to let you know that I won't be able to make it to your place tonight. Mom is insisting we have dinner as a family." Aria rolled her eyes as she attempted to mimic her mother's words. "And then I've got to finish packing for this weekend long trip you're taking us on." Aria laughed. "Which, for the record I am most definitely looking forward to."

Ezra took a moment to take a glance at his classroom door and was surprised to see that it was already secured shut. He then moved his gaze to the large window on the opposite side of the room where the blinds were already closed. A large smile appeared on his face as he moved closer to Aria and brought her into his embrace. "You closed the door? And the blinds too?"

"Of course. I couldn't risk someone barging in. I know Ms. Welsh has a habit of doing that." Aria answered as she let her head fall against Ezra's chest.

"So no dinner and a movie?" Ezra frowned.

"I'm afraid not. But at least I get to see your face bright and early."

"True, I can't wait. But just a heads up, don't expect my hair to be perfectly fixed in the morning. It tends not to want to cooperate with me on the weekends, especially at seven in the morning. "

Aria moved her head to face Ezra and let a laugh escape her lips. "Ah yes. It turns into a black mess. But I love it anyway."

Ezra smirked as he placed a gentle kiss to Aria's forehead. "Hmm. That's a good thing because I love you."

Aria pulled out of Ezra's embrace when she was interrupted by the beeping of her cell phone. She quickly pulled it out only to notice that she had received a call from Hanna. "Crap. I've got to go. I promised the girls I would meet them at the café after school. They wanted to talk about something."

When she noticed another frown appear on Ezra's face she quickly let her lips meet his in a soft kiss. "I love you too by the way."

Ezra nodded. "I know. Now get out of here you goof." He slowly let go of her hand and watched as she exited the classroom, not before turning to give him one last smile. Yes, it was a fact that Ezra Fitz could not wait for this field trip to take place.

PLLPLLPLLPLL

What felt like years' passing by was in reality only mere hours doing so, long hours none the less. Hours that neither Aria nor Ezra could manage to fall into a peaceful slumber, both looking forward to the upcoming adventure that the current weekend was sure to possess.

At 6; 45 on the dot, Ezra pulled his grey sedan into the parking lot of Rosewood High School, an action he did on a daily basis. He quickly spotted the large white charter bus parked in the corner of the parking lot, and that aside from his car it was the only vehicle sitting in the lot. He wasn't the least bit surprised that not a single student had shown up yet. They were teenagers after all.

He put the car in park and grabbed the cup of to-go coffee out of the center cup holder, quickly bringing the steaming liquid to his lips and taking a sip, letting the sounds of the radio fill his ears.

Four minutes hadn't passed when he noticed a familiar navy blue vehicle pull in next to him. A smile appeared on his face when Aria stepped out of the car carrying her large black purse in one hand and a protein bar in the other. Ezra took this moment to step out of his own car and greet her with a grin.

"Morning." He said as he greeted her with a soft kiss to the temple, careful to make sure that no one had since driven up.

"Morning babe."

"I got you a little something." He replied stepping away from her and sticking his head back into his car for a single moment.

"Oh yeah. What's that?"

He reappeared as she finished her question and stuck his gift out to her with a smile. "I had a feeling you'd show up a smidge early since this'll be just about the only time we will be able to carry out a meaningful conversation, so I ordered you a coffee too. He gestured for her to take the hot paper cup and she gladly accepted. Aria immediately took a sip and the look on her face told Ezra everything he needed to know. "Mmm. Caramel Latte, my favorite."

He grinned. "I know."

"You know me too well."

"That I do. " He answered as he let his eyes stare deep into hers. They were engrossed in that moment. It was just the two of them without a single care in the world. But as always happens the moment couldn't last long enough. The couple was broken from their trance by the sound of a group of cars making their way into the parking lot. Aria quickly spotted Spencer's white SUV and turned to cross the parking lot. But his voice stopped her.

"Aria." He spoke to where he was sure only she could hear.

"Yeah?"

"I won't get to tell you again this weekend." He closed the gap between the two and bent his head close to her right ear. "But I love you,"

Aria smiled and her face lit up. "I love you too." She whispered almost inaudibly but she knew he could hear. As she attempted for a second time to cross the small parking lot to Spencer's car, she heard him yell behind her. 'Miss Montgomery, don't forget what I said."

Aria smiled to herself. "I won't." She replied quickly. This was going to be one long weekend. A long weekend filled with concealed glances, lots of eye communication, and if they were lucky maybe a stolen kiss or two. Only if they were lucky.

By the time Aria was able to keep her attention away from Ezra long enough to walk the short distance to Spencer's car, Hanna and Emily were gathered next to it as well. Needless to say the previous glance she had given Ezra hadn't gone unnoticed by her friends.

"Uhhum." Hanna cleared her throat rather loudly. "Could you please stop staring at the man for two seconds?" She let a heavy laugh escape her lips. "We get it. The two of you are adorable but it makes the rest of us feel just a little bit jealous."

"Shut up, Hanna." Aria laughed as she took another sip of her coffee.

"Wait a minute." Spencer interrupted with a furrowed brow as she pointed a finger at the cup that sat in Aria's hands. "I know you Aria Montgomery. You do not make early morning coffee runs." Spencer shifted her gaze to her English teacher. "And considering that Mr. Fitz is holding a cup very similar to the one that is sitting in your hands, I'm guessing he brought that for you."

Aria glanced over at Ezra for a split second before nodding in reply. "He surprised me with it this morning."

"You guys are just too much." Hanna shook her head.

Emily chuckled. "Let me guess. He got you a Caramel Latte?"

Again Aria simply nodded.

"Damn." Hanna spoke after a second of silence. "Maybe I should find me a hot old man."

"Shut up, Hanna." Aria managed to spit out between giggles. "And keep your voice down." She paused. "By the way, he is definitely not an old man. "

"Whatever you say, Aria." Hanna scoffed. "You do know him better than the three of us."

The girls spent the next few minutes chatting rampantly about this, that, and everything. Conversation started with talk about the previous night's activities and it quickly shifted to confusion about a recent text from "A" that is until Mr. Fitz cleared his throat and announced that it was time to board the bus. The girls quickly stopped what they were doing, gathered their belongings, and walked the short distance to the bus.

Ezra stood at the entrance of the bus with a clipboard in hand. As each student passed by and stepped onto the bus he used a black ink pen to check their names off his list. After letting a few of the kids find their seats on the bus, he looked up to see Aria. He gave her a small nod and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Hello Miss Montgomery. It's nice to see you this morning."

"Hi. Mr. Fitz." Aria smiled while trying to transfer her purse to the opposite shoulder. Aria took a quick look at his dark blue eyes before stepping onto the large bus. Ezra's eyes followed her up the small set of stairs and it wasn't until Hanna cleared her throat that he realized he needed to turn his eyes elsewhere.

"Hi. Miss Marin."

"Mr. Fitz." She greeted with a smile. "Where's my coffee?"

Ezra quickly looked up from his clipboard and answered with a confused stare. "Excuse me?"

"Oh nothing." Hanna said turning away and following her friend onto the bus.

"Hmm." Ezra sighed shaking his head back and forth as he took note of the remaining kids in line. Just over two minutes passed by before the rest of the kids were able to get situated on the bus. Ezra finished jotting down the necessary information on his clipboard and stepped onto the bus. He let his eyes roam the bus, mentally counting the number of students on the bus,

"Get yourselves comfortable. We have quite a long ride ahead of us." Ezra spoke as he carefully sat his belongings in a front row seat directly across from the seat occupied by Ms. Welsh.

When Ezra finally got situated in the hard leather bus chair he turned his body ever so slightly in an attempt to sneak a peek at Aria. He quickly noted that she was seated next to Hanna and across from Emily and Spencer. She caught his eye and sent him a knowing smile before pulling out her cell phone and sitting it in her lap. A second later he moved his attention away from her and pulled his own flip phone out of the pocket of his jeans. He flipped it open and scrolled down his contact list until he found Aria's familiar number.

"I wish you were up here with me. I miss you already." He quickly typed before letting his finger press the send button.

Not a minute passed before his phone vibrated in his lap. "I wish I was too. And, I'm only a few feet away." He read silently.

"I know maybe this trip wasn't such a good idea. I'd rather be hanging out at my place."

Aria smiled when she read the words he wrote and quickly formulated a reply. "We'll find a way to make this work. But, I can already tell that this is going to be quite a long bus ride."

Ezra sat his phone on the chair next to him before rummaging through his brown bag and pulling out a black iPod. He untangled the white headphones and placed them softly in his ears as he searched for a decent song to listen to. He quickly found one and a smile appeared on his face.

"I just found our song on my IPod." He let his fingers type.

"Great minds think alike. I'm listening to Happiness too."

Ezra let a light chuckle escape his lips as he listened to the lyrics of the song. Halfway through the tune he brought his coffee to his lips and took another sip. He couldn't help but smile as only one thought consumed his mind; Aria. He couldn't get her out of his mind and he knew one thing for certain. He was in store for one very long, very interesting weekend field trip.

I hope you liked this bit of fluff. I hadn't planned on posting this today, but after tonight's episode and the preview for next week I felt we all needed a little bit of fluff. If you like the idea let me know and I will continue.
