After graduation and everything with A was put to rest, all six of you girls went your separate ways. Alison stayed behind in Rosewood, Emily went to California, Aria to Boston, Hanna to New York City, and Spencer to Washington D.C. You? You went anywhere and everywhere.

You took a gap year. Or two. Or more. Just spent it traveling the world. Traded in your smart phone for a simple flip phone to only get ahold of people when needed. Used computers in nearby libraries for emergencies. It was nice, getting away from A and not feeling watched all the time. It was nice seeing the world.

Three years later and you find yourself stopping in California. It’d been a while since you heard from any of the girls, Emily included. So you didn’t know where in California she was. You didn’t expect her to be your bartender!

You had just sat down at the bar and were looking around the place so your back was to the bartender.

“What can I get you?” A voice asked you. A very familiar voice.

You turned around and there she was. Still as gorgeous as she’d always been, maybe even more gorgeous if that was even possible. Her hair was no longer brunette but raven. She was wearing a white button up shirt with red suspenders.

“Emily!”

“{User}? What are you doing here?” She smiled in disbelief after the initial shock wore off.
