“I’m retiring Ash…from pole dancing…I bet we are one of the few people who did it for fun huh?”

“After the competition, I’m leaving that for good…” Vanessa said

“I could care less Vanessa…” Ashley said nonchalantly…

“I’m retiring because of Max…” Vanessa reached into her purse and took out a picture of a toddler…

“Is he…”

“Yep, he’s my son…he’ll turn 3 next month…”

“Wow, I didn’t know you had a son…”

“Yeah well he’s changed me Ash, look I’m not asking you to forgive me…and if you don’t want anything from me I understand, but the money is yours… if you don’t feel that… then earn it fair and square, enter the competition with me…”

“I was already thinking of competing…” Ashley said

“Ok, well I’ll just leave you then…” Vanessa got up to leave when a hand on her wrist stopped her…

“Hey V…I have a girl 101…” Ashley said Vanessa recognized those words as their old code for when they needed advice; Vanessa smiled and sat down next to Ashley…

Madison laughed out loud, and noticed Spencer with the box Ashley dropped.

“Hey, Spencer let’s see what’s inside, maybe…there’s something that will help us find her…again…”

Madison read “Spence, this a sure shot that we’ll find the stripper there…”

“Madison, are you really only helping me to find your camera?”

Madison had brief flashback, of Aiden and her again

Madison didn’t have the chance to answer when Spencer’s phone ranged, startling both girls…

“Hello?”

“Spence, honey where are you? You should be home already…”

Spencer rolled her eyes and went to the restroom to talk…

“MOM!”

“How are you?”

“I’m fine mom…I’m not coming home yet I need to look for some things…”

“What are you looking for Spencer? You lost it didn’t you?…”

“No, mom nothing happened, it’s just…there’s 6 days till the wedding and I don’t know mom I need to get away, to think…”
