Hanna was doing a bit of packing for the upcoming trip. She was most excited to be away from 'A' related things for a whole week on a whole other continent.

Of course, there had to be one last 'A' issue. She found out when Spencer called with new information.

( Wherein Spencer has a new theory. )

[establishy; phone call is nfb; from 3x11 "Single Fright Female" with dialogue tweaks]

Hanna was feeling a little less on edge right now. Her mother thankfully got Veronica Hastings to get the blood test order thrown out. For now at least. It was something.

( Wherein Hanna goes on a little adventure. )

Hanna had been mopey ever since the fight she had with Caleb. It's partly why she took her time getting back to her dorm. She didn't have any classes on Mondays anyway.

As soon as she walked into the room, she was greeted by a tiny ball of fuzz.

"I thought you'd be gone by now," Hanna sighed at the kitten staring back at her.

She noticed it was still around Friday and left out some food for it while she was gone, but she thought for sure the kitty would be gone by the time she got back.

"I'm not really a cat person," she told the kitten.

It looked back at her with big kitten eyes. "Mew."

Just like that, some of Hanna's sadness disappeared. "Fine, you can stay."

Now, she just needed to give it a name and hoped it got along with Pascal.

Hanna liked this day. There were kittens climbing all over her shoulders. Nothing at all was wrong with that. They also kept her calm in the face of a stressful situation.

[establishy exposition post, though can be open; phone call okay for broadcast, conversation not so much; season three spoilers within]

Hanna returned again to the asylum, hoping tonight would be different. She was almost certain it would be more of the same.

( She'd be surprised. )

[same warnings for creepy apply; dialogue from 3x03 "Kingdom of the Blind"]

After an unsettling visit at a sanitarium, the last place Hanna wanted to be was the creepy motel where A's lair had been. Many things led them to this place at this moment.

( Was it happening again? )

[Partially tweaked dialog from 3.01 "It Happened That Night." My canon is the creepiest ever.]

It was a holiday weekend and Emily was back from Haiti. This definitely was cause for celebration and distractions from the upcoming anniversary. It also required beverages their parents would disapprove of. What? Celebrations weren't the same if they couldn't toast it with alcohol. Who cares that it was creepy outside due to thunder and lightning. Not that it mattered. Spencer's house was perpetually creepy all on its own.

( It all started with a party... )

( ...and ended in a cemetery. )

[NFB, NFI; Warning for dark themes and serious creepiness; dialog from 3.01 "It Happened That Night."

This is the first of about ten canon catch up posts between now and Halloween, so expect some spamming ;)]

Hanna returned to Radley in the hopes that things might be different this time. She really wanted this visit to go more smoothly than the last one did. She even wore a new outfit. Not because she wanted to impress anyone. It was more from a place of anxiousness, of wanting things to be perfect.

( Wherein things would never be perfect. )

[NFB, NFI; warning for dark themes involving an asylum behind the cut; based on canon visitations like this in S3; was implied they began just prior to the premiere]
