This story is inspired by the TV Show "Pretty Little Liars". There's still going to be gymnastics and all the characters you know but the main plot will be about four friends who are tormented by strange messages and the mystery behind the disappearance of a girl who were best friends with all four of them. There's going to be secrets and lies, forbidden relationships, people who aren't what they seem…
The story is going to partly follow all three seasons of MioBi and partly it will be completely different. It will also follow a little the story of PLL - since it's inspired by this and all -. A lot of the characters that appeared in the third season are going to be present in the story from the start. Many of the characters may appear OOC sometimes but it's all for the benefit of the story. Even the characters' background may be different from canon. For example all four girls (plus Kelly) are rich like Lauren and Kaylie are in the TV show. I think you can safely consider it an AU story.
I'm very excited about this. The idea of combining two of my favorites TV shows (MioBi and PLL) together, was on my mind for some time now but for some reason, I just couldn't seem to make it work. I think now I finally found a way to do it.
I know the prologue is a bit short but it's a prologue after all, the other chapters are going to be longer promise! This one serves only to introduce the story, hope you like it!
P.S. If you have read the first book of the Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Shepard, you're going to recognize different phrases taken directly from it. Generally though I'm going to follow the story of the TV show and not that of the books.
Characters featured in this chapter in order of appearance: Payson Keeler(played by Ayla Kell), Lauren Tanner(played by Cassie Scerbo),Kelly Parker(played by Nicole Gale Anderson), Kaylie Cruz(played by Josie Loren) and Emily Kmetko(played by Chelsea Hobbs).

Disclaimer: I will only say this once, I don't own Make it or Break it - or Pretty Little Liars for that matter- I just like to play with its characters. I don't make money by writing this story.

"Does it look like I've got everything under control?

I'm good at faking it

The ice is getting thin but I'm the only one who knows

I'm only making it up
I make it up as I go"
(Sam Tsui - Make It Up)

Prologue
HOW IT ALL STARTED
10 June 2010
"Look into my eyes

Now you're getting sleepy

Are you hypnotized,

By secrets that you're keeping?"
(The Pierces - Secret)
Payson Keeler was sitting on her best friend Kelly Parker's lawn, her pair of black jeans already stained with green, not that she really cared about those kind of things. She looked for a moment at the clear blue sky, reflecting on the events of the weekend just passed.
"You're stargazing Pay?" Lauren Tanner called from behind her, sliding through a gap in Kelly's hedges and adjusting the short denim skirt she was wearing with an hand. Lauren lived next door. She came closer to Payson, her clear lip gloss shining in the sunlight. Payson looked at her for a second, observing the orange sleeveless top paired up with the skirt she was wearing that emphasized her toned, tanned legs. Payson brushed away her long dark brown hair from her face and then closed her eyes, breathing deeply the warm, early-evening air. "Very funny Lo". Payson answered, concealing the envious thoughts running through her head. Lauren was always so effortlessly sexy.
"Ehy guys!" Exclaimed Kelly from their left, the brunette ponytail swinging with every step through the front yard. Speaking of perfect looks, the black shorts, blue top and blue flats that she was wearing, while pretty normal on everyone else, made Kelly appeared like she had just come out of a fashion magazine.
"What have I missed?" called Kaylie Cruz, descending from her stepmother's SUV Mercedes. She waved her goodbye to her, flipping her long, dark brown hair over her shoulder and reached Kelly's side. She didn't sit down because she was wearing a new pink dress and she didn't want to ruin it, so she settled for standing against a tree near them.
The last one to join them was Emily. She walked hesitantly towards them, pulling up with a hand the baggy sweatpants that were hanging on her skinny hips and took a seat beside Payson. She started playing with a strand of her short, brown hair that had escaped from her ponytail, feeling a little self-conscious. Emily was very shy and a little awkward and sometimes wondered why Kelly had included her in her little group of friends. She didn't feel particularly pretty, not she was fashionably dressed like Kaylie and Lauren were and she wasn't smart like Payson was. In addition to that, there was also the fact that, when Emily had met Kelly, she had been basically an unknown gymnast that had been allowed to become part of the Gym-Max Gymnastics Team thanks to a scholarship. She hadn't been rich like her friends were but when Kelly had entered her life, everything had changed. Her mother had married a rich surgeon who had become the father she had never had and - thanks to the support of her friend - she had gone from 'Unknown Entity' to 'Olympic Promise'. She still couldn't believe that she had won two medals at her first Senior Nationals. It seemed almost impossible that her, ordinary, little Emily Kmekto, was now one of the best gymnasts in the Country, having won two silver medals on bars and vault.
Truth to told, between the five of them, they had brought home more medals then all the other participants combined. It was incredible. Kaylie had won a silver medal on floor and a bronze medal on beam beside the bronze medal on the all around while Lauren had brought home a gold medal on beam.
Kelly had - of course - won the title of National Champion plus one gold medal on floor, a silver one on beam and a bronze one on vault but that was to be expected. Payson had brought home two gold medals on bars and vault besides the silver medal on the All Around, therefore having to settle for second place. Payson was not jealous or upset for this though. Kelly had beat her fair and square even if she had done her best to win. Payson had decided to see this defeat as an incentive to do even better the next time until she had become the number one. Payson was like that, super-focus, super-determined and not just in gymnastics. She did her best to succeed in everything she tried to do and rare was the time when she didn't succeed.
The same couldn't be said for Lauren, who – everyone knew it but no one would dare say it out loud – hated when someone was better than her at something, especially Kelly Parker, her best friend and her worst rival.
"I'm so glad this day is over. I've had enough of all those interviews. I hate reporters." Kelly exclaimed with a long, irritated sigh. She was good at charming reporters and manipulate them in asking the questions she wanted them to but that didn't mean she had to like it.
"I'm glad Nationalsare over. I won't have to worry about it for another year, thank God." Lauren commented with a relieved sigh.
"Yeah but the Pan American Championships are in November, we'll have to train hard for those." Payson said this time.
"Pay come on. Let us have these few days of relax before worrying about yet another competition that won't take place for months still." Kaylie protested this time.
The five of them had bonded four years before, during a gymnastics summer camp just an half an hour away from Boulder, and were inseparable ever since. Whether or not Kelly knew the other four, the four of them knew about her. She was perfect. She was beautiful, witty, smart. Popular. Boys wanted to kiss Kelly and girls – even older ones – wanted to be her. So the first time she laughed at one of Emily's jokes, told Kaylie how much she liked her new top, shared her opinion about boys with Lauren or compliment Payson's new bars routine, they just couldn't help but being dazzled by her. Now four years later, they weren't just best friends, they were the It Girls of gymnastics. A lot had happened to make it that way. First of all, their parents had opened a brand new gym just for them, there in Boulder, transforming an old warehouse into a top ranked facility with the best equipment money could buy. And hiring the best coach available at the present time. Their new gym – the Rocky Mountain Gymnastics Training Center – commonly called The Rock – was now the best gymnastics club in the Country and the five of them – the Rock Rebels as they were called because of their gym – were the five best gymnasts in the Country. And everyone who was somebody in the gymnastics World was absolutely convinced that the five of them would represent the next Olympic team in 2012.
Everything that had happened in those four years, from gymnastics competitions to sleepovers, had been memorable. But there were other things too that they wanted to forget. One secret in particular that they couldn't bear to think about, much less talk about. A terrible secret that Kelly had forbid them to even think about.
Kelly said that secrets were what bonded together the five of them. If that was true, they were going to be friends for life.
"So, what are we going to do tonight to celebrate?" Kelly asked with a smirk.
"Why not go to the summer camp when we first met? We spend the night there, around the fire, inside sleeping bags, telling each other scary stories and stuff…." Kaylie proposed.
"Great idea Kaylie." Approved immediately Kelly and Kaylie smiled at her with a blush. "Best start getting ready now then. We meet again here in an hour okay?" The other nodded and they scattered away to get ready for the evening.

Not even half an hour away from Boulder, a little town close to Denver, in Colorado, there was a place that in the summer was used as a gymnastics camp. Talented young gymnasts – both boys and girls of different age - from 8 to 14 years old – went there for three intense months, hoping to be noticed by some star coach and really begin a career in the difficult world of professional gymnastics. Now though, the summer had barely began and the camp wasn't opened yet. This little inconvenience though didn't stopped in the least the five sixteen-year-old girls who had parked their car just in front of the big gate and simply climbed over it. Armed with sleeping bags, marshmallows and a red handheld radio, the young, pretty girls settled themselves around a fire, sitting on big logs and they started celebrating with big, happy smiles on their faces.
Suddenly Kelly, with a smirk plastered on her face, pulled a flask out of her bag, before taking a long sip of the amber liquid inside. "To the Rock Rebels." She toasted with a look at her four best friends. The other four smiled and repeated her exclamation. Then, with a daring smile at the girl sitting next to her she exclaimed: "Come on, Pay. Drink up." Payson protested slightly but Kelly wouldn't accept No as an answer so with a long, exasperated sigh and a smile on her face, Payson took the flask from her hand and drank deeply. She grimaced at the strong taste but the burning inside her – thanks to the rum – soothed her slightly. "Take too much of that and you'll tell us all your secrets." Lauren said with a mischievous smirk on her lips. "It's exactly the secrets we share that will bond us forever." Kelly said with a more serious tone. She smiled soon after though, encouraging the others to keep drinking. Soon the flask was passed from hand to hand and in a little more than half an hour it was emptied. The five girls, more than a little tipsy now, began dancing around the fire, laughing and joking around.
When they were finally too tired to stand, they sat around the fire once again.
"So, where's your brother KP?" asked Lauren, slurring slightly her words. "I didn't see him around much lately."
"He's around somewhere, doing who knows what with who knows whom." Kelly answered with the snarky tone usually reserved for the people she didn't like. "But he's going to leave town after the summer since he'd been admitted to Columbia and all. Good riddance anyway. I won't miss him."
"Leo is leaving town?" Emily asked, her voice shaking slightly.
"Why the sudden interest in my brother Em? I know you get along with him and all but maybe you like him a little too much."
Emily paled, then denied Kelly's accusation with a shake of her head. The others were looking at the two of them alternatively, not understanding what was happening.
"So Pay, when are you going to get the courage to ask Max out? You like him since forever." Kaylie asked with a sweet smile.
"Uhm…. I… I don't know." Payson stammered, embarrassed.
"He should be the one to ask you out. Let the guy come to you." Kelly said but Payson shook her head. She was too shy and awkward around boys. "Of course I'm pretty sure he's interested in Lauren more than you if the way he was looking at her ass yesterday is anything to go by..." Kelly continued with a smirk. Payson was a little hurt by that comment but she knew it was the way of things. Lauren, Kaylie and Kelly were the ones who the boys were always interested in but for different reasons. Lauren because she had the courage to dress and behave in a provocative way. Kaylie because she had that 'girl-next-door' charm that made guys wanted to protect her or something. And Kelly because she behaved and dressed in a more mature way and guys liked that a lot. Besides Kelly was very passionate about everything she did and boys loved that too. Only Payson and Emily were the 'overlooked' ones.
"Well, too bad he's not my type at all." Lauren said amused.
"yeah, I know exactly who is your type." Kelly exclaimed with a smirk and Lauren glared at her, saying "This is not funny."
The three girls who had been left out of the conversation looked at each other awkwardly. Payson looked at her new bracelet with a frown, not having the courage to interrupt the conversation though she was curious about what was going on.
"Is that new?" Lauren asked her suddenly, obviously having noticed the vintage platinum and white gold diamond charm bracelet.
Payson looked at her with a smile. "Yes, it was a gift from my father for the medals I won at Nationals. Every charm represents something about me."
"It's beautiful" Kaylie said with a smile, coming closer to her to see it better.
"Why would you accept something that your father gave you?" Kelly asked in a snarky tone.
Payson glared at her furiously "Shut up Kelly". Kelly merely smirked at her in reply.
This kind of thing had been happening a lot lately: usually Kelly mentioned something, and someone else got upset, but everyone was too shy to ask what in the world was going on.
"Anyway, I want to try something." Kelly said with a devious smile. The other four girls exchange worried looks. Kelly's ideas weren't always the best for them.
"What?" Kaylie asked bravely. "I learned how to hypnotize people. And I want to try it on all of you." Kelly answered.
"Who taught you that?" asked Payson throwing a suspicious look her way.
"Can't say. I was sworn to secrecy. Come on, it will be fun."
"Doesn't hypnosis make you say stuff you don't want to say?" Payson argued still.
"Is there something you can't tell us?" retorted Kelly and Payson shut up at that. Kelly was always coming up with stuff for them to try but the thing was, they often didn't wantto do the things that Kelly made them do. They all loved KP to death, but they sometimes hated her too – for bossing them around and for the spell she'd cast on them. Sometimes in her presence, they didn't feel real, exactly. They felt kind of like dolls, with Kelly arranging their every move. Each of them wished that, just once, she had the strength to tell Kelly no.
"Ok, fine." Exclaimed Emily after a long pause. The others agreed soon after.
Kelly pulled some scented candles out of her bag and after lighting them quickly, she began to hum. "Okay, now you need to relax and close your eyes. Your heartbeat is slowing down. I'm going to count down from one hundred. As soon as I'm done you'll all be in my power. One hundred . . . ninety-nine . . . ninety-eight. . ."
They fell asleep without noticing and woke up only after the sun had risen on the sky. Payson was the first one to realize that someone was missing.
"Where's Kelly?" she asked, looking around her. The others shook her head, not having an answer to that question.
"Kelly, come on, it's not funny. Come out." But no matter how many times they called for her or tried searching for her, it was of no use. Kelly was gone.
