Love interests may come and go in Rosewood, but Pretty Little Liars' greatest strength comes not from romance, but rather from friendship — particularly the ones that exist between the Liars themselves. No one has been through more drama together than these girls and in many ways it's brought them closer than ever. But just like with any group of friends, some members prove to share a closer bond than others, and if I had to pick one relationship that stands out above the rest, it would be the friendship that exists between Pretty Little Liars' Spencer Hastings and Aria Montgomery. While I'll always agree that all four of these ladies are strongest together, there's no denying that Team Sparia can be an unstoppable force all on their own and has produced some truly amazing moments throughout the series.
From witty retorts to shrewd detective skills, Troian Bellisario and Lucy Hale make for a pretty little dynamic duo that has filled our hearts with joy time and time again. In fact, I'd even go out on a limb and say that they could very well be PLL's ultimate OTP. Because really, what is Rosewood without Team Sparia? But in case you don't feel comfortable just taking my word for it, here are some of the best Spencer and Aria moments that prove that this friendship is unlike any other.
1. When They Proved That Size Doesn't Matter
Sometimes great things come in small packages.
