"Camila? Open the door?" Normani greeted on the other side of the phone.

"What?" Camila asked confused, she then taps Dinah on her shoulder to get her attention.

"I'm outside and since I have no idea whether there's people inside your house or not, I'm asking you to open the door." Normani explained.

"Why are you whispering?" Camila pressed on, now making a move to stand up to first check for Normani outside their front yard.

"I don't know." Normank replied, she then looked up to the first bedroom window to see Camila's form appearing.

"Alright, I'm coming. Just hang on a second." Camila then hangs up the phone to make her way downstairs to open the door for her friend.

Once Camila finally came to a stop in front of the front door, she opened it slowly to reveal Normani standing on the other side, looking impatiently waiting for Camila.

"Okay, what's up?" Camila asked.

"You've got to help me." Normani groaned, letting herself in the house.

"With what?" Camila pressed on, locking the door securely behind them.

"Hey Mani." Dinah greeted as she made her way down the stairs and saw Normani standing in the hallway with Camila.

Normani just waved in greeting to Dinah.

"What's up with you?" Dinah asked, moving over to the last step of the stairs and leaned on the railing.

"She needs help with something." Camila explained briefly.

"It better not be connected with some plan that Lauren made up." Dinah scoffed. "Or is it?" Quirking up an eyebrow over at Normani.

"What?" Normani asked, "no, of course not." She added.

"Okay, spill then." Dinah smirked at Normani, sensing that something else is up.

"Lauren where do you want this?" Ally asked, as she shows Lauren a vase full of white roses.

"Can you please put it in the corner over there?" Lauren points towards to a spot in the corner of their backyard.

Lauren and Ally have been busy all morning trying to set up a picnic date for her and Camila later on that afternoon in the comfort of Lauren's backyard. After her parents planned on preparing dinner for the two girls formally introducing Camila to the family as Lauren's girlfriend.

"Yep, I think this looks good." Lauren breathed out once she finally finished setting up the red blanket on the grass with the picnic basket placed on one corner of it with some white rose petals scattered around the area. "We did a great job Ally." Lauren smiled.

"You are one romantic person Lauren." Ally commented, impressed by Lauren's effort. "She is well damn lucky to have you." She added.

"Thanks for helping out." Lauren opened her arms wide to hug her friend tightly, appreciating her help throughout.

"For you, I'll always help out." Ally smiled, hugging Lauren back tightly.

"Ally!" Clara greeted loudly walking pass the big glass doors in the kitchen. "I haven't seen you around lately, how have you been?" She asked, stepping outside the patio.

Ally gave Lauren a pointed look, confused as to why her mother is asking questions about Ally right now.

"I've been... umm... good..." Ally replied, pausing in between the words, trying to find the right words to describe her situation lately.
