Nagpaalam sina Lauren at Brielle na aalis sila papuntang Pamintuan Province. It's a hilly province na nasa central of Promenada. All-female ride ang gagawin nila.

Aangkas si Lauren sa Suzuki Inazuma na motor ni Brielle. They will eat first at the restaurant ni Brielle, duon sa Route 48. They rode on the motorcycle papunta sa meetup area.

"Nauna na tayo ngayon ah!" Brielle said, stepping down from the motorcycle. Sakto may naghahanda na para sa barbecue. May seats na nakareserve para sa bike gang na tinawag nilang ESC48, naming the group after the Route 48 of Escoda City. Gusto munang ipatikim ni Brielle ang special barbecue at sausages ng restaurant ni Brielle.

"Second ko palang nakapunta dito sa resto mo, Brielle. Mukhang marami kayong tinda ngayon na barbecue ah! Diba eto yung nagviral?" Lauren asked.

"Yes pinsan, eto yun." Brielle said, and she removed her helmet. She was wearing a leather jacket.

Ang mga naunang dumating ay sina Sharmaine, riding on her Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, together with Avanna on a Ducati Monster, and Shekinah riding on her Harley-Davidson Street 750.

"Eto pala yung resto mo, Brielle? Ang angas! Roadside tapos barbecue! Saktong-saktong tambayan nga ng mga bikers to!" Avanna said.

"Yes, eto yun. May mga kasama pa ba tayo?" Brielle asked.

"Oo tol. Mga tropa namin sa school." Sharmaine replied. "Nice naman ate, kasama ka namin ngayon!"

"Oo nga eh! Napasabit lang. Second time ko na itong nag longride ng tayo ang magkakasama!" Lauren smiled.

"Magmotor ka na rin kasi ate!" Shekinah said.

"Yo guys! Sensya na ngayon lang nakaout. Ma'am Brielle!" Jennifer said, riding on her brand new Benelli TNT 600.

"Guys, siya nga pala si Jennifer, isa sa mga masisipag na manager ng resto. Say hi sa kanila, Jenny! Mga tropa lahat yan!" Brielle said.

"Hi guys!" Jennifer said, giving each a fistbump.

At habang nagaantay sa mga tropa nina Sharmaine ay kumain na sila ng rib barbecue and steaks.
As the other bikers do, some are drinking beer, except for Sharmaine and Shekinah.

"Bali, sure na bang ESC48 ang pangalan ng grupo?" Avanna asked.

"Oo, permis na yun." Sharmaine replied.

Dumating ang isang tropa at classmate ni Sharmaine, si Natalie (MNL48 Frances). She's riding on a Yamaha FZ-07 motorcycle with 689cc. Si Natalie ay isa sa mga cheerleaders ng school.

"Hello po!" Natalie smiled as she removed her helmet.

"Natalie! Buti't nakarating ka! Kain ka na muna! Shot na rin!" Sharmaine said.

"Sige, salamat! Uy, ate Lauren! Nandito ka!" Natalie said, giving Lauren a fistbump.

"Nice to meet you Natalie! Paano mo pala ako nakilala?" Lauren asked.

"Schoolmate po tayo! Classmate ko po si Sharmaine!" Natalie replied.

"Ay, sorry! Ang dami kasing students sa school, di ko kilala lahat. Nice naman na kilala mo ako!" Lauren smiled.
