It's a couple of days later when Tatum returns home to the girls after classes at the Academy and says, "I've made a decision."

Sadie sits up and pauses the episode of Survivor they are watching. Emma and Jenna, who were cuddling together, also sit up. Mikey looks Tatum in the eyes.

"About?" Emma asks.

Tatum becomes nervous speaking in front of the girls, "About j-joining... well not joining, but... I-I can't remember how you explained it, like how you said——"

"We would go on dates?" Sadie tries to guess. Tatum nods, having the words taken from her mind. She didn't quite know how to articulate it. She wasn't sure if they even wanted her still. Over the last couple of days they didn't bring it up and Tatum thought it was because they were becoming more and more uninterested when in reality the girls didn't want to push her.

"Okay," Mikey states.

"Okay?" Tatum asks.

"We're happy," Jenna adds, "And if you find out you don't like us like that, then that's okay too."

Emma and Sadie both nod in agreement.

"Okay... so, that's it then? We are all going out on a big date together?" Tatum asks, partially confused.

"No, we'll take you out individually," Mikey explains, "Did you want to go on a date right now?"

"No! No, uh... not tonight, I just I didn't know if like, we were gonna set a schedule... or, really how any of this works... I've never been on a date."

"You've never been on a date?" Emma asks with wide eyes.

"Oh no," Jenna covers her eyes and shakes her head.

"What? D-Did I do something wrong?" Tatum stutters. Emma takes out her phone with the biggest smile on her face.

"No, you're fine. Emma just likes to plan these really elaborate dates," Sadie explains, "You have to wait, Emma. She said not tonight."

"I know! I know!" she exclaims, not looking up from her phone, "She didn't say anything about me planning in advance!"

Emma giggles excitedly and Jenna playfully rolls her eyes.

"Do you want to pick who takes you out first? Or I guess we could draw names from a hat," Mikey smiles, "Otherwise the dates could be spontaneous."

Emma looks up with a pout.

"Spontaneous when you ask her," Mikey clarifies. Emma's smile returns and she goes back to planning.

"Uh, c-can... Can I go out with Jenna first?" Tatum asks hesitantly. Jenna's eyes widen with surprise, "I'm not trying to be mean or anything, I swear, I just——"

"No, don't worry, love," Mikey stops Tatum from rambling, "We aren't offended. I'm sure Jenna would love to take you out, right?"

Jenna, who was most worried that Tatum wouldn't like her, nods vigorously with a smile, "Yeah. How about on Wednesday?"

Tatum nods, "Yeah, that's perfect."

"Do you want to join us? We're just watching Survivor," Mikey asks. Tatum hesitates. She should do homework, but that's all she's been doing. If she's not working, which she hasn't been doing a lot of at the moment, she's working on school.

"Uh, yeah," Tatum decides to give school a rest for one day. After all, it's not like she is falling behind. She's actually ahead of her homework. She looks at the available seats. Does she sit next to Sadie? Does she join Emma and Jenna? Does she sit with Mikey?
