Indiana was laying in her bed on her phone, scrolling through Instagram, when Gabriel walked into her room and sat at the foot of the bed. "Ana, I have a dinner with the cast, do you want to go with me?" He asked her.

Confused, she rolled over to face him, "The cast? The Last of Us cast?"

"Yeah, wanna come?" He asked her again.

Indiana thought about it for a second, then sat up and finally answered her dad's question. "Um, sure, when are you leaving?"

"Well, I wanted to leave in 10, but I am assuming you aren't going to want to wear your pajamas to dinner at a restaurant. Can you be ready in 20?" She furrowed her eyebrows at him, "30?"

Indiana's face softened, then she nodded. Gabriel left her room as she got out of bed and walked to her closet.

When she saw all her clothes, she let out a frustrated sigh. Even with all the many choices that she had, she didn't like any of them.

She skimmed through the hanging clothes, then pulled out a purple Nike sweater.

Indiana threw the sweater on, then put on a pair of jeans she found on her floor.

She looked at herself in her mirror, then walked into her bathroom. She put her hair in a low ponytail and she pulled out some of the front pieces. Then she grabbed her makeup bag and started doing her makeup.

When she finished her makeup, she grabbed a pair of white Converse and went down to the kitchen where her dad was waiting for her on his phone.

He looked up from his phone and his jaw dropped, "Who are you?"

Indiana gave him an annoyed look and ignored his remark. She walked past him, smacking his shoulder lightly.

Gabriel laughed and stood up, following Indiana into the garage, "I just mean that my daughter could never get ready that fast."

"Whatever, come on, we are gonna be late." She said back to him as she climbed into the car. 

———

Indiana was right, they were late. Gabriel realized halfway through the drive that he forgot his phone, so they had to turn around to get it.

When they walked into the restaurant, everyone else was standing in the waiting area. They greeted everyone then the hostess took them back to their table.

As they were walking back, Nico Parker ran to Indiana and grabbed her arm. "You're Indiana, right? I love your hair!" She told her.

"Oh my god, thank you! And please just call me Ana." Indiana said back to her with a smile.

"Okay Ana, I'm Nico, this is Storm. We are so excited to meet you." Nico told her with lots of excitement.

Indiana smiled, "It's nice to meet you guys too." She looked at Storm and noticed the necklaces she was wearing, "I love your necklaces, where did you get them?"

———

Indiana, Nico, and Storm all talked and laughed the entire time they were in the restaurant. And when everyone was finished and ready to go, they stopped outside to exchange numbers.

When they were done, Indiana climbed into the driver's seat of the car with her drunk dad in the passenger. They drove home, then Indiana helped her dad to his bed.

When she was done, she went into her bedroom and sat in her bed, took out her phone, and saw a new message.

Unknown Number
Hey, is this Ana?

Indiana
Um, yeah. Who is this??

Unknown Number
Good, I got the right number.
It's Pedro.
From your dad's work.

Indiana was relieved to see that it was someone she knew and not some random person that got her number.

Indiana
Oh, hi Pedro! You scared me for a second.

Pedro Pascal
Oh, I'm sorry.

Indiana
No, you're good!
How did you get my number?

Pedro Pascal
I got it from Nico.
I thought it would be good to have your number in case your dad isn't answering, you know?

When Indiana read that message, she couldn't help but feel a little bit sad about the fact that he got her number so he could contact her dad. But little did she know, he really got it because he wanted to talk to her.
Indiana
Oh yeah, he tends to do that a lot.

Pedro Pascal
haha, yeah.
Anyways, I wanted to let you know that I loved your outfit tonight. Purple is my favorite color.

Indiana
Oh, thank you, Pedro! I liked yours too, the design was really cool.

Pedro Pascal
Thanks, Ana.

Indiana and Pedro texted for a little while longer, asking each other questions and telling each other jokes until Pedro told Indiana that he had to be on set early tomorrow.

They said goodnight, then Indiana sat in her bed, staring at the ceiling, with butterflies in her stomach.
