9:30 pm: Hannah Grace and Mamrie are getting ready at Hannah's new house for one of Tyler's house parties. A frustrated Hannah with extremely crooked eyeliner stomps into her room where the other two are getting dressed.
"I hate this." She says holding up her eyeliner.

Trying to hold in her laughter, Grace grabs Hannah's hand and sit her on the bed.

"Hey uh what happened to your shirt kiddo?" Mamrie says busting out laughing.

"I got frustrated and sweaty trying to make this shit go on even so I took it off."

"Oh... It's okay I'll fix it. Just stay still." Grace says taking the eyeliner from Hannah's hand.

Grace put her left hand on the back of the short ones head and neck to keep her still.

"Alright you're set. Now go get dressed, we are going to be late."

"Fashionably late!!!" Hannah yells, strutting to her closet.

Grace and Mamrie just smile and roll their eyes at Hannah's comment.

She comes downstairs wearing a pair of burgundy pants, a white button down, and loose black skinny tie. Grace is wearing be a tight yellow skirt with a black and white stripped crop top. Mamrie has on a slick patterned dress with a pair of wedges.

"WAIT I FORGOT DEODORANT!" Mamrie yells as she runs back upstairs....

The 3 wait for Chester to come pick them up. He agreed to be the designated driver since he decided to not drink for a whole month.

"He should be here any minute. Apparently he picked up a couple of people on the way."

Just then they hear a honk in the driveway and go outside to get in the car.

"Hey, so it's going to be a bit of a squeeze but everyone can fit! Someone small just needs to sit in the very back." Chester tells Grace.
She immediately looks to Hannah implying that she needs to go the the back.

"I know. I know. I'm three steps ahead of you." She replies opening the trunk door.

"Get sent to the back because you're the smallest? Yeah me too." She hears as she not so gracefully climbs over the seat from the trunk.

"Yep being small is a blessing and a.... Oh hi you're Ingrid right?"

"That's me! And you're Hannah, it's so good to meet you!"

They shake hands and are quickly squished together as Colleen's sister, Rachel, gets in the seat next to Hannah.

"Hey guys. I'm sorry I don't know how the TALLEST PERSON IN THE GROUP gets forced into the back." She says into Colleens ear who is sitting in front of her on Joshua's lap.

Hannah can tell Ingrid isuncomfortably squished into the window.
"Hey um, I know we just met and all but you're welcome to sit on my lap. Tyler only lives about 10 minutes away."
She says to the beautiful brunette next to her.

"Um. Okay if you don't mind! I'm sorry!!!"

Ingrid puts her hand on Hannah's shoulder and props herself onto her lap. She is wearing a short black skirt with a greenish crop top.
Just then the car lurches backward and Ingrid flies forward. Hannah grabs Ingrid's bare waist to stable her but immediately lets go because she doesn't want to make Ingrid uncomfortable.

Hannah knows that she just came out and probably has girls falling at her feet to be with her.

"Really don't worry about it. Thank you!" Ingrid says in her ear so she can hear her over the music.

After hearing this Hannah places her hand back on Ingrid's waist to secure her from flying forward again. Also because... well... how could she not with this beautiful woman sitting on her lap. Ingrid looks toward Hannah and smirks while biting her lower lip.

The two make small talk together about their YouTube channels, traveling, waffles, and coming out.

Ingrid: "It's been hard, but good. I have had so much love and support from the community and my friends. I am just so thankful."

Han: "That's so great. You always hear the cliche 'it gets better' but it really does as time goes on. Congratulations for being brave enough to do that."

Ingrid: "Thank you. That really means a lot coming from you. I watched your whole coming out series and that really helped me through this whole process."

Han: "Well I'm glad I could help! If you ever want to talk more about it you could totally come over sometime and hang out."

Ing: "I would love that! Here put your number in my phone and I'll text you come time this week."

"HEREEEEEE" Chester yells from the front seat.

Everyone piles out of the car and heads inside.

Han: "Wanna have a drink when we get inside."

Ingrid smiles and nods as they walk inside together.
