 Before the night was over, the girls had selected outfits for the concert. She would open with a pale pink skirt and a white blouse, and play some of her softer songs. Then she would switch to a pair of black jeans and a purple asymmetrical top made of tulle for the harder songs, and when she played her harder hitting songs at the end, she would wear the bronze dress. If she decided to do an encore, she had a sweatshirt of her merch and a jean skirt picked out. It was perfect.

"Thank you, Jennie. This is perfect, really," Rosie said, giving Jennie a hug.

"No problem, Rosie. I really appreciate your help with my company," Jennie said back.

The girls embraced for a moment before pulling away. Rosie had just thought of an idea for how they could all get to spend a little bit more time together tonight, seeing as they would probably be too busy the rest of the week to do so.

"Why don't we go out for ice cream? I'll call Lisa," Rosie said, and Jennie and Jisoo nodded excitedly.

"That sounds great," Jennie said. Rosie dialed Lisa's number and waited for her to pick up.

"Hello?" She said, and Rosie laughed.

"Hi, Lisa. Do you want to go out for ice cream with Jennie, Jisoo, and I?" She blurted out, suddenly more nervous than she had been five seconds ago. She had been planning to play it cool, but she knew she wasn't very good at that. It was probably for the best that she hadn't tried that.

"That sounds great. I'll see you at eight thirty?" Lisa said, and Rosie glanced at her watch. It was eight o'clock now.

"Sure! Where at?"

"Meet me outside Jennie's. I know a place."

Lisa was thrown into a panic. She was trying her hardest to stay calm, but she was wearing a pair of sweatpants with her hair in a messy bun and no makeup on. She was not date-ready.

She first threw on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. It was pretty basic, so she added a flannel on top, and thew on a pair of heels. Then she did some basic makeup, but not a lot, because it was already 8:10, and finally she put her hair up into space buns. She looked in the mirror and sighed. She looked like an egg.

Isn't that something that everyone worries about? Lisa would be fine. She ironed her bangs and sprayed them with hairspray, and grabbed her favorite Celine purse as she ran out the door.

Lisa got in her convertible and headed towards the address Jennie had told her that her pop-up shop was at. At a later date, Lisa would have to browse, but currently she was going on a second date-ish thing? Was it a second date if it was with two friends who were not dating as well?

Lisa pulled to the side of the road and waved at the girls, who climbed into the car. Rosie and Jennie bumped into each other as they both tried to get into the front seat, but eventually Rosie yielded and slid into the back with Jisoo.

"Wow, Jennie, miss me much?" Lisa said with a laugh, looking back at Rosie.

"It's been two months!" She said, and Lisa saw Rosie start to fidget with her hands. She knew that that was Rosie's nervous habit- Lisa had watched just about every interview ever with Roseanne Park in it over the years. The fact that she felt like she already knew Rosie was weird to her, because it was hard to be getting to know someone like this that she already felt as though she knew so well. Rosie wasn't different in real life, not really, but Lisa knew that the image she presented was different from who she really was. Lisa knew that firsthand because she herself was a public figure, as much as she liked to forget about it. Lisa would be the Queen of Thailand one day.

"That's a fair point. But isn't this technically my second date with Rosie?" she said, and Jennie shrugged.

"She can sit shotgun on the way back," Jennie conceded.

"Sounds good to me," Rosie said with a laugh. Jisoo was playing a game on her phone.

"What are you playing, Jisoo?" Jennie asked.

"Minecraft," She said, and everyone laughed.

"That's what you do on set all day, right?" Rosie said, and JIsoo laughed.

"That, and pull pranks."

"Didn't you dump slime all over your coworker on your last k-drama?" Jennie asked, and everyone laughed. They had all seen the video, of course. Jisoo dumping slime all over a world famous actor was pretty hard to miss, especially seeing as it was Twitter's favorite subject for all of two weeks.

"We're here!" Lisa said, parking at a mochi place.

"Mochi?" Jisoo said excitedly, practically leaping over Rosie to get out of the car.

The girls walked in to the Kanemochi Cafe and were wowed with the selection of flavors. They all ordered and went and sat outside at a table towards the back, where they were hidden from the road and most of the other patrons. They laughed and talked and ate their japanese ice cream. Something just felt right. The stars had aligned for them to be here together tonight; four incredibly busy, successful girls who by chance were in the same city at the same time. It was like the universe had planned this day, and this day only, just for them.

"This is perfect," Lisa said.

"It's like we're meant to be friends," Rosie said.

"Like we were in a band in another universe or something," Jisoo added.

The four girls sat there in harmony. They knew that none of them would remember what they had talked about, that it wasn't really important. But what was important was that for the first time, their worlds had aligned, and that it wouldn't be the last time.
