Shuri's POV:
She had already left the dormitory before Riri woke up. Now she was in an aircraft on her way back to Wakanda, she already knew she was going to hear a lot as Ayo and Aneka were the ones flying her back.
"We received a telephone call last night." Aneka stated.
"Maybe leave me the fuck alone about that." Shuri was already is a stressed mood, and combined with her hate for the early morning, she was mean.
The Dora were taken aback by her sudden use of profanity. Ayo sighed.
"Come now young warrior." Ayo commanded Shuri.
She sighed, following Ayo to a room within the ship. Knowing Ayo wouldn't give up.
"What is the matter?" Ayo raised an eyebrow and questioned.
"I'm ruining everything, and I can't talk to Riri about it because now things are going to be awkward between us. I was drunk and pursued her anyways and we had sex, and now things are awkward. And I'm losing my best friend all over again! And I thought this was going to make everything better but it somehow made it all worse and I just can't bare to lose another person in my life like this." Shuri seemed to talk for hours, by the time she finished her rant tears were rolling down her cheeks.
Ayo couldn't respond quickly, but she embraced the young royale. Comforting her.
"Everything is going to be okay. You're not going to just let her slip away. You love that young woman, so you are going to do whatever you need to do to fix anything that went wrong. From the looks of it this situation isn't all that bad. Yes things may be awkward for a bit but that's okay. It's all going to be alright." Ayo spoke.
This was going to take a while.

Riri's POV:
She woke up, cold. She thought she had left a window open, nope just the emptiness from 3 days before. Everything was ruined. She had taken advantage of something good, now here were the consequences.
She checked her phone for a notification, nothing. Not even a note. She needed to get up and go to class, she couldn't put her life on hold. So she began to get ready for her class. Differential Equations was an hour away and a 30 minute walk so time to get going.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
She had made it to the on-site Starbucks outside of her lecture hall. Suddenly there was a bit of home, she had received a notification.
Shuri: Please come outside.
No emojis, No Slang, Nothing Cute. This was serious, but so was her lecture, but so was this so she decided to grab her coffee and go out the door. As soon as she stepped out, there was a tall figure waiting for her.
"Hey." Shuri said wait a deep breath.
Riri had to make her point quickly so she cut Shuri off.
"You left me you know? But I also took advantage of you and that wasn't right, but you ghosting me for half a week wasn't right either. And we are both wrong here, but we both really like each other so what's the point of even being upset. I missed you so much and not talking to you for so long was so tiring and-" Riri went on a rant but was cut off by a strong embrace.
"I'm sorry Ri, I was being irresponsible and pressured you. And I'm sorry I didn't talk to you I was just scared, I didn't want to scare you away either. I just want things to go back to normal." Shuri said softly.
They needed things to be how they used to. The tension ate at the both of them for days, now everything was going to be alright.
However there was one small problem, all the press release. There seemed to be some club footage released as well and they would have to work through that situation, but for now things were alright.
"But enough of that, I'll here to ask you something." Shuri pulled away as she spoke and Riri felt her heart drop.
"Will you go on a date with me?"
