Months passed and all four of the girls grew even closer. There wasn't a day that went by where they weren't talking in the group text or planning to go out for lunch or dinner and sometimes even dancing. Even when they were split up at times for individual interviews, they still spoke everyday. Kristen went on Seth Meyers and Melissa finished up some appearances for "The Boss." Leslie and Kristen began to prepare for their return to SNL and soon, they knew filming would finish. It would be a heartbreaking day, for sure, but once they got back together for press tours and interviews around the world, they already knew their reunion would be more than epic. Kristen and Kate's relationship did grow, as they had hoped, and even with some tension there, it helped the rest of Holtz and Erin's storyline. Kristen eventually numbed her own feelings, pretending it was all a little girl crush phase she went through and Kate locked away her emotions, keeping them in a small compartment in the back of her mind that she so labeled in her head as "Pandora's Box." Only opening it would create disaster for herself and so she mentally swallowed the key as well, knowing that it could only be opened when its contents had finally emptied or been suppressed to being less disastrous.

"I gotta tell you something." Kate spoke up in the back seat of the New York taxi cab she rode in with Leslie, headed to Studio 8H for the first meeting of SNL's 41st season. It was September 27, 2015 and Ghostbusters had been done filming for a little over a week.

Exhausted from such an immediate transition, Leslie barely heard Kate beside her. "What?"

Almost instantly, Kate wished she hadn't spoken, but now she knew it was too late to draw back. She closed her eyes as she finally felt ready enough to say it out loud to someone else, believing that Pandora's Box in her mind was finally ready unlock, though not ready to be opened just yet. "Kristen kissed me."

Leslie's eyes immediately widened. "WHAT?!"

McKinnon should've known she'd react like this. The cab driver jumped at the sudden exclamation. "Kristen and I kissed." She had to repeat.

Jones took a moment before responding as she tried to calm herself a bit more. She took a deep breath. "Stop playin.'"

"I'm not." Kate looked at her seriously.

"Holy shit, bitch! When?!"

"It was awhile ago. Back in July in the middle of filming." The blonde admitted.

"July?!" Leslie asked. "Why ain't you tell me sooner?"

"Because. I don't know. I wasn't sure if we were keeping it a secret or if...if you'd even believe me. Or if I still thought it was real. I don't...I don't know." Her own eyes widened as she spoke as she hoped Leslie wouldn't make such a big deal about it or be mad at her for not telling.

"Oh my God! What else happened?" Leslie loved details.

"Nothing. That was it. We both agreed to just be friends." She shrugged before looking back out the car window.

"Damn, girl."

"What?"

"Nothin,' it's just...You got straight girls fallin' for you and I still can't even find a man." Leslie chuckled.

"Hun, I'LL be your man." Kate grabbed Leslie's hand with a playful grin.

"Awww...thank you, baby." Leslie squeezed the shorter woman's hand and they laughed.

More time passed. It was almost April and the ladies were all called to LA for a few reshoots including a couple added scenes. Kate and Leslie were ecstatic to see Kristen and Melissa again. Melissa was excited to play Abby once more and Kristen was nervous about seeing Kate but she also couldn't wait to see the cast and crew again.

On location, Kate and Leslie were, surprisingly, the first ones to arrive amongst the cast members. Neil Casey, who played Rowan, was second to show up, followed by Kristen and then Melissa. Once they were all settled into their trailers on set, they were told about Al Roker, an interviewer from "The Today Show" coming in to do speak with the four main actresses about the movie and what was in store for them and how it felt to take on such an iconic franchise.

"Kate!" Melissa stretched her arms out as an invitation for a hug the first time they saw each other in the costume trailer.

"Melissa!" The blonde wrapped her arms around the shorter woman before bringing her legs up around McCarthy's waist. "I missed being picked up."

"I missed picking you up." Melissa responded, bouncing her like a baby and they both laughed.

When Melissa set Kate down, they got ready to put their jumpsuits on as the trailer door opened and Kristen walked in. Melissa watched her and Kate smile at each other from across the room. With a small grin on her own face, the one with black hair turned around to take her jumpsuit from the rack. Kristen continued to walk toward the costumes and she heard the door open behind her. Leslie walked in, sighing about having to wake up early. She went to hair and makeup first, sitting down in the chair in front of her mirror. "I missed you guys, so much!" She said to the hair and makeup ladies, as well as meaning for Kristen and Melissa to hear it.

"Awwww, we missed you too." Everyone responded besides Kristen who sat in her makeup chair as well, glancing over to Kate every now and then.

Leslie turned the music on on her phone as everyone continued to get ready. After sliding into their jumpsuits, Kate and Melissa took their seats in the makeup chairs as well and Kristen and Leslie went to change. Kate couldn't help but admit to herself that she missed seeing Kristen in the Erin Gilbert wig. She looked around at everyone she was working with and tears wanted to fall. They hadn't entirely finished the first film and she was already wishing they would do a sequel.

"Everyone ready for the interview later today?" One of the hair stylists asked, remembering the women sometimes spoke about interviews not being their favorite thing.

"Yes, actually. It'll be nice to finally get to talk more about Flapjack." Kate laughed and so did everyone else. She looked, through the corner of her eye, at Kristen who was zipping up the jumpsuit. She noticed Wiig holding back her smile and she quickly looked away.

When they were all finished getting into costume, they left the trailer together, walking to the studio where they would reshoot some of the green-screen shots. "You ready to wear those proton packs again?" Kate asked the other three, hoping it would prompt Kristen to speak to her. Little did the other two know...Kristen and Kate had been texting all morning about their excitement to see each other again, but McKinnon needed to hear her voice.

"You know, what? Bring it on." Melissa exclaimed. "I actually missed carrying those things around. They made me feel stronger."

"And cooler." Kristen added, causing Kate to secretly smirk.

"We're not true Ghostbusters without them." Leslie admitted.

"Exactly." Kate and Kristen both spoke in unison before snapping their heads to look at each other.

"Jinks!" Kate called out and Kristen giggled.

"You know what I'm excited for?" Leslie began. "The promo tours."

"Really?" Melissa wondered.

"Yeah. 'Cause then we can all just hang out and travel the world together. As much as I don't really enjoy interviews...at least we can have some fun, right?" She did a small dance with her hips while holding the studio door open for the other three to go in.

"True!" Melissa agreed.

"Too bad Chris can't come with us though." Leslie couldn't help but add, stepping in after them.

They all headed to the prop room. "Well, if you think about it he sort of will be." Kristen laughed. "You know the interviewers are all gonna ask questions about him, right?"

"You're right." Melissa laughed. "I miss that big guy."

"Me too." Kristen and Leslie whined at the same time.

"Hey, Melissa. How are the kids?" Kate changed the subject.

"They're great. And Ben's great. I've got a ton of stuff going on after the press tour. With 'The Boss' and 'Life of The Party' should start filming next summer, we've been pretty busy, but things are pretty great."

"Good. Good."McKinnon replied as they entered the prop room to grab their proton packs.

"What about you, Leslie?" Kristen asked. "Have you found your man, yet?"

"Yeah. How's that list workin' out for ya?" Melissa jumped in, being the first to put her pack on.

"Honey, when I get a man, you'll be the first to know." Leslie answered and they all laughed.

Kate was the second one to get her pack on, followed by Leslie, and a hesitant Kristen. "What about you, Kris? Any boyfriends or anything?" Kate tried to engage a bit more, though she didn't expect to receive a slight glare from the one wearing the wig.

The moment she asked, Leslie and Melissa immediately stopped adjusting their proton straps. Leslie pursed her lips, widened her eyes, and looked down at the floor. Melissa continuously looked back and forth between the two and once Kate looked at her, she knew. "You told Melissa?"

"You told Leslie?" Kristen threw back.

"Told us what?" Melissa faked.

"Huh?" Leslie looked back up, also pretending to not know what was happening.

It was uncomfortably quiet for a second, but Kate awkwardly chuckled, breaking the silence. "Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag, right?" She tried to joke and the others nervously giggled.

"I guess so." Kristen bit her lower lip, heading for the door.

"It was just one kiss anyway, right?" Leslie followed.

"Right." Kate answered and they all headed back out to the green-screen stage.
