"Come on, Y/N! We haven't had a girls' night in ages!" Ruby practically whined, making you laugh. She was right. It had been a while since you had gone out with the girls. You were a daycare worker and spending all day with the babies and toddlers usually made you far too tired to much of anything after work.

"Okay, Ruby. You call Snow and I'll call Belle. We can paint the town red." Ruby deadpanned at your attempted pun, but then smiled. "Great!" She ran off to call Snow. You shook your head fondly before pulling out your phone to call Belle. By the time you hung up, you were actually excited for a girls' night with your best friends.

That night, you put on your favorite "out on the town" dress and met Ruby, Snow, and Belle at the bar. "You actually came! I thought you were going to flake!" Ruby cried when she saw you. You shrugged. "I figured you were right. I need a night out with the girls. First round's on me!" you cried over the thumping music.

You walked up to the bar just as someone turned around. "Oh, I'm sorry." You just smiled. "It's okay, Archie. No harm done." Archie laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his neck. It was an adorable sight to you. Then again, you'd always thought Archie was cute.

Across the bar, Ruby, Snow, and Belle watched the exchange. "They are so cute!" Snow commented and the others agreed. Nothing more was said after that because you returned to the table, but the three kept watch as you and Archie exchanged little looks all night. After a few hours, you decided to call it a night. "I'm exhausted. I'll see you guys around! Thanks for the invite. It was fun!" You left, Archie's eyes on your retreating form.

"I'm going to tell him to make a move!" Ruby declared, but Belle put a hand on her arm. "I don't think we should get involved." Snow laughed. "Maybe not now, but if the two of them can't admit it to one another soon, I say we help them out." Ruby agreed readily, but Belle just shook her head. She may not have wanted to get involved, but she wasn't going to stop Snow and Ruby if it meant you got your happy ending.

*time skip*

"UGH! THEY ARE OBLIVIOUS!" Ruby yelled after yet another failed attempt to set you up with Archie. "I told you we shouldn't get involved, Ruby," Belle stated simply as she took a sip of her tea. "But Y/N and Archie are perfect for each other, Belle." Snow shook her head. "What we need is a fool-proof plan to get them together. Make them realize they both like each other." Ruby and Belle sighed for very different reasons. "Yeah, but how?" The three were silent for a moment before Snow said, "I have an idea."

The next day, you arrived at Granny's just in time for dinner. Ruby, Snow, and Belle were already there. With Archie. As soon as they saw you, your friends all got up and rushed over to you, except Archie who stood by the table, looking confused. Suddenly, you felt three sets of hands pushing you toward Archie. Unfortunately for you, they pushed slightly too hard and you ended up crashing into Archie. Or rather, your lips crashed into his.

You felt your face heat up as soon as you realized what was happening. You just kissed the guy you had a crush on and completely on accident at that. The second thing you noticed was that Archie wasn't pulling away. Instead, he wrapped his arms around you and kept kissing you. "Well...that didn't exactly go how we planned," Snow muttered, making you and Archie break apart. You stared at him with wide eyes. "Archie, I-I-I," you stuttered.

Archie chuckled, sadly. "It's okay, Y/N. I understand it was an accident. I shouldn't have-" You cut him off. "No, Archie. I was going to say that I'm sorry for them. Not for the kiss. I've, uh, actually wanted to kiss you for a long time." Archie blinked in surprise. "You have?" You couldn't fight your smile as you nodded. "Yeah, I have." Archie cleared his throat nervously and asked, "Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?" You nodded and slid into the booth next to you.

Your friends watched as you and Archie sat down and started talking like you'd known each other all your lives. "Yeah, you were right, Belle. We shouldn't have gotten involved," Ruby commented sarcastically. Belle rolled her eyes playfully. "Oh, hush." All three were grinning from ear to ear as they observed you and Archie laughing together, your eyes shining merrily.
