We've been best friends

since the first day of ninth grade.

I was too shy to sit with anyone in the cafeteria.

And I didn't want any of the other students

to see that I had a sack lunch.

So we ended up hiding together in the library.

So you made each other forget how miserable you were.

And we've been each other's life raft ever since.

- And now we work together. - Mm-hmm.

Our company is called Tarica Solutions.

- Oh, so Tara and Jessica-- - Equals Tarica.

Oh, that's very clever. - [chuckles]

We take care of literally all your home-organizing needs.

We do pantries, closets, media rooms, crafts rooms.

Garages. We do a lot of garages.

- Okay. - Good organization

doesn't just clear the clutter from your home.

It clears the clutter from your mind.

And a portion of the proceeds helps fund

the community garden that I started.

Aw, that is sweet.

And I bet your kids

are just the best of friends, huh?

- No, no kids. - Yeah.

- Oh. - No husbands.

It just hasn't been our focus. - Oh.

Um, so tell me, what can the island do for you?

- High school was tough for us. - More than tough.

They locked us in the orchestra pit.

Slipped cold cuts through the vents in our lockers

on hot days. - And the nicknames?

I was Snorin' Warren and she was Breadsticks.

- Breadsticks? - There was an incident

at the Olive Garden.

Yeah, we don't talk about that.

Oh, and then prom night happened.

Almost afraid to ask.

Janie Poovey was the most popular girl

in high school.

She said that if we got a limo and paid for it,

she and her friends would ride with us.

If we walked into prom with Janie,

it would have been total social vindication.

[sighs] This is bad, Tar.

They should be here by now.

They're cool people, Jess. Cool people are late.

How would you know?

It's gonna be fine. [gasps]

Look, near beer.

We worked at the ice cream shop

for three months to rent this thing.

What if they don't show?

Janie and Sheryl aren't gonna pass up

riding to prom in a stretch limo.

[sighs] It is pretty awesome.

Okay, pass me a near beer. - Okay, take one.

You know what? Screw it.

I'm gonna ask Ashton Stanford to dance tonight.

[gasps] That's it!

[gasps] both: They're here.

Yo, Breadsticks, we got our own limo.

You suck! - Have fun with Snorin' Warren.

- Oh! - Aah!

I guess we were geeks.

It's just awful.

An now it's your 30th reunion.

- And we know we're awesome. - Mm-hmm.

It would just be nice if they did.

Our fantasy is to go to the reunion

and rule the school.

We want our classmates to envy us

the way that we used to envy them.

You want to be the popular kids for once.

Do you think we're being petty?

I think you've both been through a lot.

- Mm. - Yes.

And I guarantee you will rule the school.

[chuckles]

The class of '92 has been told

that their hosts, the two of you,

have flown them to the island

The reunion weekend will include

multiple events culminating with the dream prom

that you never had. - We're the hosts?

Bobo is my best friend.

can be very intense. [chuckles]

I mean, it's Fantasy Island.

Yeah.

What happened to us?

Instead of pushing each other to be braver,

we--we stuck with what made us feel safe.

Each other.

We have to stop doing that.

but maybe being each other's life rafts

kept us from learning to swim on our own.
