(upbeat music) - Gosh.
It's probably too embarrassing to even talk about.
- There was something really unique about this and how close we got.
- It was just such a special time.
- I feel almost silly talking so enthusiastically about it, because I worry that people think it's disingenuous.
- It was one of the best times of my life and I'll never forget it.
(squeals and applause) We would have these nights, where we would all sit around in the Royal Marine Hotel and we would pass the guitar around and sing songs.
- I was learning piano, for the role, I had a keyboard in my room that they had given me so it became like a mini studio.
We had two guitars, we had a piano.
- Always dancing!
- Always laughing.
- Always quizzing each other.
What was the game?
- I can't remember.
- Yes or no?
- No - No.
Rocks or socks.
- Yeah.
- But not using clothes.
- So we'd propose like, Norah Jones.
- Rocks or socks.
- Rocks or socks.
- [Willa] We also had a lot of dance parties.
- We listened to a lot of Hall and Oates.
We listened to a lot of Paul Simon.
We listened to this album all the time, by Khalid, it was called American Teen and we listened to it constantly.
- And every time any of those songs come up it immediately transports me back to Ireland and to our dance parties in our rooms late at night and it was very much a soundtrack to our experience.
- [Willa] Maya's birthday happened right when we first got to Ireland and we wanted to get her some sort of birthday present so we got her these new age crystals from this weird shop that we found on the High Street and that kind of led to these crystal rituals.
- [Maya] It was the start of the full moon.
- [Willa] It involved the full moon we would go out and bathe our crystals in the sea 'cause we were right by the sea.
- I think because the story is so much about friendship and goodness, I think that somehow infiltrated our daily lives.
- It was a very unique time.
