Ashley Argota flew all the way across the country to spend the weekend with friends, family and do charity work! The Nickelodeon actress surprised her best friend Raini Rodriguez at an event her brother, Rico Rodriguez, was being honored. Raini updated her official Tumblr with how she felt about the surprise:

My best friend, Ashley flew in from New York to come and surprise me at the Power of Youth event on Saturday. And boy did she. I’m shocked I didn’t figure it out, I’m usually good at stuff like that, but I was so busy these past couple of weeks, that I never noticed my mom texting my best friend. Im also bad at reacting to surprises, but I’m sure the look of confusion and excitement was a sight to see. I didn’t realize how badly I missed her until she was standing there and then it hit me. We had the best time reconnecting and catching up with our lives. Special thanks goes out to her mom and my mom, for texting each other and being great secret keepers, but now I will always be suspicious of them!

After Power of Youth, Ashley also hit up the Ronald McDonald Charity event and the Puss in Boots movie premiere! What a busy weekend!
