Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy trade detention for dinner.

The two actresses famously starred in John Hughes’ teen classic The Breakfast Club. Nearly 38 years after the film’s debut in February 1985, the former Brat Packers caught up with a reunion that Ringwald described as an “early Christmas present.”

On Sunday, Ringwald, 54, shared a photo of her and her “psychic sister Ally” hugging in front of the camera while eating at New York’s Café Luxembourg.

The reunion drew enthusiastic comments from Ringwald’s supporters, including musicians Cat Powers and Susannah Hoffs of the Bangles.

“Squeak!!!!!!!” wrote My Big Fat Greek Wedding star Nia Vardalos, while many fans clamored for a sequel to The Breakfast Club.

“My Gen X heart just skipped a beat!” read another comment. “It’s just so nice to see!”

Sheedy, 60, and Ringwald have appeared alongside their former co-stars a number of times in the decades since their film’s release. In 2005, the actresses who played misfit Allison and “Princess” Claire in the incarceration drama, respectively, joined Anthony Michael Hall (Brian) and Paul Gleason (Vice Director Vernon) at the MTV Movie Awards. Five years later, at the 2010 Academy Awards, they paid tribute to their late director, John Hughes, alongside Hall and Judd Nelson (Bender). Sheedy and Ringwald also appeared at SXSW in 2015 in honor of the film’s 30th anniversary.
