A. Lysander and Hermia decide to run away, which brings the four lovers and the fairies together in the woods.

Lysander and Hermia plan to run away, and Helena tells Demetrius, thinking that it will make him love her again. He goes into the woods to follow Hermia and Helena goes into the woods to follow Demetrius. This brings them all together where the fairies are.
