Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari do not want to go back to the beginning of their Laguna Beach days now that they've officially put their feud to rest.
The newfound BFFs posed together on the red carpet of The Reunion: Laguna Beach event on Thursday in Santa Monica, Calif. — more than 20 years after their MTV reality series premiered.
During an interview with PEOPLE at the event, the duo shared how they finally got to a good place after being archenemies in the early aughts as they dealt with high school drama and a love triangle with costar Stephen Colletti.
"I think it was great," Conrad, 40, said of making up with Cavallari, 39, who also noted that she was "really happy" about ending their feud.
"It was part of what we wanted to show is that we've all grown, we're all adults, a lot of us are parents. And I think that as you get older, you're not worried about the small stuff," Conrad insisted.
Since filming the reunion special, which will air on the Roku Channel April 10, last year, Conrad said she and Cavallari have learned they "have so much in common," and their friendship has blossomed because of it.
"We've been having so much fun just texting and talking and laughing together," she said.
Cavallari was equally positive about the pair healing their relationship.

"I'm thankful that we had the opportunity to even do that," Cavallari told PEOPLE. "And it's been, obviously for us, we haven't had any beefs for the last however many years. We're adults. We've all moved past it, but I think it's nice and to show everybody that we've moved past it is going to be really therapeutic in a lot of ways."
She continued: "We squashed it pretty quickly. Everyone wants to still believe that we're enemies. But it's been great getting to know her now as an adult. And I've realized we actually have a lot more in common than I think both of us ever thought. So it's been interesting to see."

Conrad and Cavallari even posed for photos with their mutual ex Colletti, 40, who also recently appeared in season 4 of The Traitors.
News of rain falling down and waking their dreams of a friendship first became apparent in 2022 when the women discussed their ups and downs on the Back to the Beach podcast.
"My take on it is, you and I never really had any beef," Cavallari said at the time. "Obviously there was a little truth to what happened with the three of us, but I felt like MTV coming kept it alive and made it way worse than it ever would have been."

Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County debuted in 2004 and captured the goings-on of a group of, at that point, non-famous friends at California's Laguna Beach High School. At the time, reality TV was still a novelty to viewers and the show became a smashing success, propelling its stars to careers in the entertainment industry and beyond after it ended in 2006. It even led to the spinoff The Hills, which Cavallari took over in 2009 after Conrad's departure.
Both Conrad and Cavallari now run successful lifestyle businesses with brands LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's and Uncommon James, respectively.
