While loyalties are constantly changing in the tumultuous world of [_Game of Thrones_](http://time.com/4429346/game-of-thrones-season-7-cast-news/), the offscreen friendship between stars [Maisie Williams](http://time.com/4679069/game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-sophie-turner-birthday/) and [Sophie Turner](http://time.com/4654031/maisie-williams-sophie-turner-2017-sag-awards/) seems prepared to stand the test of time.

Even though they went nearly six full seasons without sharing a scene, the pair—who play sisters Arya and Sansa Stark—have remained close throughout the series’ lengthy run. During a 2013 [Emmys panel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkzodgRaze8), Williams revealed that she knew there was something special about Turner after their very first audition together.

“I had gotten along really really well with Sophie and I just remember her being super tall,” she said. “I came out of the audition and said to my mum, ‘Even if I don’t get the part, I really want that girl to. She’s really cool.”

[Carpool Karaoke](http://time.com/4699433/carpool-karaoke-maisie-williams-sophie-turner/)? They’re doing it as a pair, because their bond seems to have only grown stronger since those early _Thrones_ days, with both often showing their love for each other in interviews and on social media.

Here are the some of the best times that Williams and Turner proved #Mophie is friendship goals.
