The quick answer here is that they agree to run away from
Athens and go meet in the forest.
In Act I, Scene 1,
Theseus has just told them that they cannot get married. Hermia has to marry Demetrius
because that is who her father has chosen for her. But Hermia is in love with Lysander
and so the two of them are looking for some way out of this
dilemma.
Lysander tells Hermia that he has a rich aunt.
She lives a long way from Athens. The two of them will go, meet in the woods, and then
head off to the aunt's house. The idea is that they will get married
there.
