Why would she want to have dinner with me and one of her girlfriends? Or is this some sort of freaky hidden agenda?

Doesn't sound like something strange to me, lol! Maybe she's just really into you.
And her friend coming along isn't all that surprising. You're probably still in the "stranger" category in her mind and she is probably just bringing the friend along as a safety measure. No biggie!
If I were her, I would do the same. I might meet a fellow young (and legal) CD member in Boston soon. I asked him if he had a MySpace or Facebook account (I just wanted to see a picture of him) so that my friends and I know exactly WHO I might be potentially meeting in a city that we have never been to before. It's just a safety measure, nothing more! Hopefully I didn't creep the guy out and that he understands where I'm coming from with it.
Ladies need to be careful out there!! But back to what I was saying...
If you DO think that they have some "freaky hidden agenda":
1) Meet her and her friend someplace not expensive for dinner...maybe Applebee's or something like that. This way if they do the dine-n-dash thing, you can afford to cover the bill. Hopefully this won't happen. And get their FIRST, so they can't slip stuff into your drink (in case they do have a hidden agenda)!!! Wait until they get there to order drinks...they're probably thinking the same you're thinking right now. It's natural for people to be nervous when meeting strangers for the first time (assuming this is the 1st time you're meeting the woman).
2) This is NOT a date since her friend will also be there. You don't have to pay for everything. If you want to pay for something of theirs (drinks, septa tokens, etc.) wait a while into the night. Let them know (without explicitly stating it (unless they mention the topic 1st) that you're not Mr. Moneybags and don't intend to be!
3) Do not invite them to your place if you don't have to! Enjoy a night on the town! Maybe offer walk them back to their apt. building (if close by) or to a cab or train/trolley/bus station that will take them back home once they are ready to leave and retire for the night.
Okay...there's my guide to not getting caught up in a freaky hidden agenda! Have oodles and noodles of fun in Philly, TVandSportsGuy! Relax and enjoy!!!!
