"I can't do this. Yes, I can. No, I can't" Adora paced her room. That morning, Glimmer had helped her into a long white dress then disappeared into her room saying it was bad luck for Bow to see her before the wedding that afternoon. Adora didn't see what the fuss was about. She had raced Catra down the hall just an hour ago, before Bow pulled her away for a tux fitting.

Bow peaked into Adora's room. "Have you seen Glimmer?"

"She left saying something about bad luck?" Adora said, fighting with her tiara that had gotten tangled in her hair.

Bow sighed and muttered something that sounded like "What am I gonna do with her?" But he smiled affectionally. "I'll find her. By the way, Catra was looking-"

"There you are, idiot!"

Catra came out of nowhere, ran past Bow and tackled Adora to the ground, laughing.

Adora yelped, falling into a heap of dress and Catra.

"…looking for you so she could do that." Bow put his hand to his forehead like he had a headache. "I'm gonna find Glimmer. Behave, you two" he smirked.

Catra helped Adora up and they fell onto Adora's bed, side by side both in hysterics.

As the laughter died down, Catra turned to stare at the woman who would be her wife in a few hours. "You look beautiful"

Adora blushed. "You too" she whispered.

"Are you sure you like the ring?" Catra asked grabbing Adora's hand to inspect it.

"It's perfect" Adora said, kissing her. "but more importantly, I like you. And most importantly, is that a mouse?"

"A mouse? Where?"

Catra was on high alert, her fur standing on end, eyes darting everywhere. The she realized.

"Haha. Very funny, Adora" she pounced onto Adora. Adora was cracking up. Soon Catra was laughing too, and Adora held her close.

"When we have kids, the first thing I'm gonna teach them is how to play is that a mouse"

"Do not!"

Adora's was suddenly serious. "I dreamed of this, you know. When the failsafe was about to kill me and you pulled me back, I saw us like this. Bow and Glimmer too. Married. Maybe we had kids."

Catra snuggled closer. "You dork" she whispered lovingly. "You were about to die and you wasted time thinking about me?"

"You were all I could think about when I was about to die that day"

"Yeah. Me too"

There was a discrete cough at the door. Catra and Adora stiffened and scrambled up, standing at attention as if they were still in the Horde.

A guard was standing in the hallway.

"We weren't goofing off" Adora said unconvincingly.

"Of course, Your Highness" the guard said, non plussed. "Her Majesty the queen sent me to tell you the ceremony is about to start"

A beautiful wish, Horde Prime had said. Back then, this seemed like an impossible, desperate dream. When she saw Catra had followed her, when she gave her a soft smile and said everything would be ok…she had thought that was the last time she would ever see her face. The face of the girl she loved.

Now she was holding Catra's hand as they hurried down the hallways, both still giggling. A beautiful wish.

On the steps to the grounds, Frosta was waving a spear at guests as the (self imposed) bouncer. She had a growth spurt a few summers ago, so she was almost as tall as Bow now. Her hair had grown down past her shoulders.

She growled at Seahawk who put up his hands in surrender. Mermista groaned. She met Adrora's eyes and Adora smirked.

"He's just my ride!" Mermista called.

"Right!" Adora called back sarcastically. Mermista groaned again.

Folding chairs had been set up in neat rows on the grass facing a dais and balloon arch. Perfuma had gone wild with the decorating, making flowers grow in every corner of the venue, even under guests' feet.

In place of honor at the front were the parents of the bride and groom. Lance, George and Micah were hugging each other and sobbing uncontrollably with joy.

Bow looked at the women and smiled. "Best Friend Squad?"

"Best Friend Squad"

Bow and Catra took their place at the dais and there was hush. Slowly Adora and Glimmer made their way down the carpet between the rows of guests.

Scorpia and Perfuma's adorable toddler daughter walked in front of them as the flower girl/ring bearer.

Despite her pincers making it hard to grab the ring pillow and flowers, and her shock of white hair getting into her eyes she did an admirable job.

Seahawk provided the wedding march music on his squeezebox so it was more pirate-y than a royal wedding song should probably be.

Glimmer snickered. "Mom would kill us if she were here" she whispered to Adora. She sobered. "I wish she were here"

Adora gave her a reassuring squeeze.

When they reached the dais, Adora took Catra's hand and Glimmer, Bows.

"Dearly Beloved. We are gathered here today…"

After a long speech about commitment that left the four of them rolling their eyes it was time for vows.

"Glimmer" Bow said softly "you were there for me when I was just learning to use a bow. You let me be myself when nobody else would."

"Bow you were my first friend and no matter how insecure I got, no matter what mistakes I made…you were always there for me."

Adora looked at Catra with a goofy smile. A beautiful wish.

"Catra no matter what happened no matter how much we fought… I never stopped loving you"

Catra rubbed tears from her eyes. "Idiot" she murmured, sniffing. She took a deep breath.

"I once told someone I had a bad life. But you were the only thing that made growing up the Horde bearable. I was stupid to ever let you go, but I promise to spend the rest of my life making up for it. I promise to be worth this second chance"

"Do you take this person to have and to hold as your lawfully wedded spouse?"

"I do" the four of them said in unison.

As they made their way arm in arm back down the aisle to cheers and pelted flowers, Adora reflected they had always been a family. This just made it official.

She grinned at Bow and Glimmer laughing and holding each other tight. She shared a soft smile with Catra.

A beautiful wish.
