-Plumeria-

" I get that whole yoga thing... but do we really need to make these poses as if we were noodles?" Annika asked as she struggled to hold a very complicated position on a yoga mattress.

Clara sat next to her and was also not very comfortable in her pose. She was about to change her pose when her arms got stuck and she fell on her face.

Meanwhile Ivy and Perfuma were completely relaxed as they went from one pose to another.

"It takes years to master all the yoga techniques. Once you get the hang of it it's pretty relaxing." Perfuma explained with a soft voice.

"Don't worry! When I started I was super clumsy and fell onto my face all the time!" Scorpia chuckled embarrassed and scratched the back of her head.

"You still do that, Sweetie..." Perfuma said sweetly.

Finally the yoga session ended which made Annika and Clara very happy. Together they walked through Plumeria and watched the people there.

"So, I guess you didn't visit us just to meditate?" Perfuma suspected as she looked at Annika and Clara.

"Yeah, now that we are done with yoga, we'd like to offer your daughter something." Annika explained as she moved her shoulders around in order to stop the pain that she felt at the yoga session.

"You see, me and my friend Clara would like to unite the new princesses again and welcome a new prince. But not for a fight this time. For celebrating the peace in Etheria. Four of the royal kingdoms already agreed. But the new princess alience wouldn't be the same without the princess of Plumeria. " the daughter of She ra continued.

"Wow, really? That sounds so cool! You would meet so many new people, Ivy!" Scorpia said excitedly and looked at her daughter.

"I'd love to go meet the other kingdoms princes and princesses and talk to them. And you two seem really nice." Ivy began friendly which made Annika and Clara smile.

"But I can't." Annika and Clara's smile quickly disappeared as Ivy refused the offer.

"What? Why? What's the problem? If it's about that horrible yoga lesson, we can learn it!" Clara quickly assured the princess of Plumeria.

"It's not that, silly." Ivy chuckled. "It's about that animal in the woods. I can't leave Plumeria with that kind of threat while I drink tea with the prince and princesses."

Annika slowly leaned over to Clara. "Do we have any good tea in Bright Moon?" she whispered nervously.

"I don't know. We do have pretty delicious ice cream, so tea can't be that hard to find." Clara answered and shrugged.

Annika sighed and stepped in front of Ivy and her mothers. "Maybe I can help you with the wild animal. I've fought against a giant spider, a retired king and a scary robot. I am certain that I'll also find a solution for Plumeria." she offered with a serious look on her face.

Suddenly Clara stepped next to her friend from behind. "Eh, I was there too? And I helped you fight every single one of them." the princess said peeved as she crossed her arms.

Ivy and her mothers looked at the two girls confused and Annika seemed embarrassed by her best friends. She quickly grabbed the princess's wrist and pulled her a few feet away from the royal family of Plumeria.

" What's wrong? You know you had help with all these things!" Clara asked her friend offended.

" I know, but you still can't control your magic bow and-" Annika got interrupted by Clara.

"So? You can't control this cat side of yours either. But we still survived these crazy situations. Why do you think is that?"

The princess of Bright Moon asked confidently.

Annika looked down at her hands which had her claws out. Then she looked back up and saw Clara offering her hand to Annika.

" We're both still learning to become better but I know that together we'll always work something out. Okay?" Clara said truthfully.

Annika slowly began to smile and took Claras hand. "Okay. I might have an idea."

-Bright Moon-

Adora opened the large door of the palace and her eyes suddenly lit up. In front of her stood Annika and Clara who she immediately hugged.

"Oh, youre back! I was so worried! You need to tell me all about your plans! Its good that you are home again! Come in, we-" Adora cheered but got interrupted by Annika.

"Uh. Mom? Were not here to stay... We...came for Melog..." Annika explained carefully as her mothers face slowly turned sad.

"Oh...You...Came for Melog... Why?" Adora stuttered disapointed.

"Princess Ivy has a problem with a creature from outer space and since Melog also comes from another planet we thought maybe they could talk to them?" Clara continued to explain her plan.

"Oh, okay... Thats very smart of you. Im so proud... Ill go get them..." Adora tried real hard to sound supportive but the girls knew that she was clearly sad about them not staying in Bright Moon.

After a while, Adora came back with Catra and Melog. Catra looked upset at her daughter, who made a guilty face in sync with Clara. Because of that, Melog also wasnt very happy and glared at the two girls.

"Here you go. I hope they can help you." Catra said in a sarcastical tone as she gave Melog a sign to go next to Annika and Clara.

"Thanks... And dont worry, well be back in no time." Annika tried to calm her mothers but they didnt seem to feel any better and shut the palace door.

"So... We should go back to the whispering woods if we want to help Ivy..." Clara suggested uncomfortable and scratched her neck with one hand and pointed into the whispering woods with the other one.

"Yeah... Hold on, if the whispering woods are so close to Bright Moon, why did we not go there first?" Annika noticed confused. Clara was about to respond and breathed in, but didnt seem to have an explanation for their route planning either.

"We should study the maps again...We are really bad at planning..." the princess of Bright Moon joked around to make Annika forget about the guilt they both felt. And it worked for the moment and Annika chuckled with a few cat noises in between which made Clara chuckle with her friend.

Suddenly Melog appeared behind Annika and purred as they stoked around her legs. Annika pet them on the head and led Melog towards the whispering woods.

-Adora and Catras room-

Adora entered the bedroom of her and her wife and fell onto the bed unmotivated to stand up again. Catra followed her wife into the bedroom and sat onto the bed next to Adora.

"Hey Adora, its gonna be okay. I mean sure, our daughter is at the point where her friends are more important than her parents but were not going to let these royalty dorks steal Annika from us, right?" Catra encouraged Adora but her wife didnt move.

"I'm starting to think that we should have kept them here." Adora told Catra worried.

"Adora, you heard what Razz said. And even though I don't completely trust her and think she's just an old crazy lady, I do trust you. And if you believe in what Razz says, so do I." Catra said in the most caring way her nature allowed her to.

Adora looked at her wife touched by her little speech and gave Catra a hug and a kiss afterwards.

"Fine, I'm going to trust them. They wouldn't have wanted Melog to come if they didn't have a plan." Adora encouraged herself.

-the whispering woods-

"You... actually think this creature is...the same as the beast?" Ivy asked unconvinced while trying to pet Melog who just hid behind Annika the whole time.

"Listen, I know we aren't sure, but I've known Melog my entire life and I recognize the sounds they make. Like right now, I believe they say they don't like being touched by strangers." Annika tried to explain to Ivy carefully.

"Oh..." Ivy sighed sadly and backed off. "So your plan is just to let Melog go to that creature?"

"That is the most reckless plan I have ever heard." Clara added unimpressed.

"No, we just let Melog look for it and let them try to talk to the creature. We will follow them and make sure they don't get hurt. If it's really the same species as Melog then it would be amazing. If it isn't we'll step in and safe them." Annika explained her plan more specific.

"Okay... That could work. But what do we do if it doesn't. If the creature won't listen to Melog..." Clara questioned the plan and gave Annika a concerned look.

"It has to work..." Annika mumbled determined and knelt down to Melog who suddenly looked scared and uncomfortably.

"Hey, it's okay, Melog. I won't leave you." Shera's daughter said as she pet Melog on their head. Even though the cat-alien didn't seem convinced they still meowed and showed the girls they were ready.

"Did... you also think of how to find the creature?" Ivy reminded her new friends who looked at each other uncertain.

"Sure... we did... we use..." Clara began her sentence while looking for an answer. Suddenly she noticed her shoulder bag where her food used to be. "tiny food!" she called out.

"Huh? I'm-I'm sorry, did I miss something or..." Ivy stuttered confused and pointed at Melog.

"When the creature attacked us it seemed to like the food from Dryl. Annika, you still have your box, right?" Clara explained as she turned to her best friend.

"Yeah, it's right here." Annika searched in her shoulder bag for a few seconds before pulling out a similar box like the one Clara lost in the forest.

"Then we can use it as bait! Come on, let's find a good place!" Clara stated still proud if her plan and ran off into the forest.

"Is it safe for her there?" Annika turned to Ivy who shook her head concerned so they quickly followed the princess of Bright Moon.
