One day, Adora and Catra were hanging out in Adora's room in the Brightmoon castle. Adora had convinced Catra to join the rebellion that was fighting against their former team, the Horde. Adora was happy with her new, but Catra still had a lot of concerns.

Catra shyly asked, "Do you really believe in me?"

Adora softly answered, "With all my heart, girlfriend."

Catra said, "I told you to not call me that."

Adora smirked and replied, "Sorry, girlfriend, but like you, I occasionally ignore commands."

Catra said, "I didn't know you could be so dismissive. Is it wrong to admit I respect that?"

Adora replied, "Not at all." She pointed to her lips, while saying, "You still owe me a kiss."

Catra sighed and responded, "Fine."

Adora said, "Hold on, Catra. I know you don't like losing, but I figured you'd be a bit less angry, about having to kiss me. After all, you kissed me, first."

Catra blushed and replied, "I know. I like kissing you, but it makes me feel super shy."

Adora said, "You don't need to be scared, Catra. It's just you and me and we love each other. Of the two of us, you were always the more daring one."

Catra got closer to Adora, before she started kissing Adora's lips. While Catra and Adora were kissing, they started hearing the sound of the door being opened. Catra quickly stopped kissing Adora. Glimmer and Bow stepped into the room. Catra was heavily blushing and was hoping that Glimmer and Bow didn't see the kiss.

Bow said, "Hi, Adora and Catra."

Glimmer explained, "I just talked to my mom. For once, she's proud of me, which is a relieving feeling. She also mentioned that Catra has been welcomed into the team, which sounds good."

Bow looked at Catra, while asking, "Do you like your new room?"

Catra said, "Um, I think so. It's nice to share a room with Adora." She paused and tried to downplay her feelings for Adora, to make her feel less nervous. She said, "It's not like it's easy, to share a room with Adora. She often tries to get midnight snacks and she makes a lot of noise, when she has weird dreams."

Glimmer said, "We're glad you joined the team, Catra. New friends are always better than new enemies."

Catra said, "I don't know much about what your team does, so I hope I'll be able to figure everything out."

Bow replied, "It's pretty simple. We beat up the members of the Horde and restore peace to the land."

Catra said, "Actually, that is pretty simple."

Bow replied, "Being a hero requires being simple-minded." Adora and Glimmer rolled their eyes.

Glimmer looked at Catra, while saying, "I don't think you need to worry. After seeing you fight those Horde soldiers, I don't doubt you have what it takes, to be useful in combat."

Catra smiled and replied, "Thank you."

Bow said, "I need to load up on arrows, so I better get going. It's nice meeting you, Catra." He paused and said, "Technically, this is the second time I've seen you, but this is the first time, that we weren't in the middle of a battle." He walked out of the room.

Glimmer said, "Adora, can I talk to you, in the hallway, for a minute?"

Adora replied, "Sure." She looked at Catra, while saying, "I'll be right back."

Adora closed her bedroom door and she and Glimmer stepped into the hallway. Adora looked at Glimmer, while asking, "What's up?"

Glimmer said, "Your relationship is what's up."

Adora looked up and saw the ceiling of the kingdom. She said, "It's not like I'm in a relationship with the ceiling, so nothing's up."

Glimmer raised an eyebrow, while replying, "I don't know what that means, but I do know what I saw, and I saw you and Catra smooching."

Adora tried to look sophisticated, while saying, "We weren't smooching. We just shared a kiss, to express our love for one another."

Glimmer said, "So, Catra's your girlfriend?"

Adora fiddled with a piece of her hair, while saying, "Pretty much, but Catra doesn't want our relationship to have labels. She's shy."

Glimmer asked, "Really? She seemed pretty brave and strong, while on the battlefield."

Adora explained, "Being strong, when it comes to battles is much different, than being emotionally strong." She put her hand on her forehead, while saying, "Oh, no."

Glimmer looked concerned, while asking, "What's wrong?"

Adora said, "I just told you, about Catra and I's secret relationship and I basically called her a scaredy cat. I'm a lousy friend, aren't I?"

Glimmer responded, "Adora, I've only known you for a short while, but during that time, I've seen you be a very caring and devoted friend. Don't be so hard on yourself."

Adora started pacing around the hallway, while saying, "I'm guess I'm just so excited about Catra and I reuniting that I can't hide how much I love her."

Glimmer replied, "Then tell her how you feel."

Adora said, "I have, but it makes her uncomfortable."

Glimmer asked, "Does she not feel the same way?"

Adora asked, "Are you kidding? Catra's crazy about me." She paused and said, "At least, I'm hoping she is."

Glimmer replied, "I think you and Catra need to have a little talk."

Adora asked, "Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, I already talked her into joining our team, this morning. I'm not sure she'll be in the mood, for more talking."

Glimmer said, "I can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you a story. When my parents were growing, my mom had a big crush on my father and she kept that a secret, for a couple of years. My mom often talks about how those years were wasted and how amazing her life became, after she revealed how she felt."

Adora replied, "But revealing my feelings might make things even more awkward, between Catra and I, than ever."

Glimmer responded, "It's not like keeping your feelings locked up and hidden is going to help."

Adora replied, "You're right. I'll go talk to her."

A few minutes later, Adora went back into her room. She looked around and saw Catra drinking milk on the bed. She had accidentally spilled some milk on her shirt and the bed, which Adora wasn't very happy about, but she had more important things to focus on. Catra asked, "What's up?"

Adora said, "I know you probably don't want to hear this, but I love you."

Catra replied, "I love you, too."

Adora shyly paced around the bed, while saying, "I'm not just talking about the kind of love, that two friends have for each other. Catra, you're like my soulmate."

Catra avoided eye-contact, while asking, "Do we really have to talk about this?"

Adora said, "I'm sorry. I've probably put you through enough emotions, today. I mean, this morning, you were still working for the Horde and now, you're in the kingdom of Brightmoon. It's a big change."

Catra replied, "It'll take some getting used to, but I think our new home will be better than our previous home."

Adora said, "The only thing, that I missed from the Horde was you and now that you're here, everything feels so much better."

Catra asked, "Does having me around really make that much of a difference?"

Adora said, "Of course it does. Don't tell Glimmer and Bow, but there's nobody I care about more than you. If I'm not expressing too much self-confidence, I'm assuming I'm your favorite person in the whole world."

Catra had an amused look on her face, while replying, "Wow, your ego's been really shining through, lately. Becoming She-Ra must of boosted your confidence."

Adora said, "I guess it did."

Catra looked at Adora and noticed she looked guilty, so she asked, "What's going on?"

Adora said, "I'm afraid I told Glimmer about you and me."

Catra groaned and replied, "Adora, do you have to be such a tattletale?"

Adora said, "I really am sorry, but I'm just so excited."

Catra asked, "What is there to be excited about?"

Adora smiled, while saying, "Spending time with you."

Catra replied, "Big deal. We spent lots of time, together, back at the Horde."

Adora said, "True, but back then, we were kids and Shadow Weaver bossed us around. We're adults, now. We don't have to listen to anybody." She paused and said, "Technically, we have to listen to Queen Angella, but still, we don't have to be treated like servants or sidekicks. I'm my own person and so are you. I'm excited, because I believe good things are in our future."

Catra smiled, while replying, "That's the Adora I remember. Always overly-sentimental."

Adora smirked, while saying, "It's not like you didn't have a sentimental side, too."

Catra stood up and smirked back, while replying, "You're wrong. I've always been hardcore."

Adora responded, "Yeah right."

Suddenly, Adora and Catra heard a ominous voice say, "Adora, we need to talk."

Catra raised an eyebrow and looked at Adora, while asking, "Did you hear that? It sounds like some creep's trying to talk to you."

Adora casually replied, "It's probably just somebody, who works at the castle, that has to tell me something about the war. I'll see what this person wants and be right back. Try to avoid spilling milk all over the place."

Catra sighed and responded, "Fine."

Adora stepped out of the room and closed the door. She looked around, to see who was trying to talk to her. However, the hallway appeared to be empty. She paced around, while asking, "Is anybody there? I'm Adora. I heard somebody call my name."

Adora figured she better go back inside, but suddenly, Shadow Weaver appeared in front of her. Adora nervously raised her eyebrows, while asking, "Is that you, Shadow Weaver?"

Shadow Weaver explained, "Technically, I can't transport myself to faraway places, but I can transport an illusion, that has my likeness. Although the body standing before you is a fake, my words are my own and my words are more scary than the power of a hundred soldiers."

Adora asked, "What is your illusion doing here?"

Shadow Weaver said, "I want to have a little chat with you, dear child."

Adora angrily replied, "I'm not a child, anymore. I also don't work for you."

Shadow Weaver was tempted to push Adora, but her illusion couldn't actually touch her. She paced around Adora, while trying to make her former pupil feel intimidated and scared. She said, "Adora, I raised you. You could of been raised by a poor family, who had nothing to offer you, but I decided to raise you, because I saw potential in you. I gave you all the motherly love, that I could muster."

Adora replied, "Then I'm glad you're not a real mother, because you were a poor guardian to both Catra and me."

Shadow Weaver said, "Hordak's a strong leader, but he doesn't always make the best decisions. One of his most foolish ideas was having Catra be the one, who would bring you back to the Horde. I haven't heard from Catra, all day. Do you know where she is?"

Adora folded her arms and replied, "She's here. She and I share the same home and room, once again. Despite you not believing in Catra, she's just as important of a person, as I am. Together, we're going to stop the Horde."

Shadow Weaver responded, "Adora, out of all the warriors I trained, you were the one I had the most trust in. That's why your ignorance and dumb decisions disappoint me. Before leaving the Horde, you were promoted to Force Captain. Do you know what a great honor that position is?"

Adora replied, "The Horde's Force Captains lead battles against innocent people. It's nothing to be proud of."

Shadow Weaver shook her head, in disappointment. She said, "Adora, you let me down."

Adora replied, "You let me down. I used to think you were a good leader, but more importantly, I thought you cared about me."

Shadow Weaver said, "I do care about you. I want to help you accomplish your potential."

Adora replied, "I have the potential to help others and that's what I'm going to do. I'm not going to be Hordak's henchgirl."

Shadow Weaver said, "Don't make me threaten you."

Adora scoffed and replied, "Give me a break. You're an illusion. You can't lay a finger on me and if you actually come to Brightmoon, I'll have an entire team of warriors, who will stop you and lock you up."

Shadow Weaver said, "Adora, don't try to disobey me."

Adora put her hands on her hips, while replying, "I don't care what you want me to do or what you expect of me. I know you raised me and because of that, there's a part of me that still cares about you. However, I will not do anything you command me to do."

Shadow Weaver angrily responded, "You're being a fool and Catra's acting like an even bigger fool!"

Adora said, "A foolish hero is still better than a smart villain."

Shadow Weaver replied, "You claim you're a grown-up, but you're talking like a child. Hero and villain are such simplistic titles, that have no real meaning. The only title you should be thinking about is Force Captain, the job you earned."

Adora responded, "I no longer want that job and I no longer want your guidance. Goodbye, Shadow Weaver."

Shadow Weaver shook her head, while saying, "This is not the end, Adora. I'll come back, but the next time you see me, I'll be in my true form. I'll give Catra the roughest punishment of her life and I'll force you to watch the whole thing." The villainous sorceress chuckled, before her illusion faded away.

A moment later, Adora walked back into the bedroom. Adora had been gone longer, than Catra was expecting, so Catra looked at Adora and asked, "What's up? I was starting to get worried about you."

Adora looked a bit gloomy, while saying, "Shadow Weaver visited me."

Catra nervously asked, "What? She came?"

Adora said, "It was just an illusion she sent, but she spoke to me and she's not happy to hear about us leaving the Horde."

Catra angrily sighed and replied, "I knew she would make a big fuss about this. I can't stand that woman."

Adora put her hand on Catra's shoulder and said, "If she tries anything, we'll stop her."

Catra asked, "How? She's a sorceress. She knows all kinds of spells, that we know nothing about."

Adora replied, "True, but we have Glimmer, who has magical abilities."

Catra said, "Maybe we should just go back to the Horde."

Adora's eyes widened, while asking, "How could you say such a thing?"

Catra said, "Shadow Weaver might go easy on us, if we apologize and start doing what she asks of us."

Adora replied, "Catra, you're suggesting we let a manipulative bully tell us what to do. We can't listen to her, anymore."

Catra said, "You told me you won't make me do anything, so if I want to go back to the Horde, you won't be able to stop me."

Adora replied, "True, but I will ask you to do something."

Catra sighed and asked, "What is it?"

Adora said, "Don't do what Shadow Weaver wants you to do. Do what you want to do. I truly doubt you want to go back to the Horde, but I'm not you, so I can't confirm that. Tell me what you want, Catra."

Catra stared at Adora, while trying to get her thoughts together. She wondered what she truly want. Did she want to submit to Shadow Weaver's demands? Did she want to be a part of the rebellion? A few tears came down her eyes, before saying, "I grew up in the Horde, so I barely know the difference between good and evil, as well as the difference between following commands and achieving happiness. I just want to feel free and I don't want to lose you, ever again."

Adora replied, "Then stay with me. We'll stop Shadow Weaver, when she returns. I believe in both of us, along with Glimmer and Bow. We can defeat our evil mentor." Catra pulled Adora closer and gave her a big hug.

Catra rested her head on Adora's shoulder, while saying, "I feel so tired."

Adora replied, "Then we'll go to sleep, early. I'll tuck you in." Catra smiled.

Adora and Catra quickly got ready for bed. Adora changed back into her unicorn pajamas, which led to Catra snickering at her. As for Catra, she was given a pair of kitty pajamas. She thought they were a bit too cutesy, for somebody her age, but she hadn't brought any spare outfits with her, when she moved out of the Horde and neither did Adora, so they both had to settle for the leftover pajamas the Brightmoon kingdom had. Adora laid down, while Catra laid on the end of the bed and curled herself into a ball, like a cat. Both women felt comfortable. Although they were in a different home and were sleeping on a different bed, they were still with each other.
