"Adora! What are you doing?!" Glimmer shouted as she ran and pulled the young woman away from the window.

"No! I wanted to leave and I saw the window! I want to go outside!" she complained as she pathetically struggled in the much smaller girl's arms.

"So why were you licking the window?!"

"There was a blue butterfly there and I wanted to see if it tasted like blueberries or butter! Then I thought I'd try to eat my way out."

Yesterday, after putting an end to the rise of the machines, they brought the unconscious Sora and Adora to empty rooms to rest in. But because Adora's mental condition was currently questionable, they decided to lock her in for her safety. Everyone had high hopes that she would snap out of it by morning, but to Glimmer's discovery, it was not the case.

The Princess let out a sigh as she let go of the taller girl, "Dang it. Please Adora, tell me you're in there. We can't have She-Ra stuck like this."

She looked back with uneven eyes before blowing a raspberry and giggling in response, "Haha, you got my spit all over your face!"

Glimmer whined in her throat as she wiped her face. "Oh God, what is my mom going to say when she sees you like this." She let out a grunt before grabbing Adora's hand and leading her out. "Come on Adora!"

She let out more giggles in response, "Woah, where are we going?"

"Everyone is having breakfast in the dining hall, we're gonna go see them! Hopefully Bow had better luck with Sora." She suddenly almost tripped when she felt Adora wrap her arms around her and completely gave up on using her legs. "What?! Oh gosh, what are you doing now?!"

"I like hugs! I WANT A HUG!"

Glimmer struggled to stand up straight, "You aren't serious, are you? Come on, Adora, stand up straight!"

"No!"

"Adora!"

"NO!"

"Adora, you are acting like a child! It's time that you mature up and stop playing around! It's time to be serious...oh my God, is this what mother goes through every time she has to deal with me?"

After at least twenty minutes of literally dragging Adora, Glimmer made it to the dining room that was several halls down. The sweating Princess kicked the twin doors open. "Finally, I made it!"

"Yeah, took the words right out of my mouth. What took you so long?" Bow asked, standing up from his seat.

Sora next to him rose, "Seriously, was she that tough to wake up? I thought I was the lazy bum around here!" he joked as he approached. Glimmer entered the hall, revealing the overly clingy girl. "Um, wait? What's Adora's problem?"

Glimmer made a grunt as she successfully pried the blond off, "No! I think the correct wording is your problem!" She shoved Adora onto him whom she immediately clung to. "Your problem now! Shouldn't be an issue since you have your stupid super strength!" She made a beeline for a cold drink and chugged it down, not stopping until she emptied it.

"Ahaha! Your hair is so pointy. Have, have you, like, ever poked someone's eye out with it?"

Bow gulped as he watched her, "Uh-oh. Don't tell me Adora is still-"

"Yes!" Glimmer screeched, "She's just as bad as yesterday, and apparently she's the hugsy type now. Made me carry her all the way over here!"

Bow raised an eyebrow, "Wait, you carried her here? When you can teleport?"

Glimmer's eye twitched before she banged her forehead against the table. "GAAAAAHHH! I HATE THIS DAY!"

The out-of-sorts girl peered over Sora's shoulders, "Oooooooooo, more windows!"

"Oh yeah, I caught her trying to eat her way out of her room through the window...by licking it! Insisted that she was trying to taste berries or something!"

"There was a blue butterfly on the window, and I wanted to see if it tasted like blueberries or butter!"

"You ate the butterfly?!" Sora exclaimed.

Adora started laughing, "What? No, you silly willy, twilly, lilly person, you. The window. Like when you spill syrup on the floor and even though you clean it up, you lick the floor and it still tastes like syrup."

Glimmer's eye was twitching, "You were licking the floor?!"

That only incited more laughter from Adora, "Man, you guys are soooooooo crazy! It was just a metaphor. I mean spilling syrup, that's so weird!"

Sora blinked, "Wait, that sounds more like a simile."

Bow shook his head, "No dude, when you use the word 'like,' it becomes a metaphor. If you use the word 'as' for example, then it's a simile."

"Oh."

Glimmer rubbed her temples, "Geez, the day barely started and already I don't know how much more of this I can take."

Adora's attention was soon drawn to the food laid out on the dining table, "Oh! Oh! Look! The food is sooooo small and cute!" She literally leapt from Sora and landed on the table, almost looking like a cat, and then started to make a mess from playing with the animal shaped food.

"No! That's a bad Adora! We don't play with our food like that!" Sora grabbed her by her midsection and pulled her off the table where she struggled and flailed about.

"No, stop! I want to play with the tiny animals!"

Bow rushed to Glimmer's side as Sora dealt with the looney girl. "Glimmer! Adora is still crazy!"

"Yeah, how about you put that on a memo and title it 'Something everyone already knows!'"

Bow facepalmed, "I know, you know! But what I'm trying to get at is what are we gonna do?! She's our friend and our best chance at stopping the Horde. We gotta snap her out of this!"

"I don't know what to do!" she whined as she sat down and covered her face. "I'm terrified of mom's reaction when she finds out about this. Aside from losing our friend, the revival of the Princess Alliance was completely hinged on She-Ra. Without her, it's gonna fall apart before it even really begins. When that happens, the Horde is gonna be that much closer to winning and destroying everything!"

"Glimmer, calm down" Bow put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, "First of all, we're gonna get Adora taken care of. Between Sora's space powers and your mom's super wisdom, Adora is gonna be back to normal."

"You...you think so?"

"I know so. Second, it isn't all She-Ra that's helped start the Princess Alliance. Like back in Plumeria, it was Adora, not She-Ra's note that helped inspire Princess Perfuma and her people to come help us. She saw it was a normal, helpless person without any powers trying to charge in and stop the Horde. It's that kind of inspiration that's ultimately going to win the people over, not a legend that most people aren't aware has just returned." Bow gave her a confident thumbs up, "I'm telling you, this war isn't close to over yet, and we are not gonna be on the losing side either!"

Glimmer smiled as she wiped her eyes, she couldn't help but chuckle. "Yeah! I mean, who needs She-Ra to inspire people if you can spit out a speech like that whenever we need it?"

Bow rubbed the back of his head, "You thought it was good? I was thinking the entire time it was coming out so cheesy."

"Adora NOOOO!" They both whipped their heads around as they just caught Sora and Adora falling over and flipping the entire dining room table. Sora quickly pulled himself and the loopy girl up, both a complete mess as food and drinks dripped off from every part of them.

Sora wiped egg yolk from his eyes and looked at the girl licking at her hands and sleeves. He then bonked her on the head three times, "Bad, bad, bad Adora! We don't do that!"

She immediately stopped and looked up at him with big, watery, blue eyes, her hands going to where his fist made contact with before she started wailing. "But the pudding looked so wiggly and mushy! I just wanted to play with it!" She turned around and started running for the door.

Sora facepalmed at this, "You've got to be-I hardly touched you, you big baby! Adora, come baaaaaaack!" He ran after her and disappeared into the hallway.

Glimmer let out a sigh, "Sooooo dodged a bullet by handing her off to him."

"I'll go let the staff know about the mess. I'll go check on Entrapta, too. She's still in her lab trying to fix what she can."

"And I'll go find and help get Adora cleaned up. Then we can get going. Hopefully mom can get this whole mess fixed."

Glimmer, Bow and a wagon toting Entrapta walked down the road back to Bright Moon with light conversation accompanying them, mostly between the archer and the inventor. Glimmer for the most part tried to keep an eye on her two other friends as they lagged behind somewhat.

When they all left the castle, Princess Entrapta had thrown together a comfortable harness and leash for Adora to wear. Getting it on was easy with how clingy she was, but the moment they were on the road, she tried to make a break for it, trying to see and touch everything she could with her tongue. They were quick to give the leash to Sora, making him the responsible guardian for the day. He was easily the only one with the strength and energy to keep up with the now literal woman child/formerly trained Horde Force Captain.

Fortunately, she eventually tuckered herself out and Sora was carrying her piggyback style. He looked a little worse for wear from everything that transpired in the past twenty-four hours.

Glimmer decided to let Bow and Entrapta chat as she slowed down to walk alongside Sora and a sleeping Adora. "So, Sora, how are you holding up?"

He let out a yawn, "Eh, you know, nothing a nap wouldn't fix. This did make me wonder if this is what it's like to have a little brother or sister? Mind you my kid sibling wouldn't have special forces training or be practically a grown adult, but still..."

Glimmer giggled at that, "Yeah, I can imagine kids being a handful, but I always wanted a sibling, older or younger. Did you ever want a brother or sister?"

"Hmmm, not really. I've had Riku as a best friend for as long as I can remember, so I was rarely ever alone. Then when I met Kairi, the company I always had around only just doubled. Growing up in a big castle though, being a Princess and all, I'm sure you've had plenty of lonely moments."

"Yeah...I was almost twelve when I first became friends with Bow. It kind of sucked until then."

"Yeah, you guys seem pretty close. Awesome to have a best friend isn't? Can't imagine not ever having mine...Sooooo, about you and Bow~"

Like a flip of a switch, the entirety that was Glimmer began to glow with pink energy. "Wha, me and who, I mean, errr, who and Bow, uh, heh! What are we talking about?!"

"Oh come now" Sora said in a high voice before reaching over and pinched at Glimmer's cheek, "I've seen how you look at him."

"What? Looking at him like anyone would look at their best friend?" she whispered angrily while letting Bow and Entrapta get further ahead.

"Come on, I've seen you throwing sideway glances at Bow whenever something 'romantic' ever came up."

"Sh-sh-sh-shhhh" She grabbed his shoulder as she hushed him, "Not so loud, you jerk." She looked further up, it seemed that the other two were too far to hear them. "I do not have a crush on Bow, so you might as well give up on that idea from now."

Sora looked a little surprised, "Wait, crush? Who said anything about that?"

Glimmer's pink glow returned, "Wha? But-but-but you said, you were saying-"

Sora bumped her with his hip, "Relax, Glim, I'm messing with you. About me pretending to imply something else, not the 'you have a crush' part."

Glimmer covered her face with her hands and moaned. Both she and Sora couldn't tell if she was more embarrassed or enraged.

There was a small pause as they came up with blanks on what to talk about. They were quiet for about a minute before Sora yelped in pain and surprise, "Gah! She bit my neck again!"

"What?!" She looked over, and indeed, Adora's mouth was clamped shut on the side of his neck. It looked like she was trying to chew on him.

"Please tell me you've got some snacks on you? I already used up all the ones I brought with me on her last time she did this, but she still keeps biting!"

Glimmer quickly searched her pockets before pulling out a wrapped cupcake in the shape of a kitty cat. "Still got one from breakfast!"

"Okay, pull her off of me!"

She tried to pull at Adora's head, but she bit down harder before tightening her grip. Glimmer had the idea of waving the sugary treat under her nose for her to get a whiff. It worked. Her teeth let go before she sniffed after the sweet.

"Careful, I almost lost a finger earlier."

Glimmer blinked before pulling back. Just in time, too, because Adora's teeth snapped close in the empty space where her fingers just were. She looked determined and watched carefully as Adora's mouth opened again. Right away she plopped the treat in successfully.

"Yes! I did it! Whoo!" Glimmer cheered. The good feeling didn't last long before she suddenly found mush spit up on her face.

"Ew, gross. She hadn't done that to me yet" Sora commented, not much sympathy in his voice.

Glimmer felt her eyes twitch uncontrollably as she felt the last bit of her patience die out. "THAT IS IT! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!"

Bow and Entrapta turned around at her shouting and ran back to them. "Glimmer, what's going on?!"

"'What's going on?!' It's her!" She pointed at Adora, who was snuggling back up on Sora. "This whole thing in driving me CRAZY!"

"Uh, yeah, how do you think I feel?" Sora added.

"And I still don't understand how you haven't snapped?! But you know what we haven't tried yet?! Trying to knock some literal sense into her!" Glimmer let her fist glow with magic as she approached Adora.

"Whoa, whoa there, Princess Glimmer!" Entrapta rushed in front of her and held her back. "Causing physical trauma to the noggin to repair an instability problem like this, while tempting, is extremely inadvisable. This isn't some play where someone smacks someone else on the head with a frying pan and poof, back to normal! You could make her condition worse."

"Plus she's sleeping. Not very cool."

"Don't care! Gonna do it!" Glimmer blinked from existence before reappearing behind Sora. He tried to move Adora out of the way, but he was caught too off guard by the suddenness of the whole ordeal. Glimmer landed her punch on the side of her head, knocking the three of them on the ground.

Adora's eyes snapped open before flashing different colors while her face began to spasm. She blinked and clutched her head. "OW! Glimmer, the heck was that for?!"

Everyone gaped at her. "Wait, Adora, are you back to normal?"

Entrapta's hair scratched at her chin, "Huh, I'll be darned."

Adora kept rubbing at her head, "Ow. Normal? What's that supposed to mean?"

Bow's head popped in. "Wait, you don't remember?"

She looked at him oddly, "Remember what?...Wait, what?" She suddenly became aware of her surroundings.

"Adora, what's the last thing you remember?" Sora asked her next.

"Umm…" She looked down as she tried to think, she then noticed the harness around her chest. She followed it to Sora's hand. "Why the hell do you have me on a leash like some sort of pet?!"

Everyone looked to each other before sounding "Uhhhhh" in perfect unison. They weren't sure if that the truth was a good idea for Adora's sake.

"Well, we are only an hour away from my castle, and like I said, it records everything that happens inside." She leaned in before muttering loudly, "It will be hilarioooous~"

Adora did not look amused. "Okay, what happened?"

Sora and Bow whistled nonchalantly while Glimmer looked even more uncomfortable. "Soooo, about that last thing you remember~"

She took a deep breath before exhaling, she did not like where this was going. "Okay, let's see...I remember that we were...fighting a bunch of evil robots...WAIT! We were fighting a bunch of evil robots! What the heck happened?!"

Everyone looked to each other again, feeling at their most uncomfortableness. "Uhhhhhhh."

"Somebody here has some explaining to do!"

"Oh boy."

Sora stepped up and addressed everyone. "Okay guys, let's see a show of hands. Who here thinks it's a good idea to go back and show Adora the recordings?"

Adora of course raised her hand, everyone else were hesitant.

"Okay, first of all, sorry Adora, your vote doesn't count." She crossed her arms and pouted. "So who thinks it's a good idea to just keep going and pretend none of this ever happened?"

Once more, no one raised their hand while looking hesitant and bothered.

Sora let out an exasperated sigh, "Okay, how about this: Who thinks, while not a good idea, but just out of morbid curiosity of Adora's reaction, we should go back and watch those recordings?"

At that, everyone raised their hands. Adora gulped nervously. What the heck happened that everyone was acting the way they were? Tip toeing at first to try to avoid stepping on a mine, now this?

It would be three hours later when they would once again leaving Entrapta's castle, but with a mortified Adora covering her face with her hands while keeping a decent distance from everyone.

"Alrighty, show of hands again. Who else regretted that?" Sora asked, already raising his hand.

At that, everyone's hands shot up and everyone sounded off "Me."

After that, no one said a thing till they reached Bright Moon in the late afternoon.

As soon as they passed the gates, they began to split up. Adora went straight to her room and didn't come out for the rest of the day, and Glimmer, of course, had to report to her mother and without a doubt received another scolding. That left Sora and Bow with an excited Entrapta, who was more than overly ready to see the remains of the Gummi Ship. Sora was still a little unsure of the pig-tailed Princess, he wasn't going to forget about how he was nearly strangled to death by her, even if it was an accident. Bow on the other hand was nearly as excited as the Princess.

Entrapta hopped around Sora, almost looking like a rabbit with her pigtails up in the air. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I am so excited! Aren't you guys excited?! Of course Sora wouldn't be excited, this is your ship after all!" She climbed the front of his shirt and grabbed his face, a thin trail of saliva was running down from her lips. "You get to see it and ride it all the time through space, the final frontier! Did I mention that I was excited?! Gosh I am so EXCITED!"

Bow brought his arms and shoulders in, "Oh man, this is gonna be so cool! Here I am, about to work on an actual spaceship with one of the best minds in our time!"

The two seemed to be excited, Sora dryly noted to himself, he blinked in surprise as the Princess's pigtail shot out to fish a video recorder out of her wagon and shoved it into his hands. "Here! I NEED to document everything and anything that's gonna happen! I mean, COME ON! A real-life alien spaceship! Quick question, am I drooling? I think I'm drooling"

"A little, yeah." Sora sighed, "So, that's probably a no on waiting till tomorrow morning to get to work, huh?"

Bow nodded, "I know! I just can't wait either!"

A/N: Another chapter out! This was originally part of the last chapter, but felt it was enough to be its own, if a tad shorter in comparison. We'll be getting back on track in the next chapter, so hang on tight. As always, leave a review or PM to let me know what you guys think!
