Preparing for the Biggest Princess Party
Jack is seen training at the back courtyard swinging his sword for some early morning training to keep himself in fighting shape to be ready for anything, and then Spinneralla and Netossa comes in with cheerful smiles.
"Jack! Jack! You're never gonna believe what we just received from mail!" Netossa said.
"Is it that new zipline boots you asked Entrapta to make you? I heard that was still on hold." Jack guessed as he put his sword back in its sheath.
"Nope, it's even better!" Spinneralla giggled.
"Though I wish the girl would hurry up with those boots." Netossa muttered to herself.
"We got invite to the Princess Prom!" The princess wives showed their scrolls and dance around Jack.
"Okay, are you two going to tell me what this "Princess Prom" is or am I going to have grab your butts to calm you down." Jack giggled as he wrap his arms around their waist.
"What's stopping you from doing that?" Spinneralla smiled kissing him on the lips.
"Sorry, sorry, it just the Princess Prom is THE biggest party in all of Etheria where every princesses gather together in one place. There's the usual dancing, fancy dresses, and some good food." Netossa started explaining.
"Huh, sounds like something similar I heard about from some places." Jack said, recalling how in his old home world in America that schools there hold dance events.
"Well, this one is even better. Boom!" Netossa bragged.
"So big that it's only every ten years." Spinneralla mentioned.
"What? Only ten years, why does it have to be like every decade?" Jack asked surprise that a party could be that long.
"Because there are lots of responsibilities the other princesses do and other things, but even if it's so long the wait is worth to attend." Spinneralla said smiling.
"According to the invitation, the Snow Kingdom is in charge of hosting this year's party with Princess Frosta at the center." Netossa showed the invite unrolling.
"Wow, that is a really long invitiation!" Jack shocked.
"Princess Prom is a big deal, and there are rules we need to go over with you before we head out." Netossa said with one arm around his neck.
"I'm not sure about going, big fancy things aren't exactly my forte." Jack stated, feeling a bit nervous.
"Don't worry, we'll be with you ever step of the way and the others will also be coming, so you'll have plenty of friends keeping your company." Netossa assured.
"Everyone, does that include Adora?" Jack asked.
"I believe so, even though Adora isn't exactly a princess by birthrights, she is still She-Ra the Princess of Power and everyone knows how mighty She-Ra is." Spinneralla pointed out.
"I guess it would be fun to see Adora dancing, I just hope nothing goes bad during the dance." Jack concerned.
"Not to worry, nothing ever happens at the dance and any idiots wouldn't dare to try anything when there are powerful princesses attending." Netossa flexed her arms.
Jack thought about this for a moment with how powerful Spinneralla and Netossa are in their own rights and when fighting together, plus the other princesses like Mermista and Perfuma will be there as well that can help alongside She-Ra to make sure the party doesn't go wrong.
"Alright, I can get down with that." Jack said.
"Glad to see you're on board because a princess can also bring in a Plus One to the party with them. Spinneralla and I usually go together until you showed up and we've been doing a reasonable debit on who you should go with." Netossa mentioned calmly.
"We played rock-paper-scissor. And I won." Spinneralla revealed smiling.
"Hey! No need to brag about it!" Netossa yelled.
"Somehow, I'm not surprise by that." Jack chuckled and kissed Netossa on the lips for a second cheering her up.
"So, if I'm going with Spinneralla as her Plus One then who will you be going with?" Jack asked the net energy woman.
"Well, I was thinking about asking Castaspella to come, but she's probably busy with Mystacor though there is this one girl Spinneralla recommended." Netossa answered.
"I just hope Flora doesn't mind coming." Spinneralla said.
Jack wasn't sure if Spinneralla has really thought this through about inviting the strong red hair girl even though they became good when they last saw them, but it probably wouldn't hurt to invite a friend like her.
"Well, my first Princess Prom is gonna be an experience I'll never forget. And there won't be any Hordes attacking us tonight too." Jack smiled.
Netossa and Spinneralla look at each other for a moment when Jack just mention the Horde which got them concern since there is something about the Horde that Jack doesn't know about, but they hope that they don't have to tell him at such an eventful night. At least not yet.
"Come on, then! We got to get you all dress up for the big dance!" Spinneralla pulled Jack by the arm dragging him into the castle to start the dress.
"(This is suddenly reminding me of this girl I know back on earth who really likes to play dress-up, even forcing me and others to dress up.)" Jack thought recalled one girl on earth.
(Frightzone, Scorpia's Room)
Catra is pacing in circles within her room within Scorpia's room because the cat girl has no one else to talk to and because Scorpia didn't mind the company.
"I'm sick of this. Shadow Weaver failed to get Adora from Mystacor, and if Hordak finds out she'll take us down with her. She's obsessed. We need to think big picture. It's time for someone new to take over. Me. So, you in?" Catra asked Scorpia.
"I'm hanging out in your room!" Scorpia chuckled, trying to brighten the moon.
"Unfortunately, you're the only one I can trust around here." Catra sighed.
"Because we're best friends." Scorpia believed giggling.
"Stop being so you and help me think. I have the beginning of a plan, but it's not enough. I need to capture Adora so Shadow Weaver doesn't demote me. I need to impress Hordak so he'll make me the new Shadow Weaver. How do I do both?" Catra asked.
"Don't forget about Samurai Jack, he definitely proven himself to be a really be wall for the Horde to get through." Scorpia reminded her of Jack.
"I was actually thinking he's an obstacle, but your way seems a little better." Catra admitted.
"Yeah, not to mention he's a handsome wall." Scorpia blurted out with her cheeks blushing a bit.
"Yeah, he's not bad looking." Catra grinned, leaning on the pole of her bed.
"Wait, what did you just say?" Catra asked shock.
"What's the what?" Scorpia realized what she just said out loud and quickly try to change the subject.
"H-Hey… Why don't you try something at the All-Princess Ball? Every princess is gonna be there, so Adora probably will be too. Ooh! This year's theme is Winter Wonderland." Scorpia pulled up the Princess Prom invite scroll.
This definitely got Catra's attention and snatched the scroll from her hand.
"How did you get your claws on this?" Catra asked as she looks at the scroll.
"They sent it to me. I'm a princess." Scorpia answered honestly.
"You're a princess?!" Catra gasped. One of the very rulers of Etheria that are the Horde's sworn enemy is a Force Captain of the Horde, did not see that coming.
"Yeah, you know. The Horde crash landed in my family's kingdom. We let them stay. My family gave Hordak our runestone, the Black Garnet." Scorpia explained the Horde and her kingdom's origin.
"You're a princess?!" Catra repeated still gasp.
"Oh man, I thought everyone knew. I mean, it's covered in Force Captain Orientation." Scorpia mentioned.
"I'm beginning to think I shouldn't have skipped that." Catra said, wondering what else the orientation had more information she could've learned.
"Okay, so you're a princess, and you're going to a princess ball." Catra guessed as she handed the scroll back to the scorpion woman.
"Oh no. I'm not going. No. No one liked my family, even before we joined The Horde. I never really fit with the other princesses. I made them uncomfortable, and they don't like that. They don't like me." Scorpia explained with a sad face, the face of someone being alone.
Catra feel a similarity from Scorpia that she didn't like being alone makes her feel about how did not want to be alone, this also got her thinking back on Jack's words about her afraid of being alone and wanted Adora back to not feel alone anymore.
Then Catra got an idea that could work both ways to help Scorpia not feel alone anymore and do those two plans she mentioned earlier.
"And that's exactly why you have to go! How dare they pretend they're better just because you're different! How dare they abandon people just because they don't fit into their perfect little lives!" Catra talked high and spirited as she stands up on her bed.
"Yeah!" Scorpia agreed, feeling a little confident in her.
"How dare they take best friends and turn them into giant sword ladies who run off with people clearly inferior to you?" Catra said, referring to herself and Adora and those rebel fools.
"You're telling my whole life with your words." Scorpia smiled, maybe or maybe not getting what Catra just said.
"It's time to show those princesses a thing or two! You're going, I'm coming as your plus one and we'll make this a night no one will ever forget!" Catra determined with a smirk.
"Super Pal Duo is going to prom!" Scorpia cheered as she hugs Catra tightly.
Catra groans in pain from the strong, bone-crushing hug though she smiles upon seeing Scorpia smiles with some new confident in herself and maybe this chance will also get her to meet with both Adora and Jack to see how she'll feel upon this meet.
(With Jack)
"Huh, I don't know… This just feels off for me." Jack said looking at himself in the mirror wearing an odd light blue and green suit with some fluff on the wrists, ankles, and on the shirt.
"Yeah, that's what I thought too." Spinneralla agreed.
"I'm not even sure why we have that in the first place." Netossa exclaimed, feeling a bit weird of seeing that suit.
"Don't worry, we still have some other suits to try on before the dance." Spinneralla assured and knowing they have plenty of time before the Princess Prom.
"I hope it's something I can actually weird and not squeeze my neck." Jack concerned.
"NOW, NOW, YOU-SHOULD-BE-CALM-ABOUT-THIS-AND-JUST-ENJOY-THE-MOMENT-TO-IMPRESS-THE-LADIES." Blue Beep stated with a smile.
"So true, Blue Beep." Spinneralla nodded.
"Now come, we should go try on our own dresses so we can be ready." Spinneralla said to her dark skin wife.
"Oh yeah, we're going to be dress up so damn sexy that we'll be turning heads tonight!" Netossa smirked as the two walks away.
"(I wonder how Adora is doing right now, probably thinking hard on how to get ready for her first Princess Prom through charts and stuff.)" Jack thought while taking off the suit.
"I'm sure she's just being nervous. Good thing she has Glimmer and Bow to keep her calm." Jack smiled as he looks out the window.
(With Glimmer)
"But… I liked our thing." Glimmer said sadden. She just found out that Bow is going to the Princess Prom with Perfuma who asked him to go with her some time ago and he agreed to go with her.
As long as Glimmer can remember, she and Bow have always done stuff together since they were kids and she hoped they would go together to the prom except now that has been through out the window.
But then her sad thoughts has been interrupted when Adora pop out from her room that Glimmer happens to be in front.
"Glimmer! Good. No time to waste!" Adora pulled the Bright Moon princess into her showing to have some charts and writing.
Yeah, Adora has been doing some deep studying about the Princess Prom ever since Glimmer and Bow explained to her about what kind of party the event it.
"I've been studying the invite. I think advance prep will be key to success. So, I've divided the rules into base parts. Dance rules, etiquette rules, rules for greeting the hostess." Adora said holding a pointer stick as Glimmer sits down and gave her some cards.
"I then broke down the ballroom into quadrants and I'm familiarizing myself with targets. Ask me anything." Adora smiled.
"Princess Frosta?" Glimmer said the name of the Snow Kingdom's ruler on the card.
"Ruler of The Kingdom of Snows, it's her first time hosting the ball, has the biggest kingdom outside of Bright Moon, neutral in the fight against the Horde. Allies with the Star Sisters who are friends with Mermista, but not Sweet Bee who is dating Peekablue as you can tell by the string. Up means friends, down means frenemies." Adora explained what she just learned about.
Glimmer is a little weirded out of how much Adora knows about all of this and maybe this could be a little too much.
"And also, I made an obstacle course! I'm feeling good! I'm prepared for any and all possible scenarios. I am so ready for this Ball." Adora showed the "obstacle course" behind her chart.
"Does that mean you're ready to dance with Jack?" Glimmer asked in a teasing tone.
This causes Adora to flinch in shock of the question with her cheeks turning red and her heart racing with the fantasy in her head of them dancing together while being surrounded by stars.
"O-Of course, I'm ready for whatever the Princess Prom has to throw!" Adora answered while trying to calm down her heart.
"Great! What are you wearing?" Glimmer asked, feeling a bit proud now that Adora is looking forward to her Princess Prom.
"I was just gonna go as She-Ra. I mean, she has better hair." Adora hoped, and also thought her She-Ra form has the better dress.
"Well, you can't go as She-Ra. They have a strict no weapons rule. Neutral ground and all. So, you'll have to leave your sword at the door." Glimmer revealed the "No Weapon" rule within the scroll.
"Ugh, how are there still more parts to this invite?" Adora cursed herself for not seeing this through more.
"You know what this means?" Glimmer asked gasping.
"That clothes aren't important, and I should keep studying?" Adora guessed as she looks at her chart again.
"It's makeover time!" Glimmer cheered of excitement.
Through the next few hours, everyone is getting themselves ready for the Princess Prom in their own way together or alone.
Glimmer wind Adora's hair into a bun hair style with a gold pin and pulls out a big pink puffy dress in front seeing if it looks good on her, but saw that it wasn't working for her and the princess tries to look for another dress. But saw Adora back in her tent to study more.
Catra is checking herself out in a mirror wearing a red coloring theme suit for guys because she didn't like dresses thinking they're stupid. She turn to see Scorpia in a black gothic dress with little red bowties, they both laugh seeing how silly it is.
Box is checking himself out of the tuxedo he is going to wear though felt something that needed to be done, or remove as he took out the cummerbund.
Jack is seen wearing an all white suit though he didn't feel right about wearing this as he thinks it's too bright and plain for his taste. Netossa is trying to pick which high-heel shoes to wear, the dark blue or the light blue and it was a hard choice until Spinneralla comes in picking the light blue shoes which made Netossa happy.
Glimmer dress Adora in another pink dress while the She-Ra woman herself is still studying up for the prom.
Scorpia tries on anther dress, which was sillier than the last one, but also weird to Catra as she didn't like it.
Bow meets up with Perfuma at her kingdom and present her with a necklace, the flower princess gave him a garland but it was too big and that got her make them smaller into smaller pins.
Catra is waiting impatiently until she saw Scorpia with her hair slicked back and wore a black dress. This surprises Catra is how amazing and foxy the scorpion has become now, and knew this is the night no one will ever forget.
"Yes, now this is a suit I can get down with." Jack smiled as he is now wearing the black suit and white tie.
"Now, time to hit the dancefloor." Jack smiled.
