They'd done it.
The four of them - Catra, Adora, Glimmer, and Bow, laid there laughing on the grass for several minutes, just letting the joy, the adrenaline, the utter relief wash over them. They'd done it. After so many years, after so many millions of miles, after so much sacrifice, Etheria finally had peace.
As the Best Friends Squad lay intertwined, the celebrations around them were deafening. Cheers and embraces, dancing and kissing. People thrilled to be free, to be alive.
After a long while, Bow was finally the one to break the quartet's quiet celebration "Uh, guys?"
"What?" Glimmer said, running her hand along his arm.
"We, um, just said we were gonna take a road trip, right? To, uh...to space?"
"Yeah..." Glimmer said. Adora and Catra seemed to be in their own little world.
"Well, I don't know if we've got any other ships lying around, but...um...Darla's kind of a wreck right now. I don't think she'll be getting us far."
Glimmer sighed. "Let's not worry about that right now, okay?" She rolled onto her side and allowed her head to rest on his chest. "I just wanna stay right here."
Bow couldn't help but grin. And having Glimmer's head on his chest, her hand gently tickling his bare stomach...
He really hoped nobody was looking at him right now.
Lying at their right, Adora and Catra were motionless, except for their breathing, eyes closed and hands interwoven.
Adora felt just a little overwhelmed. Only minutes ago, she had felt hopeless. She was going to give everything up. Her strength, her future, her life...
And then Catra. Catra had shown her that she didn't have to give any of that up. The only thing she had to give up was the one thing she could give up without actually losing it.
