Adora is laying on the floor in her tent. Bow comes in with a tray and I'm behind him with a cup of coffee in my hand.

"Hey, sleepyhead, you hungry?"

Bow screams and drops the tray.

"What happened? Are you okay?"

"She isn't sleeping is what happened." I reply.

"I gotta go...save Glimmer."

She groans and drops back onto the floor.

"My body is betraying me."

"No, you’re exhausted. That's what happens to regular people when they keep throwing themselves into battle and refusing to sleep."

Adora is still on the floor, and her head turns to Bow and me,
"I hate it."

"Come on, you just need to rest."

Bow helps Adora back onto her bed].

Adora sighs.

Her head hits the pillow and her eyes start closing slowly.

"Now, close your eyes and-" Bow gets cut off by Frosta,

"IS SHE DEAD?"

"What? No!" I reply.

Frosta, slightly agitated, says,
"Okay, good, ‘cause Adora normally does the planning and we were wondering if there was a plan--"

Bow, quietly, almost whispering, answers,
"Listen, the upgrades to Mara’s ship are done, but we can’t go anywhere until Adora’s back on her feet."

He turns to Adora.

"Now, close your eyes and everyone will--"

Swift Wind rips open triangle in Adora’s tent to stick his head in.

"Did someone say Swift--" I clasp my hands over Swift Wind’s mouth.

"Wind?"

Micah opens the tent's flap.

"Is Adora feeling better? Did you tell her and Y/n about Horde Prime’s message?"

Bow sweats as Micah comes close to his face.

"Does she know he’s looking for her and Y/n?"

"What's that?" Adora jolts up.

"Okay, that’s enough." I take over.

"Adora, rest!"

"Swift Wind, head!"

Swift Wind shoves down Adora’s head to the pillow and Adora grunts.

"Everybody, be quiet for once!"

"She will be fine soon, right?"

"Yes. She just needs sleep." Bow says.

Everyone but me and Bow exit the tent. We hear Adora snoring softly on the bed.

Bow smiles and Entrapta comes in, Bow’s expression turns annoyed.

"Adora sick log, day three!" she enthusiastically says, holding a recorder.

I push Entrapta out the tent.

"Nope!"

Entrapta wails,
"Wait! But it’s for science!"

"She's not a piece of machinery!" I yell back.

Adora wakes up and gasps, picking up the hilt of the sword.

She looks at it solemnly and puts it down, facing the tent flap.

Bow shoves open the flap and I run in from behind.

"Adora!" we both yell in unison.

"Bow, Y/n, wow, you were right. I just needed some sleep. I feel great!"

I kneel and pant.

"Good. Because we're on a call with Mermista and she’s saying--" Bow stops himself and shows Adora the screen.

"Get to the ship!"

Entrapta takes over,
"We found her! We found Glimmer!"

Mermista shoves her out of the way,
"But also, we found out that Horde Prime is sending more ships to Etheria today. If you don’t leave now, you can’t leave, period. So, uh...RUN!"

Me, Bow and Adora watch in surprise and on the last word, we turn to face each other.














The princesses, Adora, Bow, Swift Wind and Micah are running towards Mara’s ship.

Micah speaks,
"We’re exposed here. We need to make these goodbyes quick."

Adora turns and her eyes widen. The princesses look at her in concern, Mermista lifts her head slightly.

Adora hugs Mermista, much to her surprise.

"We’ll be back as soon as we can." Adora breaks the hug.

"The Rebellion is in good hands."

Mermista starts blushing.

"Yeah, turns out I’m an awesome leader, so we’re gonna be fine."

Mermista hugs Entrapta with one arm, around her neck.

"And Entrapta helped. You’re still a weirdo, but you did good today. We’ve got your back anytime."

Entrapta looks at the other princesses and they all nod in agreement, Entrapta blushes and starts brimming at the eye with tears, Adora smiles and Bow is trying hard not to cry, and he starts sobbing and pulls all of us into a hug. Swift Wind bites the back of Adora’s collar and pulls her away.

"Adora, I-- I’m not going to-- Oh! I don’t know how to say this."

"You’re staying here."

"I don’t belong on a ship. I belong on Etheria, protecting it. And with you gone, someone’s gotta bring the glorious flowing hair."

He laughs then sobs.

"I hope you’re not disappointed in me."

"Are you kidding? I’m proud. You’re exactly where you need to be. I’m not She-Ra anymore."

"But I’ll always be your loyal steed.€ they both smile as drones whir above.

Frosta points upwards,
"Surveillance bots. If they see the ship, they’ll alert the armada and stop us. "

Scorpia asks,
"What’re we gonna do? Are we gonna stay here?"

Mermista looks back at Adora.

"No. We’re getting this ship off Etheria, no matter what. I’ve got an idea." Micah smugly says.















His plan was to make illusion.

He used a spell and made himself look like She-Ra.

He got on top of Swift Wind and started waving the bots over to them.

Me, Bow and Adora were on the ship.

We were happy we were able to get on when we had the chance.

(A/n: I'm sorry that this chapter is short, but the rest of the chapters are going to be longer. I will try to incorporate some of my own ideas when I see the chance. I'm really excited to write 'Shot In The Dark' and 'Save The Cat', those are my favorite episodes from season 5. Heart Part 2 always makes me cry and makes me want to scream because it's the last ever episode of the whole show.
BUT I will be adding more chapter after Heart Part 2 because I don't want to give up on this fanfic lol)
