The other girl

Reunion (part 3)

Claire

"Bow, what is going on?" Adora asked.

"My dads don't know I'm a Revellion fighter. They think I'm at boarding school. I'm supposed to be on break." Bow responded.

"So, this is why you never talked about your past? I thought it was dark and painful, like Claire's."

"Thanks for bringing that up, Glimmer." I said sarcastically.

She ignored me and kept talking, "but your dads seem so nice and normal."

"Look, I lived my dads, okay? I never mentioned them, because they decided when I was a kid that I was gonna stay home, take over the library when they retire. But I wanted to travel, to fight. So, I did the only thing I could. I taught myself archery, ran away, and pretended I was at a made-up boarding school."

"That seems really elaborated, Bow." Adora said.

"You saw what they're like. They don't listen. They assume they know what I want. And if Lance knew I didn't want to be a historian... Worse, if George knew that I'm a Rebellion soldier fighting alongside Princesses, it'd kill them."

"So, you're gonna lie to them forever?" Glimmer said.

"Not forever. Just for the foreseeable future. It's worked so far. Please. For me?" Bow gave those baby eyes that I couldn't resist. It was my one weakness.

"Oh, come on guys. Let's just help Bow out." I pleaded.

"Fine." Glimmer agreed.

"Besides, my dad have the biggest collection of First Ones artifacts and writings in Etheria. This is the perfect place to look for answers about She-Ra, the Mara message, Serenia, everything."

"Really, I want to see them!" I yelled with excitement.

"I'm starting to think you should take over the library."

I could hear Glimmer mutter something about this being a disaster, but i didn't think it was going to be.

Until Bow opened his mouth, "By the way, I may have said in my letters that Glimmer is a physics major, Adora is an art art major, Claire is a double major with history and literature, nobody is a Princess or had magical powers,  and we all met freshmen year. Okay? Let's go."
