...

Darla zipped throughout space, going past all the stars and formations that were laid out in the cosmos.

...

Adora was sitting in the captain's chair, her eyes clenched shut, trying to focus her energy.

"Okay, She-Ra," she breathed out, straining a little, "I know you're in there."

...

...

She began to summon the magic, grunting with exertion as she opened her eyes, a bright blue glow coming from them.

"Oh!" Bow suddenly cheered, causing Adora to yell in fear, panting as she tried to recollect herself.

"You almost had it!"

"WILL YOU STOP DISTRACTING ME?" Adora glared at him, frustrated.

...

It was worth mentioning that Glimmer had joined in as well, on Adora's other side.

...

...

"Sorry, but there was definitely some glowy action there!" He pointed out as Adora sat facing forward, still annoyed.

"Come on, Adora!" Glimmer began, going to the side of the chair, "You can't let distractions keep you from transforming!"

Adora exchanged a 'I know that' sort of look with her before Catra's voice cut through.

...

...

"What's going on?"

She had a different outfit on, ridding herself of the sleeve and having a sleeveless top with her leggings.

"Ooh! Are we messing with Adora?" She circled around and plopped herself into Adora's lap. She loved the idea of driving Adora nuts sometimes.

...

"Catra, do you have to sit right there?" Adora was getting a little more annoyed, a brow raised.

"What? I'm not doing anything," she had her arms crossed, smirking.

"Adora, concentrate!" Glimmer spoke up again.

...

"Yeah, Adora. Concentrate!" Catra teased.

"You can do it!" Bow cheered her on with a wide smile as Catra's tail waved about in her face, purring.

Adora, still not exactly happy, or focused, for that matter, swatted away her tail gently, and put her hand out.

...

She strained for a moment, her eyes shut. Then, the glow came back, and some sort of phantom glow began to pool in Adora's hand, taking the shape of her sword.

It seemed to be working , Glimmer, Bow, and Catra all looking on in awe and curiosity.

But just as she figured she'd have it down, Entrapta came in, holding her beeping tracker pad, "This way!"

...

Adora yelped, losing her focus and groaning with irritation.

"Oh! Hi, Adora! Don't mind us," She had Wrong Hordak with her, holding an antenna that was attached to the tablet.

"Entrapta, do you have to do that in here?" Adora's voice wavered, sounding really close to losing it.
