Less than an hour later, they arrived on the planet that had the fuel crystals they need for their ship. Y/N, Glimmer, Bow, and Adora got off the ship but Entrapta decided to stay behind.

"Try not to make a big mess, Entrapta, we'll be back soon," Bow said. The princess groaned. "Fineeee! I won't touch anything, I promise," she replied. Bow crossed his arms and smiled. "Sure."

Bow turned away and joined his friends in the distance.

"This planet looks so... gloomy," Glimmer said. "Yeah, I've never seen anything like it," Y/N said. Bow looked up at her. "You haven't seen anything like it as in... you've seen others?" He asked. "Of course! Imperial guard training involves flying space ships and exploring planets," Y/N replied as if it was obvious. But then blushed when she realized what she had said.

"Imperial what?" Glimmer asked. Y/N blinked her way out of her thoughts.

"It's just this thing... that people do on my planet. Not everyone though, it's only optional. But... I was the only one who couldn't participate in it no matter how bad I wanted to," The princess explained.

"Why weren't you allowed?" Adora asked, suddenly interested in the conversation. Anything that had to do with Y/N's past Adora wanted to hear. Who is Y/N really?

"Because my mom thinks that princesses shouldn't fight to protect their kingdom but by staying behind their castle walls safe and protected while the rest of the planet burns," Y/N replied, forcing a smile.

Glimmer chuckles and sighs. "Your mom kind of reminds me of my mom except I was actually allowed to fight and she made me commander," she said. Y/N watched her in awe.

"I used to think she hated me too," Glimmer began. Y/N opened her mouth to protest but Glimmer continued to speak. "But I realized she was just afraid she'd lose me like she lost my dad. But then it was kinda the other way around..."

The aura between them became sad and gloomy. "Wait, you lost both of your parents?" Y/N asked. "My dad, a long time ago and my mom, about a year ago," Glimmer replied. Adora's mind remembered the thing that Shadow Weaver told her in that first ones ruin just a month ago. She had to tell Glimmer... hopefully soon.

"I lost my dad when I was young too. I barely remember him," Y/N said. They were all silent until Bow cleared his throat.

"Back onto the topic of crystals... I literally see nothing here," he said. The three girls began to look around and noticed the same thing.

"But my tracker pad is picking it up so it has to be here somewhere," he said. Just then, the ground began to shake and a huge crack appeared.

"Guys watch out!"Adora yelled. Bow pulled Glimmer away and Y/N followed them. But when she turned around, she could see Adora frozen in place. Before she could stop herself, she reached for Adora's hand.

She could hear Bow call her name but she didn't turn around causing both her and Adora to fall in.

(On Etheria)

It hasn't been long since Bow, Adora and Entrapta left Etheria but to their friends, it felt like forever. They kept wondering if they were or okay, if they reached Glimmer or if they were captured by Horde Prime.

Frosta kept suggesting that they were probably kidnapped by space pirates. It frightened Perfuma the most. It was when Mermista told her that she'd sell the ice princess to space pirates that quieted her down.

"Can you stop suggesting every bad thing and start thinking about the good things?" Mermista asked. "Since when are you so positive?" The ice princess snapped back. "Since like... right now!" Mermista replied. "Guys! Fighting with each other won't make any of us feel better!" Perfuma said. The two of them went silent. They were all tired which meant that they were snapping at each other every now and then. But deep down, they all knew that as soon as their friends got back, everything would be fine.
