Narrator POV:
This takes place the Day before they met on the Roof
"We are going to call you from time to time and you will answer the Phone within 5 seconds, understand?"
"Yes, Father" Adora said, her voice in her usual thick as sweet honey voice
"Milena will tell us if you go against our instructions. Behave yourself" his tone of voice dropped low, thick with implications
"Understood, Father. Have a pleasant Trip"
With a slight look of suspicion, Braham Gray took his seat in the luxury Car and told his driver to go. Hilda Gray, Adora's mother only acknowledging her existence with a nod, as she always did. As soon as the Car was out of sight and Adora back in her House, a euphoria she hadn't felt since she was 14 spread inside of her. Her Parents near complete control of her and their general mistrust never let her dream that they would let her alone for 5 whole Days but a surprise conference had forced them to attend and Adora could not be happier. She ran up the Stairs to her Room and grabbed her phone
"They gone?"
"They are G-o-n-e, bitasch...i'm free...for 5 days BUT FREE" she shouted in Glimmer Ear "So what was it you had planned?"
"A surprise. Get dressed to Party and come to my place. I promise you you're gonna like it"
"...am I?" Adora thought but was far too happy to voice her concern "Awesome. See you around 6?"
"Works for me. See you"
Adora hung up and got to work making herself look as amazing as she could, ending up a few Hours later in front of Glimmer's place, dressed in something her Mother would never allow to be in her living room, let alone outside. A white Crop Top with a black Mini skirt and fitting knee Boots, eloquently hidden under a Long jacked was her style of choice....well not completely but it was the only "outrageous" clothing she had on hand and damn she wanted to use it
30 minutes later, the two find themselves in the Town Center, in front of a Bar with the name "Velvet Rose" on its front "That's your surprise? Could have just as well drank at home, Glim"
"Hehe, wait for it" Glimmer walked in, leading her friend to join her. Adora, while skeptical, stepped into the Bar and was surprised by how different it looked from what she had expected. Purple and Orange Wallpaper with the lights tinted in a Red hue, gave the Place less of a "Bar" feel and more of a quiet "underground club" vibe and the smell was less Beer and Whiskey but leaning more to Soap and Vanilla
Adora realized the second she stepped into the Foreroom what place this was and as Glimmer wanted to talk to the Woman standing at the next door, she grabbed her arm "Please tell me you didn't just bring me to a Lesbian Bar, Glimmer. If anyone sees me in here, my Life is going to change in ways you couldn't even imagine"
"Relax, psycho" the smaller Girls argued and got her Arm out of the blonde's grip "That's exactly why we are here..." Glimmer walks up the the Woman who stood there with a warm smile beside a Table with various Items on it "See? They have a Theme going this month in which you have to mask up to get inside"
Adora looked at the Table, seeing 4 different kinds of masks sitting there, that left only the mouth visible and each had a small label beneath each of them. A Dog = Taken, a Tiger = Single, a Cat = rather not disclose and a non animal one like the kind you'd find at Mardi Gras, full of Color and with the label "looking for Fun" beside it
The Woman standing beside the Table let them know that they are free to take one as long as they paid the entering fee. Glimmer was observing her friends reaction carefully, waiting for the moment she'd give in and when Adora sighed, handing the Woman a twenty dollar Bill, she knew she had won "I promise you won't regret it" the girls said while taking a Dog mask
"...we'll see about that" Adora answered putting on the Mardi Gras mask
timeskip 3 hours
As so often when you come drinking with friends, the evening started fun and ended with Adora drunk and alone, sitting in a corner booth. Glimmer had driven her here and had vanished about an hour after they started to drink. In a foggy haze, the blonde had started up several conversations with different patrons but her inability for smalltalk or what others might call "flirting" soon reared its ugly head
"Fuck....I am gonna kill thsat pitch" Adora thought as she lay her Head on the table "Stupid glimemr....tryin to getin me hoocked up with somone"
"Hey there...you're new here aren't you?" A Woman asked her and sat herself beside the blonde
Catra meanwhile had come here to blow off some steam. Her current boredom would be easy to alleviate in her favorite Bar and the event they had going was making this even easier than it usually was. As she downed her 3rd Beer, she saw Synthia, the Bars regular Skirtchaser sit down beside a clearly drunk and very underage Girl "Ohh for fucks sake...I like this place because they don't check for ID but this is just disgusting to look at" she though, ordered another drink and wandered over to the two
As expected, Synthia was already in her spiel about how lonely she had been lately since her GF broke up with her (Which was 6 months ago because she cheated) and how cute the other girl looked and bla bla the same stick Catra had heard oh so many times. Usually, the Hybrid would not give two shits who the bitch took to Bed but when it was literally going to be SA on a drunk minor, something inside her snapped "Oi, Slut"
"Hmm?" Synthia turned to Catra, answering like it had been her name "Get away from her or you gon be sorry"
"Kitty!" She shouted and was about to hug the feline when she felt Catras claw agains her snomach
"No, not in the mood...you leave her alone and go"
"Ehh? Why? Come on, it's no big deal.."
"You want me to call Rose and tell her you just tried to take a... 16 yo home?" Catra asked, guessing Adoras age at a glance
Wordless, Synthia left with a dejected Face. Calling Rose, the owner of this place, was not something Catra would have done lightly but this was definitely a moment in which she would have done so "Hey...are you okay?" she asked, shaking the Girl that was seemingly asleep on the table. Setting down her drink, Catra sat beside her, noticing her potent Perfume that smelled like Vanilla, Elderberry and a hint of Cinnamon "Seems like i'm not the only one with a shit night" Catra muttered looking at the Girl beside her "Well then, guess I gotta find you a driver"
Just as Catra was about to walk over to Otto, the bouncer of the Velvet Rose, Adora woke up and stopped her "Why?"
"Why..what?"
"Wy do you al leve me?" she muttered, only audible to the Cat hybrid who had her hearing focused on her
"Ha, you are the one that's gonna leave right no.." before Catra could so much as finish her sentence, the unknown Girl dragged her towards her in a display of unexpected strength and placed her lips on Catra. The strong smell of her Perfume mixed with far too much Alcohol surrounded her and any attempt to shove her off was met with a resistance like a granite Wall. Just as Catra was ready to slam her Claws into Adoras thigh, the blonde shoved her tongue in, giving the feline pause to think if she might not let this go on for a bit in a "might as well enjoy it" kind of thought but someone else got involved by dragging the drunk one away
"What the hell are you doing you idiot?" Glimmer said, desperately trying to get Adora to stand up "I wanted you to talk not to whore yourself out, damn you"
Catra was done with this "OTTO!!" she shouted and within a second the large Bulldog hybrid stood beside them "We got a handsy one...get her out of here and into a Cab before I skin the bitch"
The whole incident took less than 2 minutes but felt like an hour to Catra who sat on the Bar a few minutes after she made sure the other two had left "What a shit night" she thought, remembering, more than anything, the smell of that girls Perfume "That's what I get for trying to help strangers....still would do it again...Girl can kiss for someone clearly unexperienced"

The next Day was a School day and while Adora didn't remember anything about last night, she knew she was pissed at Glimmer for trying to set her up with Girls again
