Entrapta's newest robot invention was a drone that looked like an actual cute blue bird. It made all the fun whistles and flew lightly around the bedroom she was in. Under the belly of it was the camera for recording vital information. 

She let her extra long hair push her up onto the bed from the floor. It was in braids for the night. She'd been going over every little thing for the next flying object, a hawk. 

A loud knock scared her. "Enter if you dare. " She said, playing with the birds remote. 

"Hey, it's just me." Scorpia's warm tone called out. The door opened and she entered. "Emily has been on the fritz again." 

Entrapta planted a hand to her face briefly. "Poor thing, ya know. I have to rewire her in the morning. If that doesn't help I'm gonna have to upgrade her to Emily 2.0." She said of her robot best friend. 

"How's Catra been doing?" Scorpia asked almost too quietly. 

It took a moment for Entrapta to answer. "Good, I suppose. She'd not really speaking to me at the moment. Just telling me what to do and when to do it." 

"Kitty needs to get over all of this already. I give better cuddles and hugs than Adora ever will." Scorpia said and slapped a large claw to the ground.

Entrapta didn't want to dive into relationship issues. She didn't need a distraction like that in her life. Her science experiments came before anything and anyone. "That note Adora left for her rocked her world a really bad way." 

Scorpia inquired, "Do you know what it said?" Her dark eyes pleaded for an answer. 

"Something about not being into her." Entrapta said and Scorpia jumped up and danced around. "Um . . . you might wanna save that dance." 

Scorpia stopped and looked into Entrapta's eyes. "Why?" 

"Catra thinks Adora really does like her, but she's too scared to admit it." 

Scorpia frowned. "What does that mean for me? Is Catra gonna pursue her even more? Doesn't she understand that I have feelings for her?" 

Entrapta put the remote on the nightstand. "Tell Catra how you feel in the morning." 

Scorpia nodded. She watched as her friend yawned and covered herself up. "Sleep well." She said and shut the door. She hurried down the hall to her room and thought of what to say. Getting a piece of paper she wrote it down. 

When morning came the floor was littered with little notes from Scorpia to Catra.

Scorpia was so nervous about sharing her feelings. She found Catra pacing on the main floor by the bathrooms. "Hey, what's up." She tried to be as cool and casual as possible. 

Catra was in a mood. She hissed at Scorpia. "Everything is crap. My life and this place." 

Uh oh . . . Scorpia backed off. "Sorry, Wildcat. I'll just go to the dining room and get some food." 

Catra was a little hungry. "I can come with." She said and started to follow Scorpia. 

Scorpia wanted to hold Catra's hand with her claw. She knew it was a bad idea and at the last moment stopped herself. 

"I hope there's fish sticks and fries." Catra said and pushed the Up arrow elevator button. 

Scorpia rocked back on her heels. "I'll just be happy with whatever they have." 

They got into the elevator and went up a floor. Getting off, they went right and down the hallway. 

Scorpia made sure she still had the note. She felt for it and her claw tugged on it. The note gingerly fell to the floor and she was scared. 

"What is this?" Catra snatched it up.

"No!" Scorpia shouted. 

Catra just made a face at her before reading it. 'Dear Catra. WildCat. I am not sure how you think of me. Am I just a friend? Maybe we could be something more? P.S. I like you.' 

Catra handed it back to her. "Look, Scorpia, we're like friends. We also work together. I like you, but not the way you want me to." 

Scorpia was holding back her tears. "Yeah, okay. I know your favorite number is like 2478694645 or something like that." She remembered Adora booping it in the north pole region. 

Catra was impressed she was so close to it. "Only Adora knows it for sure." 

Scorpia slammed her left claw against the wall in anger. "Damn Adora! She's gone, Catra. She's in Bright Moon and doesn't care for us anymore. Stop trying to get her attention. She doesn't want you!" 

Catra's eyes glowed in hate. "I'm going to eat alone!" She spun around and pushed the doors open. She stalked inside mumbling to herself. Grabbing a tray she looked at the various food items in the meal bar. No fish sticks today, but fries were there. A pile that looked like a small mountain sat on her plate. She grabbed a juice and chicken fingers with them and sat down by herself. 

Scorpia stared at her from the doorway. "You're gonna be mine. Just wait and see. Soon you'll know we belong together."

Adora was throwing darts at a WANTED poster of Catra. She rolled her blue eyes and made a frustrated sound. "Why would she put this in my head?" She asked a very tired Glimmer. 

Glimmer's words were unaudible. She saw the look Adora was giving her. She pushed herseslf to sit up. "She loves to torture you." 

"Now she's all up in my head. Saying things and and being all Catra-y." Adora rolled onto her back. "I mean two months ago all was good. Then she goes and leaves a stupid little note for me. Plus a cute little drawing of herself. 'Hey, Adora, you look nice in red. Our dance at the princesses prom has me thinking of you lately.'  Then she left a second note with just a winking smiley face!" 

Glimmer nodded and closed her eyes. "Great." She passively said. 

Adora wanted to throw a dart at her. "Help me, Glimmer! What do I do?" 

"Forget her and move on. I vote for Perfuma." Glimmer said slowly. 

Adora laughed to herself. "So you can date Bow, right?" She watched as Glimmer started to fall asleep. As soon as Glimmer realized what she'd said she jolted up in bed. 

"Whhhatt? No! That's silly, Adora." She made herself lie down in bed. "Goodnight and don't let the cat bite." She laughed to herself and threw the cover over her head. 

Adora knew Glimmer had a huge crush on Bow and he had one on Perfuma. She sat there a while longer thinking of the dance with Catra.
