Adora tossed and she turned in her bed. She couldn't sleep. Not after what she's been going through. Adora and her friends had defeated Horde Prime with new unexpected allies, Etheria was rarely in danger, and Adora had finally managed to repair things with Catra.

Not entirely, at least. Even though Catra had redeemed herself, Adora couldn't help but feel a slight sense of paranoia in her. What if everything Catra to gain redemption was all a trick? What if when Catra has gained the Rebellion's trust, she'll lure them into a trap or something worse?  She got up from her bed. She fixed her hair and wrapped herself in a warm blanket and walked out of her bed chamber.

Adora thought it all through. Yes, Catra went completely power-hungry for winning and defeating the Rebellion. But, she helped Glimmer in her time with Horde Prime. She made Horde Prime less interested in conquering Etheria. She...she changed.

Yes again, Catra's reign went on with Horde Prime but she did help the Rebellion in a way. It may have not been her intention to help the Rebellion but she really helped. She was partly responsible for bringing Glimmer back home.

All of her thoughts were ceased when she heard snoring coming from the next room. She pushed the door opened and she saw her. She saw Catra, snoring and sleeping soundly as her body was covered by a blanket. Her body curled up.

She couldn't help but smile at the girl's snoring. How she missed that.

Was that weird?

She knew that snoring usually irritated people like Bow's snoring annoying Glimmer, but Catra's snoring felt nostalgic. It was endearing for her. When she saw Catra purring and snoring in the bed, she couldn't remember the wickedness that Catra carried inside her as a bigger part of the Horde. She saw the Catra she grew up with. The Catra she missed. The Catra she wished she could've saved sooner. Adora's smile faded when she thought of Catra when she worked alongside Hordak. Catra did unspeakable, unforgettable things but she was making up for that now.

Wasn't she?

Adora walked up to the sleeping one. She saw Catra's hand over her head and her knees near her chest and no pillow was under her whatsoever. Adora took Catra's hand and moved it in a more comfortable position. She set a pillow under all of her hair. Catra moved but she didn't wake up.

Her hand felt warm for a mere two seconds. Adora wanted to slap herself to make the thoughts shut up. She felt a hand on her leg. Adora was pulled, head first, to the floor.

"Watching people sleep seems like stalker material, don't you think?" Catra got up from her bed and stretched herself.

"Catra! Sorry about...that." Adora got up from the ground. "So...how we doing in Bright Moon castle?" She smiled sheepishly.

"Are you asking to change the subject or you really wanna know?" Catra jumped on her bed again.

"Both?"

"I'm doing good. Just peachy."

"Haha, that's what I said."

"Did you now?"

"Hey, this is gonna sound pretty weird but...would you mind if I...sleep in here...with you?"

"Can't sleep?"

"Yeah, would it be ok?"

"You sure? I mean, we are still working things out around here."
