It was about the middle of the night. Hope's moms had gone out hours ago and Bow and Glimmer had volunteered to babysit them. Of course, they had fallen asleep while watching her so Hope decided to stay in her moms' room until they came back. For what seems to feel like an eternity, Adora and Catra came home with Catra asleep in Adora's arms.

"Mom?" Hope rubbed her eyes.

"Hey, baby, what are you doing up?" Adora laid Catra on the bed gently.

"I couldn't sleep."

"Well, your mom here can." They both heard Catra snore loud.

"Jeez, she snores like uncle Bow." Hope giggled.

"And yet, I love her," Adora grabbed Hope's hand. "Come on, it's time you get to bed." They both left the room, leaving Catra to sleep.

"Mom? You're a princess, right?"

"In a way." Adora looked at her child, staring out in the dark hallway. "Why do you ask, sweetie?"

"Well, Bow was reading me these stories about princesses and a Prince Charming. One reminds me of you and mommy. And it made me wonder...is mommy your Prince Charming?"

"Well, not exactly. Your mom and I weren't always together, you know?"

"I know but I was just curious."

"Why don't I tell you a story? I think it would be a better story than the ones with Prince Charming."

"It would be scary, right?"

"Of course not." Adora and Hope walked into her bedroom.

"So what's the story about?" Hope sat on her bed.

"It's about two girls I know," Adora smirked.

"Ella and Nettie?"

"No."

"Lonnie and Scorpia?"

"No."

"Perfuma and Huntara?"

Adora laughed. "Ok, I don't even want to know how you came up with those two but no. They're just some...people your mom and I know."

"Ok, then," Hope grabbed her stuffed cat. "Tell it."

"Alright. How did it go again?" Adora thought of the story. "Oh, I remember. Once upon a time, a long time ago in Etheria, there were two best friends who have been by each other's side ever since they were kids. One day, while the girls were out on a trip into the darkest part of the woods, both girls got separated and each was lost. One of the girls, Ameera found a giant sword that almost looked like She-Ra's. When Ameera picked it up, she turned into a princess with long, blue hair and a red dress. When her friend, C'yra saw her like a princess, she didn't recognize her and she ran away as far as she could. As she tried to catch up to her, the sword Ameera held was hurting her. It gave her bad headaches and it made her legs and arms weak. C'yra turned to see the blue-haired princess turn back into her best friend. Ameera told C'yra how she found the sword and C'yra was excited to see that with Ameera as a princess, they could run away from their horrible home and see the world. In just a half an hour, it was all set. However, their plan soon fell apart. The people that C'yra and Ameera lived with were actually evil wizards who raised them to be evil."
