"Entrapta? Entrapta?" Hope rubbed her eyes after putting her hair up.

"Hope! How great to see you and so early?" Entrapta used her hair to shake Hope's hand.

"Um, I'm staying the night, remember?" Entrapta blinked her magenta eyes, smiling at the young teenager. "My moms went out for their anniversary? They headed for Mystacor for the weekend?"

"Oh, that's right! Perhaps I'll go there for my anniversary."

"Who's anniversary?"

"Calico, you've come to!" Entrapta squealed.

"I've literally been sleeping in the room next to you and Hordak's." Calico snorted lightly. "So, what are you working on this morning?"

"Well, your mother said that sometimes she wishes she could go back in time and fix her mistakes so I took the liberty of building a time machine. Therefore, she may go back whenever she'd like and fix whatever she would like to fix."

"Entrapta, I think she was just saying it as a metaphor. I don't think she'd actually want you to build a machine for this." Hope said.

"Oh," Entrapta frowned. "Well, she's going to have to live with it. Speaking of which, since Hordak's still napping, why don't you help me test it?"

"Entrapta, are you sure it's safe to test it? Remember the last time you tested something?" Hope asked.

"I think I have that bruise from the last experiment." Calico looked at his shoulder.

"Trust me, I've made excellent progress while testing these matters. You will be perfectly fine. Unless of course, you don't make it by the night to the portal then I guarantee you'll be stuck there forever and you just might cease to exist and will only reappear if Adora and Catra should ever reunite again."

Hope gulped. "Where are you sending us? Actually, when?"

"Back to where things were more than in the doghouse."

"You mean when our moms tried to kill each other almost every day and where Horde Prime took your husband?"

"You can say that," Entrapta started the machine. "Remember, you cannot tell anyone who you are. If you were to run into Catra or Adora or anyone else, you must avoid information about where and when you came from."

"Sounds easy enough." Hope closed her eyes. The next second she and Calico weren't in Entrapta's sanctum. They were near the Whispering Woods. Calico and Hope could instantly tell she was in the past. The woods seemed younger; more becoming. The woods in her timeline have blossomed fully. Hope saw creatures flying in the sky. Calico went climbing up a tree and could see the kingdoms of Etheria just from the distance where he stood on the tree.

"Oh, Hope, I have a feeling we're not in Etheria anymore. And by that, I mean, you're in Etheria." Calico snorted again at his own joke. He jumped from the tree.

"If we're in the past where the whole Horde Prime's arrival preparation started, that means mom and mom are teenagers and that would make us not existing. Having a kid would be the last thing they'd want to do."

"And...that's now a sentence I'll never get out of my brain." Hope looked around the woods.

"Well, I guess we could stop and spy on mom. Or...we could stop mom from trying to kill mom. Or vice versa. Then, that might me exist faster but then there's Horde Prime. Wait, but then that means Entrapta's on Beast Island, So then, how do we get home?"
