"Catra, are you sure you'll be fine with them? You've never actually babysat without help." Adora asked, swinging a bag over shoulders.

"Adora, your princesses need you. You go on your mission thing and we'll be fine." Catra ran a hand through her hair. "Just try not to be paranoid over the week, yeah?"

"I hate leaving you guys by yourself."

"And I hate how you're paranoid ninety percent of the time. We're gonna be ok."

"Just so we're clear, no trips to Beast Island, the Fright Zone ruins or any Horde Prime soldiers graveyard, no letting Hope near any weapons,"

"How was I supposed to know she was going to slice her stuffed animal's head off?"

"No letting Calico outside to study nighttime monsters or the ruins of the Beacon, letting Hope tie-up Calico to a cannon to blast him off the face of the planet, no letting Calico near the Cryptic Castle since Entrapta is still trying to fix the place from their last experiment,"

"Entrapta always said science takes time or whatever,"

"Or anyone trying to get anyone killed or blowing up the castle or shooting surprise water balloons."

"Ok, that was one time and Bow should've seen those water balloons coming."

"Catra, you know I love you but please try not to get anyone or yourself in any danger just for one week. That's all I ask for."

"Adora, no one is getting hurt. Please go on your mission already."

"Ok," Adora kissed Catra on her lips. "I love you." She whispered with her head laid on hers. Catra kissed Adora's wrist. Adora kissed her one more time before leaving the castle. Catra sighed as her wife ran off on a mission with the rest of the princesses. She opened two doors to different rooms.

"Ok, you two can come out now," Catra shouted.

"Party?" Hope shouted from her room.

"Epic water balloon war?" Calico took out his slingshot.

"Alright, you two gremlins, I already said no one is gonna get hurt and we're not having a party." Catra helped Calico down from his closet.

"But we always do dumb stuff when Mom's gone," Hope said, jumping from the top of her bed.

"Yeah, well, when Mom's gone, someone gets in trouble," Catra said. "Remember when she went on that Salineas meeting."

Calico shivered. "The jail of Snows was so cold," Calico whispered. "Pun intended, that is."

"I could've sworn the guard made the room freeze with him staring at us."

"Listen to me, under no circumstances are we to cause any trouble. We don't leave the castle unless we're making errands, there's a fire, a monster, a possible end-of-the-world massacre, and so on. No one is allowed to use any weapons. No one is to try any experiment or anything explosive of the sort. Do you both understand?"

"Yes, mom," Calico said.

"Absolutely." Hope nodded.
