I yawned and opened my eyes, feeling as a pair of lips touched my forehead. "Glimmer...? Oh my god I fell asleep!" I panicked, sitting immediately. "(Y/N) it's alright, we haven't found anything from Serenia... Or anything in general." Said Bow, making me look down.

"No worries, it's just a matter of time before we find anything, because THERE IS something, right?" Glimmer shouted as she looked at the many papers on the table, groaning loudly. "I just want to find my stone and my kingdom, if I really have one...! How can it be this difficult??" I said to myself, Bow rested a hand on my shoulder.

"It's okay (Y/N), we will ask my dads abo--" A loud crash got our attention and we ran out the living room to find another bug monster, Lance and George ran to us, shielding us from it. "It's an Elemental! This'll be a piece of cake!" Adora said, grabbing her sword from the vase. "Adora, wait!" Shouted Bow.

"For the Honor of Grayskull!" She-Ra stood in front of us now, George and Lance gasped and glanced at Bow. "Adora is a sixth major in She-Ra...?" Whispered Bow, knowing he was in trouble. "Don't worry, I got this!" Adora stood in front the robot, but was easily thrown away by it.

"Adora!" I screamed. "Hey, leave her alone!" Glimmer teleported on the bug and attacked it from her spot. "Hold on, Glimmer! I'm coming!" Adora threw her shield at the robot, confusing it slightly and letting go from Glimmer. I threw blasts of magic at the robot, damaging it slowly. Adora, Glimmer and I fought against bug, there was a moment when I thought it was a good idea to attack it from the below, that is, a bomb, making it jump into the air and fall forcefully on the ground.

I panted as I saw the bug rolling towards George and Lance. "Never mind!! Stay away!" Lance shouted in fear. "Glimmer!" Adora sreamed as she helped me up. "Got it!" Glimmer teleported Bow's dads to the second floor.

The bug passed the entire time on default mode, rolling after me, Adora and Glimmer around the library. Glimmer fell on the ground and I stopped to help her, the bug coming to view again as Adora stood in front of us to protect us, at least until an trick arrow blinded it. The bug, furious at the attack, went after Bow, but the archer grabbed the stone we saw earlier and extended it to the bug.

It seemed almost hypnotized by it, and with a single touch, it went back to being a normal stone. "That's my Bow!" Glimmer shouted and I hugged him as Adora gave him a strong pat on his back.

"What is going on?!" George screamed at the top of his lungs, looking furiously at us. Adora transformed back and Bow walked to his dads, giving a heavy sigh. "I... I lied to you. There is no Academy of Historic Enterprises. I've been living at Bright Moon, fighting in the Rebellion alongside Adora, Princess Glimmer and Princess (Y/N)."

Lance and George looked at each other. "But why?"

"I don't wanna be a historian. I've never wanted to be a historian. I'm not a shy bookworm. I'm not a genius like you two. I make things. I'm a soldier. This is who I am. And I can't lie about it anymore, even though I'm breaking your hearts." Bow looked away, and after a few seconds of silence, George walked to his son.

Unconsciously, I hugged Adora's arm because of the fear I had when I saw him walking towards my friend, Adora placed her hand on mine, relaxing me more easily. A smiled adorned my lips when I saw George hugging his son. "What's breaking our hearts is the fact that you thought you had to lie about who you are."

"You're not mad? But I'm a fighter, and you hate fighters." Bow said. "I could never hate you. Never. If you feel like you belong in the Rebellion, that's where you belong." George smiled at Bow, and Lance joined in. "Oh, Bow, why didn't you just tell us...?"

"I tried, but you didn't listen. You only listened to me if I said what you wanted to hear." Bow's dads looked at each other guilty before looking at him again. "We had no idea you felt that way. W-We were just trying to encourage you to pursue your dreams. We thought we were being supportive when really we were being terrible."
