"Hope, will you talk to me?" Calico knocked on her door.

"No, you're a traitor," Hope said.

"Just because I left you for one second doesn't mean I betrayed you! Please come out?"

"No!"

"Ok, what's the problem? Do we need to shock, talk, or hug?" Adora walked with Catra holding her whip.

"Hope's mad at me,"

"He's a traitor!" They heard Hope yell.

"Oh no, she's entered that stage!"

"No, she hasn't! I know anger and that's not a female thing. Just let me get a crack at opening the door," Catra walked to the door until Adora pulled her back.

"Catra? Honey, I love you, you know this but please don't threaten our daughter with a whip."

"Too much?"

"Oh definitely."

"What did you do?" Catra asked Calico.

"It doesn't really matter," Calico slumped to his room.

"Calico..." Adora saw Calico walking to his room and shut his door. "Come on, we're going to his room—CATRA!" Adora caught Catra about to swing her whip at the door.

"Oh come on! I barely get to use this!" She argued.

"Alright, feisty pants, first, the depressed one then, the angry one!" Adora pulled Catra to Calico's room.

———♢———

"Knock, knock." Adora walked into Calico's room.

"Who's there?" Calico hid his face in his pillow and had his entire body inside a pillowcase

"Your moms,"

"My moms who?"

"Your moms don't want to see you upset so suck it up and tell us what's going on with you and Hope." Catra sat him up.

"I made a promise I would leave Hope alone in the woods because she still gets a little scared when it's nearly night and when I saw a tiny creature, my research instincts kicked in," Calico said, huddling himself. Catra and Adora looked at each other and sighed.

"Calico, what's the one thing we said to never do if you guys were in the forest?" Catra asked.

"Don't take food from Madame Razz?" Calico looked up at her.

"The other thing,"

"Don't let Bow get caught in the vines like last time?"

"The other, other thing?"

"Don't get separated?"

"Yes," Adora sat down next to him with her arm around his neck. "Lico, you and your sister are smart kids. You guys have done everything together since you were born and we get you to want to know everything there is to know about Etheria but you need to remember that in this family, we look out for each other." Adora smiled at Catra directly.

"Where have I heard words like that?" Catra held her chin playfully. Adora soon caught on what she was thinking and chuckled softly.
