A Hike to Your Heart || (Catradora Camping Story) •Completed•

Chapter One: A Break?

Ever since Adora began honing her skills as She-Ra, her and the Rebellion has bared through many battles with the Evil Horde. Fight after fight, nothing ever changes. The Evil Horde keeps coming up with new technology while Brightmoon possesses the advantageous power of other Princesses. On a lesser busy day, Queen Glimmer calls up Adora & Bow to her position.

The guards open up the doors for Adora & Bow to come forth. Glimmer rises up from her throne then teleports close to them with an embracing hug.

Glimmer: Heyyy you guys!

The two looks down at Glimmer with a smile, unexpecting the hug but definitely welcomed by it.

Bow: What's up Glimmer, do you have another mission to assign us? Will we ambush some Horde soldiers? Infiltrate their base? Gather possibly creepy information from Hordak's search log?

Glimmer falls back from the hug then shakes her head no as she waddles back & forth joyfully.

Adora: Then what is it you need us for?

She stops her happy signs of movement then faces them with a serious look on her face.

Glimmer: You know...we've been fighting the Evil Horde for quite some time now to the point we barely have the free will to come up with an actual plan.

She gets closer to them with an even more menacing look, forming a deep glare.

Glimmer: And you know what we really need in this point of time?

The two gulps as they could feel the tension seriously growing down their spines.

Adora & Bow: W-What?

Before Glimmer could bring her words out, she jumps high up into the air as pink sparks of light surrounds her.

Glimmer: CAMPIINNNNGG!!!

Bow's face transfers to that of an excited boy scout ready to head out as Adora looks rather confused by such an offer.

Bow: YES! I haven't gone camping in FOORREVEERR! When do we start?!

Adora: Camping?...

Adora crosses her arms as she perks up one eyebrow. Glimmer returns to the ground on her feet then stares at the dumbfounded Adora with her hands placed on her hips.

Glimmer: You know what camping is, right Adora?

Glimmer & Bow both stares at Adora, awaiting her answer.

Adora: Uh...well, I remember in the old days being with the Horde, we had some concentration cam-

Glimmer: Nonono, not that camping silly! Hiking with friends and hanging out in the nature camping!

Adora: Never heard of it until now.

Bow: Oh. My. God. Pack up your stuff sister, WE'VE GOT A CAMPING LESSON ON OUR HANDS!

Bow starts dragging Adora out of the throne room to help her get ready soon.

Adora: H-Hey! Wait! What if the Horde attacks us!

Glimmer shouts from across the room: Consider this a break from now on!

Glimmer turns to her back with a small smirk.

Glimmer: A break...

Early afternoon in a lone hallway of the Fright Zone base.

Catra and Scorpia takes a short walk to their room. Reaching there, Catra plumps down onto the bed with a big growl.

Catra: Ugh...WHEN WILL WE START WINNING?! It's like they know what we'll throw at them no matter what type of unit we create!

She wraps her head into a pillow, muffling out stressed groans. Scorpia sits down by the frustrated Catra then pats her back with her big yet majestic pinchers.

Scorpia: Hey, there there...I'm sure that if we just don't give up, we'll definitely get the best of 'em!

She says in a very cheery voice but Catra just lies there groaning even more. Scorpia rubs her chin while letting out a few hums.

Scorpia: Hmmmm...

Catra comes up from her pillow to pout at Scorpia.

Catra: Could you think any quieter please? I was mourning in peace.

Scorpia: Peace...

Scorpia closes her eyes digging deep into her thoughts for any ideas. Suddenly, she widens her eyes with an excited gasp then rises up from the bed.

Scorpia: I've got a good solution!

Catra nudges her head looking up at Scorpia.

Catra: It better be good...what do ya' got?

Scorpia faces Catra with a big smile and her pinchers clacking joyfully.

Scorpia: How about...we go...CAMPING!

Catra stares at Scorpia with nothing but silence, rolling her eyes with a tired grunt.

Catra: Why camping? The Princesses could be planning their next attack and the best you come up with is a STUPID camping trip?!

The furious Catra pounces off the bed then crosses her arms, gluing her eyes to the floor.

Scorpia: I know, I know...but we could seriously use this, Catra! Everyone seems to be so drained out from fighting and it all results to nothing but us getting hurt. If this keeps up then it would be harder for us to fight back...w-we need a break!

Scorpia lays her pinchers on top of each other then gets down on her knees with the essence of a sad puppy formed on her face.

Scorpia: Pretty pleeaaase?...

Catra: Rrgh...

Catra turns around to look down at Scorpia, taking her sweet time to think. It seemed so foolish to her at first but she soon began seeing the valid points Scorpia made.

Catra: Whatever.

Knowing Catra, Scorpia took her answer as a yes then jolts up onto her feet, cradling Catra into a big ol' tight hug.

Scorpia: Aahhh thank you! You. Are. The bestest gal pal of the entire universe.

Catra growls hard but settles down a bit afterwards, letting the hug flow through. Scorpia lets go of the hug then jumps up on the bed contemplating.

Scorpia: We should start packing! Some marshmallows, blankets, matching buddy pajamas, biiiig tents!

Catra: Scorpia.

Scorpia: Maybe also some animal slippers...that would be sooo adorable, oh! And some frosted animal crackers, yes! Animal. Gal Pal. Besties!

Catra: SCORPIA!

The happy Scorpia halts her jabbering then looks at Catra, smiling.

Scorpia: What's up?

Catra: I know Hordak wouldn't take this kind of settlement very fondly, so we'll have to sneak out to do it.

Scorpia: You're right...big boss Hordak would scold us for that.

The room soon grew silent for a long periodically time, both Catra & Scorpia idling with blank expressions.

Catra: Oh well, lets start packing.

Scorpia: Yeesss ma'am!
