Chapter Three: We Meet Yet Again

Hours after reaching the beautiful Sunny Side Beach Tide, Adora, Bow and the Princesses set up their territory along with a nice fireplace next to some green tents. All except Frosta who is busy constructing her army of sand castles are huddled around the campfire sitting on logs telling each other jokes and lovely stories from their pasts.

Bow: And that was the first time I ever grew a crush on someone...

All of the Princesses gasp in shock.

Perfuma: Oh my, I can't believe you had a crush on Glimmer!

Mermista: I can't believe you actually had a crush on a female.

The Princesses glare at Mermista for her comment then stares at Bow's crop top for a few seconds, soon transferring to nod in agreement.

Bow: H-Hush...besides, we're amazing best friends and I have interests in other people now!

Frosta: seahawk.

She blurts out from a far distance, surrounded by big hordes of sand castles.

Bow: NOO!

Bow rubs the side of his arm with a slight blush. The Princesses erupt in laughter as Adora places her hand on his shoulder.

Adora: Hey, it's okay to slide that way man, and you know what...I've once had feelings for the same sex myself!

The bold Adora claims, causing the Princesses to let out an "Oooooo", even shocking Bow.

Mermista: Well well well, the cat has jumped out of the bag...SPILL THE BEANS!

Adora holds up her chest proudly then exhales deeply.

Adora: I once fell in love with a former best friend of mine, believe it or not...she was-

Frosta: AAAAHH!!!

The high pitched scream grabs everyones' attention as they all look in Frosta's direction, witnessing a clingy fiddler crab having its pincher stuck between her nose.

Frosta: G-GET THIS BEAST OFF OF ME!!!

Perfuma: Oh no! We're coming to the rescue poor child!

The worried friends evacuate from the campfire to aid Frosta.

Adora: We're coming Frosta!

As Adora comes up from her log, she gains a quick glance of barely visible people from a far distance...but even more noticeable, a red tent.

Adora: what the...it can't be...

Her eyes squint at the far objects to get a better view. After a long hard gaze, her mind begins to flicker.

Adora: [No way, THEY'RE HERE?!]

She screams out internally. Adora looks back at her friends with a small whimper, thinking of the future consequences that may occur. Her fists tightly clench.

Adora: [I want to be there for Frosta! But the Evil Horde...what are they up to let alone doing here?! I have to do something before they plan anything horrible on my friends.]

Taking one last look of her friends, Adora sneaks away from the group and hides behind a line of trees with each move she makes coming towards the tent. As near as she came, Adora crouches behind the last tree, seeing two visible silhouettes inside the tent.

Later after the two has discovered the beach, they set up their tent decorated inside with piles of pillows and thrown around bags of snacks. Catra lies there buried in a hill of pillows having deep thoughts as Scorpia is stacking the pillows on top of her.
