Catra's P.O.V.

It was night time by the time we finally came back to Bright Moon. I was the one driving. Everyone else had fallen asleep on the hovercraft, probably exhausted from our mission. Once I arrived at the bridge, I stopped the hovercraft and hopped off.

"Catra!" I looked towards the entrance, seeing Adora, Bow, And Glimmer rushing towards us. I gave a tired smile. 

"Hey guys." Adora tackled me in a hug, hugging me tight enough to make me gasp. "I was so worried about you! Why were you taking so long?! Did something happen?! Are you hurt?!" she asked me, her grip tightening. I tapped frantically at her shoulder. "Can't breathe! Can't breathe!" I wheezed out.

"Oh, right, sorry!" Adora released me, and I stumbled back, taking a moment to regain my breath. "Where were you guys? What took you so long?" Glimmer asked. 

"It's a long story, but let's just say it got more complicated than I expected. But everyone is fine, and we got the supplies." I replied. Scorpia sat up, yawning. "Are we here already?" she said sleepily. Double Trouble sat up as well, stretching their arms out. "That was quite the long trip...." they murmured. 

"What the- is that Double Trouble?!" Bow said.

"It is. Like I said, it's a long story. One I'll tell you tomorrow once I get some sleep tonight." I said. "Okay, that's fine. Scorpia, you and Entrapta can stay at Bright Moon for the night, since I'm sure its kinda late to return to your own kingdoms." Glimmer replied. Scorpia nodded, carrying a sleeping Entrapta under her arm. I scratched the back of my head, looking away a bit.

"....mind if Double Trouble stays the night too? Just for tonight. They really helped us out today, so its the least we can do for them." I said. Double Trouble looked at me surprised, hopping out of the hovercraft. Adora smiled and nodded.

"Sure, they can stay for tonight." she said. I smiled and nodded. 

"Thanks." 

Double Trouble's P.O.V.

I leaned forward against the railing of the balcony, looking at the view. The moonlight shined brightly in the dark sky, giving a certain mysterious glow to the whole Whispering Woods. It made it all the more magical looking. Anyone who lives here is lucky to have such an incredible view. 

"It's a nice view, isn't it," I looked back, seeing Catra coming towards me, "you should see the sunrise. It's even better than this." she stood beside me, leaning forward on the railing. 

"Scorpia and Entrapta still asleep?" I asked. "Oh yeah, they're passed out on their bed. Nothing could wake them up now." Catra stated. I chuckled. "I'm surprised you're living here in Bright Moon. I guess you and Adora finally got together." I replied. 

"Yeah. I couldn't ask for a better girlfriend." Catra stated. "And you seem much closer with Entrapta and Scorpia now. I honestly didn't think you'd be able to stay friends with them." I said. Catra frowned, and sighed. "....actually, that's still something I've been working on. I mean, today was the first time we actually got to hang out since Horde Prime's defeat. Before....I was too nervous to approach them." I said.

"Oh yeah? Because you banished Entrapta to Beast Island and pretty much yelled at Scorpia that she isn't your friend?" I said.

"Yeah....thanks for the reminder," she said slightly annoyed, but she cleared her throat and continued, "anyway, I wanted to my friendship with those two. I mean, they mean a lot to me. I couldn't just leave things the way I did. I wanted to change....to truly erase who I was when I worked for the Horde."

"Well, it seems to have worked." I said. Catra smiled, and nodded. "Yeah. I'm starting to rebuild our bond....one step at a time."

"....I gotta ask something, Kitten." I looked over at her, narrowing my eyes at her.
