Adora's POV:

Its been 2 months since Catra and I came back from the Thaymor mission. Glimmer was pleased with our work and gave Catra permission to roam the halls. We took advantage of it and Catra would sneak into my room every now and then and just hang with me. Sometimes because she was tired. Or because she wanted to tell me something or show me something. We would spend those nights wrapped up in each other's embraces and usually fall asleep immediately. This night, it seemed different though. She seemed tensed and distant which was unusual for Catra.

"Catra? Whats wrong?", I ask putting a hand on her shoulder. She sighs and says, "I want to show you something Adora".  I raise a brow and say, "Ok what is i-". My jaw falls to the floor as Catra starts stripping off her shirt. My eyes widened and I covered my eyes and squealed. "C-Catra! What are you doing?!". Catra sighs and says, "Nothing like that you idiot, Im using my shirt as some type of rope to get us down into the whispering woods". I take my hand off my eyes and say, "Oh.. ok".

Catra smirks and says, "What? You wanted to see my abs again eh?". I scoff and say flustered, "N-No! Get over yourself". I stand up from my bed and grab the makeshift rope she made out of her shirt and some other things from my room. "Here, tie it around your waist", I say handing Catra the rope. She chuckles and says with a mischievous glint in her different colored eyes, "Nah, I have a better idea". Catra steps back and makes the rope into some sort of lasso and says, "You ready for some adventure?". I look at her nervously and ask, "Wha-?" Before she starts running, grabbing me by the waist and jumping out of the window.

My eyes widened and I clutched to Catra's side, before Catra chuckled and swung the lasso onto a branch, making a makeshift swing sending Catra and I higher in the air. "Catra Im going to kill you!", I squeal as I looked at her angrily. She only laughs and says excitedly, "Hold on princess, this is the best part". I was about to ask what she meant before she let go of the rope/lasso thing sending us free- falling in the air. I clenched my eyes closed and screamed as Catra chuckled. Catra shifted us around and before I knew it I was on something soft.

I opened my eyes to see that we were in a open field of flowers. I turn to see Catra on her back chuckling. I stand up and walk over to her with an annoyed frown and my arms crossed over my chest. Catra looks me in the eyes and starts dying of laughter again, holding her stomach. I growl and kick her gently in the side making her stop laughing. "W-What princess? I-Its just you should've seen your face", She says pointing at me and breaking into fits of laughter again. I sigh and ignore the laughing idiot on the ground and look around. It's beautiful! The flowers were white and some yellow. the moon light reflected off of them.

 I jump in surprise when I felt arms wrap around my waist

I jump in surprise when I felt arms wrap around my waist. I relaxed when I heard Catra's husky voice, "You like it princess". I pressed my body closer against her and nuzzled my face in her shoulder and said, "Yeah where did you find it?".  Catra held me tighter to her and said, "Asami told me about it. Apparently its a very sacred place". I turn around in her embrace and smirk before placing my hand on her chest and pushing her backwards.
