She-Ra (Catradora)

Chapter 5

Catra woke up heart racing. Both Micah and Adora waking up confused and scared. Catra ran up to Micah picked him up by his shirt and threw him against the bookcase. "What happened in there! What did you do!" Adora ran over prying Catra's claws out from Micah's shirt. "I swear I didn't do anything, that thing in there. That thing was real." Adora pulled Catra back falling to the floor in the process. "That will happen but not anytime soon judging by how far we went in..." Catra became agitated. "When will that happen!" Micah was nervous. "I don't know, it's difficult to judge anywhere between now and ten years." "Ten years! We have to be on guard for ten years!" This time Adora was the one shouting. "Try and remember what you saw. Key information about the event." Catra thought for a moment. "That place was alien right. I mean I don't know anywhere on Etheria that looks like that." "Anything else?" "I had short hair." Catra went white remembering the event playing in her head on a loop 'CATRA RUN!' "Great so Adora just doesn't cut her hair ever and then it won't happen." Micah shook his head. "That's not how it works. Time is fixed you can't change it only observe. This will happen. In the future, Adora will cut her hair. And you will go to another world and face whatever that is. By the time that happens, you'll be ready."

Adora and Catra left Micah's room and headed upstairs. Neither of them said anything on the way there and opened the door to go inside. Bow and Glimmer were in there waiting for the two of them to get back. Glimmer walked over to the two of them as they entered. "What was that about bow just told me... You guys look terrible are you ok." Catra immediately responded, "Were fine just tired from all the planning." Catra walked past glimmer and headed to the bathroom. Glimmer turned to face Adora. "What did my dad talk to you about." Adora stared off into space she was a terrible liar. "He just said that he so impressed with Catra at how much she's grown and happy for us." Glimmer knew that she was lying, it wasn't hard, but she decided not to say anything and whatever it was they didn't want to tell them. "You know you can tell me anything right." Adora nodded and smiled. "I know." Bow broke the uncomfortable silence. "Right then you two should get some rest, there's only one more day until the big day. Exiting! Adora Netosa wants you early so she can get your measurements." Adora nodded and Bow and Glimmer left.

Catra laid in bed looking up at the ceiling wondering how to react to what had happened that afternoon. Adora walked into the room from the bathroom after having had a shower. "Hey, you ok?" Catra glanced over and gave a weak smile. "Yeah it's just... why did you tell me to run knowing more than nothing is the scary part cause now I have so many questions." Adora walked over to the dresser and started getting dressed for bed. "Yeah, I've been thinking about that as well." Catra pulled her legs up to her chest and dug her forehead into her knees. Adora walked over to the bed and put her arm around Catra. "Hey, let's just forget about what happened for now." Catra looked up confused. Adora continued. "I mean we know what's gonna happen before it does. I have to cut my hair and we have to leave Etheria." Catra sighed, "Yeah I guess, and hey maybe it won't happen I mean Micah was on that island for a really long time he is still a bit cooky." Adora laughed a bit before curling up next to Catra and falling asleep.

"We need the chairs set up in 7 rows of eight, and the flower arrangements on every other chair from the first facing into the aisle. And where is Perfuma I need heer for the table settings?" It was the day of the wedding and all was underway and Bow is head of planning. Four hours before the ceremony was set to begin and all is going to plan. Catra and Adora in separate rooms getting dresses and hair done for their big day. "Ow watch it." One of the hairdressers was having a hard time brushing out Catra's hair. "Sorry, it's just so... tough." Catra rolled her eyes and continued to dig her claws into the arms of the chair. Her hair had grown out again to her shoulders in a year since it was cut and she was now getting it styled.

In the room, next door Adora was having a drink with Glimmer while a cobbler worked on Adora's shoes. "So are you excited?" Adora turned to Glimmer. "You have no idea. This has been the one thing I've wanted more than anything for such a long time." Glimmer looked down at her drink. "So what are you two going to do after this?" Adora looked confused. "What do you mean?" "Well... I mean this is the beginning to the rest of your lives what are you going to change?" Adora realized. "I haven't even thought about that. I've been so focused on this that I never thought what was to happen when it's over." Glimmer shifted slightly. "Well, let me ask a better question. What has been your dream with Catra?" Adora thought for a while then spoke. "When I was little all I wanted was for me and Catra to run away and live somewhere together away from the war and fighting. In a cabin in the middle of the woods with a lake and trees and flowers. We would sit by the water till dark and we would fall asleep in each other's arms on the couch." Adora looked up to a Glimmer with a massive grin on her face. "Addddooooorrrraaa that's so cute. And is there a little kitten in that scenario?" Adora blushed. "Maybe there is." They both started giggling like kids. Bow knocked on the door to the room. "Come in." "Adora we're ready for you... Woah." Bow hadn't seen Adora in her dress yet and she was stunning. Adora wore an a-line tea-length dress similar to what She-Ra wore but more refined and elegant. Her shoes that she just put on were white heeled sandals with a silver buckle at the ankle. Her hair was in a long thick braid falling to around her shoulder blades. "
