Catra's POV
Catra woke up with a huge headache. She felt oddly warm and looked to see two women in her bed. You've got to be shitting me, how drunk did I get? She mentally groaned before sitting up and grabbing her phone off the nightstand, 3 messages from Adora, they read.
Princess: Hey I'm sorry if I did something to make you upset.
Princess: Please talk to me, I don't want to lose you again.
Princess: I'm sorry.
Catra ignored the messages and woke up the women. "Alright you two, get out of here. Funs over, I have errands to run." She pushed them out of bed and watched them gather their clothes and leave. Once they left Catra rubbed her face and sighed, she got up and sat down at her desk. There she grabbed her journal from the drawer and began to write two pages in it about what has been going on. After that she gets ready to go get coffee.
Catra was out shopping for groceries, sipping on her coffee peacefully. She passed two strangers who were talking about a party, "Yeah, I'm bringing Waldo as my plus 1" the girl said. A party? She thought before slowing her pace so she could still hear the strangers. "Yeah it's a masquerade ball! It's being held at some girls mansion or something. Her names Frosta." The girl said and Catra chewed on her lip in thought. Hmm, I'll go, I have nothing else to do anyway. Catra thought before turning to go look at suits.
She found a dark maroon suit and decided she would wear that. Now all I need to do is find out where I could get a masquerade mask.. she hummed to herself before deciding to text her friend DoubleTrouble.
Hey DT, where would I find a masquerade mask?
DT: You can find them at xxxxx (I didn't really want to use any company names or brand names)
Thanks
Catra went on her way to go buy herself a masquerade mask after buying her maroon tux.
Once at the other store she found a black mask with red decorating it, she decided to get that one. She smirked oh shoot I don't know when the ball is! She realized before texting DoubleTrouble again
When is the masquerade ball?
DT: I heard through the grapevine that it's this Sunday, why you going?
Yeah
DT: ok
Catra rolled her eyes at the simple answer. This Sunday was 3 days away, she was kinda excited to go. She's never been to a masquerade ball before and who knows maybe she'll meet someone- No, I refuse to settle for anyone. Her mind reminded her. Catra went home to show it to Melog.
Adora's POV
"A masquerade ball? And Frosta's hosting it?" Adora asked shocked as she stared at Glimmer and Bow across the table. "Yep and we can go all together!" Glimmer nearly shouted in excitement. Bow and Adora gave a smile at the shorter girl. Glimmer clasped her hands over her mouth and gasped, "We should hurry up and get you a dress and a mask!" She giggled and dragged Adora out of the restaurant. Oh boy.
How many dresses has she tried on? 4? 8? She sighed and walked out of the changing room wearing a slightly tight fitted red dress, "Woah, you look really good!" Bow said in awe as he stared at the blonde. Adora blushed and rubbed her arm shyly. "Awh thanks you guys, I guess this is the one?" She asked as Glimmer put a mask on her. It was a darker shade of red than her dress and it was decorated with black. "You look stunning." She whispered with a smile and wiped a tear from her eye, "I feel like a proud mom." She sniffed as if she was going to cry. All of them laughed as they walked to the counter to buy the dress. Adora was still fixing her belt as Bow placed the dress on the counter along with the mask.
Adora was ready to go the ball. Glimmer promised that for her first ball she will make Adora look irresistible, Adora however didn't know if that was a good or bad thing. She hummed as she eyed her body in the mirror. "Irresistible huh?" She glared at her body in the mirror. She eyed the stretch marks and anything else she hated about her body. The blonde sighed and stepped into her shower.
Friday.
Catra's POV
Two more days until the ball! Catra didn't know why she was so excited, she felt a nudge on her leg and looked down at Melog. "I know, I'm sorry bud. I haven't been giving you much attention have I?" She frowned and leaned down to pet the creature. Melog dropped something at her feet and she looked down to see earrings. "You want me to wear those at the ball?" Catra said, she looked closer and gasped. "Those are the ones Adora gave me when we were kids!" They were small golden stud earrings. She smiled and shook her head, "Alright fine, I'll wear them." She mumbled and pet the creatures head gently. Melog meowed at her and sat down, resting their chin on Catra's knee. "I miss her so much." Catra whispered.
Adora's POV
Adora grew nervous, there were two more days. She grabbed a heavier weight and began to lift it. Winking at a girl who watched Adora's muscles. Am I really sure I want to go to this? She asked herself before shaking her head slightly as she brought the weight down to her chest and lifting it back up again. She already said that she was going, she can't back out again.
She laid in bed and stared at her wall. I wish I had a companion here. It gets lonely sometimes She thought and got ready for bed. She laid down and cuddled into a pillow, she nuzzled her face into the pillow and fell asleep.
Sunday.
