(Hello again)

Scorpia's POV (I swear I will try to have it so ever character has a POV in this story)

I was so excited. Tonight, not only am I gonna get to go to Double Trouble's brothers club with my friends, but I was also gonna get the chance to finally meet Catra's new girlfriend. "Right Scorpia focus, you gotta make a good first impression for both yours and Catra's sake" I say to myself as I make my way to my dorm room, we only had a couple hours before we had to be there, "yep nothing can go wrong with this, you can do it" I say confidently as I open the door only to be greeted by the sight of Double Trouble running for their life with Catra not to far behind. " your dead" shouts Catra as she lunges for them, "AAAAAAAAH".

(A few minutes earlier)

Catra's POV

I was laying on my bed thinking about the night I had ahead of me, (after considering cancelling it several times). My nerves were threatening to show themselves the more I thought about it. I was so caught up in my worries that I almost didn't notice Double Trouble walk through the door with something behind their back, "nervous love" they ask with slight teasing, "how can I not be when we're going to a club I've never heard of, owned by your brother who I've also never heard of and then there's the tiny fact that I'm gonna meet all my possible girlfriends friends in one night, so ye I'm a little nervous" I said adding a tint of angry sass to every word, "well then, maybe right now is not the best time to tell you the other thing about the club" they said stepping back slightly to the door, "what" I asked already not liking where this was going, "well it's just that there is a small rule I neglected to mention" they said fidgeting with what was behind their back, "look just tell me already" I said getting bored, "well it's just that" they said finally revealing what was behind them, it was a black dress with black long sleeved gloves and diamond earrings, "there's a dress code" they finished handing me the dress. And just like that my bored expression was replaced with one of rage.

Adora's POV

We were all currently getting ready for the night ahead (except for Frosta and Flutterina who were to young to legally come with us), Mermista and Seahawk were debating whether Mermista should wear a suit or dress (with Seahawk mostly saying she'd look stunning in either), Perfuma was deciding which of her vast collection of perfumes to use, Netossa and Spinerella were busy helping each other get ready and Bow and Glimmer were laughing at there own inside jokes. I had just finished putting my dress on for the night ahead, a nice red one with a golden sash. I could barely hide my nervousness about the whole situation, I mean me and Catra had hung out before but this still all felt so new and strange, I mean it's not technically a date, just a get together so are friends can meet...right. I was dragged out of my thoughts by a hand on my shoulder, I turned to find Glimmer and Bows reassuring smiles, "you feeling okay Adora" asked Glimmer already nearly ready, "ye, just nervous for you to meet her and to meet all her friends too" I said looking away to hide my tinted cheeks, "it'll be fine, trust us I'm sure we'll all get along just fine" Bow said giving his signature smile, "thanks guys, I needed that" I said feeling more reassured, "no problem" they both replied leaving to do the finale touches on their outfits. I looked around the place at all my friends excited faces, "maybe tonight won't be a disaster" I said smiling to myself, "I wonder how Catra is right now".

Scorpia's POV

I was pretty much to shocked to move as I witnessed the site before me. Double Trouble was currently hiding behind the couch as Catra hurled various things at them, "how many times do I have to tell you I HATE WEARING DRESSES" she said throwing the high heels at DT who just narrowly avoided getting hit by them, "I THOUGHT IT WOULD LOOK NICE ON YOU" they shouted as they managed to duck as the dress itself was hurled at them "AND BE CAREFUL WITH THAT ITS A RENTAL" they shouted continuing to cower, "oh I'll show you who should be carful you little-OKAY everyone calm down" I said interrupting Catra (who definitely wasn't happy about that), "let's just all relax and discuss this, Catra do you have anything else formal to wear" I asked Catra who just raised an eyebrow at me, "ha have you seen her wardrobe darling" said Double Trouble peeking out from over the couch only to duck back down when Catra hurled one of the dresses earrings at them, "okay so uh I'll take that as a no then, uhhh DT please tell you have something else for her to wear" I asked, desperation evident in my voice "well there is my old suit that I used to wear when I went their myself" they said finally coming out from behind the couch, "I doubt it'll fit though" said Catra looking away "oh don't worry love I wore it back when I was younger...and shorter" they said smugly, I glanced at Catra who looked like she was about to start throwing things again so I quickly picked her up, carrying her to her room, "right thanks DT just get it her quickly" I said quickly, practically shoving Catra into her room not waiting to hear their response.

Catra's POV

Once Scorpia made sure Double Trouble was gone she released me from her grip. I groaned and fell on my bed, "ah come on Catra it's not that bad" she said smiling reassuringly, "YES IT IS, this is the only time I'll be able to convince her friends I'm a good person which we both know I'm not" I shouted letting everything that was bothering me about this out, "everything just feels like it's going to fast and to slow at the same time, I want her to ask me out so badly but I'm so scared that she actually will, it feels like I have no control over any of this and I HATE IT" I shout slamming my fist on my desktop in anger as I felt small tears threaten to spill, "I just don't know what to do or how to do it" "Catra listen" Scorpia said placing her hand on my shoulder "I understand that your scared about all this, I was too, back when we were dating I was always worried I'd mess something up or make you annoyed at me and even though we did eventually break up I know it wasn't because of anything I did, your heart just wasn't in it, but I can tell your hearts in it now, it's scary I know but that's a good thing, cause it shows you care about this and you don't want to mess up with Adora, it shows your serious about this and want to make yourself a better person for her, and I'm so proud of you for that" she said smiling warmly. I looked at Scorpia and genuinely smiled at her, actually feeling better after she said that, "thanks Scorpia, I know I don't say this a lot but...I'm glad your my friend" I said as she scooped me up into a bear hug. "Forgive me if I'm interrupting" came a voice from the door, "but your suit has arrived" said Double Trouble holding a close peg with a suit attached to it. I took the suit and examined it for a minute, it was honestly not that bad, black and dark pink. "Eh still a bit too formal for me but I'll give it my own personal touches" I said placing it on my bed, "right well me and DT will leave you to change" said Scorpia giving me one last reassuring smile before beginning to leave, "yes dear after all I still have to give you your dress" said Double Trouble shutting the door on their way out. I began to finally start to change for the night ahead, smiling to myself as I did

"maybe tonight won't be a total train wreck after all".
