Catradora Ice Skating AU

Destination: Ice Skating Rink

Time: 3:00 AM

POV: Third Person

Catra could not sleep.

She could not stop thinking. 

"Ughh." she groaned getting up.

There was only one roller skating rink open that would open, mostly because her friend owns it.

That friend being Frosta.

She got up and walked to the rink, knocking on the door.

After 5 minutes of knocking a tired looking younger girl opened the door, "Hey, is it not late for you?" she asked, she obviously just woke up. "No. Listen, I need to skate, a lot is on my mind." Catra begged.

Frosta saw something in Catra, something that would not let her say no.

She sighed and let her in.

"When you are done, turn everything off and lock the doors." Frosta said before she headed upstairs to sleep.

"Thanks again Frosta." Catra smiled, "No problem." she said.

Catra put on her ice skates, the ice skating rink had dim lights, perfect for her.

She did a couple of laps as a warm up.

Catra started getting aggresive on her skating, to the point she slipped to the front, her face was on the floor, she slowly got up and saw Adora, "AHH!" she screamed, "Hi!" Adora smiled.

"What the fuck are you doing here?!?" Catra asked, "Frosta did! I saw you walk here through my window. So I followed you." Adora said, her hair dangling on Catra's face.

Catra scoffed and got up, she grabbed her phone and headphones, "Leave me alone, I came here for a reason ya know." Catra said. "Yeah, well I don't really care, besides I am kind of worried for you." Adora winked.

Catra rolled her eyes and plugged her headphones in her ears, "Whatever, I just wanna be alone right now." Catra said before skating by herself.

Skating was Catra's passion, so what happened? 

She realized she was never gonna be first place, no matter how many times she perfected the moves, or even if she changed the choreography to something more challenging, it was never enough.

She was never going to be the best.

Catra did slow turns while thinking.

Catra never had anyone, that was her problem, she only had skating!

Catra did a layback spin.

So what changed?

Ice skating was a passion to her, but now its a competition, against her and Adora.

'But now Adora is here.. with me.' Catra thought as she did a loop.

She was no longer alone, she had someone, but it is so hard to accept it. Catra did a twist in mid air and saw Adora still there, looking at her.
