Catra and Adora dressed themselves up and met Huj outside only to be met with Huj on a quad bike a red helmet on her head. "Thats sick!", Catra exclaims running towards the bike walking around it in fascination, stars in her eyes as she poked Huj's helmet and turned to Adora and squealed, " Adoraaa can we get theseeee? Pweaaaaseeee?". Adora chuckled and walked over to Catra, pressing a kiss to her forehead and saying, "Maybe, you'll have to ask Glimmer". Catra sighs as Adora got on the bike behind Huj. Huj growled and smacked Catra upside the head and barked, "Dont touch my helmet kiddo, thats lesson number one". Adora covered her mouth to suppress the laughter threatening to escape her lips.

Catra grunts and rubs the back of her head and mutters, "Ok boomer". Huj huffed and chopped Catra's head, making the feline hit the ground with a thump. "Second lesson of the day kid, don't disrespect the driver". Catra groans dazed, her butt in the air as her body was scrunched up a hand sized dent in her hair. Adora sighs, shaking her head as she got off and turned into She-Ra, picking up her lover, who was seeing stars, and settling the feline in between her and Huj wrapping her arms around Catra's waist.

"Ok you two, y'all ready to ride now?", Huj asks as she revs the engine of the quad bike . Adora held onto the almost unconscious girl in front of her tightly as Huj sped off through the city. Adora looked at the scenery that passed her with pure awe, despite Kade's attempts to literally burn this village to the ground its people have always remained united in true peace.

"This city is quite special Adora", Huj says pulling Adora out of her thoughts. Adora whirled back to see that Huj was looking at her through the mirror on the side of the bike's handles. "The people of Tendūji have been through so much, how do they manage to stay so united?", Adora asks out of pure curiosity. Huj chuckles as she turns to the right, "Well, the people of this city werent always like that. It was only when Catra came back that they've turned to peace. Long before Catra's birth, when her father ruled there was still tension from her uncle's rule. It was only when her father established the Treaty of The Four Kingdoms which was a treaty that established peace through all the kingdoms and its sub-kingdoms and villages. The four kingdoms still had their power and rights even though Meliodas would've ruled over all of them. He was a fair king, a fair lord and a fair father and husband. It was a great loss to all of Taron when we heard of what Kade had done, murdering the royal family. I personally felt hopeless until now. I was in the Kingdom of Kyrosis: also known as the kingdom of Fire when I heard news of your arrival". 

Adora nods and asks, "So what are the names of the three other kingdoms?". Huj stopped for a moment, letting another bike pass before continuing and said, "The three other kingdoms are: Kingdom of Poleses also known as the kingdom of  healing, Kingdom of Raysō which is the kingdom of water, and finally the Kingdom of Taros, the kingdom of earth and land. These other two are all ruled by separate kings and queens but there is only one supreme ruler which at the moment is Kade but should've originally been Catra. This one supreme ruler has always been from Taros, since Taros was the first ever kingdom and from there others sprouted". Adora was in awe of the history of Taron that she hadn't even realized that they were already at their destination.

"Catra! Adora!", Bow called from the bike he was on as Glimmer hopped off to greet them. Huj kicked the stand of the bike to the ground, stilling it as she pulled off the helmet from her head and stepped off the bike as she stepped inside a hut leaving the four alone. "Uh, whats wrong with stupid?", Glimmer asks poking Catra's cheek amusedly. Adora chuckles at Glimmer's antics and picked Catra up and hopped off with the feline in her arms. "Catra decided to be stupid and disrespect Huj so Huj disciplined her and now, well... shes kind of passed out", Adora says with a chuckle. Glimmer shakes her head and chortles as Bow approached them.

"Y'all rea- wait what happened to Catra?", Bow asks with a quirked brow. Adora rolls her eyes and says, "Catra was being Catra and ended up getting her soul snatched from her". Bow started dying of laughter making Adora smack him upside the head. Bow grunts and says, " Hey! What was that for?!". Adora grins cheekily and says, "Dont make fun of my girlfriend Bowie". Bow rubbed the back of his head with a pout making Glimmer and Adora chuckle.

"Wha- Glimmer you're supposed to defend me!", Bow says pointing an offended finger at Glimmer. Glimmer rolled her eyes and flicked the boy's nose and snarked, " Im not your momma babe". Bow pouted and rubbed his nose and whimpered, "Y'all are bullies".

"Get used to it pretty boy", Huj says behind them a smirk on her face as she saw the horror on Bow's eyes. "Y-Yes ma'am", Bow says with a shudder. Adora quirks a brow and looks at Bow and then Huj before looking at Glimmer expectantly. Glimmer sighs and whispers, "Bow was being dumb and messed with Huj's bike which almost made us crash". Adora snorted. Sounds like Bow alright. Glimmer sighs and says, "We're in love with idiots arent we Adora?".

Adora looks at the feline in her arms and nodded with a smile. "Yeah, we definitely are", Adora says softly.

"Ok love birds, I got one of my mechanics to bring out a more reliable vehicle .  Its not a bike but its more of a car, its got 4 seats so kitty over there", Huj points at Catra and continues, "Can rest and whoever can drive, drives peacefully". The three look at each other before nodding.

————————————————————————

After a few minutes, a man came out in a weird looking vehicle.  It looked like one of the housing units but on wheels. A man opened one of the doors and stepped out before Bow ran over and exclaimed, " NO WAY! I GET TO DRIVE THIS?!". Glimmer sighs and says, "Babe, do you know how to?". Bow nods and says, "Of course I do! George had one and he let me practice a bit".

Huj chuckles and pats Bow's shoulder and says, "Get in bud". Bow squeals as the man handed him in the key, practically throwing himself into the car and putting the key in the ignition letting the engine roar. Adora and Glimmer looked at him in amazement before Huj walked over and opened the backseat doors and said, "Everybody get in, I already have put in the coordinates to where Iroh was last spotted, its better if y'all get going now before sunset".

Adora nods and says, "Thank you Huj" before entering the car. Glimmer nods and offers Huj her hand before Huj smacked her hand away and gave the queen a hug. "We dont shake hands here, we hug". Glimmer chuckled and pats Huj's back before pulling back and entering the car right after Adora.

Huj closes the door and says, "Take care of each other". They all nod and exclaim, "Yes ma'am!". Bow backs out from the awkward spot they were in before he switched the gears and moved forward. "May we meet again!", Huj exclaims as she watches the Best Friend Squad leave through the gates of Tendūji, some of the kids and adults running after them wishing them a safe trip.

"go get them kitten", Huj says with a smile before turning back to her shop.
