Future in the Stars | Catradora

1 - New Plans

A/n: after I finishing She-Ra, I immediately went back to watch the series all over again. I can't get enough of Catradora! My obsession is becoming a bit of a problem. But anywayyyyyy...

This is kind of what I'd imagine would happen after season 5, I guess. As much as I loved the ending of the show, I still want to know what happens next... so yeah. I hope you enjoy!

Adora's POV

The war was finally over. Horde Prime had finally been defeated, and Etheria was safe. Most of the soldiers from the Fright Zone had renounced their positions, and those who didn't want to make amends for their mistakes ran away to the Crimson Waste.

I was standing on top of a hill, staring down at a beautiful meadow. I heard light footsteps on the grass behind me, and turned to see Catra. I held out my hand, and she took it. I pulled her towards me so our foreheads touched.

"It's over," I whispered. "He's gone."

"Good riddance," Catra mumbled.

I ran my fingers through her hair, then let my hand rest at the base of her neck. I gently pulled her in for a kiss, but before our lips touched, Glimmer and Bow pounced on us, sending us rolling down the hill. The four of us laughed as we came to a stop, and we stared up at the sky.

"So, what are we gonna do now?" Bow asked, propping himself up on his elbow.

I thought about that for a second.

"We can bring magic back to the universe," I suggested. "What do you guys say to one last Best Friend's Squad adventure?"

"I'm in!" Glimmer cheered.

"Obviously!" Bow agreed.

"Of course I'm going with you, dummy," Catra said, punching me in the arm.

I laughed. "Then let's do this. Together."

Glimmer's POV

A couple days passed, and the four of us were packing up the ship, Darla. Entrapta was inside at the control panel, running diagnostics and making adjustments before take off. She wasn't coming, but she insisted on making sure Darla was in perfect condition for long-distance travelling.

I kept teleporting to and from my bedroom, bringing my and Bow's luggage. Between the two of us, we had quite a lot.

"Hey, Sparkles! You done yet?" Catra asked. She and Adora were leaning against the ship, waiting for us. They only had one bag each, and had already stored it on Darla.

"Yup! This was my last load," I said.

"Took you long enough," she said. "Why do you need so much stuff, anyway?"

"I like being prepared!" I said. "It's better to be safe than sorry. Where's Bow?"

"He's helping Entrapta," Catra said, pointing her thumb towards the open door. "If that's your last bag, we should get going."

"Sure, sure, just... can we wait a little longer?" I asked, biting my lip so that I wouldn't spoil the surprise right then and there.

"Argh! Sparkles! We've been waiting for hours!"

"It's been thirty minutes," Adora defended. "And she has a very good reason, I promise."

"Umm... you guys are acting weird," Catra said.

I laughed, then took both the girls' hands and dragged them in through the front doors of the palace.

"Oops, wait here," I said, then teleported into Darla to grab Bow and Entrapta. "You done with that? Okay, great!"

I pulled them away from the control board without waiting for a response. I teleported back to Adora and Catra, then the five of us ran over towards the ballroom.

"Sparkles, what's going on?" Catra asked as we approached the doors. "And Adora, why are you giggling like that?"

I looked at Bow, and he gave a nod. We pushed the doors open, to reveal a party going on inside.

"What... what is this?" Catra wondered as we pulled her inside.

"Surprise!" Bow, Adora, Entrapta, and I yelled.

Catra looked confused as she looked at the celebration. "I don't really understand what's going on..." she admitted timidly, rubbing the back of her neck.

"This is a party!" Bow explained. "We're throwing it for you!"

"For... for me?"

"Yeah! And for Scorpia. You guys have never been to a real one before—other than Princess Prom, but that was kind of... violent... so we thought we'd host one before we leave."

"Aww, you guys..." Catra muttered. "I really don't deserve any of this."

"Preposterous!" I said. "You saved me, then you saved Adora, and then you helped save all of Etheria. You've earned this!"

"Come on!" Adora cried, grabbing Catra's arm and pulling her towards the snack table. "There's something you really need to try."
