The Mystery girl (catradora comic)

Chapter 19: Christmas party

Adora's pov

I was sitting at the kitchen table with my face in my hand. I checked my phone to see that it was already 5:25. Maybe she isn't coming. I heard the doorbell ring but didn't get my hopes up. I heard Glimmer say "finally you're here". I couldn't make out the other person's voice because the party was loud but Glimmer was the only thing that could be louder then our surround sound system. I closed my eyes and just sat there. Why would she not want to come. Did I do something wrong? "Hey Adora" I opened my eyes to see Catra standing in front of me. I jumped out of my seat and hugged her. Not letting her go I said "I thought you weren't going to come". I hugged her tighter when she tried to get out of my embrace. She said "Yeah i'm sorry I went to a cafe, ran into Brittany, and-" I cut her off when I pulled away, looked her in the eyes, and said "You ran into Brittany?". She nodded her head and said "yeah she was working at the cafe and I sat down and talked to her". "So you were late to my party because you were talking to your ex?" I asked her ,feeling jealous, mad, and hurt. She must have noticed I was upset because she grabbed my chin and looked me in the eyes. "Not entirely". "Well then why were you late?" I asked her hoping that she would tell me the truth. "I was going to show up 10 minutes later then 5 because I wanted to worry you a little." I pushed her hand away and then asked her "Why were you 25 minutes late then." "because me and Brittany didn't stop talking until 5:15 and when I noticed the time and chugged my drink and ran out of the store. I got on my bike and drove here as fast as possible but I got pulled over and got a speeding ticket." "Seriously?" I asked her. She reached in her pocket and pulled out a speeding ticket. "Wow. Why would you speed?" I asked her. "Because I care about you and knew you were going to be really worried." She said. I smiled and grabbed her hand. I pulled her upstairs and told her to stay there. I grabbed the plate with the cookie and brought it back out to her. She grabbed it and asked "Is this my present for christmas?" She looked up from the cookie and then at me. She smiled a real smile not a smirk but a real smile. I was shocked. "Hey Adora is something wrong?" she asked me. I just looked at her and smiled "It's just that you smiled" I said. "I smile a lot, what are you talking about" "No you smirk this time you gave me a real smile" I told her. "Well I guess that because no one has ever really made me something and it means a lot plus you yourself just make me happy" she said looking me dead in the eyes and giving me a soft smile. I could feel my face heat up and my heart start to beat faster. "You really mean that?" I asked her. "Of course dummy. Now do you want me to eat this or what?" I laughed and nodded my head. She took a bite and her eyes widened. "I-is it bad?" I asked her. She shook her back and forth. "No it's really good and even if it wasn't good i'd tell you but still eat it." I let her finish her cookie and then grabbed her hand and pulled her down the stairs. "What are you doing Adora!" She asked me. I took her plate put it in the sink and said "we're going to dance"

Catra's pov

"We're going to dance" I stopped and said "No". "Why?" because I don't dance" I told her. "Please will you do it for me?" She asked ,giving me puppy dog eyes. "That's cute but no" I told her. "Whyyyyyy" She whined. "I already told you I don't dance." I told her. "Are you sure its just because you can't dance?" She said with a smug smile on her face. I got upset and kinda yelled "NO". She looked shocked for a minute and then said "Prove it". I scoffed and said "you want me to prove it". Adora just nodded her head and I said "Fine. Watch me." I walked into the living room and changed the song. I walked into the middle of the room and just started break dancing. I could hear everyone cheering and circling around me. Can't dance, watch this Adora. I stood up and did a back flip. I then did a handstand and went back to break dancing. When the song ended I stood up and walked over to where Adora was standing, getting patts on the back and good jobs as I did. When I reached her I walked right in front of her and said "Hey Adora". She went red but stuttered out. "S-so I guess y-you can dance". "No dip sherlock" "Well then why didn't you want to dance with me?" She asked me. "Because I didn't want to embarrass you," I told her. I just didn't feel like it. "I can dance fine for your information" She shot back defensively. I was about to say something when Sparkles came on the intercom. "All right everybody now's the time to give that special someone of yours a gift if you brought one". "I wasn't informed of this," I said. "That's fine but I'll be right back," Adora said as she ran up the stairs. A few minutes later she reappeared but this time she had a box in her hands. She walked up to me and handed it to me. "I know it's not much but i wasn't exactly sure of what to get you since I don't know a lot about you." She's right she doesn't know a lot about me but I know a lot about her. "I'm sure whatever it is is great" I say as I open the box. Inside the box there is a drawing of me and Adora along with a red mask that looked hand made. I looked up at her and asked her "Did you make this" She nodded her head. I took the mask out of the box and put it on. I covered a little bit of my face and it branched off of my face as well. It felt nice. "Thanks, I will cherish it forever," I told her. Her face lit up when I said that. "Hey follow me" I told her. "Okay where are we going" "You'll see" I told her. We walked through the party and outside. I walked out to my bike and grabbed the box I had tied to the back of it. "Here" I said as I pushed it towards her. "But I thought you said you didn't know about the gift exchange" She told me. "I didn't but I brought this just in case you had something for me" i told her. She gave me a soft smile and opened the box. Her eyes widened as she pulled out my jacket. "Is this your Letterman?" She asked me. "Yeah" I told her. She slid it on and spun around. I laughed at her display. "How does it look?" She asked me. "It's just a little short but it looks good." "So when do you want it back?" She asked me. "Never you can have it" I told her. She looked at me and said "I cant take your Letterman Catra." "It's fine Adora. It's my first Letterman so it's the one from the Horde and I want you to have it." I told her. She smiled and asked "Is it okay if I wear it around school?" "As long as your okay with wearing the Horde logo" I told her. "That's fine by me" She said. I smiled and told her to come over to me. She walked over and I went behind her. I pulled the necklace out of my pocket and out it on her. I stepped away and she looked down at her necklace and then back at me. She hugged me tighter than last time. I hugged her back and let go when she pulled away. She flashed me that crooked smile of hers that i loved so much. "Hey do you wanna go for a ride?" I asked her. "Sure." Adora responded. I got on my bike and she sat behind me. "Hold on tight princess." I told her. I could feel her grip tighten and I started my bike and started driving.
