after the war

the end of the war (3rd pov)

The war has finally ended. It's been so long since anyone had been at peace like this. for the princesses, they had never felt this free. catra looked over at Adora, and she looked back at catra. "we did it, we won."   Adora said looking at catra longingly. Catra could tell something was up, she had known Adora for as long as she could remember.   "what's wrong now?" catra blurted out, regretting her choice of words as soon as she said them. "did you mean it?" Adora asked, "what you said before, that is" catra didn't know how to answer. she meant it sure, but catra wasn't the most affectionate type at times. "of course I meant it, dummy. I love you and always will." 

Mermista, on the other hand, was still trying to shut seahawk up. "you good over there?" Catra said as she walked over to see what Mermista was going on about.  With a groan, Mermista replied "Seahawk is switching from shanties to love songs. I never thought I would say this but, I miss the shanties!"

Glimmer and Bow teleport over to Adora, informing her that they were gonna head to brightmoon and start setting up for the big victory party. Bow asked Adora to gather the princesses and get there in about an hour, and teleported away. 

At that moment, the rebellion saw the former horde soldiers coming from the horizon. Catra walked back up onto the viewpoint with Adora. "what are we gonna do with all the extra people now that there is no more fright zone?" catra asked, concerned for her friends in the horde. "I wasn't very nice to everyone last time I saw them, I was hoping I could help them get settled in."

Adora was quiet for a moment, she hadn't gotten that far, not yet anyway.  "i'm not sure" Adora half-yelled in surprise. "introduce them to real food i guess." 

Adora scolded herself. Catra was finally opening up about her feelings and she was cracking jokes. fortunately catra didn't mind. she was thinking about food too, for she hadn't eaten in what seemed like forever. "i'm hungry." Catra complained. "can we go to Brightmoon and steal some snacks?" adora let out a chuckle. she was hungry as well. Adora considered Catras offer. "lets gather the others and then head out." 

After letting all the princesses know to meet at the castle in an hour. Adora pulled Swiftwind away after much convincing and promised Brightmoons entire supply of sugar cubes. "Come on Catra!" Adora yelled mounting Swiftwind "our ride is here."
