The Alliance

Twinkle
yo what is everybody up to for the
last week of vacation?
my parents are working again and
i’m bored :(

Sea-Ra
can’t you entertain yourself?

Twinkle
i could but i don’t want to

Applesauce MeowMeow
tough shit glitter

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Catra and I are on the way to the cost
right now, we were going to spend the
week at Razz’s old house there.
So, sorry we’re not home right now...
Oh but wait!
Actually you should just join us up here!
Catra just punched me at that.
But you should totally come anyway!

Twinkle
wow catra i’m wounded
i thought you liked me

Applesauce MeowMeow
no clue where you got that idea

Twinkle
anyway i’m totally gonna come

Arrow Boy
Oh can I can come too?
I love the coast!

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Yes!
How about the others?
There’s a big attic where we could all have a
sleepover, there should be enough mattresses
and pillows for everyone.
It would be so much fun!

Applesauce MeowMeow
you want me to sleep in a fucking attic

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Well if you want you can obviously sleep in
my bedroom but you’d be lonely.
Also we’re sitting next to each other,
just talk to me like a normal person.

Applesauce MeowMeow
no
don’t disturb me im listening to music

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Okay :(
So, coast vocation everybody, how do
you feel about it? :)

Sea-Ra
we’re there
but i request beach time everyday

Inspector Pirate
AftEr aLL tHe SEA is oUR SeCoNd loVe!!!!!!!

Applesauce MeowMeow
urgh why?

Arrow Boy
Because we all know you secretly like us.
Scorpia, Perfuma, what about you?

Flowergirl
I don’t know… I was just going to study
for the last quarter of school and the exams…

Twinkle
boo
come on, live a little!

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Yes Perfuma, please?
It would be so awesome!

Flowergirl
I’ll think about it okay?
I gotta ask my parents first anyway.

Arrow Boy
Okay well Glimmer and I will take the train
tomorrow at 8, which means we’ll be there
at about 12.
Anybody who wants to join us is welcome to!

Happysmile Rainbowfist
We’ll meet you at the station.

Applesauce MeowMeow
correction we will in fact meet you
at the house

Happysmile Rainbowfist
But we will have food ready for you!

Applesauce MeowMeow
unless you have eaten it all by then
seriously, you would not believe the
amount of snacks she has packed for
the train ride alone

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Well excuse me for being comfortable
enogh to eat around you.

Twinkle
oh wow that seemed to shut her up

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Shhh, Catra is hugging me right now!
:DDD

Applesauce MeowMeow
this is not because i like you

Happysmile Rainbowfist
I know ;) <3

Arrow Boy
Aww Catra hugging you? I wonder if
I’ll ever experience firsthand what
that feels like?

Applesauce MeowMeow
unlikely

Big Bug
I have! It feels very nice! :)))

Applesauce MeowMeow
shut up
mermaid, moustache when should i
prepare myself for your dreaded arrival?

Sea-Ra
wow i feel so welcome
we’re gonna be in the same train as bow
and glimmer but we’ll board like halfway

Twinkle
why? where are you now?

Sea-Ra
oh some forest in the middle of nowhere

Twinkle
well okay
but what are you doing there?

Inspector Pirate
hIkINg!!

Sea-Ra
with his family and they are all
exactly as annoying
it sucks

Applesauce Meowmeow
welcome to my life

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Aww you consider us family?

Applesauce MeowMeow
completely the wrong thing to take
away from that

Twinkle
catra… do you like us?

Flowergirl
That is so sweet! <3

Arrow Boy
We love you too!!!! <3 :)

Applesauce MeowMeow
i hate you all
scorpia I swear
you have to come too
don’t leave me alone with all these
idiots for a whole week

Twinkle
that is no way to speak to your family
young lady
but you should come!

Big Bug
I don’t know…
I would love to, but I have to see if
my family has anything planned.

Twinkle
did you miss something?
we are your family now
and we have beach time planned with you

Big Bug
Yeah alright.
I checked and I’m free for the week,
so ocean here I come!! :))))

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Yayyyy!!! :)
Perfuma, what about you?

Flowergirl
I can come, but there is some sort of
family gathering that I must attend
tomorrow, so I’m gonna take the train
the day after.

Applesauce MeowMeow
haha imagine having family gatherings

*Twinkle renamed the chat to Family Gatherings*

Applesauce MeowMeow
nuh uh

Twinkle
yuh uh

Arrow Boy
I hate to be that guy, but uh, I am actually
already in a chat with my relatives that has
the same name so uh

* Arrow Boy renamed the chat to The Alliance *

Arrow Boy
Sorry :(

Twinkle
fine
but
everybody is on bord for coast vocation!!!!

Applesauce MeowMeow
oh fuck

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Let’s goooooo!!!!

Chapter Text

The Alliance

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Did everyone get home okay?

Twinkle
yes mom

Flowergirl
Yup

Sea-Ra
sea hawk and me are home as well

Big Bug
Mee too!
I feel like I need three weeks of sleep
after that.

Arrow Boy
Same.
I think we all got like six hours of
sleep combined.

Happysmile Rainbowfist
I told you, we should’ve gone to bed sooner.

Applesauce MeowMeow
or we could’ve slept in instead of
being woken upby an annoying
blonde who wanted to watch
the fucking sunrise everyday

Happysmile Rainbowfist
But it was pretty! :(

Arrow Boy
Both of you be quiet and go to sleep.

Twinkle
yes because tomorrow is the first day
of our last weeks of school
ever!

Applesauce MeowMeow
you suck

Sea-Ra
shut it glimmer

Inspector Pirate
iT Is kinDa sAD :(

Arrow Boy
Yes right :(

Happysmile Rainbowfist
We only have a few joint cafeteria lunches
left. :(

Sea-Ra
the food is horrible

Twinkle
no more laughing and gossiping about
annoying teachers :(

Applesauce MeowMeow
yeah all that’s left is laughing at you trying
to pretend that you’re cool

Twinkle
well i was not the one who started
skateboarding in 7^th grade because
she wanted to be like Avril Lavigne
and those flannels

Applesauce MeowMeow
hey that’s lesbian culture you’re attacking there

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Yeah Glimmer, don’t come for the flannels!

Twinkle
shut up horsegirl

Inspector Pirate
ohHhohho

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Make me, Vsco-Girl.

Inspector Pirate
OhOHHOO

Arrow Boy
Please not this again.

Flowergirl
What is happening?

Arrow Boy
Since 8^th grade and Glimmer said ‘save the
turtles’ once they have just been throwing
this back and forth like actual insults.

Big Bug
Okay so I get Vsco-Girl because of the
turtles (even tho I still don’t really get
what it is), but where does horsegirl
come from?

Twinkle
when bow and i first went to her
room in 7th she had 3 horse
posters, a stuffed unicorn and like
10 books on horses

Sea-Ra
that makes so much sense

Applesauce MeowMeow
you don’t even know the half of it
in primary she had everything with
horses on it
clothes, swimwear, umbrellas, a
backpack, you name it
i was forced to watch so many
horsey cartoons, i still get nightmares

Happysmile Rainbowfist
You wanna go down that road?
Fine.
You know what Catra was obsessed with?
Black licorice.

Sea-Ra
ew catra what the fuck?
that shit is vile

Applesauce MeowMeow
adora had a bigger crush on princess
leia in the gold bikini than any
straight guy that has walked on this
earth

Happysmile Rainbowfist
I know the lyrics to every single
Green Day song because Catra made
me to listen to all of it when
she decided to be an angsty teenager

Applesauce MeowMeow
now that’s just good taste

Happysmile Rainbowfist
And Carrie Fisher was just that hot!
R.I.P. :(

Twinkle
agreed (to both)
at least none of you used to secretly
practice crunches in your room when
the rest of your family was asleep like
bow who really wanted a sixpack as a
9 year old

Inspector Pirate
nO wAy!!
I diD tHat ToO!!!

Arrow Boy
Ha!
Glimmer had this phase where she
would only wear the most absurd
hats with obnoxious patterns,
colours, and monstrous brims and
claim ‘it made her look like a queen’.

Applesauce MeowMeow
please tell me you have pictures of that

Arrow Boy
I don’t, but I’m pretty sure her parents do.

Twinkle
anyway!
perfuma, mermista what about you
any childhood secrets?

Flowergirl
After I introduced Mermista to the
Barbie Movies, she always casually
“proposed” we could watch one
whenever she came over to my house.

Twinkle
mermista, a secret barbie stan: confirmed

Arrow Boy
To be fair, Barbie rules!

Sea-Ra
yes
perfuma talks to plants

Flowergirl
Well they are also living creatures
that deserve respect!

Applesauce MeowMeow
we also already knew that

Sea-Ra
well i don’t know aside from being
freakishly tall and emotionally aware
she was a fairly normal child

Twinkle
booo

Big Bug
Suddenly I’m very glad none of you
knew me in primary school.

Applesauce MeowMeow
you once told me you used to be
genuinely afraid of everything,
from ghosts, over a spontaneous
armageddon, to lizard people so…

Big Bug
Oh yeah, I forgot about that, haha.

Happysmile Rainbowfist
You know what I was genuinely afraid of as a kid?
Quicksand.
Like I really believed that was a problem I would
have to deal with all the time.

Inspector Pirate
rIghT?

Big Bug
So many hours wasted preparing to get out
of sand trying to drown me :(

Twinkle
you spent hours worrying about quicksand?

Happysmile Rainbowfist
So many hours.

Sea-Ra
well i used to worry that my parents would
abandon me in a forest like hansel and gretel
but sure, quicksand is frightning too

Twinkle
sheesh mermista

Arrow Boy
Seriously guys, it’s time to go to bed.
And please don’t dream about quicksand,
abandonment or horse cartoons or
whatever your childhood fears were.

Applesauce MeowMeow
yeah dream about your fears now, like the
upcoming exams ;)

Twinkle
well fuck you too

The Alliance

GlimBow

Bowbow

Glimglim
bow it’s too early
but good morning to you too <3

Bowbow
Right sorry :(
Are we going to school together today?

Glimglim
yes
we always do

Bowbow
yea so…
we should probably wait a little longer
to tell them right?

Glimglim
yeah i mean with all this stress of school
starting again and its still new so…

Bowbow
Yeah, it’s probably better this way.

Glimglim
probably
so i’ll see you soon <3

Bowbow
yeah see you soon <3

The Alliance

Flowergirl
Math is boring.

Applesauce MeowMeow
you’re just noticing that?

Arrow Boy
Aww come on, math can be interesting :(

Applesauce MeowMeow
go away nerd

Twinkle
catra you have the highest grades
out of all of us

Applesauce MeowMeow
yeh whatever

Flowergirl
We all on for lunch?

Big Bug
Yep!

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Obviously.

Ride or Die

Brat
so something is totally up with sparkles
and crop top right?

Idiot
Thank you!
Like I can’t describe it, but since this morning
they seem… weird.

Brat
they were weird during vocation too
like they’re planning something

Idiot
Did we forget some kind of upcoming
celebration or...?

Brat
no I checked
no special dates anywhere in the near future

Idiot
Hmmm
I have next period with Bow, I’ll ask him then.

Brat
i can see glitter from here
shes on her phone, give me one minute

Mean Bisexual & Even Meaner Lesbian

Horde Scum
dude what’s up your ass?

Sparkles
huh?

Horde Scum
you’re being weird

Sparkles
what? no I’m not!

Horde Scum
liar
you know i can see you blushing right?

Sparkles
look away weirdo

GlimBow

Glimglim
shit, catra is questioning me
do you think adora noticed something?

Bowbow
Well we’re about to find out.
I have next period with her.

Glimglim
lol good luck

Ride or Die

Brat
she is denying too hard
something is definitely up
grill him good

Idiot
I will do my best.

GlimBow

Bowbow
Phuh, that was exhausting.
I felt like I was interrogated by a
police officer.

Glimglim
aww poor baby :(

Bowbow
Hey!

Glimglim
what, i’m pitying you <3

Bowbow
Well it doesn’t feel like that :(

Glimglim
2 more hours, then we’re done
 and i’ll make you feel better ;)

Bowbow
:DDDDDD

Ride or Die

Brat
and?

Idiot
No details, but he did vaguely mention
that it’s not his decision to share…
Do you think they just don’t want to
tell me? :(
What if they are mad?

Brat
Then you have done nothing to deserve it
and I will kick their butts

Mean Bisexual & Even Meaner Lesbian

Horde Scum
fine don’t tell me
but you gotta say something to adora, she’s
really hurt that you’re keeping something
from her and thinks you’re mad at her
or something

Sparkles
yeah well maybe that’s not my decision
but we’re not mad at her

Horde Scum
then whos decision is it?

Sparkles
well i’m not going to go spill bows
secrets to other people

Horde Scum
urgh really?
like that’s nice and all but i have reason
to believe that archer thinks this is your
secret, so maybe you two should have a talk
about that and then talk to adora
or i’ll be forced to kick your butts

GlimBow

Glimglim
hey uhm, can i ask you something?

Bowbow
Yeah sure what’s up?

Glimglim
what do you think would happen if we told
our friends?
or like just adora?

Bowbow
I don’t know, I mean she was enthusiastic
when I told her about my feelings so I
think she would be happy.
I can imagine the others would probably
be too.
You know they’re very supportive.

Glimglim
okay then why do you not want
to tell them?

Bowbow
uhm because you seem to be
uncomfortable with it?

Glimglim
oh bow
i was uncomfortable because i thought
you wanted to keep it a secret!

Bowbow
Oh!
So we can tell them? :)

Glimglim
yeah we can :)
but i want to tell adora first

Best Friend Squad

Sun
Adora, do you think we could steal you for a
talk after school, like privately?

Stars
Uhm, sure?
 I think Catra had plans with Scorpia anyway.

Moon
perfect
do you wanna get ice cream?

Sun
yes please :)

Ride or Die

Idiot
Holy shit Cat!
This is AMAZING!

The Alliance

Arrow Boy
So, we have some news.
I want to preface this by saying that we’re sorry
we didn’t tell you sooner, there was a little
misunderstanding, but it’s all good now.

Applesauce MeowMeow
oh wow this is happening now?

Big Bug
Ooohhh what is it?

Arrow Boy
So Glimmer and I have been talking and…

Sea-Ra
just spit it out

Twinkle
…we’re together!

Hapysmile Rainbowfist
I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!

Twinkle
we know adora
but thanks :)

Inspector Pirate
coNgrAtULaTIoNs!!!!!

Flowergirl
So sweet! :)
When did that happen?

Arrow Boy
The first week of vocation.
Our families share a house in the
mountains so we spent a lot of
time together and one day we
were talking on the terrasse and
it kind of just happened. :)

Big Bug
Aww that’s so sweet!

Sea-Ra
i totally saw this coming

Applesauce MeowMeow
we *all* totally saw this coming

Inspector Pirate
WeLl I dID NoT! :(

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Don’t worry Sea Hawk, I also didn’t know
before they told me.

Applesauce MeowMeow
yeah that was funny
you were so offended you didn’t
figure it out on your own

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Hey!

Inspector Pirate
MeRmISTa!!!
We CAn gO on DouBle-dATes NoW!

Sea-Ra

Twinkle

Inspector Pirate
:(

Arrow Boy

Chapter Text

The Alliance

Applesauce MeowMeow
okay not to sound like im not happy
for you
but i beg you please stop flirting at
lunch  or in school at all
its disgusting to watch

Flowergirl
Well I think its cute :)

Twinkle
yeah catra don’t be a hater
but if you don’t want us flirting in school i
suppose we could always do it over text
bow, i must say i love your crop top today

Arrow Boy
Oh yeah? You should see me without it. ;)

Twinkle
i plan on it <3

Arrow Boy
You know what you would look
beautiful in?
My arms.<3

Twinkle
you’re so cute
and i admit i absolutely love my bed,
but i’d rather be in yours ;)

Applesauce MeowMeow
urgh
you know what you sound like?
hey adora ;)
what do these arms do?

Ride or Die

Idiot
Really Cat?
Why?
Why me?

Brat
come on
please
and i know you can do better than these
corny ass pickup lines

Idiot
fine

The Alliance

Happysmile Rainbowfist
why don’t you come over and find out?

Applesauce MeowMeow
mhmm I might need some more
convincing

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Maybe I’ll also show you what my
fingers can do ;)

Sea-Ra
pls stop

Arrow Boy
Okay got it!
Message received!
I did not want this image in my head!

Ride or Die

Idiot
Happy?

Brat
very

Mean Bisexual & Even Meaner Lesbian

Sparkles
this must be killing you

Horde Scum
fuck off

Super Pal Duo

Hugger
Do you really think flirting with Adora
is a good idea?
I thought you didn’t want to do
anything about your, uhm, situation?

Wildcat
does no one get jokes anymore????
relax we both did it to fuck with glitter
 and crop top it’s not that serious

Hugger
Oh okay :)

The Alliance

Flowergirl
Adora! There are minors present!

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Oh come on,
only for like a few months more.
And Catra (one of these minors)
challenged me, what was I
supposed to do?

Twinkle
that’s not even what we are like
we are way more romantic!

Arrow Boy
<3

Sea-Ra
barf

Inspector Pirate
sOMetImEs yOu JuST cAN Not HOld
BacK yOuR LOvE!!!
iTs WhY I’M sTiLL wOrKing oN
wHoOiNg YoU dEAreSt!

Flowergirl
Especially if it is a new relationship,
I think it is normal to be a little more
lovey dovey with each other. :)

Applesauce MeowMeow
urgh fine
but i get to complain about it

Arrow Boy
We can live with that.

Best Friend Squad

Moon
are we really that bad?

Stars
Not really.
I mean, yes it is a little awkward to have your
friends be so couple-ly in front of you.
Especially if it’s like a friend group occasion.
But like Perfuma said, your relationship is new,
and it is probably most intense now.
Honeymoon phase and all.

Sun
Okay but you’re not like super
uncomfortable with it?

Stars
Nobody is more happy for you two than me,
and I definitely don’t want you to feel like
you have to hide or repress your relationship
with me.
And the same goes for Catra, even if she is
probably never going to stop teasing you.

Moon
okay cause when we got together, we said
that we don’t want this to change anything

Sun
Like obviously there is some change in our
dynamic, but we’ll try not to let it affect
our friendship with you and the others.

Stars
We appreciate your consideration :)
And listen, about Catra: don’t take her
complainingto heart too much.
To be honest I think she just feels
a little weird about like… love.
Okay that sounded worse than it
should have.
Sweetness is just not something
she’s used to.

The Alliance

Arrow Boy
How about this?
If it’s something we wouldn’t say to
our friends, we won’t say it in front
of you.

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Huh?

Arrow Boy
Like the ‘I like your shirt’ one.
You would say that to your friends.

Flowergirl
For example:
Scorpia I like your shirt :)

Big Bug
Thank you, I like your dress! :)

Flowergirl
Thank you!
Your hair looked really good today!

Big Bug
Not as beautiful as yours with all
these flower clips!

Perfuma
You are so kind :)

Sea-Ra
oookay

Arrow Boy
Yes, exactly like that.
But if it’s explicitly romantic we
keep it for private conversations.

Sea-Ra
seems complicated
also we’re all queer
do you really think any of us has
a clear distinction between what’s
romantic and platonic?

Twinkle
well how do you 2 do it?

Sea-Ra
i’m just constantly busy shutting
him down

Inspector Pirate
bUt yOU stIlL loVe Me!

Sea-Ra
unfortunately

Applesauce MeowMeow
okay but like why

Sea-Ra
i don’t know, it just is

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Wow this is the most romantic thing I have ever
heard Mermista say about their relationship. :o

Inspector Pirate
AwW dEarESt <3

Sea-Ra
go away

Chapter Text

Super Pal Duo

Wildcat
hey can i come over to your house
for tonight?

Hugger
Sure, why?
Are you okay?

Wildcat
yeah don’t worry everything is fine.
adora and hope are just going to
have a family discussion later and it
would be awkward for me to be there

Hugger
Oh okay, no problem :)

Wildcat
perfect thanks

Hugger
Super Pal Duo sleepover!!! :)

Ride or Die

Idiot
Hey, are you awake?

Brat
yes dummy
the day i fall asleep before you
something is seriously wrong

Idiot
Haha.
So uhm, I told her.

Brat
and?

Idiot
Well I mean she didn’t shout or anything…
You know Hope, I don’t think her vocal cords
are physically capable of that.
But her face just like dropped.
No one has said a word since then.

Brat
that sucks
still it’s good you told her
you want me to come back?

Idiot
Nah, enjoy your sleepover.
It’s probably a lot more welcoming over
there right now.

Brat
okay
dora i can see you typing

Idiot
Urgh, I just know you’re not gonna like it.
I can’t help but wonder if I made a mistake.

Brat
you’re right
i don’t like it
look
it felt good when you told her right?
like before her reaction
just saying it felt good?

Idiot
Yes.

Brat
then it wasn’t a mistake
we’ve talked about this
this is about your future, its okay to
be selfish about this

Idiot
Theoretically I know this, but it just doesn’t
feel like that.
Maybe if I apologize to hope again, she’ll
feel better.

Brat
what the fuck no
don’t you dare apologize for that

Idiot
I owe her that at least.

Brat
do you think i owe shadow weaver
an apology?

Idiot
Of course not!
But that’s different.

Brat
well yes
but she lashed out at me for being a child
she never wanted
hope is disappointed in you for not being
something she wants you to be
both of it is about their own expectations

Idiot
Okay, but apologizing won’t hurt me and
I just want us to be okay again.
I can’t lose her too.

Brat
do what you want

Idiot
Cat, come on.

Brat
no
i’m not gonna support you doing
something I think is wrong

 Best Friend Squad

Stars
Guys,
I need some advice.

Sun
shoot

Stars
So uhm, you’re probably going to need some
context here…
You know how both my parents, Mara and
Hope were (in Hopes case still are)
all lawyers?
Because of that, for my whole life
it was just assumed that I would
become one too.
And today I told Hope that I don’t want to.
Now she is extremely disappointed, and I
want to apologize to her,  but Catra
thinks I shouldn’t.
And now I don’t know what to do.

Moon
okay wow
that’s a lot

Sun
I mean… what exactly do you mean with
‘it was assumed’?
Like did you used to say you would study
law or did Hope say that?
Because like unless you promised her you
would become a lawyer you really don’t
have to apologize.

Stars
As a child I always told Mara I wanted to be
like her and our parents when I grew up.
And then when Hope started making remarks
about my future I just never corrected her.

Moon
adora what you said as a child shouldn’t
be binding till now
as a child i wanted to be a fashion designer
nobody expects me to do that

Sun
I wanted to be a baker, solely because
I liked cake.

Stars
Yeah, but none of this is what your
parental figures do.

Sun.
True.
But Adora, ultimately I don’t think
you owe Hope an apology, but if i
t’ll make you and her feel better
we’re not going to tell you not to.

Moon
yes but make sure you get it through
your skull that you’re not apologizing
for not doing something that won’t
make you happy
at most you’re apologizing for not
telling her sooner

Stars
 I will, thank you.

Ride or Die

Idiot
Okay look, I’m sorry.
I know that I shouldn’t  be apologizing
for not doing what I want. And when I talked
to Hope she said that I don’t even have to
apologize for not telling her sooner.
She even apologized to me for just assuming.
It's just that I’m the only thing she has left of
Mara and she clung to me saying I want to
be like her.
Long story short, I’m sorry, please stop
being mad at me.

Brat
stupid
stop fucking apologizing for everything
that’s not how you fix problems

Idiot
Okay fine, I’ll stop.
You know, you’re probably going to
become Hope’s favorite now. ;)

Brat
ha no way
that woman is tolerating me at best

Idiot
That’s not true, she just represses
her feelings very well.

Brat
maybe that’s were you get it from

Idiot
:(
That was me expressing my
feelings by the way.

Brat
you’re an idiot

Idiot
I know :)

Super Pal Duo

Hugger
You got home okay?

Wildcat
yep

Hugger
Great! Is everything okay there?
If Adora and Hope still have their thing or whatever,
you are always welcome to come here you know :)

Wildcat
na its actually better right now
plus i think they are actually both very happy
im here, as like a buffer for their combined awkwardness
and it’s nice to feel like that for once you know?

Hugger
I’m always thankful for you and your presence!

Wildcat
yeah i know, but that’s a little different

Hugger
Why?
Because you’re in love with her?

Wildcat
no stop
we’re not talking about that
also that’s not what i mean
it’s just nice to feel welcome in a family you know?

Hugger
Wildcat, my moms love you and you’re
always welcome with us!
I’m sorry if we made you feel differently! :(

Wildcat
scorpia chill
i know you and your moms like me
i don’t exactly understand why
but I know you do

Hugger
Because you’re awesome!
I just want you to feel loved! <3

Wildcat
i’m fine

Buddies

Gardenia
Hey, I have a question…

Lotus
Yes?

Gardenia
It’s about flowers.

Lotus
Oh fun!

Gardenia
If you wanted to show someone that you really appreciate
them, and like spending time with them, and just generally
want them want to know they are loved (by you haha), what
sort of flowers would you send them?

Lotus
Well, does this person know anything about flowers?

Gardenia
Uhm no, I don’t think so?

Lotus
Oh.
Well then it’s probably not very important what
kind of flowers you send them, because they don’t
understand the symbolism.
In this case you can just send them flowers in
their favorite colour.
I think just getting flowers will show
someone you like them. :)

Gardenia
Oh okay.

Lotus
But maybe they’ll look it up!

Gardenia
Yes maybe.

Lotus
Well roses obviously show love.
If it’s romantic love you want to express, you would
choose red, if it’s platonic love yellow.
And how many you sent can also say something.
Generally the more roes, the stronger the love,
but in your case I would maybe recommend 5, expressing
just general love and caring.

Gardenia
Do you think I could combine red and yellow roses?
Like friendship, but maybe it could be more?

Lotus
That’s a sweet idea.
Alstroemeria or freesia are also very pretty and
symbolize friendship.
For admiration you could go for red
carnations or pansy.

Gardenia
Thank you so much! :)
That was very helpful!

Lotus
Oh no problem!
I’m always happy to help! :)

Gardenia
:)

Ride or Die

Idiot
Uhm where are you?

Brat
fzu

Idiot
Why?

Brat
i just wanted to look, maybe i’ll apply there

Idiot
Okay, we can talk about this later.
You got mail.
Or well, not quite mail.
I just got handed a massive bouquet on your behalf.
From Scorpia?

Brat
oh come on

Super Pal Duo

Wildcat
scorpia what did you do?

Hugger
Do you like it? :)

Wildcat
i haven’t seen it yet
i went to fzu this afternoon, looking around

Hugger
Oh FZU!
You have to tell me about it later, I was also
thinking of applying there!
Wouldn’t it be awesome if we went to the same uni? :)

Wildcat
scorpia get back to topic
adora is very fucking confused and so am i

Hugger
Well it’s not for her, it’s for you.
I wanted to show you how much I appreciate
you and your friendship!

Wildcat
this is way to much!
it’s nice and all but like
why?

Hugger
Because you deserve it!

Wildcat
okay

Ride or Die

Idiot
Catra?
What is happening?
Oh.
Is there something going on between you
and Scorpia?

Brat
no
why would you think this

Idiot
I don’t know, the bouquet full of roses maybe?

Brat
don’t be stupid
friends can send each other flowers
what’s it to you anyways?

Idiot
Bow and Glimmer never send me flowers.

Brat
scorpia is just sickenly sweet
you know this

Idiot
Well yes, but sending you flowers?

Brat
i just said something offhand to her about
how it’s nice to feel wanted for once
and now she’s got it in her skull that she
hasn’t shown me how much she values
our friendship

Idiot
Of course you’re wanted!
I wanted to be your friend since I first saw you!

Brat
oh please not you too

Idiot
So Scorpia is allowed to send you flowers,
but I’m not allowed to tell you I want to be
friends with you?
I have known you for over 15 years and you
haven’t felt welcome all this time? :(

Brat
adora i have never said that

Idiot
Well what did you say?
And why haven’t you talked to me about it?

Brat
do i have to tell you everything?

Idiot
No, of course not!
I just thought that’s the kind of friendship we had…

Brat
there is tons of shit you have only talked
about with sparkles and crop top!

Idiot
Is this what this is about?
Glimmer and Bow mean a lot to me, but you’ll
always be my best friend!

Brat
no this is not at all what this is about
but since you are so convinced i’d rather
spend my time with scorpia than with
you, i’ll sleep at her house again tonight

Idiot
Fine.

Chapter Text

Best Friend Squad

Stars
I fucked up.
Big time.

Sun
Adora we’ve talked about this.
You tend to overthink stuff.
I’m sure you haven’t “fucked up”.

Stars
Scorpia sent Catra a gigantic bouquet of flowers.
And at first I thought it was because they were together or
something, but turns out it was just to cheer her up.
Because apparently Catra now tells all her secrets she keeps
from me to Scorpia.
So then I maybe blew up a little.

Moon
okay you might have fucked up

Sun
Glimmer!

Stars
Oh no it’s fine.
Just tell me how to fix it.
I think by now we all know that Catra does not
want an apology from me.

Sun
That’s because apologies only show regret,
they don’t fix the problem.

Stars
So how DO I fix the problem then?

Moon
what even is the problem?
the flowers?
do you wish you would’ve gotten them for her?
maybe you should get her some!

Stars
No Glimmer, it’s not about the flowers.
They’re beautiful and she deserves them,
 no matter who gives them to her.
It’s about the fact that apparently she feels unloved
and didn’t talk to me about it!

Moon
you know catra right?
she does not like to talk about her issues

Stars
Well she sure loves to talk about mine.
And she told Scorpia!

Sun
Those are really two separate things.

Stars
urgh
It’s just that I used to feel like it was us
two against the world.
And yes I know that that’s not healthy and
we have other friends or whatever.
But it hurts to know that she is the one person I would
trust with everything, and she is the one who
gets through to me when I’m breaking down,
and then she doesn’t tell me that she hasn’t felt wanted?

Moon
that is a little shitty

Stars
Yes, thank you Glimmer!

Sun
Adora I know you two have a special relationship
that has blossomed since you were like three.
And that’s beautiful, but you two are kind
of codependent.

Stars
Excuse me?

Sun
I’m sorry, but how protective/possessive you are over
each other isn’t normal.
I remember when you met us and Catra met Scorpia,
you were both so jealous that you made other friends,
and maybe something of that is still there.

Stars
Well what do you want us to do?
Talk to each other less and not spend time together?
I can’t do that!
I cannot live without her!

Sun
This is exactly what I mean.
Whenever you guys fight you either break down
completely or just push the issue away because
you need her to function.

Stars
Well what do you guys do when you fight?

Sun
Give each other space and then talk.

Moon
and kiss

Stars
Wow thank you Glimmer, that’s helpful.

Ride or Die

Idiot
Bow thinks we should hang out less.

Brat
well then bow’s gonna be very happy
having you obey his orders and stuff

Idiot
Excuse you?
You ran to Scorpia first chance you got!

Brat
because you make it impossible to
be around you with your fucking savior
complex or whatever it is

Idiot
Great, I don’t want to spend time with
you right now either!

Super Pal Duo

Wildcat
you didn’t have to let me sleep in
im not sick

Hugger
Maybe not physically, but I heard
you crying all night…

Wildcat
no you didn’t

Hugger
Wildcat it’s okay.
I just want to help you.
Adora looks miserable by the way…
What happened between you guys?

Wildcat
nothing
she’s being an asshole

Hugger
Sorry, I know it’s none of my business,
but I’m concerned about you. :(

Wildcat
don’t be
everything is fine
i mean i feel like my life is falling apart
but whatever

Hugger
That’s not whatever!
And your life is not falling apart, you have me!

Wildcat
wow i guess now i can forget that the person
who birthed me resents me for existing, i am
basically homeless, and my best friend hates me

Hugger
You aren’t homeless, you can always stay
with my family! :)
I’m sure Adora doesn’t hate you.
And Shadow Weaver is just a horrible person.

Wildcat
Maybe she doesn’t quite hate me yet
but she sure as hell is starting to
why else would she say that she doesn’t want
to be around me anymore

Hugger
Are you kidding me?
She said that?

Wildcat
basically

Hugger
Well then she’s stupid.

Wildcat
she is
but she’s also perfect
and without her nothing makes sense

Hugger
Nobody is perfect.
And you are your own person even without her!

Wildcat
im really not

so can we talk about how this is literally the
first time i have seen adora without her
ponytail in broad daylight?

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Shut up, I was having a bad day!

Flowergirl
I for one thought you looked like an angel.
You should let your hair down more often! :)

Big Bug
She looked like a mess.

Sea-Ra
damn scorpia
what happened to being a giant teddy bear?

Twinkle
well at least adora came to school
instead of hiding all day

Big Bug
Weird, considering that apparently she doesn’t
want to be around people…

Inspector Pirate
I’M sO coNFuSeD?

Sea-Ra
i would make fun of you for it but honestly
i don’t have a clue either

Happysmile Rainbowfist
It’s okay guys, I promise the ponytail
will be back tomorrow.

Flowergirl
It does not sound like this is about the ponytail…

Twinkle
of course it’s not about the ponytail!
it’s about notorious negativity of some people!

Big Bug
No, it’s about some people just being controlling!

Super Pal Duo

Wildcat
for crying out loud scorpia
chill out
this really does not need to be carried to
the group chat

Hugger
But Adora deserves to know that what
she did was bad!

Wildcat
yes
but i dont want you fighting my battles
least of all in front of all my friends

Hugger
Okay :(
But can I foul her a little harder than
accidentally at practice?

Wildcat
sure
you do know that you could’ve just done
that anyway right?
its not like I know what is going on at
your practices

Hugger
Well yeah, but I still wanted to ask you.

Wildcat
look at you starting fights and being violent
i like it

Hugger
Someone has to stand up for you!

Cringe Cult

Horsegirl
Glimmer what the fuck?

Vsco-Girl
scorpia was attacking you!
i’m not gonna stand for that

Horsegirl
You really didn’t need to do that.

Vsco-Girl
if catra has her insulting you,
you can have me insulting catra!

Horsegirl
This isn’t some sort of war in which you’re a soldier.
This is a fight that I have with her, and there is
absolutely no need for you, or Scorpia for that
matter, to get involved in it.

Vsco-Girl
but you were just gonna let her walk all over you

Horsegirl
I was going to try to diffuse the situation.

Vsco-Girl
by making a lighthearted joke about it?

Horsegirl
Yes.
Also let Scorpia take out her frustrations
on me at practice later…

Vsco-Girl
the fuck adora
don’t let her do anything to you!

Horsegirl
I’m gonna be fine.
Am I really controlling?

Vsco-Girl
honestly?
yeah a little
but that’s just your anxiety and you obviously
mean well
and catra is probably exaggerating your
reaction a lot
she catastrophizes
you both do actually

Mean Bisexual & Even Meaner Lesbian

Sparkles
call back your guard dog or i’ll swear i
will steal all your clothes and you’ll
have to go to school naked

Horde Scum
thats a real weird threat
also scorpia is a person and i can’t make her
do or stop doing anything

Sparkles
ah so you’re saying she didn’t just verbally
attack adora in your name?

Horde Scum
of course you think that
whenever someone doesn’t worship the ground
adora walks on it has to be my fault
it’s not like anyone could just come to the conclusion
that she might not be so great on their own

Sparkles
fuck you catra
we both know that the only instance in which
scorpia would ever be even remotely mean
is if she thought you wanted that

Horde Scum
whatever
it’s not like you’re not fighting
adoras battles right now

Sparkles
you’re an asshole

Horde Scum
so are you

We are probably supposed to take sides on this

sounds stupid
just deal with it

Arrow Boy
Maybe we should stop talking about hypothetical
conflicts we don’t know anything about?

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Sounds like a great idea!

Twinkle
yeah no, if somebody has a problem they should say it

Applesauce MeowMeow
so just fuck privacy i guess?

Exactly!
You aren’t entitled to other people’s secrets!

this is so strange

Twinkle
i’m not fighting with scorpia
i’m defending the objectively right position

Big Bug
You can’t claim to be objectively right!
You aren’t!

Twinkle
yes i am!

Big Bug
No you’re not!

Flowergirl
Both of you STOP!
This is getting exhausting. Whatever grievance you have
with each other or whomever we do not want to hear
about it, and you obviously don’t want our help, otherwise
you would tell us what this is about.
So GROW UP and SHUT UP!

Sorry Perfuma :(

Does anyone else think pink is objectively

Twinkle
yes

Sea-Ra

We could all start studying for our final exams?

We could draw each other?

Arrow Boy
That’s cute, but I was actually looking for something
we could do right now you know?
Like as a bonding activity in the chat?

Twinkle
bow we have all known each other for years
we don’t need ‘bonding activities’

Flowergirl
Actually that’s not true, bonding activities
are important at any state of a relationship.

Arrow Boy
Yes Glimmer, do you want our bond to get weaker?

Twinkle
i’m your girlfriend
you are holding my hand this very moment

Arrow Boy
Not anymore :D
I mean your hand.
We’re still dating!

Are you okay?

Idiot
Okay look, I know you don’t want to talk to me,
but this is important.
Shadow Weaver just came to my house asking for you.
She seemed really angry too.
Obviously I didn’t tell her anything except where she
could crawl and die, but I don’t think
she’s going to give up…
So please just be careful alright?

Private Chat

Catra
are you insane?
leave adora alone!

Shadow Weaver
You were not answering me.

Catra
in case it wasn’t obvious, i don’t
want to talk to you!

Shadow Weaver
Elisabeth, you have to come home.

Catra
no i don’t

Shadow Weaver
Yes, you just have to apologize and we
can move on from this.

Catra
i should apologize?
bullshit
i did nothing wrong
you threw me out on the street and now you
want an apology?

Emergency

Glimmer
uhm, shadow weaver just came to my house
looking for catra?
how the fuck does she know where i live?
i never heard my mom yell like that

Adora
Shit.
She’s weird like that, she knows where almost everyone
who goes to the school lives, because she somehow got
her hands on some sort of student data list.

Bow
What the fuck? That has to be illegal!

Adora
Glimmer, did you tell her anything?

Glimmer
no of course not
that woman is insane

Adora
If she knows I’m friends with Glimmer and showed up
at hers, it’s probably only a matter of time before she
comes to the rest of you.
Scorpia I hope you’re good at lying.

Scorpia
I already told my moms to not open the door.

Mermista
then us others shouldn’t either
not draw extra suspicion to scorpia when she’s
the only one not answering the door
let’s hope she stops when she can’t find her

Perfuma
Shouldn’t we call the police?

Scorpia
That’s what I wanted to do too, but Catra said not yet.

Adora
How is she?

Scopria
I’m not sure, she’s been staring at her
phone for a while…
I think it’s her, but she hasn’t said a word
except for shouting angrily.

Private Chat

Shadow Weaver
I admit that was a mistake.
But you just have to come home, and we can fix this.

Catra
why?
what do you want from me?

Shadow Weaver
I only want my daughter back.
You are almost 18, I don’t want to spend the
last days of your childhood in this silly fight.

Catra
this is about my father’s inheritance, right?
you want to have me right where you want me
when i turn 18.
what do you expect me to do? sign it over to you?

Shadow Weaver
I am your mother!

Catra
you haven’t been my mother in a long time
you certainly never loved me
i don’t owe you shit

Shadow Weaver
You ungateful child! I have raised you!
I have sacrificed so much for you!

Catra
you abused me!
you spend the majority of my childhood
drinking instead of taking care of me
i didn’t ask to be born
and you know the most fucked up thing in all of this?
i still hoped that when you asked me to come home
you were actually sorry for it. i still hoped that
maybe you loved me
but of course not
you aren’t even capable of love are you?

Shadow Weaver
How dare you speak to me like this!

Catra
fuck you
don’t contact me again or we’ll call the police

We spend almost 24/7 together, and yesterday wasn’t

We are still friends even if we’re dating you know.
Me talking to you guys does not mean I’m
neglecting my relationship!

aww bow <3<3<3
don’t worry i feel perfectly appreciated :)

I’m sure it was all just teasing!

Happysmile Rainbowfist
I mean ‘sweet’ isn’t really the word one would
use to describe you guys…
But obviously you are still a strong couple!
I mean if someone can break up and get back together as
much times as you two, that is pretty impressive.
Like no matter what happens, you two still know
that you’ll find your way back to each other…

Beau
Say Adora, are you by chance projecting right now?

Adorable
What?

Beau
Come on, that whole rant about Sea Hawk and
Mermista was actually about someone else right?

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Uh huh, sure you don’t.

I’m sorry!
I want to retract my previous statement.

Inspector Pirate
NA, nO tAkEBaCks!!

Flowergirl
You know what, I do get where Adora is coming from,
but at some point isn’t it exhausting to fight so much?
Personally I would definitely want a calmer relationship
like Bow and Glimmer, where you are just on the same
page about everything.

Big Bug
I completely agree!
I don’t think I could bear to fight with my partner.

Applesauce MeowMeow
see, what im hearing is that you want
a boring relationship

Twinkle
we are not boring!!

Applesauce MeowMeow
you sure about that?
like isn’t fighting an expression of passion or something?

an expression of passion huh?

Applesauce MeowMeow
ew barf
too much information

Twinkle
you started it with your whole ‘fights are
an expression of passion’ bit

Applesauce MeowMeow
all i meant is that if you feel strongly about
something obviously that can lead to fights!

Flowergirl
While you are right, it doesn’t have to result
in fighting with the person you love.
There are other means of communication.

Happysmile Rainbowfist
I mean yeah, but I think for some people that’s just how
they function you know?
And if they both know it’s just their temperament,
than they can work with it right?

Big Bug
Maybe… but that’s still not for me.

Arrow Boy
Yeah me neither.
That one time I fought with Glimmer (when we
weren’t together), I was sad for a week :(

Twinkle
<3
why are catra and adora defending sea hawk and
mermistas relationship more than them anyway?

Sea-Ra
because we know our relationship doesn’t need defending

Inspector Pirate
AWWW <3

Happysmile Rainbowfist
See, this is what I mean!

Sweetcheeks

Beau
Trying to convince yourself at this point?

Adorable
No, Bow!
What are you on about?

Beau
Be honest with me, do you really not know,
or do you not want to admit it?

Adorable
I mean I know you’re talking about me and Catra,
she’s the only person I frequently fight with.
But that’s different, we’re not together you know?
And honestly, yeah sure before when we fought, I knew
it was because we cared so much about each other but…
I don’t know, maybe we do fight to much.

Beau
Look I can’t tell you what you have to do.
But I can see how you care about each other.
And I mean she agreed with you.
So maybe yeah, maybe this is really just
you caring about each other.

Adorable
What happened to us being unhealthily codependent?

Beau
I mean you are.
But that doesn’t mean you have to shut
each other out you know?
It’s something you should work on together.

Adorable
I think we’re just so afraid of hurting each other,
we can’t talk without withholding some part of
the problem you know?
That what it feels for me anyway.

Beau
Mhm.
You have to talk to her.

Adorable
I know.

Idiot
Hey.
I think we should talk.

Brat
?

Idiot
So… can we like meet up, or…?

Brat
you got something to say you can say it now

Idiot
Cat, come on, please.
This would be better in person.

Brat
my psychotic ass guardian is literally hunting for me
right now, im not leaving this fucking house
and you’re not gonna lead her here either, she’s
controlling enough to watch your every step hoping
she’ll find out where i am

Idiot
Okay fair, I didn’t think of that.
If I call, would you pick up?

Brat
probably not

Idiot
Okay, alright.
I handled that wrong.

Brat
what?.

Idiot
All of it.
I mean the whole thing from the flowers, to the secrets,
to the us being codependent remark, I handled all
of that wrong.
I’m not used to not being the only person in
your life that you trust.
And don’t get me wrong, I’m happy that Scorpia is
there for you, and you can open up to her and stuff!
But I’m just not used to it.
I thought I was, we have had a bigger friend group
for a while now, but apparently not.
I don’t know, maybe I still somehow feel like I’m the only
one entitled to that side of you.
Which I’m not!
But that’s just what I think I felt like.

Brat
i… don’t know what to say to that

Idiot
Oh, okay.

Brat
fuck this is why i didn’t want you to call
just give me a minute okay

Best Friend Squad

Stars
Okay so I texted Catra and explained how I felt.
She says she ‘needs a minute’.
Is that good or bad?

Moon
well how are we supposed to know
we can’t read her thoughts

Stars
:(

Sun
At least she is taking time to think instead of
blowing up or something right?

Moon
honestly a first for her

Stars
Glimmer!

Moon
what, it’s true!

Sun
You’re just mad because she left you to fend
for yourself in English class.

Moon
im all alone here
it’s fucking boring alright

Stars
One might think you like her…

Moon
na she’s just entertaining

Ride or Die

Brat
alright continue

Idiot
Uhm…
Continue?
Okay so… I see what the others mean with us being
codependent, but it was wrong of me to just spring
Bows idea to spend less time together on you.
I didn’t even want to do that!
Which I should’ve told you right then and there,
I was just unsure what to do in that situation.

Brat
im actually impressed you didn’t say sorry once

idiot
Well I recently learned that apologies don’t
actually do anything to fix the problem.
Maybe an explanation of my feelings and
why I reacted like that is better…

Brat
it is

Idiot
:)
I missed you Cat.

Brat
whatever
in the spirit of explaining and what not
it took a lot of me to confess to scorpia that i have
difficulties with feeling wanted
which by the way you knew
and when you interrogated me about it i felt backed
into a corner and i don’t like that so i blew up
and then i thought your message meant you don’t
want to be around me anymore and i just went with it

Idiot
Yeah, we both probably could’ve handled it better.
Can we stop fighting now?
I can’t live without you Cat.

Brat
gay

Idiot
Really?

Brat
obviously
and yeah, lets stop fighting
this does not mean i like you

Idiot
Sure it doesn’t.
Will you come back home now?
Like obviously you don’t have to, but I miss you.
And so does Razz, who by the way is
visiting tomorrow :).

Brat
i get to babysit the crazy old lady?
of course im coming back for that

Idiot
Just for that?

Brat
yes
what else?

Idiot
The handsome blonde who will be your best
friend and want you in her life forever?

Brat
i suppose i could learn to tolerate
the idiotic blonde

Idiot
She’s very happy about that. :D
But wait, what about Shadow Weaver?
Do you feel safer at Scorpia right now?

Brat
na i threatened to call the police on her ass
she’s not gonna do anything
i literally only said that because i was afraid
to have to see your face during this talk

Idiot
You were afraid of my face?

Brat
no idiot
i was afraid you were ending our friendship

Idiot
I’m not ever gonna do that.

Brat
you promise?

Idiot
I promise.

you ever feel like you’re the only adult in a
room full of people that are older than you?

Flowergirl
With how emotionally unintelligent some
of you are, yes.

Sea-Ra
wow ouch
perfuma what is happening?

Flowergirl
It needed to be said.

Sea-Ra
be honest are you high right now?

Flowergirl
Maybe ;)

Applesauce MeowMeow
i just read this to adora and razz and i shit you not,
razz said ‘that girl knows whats good’ and now
wants me to somehow pull weed out of my ass to
bake into brownies

Twinkle
the woman is unhinged

Big Bug
Aww Razz is visiting? Can you bring me pie on Monday?

Applesauce MeowMeow
we probably could if someone (adora cough cough) would
stop stealing bites of the batter at every second
razz keeps batting her hand away and she isn’t even fazed

Twinkle
why aren’t you doing anything?

Applesauce MeowMeow
freshly painted nails
and my running commentary is funnier anyways

Happysmile Rainbowfist
I am supposed to inform you that adora is getting
angry at us for blowing up her phone -c

Applesauce MeowMeow
i am however not gonna stop
how long do you think its gonna take her to
realize she could just ask me to put her phone on silent?

Twinkle
an hour

Arrow Boy
That long? I figure it’ll more like 10 minutes.

Twinkle
it’s adora
she uses capital letters and proper punctuation
her phone has never been on silent ever
she has like actual phone etiquette and shit

Big Bug
I use capital letters and punctuation! :(

Applesauce MeowMeow
yeah but your phone is always on silent
like you know a normal person

Sea-Ra
at this point i’m surprised that she doesn’t
end every text with her name

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Dear all,
I also do not understand why my granddaughter texts
 like someone my age, and I think you should show her
how to do it like a youth person.
Perfuma, would you be open to share some of your
herbs for some brownies?
I have a really good recipe from back in my day.
And Scorpia, don’t worry I will make sure there are
enough pies for all of you!
Love, Madam Razz

Arrow Boy
Aww Razz we love you <33

Flowergirl
I am on my way!

razz you are amazing

Twinkle
can you be my grandma too please?

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Oh but silly Twinkle,
I am all of yours grandma!
And you should really tell Mara to not have her
birthday as her phone password.
2810 is way too easy to easy to guess.
Big hugs, Madame Razz

Big Bug
I’m virtually hugging back so hard right now!

Perfuma
Did Razz just really tell us Adoras
phone password?

Arrow Boy
Uhm, Razz? Adoras birthday is in January,
you know that right?

Twinkle
wait a minute that’s catras birthday!

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Dear friends of Mara,
You really should think more!
Of course I know when my Adora’s birthday is!
But that doesn’t make it less obvious that she uses
her Catra’s birthday as a password.
Broom pat on the head, Madame Razz

Sea-Ra
really calling out all of us here

Twinkle
is no one concerned that this whole time
razz is on adoras phone it means she is
unsupervised with the baking

Applesauce MeowMeow
im supervising her

Twinkle
not anymore

Applesauce MeowMeow
yeah she just got send to the corner
damn now i have to get up and do stuff

Sea-Ra
serves you right

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Why are you all mean to me? :(
I don’t appreciate it!

Flowergirl
Well seeing that Catra’s birthday is literally
your password, you must at least like people
being mean to you a little bit.

Sea-Ra
okay but true

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Perfuma what the heck?
Why are you so direct when high?
I’m not sure I like it.

Flowergirl
Well you’re about to be high too.
I’m here with the stuff, open the door.

Sea-Ra
ohhh high adora is even funnier than drunk adora

Twinkle
hey, lets all go over there!

Applesauce MeowMeow
no way
fuck off
this is our family time you can have leftovers
on monday
also adora is not getting high last time was
literally a disaster

Twinkle
aww really?

Flowergirl
I’m afraid so.
I just got pushed out the door. :(

Super Pal Duo

Hugger
So you’re having a good time?
Good family time?

Wildcat
argh of course you latched on that
yeah im having a good time
it really does feel like family you know?

Hugger
I’m happy for you Wildcat, really :)

Wildcat
thanks

The Alliance

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Catra is right.
I don’t even like getting high.
The brownies are literally just for Razz.
Maybe we’ll give you guys some,
 but you aren’t getting anything today.
Like Catra said, this is family time right now
and we needed that.

Big Bug
No problem, as long as I get some Razz berry
pie I’m happy :)

Sea-Ra
so we’re not gonna talk about catra throwing
around the f-word?

Applesauce MeowMeow
fuck

Sea-Ra
that’s not what i meant and you know it

Applesauce meowMeow
yeah but if you value your life you’ll
shut up regardless

Chapter Text

Private Chat

Catra
hey perfuma
i have a question

Perfuma
Yes Catra?

Catra
sorry if this is weird but uhm
you legally changed your name right?
how’d you do it?

Perfuma
Well my name change went along with changing my
registered gender, so I had to do like a whole
psychological exam and stuff.
I don’t want to assume or anything, but that is not
exactly what you are asking about right?

Catra
no that’s not it
i just have to fill out applications soon and the
idea of having to put the name she gave me
everywhere just makes me sick

Perfuma
Even if the reasons are different, I completely
understand that feeling.
I’m not super sure, but I think if you just
wanted to change your legal name it would
probably be somewhat easier than the
process is for trans people…
At least as soon as you’re 18…
Have you thought of maybe asking Hope
about it? Isn’t she a lawyer?

Catra
she’s a property lawyer this is not exactly
her specialty you know?
and it’s also a little awkward

Perfuma
Hmm… I mean we could ask Bow.
I’m actually very surprised you asked me first instead
of him, happy that you trust me with this, but still
surprised, I thought you two were closer.
But anyway, maybe he knows more about this case?

Catra
bow’s… too close
and less calm

Perfuma
Ah, I understand.
Sorry I can’t do more right now, but I could
help you with research.
If you don’t mind me asking, what do you
want to change it to?
I mean I love Adora and your whole giving
each other names thing is very sweet, but
if you are seriously considering ‘Applesauce
MeowMeow’ you should probably think
about it a little more…

Catra
haha no don’t worry that’s not it
i mean i am keeping catra but as a last name
i was just gonna take my fathers
 i mean i never really met him, but that was
about the best idea i had

Perfuma
Wait, that might actually make it easier!
I mean you’re his child so technically his last
name is already yours, it was just never put
down anywhere.
Is there any document where you can prove
that he is your father?

Catra
well my birth certificate, but that is with shadow weaver
and she’s not just going to give it to me…
but i also get access to my inheritance from him when im 18
so the bank should have some document right?

Perfuma
Okay now this is the point where you should actually
maybe ask Hope for advice if that counts and stuff.
Because I read that if you have it on paper that it’s your
fathers last name, you should be able to change your
last name to his with relatively little hassle.
And then of course you have to get a new ID and inform
all relevant authorities of your new name, but with
that I can definitely help you, that’s just annoying busywork.

Catra
thank you

Urgh how do people like banks?
It’s really boring here.

what are you doing in a bank???
you know the women wanting finance bros
are mostly straight right?

Stars
I actually don’t know what I’m doing here.
Catra just dragged me there and is now talking to some
person and I’m sitting in the corner like a child.

Moon
haha she really is the boss of you

Stars
No, I’m just being supportive!
I just don’t know what I’m supporting yet.
Okay we’re done here, now we’re going to Hopes office?
She still won’t tell me what’s going on. :(
Hope took us to a literal courthouse?

Moon
fuck, now i’m invested
what is happening?

Sun
Is Catra suing you?
Oh, is she suing Shadow Weaver?

Stars
I DON’T KNOW!
They went into a room ant left me outside :(
I’m not a fucking dog!

Does anybody know anything??
Is Catra suing Shadow Weaver?
Is she suing Adora?
IS SHE SUING US???

Adora
Calm down.
I don’t exactly know what she is doing,
but it’s probably not suing us.

Scorpia
What is going on??

Adora
First she dragged me to a bank, and then to a
courthouse, but she won’t tell me why.

Perfuma
Wow I didn’t think she would be this quick.
But good for her.

Bow
You know what’s happening?

Glimmer
tell us tell us tell us!!!!!

No, I think this is something she will want to tell you
guys herself.
But it’s a good thing I promise!

thanks to the help of hope, perfuma and a
little internet research i can now
officially fill out my uni applications as
catra d’riluth
finally ditched the elisabeth weaver

Inspector Pirate

Aplesauce MeowMeow
i changed my name dumbass

this is how we finally find out the legal name you kept
hidden for years?
but jokes aside, good for you

That’s awesome!

I’m proud of you!

Happy for you, Wildcat!

that’s great
but what i wanna know is how did adora react

i want the earth open up and swallow me

?

Stars
Okay here it goes...

Moon
you know normally people follow that
up with an explanation

Stars
I think I’m in love with Catra.

Moon
BOW!
I’TS HAPPENING!
GET OVER HERE!

Sun
Congratulations.
You’re the last person to know.

Stars
Wait what?
YOU KNEW?

Sun
Yes.

Moon
obviously

Stars
 WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?

Moon
we literally tried
you wouldn’t listen

Sun
Also, we thought you knew.

Stars
WELL I DIDN’T!
And now I’m freaking out.
This is very, very bad.

Sun
Adora, take a deep breath.
This isn’t the end of the world.

Stars
Sure feels like it.
fuck I was not prepared for this

Sun
To be fair I don’t think you can prepare
yourself for falling in love…

Moon
so what did it take for you to realize?
her new name?

Stars
I mean it’s not really about the name.
It’s just, when she got out of that room she
looked so damn happy and she cried (which if she
finds out I told you she will kill me)
and when I hugged her it just fell on me.
That I want her to be happy like that forever.
That I wanted to be the reason why her eyes sparkle
like that again.
And that that probably wasn’t entirely platonic.

Sun
So all those times you said you
couldn’t live without her, you
were under the impression that
that was platonic?

Stars
Yes?

Moon
useless lesbian

Stars
Hey!

Moon
you very rarely talk about something that isn’t her
no literally you can scroll up and at least 90% of our
last conversations are somehow related to catra
the only reason our in-person ones are different is
because she is normally there
its almost starting to get annoying

Sun
We’ve had discussions with you about how
you love it when she wears your clothes, you
very obviously got jealous over someone else
sending her flowers, your password was her
birthday, and don’t get me started on the flirting.

Stars
What flirting?

Moon
are you kidding me?

Sun
Adora even you can’t be that oblivious.

Stars
What do I do now?

Moon
you tell her, kiss, and the unnerving pining can stop

Stars
Are you INSANE?
I can’t tell her.
Nuh uh, not happening.

Sun
Why not?

Stars
Uhm you of all people should know that.
What if it ruins the friendship?

Sun
Look, obviously we can relate to your situation.
Falling in love is already scary enough.
Falling for your childhood  best friend is terrifying.
and the idea of confessing to them? Absolutely horrifying.
We know that, we’ve lived that.

Moon
but

Sun
That’s exactly why we are in a position to tell you that
despite all that, it will be so, so worth it.

Stars
Okay obviously it worked for you.
But we’re different.
For one, Catra doesn’t even like me back.

Sun
What?

Moon
are you kidding me?
hold on

hey asshole adora is being an idiot again
go over there and reassure her that she’s amazing

Glimmer I hate you.

no you don’t ;)
and now you know she likes you

Stars
Obviously she likes me.
But not like that you know.

Moon
i beg to differ

Sun
Come on Adora. She clearly does.

Stars
What if she doesn’t?
We’re not you guys, we’re both so fucked up,
if I told her and she didn’t like me back it we
couldn’t come back from that.

Moon
so you’re just never gonna tell her?

Stars
Exactly.

Moon
respectfully, that’s stupid

Stars
Fuck off.

Sun
Adora you can’t just ignore this

Stars
Watch me.

Sun
I thought we established that hiding your
feelings isn’t good for you.

Stars
I mean its not going to be forever.
Eventually I’ll get over her right?

Moon
i still think you should tell her
but its not like i can force you

Stars
Great.
Anyway, how am I supposed to
even look at her now?

Moon
with blown out pupils i suppose

Stars
Glimmer!
This is serious!

Moon
so would your relationship be
you’d be one of those lesbians
getting married after 1 month

Stars
This feels lesbophobic.

Moon
so is you refusing to be lesbian with catra

Stars
Urghhh stop!
I never should’ve told you right?

Sun
Yeah probably not.

Moon
come on i could be so much worse

damn adora if you don’t want catra to find out
maybe you should try to actually be normal
around her for once

Horsegirl
But that just reminds me how pretty she is!
Have you seen her eyes?

Vsco-Girl
yes i have
as have you
millions of times before

Horsegirl
Okay yeah.
 And obviously she was always beautiful, but suddenly
it’s different you know?
Like, I see her in a different light?
And she looks gorgeous in it.

Vsco-Girl
i get that, i really do
but she is asking me why you keep zoning off
and i don’t know what to tell her
so either confess your undying love or
get it together

Horsegirl
I’m really struggling here Glimmer!

Vsco-Girl
deserved
you had to go and fall for the most insufferable
person on this planet

Horsegirl
Well I didn’t choose to do that!

Vsco-Girl
obviously
why would anyone choose that

Horsegirl
Do you want a list?
Because believe me, I can give you one.

Vsco-Girl
please don’t

Horsegirl
Okay :(

Vsco-Girl
don’t give me that face

did you actually want to show me a list?

okay dude whats up?

Why are you texting me?
I’m just in the bathroom.

listen if i did something or im getting on your
nerves or something you can tell me alright

Idiot
What?
No you didn’t do anything!
You’re perfect!

Brat
perfect huh
so what is your problem then?

Idiot
What problem?

Brat
the reason why you can’t look at me?
why you’re hiding in the bathroom?

Idiot
I’m not hiding!

Brat
well then what are you doing in there?

Idiot
Showering?

Brat
with your phone?

Idiot
Yes.

stop
did sparkles say something to you?

Yes!
Yes, Glimmer told me something that
kind of caught me off guard.

Mean Bisexual & Even Meaner Lesbian

Horde Scum
i’ll fucking kill you
what did you say to her?
this is none of your fucking business!
i thought you had enough decency to not blabber
about other peoples secrets but apparently that
only goes for your boyfriend huh?
fucking asshole
you ruined everything

Sparkles
what are you talking about?

Horde Scum
don’t play dumb

Sparkles
i’m not
i genuinely don’t know what you mean
i swear

Horde Scum
well you must’ve done something because thanks
to you adora knows about my feelings for her
and now hates me

Sparkles
catra i promise you this is not what is happening
and i can ensure you that she doesn’t hate you

Horde Scum
liar

Sparkles
i’m really not
where did you even get that idea?

Horde Scum
adora told me
something you said got to her head and now
she’s hiding from me
what else could it be?

Sparkles
the idiot

Cringe Cult

Vsco-Girl
seriously adora?
putting the blame on ‘something i said’?
wow thanks

Horsegirl
I panicked okay!
Please Glimmer

Vsco-Girl
urghhh fine

Mean Bisexual & Even Meaner Lesbian

Sparkles
okay listen
i didn’t even insinuate something
this is about an entirely different topic

Horde Scum
so you’re sure she doesn’t know?

Sparkles
yes I’m sure
but would it be really that bad if she did?

Horde Scum
are you fucking kidding me?
of course it would be bad!
did you forgot what she said she’d do if you had
told her about your feelings?
she’d be too polite to turn me down and confine
herself to a relationship she doesn’t want and then
shes gonna be unhappy forever and ruin her life

Sparkles
why are you so sure she’d be unhappy?

Horde Scum
because she’s literally perfect
and im not
she deserves so much better than me

Sparkles
isn’t that for her to decide?

Horde Scum
didn’t you listen to me?
she’s so sacrificial
she’d not see that she’s too good for me
i would just drag her down

Sparkles
you’re wrong
i think, no i know, you could
make her very happy

Horde Scum
you can’t know that
besides she doesn’t want me
she can’t even look at me anymore
seriously what did you say to her?

Sparkles
something about horses thinking that
everything is about them because they
never experience situations where it’s
not about horses

Horde Scum
really?

bow you’re a genius
we should totally do something about it

Glimmer what is your plan?

Glimmer
thoughts?

Bow
This is a bad idea!

Glimmer
shut it bow
guys?
what do you think?

Mermista
huh?

Perfuma
Hey Glimmer, some people need context.

Glimmer
come on its obvious: catra+adora=catradora

Mermista
yeah but what’s your goal here?

Glimmer
they’re totally in love with each other right?

Perfuma
Yes…

Scorpia
Well we can’t know that for sure!

Mermista
everyone with eyes and half a brain knows that

Glimmer
see bow?
i was right

Bow
Yes we all knew, but that doesn’t mean we
should do something about it!

Sea Hawk
wE ShOUlD dO sOmeTHing AbouT iT!

Bow
No!

Perfuma
They are awfully bad with feelings...

Glimmer
exactly
they need our help

Bow
Does nobody see how that is a bad idea?

Scorpia
I think it’s a bad idea.
We should not get involved.

Bow
Thank you!

Glimmer
come on guys
they are both so stupid

Sea Hawk
AnD cLEArlY MeAnT tO Be ToGEtHeR!

Glimmer
totally
so we should do something

Scorpia
But they probably don’t want us to do something.
I mean if they won’t do anything to get together
that probably has a reason right?
And we should respect that.

Glimmer
not if the reasons they refuse to
do something are stupid

Bow
Then we can convince them those reasons
are rooted in their own insecurities but we
still shouldn’t meddle with their love life
in a more direct way.

Sea Hawk
bUt It WouLD bE sOOO FuN!!

Mermista
i don’t know
sounds like a lot of work

Glimmer
you know what’s a lot of work?
having to make up shit for both of their behavior
because they can’t communicate and you get
blamed for it

Perfuma
Again: context?

Glimmer
adora is weird around catra because she’s attracted
to her and then catra rips my head off because adora
said it’s my fault for confusing her

Perfuma
Okay that is a lot of work.
Maybe they could use a nudge in
the right direction.

Bow
Okay one nudge.
Nothing more.
Like just assure them that if they wanted
to, nothing bad would happen if they dated.

Scorpia
But are we sure that’s true?
Like we see how they fight sometimes.
Are we sure that wouldn’t negatively affect a
potential relationship and then have consequences
for the friend group?

Glimmer
scorpia don’t you want catra to be happy?

Scorpia
Of course I want her to be happy!
I just don’t know if this is the way to go!

Perfuma
You have a point.
However, I think a lot of their fights are rooted
in the fear of the other not wanting them enough.
Knowing they’re in love with each other would
probably help with that.
And obviously they still would need to work on
their communication but I don’t think that is a
reason to discourage them from starting
a relationship.

Bow
Maybe, but it’s still not our place to intervene!
Instead we can help them with their own issues
but otherwise we should respect their ability to
get into a relationship when they feel ready and
want to do so.

Scorpia
I completely agree.

Glimmer
okay fine
but if something like this happens again one of you
has to deal with it
i did not sign up for this

Bow
deal

you’re playing in the city finals next sunday right?

Horsegirl
Yes?

Operation Catradora

Glimmer
remember when catra mentioned that adora
playing basketball was her gay awakening

Mermista
can’t fault her for that

Glimmer
right?
we should totally convince her to watch
the city finals next sunday

Bow
Glimmer…

Glimmer
what?
it’s not technically meddling if we all go
then it’s just friends supporting friends

Scorpia
Even if that’s true, she always refuses
to watch the games.
Believe me, I tried multiple times to get
her to come.

Glimmer
exactly why we should all go
if we make it a group outing and hang out
together afterwards she won’t have a good
reason to say no

Applesauce MeowMeow
i regret this so much
guys where are you?

Twinkle
catra you’re an hour early
chill
we’ll come
at a reasonable time

Applesauce MeowMeow
yeah well i wasn’t just gonna wait at
home when scorps was picking up adora
but now i’m bored

Flowergirl
I will actually be early myself.
I’ll be there in 20 minutes tops.

Applesauce MeowMeow
i have never been so thankful for your
existence

Flowergirl
:)

Applesauce MeowMeow
ew
was anyone going to tell me
how sweaty the ball gets
this is just the warmup how
bad is it during the game
ew

Arrow Boy
Why would you even touch it?

Applesauce MeowMeow
it just flew at me
i had to protect myself
the friends say hi

Inspector Pirate
sAy HI bacK!!!

Applesauce MeowMeow
literally how am i supposed to do that
they’re running in weird triangles again

Inspector Pirate
jUst sHoUT It aCrOss tHe FieLd!

Sea-Ra
please do

Applesauce MeowMeow
they did not seem amused
yeah i think they’re being banned
from ever bringing me again
too bad

Twinkle
not sure if i still want to sit with you guys
i don’t want to be associated with you anymore

Applesauce MeowMeow
ouch glitter
really hurting my feelings here

Twinkle
didn’t know you had those

Flowergirl
Well for all those who do want to sit with us,
we reserved seats for all of you in front row.

Arrow Boy
Thanks guys!

Ride or Die

Idiot
Glimmer and Bow said you already left. :(
Why?

Brat
didn’t wanna wait for you to finish flirting
i have homework to do you know

Idiot
Oh okay.
Wait what flirting?

Brat
the girl you talked to after the game
who kept touching your arm

Idiot
Clara’s sister?
We weren’t flirting!

Brat
well maybe you weren’t
she definitely was

Idiot
Why do you even care?
And I thought we were all going to hang out?
 Or I would’ve gone home with you if you waited for
me to finish showering, now Glimmer and Bow
won’t let me go.

Brat
i don’t care, i just didn’t wanna wait for it
the work just kinda piled up, sorry
you’ll live

Idiot
But this is boring without you. :(

Brat
come on, celebrate your win
isn’t this a big deal?

Idiot
I mean kind of.
But I’d rather celebrate with you.
Did you at least have fun?

Brat
watching a bunch of sweaty women throw
a ball around?
eh it was alright

Idiot
Does this mean you’ll come to the next one? :)

Brat
didn’t your coach tell you not to bring me anymore?

Idiot
Yeah, but that was before we won.
If I convince her that Scorpia and I play better when
you’re there, nobody will say a thing.

Brat
that’s stupid

Idiot
:(
But what if it’s true?

Brat
what?
that you play better when I’m there?

Idiot
Well I did like to see your face there,
cheering me on. ;)

Brat
gross
if you just want a groupie, im sure claras
sister will volunteer for the job

Idiot
Well clara’s sister isn’t you. ;)

Cringe Cult

Vsco-Girl
stop flirting and pay attention to us

Horsegirl
I’m not flirting!
Why does everybody always think that?

Vsco-Girl
alright stop texting catra then

Horsegirl
How do you know I’m texting her?

Vsco-Girl
you have a catra-smile
and you’re doing it at your phone instead
of talking to your real life friends

Horsegirl
Well you’re on your phone as well!

Vsco-Girl
only to get you off it

Horsegirl
That’s ncrjviozlsnxeul

The Alliance

Applesauce MeowMeow
alright assholes
i hope you had a miserable night and have
a terrible hangover
that’s what you deserve
you really are all fucking stupid

Flowergirl
You’re right. That was not our best hour.

Applesauce MeowMeow
of course i’m right
fucking idiots the lot of you

Arrow Boy
Sorry Catra. :(
Thanks for making sure we got home.

Applesauce MeowMeow
i actually can’t believe you
what were you thinking

Sea-Ra
sorry mom

Twinkle
*gasp* catra… do you…
care about us?

Applesauce MeowMeow
nonono you don’t get to give me shit
right now
not after i had to haul your fucking
disgusting drunk ass home in the middle
of the night
you almost puked on me several times
i am this close to never talking to any
of you ever again

Super Pal Duo

Hugger
I’m so sorry Wildcat!
We should not all have gotten drunk last night,
especially not me with my car!
And we didn’t even consider if that might bring
up bad memories for you!
Oh gosh, we had been drinking in front of you
when you were still living with her!
And that’s why you don’t drink!
I’m so sorry!!!

Wildcat
i don’t care that you drink around me
or i would’ve already said something
none of you are like shadow weaver
when you drink
and it’s not like you were trying
to drive while drunk
i’m mad because you went
somewhere and then all got drunk
normally im there sober to monitor
you but the one time im not you
didn’t even stay together
what if something would have happened huh?

Hugger
You are completely right.
And we’re very sorry!
Is there anything I can do to make
it up to you?

Wildcat
just don’t do shit like that again

Hugger
We promise!

Mean Bisexual & Even Meaner Lesbian

Sparkles
that was nice of you yesterday
how’s adora?

Horde Scum
still asleep
it’s gonna be a nasty hangover
fuck sparkles what were you thinking

Sparkles
adora is an adult im not responsible
for her drinking

Horde Scum
no asshole but when you go out with a
group to a strange place at least one of
you should be sober enough to make sure
nobody dies in a ditch

Sparkles
but nothing happened

Horde Scum
that’s not the point!
the point is that something could’ve happened
and none of you would have noticed!
also keep a better eye on your phone

Sparkles
yeah i know
at least im pretty sure she didn’t read
something in our chats tho
or she surely would’ve said something
right?

Horde Scum
for your sake i hope she didn’t

The Alliance

Arrow Boy
Oh, but Glimmer is right.
Yesterday really did show that
you secretly like us

Applesauce MeowMeow
my patience with all of you is wearing
really thin right now
believe me you don’t want to
antagonize me

Flowergirl
Catra it’s okay to show that you
care about people.

Applesauce MeowMeow
shut up

Sea-Ra
yeah catra you really did a nice thing
for us yesterday
it’s like adora said, you act so mean but
you are actually nice when you want to be

Big Bug
I have been saying for years that she
has a soft side!

Flowergirl
Actually, I think Catra acts so mean precisely
to show how she cares about people.

Applesauce MeowMeow
now why would i do that?

Happysmile Rinbowfist
Yeah!
 Just like you call me idiot
in an endearing way!

Applesauce MeowMeow
have you ever considered i might just
actually call you an idiot?

Arrow Boy
Adora you’re awake!

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Awake, hungover, and embarrassed, yes.
And I know you call me that in a fond way.

Arrow Boy
Is that why you rarely call us by our
real names?
As a sign of our friendship?

Applesauce MeowMeow
no you just have stupid names

Twinkle
no hold on
bow’s got a point

Flowergirl
Maybe because she didn’t like her birth
name, she never called others by theirs
either, because that what she would have
wanted

Applesauce MeowMeow
that’s stupid
and besides, glitter is also weirdly
aggressive with love

Twinkle
yes but i own it
also you just admitted that you love us

Big Bug
Aww we love you too Wildcat <3

Applesauce MeowMeow
i don’t!

Inspector Pirate

Sea-Ra
shut up
i don’t do that

Happysmile Raibowfist
Yes you do.
And so does Catra.

Applesauce MeowMeow
all of you suck
and i fucking hate you

Twinkle
no you don’t :)

Applesauce MeowMeow
i will kill you with no hesitation

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Is that why you tucked me in last night?
Why you left me water and painkillers
next to my bed?
Because you hate us?

Applesauce MeowMeow
i can make your environment significantly
louder and brighter in a second

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Please don’t!
I’m sorry.
You are an emotionless, scary person who we should
be thanking that she doesn’t kill us.

Applesauce MeowMeow
that’s right

Lotus
Happy Birthday Scorpia! :)
I know we will see each other this evening anyway,
but I still wanted to wish you a nice day before that!
You are a wonderful friend and deserve to have
the best day today! <3

Gardenia
Thank you so much! <3 :DD
I’m looking forward to later!

Lotus
Me too! :)
See you then!

Super Pal Duo

Wildcat
is everything ready for this evening?

Hugger
Yep, everything is in order!
Thank you again for helping me organize

Wildcat
im still not entirely sure why you would want us
to spend your birthday getting lost in the woods
but no problem

Hugger
It’s gonna be soo fun!
I’m gonna go tell the others!

The Alliance

Big Bug
Are you excited to find out what we’ll be doing today?

Twinkle
yess finally

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Yay it’s happening!
I had so many theories.
But Catra’s poker face was too good.
Please tell us!

Arrow Boy
*drumroll*

Big Bug
Of course afterwards we’ll still have a nice
evening at mine.
But before that, we are going on a
…
SCAVENGER HUNT!!!!

Flowergirl
Oh fun!

Inspector Pirate
AdVEnTuRE!!!

Arrow Boy
Awesome!

Sea-Ra
what?

Big Bug
Yeah, we’re all growing up, so I thought it would
be fun to have one last birthday doing like
childhood party activities.

Happysmile Rainbowfist
This is the best idea ever!!!

Arrow Boy
Right?

Applesauce MeowMeow
but
because we are in fact not kids anymore
scorpia let me raise the stakes a bit

Sea-Ra
there it is

Applesauce MeowMeow
what? i’m not risking boredom here
if i have to tramp around in the woods
i want to at least be entertained

Arrow Boy
Wait we’re doing this in the woods?
In the dark?

Applesauce MeowMeow
yes
we’ll also have to solve puzzles
and if we do it incorrectly there are still follow up
clues, so by the time you notice you hit a dead end
you might already be five hints behind
we’ll be doing it in pairs who all have a different
route so you can’t cheat by following the others because
you can only win if you bring all your correct clues.
of course there is a prize for the winners as well as a
punishment for losers

Arrow Boy
That’s… not how I played it as a kid.

Flowergirl
Well who are the pairs?

Twinkle
i want catra

Arrow Boy
excuse me?
what about you boyfriend?

Twinkle
i’m sorry
but she’s just the best bet for this

Applesauce MeowMeow
im flattered sparkles
and it’s true
but no
the pairs will be random

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Ha, suck it Glimmer!

Big Bug
Now obviously Catra and I can’t be on the same
team because we each created half the routes,
but aside from that I drew names randomly.
So for team A we have Bow and Mermista.

Sea-Ra
we’re gonna win

Arrow Boy
we’re the A team!

Sea-Ra
exactly

Big Bug
Team B is Glimmer and Adora.

Twinkle
oh fuck

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Huh?
What’s that supposed to mean?

Twinkle
i love you, but you tend to get a little…
competitive

Happysmile Rainbowfistµ
Oh and Catra doesn’t?
YOU don’t?

Twinkle
not like you
but it’s still gonna be fun!
and we’ll still win!

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Damn right we will.

Big Bug
Oohkay, moving on.
Team C consists of Catra and Perfuma.
Which leaves Sea Hawk and me as team D

Inspector Pirate
I gET tHe BiRThDaY GiRl!!!
tHE tRUe lucK!

Big Bug
Aww :)

Flowerpower
Well I get Catra, so this is going to be easy.

Applesauce MeowMeow
you bet your ass it will

GlimBow

Bowbow
You know how you thought Adora and her
competitiveness would be bad it in this game?

Glimglim
it is bad bow
her eye has been twitching for the last
half hour

Bowbow
Yeah, well Mermista isn’t even trying to solve
the puzzles, she’s trying to map out the most
likely route and end location so we can get
there faster.

Glimglim
hahaha
is it working?

Bowbow
Not really.
She blames it on the fact that she’s not sure if
Catra or Scorpia designed our path.
Of course if she would read the clues, she’d notice
Scorpia’s handwriting, but no.

Glimglim
adora is cursing catra every single time we
hit a dead end
if we ever get out of this forest i wouldn’t
wanna be her

Ride or Die

Brat
hey adora
how’s it hanging?

idiot
I don’t have time for this!

Brat
not good then

Idiot
You sent me on a wild goose chase!

Brat
aww do you need help?

Idiot
No!
We will solve this alone!

Brat
i see
have fun in the mud!

Idiot
How did you know about that?

Brat
;)

GlimBow

Glimglim
adora is walking faster and faster
it’s getting seriously hard to keep up
how does she do that?

Bowbow
The power of gay?
I don’t know
But I believe in you,
You’re amazing!

Gilmglim
thanks bow, i love you

Bowbow
I love you too.

Glimglim
aand that’s the first time we said that
wait do you mean it like that?
because we have said it before but then we were
just friends and…

Bowbow
I mean it.
Do you mean it?

Glimglim
yes of course
i love you <3

Bowbow
And I love you <3
I miss you :(

Glimglim
i miss you too
doing this over text sucks

Bowbow
Are you getting somewhere?

Glimglim
to be honest, no I don’t think so
you?

Bowbow
I hope so, we haven’t hit a dead
end in six hints.

Glimglim
oh wow, that’s good
well i look forward to seeing you
at the finish line

Bowbow
Good luck! <3

Glimglim
<3

The Alliance

Flowergirl
We won!

Sea-Ra
this has to be rigged

Applesauce MeowMeow
well it’s not
where are you anyway?
remember the last team has to clean up tomorrow

Twinkle
we’re at the south end of the woods
how long do we have left?

Flowergirl
Not that long actually!
Hang in there!

Arrow Boy
we’re at the lake

Flowergirl
Also close
Scorpia?

Inspector Pirate
wE ArE oN An AdVeNTuRE iN a StrAngE lAnd!!!!!

Applesauce Meowmeow
you’re completely lost aren’t you?

Big Bug
…Yeah.
But it’s super fun!

Applesauce MeowMeow
alright we’ll tell you when the others are here
and then you can come even if you haven’t finished

GlimBow

Bowbow
We made it!
Please hurry :)
I can’t wait to see you <3
And tell you that I love you <3

Glimglim
aww <3
Bow this is Adora, please stop texting and
distracting Glimmer, thanks.
PS: This is really the first time you
said ‘I love you’?

Bowbow
We might be queer, but we’re not
lesbians.

Glimglim
Haha.
Very funny.

Big Bug
I had an amazing day today, thank you everybody
for coming and I hope you all get home safe :)

Stars
Sooooo…
How’s the relationship going?
I heard there was some progress there?

Moon
adora

Stars
What?
I thought it was very cute.
All your blushing in the woods.

Sun
Aww you blushed?

Stars
Like a tomato.

Moon
you said you loved me
of course i fucking blushed

Sun
I still can’t believe we love each other <3

Moon
me neither <3

Stars
You guys are adorable. :(

Sun
Yes we are :)))

Moon
soo adora…
having established our cuteness
how’s YOUR relationship going?

Stars
Don’t remind me.
I barely manage to be half normal around her.
But hey, at least I manage that! :)

Moon
the bar is on the floor

Ride or Die

Brat
cookie dough or chocolate

Idiot
Huh?

Brat
i’m buying ice cream
which one do you want?

Idiot
Uhm I thought you were just
getting groceries?
For which thank you again.

Brat
yes i’m at the store
and i am also getting you ice cream

Idiot
Oh uh, I don’t really need ice cream?

Brat
so both then

Idiot
Seriously you don’t need to do that.

Brat
dora i know you
you’ll want the ice cream
especially when you spend all day
curled in a blanket in this weather

Idiot
…
Thank you.

Brat
don’t mention it

Best Friend Squad

Stars
Help.
Why is she actually perfect?
She’s bringing me ice cream even if I didn’t ask her
to do it, because she knows how I get these days.
Cookie dough AND chocolate!

Moon
you’re a gay disaster
also if you change your mind, i’d date her

Sun
Should I be jealous?

Stars
Glimmer, NO!
You can’t do that to Bow!

Moon
relax
i was just kidding
but i gotta admit she’s hot

Stars
Please stop.
But yeah she is.

Sun
On a more serious note: if you we can do
anything for you, you’ll tell us right?

Stars
Nah, I just feel like wallowing.

Sun
Okay but if you want to talk
or anything we’re here.

Stars
I know, thank you.

Mean Bisexual & Even Meaner Lesbian

Sparkles
you’ll take care of her right?

Horde Scum
i have been doing this for 10 years
you don’t have tell me to
but yes i will

Sparkles
she told us about the ice cream
hey if you got over her, you’d
totally date me right?

Horde Scum
totally
your boyfriend might not be happy about that,
but i could take him

Sparkles
great

Best Friend Squad

Stars
yo i just fell down the stairs
maybe mara wants me to join her haha

Moon
WTF ARE YOU OKAY????

Stars
Why are you yelling at me?
That’s the same thing Catra did :(
I just wanted to greet her!

Moon
are you a dog?

Stars
No, I’m sad because my sister died 10 years
ago and I miss her.
why does it still hurt so much?

Sun
because of what she meant to you.

Stars
I just hate how it knocks me out cold
every year.
I’m either crying all day or getting crappy.
and now catra is here and she doesn’t
deserve to have to put up with me like that

Moon
don’t tell yourself that
catra wants to be there for you
just like us
we know that even if you get snippy
it’s not directed at us

Stars
But she had to deal with it for every year
since Maras death.
At some point she’s going to have had enough.

Sun
If you tell her that I’m pretty sure
she’ll call you an idiot.

Stars
Excuse you, it was ‘Dummy’ actually.
I don’t like this.

Sun
That’s okay.

Stars
why can’t i just get over it?

Sun
Look I haven’t been in your situation, so I
don’t know exactly how you feel. And I
believe you that it sucks.
But if you want my honest advice, maybe
wanting to get over it so hard is actually
counterproductive.
Maybe you should just let yourself be sad.
And I don’t mean just lying in bed all day
and being angry at your feelings, I mean
actually letting yourself be sad and learning
to be okay with it.

Stars
but i don’t want to be okay with it
I just feel emotionally paralyzed.
And I want to get out of this cycle, but I
am so afraid moving on would mean
forgetting her.

Moon
you’re not going to forget her
you carry her with you
i mean we never even met her and
yet we know what she liked to do,
we’ve seen her smile (on photos and
on your face), we tasted her favorite
food and watched her favorite films
all because you’re remembering her
and catra could probably tell you even
more ways that her memory lives on

Stars
thank you

Twinkle
*sighs and opens google*
how to deal with overprotective mothers?

Inspector Pirate
yOu HaVE aMoTHeR wHo IS dOinG
mOthERly thInGS?

Sea-Ra
you have a mother that isn’t emotionally
and physically absent?

Applesauce MeowMeow
you have a mother that cares about you?

Happysmile Rainbowfist
You have a mother that’s alive?

Arrow Boy
You guys have mothers?

Happysmile Rinbowfist
Good one bow.
You win.

Twinkle
okay, okay i get it.
now can someone please tell me how to
convince my mother that nothing bad will
happen if i (hypothetically!) were to move
out for uni?

Applesauce MeowMeow
just make her hate you so she throws you
out and whoosh now you can move in with
your best friend

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Aww I’m your best friend?

Applesauce MeowMeow
no i meant scorpia

Big Bug
Really? :DDD

Applesauce MeowMeow
urghhh
no
fuck

Twinkle
anyway, a little help please?

Sea-Ra
have you tried sending her to a work
conference so she forgets your existence?
it’s basically like you live alone

Happysmile Rainbowfist
What worked for me was regularly bringing
my mom flowers, she always lets me leave
after that.
Although everything else would be very creepy.

Twinkle
okay all that i learned so far is that we
all have various types mommy issues
can the people who have actual healthy
relationships to their parents please
help me now?

Sea-Ra
ouch

Big Bugs
My moms (because I have two, so if
anyone wants a spare one… ;) just
kidding, I would never give them up)
weren’t happy about that possibility
either, but I was able to convince them
eventually.
Maybe you can talk to her a little more?

Twinkle
urgh she doesn’t listen!

Sea-Ra
now this is something i can relate to.

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Yeah same.

Twinkle
adora i swear if you make one more
dead mom joke i am going to lose it!

Hapysmile Rainbowfist
Hey! I was talking about Hope!
I don’t know if my mom could even
listen to me if she wanted to.
But Hope sure does have problems taking
other people’s feelings into account.
For what it’s worth, I don’t think she does it
consciously, I think she just genuinely
doesn’t know they have them.

Arrow Boy
Plus Angella loves you, she’s probably just
sad and doesn’t realize how much being
independent means to you.

Twinkle
alright, i’ll try to talk to her
again

Big Bugs
Good luck!

Sea-Ra
you know what i want to know?
why parents can mess you up so
much without even noticing it

Applesauce Meoweow
oh i’m pretty sure they notice it

Inspector Pirate
i ThInk mY MoTher dOeSn’t eVen
KnoW ShEs A MOthEr

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Hope is just… cold.
I know it sounds horrible, but sometimes
I wonder how she ever married Mara.

Applesauce MeowMeow
seriously if you think adora didn’t
know how to handle feelings, you
should meet hope.

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Especially this time around Mara’s death day.
She just shuts down and locks herself in her
room or goes to work.
I don’t think she ever even been to her grave.

Flowergirl
So that’s where you get it from.
Actually if you think about it, not to
be Freudian, but your mothers and
their style of raising you, or lack thereof,
really explains so much.

Adora doesn’t know how to handle
feelings and either bottles it up or lashes
out, because Hope didn’t show her how
to express feelings in a healthy way.

Catra is just mean to people because she
didn’t really receive softness growing up.

Mermista is dismissive since her parents are
busy working all the time and never stayed
long enough to give anything more than
surface level contact.

Glimmer’s mother is as she said a little
overprotective and cautious so she compensates
for it by throwing herself headfirst into everything.

And Sea Hawk’s need for constant attention
stems from his mother not really
acknowledging him as a child.

Applesauce MeowMeow
oh shut up
if i wanted to know about why i am how
i am i would go to therapy

Flowergirl
You should go to therapy! :)

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Or we can just take a page out of our parents’
books and act like it never happened.

Arrow Boy
Okay no, you definitely shouldn’t do that.
But Perfuma, I must admit that was a
little bit uncalled for.

Sea-Ra
yeah you’re not so perfect yourself
i mean why are you so focused on
psychoanalyzing and helping everyone?
is it because you were forced to multiple
therapy sessions as a kid and now you
rationalize every feeling instead of
authentically experiencing it

Flowerpower
Okay that did not feel good.
I see what you mean, and I’m sorry, I
shouldn’t have said that.

Big Bug
Maybe we can all agree that we all have
our issues and be there for each other
without having to point all of it out?
And that our trauma isn’t a competition?

Arrow Boy
exactly!

Sea-Ra
and now it’s weird

Applesauce MeowMeow
not for long
i just found a treasure
who wants to see baby pictures of adora

Inspector Pirate
mE! mE! Me!!!!

Sea-Ra
uhm yes please

Happysmile Rainbowfist
NO!

but it’s so fun to see you blush so hard

Happysmile Rainbowfist
You’re mean :(

Super Pal Duo

Wildcat
if she asks you for any embarrassing pictures
of me DO NOT give them to her

Hugger
I have embarrassing pictures of you?

Wildcat
well you know some from field trips and stuff

Hugger
Oh we had so much fun on those! :)
And the pictures are cute!

Wildcat
i am not cute!
and i don’t want her to see me like that
so don’t you dare send them

Hugger
Okay I won’t show Adora.
But we did have fun didn’t we? :)

Wildcat
maybe
be right back
i need to whack the dummy
with a cereal box

Hugger
Uhm why would you do that?

Wildcat
because she’s a pretty idiot and i want to
she also stole my donut, and it should be illegal
to look this good with chocolate on your nose

Hugger
Ah.

The Alliance

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Urgh why aren’t there any ugly photos of you?
Like even in our childhood pictures, I’m always covered
in mud or something and you just look adorable!
This is so unfair!

Big Bug
See I told you the pictures from the field
trip aren’t embarrassing!

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Wait what pictures are we talking about here?

Applesauce MeowMeow
urgh scorpia

Inspector Pirate
sHoW uS!!!!
sHoW uS!!!
sHoW uS!!!!!

Applesauce MeowMeow
don’t you dare

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Oh come on we already established that somehow
you always look good in pictures.

Applesauce MeowMeow
no

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Please for me? <3 :(

Applesauce MeowMeow
fine i’ll show you
but not in this group chat
you others don’t deserve that

Arrow Boy
:(((((

Operation Catradora

Mermista
they are disgusting

Glimmer
i would tell them to get a room
but they already live in the same house and still
flirt in the group chat

Bow
I think the problem is that they don’t even
know they’re flirting.

Glimmer
adora probably doesn’t
but you can’t convince me that catra
doesn’t know what she’s doing
maybe one of these days she’ll break
adoras obliviousness

Scorpia
Are we certain they’ll manage to get together one day?

Mermista
i sure hope so otherwise the yearning will never end

Perfuma
I have faith in them.
I mean they clearly mean so much to each other.

Buddies

Gardenia
Perfuma?
Can I tell you something?

Lotus
Of course, anything!

Gardenia
You’re good with feelings, right?

Lotus
I like to think so, yes ;)

Gardenia
Well I don’t think I need advice exactly…
More like I just want to tell someone about this…

Lotus
That’s fine!
I can just listen if you need it.

Gardenia
I mean you can answer, you don’t need to be
silent, I do want to talk about it!
And that includes another person, I guess.
But I think I know what to do.

Lotus
Okay.
Scorpia?

Gardenia
Yes?

Lotus
What did you want to talk about?

Gardenia
Okay here it goes:
I’m in love with Catra.
Perfuma?

Lotus
Oh Scorpia…
I know.

Gardenia
You know?

Lotus
Well ‘know’ is a strong word.
Let’s say I suspected it.

Gardenia
How?

Lotus
You talk a lot about her you know?
And you evidently don’t like to talk about the
whole Catra and Adora thing.

Gardenia
Yeah that’s what I wanted to talk about.
For a while I really thought we could be
something you know?
And then she told me about her feelings for
Adora and it caught me by surprise.
I mean you all knew about it, but I guess I was
just blind because I didn’t want to see it…
Hearing about it broke my heart
But then Catra said she didn’t plan to do anything
about it and I couldn’t help but hope.
Hope that at some point she’d realize that nothing
would happen with Adora and I’d be there,  and
maybe she’d develop feelings for me at some point.

Lotus
I’m sorry Scorpia.
That’s not a nice situation to be in.

Gardenia
Yeah it sucks.
And I want to support her and want her to be happy.
Although I’m starting to realize that it’s never gonna
be with me…

Lotus
You’re a good friend.
And you’re incredibly strong for accepting that.

Gardenia
But that’s it!
I want to be a good friend to her and that means
getting over her.
But how can I get over her without withdrawing
myself and hurting her with it?

Lotus
Is that what you mean by you
know what you have to do?

Gardenia
I mean I have to tell her I need to distance myself,
I can’t just disappear.
And I thought about telling her it’s because of exam
stress but I don’t want to lie to her.

Lotus
So you want to tell her the whole truth?

Gardenia
I have to, don’t I?
And I think now is a good time because we
won’t have much time because of exams anyway
so maybe it won’t be that noticeable?
And if we’re good we can be back to normal when uni starts?

Lotus
I see your point.
It’s very brave of you Scorpia.
If I can do anymore to help you, tell me, I’m here for you.

Chapter Text

Super Pal Duo

Hugger
Wildcat, I need to tell you something…
But before I do, please remember that I
am doing this because I want us to stay friends!

Wildcat
uhm okay

Hugger
I mean it’s probably going to be a bit of a shock
and might be a little hard to deal with but it
doesn’t mean I want to completely end our friendship!

Wildcat
shit what did i do?

Hugger
You didn’t do anything!
Besides exist I suppose, but that isn’t really
the problem…
Oh gosh that came out soooo wrong!
I’m sorry, forget I said that!

Wildcat
seriously scorps
you’re scaring me
how bad is it?

Hugger
Well to be honest, quite bad.
But I am optimistic that it’ll get better!

Wildcat
that is not very reassuring

Hugger
I know haha.
Oh gosh, I sure am nervous!

Wildcat
well now so am i

Hugger
Oh bugger, that’s not what I wanted at all!
But this is not easy…

Wildcat
okay come on
this just makes it worse
just spit it out
like ripping of a band aid or whatever they say

Hugger
I like you Wildcat

Wildcat
well i assumed as much
 with our ongoing friendship and all

Hugger
No, not like that.
I have feelings for you.
Romantic feelings.

Wildcat
shit
scorpia you know i don’t
i mean i’m not
fuck

Hugger
Yes, I know you don’t feel the same.
That’s not why I’m telling you this.

Wildcat
then why?

Hugger
I want to be a supportive friend, and I can’t
be that like this.
So I need to get over you.
And that’s why I need to have a little space.

Wildcat
what do you mean space?

Hugger
Honestly, I haven’t thought that far…
I mean we have exams so it’s not like we’ll see each
other at school everyday…
But maybe we shouldn’t see each other outside of it
as well.
And probably no texts either.
Just for a while.

Wildcat
for a while?
how long?

Hugger
I’m sorry I can’t tell you that.
I mean I don’t know how long exactly.

Wildcat
you said you wanted to stay friends

Hugger
I do!
But first I have to get over you.
And I don’t know how long that’s gonna take.

Wildcat
fuck
why is this happening now?

Hugger
Because it’s time.
I used to thank that maybe, well maybe something
could’ve happened if I was patient.
But then you and Adora… well you know.
I think I just finally made my peace with the fact that
nothing will ever happen between us.

Wildcat
scorpia what is this shit?

Hugger
Look I wish it wasn’t like this either.
It’s not like this is my fault!

Wildcat
so what, it’s mine?

Hugger
That’s not what I said.
Of course it’s not your faut!
You never led me on or anything.
Not knowingly anyway.
Nobody is at fault for this, these sort
of things just happen.

Wildcat
if this isn’t someones fault
then why do you have to leave me

Hugger
I’m not leaving you!
This is why I am telling you all this instead of
just ghosting you.
I just need some space.

Wildcat
and the fuck am i supposed to do with that?

Hugger
I don’t know, nothing I guess…

Wildcat
well this is bullshit

Hugger
You’re telling me.

Wildcat
yes I am telling you!
don’t do this!

Hugger
I’m sorry Wildcat, but I have to.
For our friendship.

Wildcat
for our friendship?
ha
you’re throwing that out right now!

Hugger
No, I’m not!
I need to get over you.
And I can’t do that when we’re talking all the time.
After that I swear we can go back to being best friends!

Wildcat
if that’s what you believe

Hugger
I do.
And I’m sorry.

Wildcat
don’t apologize

Buddies

Gardenia
So…
I did it.

Lotus
Very good, I’m proud of you.
And how did it go?

Gardenia
I honestly can’t say.
I guess she accepted it, but she’s not
exactly happy about it…

Lotus
That is understandable… but
at least she’s accepted it!

Gardenia
I mean I hope she did.
What if our friendship can’t ever go back
to how it was before?
She seemed pretty doubtful of that.

Lotus
Then you still have us others :)
All jokes aside, even if you can’t repair your friendship,
you still owe it to yourself to not resign
to torturing yourself by staying in love with her.
But I still think you’ll manage.
Catra might be bad at showing it, but she cares about you.
She’s probably just a bit shocked.

Gardenia
Probably.
I hope we can fix it.
So now, how do I go about getting over her?

Lotus
I don’t know… Just take your mind of it?
Oh and maybe do stuff to get to know yourself more?
And of course, also spend time with family and friends!

Gardenia
Oh well then, do you want to hang out?

Lotus
Me?

Gardenia
I mean yes.
I don’t fancy telling all of the others what’s
happening and otherwise she will be there…
Plus we haven’t hung out together in ages!

Lotus
That’s true!
And I’d love to!

exams suck
studying sucks

Sea-Ra
in conclusion: high school bad

Arrow Boy
But: graduating good.

Twinkle
yes yes whatever
i think we should blow off some steam together
lake this weekend?

Inspector Pirate
yEs PlEaSe!

Happysmile Rainbowfist
Glimmer you’re a genius!

Big Bug
Sorry, I can’t this weekend.
But you guys have fun!

Arrow Boy
:(

Super Pal Duo

Wildcat
scorpia if you aren’t coming because you don’t
want to see me there, that’s stupid
i’ll stay home instead and you should go.
you love the lake!
i don’t even like swimming

Hugger
No, no it’s fine.

Wildcat
or we could both go!
i mean i would just sit somewhere in a
corner reading my book anyway
you won’t even have to acknowledge
my existence

Big Bug
That’s not how that works.

Wildcat
then i’ll stay home
i just don’t want to take this away from you

Buddies

Gardenia
This is harder than I thought it would be.

Lotus
What is?

Gardenia
This whole ‘space thing’ with Catra.
She thought I refused to go to the lake this
weekend because of her.
And like, that’s true…
But I don’t need her pointing it out.
That is quite the opposite of distancing.

Lotus
Hmm…
No offence or something but…
Why do you read her messages?

Gardenia
Well I don’t want to be rude!

Lotus
But like you said, talking to her is not what is
good for you right now.
And you warned her that you need space.
Being consequent about that isn’t rude.

Gardenia
But flat out ignoring her?

Lotus
I know it sounds harsh...
Look, if you’re comfortable with her knowing about
my involvement in this, I could talk to her so you
don’t have to, and still give her an explanation…

The Alliance

Applesauce MeowMeow
i think i’m gonna sit this one out
i need to study
I have that math exam on monday

Sea-Ra
boo

Twinkle
no catra this is exactly why we are doing this
to get a break from studying!
you can’t study on a study break!

Applesauce MeowMeow
look sparkles i have to get high grades to get
into law
i’m all for blowing off school work
but not this weekend

Twinkle
fine
but this is the only exception!

Applesauce MeowMeow
duly noted

Super Pal Duo

Wildcat
look all done
now you can conveniently find the time and go
have fun without having to see me
and i actually do have to study so really
this all works out

Hugger
Catra…

Wildcat
i mean i could still always study there
if you think this is weird

Hugger
No that’s not… urgh I don’t know.

Wildcat
this is just strange
you kind of just dropped this on me and i have
no idea how to handle it
fuck scorps i’m so confused

Hugger
Please just… stop.

Wildcat
stop what?

Hugger
This.
Just stop.
Urgh, Perfuma can explain this better.

Wildcat
what has flowerpower got to do with this?

Buddies

Gardenia
Actually I think I might take you up on that offer.
Like now, if that’s okay?
Could you maybe just explain to her that she
should just continue her life like normal and let
me worry about the taking space stuff?

Lotus
Of course.
I know sometimes finding words is hard.

Gardenia
Exactly!
Thank you for understanding :)

Lotus
Glad I can help!

Private Chat

Perfuma
Hello Catra.
Scorpia asked me to talk to you.

Catra
what do you even have to do with this?

Perfuma
Scorpia asked me for advice on how to get over
her feelings for her and we’ve been talking about it

Catra
so you came up with all this space crap?

Perfuma
Firstly, it’s not ‘space crap’ it’s a legitimate,
valid strategy.
Secondly, no I did not come up with it, that was all
Scorpia’s idea. I just listened and supported her.
Thirdly, this is exactly what we need to talk about.

Catra
i really don’t see why i need to
talk to you about it
this is between me and scorpia

Perfuma
Yes.
But you seem like you need some clarifications what
‘giving Scorpia space’ actually means.

Catra
well then why can’t she clarify?
i still don’t get why you are involved

Perfuma
BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T WANT TO TALK TO YOU!!!
Because not talking is what ‘space’ involves.
She needs to get her mind off of you and
when you keep texting her she can’t do that.

Catra
so we’re supposed to be ignoring each other?

Perfuma
Kind of…
Her exact quote was that “you should just keep
living your life like normal and let her worry
about taking the space she needs”.
I think it just means letting her withdraw from
situations she doesn’t want to be in without
pestering her about it.

Catra
this is a joke
‘living my life like normal’
without scorpia my life is not fucking normal

Chapter Text

Private Chat

Perfuma
Of course it’s a new situation.
But maybe, if you make it through this, then
your friendship can come back even stronger.

Catra
that’s bullshit
im loosing her
she’s never going to talk to me again

Perfuma
Catra you’re spiraling.
She explicitly said she wants to get
over you in order be a better friend to you!

Catra
only because scorpia is too nice
to say she’s sick of someone

Perfuma
Scorpia is nice, but you don’t need to
patronize her because of it.

Catra
oh fuck you

Ride or Die

Idiot
Hey :)
How’s the studying going?

Brat
is scorpia there?

Idiot
Uhm no?
She said that she couldn’t so…
Why?

Brat
nothing

Idiot
Are you okay?

Brat

fuck off

Idiot
So no then.
I’m coming home.

brat
don’t you dare
seriously i want to be alone

Idiot
Okay. :(
Are you sure?

Brat
yes

Mean Bisexual & Even Meaner Lesbian

Sparkles
talk.

Horde Scum
you really gotta stop texting me
shit unprompted

Sparkles
no that’s what our relationship is based on
so why are you cranky?

Horde Scum
does adora tell you everything?

Sparkles
no just the stuff about you
which is a lot
she rarely thinks about anything else

Horde Scum
food?
basketball?

Sparkles
okay fine
but that’s not what made her pout
right now so come on

Horde Scum
if im not telling adora what makes
you think I’ll tell you?

Sparkles
cause i give considerably less shits about
you than her
so i won’t try to fix your problems
i might even make fun of you for them

Horde Scum
wow thanks

Sparkles
well?

Horde Scum
 oh what the hell
but under no circumstances can you tell adora
or your little boyfriend
its none of their business
scorpia hates me

Sparkles
i doubt scorpia is capable of hate

Horde Scum
that’s what i thought
guess i just bring it out in her

Sparkles
how the fuck did you manage to do that

Horde Scum
she says she needs space to get over me

Sparkles
she was under you?!?

Horde Scum
apparently

Sparkles
well shit

Horde Scum
pretty much
and i feel fucking guilty about it
scorpia is so good, why couldn’t i just like her back
but according to perfuma (because somehow she
thinks she’s got anything to say in this) i need to
respect her space and not text or interact with her
which basically means letting her go

Sparkles
damn

Horde Scum
how did you do it?

Sparkles
get over you?
sorry to disappoint but other than wild
fantasies you don’t do anything for me

Horde Scum
no adora
you didn’t need space

Sparkles
yes i did
but adora is oblivious enough to not notice it
and also everybody is different and shit
but hey i never hated her for it and
we’re still friends

Horde Scum
hmm
adora is much easier to be friends with
than me tho

Sparkles
considerably so
however scorpia is a lot more forgiving and
resilient to rejection than me

Horde Scum
considerably so

Sparkles
asshole

Horde Scum

Lotus
How are you?

Gardenia
Surprisingly good actually.
I really felt like I connected with myself
these last weeks!

Lotus
That’s amazing! :)

Gardenia
Yeah I feel much more confident.
And I definitely don’t feel as strongly for
Catra anymore.
And that is almost scary.

Lotus
I’m happy for you! <3
Wait scary?
What do you mean?

Gardenia
It’s weird like… for so long my feelings for her
were a stable in my life.
Almost like a compass.
No matter what happened, everything I did
was an attempt to be closer to her.
And of course I know that that isn’t healthy.
And I am willing to stop acting that way, I know
that I have own goals and stuff.
But I still feel a little empty…

Lotus
Oh.
I never thought about that.

Gardenia
Yeah me neither.
Maybe I just miss her.
I might text her so we can build our
friendship back up.

Lotus
Are you sure you’re ready for that?

Gardenia
I don’t know.
I mean my feelings don’t just go away.
But they’re less now, and I have better
strategies to deal with them.
But I am afraid that if I distance myself
any longer, I might lose her forever.

Lotus
Maybe sleep on it?
So you’re sure you’re ready?

Gardenia
I am ready.
But that is probably still a good idea.

How about I order some pizza

Idiot
Oh okay.

Buddies

Gardenia
Alright I’m ready and Catra
should be done with math.
I’ll go text her right now!

Lotus
Okay but be prepared that she’s
gonna be a bit put off at first.
I don’t think she really took your
need for space all that well.

Gardenia
Yeah, I hope it goes well.
I really miss her…
And I think Catra just felt a
bit overwhelmed with the
situation.
I’ll be careful with her!

Lotus
But remember take care of your
needs and stand behind your
decision too!

Gardenia
I will. :)

Super Pal Duo

Hugger
Hey, are you done with your
math final?

Wildcat
wait you’re texting me?
but yes i am

Hugger
Okay great!
How was it?

Wildcat
now you wanna have small talk?
just tell me that you’re happy you
don’t have to see me ever
again and get on with it

Hugger
No, no, no!
I do want to see you again!

Wildcat
no you don’t

Hugger
Yes I do!
Look, I know these last few
weeks have been rough
between us.

Wildcat
that’s one word for it

Hugger
Yeah but I mean I think now
is the right time to try to
rekindle the friendship!
I miss you…

Wildcat
what?

Hugger
Yeah, I mean the whole idea
was for me to get some space
temporarily and then we
could go back to normal.

Wildcat
you think we can go back
to normal just like that?

Hugger
Well that’s what I hope!
I never wanted it to put
such a strain on things
between us. :(

Wildcat
you don’t really expect
me to believe that do you?

Hugger
It’s the truth!
Look I’m sorry for
hurting you Wildcat,
but I just really needed
to distance myself.

Wildcat
maybe you should keep distancing
you don’t need me
you got the flower queen now

Hugger
That’s not true!
You’re still my best friend!

Wildcat
she doesn’t seem to think so

Hugger
Maybe Perfuma was a bit
assertive on my behalf.
But for me our friendship
was never in question!
it was only ever about my
feelings, never about
whether or not we should
be friends.

Wildcat
really?

Hugger
Yes!
I don’t want to lose you.

Wildcat
i kinda felt like you did
like you just wanted an excuse
to throw me out of your life
without outright saying it

Hugger
I’m sorry! :(
I swear this is not what it was!
I really just needed some
time to get over you.

Wildcat
did you?

Hugger
Yes.
To be honest, it was a
weird feeling.

Wildcat
so we could really go back
to how we were before?

Hugger
I sure hope so!
Do you want to do
something tomorrow? :)

Wildcat
yeah sure
we can just act like it
never happened?

Hugger
Is that healthy?

Wildcat
probably not
but i feel awkward talking
about it
for what it’s worth i wish
i could’ve liked you too

Hugger
Okay you’re right.
It is awkward.
Maybe we should just
ignore it…

Wildcat
oh thank fuck
but scorps?

Hugger
Yes?

Wildcat
im glad that flowerpower
 could help you in this

Hugger
Thanks!
Me too.
She is so good with this stuff.

Wildcat
yeah
and uh
im glad we can still
be friends

Hugger
Hey if Glimmer and Adora
can do it, we can too!

Wildcat
haha that’s what she said too

Hugger
Oh, you told Adora about this?

Wildcat
no
sparkles

Hugger
Glimmer?

Wildcat
yeah…we have…
an understanding

Hugger
Oh okay?
Well anyways, it’s nice to
have you back :)

ew
so tomorrow?

Hugger
You wanna go to the playground
and judge little kids?
