    ❝𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 wonderful morning!" Glimmer exclaimed when she got up. She may have been made the queen, but she was still a kid at heart. Getting up was so exciting and obviously Glimmer's favourite part of the day. It opened a door to more fun things to do and more places to see. She met with Catra and asked if it was okay if they borrowed Adora again. Catra had nodded and replied, "It's fine. I still have Melog for company." The alien cat purred at her side and Glimmer smiled.

      She quickly wished Catra good luck with her day and continued to plan out the day's activities. This time they were going to visit Frosta's kingdom. Bow had listened to the details of Glimmer's plan and he supported them well, that made Glimmer happy. Why wouldn't he support her? He was her best friend, oh, wait, Glimmer realized that they were dating. He was her boyfriend. She had given him a kiss on the cheek before she teleported to Adora's room. Teleportation was the best way to sneak in extra kisses and be gone before he could even register the kiss.

       Adora grumbled when she woke up, but she was much more used to being forced to wake up by now. She gazed up at the girl with the bright pink hair and adjusted her vest. Adora put her hair up in a ponytail and they were ready to go. They grabbed some fruit, but since the journey took longer for Frosta's kingdom, they didn't each a long breakfast. Frosta was happy to see them.

     She had prepared a giant slide. "I've been working on it ALL DAY." She exclaimed. Perfuma had stopped by in kingdom. Glimmer teleported her and Adora to the stop of the tower.

     "This will be so much fun!" Glimmer said.

    "Really?" Adora asked, she was a little bit nervous.

    "Yeah, come on!" She said. "I'm going to beat you down."

    "Ha, you wish!" Adora said, before bumping in front of her to go down the slide. Glimmer hesitated before going down, even though she appeared to have so much confidence.

    When they got down, Bow had helped her up from the ground after the slide. "When's it my turn?" He asked.

     Glimmer took his hand and teleported both of them up, "Now!"

     He went down and almost dove into the ice solid ground of Frosta's palace. They had all laughed, he didn't get hurt so things were all fine. Perfuma was a little bit nervous to try the huge slide that Frosta made so Frosta made an ice helmet for the flower princess. That made her feel more secure. Perfuma had given the slide an excited scream and Frosta gave her a high five.

     "Thank you so much for letting us come to you kingdom." Glimmer said.

     "Anytime, for fellow royalty." Frosta told her.

     Then Glimmer whispered, so Adora didn't hear. "Make sure to up your defences though, we still don't know what those people from the other planet might be capable of."

     The young ice princess nodded. She explained what she had been doing already and Glimmer was quite proud. Glimmer loved visiting all of her princess pals, but it was about to get dark soon so she decided to do something at home.

     "What are we going to do next?" Bow asked Princess Glimmer.

    "Just going to visit some family." Glimmer told him.

    "Micah?" Bow said.

    Glimmer nodded, "We were talking a couple nights back and he really wants to see Adora. I don't think he's worried about the memory loss, but I think that he really just wants to meet my friends."

     Bow chuckled, Micah was sure being such a typical dad. "Maybe you should introduce your father to my dads."

     That made Glimmer laugh, she had such a nice smile when she laughed. "Will do someday. But first we have to bring Adora to him."

     Adora thought that it was so cool that he was super talented in magic. Micah didn't normally like showing off all of the wonderful tricks that he could do with magic, but he really like Adora's investment in the practice. She have the biggest smile when ever he used a spell. Glimmer and Bow had never been so quiet in a conversation before. "This is going so well." Bow told her.

     "I'm so surprised. Happy, but surprised." Glimmer told him. She had looked at Bow and she wanted so bad to kiss him, but her dad was there and she he knew about them being a thing, she was just nervous around him.

      Micah had suggested to take out a couple of the board games that Glimmer had found in her bedroom. Glimmer thought that it was a fantastic idea, until she saw how competitive Adora could get. They played Magicopoly for hours and they still hadn't finished the game. At the end, everyone was tired but Adora was still rolling the dice like a maniac. Glimmer and Bow decided to fake losing by making up fake rules for the game. They forfeited. They were super tired of the whole thing. It was still a wonderful day, nevertheless, which made Glimmer wonder if Catra was okay with letting them hang out with her for one more day.

     "What's up with Catra?" Adora asked before they all went to bed.

     "Nothing, she's just busy." Bow told her.

     "But why?"

     "Because she's doing work for the prophecy project. She's trying to find out what the people were trying to do with the meteorite." Glimmer said, which was a complete lie.

    "But why?" Adora persisted in asking again.

    "Because she wants to help the kingdoms be prepared in case there's an invasion." Bow told her.

    "But why?' Adora had asked for a third time.

    Glimmer and Bow had run out of things to tell her, there was simply nothing else to say. "What else do you want to hear?" The princess finally asked.

     "Why is Catra doing this is she specifically told me not to focus on solving the prophecy?" Glimmer and Bow found that manner very odd for Catra. It didn't seem like her to tell Adora not to do something.

     "She told you not to do that?" Glimmer asked.

     "Yeah." Adora confirmed.

     Glimmer looked at Bow. Without even saying anything he knew what she was looking at him for, he nodded. "The truth is that Catra...she sort of...Catra wanted...she wanted us to take you off her hands. Only for a little while! She just wanted a little bit of a break."

     "From me." Adora had said sadly.

     Glimmer struggled to say something reassuring. "No, she just, it's kind of hard when you have so many things to do and complete. Sometimes you just get stressed out and that can make someone feel sad or want to be alone. Away from people."

     Adora nodded, but she left the room and went back to her bedroom. "It's fine. It's not your fault." Bow told her.

     "What if it is?" Glimmer said and with that she headed to bed. She hoped that she could dream her worries away. The whole thing had made her super insecure about hanging around her friends. She hoped for the strength to wake up and act like things were okay between them, it was all she could do.
