A Hike to Your Heart || (Catradora Camping Story) •Completed•

Chapter Eleven: Acknowledging The Past

After quite a long time of Adora explaining to her friends the history between her and Catra from being a small child to now, the group begins to now understand how important the feline truly is to her...even when they had their moments where lines were crossed.

Perfuma: (Sobbing out a water fountain of tears) Y-You and Catra deserved to live better! (Pulling out a lillypad to blow her nose into...because y'know, plants.)

Mermista: Jeez...I honestly cannot blame Catra for acting like a psycho when growing up with such an abusive parental figure. (She says before cramming her mouth full of marshmallows.)

Bow: You could say that again...if anything, Shadow Weaver's the true villain in all of this! Being manipulative will get no one anywhere good...(He'd cross his arms with his eyes shut, shaking his head from side to side.)

Adora would smile to their reactions seeing that they now have a better perspective on who Catra really is.

Adora: Now do you see? Catra isn't actually a bad person...she's just...being misguided and controlled into the wrong path. Deep down inside, I know she has good in her and that's why I can't truly see her as an entire enemy.

The blondie would look down after her sentence, slowly rubbing the side of her left arm as it looks like she is attempting to lock in the tears trying to eagerly draw out. Bow and the other Princess came in close to Adora to bring her in for a giant group hug.

Adora: I just wanna hug her again...and feel her warmth cuddled up against me...j-just like...the old times. (Sniffling hard mid-group hug.)

The second everyone felt the sad aura of her emotions, the group began letting out soft hearted sayings to help Adora feel better.

Bow: We'll make sure you and Catra encounter each other again the proper way!

Mermista: Yeah! If there isn't any kissing then this entire beach will drown to my dramatic wrath!

Perfuma: I disagree with the later option but kissing is such a beauty and very passionate! (Cheerful giggling.)

Adora then looks up to everyone after letting some of her tears escape down to her cheeks, smiling widely before hugging them all back.

Adora: Thank you all so much...I couldn't ask for any better friends...I mean it.

They all exchanged in a good laughter, soon releasing the long group hug to give Adora her space. The confident boosted blondie would rise herself up to her feet before settling her hands onto her hips.

Adora: Well then, we should all go find Frosta now! She couldn't have gone off too far.

The group would then look at each other with an expression saying that they're not so sure with Adora's claim.

Bow: Uhh...I don't know, Adora. Your story lasted about an hour I'd say...

The blondie's eyes would widen up to his response.

Adora: A-An hour?! Jeez, it felt like 10 minutes to me!

Mermista: Well let's not just stand here and squabble! So where would a panicking 12 year old wander off to?
