Hey folks! How Awesome was the Finale of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power? It was a beautiful way to end the show.

This one shot set in the Cat-Ra AU, not connected to my previous one shot "Cat-Ra's Extracurriculars" but I recommend checking it out anyway. It was a lot of fun to write. Quick heads up, this one shot contains references to a couple of shows, see if you can tell which ones.

Disclaimer: I do not own She-Ra and the Princesses of Power or any of its characters.

Cat-Ra's Cold

"The Kingdom of Snows, a place of harsh cold and yet beautiful in its own icy way. But like all places it can be the victims of scoundrels and a thieves. But the good people of this land need fear not, because their cries for help had been answered by the Legendary Sea Hawk and his faithful crew!"

"Are you gonna help or just keep narrating?" Catra asked.

"I'm getting the tale of this epic adventure ready to regale others." Sea Hawk explained.

Bright Moon received a call for aid from Princess Frosta. Apparently a sacred item had been stolen from the Ice Palace and the thieves were demanding a ransom for its return. Catra, Glimmer and Bow were given the mission or apprehending the thieves and retrieving the sacred item. Enlisting the help of Sea Hawk and the Dragons Daughter 7, they traveled to the Kingdom of Snows and quickly found the thieves.

"That went a lot better than expected." Glimmer observed several of the tied up thieves.

"Tell me about it." Catra still in her She-Ra form lifted two of the tied up thieves off the ground before tossing one onto the boat. "These guys were total weaklings."

"Hey!" The one she was still holding protested. "We may be thieves but we still have feelings."

Catra just gave him a look and tossed him onto the boat before jumping onto it herself.

"The important part is we caught the thieves and recovered the scared item." Bow spoke up.

"The what?" Catra asked.

"The one the thieves stole." Glimmer said, but the Magicat just stared up at her. "The whole reason for the mission? Weren't you paying attention during the briefing?"

The magicat shrugged, "I stopped listening after I found out we got to beat up some thieves."

Glimmer teleported from the Dragons Daughter 7 and onto the thieves ship next to the magicat. "Catra you've got to start paying more attention to the mission briefings. Not just to who you get to beat up."

"Hey we all do our part." Catra said. "You and Bowey listen to the briefing and all the boring stuff, then I do all that awesome stuff. You know," she smiled, "teamwork."

Glimmer could only face palm at the Magicats definition of teamwork.

"As I was saying," Bow got their attention, "the scared item is safe." He held it up and it was… too bizarre looking to describe.

"What… is it?" Glimmer asked.

"I'm," the archer looked it over, "not sure."

"Hmm," Sea Hawk put a hand under his chin. "I think your holding it upside down"

"Its not upside down." Bow looked at it and raised an eyebrow, then turned upside down, "I think?"

While the four of them were distracted, one of the thieves managed to cut himself free and grabbed something from a crate. "Back off!" He held up a device. "Or I set this thing off!"

Bow Gasped. "Is that a bomb!?"

"That's right! This thing is powerful enough to reduce both ships to ashes." He threatened.

"Wait, wouldn't that kill you and your band of losers two?" Catra pointed out.

"… I had not considered that." The thieves eyes widened as the very obvious fact hit him. "I should probably put this then dow-" the cold weather caused bomb to slip out of his hands and hit the floor. Everyone freezes with their eyes wide for several seconds, but nothing happens and they all let out a breath in relief. But then the bomb starts beeping signally its activation.

"Whoops." The thief said before he was hit by Bows net arrow that wrapped him up and knocked him to the floor.

"How do we shut this off?" The archer demanded.

"I don't know!" He said in fear.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Catra glared at him. "Who gets a bomb without knowing how to turn it off?"

"Bow can you shut it off?" Glimmer asked hopefully.

Bow examined the bomb. "I think I can deactivate it, should take me a about a minute." Glimmer, Catra and Sea Hawk let out a sigh of relief. "But this things gonna go off in 30 seconds." The relief was replaced by panic.

"Pinky you gotta teleport us outta here." Catra said urgently.

"What about us?" One of the Thieves asked.

Catra looked at them, "what about you?"

"Everybody clam down! I have an idea." Bow Catra grab the bomb." The magicat reluctantly did so. "Glimmer, teleport Catra as far and as high into the air in that direction as you can." Bow pointed to the starboard side. "Then Catra, throw it as far as you can. Theres nothing out there so no one will be hurt."

"On it!" Glimmer grabbed Catra's arm and teleports them into the air, Catra threw the bomb with all her strength and they teleported back onto the ship to see a large explosion it the distance.

"WELL DONE MY FRIENDS!" Sea Hawk cheered.

"WE'RE SAVED!" The thieves cheered.

Glimmer looked at them, "and still going to jail." This wiped the smile off their faces.

Catra returned to normal form as she jumped down onto the ice as she watched the smoke from the bomb dissipate. "Well the bomb made things a little more exciting. But as usual, Catra saves the day." She stabbed the sword of protection lightly into the ice. Unfortunately this caused the ice she was standing on to crack and for her to fall into the freezing water.

"CATRA!" Bow and Glimmer yelled in panic.

"Stand back!" Sea Hawk threw off his coat and ran to the edge of the boat, ready to jump off and dive into the ice waters to rescue his crewmate in peril. "Adventure!" But then the magicat jumped out of the water in panic and scurried up onto the ship, not even bothering to grab the sword of protection which was still stuck in the ice. "oh… never mind."

"Catra are you ok?" Bow asked.

The magicat shook herself to throw the freezing water off and ended up splashing it onto the tied up thieves. "Hey!"

"Well," Glimmer teleported off the ship, grabbing the sword before teleporting back. "At least it wasn't on us this time."

After handing over the thieves to the Frost Kingdoms soldiers they returned the sacred relic, but even they weren't sure what it was supposed to be. The four of them were on the Dragons Daughter 7 as it sailed back to Bright Moon.

"After another exciting adventure, the great Sea Hawk and his crew sailed away in victory!" Sea Hawk went on. "Who knows what grand adventure awaits them next?"

Glimmer teleported next to him. "Thanks again for your help Sea Hawk. But why did you set their ship on fire?" Glimmer asked. "I mean we had already captured them."

"Well Princess I couldn't set my own ship on fire, how else would we all get back home?" He chuckled like it was obvious.

"Uh, okay." With that Glimmer walked to the other side of the ship with Catra and Bow, the former had a blanket around her since they left and was shivering. "Are you sure your okay Catra?"

"I'm fine Pinky." Catra said. "I'm just a little cold."

Bow put a hand on her shoulder. "Maybe you should see the doctor when we get back home?"

"Are you serious?" Catra looked at him in disbelief. "I'm Catra, Defender of Bright Moon, Hope of the Rebellion and Saviour of Etheria. I'm not gonna let a little cold water slow me down. Some hot food and a nap is all I need when we get home and I'll be fine."

Glimmer and Bow shared a look but decided against arguing with her.

The next day the Princess alliance had gathered for their annual meeting to discuss the war against the Horde. Queen Angella, Bow, Glimmer, Perfuma, Mermista, Entrapta, Frosta, Spinnerella and Netossa sat at the table. Before they began, Princess Frosta thanked them for the retrieval of the sacred item that had been stolen.

"Don't mention it Frosta, we were happy to help." Bow smiled, but then scratched the back of his head. "But just of curiosity, what was it?"

"It dates back many generations of the Royal family." Frosta said seriously.

Mermista gave her a look. "You have no idea, do you?"

"No." Frosta sighed. "Honestly, I think it was just a ugly gift that my family took because they didn't want to seem rude."

"Yeah, that happens sometimes." Netossa said.

"Is this about the vase?" Spinnerella asked.

"Its oversized and it clashes with everything in our room." Netossa threw her hands up.

Spinnerella held her hands to calm her down. "Come on darling, it's the thought that counts."

"I'm afraid to ask what thoughts were going through their when they bought it." Netossa remarked.

"Perhaps we should begin the meeting?" The Queen interrupted. "But we seem to be missing someone."

"Where is She-Ra?" Perfuma asked.

"Come to think of it, she wasn't at breakfast either." Bow realised.

"Probably overslept," Mermista leaned back in her chair, "again."

"Actually!" Entrapta spoke up. "Given all my data on Catras personality and behavioral patterns, that conclusion seems very unlikely."

The young scientist was right. Over sleeping and being late to a meeting, nothing unusual about that. But missing breakfast? That wasn't Catra.

"Maybe she stepped through a tare in the fabric of reality and is know in another dimension." Everyone stared at the young scientist, trying to understand what she just said.

Before anyone else could offer their own theory, the doors to the war room opened and the missing magicat walked in.

"Catra your… here."

The young She-Ra did not look well, her hair was messy, she had bags under her eyes and her face was flushed. "Hey," she sniffed, "what I miss?"

"Catra are you alright?" Angella an in concern.

"Fine, why?" Catra reached for her chair to pull it out but couldn't. "Whats wrong with my chair?" The magicat didn't seem to realise her hands were almost a foot away from the chair.

No one was sure how to respond to this. But Bow walked up to her and put a hand on her forehead. "Your burning up." In response Catra lightly prodded his arm with one of her claws. "Ow!"

"Personal space." Catra gave him a look. "We talked about this."

Glimmer raised an eyebrow. "You mean when we hugged you and you threatened to scratch us if we didn't let go?"

"Exactly." Catra tried reaching for her chair again.

"She-Ra, maybe you should sit down." Perfuma suggested.

"What does it look like I'm trying to do?" Catra rolled her eyes. "Maybe if, you all…" suddenly her vision became blurry and a wave of dizziness overcame her. Catra lost her balance and fell falling forward into the arms of Bow.

"Catra!" The others instantly got out of their seat and rushed over.

"Catra? Catra can you hear me?" Bow tried to get some kind of response from is friend. The magicat mumbled something he couldn't understand. "What? What did y-Ow!" He yelped as he was prodded by one of her claws again.

"Personal space." Catra repeated.

After getting Catra to her feet, Bow sat her down in her chair which Glimmer had pulled out for her. "Hmm," Entrapta lowered her welding mask and moved in closer to inspect the magicat. She shined a small light into her face. "Puffy eyes, stuffy nose."

"What are you-" the magicat was cut off as the young scientist shoved a thermometer into her mouth.

Mermista raised an eyebrow, "why do you have a thermometer?"

"I try to be prepared for all situations." Entrapta pulled it out, "temperature is one hundred and two degrees."

"Will you knock it off!" Catra growled.

"Tell me," Entrapta didn't seem to notice her tone. "Are you also experiencing a sore throat, slight aches in your body and a mild headache?

Catra stood up. "Your gonna have a whole lot of aches if you don-" Catra paused in the middle of her threat as her face twitched. "ACHOO!" She sneezed and fell back into her chair.

"And sneezing." Entrapta noted. "All these symptoms point to one conclusion!"

"She has a cold." Mermista said bluntly.

"Oh," Entrapta lifted her mask. "You arrived at the same conclusion."

Mermista gave her a look, "… sure."

"A cold?" Frostas eyes widened and she took a step back.

"Catra you should rest." Perfuma said.

"I'm fine." Catra stood up and walked past them.

"Catra." The Queens voice made her stop. "You won't do the rebellion or yourself any good if you don't let yourself recover."

"Urgh," Catra groaned. Why were they making such a big deal over this? "Look, I'll just turn into She-Ra and instantly recover." Catra drew her sword.

"Ah Catra," Glimmer spoke up, "I don't think it works tha-"

The magicat raised the sword above her head. "For the Honor of Greysk- Achoo!" Her own sneeze cut her off, sniffing Catra tried again. "For the Honor o-Achoo! For the Hon-Achoo! Fo-ACHOO!" The final sneeze nearly made her drop her sword. "Grrr, FOR THE HONOR OF GRAY SKULL!" It a flash of golden light, there stood She-Ra, protector of Etheria. "There," Catra smirked. "No prob-Achoo!" The magicat had successfully transformed into her She-Ra form, she was clearly still sick. "Oh come on!"

"Good effort." Bow said. "But I think its time for you to head to bed Catra." The magicat didn't respond. "Catra?" The magicat had a spaced out look on her face.

"Catra," Glimmer and Frosta moved closer. "Are you okay?" Catra starts swaying a bit before she tilts forward. Glimmer teleported a few feet away while Frosta could only scream as She-Ra fell on top of her and the others winced.

Perfuma rushed over. "Are you okay Frosta?"

Frosta squirms violently as she tries to push her off. "SOMEONE GET HER OFF BEFORE SHE CRUSHES ME! OR WORSE GETS ME SICK!"

---

After lifting Catra of Frosta, who instantly ran to the bathroom to wash any germs off herself, they carried the young She-Ra to her room. Catra retuned to normal immediately after they placed her on her bed, making a couple of them wonder if she did it on purpose.

"You just need some rest and you'll be better in a few days." Glimmer assured the magicat as she placed another pillow under her head.

"Ugh," Catra groaned. "ACHOO!"

Suddenly Bow and Perfuma came in. "Good news!" Bow smiled. "Perfuma says she knows an old remedy for treating colds and fevers."

Perfuma steps forward with a bowl of liquid in her hands. "The people of Plumeria have used this special blend of flowers and herbs to heal the sick for generations." She placed the bowl on the table next to Catras bed.

"Wow, it smells great." Glimmer said.

Even with her stuffy nose Catra had to admit it did smell good. "Ok, I'll give it a shot." She grabs the bowl and drank its the contents… and instantly regretted it. "Bleh! That tastes like feet."

"Ah Catra, you lick your own feet." Bow pointed out.

"I don't lick my feet!" Catra snapped. "I lick my hands and use them to clean my feet. What about that is so hard to understand?"

"Catra!" Perfuma gasped. "You were not meant to drink it!"

Catra blinked. "What?"

"You must inhale the vapors of the medicine to absorb its positive healing properties." The Princess of plants explained.

"But its still medicine, so it'll still help right?" Catra asked, but Perfuma hesitated. "Right?"

"Well, it should help strengthen your positive energies." The Princess of plants didn't see Catra roll her eyes. "But drinking it can have… unpleasant effects."

"What do you unplea-" her stomach began making noises and her eyes widened. "Oh no." She covered her mouth with her hand. She looked around before grabbing Bow's quiver off his back.

"Hey!" Bow protested.

"BBBLLLAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!"

Everyone took a step back as Catra to puked into the quiver

"My quiver!" Bow gasped in horror. "I just cleaned it!"

"Well," Glimmer placed a hand on the distraught archers shoulder. "On the plus side the Horde will be a lot more scared of the arrows now." She smiled awkwardly as Bow teared up.

"Bowey." Catra looked up at them with shame in her eyes. "Your gonna wanna throw this thing away." Suddenly her cheeks puffed up.

"BBBLLLAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!"

---

"I'm back." Mermista walked into the room carrying a case, "and I have medicine."

"Pass." Catra groaned from her bed. "I just recovered from the last medicine."

"Catra that happened because you drank it when you were just supposed to inhale the vapors." Glimmer pointed out.

"Well Petals should have said something sooner!" Catra snapped.

"Ah what are you talking about?" Mermista asked. "And why was Bow crying when I passed him in the hallway?"

Glimmer opened her mouth to answer but Catra cut her off. "Hes just being dramatic." She looked to Glimmer, "right Pinky?"

The princess of Bright Moon rolled her eyes. "Yeah, but to be fair he did see something pretty, stomach churning." She smirked as the magicat glared at her.

"So… do you want it or not?" Mermista asked.

Glimmer looked at the case. "What is it?"

Mermista placed the case on the table and opened it revealing several different bottles. "I don't think I can drink all that" Catra said.

"Good because your not supposed to drink it." Mermista said.

"See." Catra held her hand out. "How hard was that?"

Glimmer ignored her. "So how does it work then?"

"You pour these special mixtures into water and then you soak in them for a while. Your skin absorbs they're healing properties." Mermista explained.

"Pass." Catra deadpanned.

"Come on Catra," Glimmer looked at her, "it might help."

"I don't, ACHOO!, soak." The magicat said.

"Or bathe much." Mermista quipped.

"That's it!" The magicat snapped and jumped out of bed. "I am really sick of…" she suddenly felt dizzy, "oh I stood up too fast." She tilted over but luckily Glimmer stopped her from hitting the floor.

"I gotcha." She put the magicat back in bed. Glimmer looked to Mermista, "maybe we can try this later?" Mermista rolled her eyes before taking her case and leaving the room. "You know Catra, everyones just trying to help."

"Poisoning me and trying to give me a bath?" Catra snorted. "Yeah, real helpful- Achoo!"

"Catra it was medicine, that's literally the opposite of poison." Glimmer put her hands on her hips. "And if this can make you feel better, isn't it worth a bath?"

Catra narrowed her eyes at her. "Nothing, is worth a bath."

"Oh come on." Glimmer groaned. "Remember the hot springs at Mystacor. You enjoyed that and a hot spring is basically just a hot bath."

Catra raised an eyebrow. "You mean when Shadow Weaver used her magic to try and make me go crazy and think I was being drowned."

"Oh…" Glimmer looked away awkwardly. "Right. Probably not the best example. But until that, it was pretty relaxing right?"

"Achoo!" Catra sneezed again. "Urgh. Look if you wanna help maybe bringing me some," she paused as saw Glimmer looking off to the side. "What are you doing?"

"Huh?" She looked back at the magicat. "What do you mean?"

"You keep looking across the room." Catra narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Are you up to something?"

"Up to something?" Glimmer laughed nervously, "that's crazy. That cold is making you paranoid."

Even in her sick state, Catra could tell Glimmer was hiding something. "Okay spill it," she sat up, "now."

"Okay," Glimmer sighed. "You know how when people do something you don't like or want and say its for your own good?"

"No," Catra blinked.

"Really?" This took Glimmer by surprise. "Well then," she put a hand on Catras shoulder and teleported out of the room. They reappeared in another room. "This is for your own good."

"What you talking about?" Catra asked before her eyes widened in horror.

Mermista was standing next to a filled bathtub that had bubbles in the water. She poured one of the bottles into the water. "Baths ready."

"I am not getting into that!" Catra nearly shrieked.

"Catra calm down." Glimmer held her hands up calmly. "It'll help you."

"Plus I went to the trouble of setting it up." Mermista gestured to the tub. "So not doing it would be really rude."

"Misty, when have I ever had a problem with that?" Catra countered.

"Fair enough, but the real question is," she stepped in front of Catra and smirked, "are you strong enough to stop us from putting you in there?"

Catras eyes widened and then narrowed. "I'll show you strong!" She swung at the princess of the sea, only to miss badly and lose balance, spinning around before falling to the floor. "Ow."

"Did you have to aggravate her?" Glimmer asked.

"A little." Mermista smirked. "Uh, shes making a break for it." She pointed to the floor as Catra dragged herself across the floor towards the door. "Or… crawl for it, I guess."

After lifting the magicat up off the floor and despite her many, many protests, Catra was in the tub glaring at the two princesses. "As soon as I get my strength back I am gonna make you both pay for this."

"Relax Catra, you'll feel better after this." Glimmer assured her as Mermista poured a jug of water onto Catras head and the magicat growled viciously at her, making the princess of the seas take a step back. "Well… you'll feel better physically anyway."

After soaking in the tub for a while, and multiple failed attempts to splash Glimmer and Mermista, Catra got over her natural hatred of water and just sat in the water to let the medicine take effect.

"So how do you feel?" Glimmer asked.

Catra opened her mouth to respond. "Achoo! Lousy. Stupid bath didn't work."

"Its to help you get better," Mermista crossed her arms. "Its not an instant cure."

"Well its cold now so I'm getting out." Catra stood up.

"I'll grab you a towel." Glimmer grabbed one from a rack but then both she and Mermista froze.

"What?" Catra asked as she got out of the bath.

"Your… hair." Mermista uttered.

Catra raised an eyebrow. "My hair?" She looks into the bath water at her reflection and her eyes widen. Her hair had somehow tripled in length and size. Not only that, her fur had grown to the point it looked like she was wearing a fur body suit. "WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED!?"

Mermista looked at the bottles she had used earlier. "Okay don't freak out, but I might have grabbed a wrong bottle by accident."

"Hair growth tonic? Glimmer read the label before looking at the older princess. "Why do you have this?"

"Hey its not mine." Mermista tossed back her hair as if to show it off as proof. "It was just in the same cabinet as the rest of the bottles."

"All of the other stuff must have supercharged it." Glimmer theorised.

"YOU THINK!?" Catra shouted.

"Stop freaking out." Mermista said. "You just need a trim."

"Yeah," Glimmer tried not to laugh. "I can go grab some gardening sheers from the tool shed." She Mermista both laughed at that. Catras eye twitched and she began to rapidly shake herself dry, getting most of the water on the two of them.

"Ah Catra! Not cool!" The two princesses tried to shield themselves. But when the water stopped their eyes widened at the sight of a growling Catra with teeth bared and claws extended.

"Catra, let stay clam." Glimmer held her hands up peacefully as she and Mermista backed up. "We're all friends here. Remember how you openly admit now?"

Her answer came in the form of a roar as Catra leapt at them. Glimmer grabbed Mermista and teleported them out of the way just as the doors behind her opened.

"I heard shouting." The Queen said. "Is everything all-" she was cut off as she was on the receiving end of Catras tackle, knocking both of them to the floor.

Glimmer and Mermista reappeared and gasped at the sight just outside the doorway.

"Uhhh… hi your majesty."

---

After explaining the situation to the Queen, Catra quickly grabbed some scissors to cut her fur back to her normal length. "You know Catra, the castle barber could cut your hair for you." Angella offered. "Perhaps you would like to try a new style?" Catra didn't say anything but gave the Queen a look that made her answer clear. "Ah, another time perhaps."

After cutting her hair back to normal and leaving a large amount of hair for a confused staff to clean up. Glimmer teleported herself and Catra to the latters bedroom where Bow was waiting for them.

"Hey Bow, is that a new quiver?" Glimmer asked.

"Yeah, I just got it. They," the archer started to tear up, "they… couldn't save my old one."

"Uh," Catra looked away in embarrassment. "Sorry about that."

"Its okay." Bow wiped his tears away. "I'm okay. Hopefully Frosta will have better luck helping your cold."

"Hows she supposed to help me?" Catra asked skeptically. "Last I checked you cant fight a cold with cold."

"She said she had some medicine that was very effective in treating colds." Glimmer assured her.

Catra raised an eyebrow. "Am I the only one who thinks its weird that people from the Kingdom of Ice get colds?"

"You know what?" Bow put a hand under his chin as he thought, "you've got a point."

Suddenly the door opened and the youngest member of the princess alliance walked in.

"Frosta your," Glimmer blinked, "back?"

Frosta was now wearing what could best be described as a hazmat suit. With a tube from the mask connecting to the chest. "I have the medicine," she held up a crystal bottle.

Bow scratched the back of his head. "Ah Frosta, what are you wearing?"

"It's a hazmat suit." She said simply.

"Okay…," the archer looked at Glimmer and Catra for a moment. "Where did you get it and why are you wearing it?"

"Entrapta let me borrow one of her old hazmat suits from when she was my age." Frosta handed Glimmer the bottle. "Shes supposed to take 3 spoonfuls. As for the why, its so I don't catch anything."

"Overdramatic don't you think?" Catra remarked as Glimmer poured a spoonful and gave it to her. "Bleh! That's worse than Perfumas plant medicine."

"Oh stop complaining. Medicines not supposed to taste good." Frosta said.

"What was that?" Catra looked at her. "I can't hear you through that stupid suit."

"I have kingdom to run. I'm not winding up sick like you." Frosta shot back. "I mean look at you, your more snot than cat."

"Watch it Brat!"

"Enough!" Glimmer snapped. "Catra, Frosta brought you medicine to try and help you. Frosta, Catras already sick so don't provoke her."

Frosta and Catra looked away for a moment, then the younger princess spoke. "Alright. I actually did get you something else."

Catra raised an eyebrow, "you did?"

"I figured you'd be bored stuck in bed all day." Frosta held up a small box. "So I got you something to keep yourself entertained."

The magicat blinked in surprise, before smiling as she accepted the box. "Wow, thanks Frosta." She wondered what could be in the box. She and Frosta had gotten to know each other pretty well, so whatever it was must be something good. She opened the box and her smile disappeared.

Glimmer looked at her, "Catra?"

Bow leaned over and looked inside the box. "Is that?"

Catra reached in and took out… a ball of yarn.

"What?" Frosta chuckled as the three of them looked at her. "I thought Cats liked playing with balls of yarn."

Realising she had just been pranked, quite well though she'd never admit it out loud, Catra silently stared at the Princess of ice as she laughed. Without warning she grabbed the tube ripping it out of the suits chest and holds it up to her mouth "ACHOO!"

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Frosta screamed as the magicat had basically sneezed right into her face. "SHE GOT ME! SHE GOT ME!" She ran out of the room screaming.

Glimmer watched her go before putting her hands on her hips and turned to Catra. "I bet your pretty proud of yourself right now, aren't you?"

Catra lay back on the bed with a smirk. "Oh yeah."

---

"Okay, good news and bad news." Bow said as he took Catras temperature while she was laying in bed. "The bad news is your temperature is still pretty high."

"Whats the good news?" Catra asked.

"It went down by a whole degree." The archer smiled.

"Wow, I'm practically all better." Catra said sarcastically. "Let me guess, you wanna try some kind of medicine arrow?"

"Medicine arrow?" Bow raised an eyebrow. "Thats just silly, and you know I take my trick arrows very seriously. Then again, it be possible to make an arrow with syringe and a vile of medicine." He placed a hand under his chin as he thought about such an arrows applications.

"Ugh, what have I done?" Catra groaned to herself.

"You know," Bow thought for a moment. "Whenever I got sick as a kid, my Dads would sing me a song."

Catra raised an eyebrow, "a song?"

"Yeah." Bow smiled. "Its not a magic cure but it always made me feel a little better."

Catra remembered how warm and caring George and Lance were. Made complete sense that they would sing to their sick son. "Fine," she lay back in her bed, "lets hear it."

Bow cleared his throat a softy sung the song. "Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur." He gently stroked the magicats mane. "Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr purr purr."

Catra looked at him, "seriously?"

"Right," Bow awkwardly pulled his hand away. "I don't know what I was thinking, sorry."

Catra looked away. "I didn't say stop."

"What?" Bow saw the blush on the magicats face. He could tell she was embarrassed but decided not to say anything. Instead he smiled and resumed stroking her Mane. "Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr purr purr."

Catra closed her eyes and a small smile formed on her face. "You tell anyone about this and you're a dead man."

"Understood." Bow nodded.

---

Everyone except for Catra had gathered in the war room.

"How is Catra?" The Queen asked.

"Shes resting in her room." Glimmer said. "I'm not sure how much those medicines actually helped her."

"I'd like to repeat that she wasn't supposed to drink the medicine I gave her." Perfuma spoke up before looking to Bow. "Sorry about your quiver."

"Its okay." The archer waved it off. "I'd rather not think about it."

"For the last time," Netossa groaned as she checked Frostas temperature. "You are not sick!"

"Are you sure?" Frosta asked. "What about my face, is it red?"

Spinnerella looked at her. "No, all normal. Why are you so worried about catching a cold?"

"I'm the ruler of the Kingdom of Snows, getting a cold would be…" the young princess looked away, "embarrassing. It would be like if Mermista got seasick."

"Yeah…" Mermista raised her eyebrow, "never gonna happen."

"Moving on," Bow spoke up, "I think we should just let Catra rest before-"

"I'VE GOT IT!" Entrapta popped up beside him.

"Entrapta!" Bow nearly jumped. "Don't do that, and got what?"

"The solution to Catras problem!" The scientist said in excitement.

"Her cold or one of her other problems?" Mermista remarked.

Entrapta held up a small metal flask. "It's a specially made formula that should restore Catra to full health."

"That's wonderful!" Perfuma clasped her hands together.

"Yes!" Entrapta nodded eagerly before adding. "In theory."

Bow raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean in theory?"

"Well its untested." Entrapta admitted. "So there could be side effects."

"What kind of side effects." Glimmer asked.

"I don't know, that's what makes science exciting!" Entrapta had a big smile and sparkles in her eyes.

The Queen decided to step in. "Whatever they are I think its best we avoid them."

Entrapta looked at the Queen. "Are you saying I shouldn't give Catra the formula just because its untested?"

"Correct." Angella nodded.

"I understand." Entrapta said. "But theres a complication."

"Define complication?" Spinnerella asked.

"It's a circumstance that causes difficulty." Entrapta said casually. "In this case the complication is that I already gave it to Catra."

They all looked at her in salience before Glimmer broke it. "YOU WHAT!?"

The scientist smiled awkwardly. "Well,"

Flashback

Catra was sleeping in her bed when she felt like she was being watched. She slowly opened her eyes and was greeted by Entraptas welding mask. "Oh your awake."

"How long have you been standing there?" Catra asked.

"A few minutes." The scientist said as if it was completely normal. "I was very curious about how your magicat physiology would react to the common cold. A blood sample would reveal so much data." She held up a syringe with her hair.

"Entrapta," Catra spoke calmly. "Remember what happened the last time you tried to take a blood sample from me?"

"Hmm," Entrapta lifted her mask. "As I recall, I thought of getting a blood sample while you were asleep. You woke up and seemed very angry for some reason. Then you dangled me off of a cliff."

Catra nodded, "and did you learn anything form that experience?"

"Of course, that's why I waited for you to wake up to ask you for a blood sample." The scientist explained.

"No blood samples." Catra said bluntly.

"Aw," Entrapta sighed in disappointment. "Well I also came with something that can help you." She help up a metal flask.

Catra raised an eyebrow, "what is it?"

"A special formula that should greatly increase you recovery time and re energize your body." Entrapta explained.

"Really?" Catra took the flask.

"Now it hasn't been tested yet." Entrapta consulted her notes. "But I'm confident that it will be very effective with only minor side effects. Now be sure to only take small dose." She looked back, just in time to see the magicat drink the last of the medicine.

"Huh, best tasting medicine I've had all day." Catra said. "What were you saying?"

Entrapta picked up the empty flask. "Nothing."

Present

"So not only did you give Catra an untested medicine that can have a bunch of side effects." Bow began.

"But she also drank too much of it?" Glimmer finished.

"That's right, isn't it exciting?" Entrapta didn't seem to notice the tone in their voices.

"We need to make sure Catra is alr-" Angella was cut off when the doors burst open as something jumped over their heads and onto the table. Bow realised who it was. "Catra?"

The Magicat turned to look at them, her face still red but she had a big smile on her face. "Hey guys!"

"Catra are you ok?" Perfuma asked.

"I'm AWESOME!" The magicat held her arms out. "Check this out!" She did a back flip into a handstand, "and this." She started doing one handed standing push ups.

"It worked!" Entrapta said in excitement.

Bow approached the table. "Ah Catra maybe you should slowdown?"

Catra jumped off the table landing next to Bow "Listen Bowey," She wrapped an arm around him and pulled him closer, "you are the greatest archer I've ever seen."

Bow was surprised to her say this. "Really?"

"Absolutely!" Catra assured him, "and it doesn't matter that I've only ever seen one. Your still the best."

"Uh…" he blinked, "thanks."

Catra then jumped across the room landing between Netossa and Spinnerella. "You guys are great. How come we don't hang out more?"

"Oh you could come to game night!" Spinnerella smiled. "I get the food ready."

"Maybe I better handle the food this time." Netossa said.

"What are you saying?" Spinnerella looked at her.

"You always serve vegetable platters." Netossa sighed. "No one likes vegetable platters. Why do you think no one comes to game night anymore?"

"Maybe they stopped coming because someone is overly competitive?" Spinnerella shot back.

"Oh please," Netossa scoffed. "You're just as competitive as I am."

Catra stood between the arguing couple with a smile on her face. "Sounds like fun. Count me in."

"Okay shes not in her right mind." Glimmer said knowing Catra would have walked away after hearing the words vegetable platter.

"Hmm, the side effects are unexpected but fascinating." Entrapta eagerly took notes.

"Catra," the Queen approached her slowly. "Perhaps you should sit down."

"No way! I've got too much too do." Catra jumped over the queens head and ran to the door. "By the way one of your wings is bigger than the other." With that she took off down the hall.

They all watched her go, except Entrapta was trying to measure the queens wings until she pulled them away.

"Well, shes in a much more positive mood." Perfuma pointed out.

"We should go after her." Glimmer said.

"Wait." Mermista said seriously before looking to Bow. "You the only archer in Bright Moon?"

---

"Catra!" Glimmer called out as she and Bow walked through the halls. "Where are you?"

They decided splitting up would be the best way to search for Catra, who wasn't acting like herself.

"Its your friends!" Bow called out. "Who you have admitted are your friends and can't deny it anymore!"

Suddenly the hear yelling and a crash in the other room. They ran over and opened the door to find several guards on the floor and saw Catra leap onto one guards back and knock him down. "Catra?"

"Oh hey guys!" The magicat waved with a smile.

"Catra what are you doing?" Glimmer gasped.

"I'm training the guards on how to react to surprise attacks." Catra said simply.

"She just came out of nowhere and attacked us with no warning." The Guard she had just knocked down said.

"Duh!" Catra laughed. "What kind of surprise attack was a warning?" She tapped his helmet, "think about it."

"Shes got a point." Bow admitted.

Glimmer gave him a look before teleporting over to the magicat and put a hand on her shoulder. "Catra," she teleported them both back over to Bow." I think you should come with us." The princess said calmly.

Catras ears fell. "But I've got stuff to do." She tried to run off but Glimmer teleported and brought her back.

"Catra whatever Entrapta gave you is making you act crazy." Bow stepped forward. "We need to get you back to your room so you can sleep it off."

"Okay." Catra sighed and the two of them let out a sigh of relief. "But you'll have to catch me first!" Without warning she jumped onto Bow, using him as a springboard to leap through the air, while knocking him over into Glimmer causing them both to fall onto the floor.

"We probably should've seen that coming." Bow said.

---

A door was kicked open and Mermista readied her trident as she looked around the room. "Clear."

Perfuma followed her in. "Is the trident really necessary?"

"We're tracking an out of control Catra. Well… more than usual." Mermista admitted. "We need to be ready."

"It just seems a bit aggressive." Perfuma said as they walked down the hallway. "Catra may not be herself but I'm sure she wont do us any harm."

Suddenly they hear a metal clank, it came from the armory and the door was open. The two princesses approached the door and opened it and there was Catra, surrounded by weapons and armor scattered across the floor.

"Hi!" Catra waved a sword she was holding, losing her grip and threw the sword into a wall.

"Catra please come with us." Perfuma stepped forward. "We'll take you out of this," she looked at all the weapons, "violent atmosphere."

"And come quietly." Mermista said firmly holding up her trident.

"Whoa," Catras eyes widened. "That fork is huge!"

"What?" The princess of the sea looked at her weapon. "This isn't a fork, it's a trident."

"No it's a fork." Catra pointed at it. "Its got the pointy parts."

"Its not a fork!" Mermista nearly snapped. "This is the weapon of the royal family of Salineas."

"Cool." Catra smiled. "I'll get one two!" She dug into the pile of weapons and grabbed one. "Got it."

"That's an axe." Mermista deadpanned.

"It is?" Catra looked at the axe in her hand. She shrugged and threw it across the room embedding it in the wall. "Now I got it."

"That's a mace." Mermista pointed out,

Catra threw it at the wall before grabbing another, "how about this?"

"That's a spear."

"This?"

"A dagger."

"This?"

"War hammer!"

"This?"

"Shield!"

"This has gotta be it." Catra was sure this time.

"That's another axe!" Mermista snapped.

The magicat just looked at the axe in her hand. "Are you sure?"

Mermistas eye began twitching.

"Perhaps we should all take a break from these dangerous weapons?" Perfuma suggested. "Some deep breathing exercises would help." She closed her eyes. "Breath in, breath out."

Catra blinked but closed her eyes and breathed in and out, after a doing so a couple of times she fell backwards. "I got it!" She held up the weapon she'd been searching for.

Perfuma raised an eyebrow, "a pitchfork?"

In Catras hand was indeed a common pitchfork used for yard work. "No, its called a trident." Catra corrected.

"That's not a trident." Mermista pointed out.

"Your just jealous mine has more pointy parts than yours does." The magicat smirked.

Mermista gave her an annoyed look. "That's it." She raised her arms in the air. Catra smiled and did the same. But them a large stream of water flowed into the room and towards the magicat.

Catra looked at the incoming water, then did a back flip causing it to hit the floor and cover it in water. She threw the pitch fork into the ground and landed on it with surprising grace. "Ta da!"

Perfuma smiled and clapped while Mermista face palmed. "Just get over here!" She marched over to the magicat, her feet splashing in the water on the floor.

"Mermista stop." Perfuma grabbed her hand. "Aggression isn't going to help things. "We need to use positively to reach out to Catra so she knows we mean well."

The princess of the sea stared at her. "What does that even mean?" Suddenly a helmet was shoved onto her head. "Hey!"

"Safety first!" Catra put a helmet on Perfuma and before she could object, the magicat grabbed them both and sat them down on an large shield. She jumped back onto the pitchfork which sprung her forward. "WATER SLIDE!" She hit the shield and sent it speeding across the soaked floor.

Catra was laughing enthusiastically as Perfuma and Mermista removed their helmets so they could see again, and saw the wall they were going to crash into. They both screamed but Perfuma used her powers on the flowers hanging on the walls, making them grow out and create a large mass of leaves and vines to cushion the impact as the crashed into it.

"Woo!" Catra jumped to her feet. "That was awesome!" With that she ran down the hall, she didn't know what she was doing but she knew it would be fun.

"Look on the bright side." Perfuma said as she and Mermista was tangled up in the vines that stopped them from being hurt, the latter being upside down. "The positive energy allowed the plants to save us."

Mermista could only respond in one way. "UGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!"

---

Frosta and Entrapta were searching another part of the castle. "Catra?" The former called out.

"If you can hear us, please describe any effects your feeling from the formula." Entrapta said.

"Will you forget about the formula!" Frosta snapped. "We need to find her before something bad happens, so take this seriously!"

"I always take science seriously." Entrapta smiled. "But its important to have fun two." The younger princess just gave her a annoyed look.

It was then the Queen arrived, "have you two found her?"

"Not yet, but don't worry. When we do, I'll do a full analysis of her condition." Entrapta walked past her. "I'm so excited!"

"Urgh!" Frosta groaned. "Why did you did you pair me with her? I don't need a babysitter."

"I know you can take care of yourself Frosta." Angella assured her. "To be honest, my decision was so you could keep an eye on her."

"Oh." She was given the job of watching over an older princess and keeping her in line. Frosta had to admit, that felt kidna good.

"Hey do you two think she'd let me take that blood sample now." Entrapta asked.

"Its pronounced She-Ra." Catra pointed out from behind her.

"AAAHHHHH!" Entrapta jumped into the Queens arms in shock. "Catra you scared me."

Angella looked at her. "Something to think about, wouldn't you agree?"

"Umm, she came out of nowhere and startled me. That pretty much all there was to it." Entrapta completely missed the point as she used her hair to lift herself out of the Queens arms.

"You have really nice hair." Catra held one of Entraptas pigtails.

"Thank you," the scientist smiled. "It takes some maintenance but its worth it."

"You ever think of trying something new?" Catra thought aloud. "I know!"

"Know whaAAAHHHH!" Entrapta yelped as she was pulled off her feet.

Angella and Frosta was in surprise and confusion as in a matter of seconds Catra had tied the Entrapta up with her own hair with a stylish bow on the front. "Ta da!"

"Ooohh." Entrapta admired the bow before tilting over and falling to the floor, "ow."

"Catra." The Queen said gently as she approached the magicat. "I need you to take a deep breath and stay calm." She placed her hands on Catras shoulders. "The formula you drank is affecting your mind, please come back to your room before something bad happens."

Catra looked up at the Queen like she was contemplating her words. Then she smiled. "Wow, your wings are so pretty."

"Oh, well thank you." Angella smiled. "Now lets get you back to-"

"You shouldn't be cooped up in here, you should be outside flying free!" She grabbed the Queen.

"What are yo-"

"FLY!" Catra threw the Queen out of the window. "AND BE FREE!"

"AAAHHHHHHH!" Frosta screamed as she ran to the window. "Your Majesty!"

Entrapta rolled her way over to the younger princess. "Why are you yelling?"

"Why?!" Frosta exasperated. "Catra just threw the Queen out the window!"

"Frosta."

"GAH!" The princess of frost jumped, forming ice fists as she spun around. "Q, Queen Angella?" The Queen was flying just outside the window, completely unharmed. "Oh," Frosta took a deep breath. "I forgot you had wings for a second."

Angella flew in threw the window. "We're going to talk about once you've recovered Catra. Catra?" The magicat was nowhere in sight.

"She got away." Entrapta sat up. "Other than the fact to keeps me from moving I do like this bow she made."

---

Catra was rearranging the library, by throwing books in random directions while being too high up for the Liberian to stop her, when Bow found her "Catra!"

The Magicat threw the books she was holding into the air, one of which hit the Liberian. "Bowey?"

"You gotta come quick." He said with urgency in his voice. "We've captured a Horde spy!"

Catra gasped. "Who is it? Is it the one with the things? And the face?"

Bow stared at her for a moment. "Ah… yeah. The one with the face. Follow me." He ran out of the library and the magicat followed. This left the Liberian who began picking up the books off the floor.

"First time she comes to the library and she makes a mess."

The archer and the magicat ran down the halls before stopping at a room. "In here!" Bow opened the door and they ran in.

"Okay wheres the spy?" Catra looked around. No one breaks into the castle on her watch. Must be a pretty dumb spy to go into a room with a thick sheet of ice blocking the window. "Hey… this looks just like my room."

Bow locked the door from the inside. "Sorry Catra. But you'll thank me for this later." He thought for a second. "Ok you probably wont, but still."

A moment later Glimmer teleported into the room. "Hi Catra," she grabbed Bow and teleported them both out of the room.

"Hey Pinky!" Catra waved, it was nice of her to drop in even if it was just for a second. Catra just stood there for a moment. "Wait a second…" she looked around, eyes winded and she gasped. "The spy stole my room!"

On the other side of the door the princess alliance was boarding up the door. "That should hold her." Netossa said.

Frosta created a wall of ice around the door. "For good measure."

"Is this really necessary?" Perfuma asked. "It seems very severe."

"I'm afraid so." Angella said. "Until Catra returns to normal she needs to be contained so she can't hurt herself or others."

"The soldiers weren't hurt, just a little shaken." Bow spoke up, then added, "and scratched."

"After teleporting around the castle so much I need a recharge." Glimmer sighed. "And why do you have a fish?"

"It was bait." Netossa was holding a plate with smoked salmon on it. "Rather than search the whole castle for her, I thought we could set a trap. It was simple, leave out, Catra picks up the smell and comes running, the when shes eating it trap her in a net."

"I told you it wouldn't work." Spinnerella said in a I told you so voice.

"Theres no reason it shouldn't have worked." She said.

"Except for the fact the cold would have stuffed up Catras nose." Bow pointed out awkwardly.

Netossa blinked as she realised the very obvious fact. "Not one word." She pointed at Spinnerella who just smirked.

Angella looked to Entrapta. "How will it take for that formula of yours to wear off?"

"Not to worry. According to my calculations it should wear off in the next few minutes." Entrapta assured her.

Perfuma looked at the sealed door. "Will Catra be alright?"

"She'll be fine, just drowsy." Entrapta assured her. "Thanks for untying my hair."

"Your welcome," the princess of plants smiled.

"It would have been faster if you had just let me cut it." Frosta created an ice dagger to empathies her point.

Entrapta nervously backed away next to Mermista crossed her arms. "I think your formulas officially a failure."

"Not necessarily." Entrapta took out her notes. "The data I've obtained will be invaluable towards-" she suddenly froze.

"Whats wrong?" Spinnerella asked.

Entrapta was checking her pockets. "I seem to have misplaced the second dose of the formula."

"Why would you make a second one?" Bow asked.

"In case the first one spilled." Entrapta said like it was obvious. "Then I wouldn't have gathered any data, now that would have been a failure."

"When was the last time you saw it?" Frosta asked.

Entrapta thought for a moment. "I was in Catras room, when I gave her the first dose."

It was then Glimmer then noticed a glow from beneath the door to Catra's room and something occurred to her. "Ah, did anyone take Catras sword out of her room?"

They all looked at each other, no one said anything which made the answer clear. Seconds later the ice covered door was smashed apart and everyone jumped out of the way. When the dust cleared, there stands She-Ra as she finishes the second dose of the formula.

"AH! I need that!" Catra crushed the flask in her hand and threw it down the hall and out of sight.

A metal clank was heard followed by a loud, "OW!"

"Guess that's a no." Mermista deadpanned.

"Oh I hadn't even considered how the formula could interact with her She-Ra transformation." Entrapta said in excitement, she was going to get so much data from all this.

"Catra, stay calm." The Queen said.

"Theres no time for that!" Catra swung her sword and everyone jumped back nervously. "I am She-Ra!" She swung the sword as if to empathize her point. "So long as there is evil and injustice in the world I must remain vigil- oh fish!" She spots the salmon Netossa was holding, and stabs it with her sword. "Thanks." The magicat proceeds to devour the fish with several loud crunching sounds.

"Shes eating the bones two." Spinnerella winched.

With her snack finished Catra was ready to save the day… from whatever it needed saving from. "SHE-RA AWAY!" With that Catra ran straight through a wall to get outside.

Everyone looked through the large hole in the wall for any sign of her, but saw nothing.

"So just to recount." Glimmer began. "In one day we've gone from trying to help a sick Catra, to trying to catch a not in her right mind Catra, and now we have to deal with a not in her right mind Catra with she She-Ra powers."

"Yeah," Bow kept looking through the hole in the wall, "That about sums it up."

"So," Glimmer looked at the others. "Does anyone have an idea?"

Entrapta raised her hand but and was about to speak but Mermista pushed her hand down. "Not one of yours."

Suddenly something smashed through the wall behind them, when the dust cleared it was revealed to be the very magicat they were just talking about.

"What the," Glimmer stammered in shock. "How did you get behind us so fast?"

"I'm sorry guys." Catra looked to Bow and Glimmer. "I totally forgot you."

"You came back for us? Bow asked.

"Of course I did." Catra smiled. "We're the Best Friend Squad!"

"You said it." Bows eyes sparkled, "you called us the Best Friend Squad!"

"She getting worse." Glimmer thought to herself. Suddenly Catra grabbed them with one arm and pulled them close.

"SHE-RA AND FRIENDS AWAY!"

"Aw-AAAHHHHHH!" Bow was touched by her words, but that replaced by fear as Catra jumped straight up, smashing through the ceiling while Bow and Glimmer screamed.

Everyone stared up at the hole in silence until Frosta broke it. "Why didn't she just go through the first hole again?"

"Did someone say Swift Wind?" Everyone jumped in shock as the alicorn flew in through the large hole in the wall.

"Where did you come from?" Mermista asked.

"I was in Thaymore hanging out with the local horses, but then my connection to Catra told me something was wrong." Swift Wind said. "I think."

Perfuma raised an eyebrow. "what do you mean?"

"Well at first I could sense she was annoyed and mad, which normal for her." No one argued. "But then her emotions got all weird… in ways I'm not sure how to describe. What happened?"

"Its Entraptas fault." Frosta pointed at her.

"This isn't the time to point fingers." The Queen looked at Frosta who stopped pointing. "We need to find Catra, Glimmer and Bow."

"You can count on me!" Swift Wind struck a pose. "As She-Ra's noble steed I am always ready when needed! By the way your majesty did you know theres a bunch of holes in the castle walls?"

---

"I like this tree." Catra smiled. "Don't you guys like this tree?"

Catra had literally carried Bow and Glimmer outside and they were now all sitting in a tall tree.

"It is a nice tree." Bow said as the three of them sat on a branch.

"But I don't like this spot, it'd b better over there." Catra jumped down.

"Well it grew here," Glimmer pointed out, "so what can yoAAHHH!"

They both held onto the branch as Catra ripped the tree out of the ground and casually carried it across the yard to a new spot before driving it into the ground. "There." Catra smiled but then frowned. "Hmm, you know what? I was wrong," she tore the tree out of the ground again, "over there would be best."

Unbeknownst to them Angella, Spinnerella, Netossa, Perfuma, Mermista, Frosta, Entrapta and Swift Wind were watching the young She-Ra trying to find the best place to plant the tree.

"Well, I think can all agree this is best we could have expected in Catras current state." Perfuma said.

"I'm not sure whats going on, but Catra doesn't seem like herself." Swift Wind observed.

"Yeah, just look how much shes smiling." Mermista remarked.

"I'd better check on her." Swift Wind stepped forward but the Queen stopped him.

"No," She shook her head. "In current state she could hurt you without realising it."

"I have just the thing!" Entrapta help up what looked like an air rifle and a dart. "This sedative will cause Catra to lose consciousness with no negative effects. Allowing her to sleep off the effects of the formula."

Spinnerella eyes the device. "Why do you have that?"

"Let me guess." Netossa crossed her arms. "Its untested?"

"Oh no it works." She assured her. "I've accidentally stuck in in myself more than once. But each time I woke up feeling very refreshed."

Everyone looked at each other and the Queen sighed. "If this is the only way end this without someone getting hurt. Then so be it."

"Great! But unfortunately the range is limited so I need to get closer." Entrapta explained.

"But Catra will see you coming." Frosta pointed out.

"Not to worry," Swift Wind put his head between them. "I have a plan."

"This!" Catra drove the tree into the ground. "This is the perfect spot."

"Thank goodness." Bow finally loosened his grip on the branch. He really wished he had his arrows right now so he and Glimmer could escape. But he'd lost them when Catra smashed through the fourth wall. "Glimmer, you think you can manage a teleport?"

"I don't know." The princess groaned. "I never got a chance to recharge. But I think the worst of its ovAAAHHH!" She yelled as the tree was uprooted once again.

"This time for real." Catra drove the tree into the ground causing Bow and Glimmer to fall off of the branch. But stopped falling with their faces inches from the ground, they looked to see She-Ra had caught each of them by their legs. "Gotcha."

"Thanks." Glimmer said. "But I think we should head back inside now."

"Yeah," Bow nodded. "Inside sounds good."

"What?" Catras ears fell. "But we just got here."

"Did someone say Swift Wind?" The alicorn landed in front of her.

"SWIFTY!" Catra threw he hands in the air in joy, which also threw Bow and Glimmer back into the tree.

"That's right. Your noble steed has arri-oh!" He was cut off as the magicat hugged him.

"I missed you." She lifted him off the ground a little.

"I missed you two." Swift Wind used his wings to hug her back "That's why I came. No other reason at all." He cast his eye to a bush, just as Entrapta poked her head out and sent a signal to Perfuma. The princess of plants used her magic to make another bush sprout from the ground. Entrapta quickly moved from the bush she was hiding in to the new one. Bow and Glimmer saw this from the tree and looked at Swift Wind who winked at them.

"Why are you winking?" Catra asked.

"What? That wasn't a wink." The alicorn stuttered. "I… have something in my eye." He rubbed his eye with his wing. "Much better."

Catra turned her head and saw the bushes. "Were those bushes always there?"

"Of course!" Swift Wind turned Catra with one of his wings. "Bushes don't just magically sprout up out of nowhere." He smiled awkwardly.

Catra narrowed her eyes at him, but then smiled. "Okay."

As the noble steed keep Catras attention on him, Entrapta poked her head through the bush and took aim with her air rifle. "Okay Catra," she thought to herself, "time to begin a rest cycle." She pulled the trigger and the dart fired.

Time seemed to slow down as the dart flew through the air and everyone watched until it made contact.

"OW!" Swift Wind jumped into the air. The dart had missed Catra by an inch and instead hit her noble steeds backside.

"Whoops." Entrapta said embarrassment. "It would seem my aim needs work."

Catra turned to the familiar your voice and gasped. "Entraptas being eating by a bush!"

"What?" The scientist blinked. "I'm not-"

"I'll save you!" Catra drew her sword.

"AAAHHHH!" Entrapta jumped out of the bush just before it was slashed to pieces. She ran over to the others who had come out of hiding and hid behind the Queen.

"Are you okay Swift Wind?" Perfuma asked.

"I'm okay," the alicorns legs were shaking but he tried to stand tall. "I am Swlllleeeeeppppppyyyyyy." With that he to his ground and started snoring.

"Aw," Catra smiled as she looked at him, "isn't he cute when hes sleeping."

"Okay that's it." Netossa stepped forward. She threw a net that wrapped around Catra while she held onto the other end. "Catra your coming with us."

"Netossa don't." Angella said.

"Tug of war!" Catra grabbed the net with one hand. With a mighty yank she pulled Netossa off her feet and through air over her head.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" Netossa screamed before she landed in a tree. "Ow."

"I win!" Catra cheered as the net around her disappeared.

"Netossa!" Spinnerella ran forward and used her magic to create a small mini tornado that lifted Catra off the ground and spun her around as the tornado moved along the ground. "Okay, this should make Catra so dizzy she'll pass out. Then we can get her back to her room."

"What if she throws up?" Frosta asked.

"Uh…," Spinnerella thought about the possibility. "Everyone better take a step back." It was then she heard the sound of laughing. It was coming from Catra as she spun around, clearly enjoying the experience. Spinnerella stopped the mini tornado and Catra landed in front of her with a big smile on her face.

"That was Awesome!" The magicat grabbed her wrists. "Your turn!" With that she spun Spinnerella around in a circle so fast they became a blurr while she screamed. The magicat stopped spinning which sent Spinnerella flying towards the others.

They all jumped back, except for Entrapta who was busy taking notes until Spinnerella crashed into her, "ow."

"This ends now!" Frosta created two ice fists and slammed them together. "I always wanted to say that." Frosta would be lying if she said she never wanted to punch Catra, but these were special circumstances. Besides she knew that as She-Ra, the magicat could take the hit. Frosta jumped forward and swung her icy fist.

Only for the young She-Ra to catch it with no difficulty what so ever. "Uh oh."

"You seem angry. I know what will cheer you up." Catra grabbed her with both hands. "Upsi Daisy!" With that she threw the young princess up into the air like a rocket.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Frosta screamed.

Perfuma covered her mouth as she screamed while Mermistas eyes widened in shock. The Queen spread her wings and flew into the sky after Frosta.

"Okay," Mermista twirled her trident in her hand. "This ends now!"

"Frosta already said that." Entrapta pointed out while still pinned beneath a dizzy Spinnerella.

Mermista rolled her eyes, "yeah but it sounds cooler when I say it." She sent a wave of water towards Catra who just stood there looking at the water with fascination. The water hit, but when it passed Catra was still standing there, soaked but unharmed.

She spit out some water and turned her sword into what looked like a giant ice cream scoop. "SPLASH FIGHT!" She swung and scooped up a large piece of the muddy ground, hurling it directly at Mermista. The princess of the seas eyes widened before she was hit dead on by the mud ball and knocked her back across the ground.

Perfuma saw she was the last one standing and looked to see Catra shaking the water off herself. She gulped and stepped forward. "Forgive me She-Ra." Using her magic to sprout vines beneath the magicats feet that wrapped around her body to restrain her. "But this has to stop."

"Oh," Catra looked at the vines retraining her, "you brought me lunch!"

Before she could ask, Catra bit through the vines holding her and proceeded eat the vines. Perfuma watched in shock as in less than a minute Catra had devoured all the vines. "BBBUUUUURRRRRPPPPP!" The sheer power of the belch blew Perfumas hair back and caused her to fall backwards. "Thanks." Catra didn't like salads, but it's the thought that counts.

"Catra!" They all looked up as Angella landed with a shaking Frosta in her arms. She gently set the girl down on the ground before facing the magicat. "That is enough young lady." She has tried reasoning with the girl and it failed. So now it was time use authority to end this madness. "Catra, you return to normal, give that sword and return to your room this instant or you are Grounded!"

Glimmer gasped from up in the tree. She had been on the receiving end of that tone before and knew her mother wasn't messing around.

Catras eyes widened in shock but then her eyes became determined. "You can't ground me if I ground you first!"

"Ground me?" Angella blinked in confusion. "You can't ground me Catra, I'm the Queen." While she was explaining this, Catra turned her sword into a golden rope, threw it and wrapped it around the Queen before yanking her off of the ground. Angella yelped as she fell into the mud at the feet of She-Ra. She looked up to see Catra smirk before she reached down to grab her.

From the tree Bow and Glimmer watched in shock, neither able to move or even say anything and in less than a minute it was over. The Queen had been buried in the ground up to her neck, leaving her head and the tops of her wings exposed.

"SHE-RA WINS!" Catra raised her sword in victory.

Angellas eye twitched. "You are in so much trouble."

Catra did a back flip landing next to the tree. She struck it with her fist, causing Bow and Glimmer to fall into her arms. "Come on guys!" She held them both with one arm and threw the golden rope up towards the castle wrapping it around a flag pole. "DRAMATIC EXIT!" With that she swung away.

As the trio disappeared from sight, the others started to pick themselves up. Netossa got herself out of the tree, Spinnerella recovered and got off of Entrapta, Mermista wiped mud off her face and Perfuma was comforting a still shaking Frosta. "On the bright side, the formula does seem to making She-Ra feel better."

"See." Entrapta looked at Mermista. "I told you it wasn't a failure." Mermista didn't respond, but casually tossed some mud into the scientists face.

"Now what?" Spinnerella asked.

"Someone get me out of here." The Queen said, trying not to raise her voice and show how irritated she truly was. Perfuma used her magic to grow vines that loosened the ground around the queen and lift her out of the ground. "Thank you." Angella composed herself, despite being covered in mud. "Now we need to pull ourselves together and go after them."

"Okay but lets wash the mud off first." Before the queen could ask, Mermista used her magic to drop water on both of them and washing off the mud.

Angella stood there, every part from her feet to her wings completely soaked. "Thank you, Mermista."

"You're welcome." Being the princess of the sea, Mermista didn't seem to realise some people might have a problem being soaking wet.

---

They received word from the guards that Catra had been spotted heading for her room. They arrived to see the doors Catra had destroyed earlier had been replaced. By doors that had been that been stolen from another room.

Spinnerella knocked on the new door… which proceed to fall down to the floor. "Uh, knock knock?"

Catra was standing there, still holding Bow and Glimmer with one arm. "Hi everybody." She waved with her free arm.

"Please help," the archer and the princess squeaked.

"Anybody got an idea?" Netossa asked.

"I have seventeen ideas on how to resolve this situation." Entrapta spoke up. "But they all involve explosives, with ranging from the explosive force of a grenade-"

"No explosives!" Angella cut her off.

"Hey now that everybody here we should throw a party!" Catra was excited. "A big awesome party! Way bigger and awesomer than that lame Princess Prom."

"Hey! Princess Prom was not lame!" Frosta snapped. She couldn't deny the party had setbacks, but she had worked really hard on that party. "Right?"

"Well we got kidnapped." Bow pointed out awkwardly. "So we're kinda on the other side for that one."

"There'll be music, tons food," Catra went on, "Oh everybody can sit on the throne in its knew spot."

"New spot," Angellas eyes widened. "Catra where did you put my throne?"

"I don't remember." Catra grinned. "But I know its somewhere fun."

Everyone shared a worried look as they tried to think of a way to rescue Bow and Glimmer, and subdue Catra.

"Man." Catra sighed. "It is crazy to think of everything that's happened since we first met isn't it?"

"Yeah, crazy's definitely the right word." Glimmer admitted.

"Back then, if you had told me all the stuff that was gonna happen. I would been like, Wow! You can see the future?" The magicat eyelids fell slightly. "But its been fun, even the parts that, weren't. They kinda… sucked."

"Whats wrong with her?" Frosta whispered.

"Hmm, she seems to be slowing down." Entrapta said. "All her activity seems to have caused the effects wear off faster than the previous dose."

"You know what?" Catra began swaying. "I don't say this enough, but I'm really lucky I met you guys."

"Really?" Even in the current situation, Bow and Glimmer were still touched by the magicats words.

"Yeah, you're my best friends…" Catra then fell sideways onto her bed, bringing Bow and Glimmer with her. Everyone was silent for a moment, wondering if it was really over, or was the magicat about to spring up and cause more havoc.

"Catra?" Bow tried, but the only answer was Catra sleeping soundly.

"Yeah, shes out." Mermista said.

Frosta let out sigh of relief. "Finally." The sense of relief was shared by everyone in the room.

"Ah guys?" They looked to see Bow and Glimmer still being held tight. "A little help?"

They all tried to pry Catras arms off of them, but even while she was asleep the magicat was still too strong. Entrapta even tried using her hair to use her hair to pry her arms off, but Catras foot shot out and kicked the young scientist out of the room. "I'M OKAY!"

"This isn't working." Spinnerella said.

"Okay. One last teleport." Glimmer focussed. "Come on!" The pink sparkles slowly appeared around her. Moments later she teleported several feet away, and was caught by Perfuma and Mermista as she nearly collapsed.

"Glimmer," her mother rushed to her. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Exhausted, but fine. I did it!" She smiled. "We're Free!"

"Ah Glimmer?"

The princess looked back to oldest and best friend… who was still trapped by the arm of a sleepy She-Ra. "Why didn't you teleport me out two?"

"Oh no." Her eyes widened. "I only had enough magic left to teleport myself. Sorry Bow."

"But-" he was froze when Catra cuddled up to him and he blushed.

"Aww," Perfuma clasped her hands together at the sight.

"No Awws." Bow said firmly. "This is not an aww moment."

"Hes right." Mermista smirked. "Somebody take a picture."

"What?" Bows eyes widened. "No pictures!" There was a flash seconds later.

"Got it!" Entrapta held up her tracker pad with a picker of Bow being cuddled by a sleeping She-Ra.

"I'm gonna need a copy of that picture." Mermista said.

"Me two." Frosta added.

"Oh can I get one?" Perfuma asked.

"Same here." Spinnerella and Netossa said together.

Angella sighed. "At least shes getting some rest. Course after today I think we all could use some rest."

"Your gonna get me free first right?" Bow asked, but when the Queen didn't answer he sweat a little. "Right?"

"I don't think we can." Angella said.

"WHAT!?" Bow practically shouted.

"I'm sorry Bow but Catra is too strong." She apologised.

"Plus the last thing we want is her waking up and going on another rampage." Netossa added.

"I don't think that qualifies as a rampage." Spinnerella said.

"Either way," the cut in. "I'm afraid our only option is to wait until Catra returns to normal."

The archer couldn't believe this. "So your just gonna leave me like this?"

"Looks that way." Mermista shrugged.

"If it helps, I'm sure your presence will have a positive effect on Catra." Perfuma tried to comfort him.

"At least until she wakes up." Frosta added.

"Purr," Bows eyes widened and his blush was brighter than ever.

"Lets go everyone." With the Queens words they all left the room, leaving Bow in the grip of She-Ra.

"Guys?" Bow had hope when Perfuma rushed back in. But disappeared when she only put the blanket over him and Catra. The princess of flowers gave him a smile before walking out. Before he could call for help again Entrapta walked in, lifted herself upwards with hair before taking another picture.

"Its for data." She said before leaving the room.

"Psst, I'm gonna need copies of both those pictures." Glimmer whispered to Entrapta as she entered the hallway. "Okay everybody listen up. No more special medicines, no more experimental formulas." She looked at Entrapta for that part. "From now on, Catra just gets bed rest and some hot soup. Is that clear?"

The other princesses nodded in agreement. The Queen gave a small smile, impressed at how her daughter was handling the situation.

"And I think we can all agree on one thing." Glimmer put her hands on her hips. "We never ever tell Catra that she beat up almost the entire Princess Alliance twice in one day."

"Agreed."

"Good." Glimmer sighed. "I really need to go recharge now."

"Alright but before you do." The Queen faced her daughter. "What happened to my throne?"

"Well…"

The Throne Room

"How did she get it on the ceiling?"

Angella, Netossa, Spinnerella, Perfuma, Mermista and Frosta were standing together looking up at the Queens throne, which was somehow upside down on the ceiling.

"Better question, how did she do it while still holding Bow and Glimmer?" Mermista asked.

"Well I gotta hand it to Catra, shes full of surprises." Netossa said.

"Oh!" Frosta spoke up. "You should leave it up there!"

Angella looked at her in confusion. "What?"

"Next time someone comes to see you and they don't see anyone. Then you say "Up Here," and they look up to see you on the throne." The princess of frost chuckled. "Just imagine the looks on their faces."

Angella blinked and gave the young princess a moment for stop chuckling. "I think not."

---

Catra sighed contently as she began to wake up. She felt the familiar softness of the blankets of her bed, but she felt something new. She was cuddling up against something, something warm. Catra didn't know what it was but she could lay here with it all day. The magicat opened her eyes and stared directly into Bows.

"Hi."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Catra screamed as she pulled away from the archer who moved back in panic, causing him to fall off of the bed.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BED!" Catra demanded.

"You grabbed me!" Bow held his hands up defensively. "But I didn't do anything! I swear!"

Catra stretched out her claws. "Bowey you've got ten seconds to explain before I- ACHOO!"

As if summoned by the sneeze, Glimmer teleported into the room holding a tray with a bowl of soup on it. "Your awake."

"Pinky? Whats-Achoo!" Catra sneezed again.

"Your still sick." The princess observed.

Bow rushed over to her, "and she mad."

"Yeah," The magicat narrowed her eyes. "So will one of you tell me whats going on?"

"Whats the last thing you remember?" Bow asked.

Catra blinked as she thought back. "I woke up in my bed and saw Entrapta staring at me. Then…" she paused before looking them, "everythings all blurry."

"Well let me give you the short version." Glimmer began. "Entrapta gave you an experimental formula to help with your cold, it did for a while but also made you go kinda crazy. We managed to lock you in your room, but you drank a second dose of the formula and went crazy again, this time as She-Ra. You passed out holding onto me and Bow and I only had enough magic left to teleport myself out, you were too strong to free Bow so we had to just wait until you returned to normal." Glimmer finished before looking at the archer. "Why didn't you call us when she turned back?"

"I was about to but then she woke up." Bow explained. "She kept purring a and cuddling up against me." He paused when he heard Catra growling at him. "But why focus on the past? I'll see you later Catra, feel better!" With that he ran out of the room.

"You also broke down the doors, and we had them replaced." Glimmer said.

Catra lay back down in her bed. "How bad was it?"

"They were completely shattered." Glimmer explained. "Entrapta offered to install doors with a voice activation lock but-"

"Not the doors!" Catra snapped. "I mean me. Did I- ACHOO! Did I do much damage?"

"I'm not gonna lie, you made quite a mess." Glimmer said honestly. "Books scattered around the library floor, weapons embedded in the armory wall, holes in walls, holes in the garden and you put my Moms throne on the ceiling."

"The ceiling?" Catras eyes widened in disbelief. "How'd I do that?"

"I have no idea, and I was with you when it happened." Glimmer shook her head. "I brought you some soup."

Catra took the soup, "is your Mom mad?"

"Honestly, shes less angry about what you did and more confused about how you did it." Glimmer admitted. "The good news is since you were weren't in your right mind, your not gonna be in trouble for any of it."

"Good." Catra let out a sigh of relief before she tried the soup. "huh, this is good."

"Yeah, it's the same soup I get whenever I get sick." Glimmer smiled.

Catra was about to take a spoonful when she froze. "Is this… some kind of magic remedy?"

"Nope." The princess shook her head. "Just regular soup." That was enough to assure the magicat.

"So," Catra looked at her. "Being a magical princess doesn't stop you from getting colds?"

"I wish." Glimmer sighed. "I haven't had a cold in years. Been very careful after last time."

Catras ears perked up at that. "What happened?"

"Uh, nothing." Glimmer looked away.

"Oh come on." The magicat said. "You know I'll find out eventually."

Glimmer sighed knowing that if she wanted to, Catra would find out somehow. "Okay. Last time I got a cold, I ended up teleporting every time I sneezed."

Catras eyes widened. "Seriously?"

"I'd be in my bed and one sneeze later I was in the war room, another sneeze and I was in the bathtub, next I was sitting on the throne soaking yet."

"Oh man," Catra laughed almost spilling her soup. "I would've killed to see that."

Glimmer rolls her eyes. "Just eat your soup."

"Achoo!" Catra wiped her nose before taking another sip. "Is it always like this? When people get sick I mean."

"No, but they aren't usually given experimental formulas." Glimmer chuckled. "Or have power turn into She-Ra."

Catra rolled her eyes. "Not that, this." She gestured to the soup. "Everyone trying help and being so… nice?"

Glimmer looked at her confused. "Well yeah. Who wouldn't?" The magicat didn't reply and looked down at her soup. "Oh," Glimmer realized the answer to her own question. "Sorry."

"Forget it." Catra looked at her reflection in the soup. "I didn't need anyone's help." It was then she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Everyone needs helps sometimes Catra." Glimmer said. "And here you'll always have people who will help because they care about you."

Catra couldn't help but smile a little at her words. "Okay, okay, no need to get all sappy."

"Oh please you think anything emotional is sappy." Glimmer chuckled. "Besides theres nothing wrong with being a little sappy."

"Try a lot. Achoo!" Catra sipped her soup. "Seriously Pinky, your like a sister."

Glimmers eyes widened. Did she hear that right, and did Catra really mean it. "You, really see me as a sister?"

"Yeah," the magicat looked at the princess. "Your annoying, your always in my personal space and always are always dragging me into someoneelses problems." Catra smirked at annoyed look on Glimmers face. "But," she looked away for a moment, "you also try to cheer me when I feel like a screw up and try help me through whatever problems I'm having . "So yeah," she turned to Glimmer, "your like the little sister I had never had."

The princess of Bright Moon stared at the magicat as she processed her words. Catra didn't give compliments often, especially such meaningful ones. It made her think back on how their relationship had changed since they had first met. Back then the magicat wouldn't have accepted the soup most likely thinking it was poisoned, now she accepts it and even thanked her for it. While simple it was a sign of how she now trusted Glimmer completely, the same way the princess trusted her.

"Well your rude, you rarely listen and always think you know better than everyone." Glimmer replied. "But you always try to protect me when I'm in trouble. So," she smiled warmly, " I guess you're the big sister I never had."

The two them smiled at each other until Catra, "ACHOO!" she blushed and looked away. "So, now what?"

"Now you lay there and rest." Glimmer said. "If you need anything just ring this bell and someone will come." She placed the bell next to her bed. "I'll be back to check on you soon." With that she teleported out of the room and into the hallway. Glimmer let out a sigh of relief as the craziness of the day had finally come to an end.

Suddenly she heard the sound of the bell ringing. Feeling alarmed she instantly teleported back into the room. "Catra whats wrong?"

"Ice cream," she replied.

Glimmer blinked, "what?"

"I want ice cream." Catra repeated.

"What? Catra that bell is if you need something." Glimmer said.

"Well then I need some ice cream." Catra retorted.

Glimmer face palmed. "Your not supposed to eat cold things when you have a cold."

"Really?" Catra thought for a moment. "What about cookies? Cookies are hot."

Glimmer didn't respond right away and stared at her for a moment. "Just eat your soup and get some rest." Glimmer teleported out of the room.

Catra rolled her eyes and had some more soup. "Achoo!" Her eyes shot open and she rang the bell.

"For the last time." Glimmer groaned as she teleported back into the room. "I'm not getting you cookies."

"Somethings coming back to me." Catra said.

This took the princess by surprise. "What?"

"I'm starting to remember something I did." The memory was blurry but Catra was getting glances of it. "I was in the garden and," her eyes widened, "oh no."

"What is it?" Glimmer asked.

"I didn't," the magicat stammered, "I couldn't have,"

Now Glimmer was getting worried. "Catra, what is it? Please talk to me?"

"Pinky, did I…," Catra turned to Glimmer, her expression full of fear. "Did I really eat a salad?"

Glimmer just stared at the sick magicat with a blank expression. All the damage, the abduction of herself and Bow, defeating the Princess Alliance, and this is what she remembers? And shes not even remembering it right. "Yes… you ate a salad."

"Ugh." Catra groaned. "I really was out of it. Achoo!"

---

After a few days of bed rest Catra had completely recovered from her cold. Much to not only her own joy, but to the relief of everyone else.

Catra entered the War Room to see everyone waiting for her.

"Good morning Catra," the Queen smiled. "I trust your feeling better?"

"Way better," Catra nodded as she took her seat and put her feet up on the table. "I'm just glad the rebellion could survive with out me for a few days."

"Yeah, shes definitely back to her old self." Netossa remarked.

"Its good to have you back Catra." Swift Wind stood beside her. "Sorry I couldn't visit you more while your were sick."

"Eh don't worry about it." Catra waved it off. "Thanks for the basket of apples your brought me. Even the ones that had bites taken out of them." The alicorn looked away trying not to look guilty, much to Catras amusement. "Hey whats this I heard about you getting shot in the butt with a sleep dart?"

"Not much to say. I got hit and I fell asleep." Swift Wind explained. "But I did wake up feeling refreshed."

"Told you." Entrapta smiled to Mermista to rolled her eyes.

"Okay, so what I miss?" Catra asked.

"Not much." Bow shrugged. "There hasn't been any Horde activity in almost a week. it's a good thing no one outside of the castle knew you were sick. If the Horde found out She-Ra was out of commission, no doubt they would have tried something."

"I wasn't out of commission." Catra said. "I bet I still could have taken any of them even if I was still sick and out of it." She then noticed everyone giving each other nervous looks. "What?"

"Nothing Catra." The Queen assured her. "Now get your feet off the table." The magicat complied. "Lets begin the meeting."

"Before we get started," Glimmer spoke up with a smile on her face. "We do have some new art work."

Catra raised an eyebrow. "Art work?"

"That's right." Glimmer nodded. "Entrapta was kind of to provide the portraits."

"It was no trouble." Entrapta smiled. "I just enlarged the pictures I took, everyone provided their own frames."

"Frames?" Catra just blinked in confusion as the princesses got out of their seats. "What are you all talking about?"

"I think its better if you just watch the unveiling." Frosta smirked.

Catra watched in confusion as the princesses stood in a line, each with something covered by a cloth. "Any idea whats happening Bowey?" She turned her head to see the archers seat empty. "Bowey?"

"Before this goes any further," Bow poked his head out from behind the Queen's chair. "I want you to know I had nothing to do with this and was firmly against it."

Now she was even more confused. "Will someone just tell me already?"

"Better yet," Glimmer grinned, "we'll show you." With that they all pulled the clothes off, revealing the portraits. Each one had a different frame. Glimmers was pink with sparkles. Mermistas was blue with seashells. Perfumas was decorated with flowers. Frostas was made of ice. Entraptas was made of metal with gears on the corners. Spinnerella and Netossas was a tasteful mix of silver and purple. But what stood out most was the portraits themselves.

"WHAT THE HECK!?"

The portraits were the pictures Entrapta had taken of Catra as She-Ra, asleep on the bed and cuddling up to a nervous Bow.

"A little something to remember that day by." Glimmer chuckled.

"They truly show your softer side." Perfuma smiled, completely missing the magicats reaction.

"Once again I was against this!" Bow called out from behind the Queens thrown.

Swift Wind looked at the portraits. "Huh, I don't remember this."

"It happened after you were…" the Queen tried to find the right word, "incapacitated."

"She means when you got shot in the butt by that knock out dart." Frosta clarified.

"Hmm," Swift Wind placed a wing under his chin as he thought. "You know when I woke up my link to Catra told me she was feeling happy and safe, now I see why. Good work Bow."

"Don't mention it." Bow said. "Not to anyone."

"When I get back to Salineas, I am hanging this right in my throne room." Mermista smirked. She enjoying this so much she didn't noticed the golden glow behind her. "That way everybody can se-"

Suddenly there was a gust of air and Catra, now in her She-Ra form was standing on the other side of the room the Sword of Protection in her hand.

Angella opened her mouth and seconds later the portraits fell apart, having been cut to pieces by Catras sword in the blink of an eye. "Oh dear."

Catra turned to face the princesses and bared her teeth in anger.

"Hmm, Catra appears to be highly irritated." Entrapta spoke into her tape recorder. "Everyones reaction seems to be backing away slowly." The others were indeed backing away.

"Catra." Spinnerella held her hands up in peacefully way. "Lets remain calm."

"We were just kidding." Frosta added.

Given how easily Catra had beaten them all while under the effect of the formula and thinking they were all playing a game. No of them were looking forward to fighting Catra while she was serious and angry.

"Perhaps some deep breathing exercises would help." Perfuma suggested.

Catra glared at the others and raised her sword making them flinch. But the Catra closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She lowered her sword and held it out to the Queen. "Hold this."

"Oh," Angella blinked before taking the sword. "I must say Catra, you being very mature about the situation."

"Well I'm not gonna cut them up with a sword." Catra said and everyone let out a sigh of relief, only for the magicat to extend her claws. "It'll be more satisfying when I use my own claws!"

"Catra, we're your friends remember?" Glimmer reminded her.

"Yeah, you are my friends." Catra smirked. "So that's why I'm giving you all a head start."

Glimmer couldn't help smile a little. Back when they first met Catra would have attacked without warning, now she was giving them a head start. How far they had come. "We appreciate it." Glimmer grabbed Frosta and Perfuma. "Everybody run!" With that she teleported them out of the room. "At least I still have the small copy." The doors burst open as Mermista, Entrapta, Spinnerella and Netossa ran out of the room.

"You could have teleported us two!" Mermista yelled as they ran.

After a about a minute Catra grinned. "The hunt is on." With that the young She-Ra ran out of the War Room.

"Catra wait!" Angella called out but it was too late.

Bow poked his head out from behind the Queens chair. "Guess the good thing about being in the picture is Catras not chasing me."

For those of you wondering why Entrapta was still a part of the Rebellion, remember this is set in an alternate AU. Besides as you've all just read this story and I think you'd all agree it would have been lacking very funny elements without her. This started as a fun game, but then I turned it into a full one shot. It was harder than I thought it would be but I am very pleased with the result. I hope you all enjoyed it.
