Hi again, just rewatched all of season one to prep for season two tomorrow. I got some hardcore She-Ra motivation and decided to go ahead and finish this Epilogue. It's a few years in the future where Adora (As She-Ra) dealt a major blow to Hordak and his forces. Hope you enjoy and expect more once i finish season 2 ;)

Epilogue

''Adora come on! If we don't hurry we are going to be late!'' I say as I put on my tuxedo jacket.

''since when have you been a morning person?'' asks Adora as she sits up in bed.

''honey I love you….you are the light of my life, but you need to get up!" I shout as I try to tie the bow tie on my tux. Today is the official ceremony/celebration for defeating the Horde. A month ago today Adora lead the princesses to victory and now she is expected at this royal celebration.

''They don't need us there.'' Mumbles Adora as she starts to lay her head back on her pillow. Before her head hits the pillow I grab her with my tail. I force her back into a sitting position and she lets out a loud groan.

''no need to be like that sweetheart, it's just I think She-Ra should be at the celebration in her honor!" I say as I tug on her arm. I finally get her out of bed but it is only a start. I push her over to our bathroom mirror and put a comb in her hand. She puts the comb back in my hand and steps away from the mirror. She picks up the sword of power and holds it in the air. "For the honor of Grayskull!'' and with those words she is transformed into She-Ra.

''there, now I look presentable.'' Says She-Ra as she sits down on our bed.

''yeah but don't you think maybe you could put on that new dress? Perfuma worked on it for ages!" I say as I point at the closet.

''okay, and you're bow tie is crooked.'' She-Ra changes back into Adora as she walks over to the closet. She slides it open and pulls out a beautiful red dress. Adora slides off her sleep shirt and smiles at me when she sees me looking.

''can't help but admire the view.'' I say with a smirk.

''yeah well wait until you see this dress on me!" says Adora before she walks into the bathroom. While she is in there I try my best to fix this damn tie but it is to no avail. Adora walks out and sees me struggling which causes her to laugh. When I look up I'm stunned by her beauty.

''that dress…damn.'' Is all I can say as Adora spins around.

''so you like it?"

''it's breath taking. Now could you help me with this stupid tie? It is causing me lots of trouble.''

''of course dear.'' Says Adora as she walks over to me. in a few seconds she has the tie properly made around my neck. ''it's hard to believe that last time you wore this tie we were enemies.''

''so much has happened in the past few years, I mean who would have thought the next time I would wear it would be at a celebration of the fall of the Horde!"

''time really has flown.'' Says Adora as a frown reaches her face. I take hold of her hand and she smiles at me. ''let's not dwell on the past! It is party time!"

''hell yeah!'' I say as we walk out the front door. Entrapta and Perfuma are waiting for us. They are standing on a skiff that Entrapta designed. With her on the rebellions side Plumeria and all other kingdoms were able to modernize their technology.

''Hey guys, ready to party!" yells Entrapta as she throws her hair in the air. Her words sound forced and it is easy to tell she doesn't want to go to this just like Adora.

''Entrapta, you don't have to pretend to be happy.'' Says Adora as both of us step onto the skiff.

''no! I must be excited, I'm a guest of honor like the rest of you.'' Says Entrapta as we drive towards Salineas.

''it will be nice to see Mermista again.'' Says Perfuma in an attempt to make Adora and Entrapta a little more enthusiastic.

''yeah I guess, I'm just worried about seeing the other princesses. The ones that were more angry when we left.'' Says Adora as she leans on the railing of the skiff.

''yeah well you saved them and everyone else in Etheria.'' I say as I wrap my arm around her. '' I think they have to forgive you.''

''yeah well that doesn't mean I have to look forward to seeing Glimmer again.''

''Adora, it's going to be okay. We do this and then we can travel the world.'' As I finish talking we reach the border between Salineas and open territory. The skiff flies right over the water and quickly zooms past several ships.

''my Entrapta this vehicle is very fast.'' Says Perfuma as she looks at the waves behind us.

''and it is completely green energy too!" says Entrapta ''through trial and error I found a way to power these with power from the Runestone.'' Entrapta steers the skiff up to the gate to Salineas, the gate is still undergoing repairs from the war with Hordak. We fly through and park by the castle. There are hundreds of people walking into Salineas and when we land they all cheer.

''geez, this is not what I had in mind.'' Says Adora as her face turns red.

''well like I said you saved the world.''

''yeah but I didn't want to, I just wanted to be free with you.'' Says Adora as she takes my hand. I smile at her and we walk into the castle. Seahawk and Mermista greet us at the door.

''hey Adora, glad you could make It.'' says Mermista without looking up.

''yes! It is great to see you again after the fall of the Horde!" says Seahawk with too much energy. "With the Horde gone now there is more time for ADVENTURE!''

''so like come inside, the ceremony is in an hour.''

''okay Mermista, thanks.'' Says Adora, the four of us walk inside and Perfuma and Entrapta quickly leave the two of us for the bar.

''you want to grab a drink with them?" I ask as Adora watches them go.

''no, I think maybe I should stay as sober as possible. I'm supposed to receive some high honor and I probably shouldn't be drunk.'' Says Adora

''yeah last time you were drunk you went a little crazy.'' I say as I think back to last month. Let's just say She-Ra drunk is not fun for anymore.

''hey how was I supposed to know She-Ra's lasers were affected by alcohol. ''

''well you want to hit the dance floor? I mean I enjoyed the last time we danced.''

''last time we danced you were trying to distract me so you could kidnap my old friends.''

''well I would say it worked. You were quite distracted.'' I say as I hold out my hand. Adora smirks at me but takes my hand. In a few seconds the two of us are slow dancing in the middle of the dance floor. Adora smiles at me and I smile back. She rests her head against my shoulder and I slowly stroke her hair.
"I love you Catra."

''I love you too.'' We continue to dance like that for a few more minutes. When a more jazzy song starts to play Adora lets go of me.

''I'm not feeling jazz come on let's see if we can find someone we know.'' Says Adora as we start to walk off the dance floor. At the front door I spot Kyle and Bow entering. I wave them over and they walk up to us.

''hi Adora, hi Catra. I see you are rocking that tux again.'' Says Bow. Kyle and him got married a year back which was just the nicest thing. That was the last time we'd seen Glimmer. She didn't speak to either Adora or I but it sure was awkward.

''did you expect me to be in a dress?" I ask as I put my hands on my hips

''of course not.''

''Kyle are you going to dance?" asks Adora as a smile reaches her face.

''D-dance?" stutters Kyle. ''I don't think I can.''

''ah come on hon!" says Bow as he starts to dance "yo they are playing jazz!"

''you have to at least try.'' Says Adora as she pushes Kyle towards the dance floor. Bow takes his hand and a red faced Kyle is dragged away.

''we've doomed him…..you know that.''

''oh he'll be fine, oh look there's Frosta!" says Adora as she runs over to Frosta and her posse of guards. The guards block Adora's path until Frosta nods her head.

''hello you two, long time no see.'' Says Frosta as she glares at us.

''Hi Frosta how have you been?" asks Adora, I stand behind her because this kid seems a little angry with us.

''well my castle was nearly destroyed and The Horde took half of my territory.'' Says Frosta as she crosses her arm.

''well….The Horde has been disbanded so everything is fine now.''

''oh yeah everything is fine. I just have to reestablish my territory and rebuild my kingdom!'' says Frosta as she rolls her eyes. ''not everything is that cut and dry.''

''come on kid lay off Adora, she saved all of Etheria!" I say as I cross my arms. Adora looks at me and shakes her head.

''I'm so sorry Frosta! Catra didn't mean it.'' pleads Adora as she gets on her knees, Frosta glares at her then glares at me. The moment is extremely tense until Frosta starts laughing.

''Adora stand up! I'm only messing with you. Thank you for freeing Etheria and helping the princess alliance, I know that Bright Moon did bad things to you and I know you didn't have to help. It was rough for my kingdom but because of you we survived.''

''oh well, okay then.'' Says Adora as she stands up.

''Adora we need to go it's almost time for the ceremony.'' I say as I look at the crowd gathering. ''we need to go speak with Queen Angella.'' Adora lets out a sigh before waving goodbye to Frosta. We walk towards Mermista and the other officials. Queen Angella sees us and frowns as we walk over.

''hello Adora…..Catra.'' says Angella as she holds out her hand. I shake it but Adora just crosses her arms.

''can we get this over with? I've got half of Etheria to explore.'' Says Adora with a frown

''okay, I will give a speech and once I finish She-Ra will need to speak.''

''who else will be up there with us?" asks Adora

''All the princesses will be there, it will be a show of unity in the princess alliance.'' Says Angella ''including my daughter.''

''okay, I want Catra up there too. She did just as much as me in taking down the Horde.''

''absolutely not! We just defeated The Horde, no one is going to want to see a Horde soldier!"

''I was a Horde soldier! Catra changed just like I did and she deserves a spot up there like everyone else that helped. Catra fought by my side and did just as much damage to the Horde!"

''Adora it's fine…..i didn't even really want to.'' I say as I hang my head low. My tail droops under my legs and Adora notices my sadness.

''If she doesn't go I don't.''

''why must everything with you be so…..challenging?'' asks Angella before she rolls her eyes. ''fine, she will be recognized with everyone else. Now if you will excuse me I have a speech to give.'' Angella walks towards the stage and Adora follows her. Adora motions for me to follow her and I walk to the side with her. Angella steps out and everyone in the crowd cheers for her.

''I hate this.'' says Adora as she crosses her arms. ''she doesn't deserve the praise she is getting.''

''it's okay Adora, she is the Queen of Bright Moon.'' I say as I put my hand on her shoulder ''the people are just tired, they need a good leader. And although I hate her, she is a good leader.''

''that doesn't make me feel better.'' Says Adora as she pouts. As she speaks the other princesses all walk over to us backstage.

''hey you two.'' Says Entrapta, she is kind of leaning on Perfuma as they walk over.

''Is she drunk?'' I ask as I point at Entrapta

''she had one glass of red wine! One glass!'' says Perfuma as she desperately tries to get Entrapta back to normal.

''it was a slight miss calculation.'' Mumbles Entrapta.

''it's fine just keep her in the back.'' Says Adora, as she talks Glimmer walks over to the other princesses. She makes eye contact with Adora before looking down at the floor.

''so do we just walk up there and smile?'' asks Frosta ''I don't love public speaking.''

''yeah go out look pretty and Adora will do the talking.'' I say to the princesses.

''AND here are the princesses!'' yells Angella as she motions to us.

''show time.'' Says Mermista as she leads the other princesses out. They all walk out and wave at the cheering crowd, I hesitate for a second but Adora takes hold of my hand.

''it's okay.'''

''if you say so.'' We walk out onto the stage holding hands, I look out at the crowd and see a few people gasp when they see me. But to my surprise most of the people continue to cheer even for me.

''And here we have Adora, the carrier of the Sword of Protection!'' says Angella as we stop next to her. ''One month ago Adora in the form of She-Ra lead the princesses of power in a fight against the Horde, where they sucesfully destroyed the Horde's main army. Now why don't we see the women of the hour?'' as Angella finishes speaking she motions for Adora to turn into She-Ra. Adora holds the sword up. ''For the honor of Grayskull!'' as she turns into She-Ra the crowd goes wild. They all cheer and shout which causes Adora to smile.

''People of Etheria! With the help of the Princesses you see in front of you, we were able to drive Hordak's forces out of all the different territories. His main armies have been utterly destroyed and he has retreated out of Etheria.'' Adora pauses to let the crowd cheer before continuing. ''through unity and coalition we were able to defeat our biggest enemy, but I think Hordak will be back. And when he comes back we need to be ready! We must stay unified for when he returns. While he is gone we need to repair and begin to prepare for his return.'' Adora lowers the sword and turns back into Adora ''there is one more thing, I would have never been able to beat the Horde without the princesses but there was another that helped me. Catra here.'' She pushes me forward and my face turns red.

''A-adora.'' I whisper to her, she just smiles at me before continuing.

''She was a Horde soldier just like me, but she defected and joined the Rebellion. She was by my side throughout the war and she deserves just as much praise as anyone else.'' The crowd looks confused but they actually start to cheer for me. My ears perk up at the loud noise and a smile reaches my face. These people are thanking me, cheering for me! I turn to Adora and plant a kiss on her cheek. Queen Angella walks back to the front and quiets the crowd.

''As She-Ra said we need to prepare but for now let us celebrate!" the crowd cheers again and all the princesses walk off the stage. We head back to the large ballroom where most the people are.

''so what do we do now?'' asks Frosta

''we do what Queen Angella said, we party!" shouts Perfuma before she runs onto the dance floor. A still tipsy Entrapta quickly follows Perfuma.

''hmm good luck dancing with that.'' I say with a smirk. ''So Adora what do you want to do now?''

''Now? let's get the hell out of here.'' Says Adora as she wraps her arm around my neck.

''shouldn't we stay for the after party?''

''nah, Angella wants us to so I say we head home. it's been years and we still haven't seen the world.'' Says Adora before she plants a kiss on my cheek. ''why don't we finally explore the world.''

''I wanted to conquer it too.'' I mumble.

''yeah well we can't go around conquering people.'' Says Adora as she pokes my shoulder ''that kind of ruins the character I've made with She-Ra.''

''I know I know, do you want to say goodbye to everyone?''

''of course.'' Says Adora before we walk onto the dance floor. Perfuma and Entrapta are doing a surprisingly good job dancing. They see us and pause there movement.

''hey ladies, we just wanted to say bye.'' Says Adora as they walk over.

''leaving already? Hmm I would want to as well if I was you.'' Says Perfuma as she nods her head.

''you two can take the skiff, I can make another one with what I have here.'' Says Entrapta

''are you sure, in your state?'' I ask as I look at her.

''it wasn't just fizzy beverages I drank while I worked.'' Says Entrapta with a smile.

''ok well we'll see you when you get back to Plumeria.'' Says Adora before we continue towards the exit. Entrapta and Perfuma wave as we walk off. We wave back and while I'm waving I bump into Mermista.

''oh hey there…..Mermista.'' I say as I rub the back of my head, even though it's been years I still feel bad for attacking her and Salineas.

''hi there Catra, not going to lie. I like this version of you a whole lot better.'' Says Mermista as she puts her hand on her hips. ''like you are a lot more chill now a days.''

''Yeah!'' shouts Seahawk as he runs over ''I don't need to steer flaming boats into this Catra!''

''yeah, sorry about all that fighting.'' I say as I look at the floor

''Hey you gave me a pretty dope scar.'' Says Mermista as she turns and points at her back. There is a claw mark from when I kicked her.

''oh yeah uhh…sorry about that.''

''it's whatever.'' Says Mermista as she rolls her eyes. ''so are you two like leaving?'

''Yeah we are heading back to Plumeria.'' Says Adora ''after that I think we will do some traveling, see the world you know?''

''ADVENTURE!" shouts Seahawk ''that's what I want to hear!"

''so where do you think you'll go?'' asks Mermista ''n-not that I care.''

''I definitely want to go see Alwyn!" says Adora as her eyes light up. ''I've heard great things about those forests.''

''well don't stay gone too long.'' Says Mermista ''w-we might need She-Ra.''

''of course, Swiftwind is taking us. If we see a distress signal or get any calls about an attack we will immediately come back.''

''well you two have fun out there, be carful but go on lots of adventures!" says Seahawk

''we'll try.'' Says Adora before the couple walks off.

''Every time I talk with Seahawk I'm more and more confused.'' I say as I watch Seahawk walk away.

''yeah he is a character, hey there is Kyle and Bow!'' says Adora before she pulls me towards them.

''Adora you sounded great up there!" says Bow as Adora pulls him into a hug. While they hug Kyle awkwardly waves at me.

''hi Catra.''

''hey Kyle how was the dancing?'

''oh don't bring that up please.'' Says Kyle as he shuffles his feet. ''it was so embarrassing.''

''I wish I had seen it.'' I say as I playfully punch his arm.

''so are you and Catra off then?'' asks Bow as Adora lets go of him.

''yeah we're off to see the world. With Hordak handled for now this is the best time for it.'' says Adora as she puts her hands on her hips.

''if you get married out there don't forget to invite us!'' says Bow with a smirk

''w-what! We…come on Bow!'' I shout as my face gets red.

''yeah, I need time to get a better tux.'' Says Kyle as he pulls on his pants ''these are just, something else.''

''we aren't going to be gone that long, but we will send invites.'' Says Adora as she smiles at me.

''Before you go…Glimmer would love to talk to you.'' Says Bow, Adora's face immediately turns sour as he speaks. ''I know you hate her but she just wants to talk for a second.''

''Bow…i…..

''just for a second Adora.'' Says Bow as he waves at someone behind us. I turn and see a nervous Glimmer walking over. in these past two years her wings have grown into about half of what her mothers are, if I didn't hate her I would complement her.

''Hi Adora. Hi Catra.'' Says Glimmer when she reaches us.

''come on Kyle let's give them space.'' Kyle and Bow walk off leaving us awkwardly standing there.

''y-you did a good job speaking today.''

''thanks Glimmer.'' says Adora with malice in her voice. ''what do you want?''

''i…I just wanted to apologize to you, and to Catra.'' Says Glimmer as she looks at me. ''I was a stupid kid, I messed up so bad. My jealousy for your relationship lead me to do horrible things. I don't expect your forgiveness but I just wanted you to know how sorry I am.''

''I'm sorry Glimmer, I can't forgive you.'' Says Adora as she frowns at the floor.

''I know I don't deserve it. I also wanted to thank you. You fought the Horde and saved us even after all the stupid things my mother and I did to you.''

''Thanks, come on Catra.'' Says Adora as she takes my hand. Glimmer looks into my eyes and I can see the sadness and regret in her eyes.

''I forgive you.''

''Catra? You forgive her?'' says Adora as she looks at me.

''I forgive you Glimmer, I know what it is like to make horrible mistakes.'' I say as I put my hand on her shoulder ''I know what it is like to be hated by someone you hold dear.'' Glimmer's eyes tear up before she throws herself into my arms.

''t-thank you.'' Stutters Glimmer as she lets me go

''you know I'm not a hugger.'' I say with a smirk. ''Come on Adora.'' I take Adora's hand again and we leave the ballroom.

''Do you really want to get married?'' I ask as we walk outside. Without responding Adora plants a kiss on my cheek.

''Come on, let's see what happens.''
