[ Voice muffled, with her face still buried in her hands-- ]

How did I manage to completely forget that Adora is an idiot...

[sparklequeen]

Uh, probably because you love her? Also because sometimes she's not an idiot, about like, giving other people advice about people they like. Or about planning stuff.

[ Snort. ]

She made a whole plan of attack for Princess Prom.

[purrsistence]

[ Catra looks up and gives a snort at that, grinning. ]

Yeah, a plan that I managed to anticipate before you guys had even gotten there.

[sparklequeen]

We didn't know you were coming. This was just her plan to like, go to the party and not mess up saying hello to Princess Frosta.

[ Glimmer rolls her eyes. ]

And I was just, completely losing my mind because Bow went as Perfuma's plus one and I was stupid jealous because I thought I was about to lose my best friend, so I was just useless...

[purrsistence]

Pfft. Yeah, I gotta admit, I didn't see that one coming.

Like either of you could ever be separated. Aren't you like attached at the hip or something?

[sparklequeen]

He's been my best friend since I was kid. He was my only friend for a long time, too. Until I met Adora, actually.

[ She'd thought it might be weird to be open about this with Catra, but it feels strangely simple. ]

I did some stuff that hurt him and he's not here, so I don't know when I'll be able to make it up to him.

[ She sighs, leans her head forward again. Her voice is muffled by her arms. ]

And I'm kind of in love with him which makes that part even worse.

[purrsistence]

... Yeah.

[ For a minute, it seems like that's all she's going to say. Just an acknowledgment. Then-- ]

... Sometimes you can't. Make it up, I mean.

[sparklequeen]

[ Glimmer's knees draw up towards her chest, then her head drops forward onto them. She's quiet for a moment in return. ]

Yeah. I know.

[ She doesn't know what else to say because the thought of Bow never forgiving her makes her heart want to drop into her stomach and stay there forever. ]

I just have to tell him I'm sorry and then... give him the space he needs, I guess.
