Chapter Text
The sound of a sprinkler and birds chirping are in the background.
“What’s up, it’s ya girl Glimmer Moon! We are at- Hordak! The lens cover is still on, what the fuck dude? This shit has to be fucking on point for Adora!” Glimmer's shrill voice gets closer to the camera.
There is a clear shot of the front of a suburban house, Glimmer stumbles in front of the camera. She is wearing a purple shirt with ‘Boss Bitch’ in pink across the front. She straightens up then looks into the camera.
“What’s up dickheads, it’s ya girl Glimmer Moon! We are at Adora Gray’s house! It’s everyone’s favorite horse girl. Or should I say woman! Bitch is eighteen today. And I am going to throw her the most bangin’ birthday party, one that will go down in history! We are going to record the whole day, we are calling this Project GAL.”Glimmer says with a wide grin.
“What is that an acronym for?” Hordak asks off camera.
Glimmer snickers and turns on the spot and heads to the gate kicking it open, motioning the camera to follow her. “Come on let's go find the birthday girl~”
They walk up the walkway to a two story house, Glimmer swings the door open and walks into the kitchen, opening the fridge, sticking her finger in the birthday cake in there and sucking her finger clean.
“Mmm, birthday cake.This is going to be the best night ever, I’m gonna covered in-”
“Covered in what?” A voice from behind the fridges door says. Glimmer slams the fridge door shut.
“Mrs. Gray! Looking amazing as always!” Glimmer plasters a fake smile on her face, glancing at the camera. “Adora said you would be gone already…”
“What is this?” Mrs. Gray points to the camera.
“Hordak is a person, Mrs. Gray.” Glimmer says.
“I- no I mean why does he have a camera?” Mrs. Gray’s face is red with annoyance.
“Oh, documentation of the day your spawn turns eighteen.” Glimmer shifts her eyes from the camera to Mrs. Gray a few times. “Where is Adora?”
“She is in the shower.” Mrs. Gray moves aside for them to walk by.
“Thanks…”
Once they are down the hall and out of ear shot Glimmer cups her hand to her mouth to whisper to the camera. “Adora’s mom is so fucking hot, I wish I could take her to-” Glimmer is cut off by a door opening. “Oh hey Mr. Gray! How is the… drawing of buildings going?” Glimmer smiles at him.
“Oh for fucks sake.” Mr. Gray mumbles under his breath. “Miss Moon, what are you doing at my home?”
“Uh, came to say happy birthday to Adora?” Glimmer pouts.
“Whatever…” Mr. Gray goes back into his office.
“Did I mention that her dad is hot as fuck to? This family I swear. Just a bunch of hottie totties.” Glimmer reaches Adora’s room and opens the door slowly, putting a finger up to her lips to shush Hordak. She moves quietly to the bathroom, going to the sink and taking a toothbrush and brushing the bristles onto a bar of soap and placing it back into its place. She then walks over to the curtain of the shower where Adora is humming a song to herself. Glimmer starts hitting the curtain yelling. Adora shrieks swearing at Glimmer.
“What the fuck dude!”
“Whatever hurry up, we have to get shit ready for today, stop flicking your bean.”
“I was flicking it to your mom.”
“Ugh, ew.”
“Didn’t you say both of Adora’s parents are hot?” Hordak asks.
“Shut the fuck up.”
“Who the fuck is that Glimmer?!” Adora’s panicked voice shrills.
“It’s Hordak from the AV club, Entrapta knows him and told me he is good at this shit. Editing and shooting stuff I dunno.”
“GLIMMER I’M NAKED!”
“Turn the camera off,” Glimmer reaches for the camera and it cuts out.
Adora wraps her hair into a towel after she gets dressed, she grabs her toothbrush and puts toothpaste on it then goes to brush her teeth. The taste of something bitter hits her taste buds making her gag and spit it out.
“Fuck you Glimmer.” Glimmer is laying on her stomach on Adora’s bed leaning her chin on her elbows swinging her feet in the air snickering. “What the fuck is all this?” Adora waves her hand around in Hordak’s direction then goes back to cleaning off her toothbrush so she can actually brush her teeth.
“We are documenting the best party in the century! Project GAL!” Glimmer says rolling off the bed to walk over to Adora.
“Wha dows da saan foo?” Adora says around brushing her teeth.
Glimmer’s phone chimes, ignoring Adora’s question she scrolls through her phone. “Korra and Vi have secured their fake ID’s to get the booze! Yes! Alright hurry up, we need to get to school to advertise for your party!” Glimmer says walking out of the room typing furiously on her phone.
Adora finishes getting ready, she pulls her hair into her signature ponytail with a hair poof, then reaches for her letterman jacket and turns to see Glimmer looking at her with an annoyed face.
“What now?” Adroa says, sighing.
“Really? I wish you wore something else besides red chucks, jeans a white compression turtle neck and that fucking jacket.” Glimmer says, rolling her eyes while taking a deep breath through her nose.
“It’s comfy…”
“It’s so bland…”
“I don’t care?”
“Promise for the party you will change?” Glimmer pouts and does puppy dog eyes.
“No…”
“Please?”
“No.”
“I’ll give Swiftwind his baths for a month.”
“Deal.”
“Yes!”
They head downstairs to the kitchen, Adora’s parents are cleaning off dishes from breakfast and putting them in the dishwasher.
“Now, we are leaving fifty dollars for pizza for tonight, there is a bottle of prosecco in the fridge. One glass each.” he puts one finger up. “My office is off limits, what did I say?”
“Office is off limits… Got it.” Adora nods.
“Remember to water my plants dear.” Mrs. Gray says. “I have the watering schedule on the fridge, even colour coded.” She smiles walking up to Adora. “Have fun honey, and have a good time. You deserve it.” She hugs Adora and kisses her cheek as she pulls away. Glimmer goes in to give her a hug and kiss too but Mrs. Gray dodges her and walks down the hall to the front door to grab their luggage. She glares at Glimmer. “Don’t let Glimmer talk you into anything stupid.” Glimmer scoffs then says something along the lines of didn’t know I had a degrading kink… Adora shakes that fucking thought out of her mind.
“Don’t worry it’s just going to be us, Korra, Vi, Catra and maybe a couple other people.” Adora says already, sweating and smiling too wide and not at all looking like she is telling the truth. But her mother doesn’t notice because she zeros in on one thing Adora says.
“Ooooh, Catra is coming” Her mother smirks at her. “I really like her, you should finally make a mo-”
“Bye mom, have a good trip!” Adora grabs her father's arm and pushes him towards the door. “Please get her out of the house.” Adora pleads, blushing. Her father just chuckles.
“Sure thing. Oh, one more thing!” he reaches into his pocket and pulls out keys and puts them into Adora’s hand.
“You are giving me the keys to the van?” Adora is smiling wide.
“Yes, but don’t get any crazy ideas. When I get back it better be as clean as a whistle.”
“Oh my god… Fuck yes!” Adora clasps her hand on to her mouth, “Sorry, I’m just excited.”
“It’s fine honey.” He chuckles then his face goes stern. “But don’t even think about driving the Mercedes, are we clear?
“Crystal, no Mercedes and no office.” Adora salutes her dad, he smiles patting her on her shoulder.
“You are a good kid, I trust you will be good.” he looks over Adora’s shoulder at Glimmer and glares. “This house better be intact when we return. Also I left instructions for the alarm system, and do not touch anything that controls the temperature.”
“Yeah, sure. Love you both, byeeeeee” and with that both her parents are out the door in a cab and on their way to the airport.
The camera panes to Adora looking out the window watching her parents leaving. Once they are out of sight she spins around facing Glimmer with a wide grin on her face.
“They are gone, I’m home alone!” Adora starts running in place, “Glim, holy shit I’m home alone!”
“Bitch let's get this birthday day started!” Glimmer shouts and starts to twerk to no music.
Adora starts doing the Carlton, Glimmer does the splits still twerking. Adora moonwalks out of the living room towards the garage.
“Come on lets get to school fuckers!” Adora says slamming into the door, she makes eye contact with the camera. “I meant to do that.” blushing she opens the door.
It cuts to the camera doing montages of the garage door opening, with Adora and Glimmer in the front of the van with sunglasses on doing different poses. Adora drives the van out of the garage music blasting out of the shaky speakers. She pulls up to the camera and waves, Hordak tries to open the van door to get in the back.
“Uh, it won’t open.” He says turning the camera to Adora. She is saying something to him while pointing to the door, he can’t hear her because she is muffled by the window. “What? Roll down your window.”
Adora rolls down her window. “You have to press the button on the handle while you pull.”
“I did that…”
“Do it again.”
He tries again, it doesn’t work.
“For fuck sakes-” Adora gets out of the van, but forgets to put it in park and it starts rolling. Glimmer is screaming as Adora runs to jump in the van and put it in park. She hops out and straightens herself out and walks over to Hordak. “Edit that out, yeah?”
It cuts to them in the van on their way to school. Glimmer is singing off key and loudly to the music blasting in the van. Adora turns to Glimmer.
“I don’t know how I feel about tonight.” She turns back to the road. “I don’t-”
“Oh my gooooood!” Glimmer groans.
“What?”
“You’re bitching out.”
“No I’m not! I just have some concerns.”
“Totally bitching out. You do this every single time.” Glimmer faces the camera, “She does this every time we want to go to a party, and she always bitches out like the little bitch that she is-”
Adora slams on the brakes causing Glimmer to hit her head on the headrest.
“Ouch you fucking-”
“I’m not bitching out, I’m just saying we should keep it small. Like twenty people.”
“Twent- no, are you serious?”
“Fine thirty tops.”
Glimmer just stares at Adora unamused.
“Fine fifty tops, I’m taking the risk here. My mom and dad are going to kill me if my house is trashed.”
“Fair, but it is going to be the best party of the century.”
They pull into the school parking lot, park and head to the front of the school, where two people standing close together watching a video on a phone, skateboards under their arms.
“Hey fuck wads guess who is here!” Glimmer says grabbing onto their shoulders to pull them apart to see what they are watching. The camera moves around to show their faces.
“It’s from Mermista and Sean’s party last weekend.” The pink haired girl says.
“Dude, there is no way we are going to out do them tonight.” The brunette says.
“Oh, we are. Because I’m planning it. I got this guys, just tell everyone you know to come to the party tonight.” Glimmer looks up at the camera.
“This, “ Glimmer shakes the pink haired girl's shoulder. “is Vi, and this is Korra.” She shakes the shoulder of the Brunette.
“What the fuck is this?” Vi nods towards the camera.
“It’s documentation that Adora is not always a dork, and of the best party that ever existed.” Glimmer says, patting their shoulders, she reaches into her backpack and pulls out flyers. Giving each girl a stack of flyers by shoving them at their chest.
“Pass these around. To literally everyone. Got it?”
They look at each other and smile nodding. At the same time they look back at Glimmer and say at the same time. “Got it!”
“Where is Adora?” Glimmer looks around.
“Probably flirting with Catra.” Korra snorts.
“Yeah, when the fuck are they going to stop dancing around eachother? They need to just go for it.” Vi says.
“For real.” Korra grabs onto Vi’s arm. “Dude, what if it happens tonight? Could you imagine!”
“Hey, Adora. You look so good in that old over worn jacket.” Vi is trying to do her most accurate Catra impersonation.
“Hi, Catra. I’m gonna blush and stutter around you and make it so obvious I’m in love with you.” Korra tries to do an Adora impersonation.
“Oh, Adora come here, I can’t resist myself!” Vi grabs onto Korra and pulls one of her legs around her waist and pretends to dry hump Korra.
“Oh, Catra!”
“Oh, Adora!”
They continue to do that for a couple minutes with Glimmer laughing so hard she has tears in her eyes then her eyes go wide.
“Uh, guys.” She nods behind them. The camera moves to show two tall girls walking from the parking lot towards the front doors. Both Vi and Korra stop in their tracks, eyes wide.
“Fuck!”
“Shit!”
Vi shoves Korra off of her, Korra falls back. Korra sits up onto her elbow rubbing the back of her head.
“Good morning, Vi.” The girl with long dark blue hair says smiling as she walks by.
“Hi, Korra.” The girl with the long wavy black hair says, hand over her mouth giggling.
“Uhhhhhhh…” Both Vi and Korra just watch the two girls walk past them, mouths agape.
Glimmer pops in front of the camera. “And that is the textbook definition of disaster gays.” Glimmer chuckles.
The rest of the footage is glimmer handing out flyers to every single person she sees, even the janitor. She walks up to a group of theatre kids. She starts talking to the tall blonde with long acrylic nails.
“Oh, darling.” They flip their hair. “A mario kart party isn’t my scene.”
“This isn’t- there will be music, food and booze.” They raise a perfectly manicured eyebrow at her. “And. And loads of drugs, all the drugs.”
“I’ll think about it. Now leave me, I need to get into character.” They dismiss her.
Glimmer looks over at the camera and does a two thumbs up. Then she looks over the camera and whispers. “Shit…”
“Glimmer Moon, what is the meaning of this?” A tall man with white long hair and bright green eyes is standing in the doorway of an office.
“Principal Prime, extra credit.”
“No recording of school grounds, unless with a permission slip.”
“It’s for a class.”
“Where is the permission slip?”
“I- uh…”
“Turn it off.”
“But-”
There is a hand on the camera lens and some muffled sounds. Then it cuts out.
Adora is running on the track thinking about what she is going to wear for tonight, when someone starts running besides her.
“Hey, Adora.” Catra smiles up at her, they are halfway done with the mile run. And Catra isn’t even remotely out of breath when she says that to Adora.
“Hey, Catra.” Adora huffs out, because she is fucking human.
“How does it feel? Not having the parents home?”
“Gosh, I feel like a grown person. We will see if I can survive the night.”
“Knowing you and your friends, I doubt it.”
“What is that supposed to mean?” Adora frowns.
“Have you seen Glimmer, she has stacks of flyers, she is giving them to everyone. ” Catra picks up the speed a little, and Adora matches her.
“That doesn’t mean everyone will show, plus I don’t care if they show. But I care if you do.” Adora smiles shyly at Catra.
“Oh, I won’t miss my chance to watch your idiot friends give you a birthday beat down.” Catra smirks. “I was wondering if I could invite Asami and Caitlyn?”
“Of course, it starts at nine.”
“Bet, so another question.”
“Hm?”
“Wanna race?” Catra peels off before Adora can answer.
“That’s cheating, Catra!” Adora runs after her.
They are neck and neck until the end when out of nowhere Catra just blasts past Adora, not giving her a chance to catch up. Catra lays down on the grass when she finishes, Adora lays next to her heaving breaths once she reaches her.
“You need to stop cheating.”
“You need to stop being so slow.”
“Whatever.” Adora shoves Catra’s shoulder giggling.
“Hey, Adora.” Adora turns her head to see Catra looking at her, her blue and amber eyes shining bright in the sun.
“Yeah?” Adora blushes, hoping it passes as her being flushed from the run.
“Happy birthday, dork.” Catra gives her the sweetest smile it makes Adora’s insides fucking melt.
“Thanks.” Adora smiles back with a hundred watt smile.
“God, you are annoying.” Catra pushes Adora’s face back.
“It makes me uncomfortable when you call me god.” Adora grins.
“You are so fucking dumb.” Catra sits up onto her elbows, head tilted back basking in the sun, her long curly hair flowing over her shoulders and exposing her neck, and Adora can’t help but think about how the skin there would feel against her lips. Then-
Whack!
A fucking soccer ball hits Adora on the side of the head.
“What the fuck?!” Catra is standing. How did she get up so fast?
“Woah, calm down.” Mako says he is one of the douche soccer players.
“Listen shit for brains, don’t fucking tell me to calm down when you hit my friend in the head with a ball.” Adora stands and puts herself between Catra and Mako, Catra looked like she was about to go for the kill.
“It’s okay, I’m sure it was an accident.” Adora says to Mako.
“Yeah, sure.” he turns walking away with the soccer ball under his arm.
“He didn’t even say sorry, what a fucking prick.” Catra is fuming. “Are you okay?” She grabs onto Adora’s head examining it like it might have a crack on it.
“I’m fine, jeez.”
“The mighty giant forehead saves the day again.”
“It didn’t even hit my forehead, you just wanted to make fun of me.”
“And?”
“Whatever, it's time to head back.”
Camera zooms in on Adora leaning on a locker, hands in her pockets talking to Catra, Adora says something to Catra and she nods, Catra slams her locker shut as Adora takes her hands out of her pockets and straightens to give Catra a hug goodbye, but they linger longer than normal.
“Look at our idiot gay.” Glimmer says eyes glistening.
“Alright are we heading out?” Vi and Korra skateboard into the frame, in the way of the shot of Catra and Adora.
They all start walking toward Adora who is in a trance watching Catra walk away and around the corner.
“Time to get to the store and get supplies.” Glimmer sings, grabbing Adora’s hand and pulling her to the parking lot. Vi and Korra skate next to them.
“Glim, I’m pretty impressed that you were able to not only give out a shit ton of flyers.” Vi says, “But email and text every kid at the school.”
“Not to mention she put it out on all types of socials and DMed every single person by second period.” Korra chuckles. “Glim you are insane.”
“I am a doer. Not let's get you two idiots on your way to get the booze!”
They all get into the van, Hordak is in the trunk of the van recording.
“So, lets see the IDs you guys got.” Glimmer asks.
“For sure!” Korra hands her the ID, “Name is Jo Moama.”
“And mine is. Dez Knutz.” They both laugh their asses off.
“What?! Are you guys fucking serious? There is no fucking way you are going to get away with this!” Glimmer is screeching.
“Woah, Glim I’m trying to drive here.” Adora says calmly, “Also what’s the harm of trying it, if they get caught it’s their fault cause they are dumbasses.”
Vi kicks Adora’s seat. “Mine can be an actual name, Korra’s is stupid.”
Korra shoves Vi. “No, yours is.” They continue their argument by shoving each other back and forth, eventually they end up wrestling.
“Don’t be friends with stoner jocks, there is one brain cell between the three of them, and at the moment I think it has been left at school.” Glimmer says to the camera.
They pull up to Madame Razz’s Liquor and Mead, Adora backs into a spot towards the exit. Both Vi and Korra fix their hair so it’s half up and put blazers on.
“Guys you look so stupid.”
“Guys you look so stupid.” Vi mocks Glimmer.
“Here asshole.” Glimmer throws a wad of bills at Vi. “I want a receipt and change, you hear me?”
“Yes, ma’am!” Korra salutes as she stumbles out of the van.
The two girls get out of the van and meet at the back of it, it looks like they are giving each other pep talks then they do a ridiculous long secret handshake. Standing straight shoulders squared, they head inside the store.
“I swear, if they fuck this up I will kill them.” Glimmer lets out a long sigh. “That was my summer savings.”
“I- what Glim?! Why?!” Adora looks horrified.
“Shush, it’s worth it. This is going to be such a big night for you.” Glimmer grins. “One last hurrah, with my favorite person.” Glimmer’s grin turns into a soft smile.
“Awh! Glimmer!” Adora pulls her into a hug. “God I love your fiery little self. Pint sized best friend!”
Glimmer hugs Adora back, “I love you too, my giant dumbass best friend.”
The camera panes away from them to the back window, zooming into the liquor store, Vi is standing in an aisle with a cart full of liquor. Korra walks up to her with two pairs of goggles in hand, she tosses on to Vi who catches it and has a wide grin on her face saying something nodding. They both head to the counter that is out of view. A few minutes pass and they come out of the store hands full of bags, their muscles straining from the weight. Walking up to the van door, Korra kicks the door yelling for them to open it. Adora presses a button on the top by the rearview mirror and the doors open for them to climb in and get situated.
“Wait, you had a button to open the doors the whole time?” Hordak asks.
“Uh…” Adora ignores him and turns the music up as she pulls out of the parking lot.
They are a couple minutes out when Glimmer turns around hand extended.
“Oh my god Glimmer. Give me time to relax a little. That lady was so stressful for me.” Vi says.
“For you?! She hit me in the head with a BROOM! You just stood there and let it happen!” Korra yells.
“Yeah, so I can get hit? no thanks.” Vi scoffs.
“The receipt and change.” Glimmer demands. Vi digs it out of one of the bags and hands it to Glimmer. Glimmer smooths it out and checks the list. “Why are there two goggles on here-” She goes to glare at Vi when she notices both Vi and Korra have goggles on.
“Aren’t they dope?!” Korra says excitedly.
“I like them, are you guys wearing them to the party?” Adora asks.
“Uh, duh.” Vi says.
“I might.” Korra says.
“You guys owe me.” Glimmer glares turning to face forward. “Anyways, time to get some weed!” Glimmer yells.
They pull up to a trailer with a chain link fence surrounding it with at least ten small rat looking dogs barking at them as they walk up to the gate, they get up to the door and Glimmer does some weird secret knock when a voice comes out of a small speaker in the corner of the doorway.
“Who is it?”
“It’s Moonstone, here for pick up.” Glimmer says pressing on a talk button.
“Moonstone?” Adora whispers.
“Shut the fuck up, and let me do all the talking.” Glimmer hisses.
“Alright, come in. but the camera boy needs to stay out.” The box voice says.
“Bet.” Glimmer says. “Meet us at the van.” She says to the camera.
Adora’s hands are clammy as they walk into the house, it smells like a mixture of cigarette smoke and chemicals with a hint of weed. They walk into the living area where everything is cluttered and the style is great, great grandmother decorated and nothing ever changed. A tall man that has a scar running down from his hairline to the bottom of his jaw walks in, He looks Glimmer in the eye.
“How much?” He grunts.
“Just an eighth, it’s my friend’s birthday. Do you have any birthday discounts?” Glimmer asks.
He looks over the girls. “Which friend?” Adora gulps and raises her hand. “Hm. I’ll give you an extra nug that’s it.” He bends down to look through a cabinet. “I’ll be right back, I need to get more. Here.” He hands Glimmer a joint he was smoking when he walked in. Glimmer grabs it and takes a hit.
“Thanks Lashor.” he grunts then leaves.
“I want a hit!” Korra leans over Vi to do grabby hands at the joint.
“Wait your fucking turn, dick.” Vi knees Korra in the stomach.
“Oof!” Korra leans forward grabbing her stomach. “You’re a dick.” Vi just laughs.
Glimmer hands it to Adora first. Adora shakes her head.
“No thanks, not till we get to the house.” She shakes her keys. “I’m driving.”
“Good point.” Glimmer hands it to Vi and then walks over to a medium sized clay figure of a turtleduck. “Guys look at this fucking thing!” She starts humping it. She stops her movements when she sees a glare of light at the window, she sees Hordak. “We are taking this cute guy, he is gonna be our mascot for the fucking party.” She opens the window and shoves it at Hordak. “Meet us at the van” there are footsteps heading back to the living space, Glimmer runs back to the couch and grabs the joint that was midway to Korra’s lips and takes a huge drag by the time Lashor comes back. Korra is pouting for not getting a chance to hit the joint.
“Here.” He hands her a bag. “Now if that’s it, I’d like to get back to the British baking show.” Glimmer nods at him and grabs onto Adora’s hand and pulls her towards the front door. Once they are in the car Adora starts the van then places her hands on the steering wheel.
“Glimmer, that was stupid. You should return it. What if it was something really important to him, like a family heirloom?”
“Hordak, hand it over.” The turtleduck ends up in Glimmer’s hand. She flips it over and points to a sticker. “Yeah, family heirloom from hobby lobby. It’s fine Adora. Live a little-” Lashor runs out of his house with a bat in hand, he is running towards the van. “You little shits, get back here and give it back!” He looks furious. Adora puts the van into reverse and peels out, the van whipping to the left she straightens it out. Lashor goes to swing at the back window, but Adora stomps on the gas.
“Holy shit! Go Adora Go!” Glimmer is screaming.
“I am trying!” Adora says eyes wide and full of panic. She turns a couple corners looking behind her, she doesn’t see him running anymore. She stops at a stop sign, “Phew that was close-” Lashor is screaming at the top of his lungs as he smashes his bat into the window of Korra’s door making her scream and jump into Vi’s lap.
“GO GO GO GO GO GO!” Korra yells, shaking in Vi’s lap.
Adora stomps on the gas until they are on the freeway on their way to her house. A few moments of silence before Glimmer bursts out laughing.
“Glimmer, it’s not funny. That is some fucking serious shit!” Adora yells.
“Look we are fine, right guys?” Glimmer looks over at her friends in the back who both look a little scared and shocked by what happened.
“Uh…” Vi’s eyes are a little glazed. “I’m gonna need more weed in my system to deal with this.”
“I think I peed a little, not gonna lie.” Korra says, Vi shoves her off her. “Hey, I need to be held. That was scary.” Korra pouts.
“Ask Asami to hold you.” Glimmer smirks at her.
“Shut the fuck up.” Korra crosses her arms looking out the cracked window.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you guys. Catra is going to invite Asami and Caitlyn to the party.” Adora says looking into the rearview mirror smirking. Her and Glimmer high five each other.
“You guys are fucked.” Glimmer chuckles.
“You guys, we need to stop at my house. I need to change!” Korra looks panicked.
“Why?” Vi raises an eyebrow.
“I want to look my best for Adora’s birthday. It’s her big day!” Korra blushes. “Please Adora?!”
“Sure, Vi you can grab some while we pick up Jinx and her friend.” Vi groans.
“Yeah, sure.” Vi has a dust of a blush on her cheeks. “Can I shower when we get to your house Adora?” She mumbles under her breath.
“Of course! You can too, Korra.” Adora smiles.
“Trying to say I stink?”
“Wha- No.” Adora says.
“Yes.” Vi says the same time as Glimmer. They both burst out laughing.
“I don’t know why I am friends with you guys.” Korra frowns.
“Because you love us, and we love your stinky ass.” Glimmer says. “But we need to go to the grocery store and stock up on snacks and mixers.” Adora nods and heads to the closest store.
Vi, Korra and Adora are grabbing random bags of chips off the shelf and throwing them into the cart yelling ‘For Kobe’ while Glimmer is busy typing on her phone, they go down the aisles grabbing random snacks and head to the check out, the cashier looks like she hates her life, they are all shoving and rough housing with each other when Korra stops eyes wide. She hits Vi’s shoulder.
“Isn’t that Mara Serenia?” Korra whispers.
“Holy shit, it is.” Adora says.
At the other register in front of them is Mara Serenia. She had her back towards them.
“The Mara Serenia? Like went to our school and had the best parties, Mara Serenia? Like the one that got a full ride and is now a pretty famous D1 athlete at BMU Mara Serenia?” Glimmer asks.
“Yes.” Adora says in total shock.
“Let’s ask her to come to your party!” Glimmer says. Before Adora can stop her she says very loud. “Hey, Mara!”
Mara turns back confusion on her face. “Uh, hey?”
“You went to our school a couple years back. Republic City high, in Piltover?” Glimmer says with a wide smile on her face.
“Uh, yeah.” She turns back to the cashier to pay.
“So we are having a party later tonight, you should come. And bring some of your friends.” Glimmer says.
“Yeah, uh, it’s my birthday, you should stop by, it’s going to be fucking lit.” Adora doesn’t know what comes over her when she says that, she cringes at herself.
“I’m going to another party tonight,” She grabs her bags. “Maybe next time?”
“Well, if you get bored of that party, mine is at 5373 Arxia street.” Adora looks shocked at herself for saying that.
Mara looks surprised. “That’s your party?” she chuckles “That’s actually the party I was heading to. I heard it was going to be a fucking rager.” She takes her bags and heads to the exit. “I guess I will see you there.”
“For sure. Bye Mara Serenia.” Mara gives Adora a weird face but nods as she leaves.
“That will be seventy three dollars and twenty four cents.” their cashier blows a bubble with her gum.
Glimmer gives her the money and they grab their bags and head to the van jumping up and down all excited.
“Bro I didn’t think you had that in you!” Vi says, grabbing onto Adora’s shoulders shaking them.
“Me either!” Adora sighs.
“This is going to be the fucking raddest shit ever.” Korra says opening the door to the van and throwing the bags in.
“I fucking told you guys, I fucking got this.” Glimmer grins proud of herself.
“I never doubted you, Glim.” Adora says, smiling at her friend.
“Alright let's get to my house so I can grab my good clothes, I now definitely need to look good for this party.” They all get situated and then Adora pulls out of the parking lot and heads to Korra’s house.
They pull up to Korra’s house and she runs in and grabs her stuff to change into, once she is in the van they do the same as they head to Vi’s house. Vi walks up to the van with a bag and two kids in tow.
“Everyone, this is Jinx, my little sister, and her friend Frosta.” she points her thumb over her shoulder. They all climb into the van. Frosta doesn’t say a word to them, and Jinx is busy working on a baton with wires in the handle.
“That’s our security?! They are like ten!” Adora’s eyebrows challenge her hairline.
“I’m eleven and a half!” Frosta says firmly. “Asshole…” she mumbles under her breath, Adora is terrified of this child already.
“I’m twelve.” Jinx says face pointed to her lap but eyes pointed to make eye contact with Adora with a wicked smirk on her face, she is even more terrifying than Frosta.
“My bad…” Adora pulls onto the road and heads to her house.
Once they are at the house they all split up, Adora gets snacks and food ready for the guests, Glimmer is trying to get a hold of their DJ, Korra and Vi go to shower and change into better clothes and the two preteens said they are going to check out the perimeter of the house and take notes of the building and check for good security check points and what not. Adora was setting out the big bags of chips onto the counter when the doorbell rang. Swiftwind ran from outside and slid down the hall he was going so fast. He only ran for one person like that.
Adora opens the door to be met with Catra, she looked so fucking good in her tight black jeans black boots and a maroon button up that showed so much chest Adora had to rip her gaze away quickly. Instead of meeting Catra’s eyes looking back at her, Catra’s eyes were somewhere else. Is she looking at my arms? Adora follows her eyesight. Oh… Well shit. Adora changed right when she got home, Glimmer put her into a black sleeveless turtleneck black jeans with red boots. She gave her a red silky bomber jacket as well but Adora was so nervous she was getting hot. Adora clears her throat and Catra tears her eyes from Adora’s arms to look her in the eye. Then a ball of white fur starts pouncing at Catra.
“Alright, Alright. Sit.” Swiftwind sits wagging his tail so hard his butt is moving, tongue out waiting for pets and love from his second favorite human in the world. Catra bends down and scratches behind his ear and he flops down and she starts petting his belly. “Alright, enough. I think Adora is getting jealous.” Catra stands.
She smirks then stepping forward she lays her hands flat on Adora’s stomach then slides them to her sides then around to her back pulling her into a hug, Adora is sure she is flushed all over her fucking body, she is surprised her clothes didn’t fucking erupt into flames. She wraps her arms around Catra’s shoulders hugging her back, Catra’s mouth is right by Adora’s ear when her raspy voice says.
“Hey, Adora.” Pulling away she pokes Adora on the forehead and pushes past her. “Come on birthday princess. Let me help you set up.” Adora eyes follow Catra until she is gone around the corner to the kitchen.
There is giggling at the top of the staircase, she looks up to see the three idiots watching her from the top of the stairs.
“Fucking simp.” Vi says.
“Fuck you.” Adora heads to the kitchen. She can hear laughter erupt from the top of the staircase.
When she reaches the kitchen Catra is sitting on one of the counters, Adora walks up to her placing a hand on each side of Catra standing in between her legs. Catra blushes, leaning back onto her hands.
“This doesn’t look like you are helping me.” Adora raises an eyebrow smiling.
“Oh, I’m more of a supervising the helpless kind of helper.”
“Oh, you are now?” Adora leans closer to Catra, her hips pressing against Catra’s thighs spreading them further. “You sure it’s not so I cut up the veggie platter and you can sit here and stare at my ass the whole time?” Adora smirks. Catra’s dark skin is flushed, she presses a finely manicured nail to Adora’s forehead, pushing her head back.
“You wish, Gray.” She sits up so their chests are flush together leaning in so she can whisper into Adora’s ear. “We all know it’s the other way around.” She places her hands onto Adora’s ridiculously chiseled shoulders and shoves her back, “Hence, why I am sitting it on a counter.” Catra gives her a devilish smile. Adora clears her throat and says nothing as she goes back to cutting the veggies.
It’s nine thirty and all the alcohol and snacks are out, everyone is ready and sitting in the game room except for Korra, playing Mario Kart, Catra is kicking everyone’s asses. Well, Adora wouldn’t be losing so bad If Catra wasn’t leaning forward and her cleavage wasn’t threatening Adora with a heart attack, and also the fact Catra was sitting so close to her. Catra whoops for her victory again, and stands heading to the kitchen, she turns her head over her shoulder.
“Do you want a mixed drink birthday princess?” Catra asks.
“Uh… Yeah, please. Thanks.” She says watching Catra walk.
“Fucking dork.” Catra snorts. And Adora just smiles to herself. Then a pillow flies at her face. “Yo, what the fuck?” Adora says, looking in Vi’s direction.
“You guys need to get a fucking room, fucking gross.” Vi says fake gagging.
“GUYS! I PRESENT TO YOU!” Korra slides into the gaming room in a dark blue suit with a light blue button up. “THE SHARPEST MOTHA FUCKA AT THIS PARTY!” She does a twirl and ends it on the tips of the toes of her sneakers.
“Oh, god…” Glimmer says. Vi is clamping her hand onto her mouth like a vice grip. Catra walks in not paying any attention to Korra sitting next to Adora handing her the drink she made.
“You look dapper, Korra.” Adora smiles at her friend. “Do you want some cufflinks?” Adora stands walking toward Korra.
“For real dude?” Korra pouts eyes wide.
“Yeah, come on, I'll show you my collection.” Adora grabs her hand and pulls her upstairs and shows her the collection. Korra picks out a pair that have a cool water design on them.
“You can have those, by the way.” Adora pats Korra on the shoulder when she is done helping her put them on.
“What? No way dude, it’s your birthday. I’m supposed to give you something.” Korra argues.
“Nah, it’s okay. I don’t have anything to match them, plus I thought you when I got them. So shut the fuck up and take them, plus need you looking sharp for Asami.” Adora smirks at Korra. Korra shoves her.
“Thanks dude, for real.” Korra hugs Adora and then runs out the room and down the stairs to show everyone. Adora heads back to her spot on the couch next to Catra.
“What if no one shows up?” Adora worriedly asks no one in particular. “It’s almost ten. And no one is here…” Adora fidgets with the seam of her pants.
“They’ll come, it’s a party.” Catra places a hand on her thigh, “No one comes to a party early, you would know if you went to any.”
“You came here early.” Catra blushes.
“Someone had to make sure you didn’t spiral.” Catra says with a soft smile.
Music starts booming in the backyard, they all look over out the window.
“Is that Entrapta?” Catra asked.
“Yes, finally. I was worried I’d have to use a spotify playlist for the party.” Glimmer walks in from the back door. “Alright, everyone remember. Have fun, get fucked up. And get fucked if that is your thing. But remember consent! And let security know of any shady shit.” Glimmer says typing on her phone. Frosta and Jinx walk up to her in yellow jackets with security printed across it.
“Everything is set up and ready, we will be posted out front at first, do you have the list of no entries?” Frosta asks.
“Yes, I just sent it to you guys. You see that fucker kick him and his goons out.” There is the sound of cars pulling up and car doors slamming shut. “Seems like they are here. ALRIGHT EVERYONE TO THEIR POSITIONS!” Glimmer starts running around, “PROJECT GAL IN AFFECT!”
Adora gets up and heads over to the front door and opens it to a horde of people walking up the steps with booze in hand, Catra at her side she looks up at Adora with a wide smile plastered on her face. “You ready, Birthday Princess?”
“As ready as I will ever be.” She opens the door wide and steps aside as people start to file into the house, they all greet her like they knew her and are old friends. Adora stands there smiling to herself ready for tonight and whatever it brings.
