Princess Glimmer and the Day of Many Choices: The princess alliance (15/?)
"Are you completely out of your mind?" Perfuma cried.
"In my defence..." Glimmer begun.
"You cant consort with Catra!" Perfuma cried. "She's the enemy!"
"Um, excuse me..." Scorpia timidly said.
"Not now, honey," Perfuma said with kind voice and turned to Glimmer again. "I can't belive you resort to such recless behaviour."
"Yeah, way to be reckless," Frosta echoed with the obnoxious voice of a true teenager.
"Whatever," Mermista said in order to contribute to the conversation.
"Listen here..." Despara said with hard voice, but Catra put a hand on her shoulder.
"No, no, I want to see how Sparkles weasles herself out of this one," she said tail swishing.
"Thanks a ton, brat-cat," Glimmer muttered and turned her attention back to her fellow princesses. "It get why you're angry, but..."
"But it's your call and the rest of us simply have to accept it," Netossa said with sharp voice. Glimmer gave her a guilty look.
"I didn't mean it like..."
"Glimmer," Spinnerella said with strained voice. "The princess alliance is an alliance. That means that we're all part of the decision making process."
"I know that," Glimmer said, "but..."
"Like the decision to open the heart of Etheria," Despara said with hard voice.
There was a short paus with everyone guiltily avoiding to look at one another.
"Well..." Perfuma said.
"I guess...." Frosta said.
"Whatever," Mermista said.
"Um, excuse me," Scorpia said. "I need to..."
"Just a moment," Glimmer said. She looked at Spinnerella. "Yes, exactly like that decision. I led you down a dark path, yes, but you all followed me. Only Adora and Bow refused."
"And Swift Wind!" Swift Wind yelled.
"DID SOMEONE SAY SWIFT WIND?" Bow and Sea Hawk shouted in replay.
"And I think Entrapta would want me to add Darla as well," Bow generously said.
"Speaking of Entrapta..." Scorpia tried.
"So WHAT if we tried to open the Heart of Etheria?" Netossa said. "The Horde destroyed the world once before that. When all was said and done, when the dust settled and Horde Prime fell, the Princess Alliance stood as winners."
"Nope," Catra happily said. "You didn't." She pointed at Despara. "She did."
"She-Ra IS part of the princess alliance," Netossa snapped.
"Am I?" Despara said with low, measured voice
"Um..." Perfuma said.
"...yes?" Frosta said.
"Whatever," Mermista said.
"So, therein lies the rub," Glimmer said with diplomatic voice. "The princess alliance is an alliance, just like you said, which means its up to every member if they want to be involved or not. And right now, Despara is not in the allying mood."
"But you still talked her into it?" Netossa said with suspicious voice.
"I have my ways," Glimmer said with a smug smile.
"That ass, 'mIright?" Mermista theatre whispered to Perfuma, who turned her head away with a little blush.
"Listen," Scorpia said. "We have to..."
"So that's how you spin it?" Spinnerella sighed. "Despara and Catra are not members of the princess alliance, but allied to the alliance?"
"Yup," Glimmer said. "It's not perfect, but it's what I could get them to agree on."
"Still doesn't say that's you're the one who should call the shots," Netossa gruffed. "Brightmoon was the centure of the alliance during the war. This is a new situation."
"You are completely right," Glimmer said with deadpan voice. "Which is why I suggest Perfuma should lead the new princess alliance. She's more than capable of leading us in peace."
"ME?" Perfuma squaked. "I can't... I don't want... Please don't give me responsibility. PLEASE!"
"There, there," Scorpia awkardly said and patted her crying girlfriend as gently as she could. "Um, also, I have something I need to..."
"Well, I'm not doing it," Frosta said. "Bossing a bunch of adults around is not nearly as fun as it should be."
Everyone's eyes went to Mermista.
"No," she simply said.
Spinnerella sighed.
"I suppose as Angella's friends we could step into..."
"NOPE!" Netossa interrupted her.
"But 'tossa..." Spinnerella begun.
"NOPE!" Netossa repeated. "We are NOT signing up as permanent babysitters to those disaster."
"Fine," Spinnerella sighed. "You win, Glimmer. We'll do this your way."
"Thank you," Glimmer said, not entirely successful in hiding her smug smirk. "I'm truly humbled by your continued fate in me."
"Yes, yes, don't rub it in," Spinnerella muttered.
"We have a lot of work to do," Glimmer said with serious voice. "And we need to reach out to people we have previously overlooked. First of all we must..."
"Please, can I say something?" Scorpia said and put a claw in the air.
"Of course, princess Scorpia," Glimmer smiled. "You are part of the alliance too, you know."
"Oh, um, gosh, thanks," Scorpia said with a blush. "Um, the thing is, that... there kinda is a lynch mob of enraged Etherians attacking Hordak."
