[Silver's POV]
                          
I woke up to dishes falling and Bow scrambling.
                          
"What happened? Are you okay?" I groaned sleepily and reached out on the bed, realizing Adora wasn't there. I popped my head over the side to see her sprawled out, face-planted on the floor.
                          
"I gotta go save Glimmer." Adora groaned and face planted again. I winced at the impact.
                          
"My body is betraying me." Adora whined.
                          
"No, you're exhausted. That happens to regular people when they keep throwing themselves into battle and refusing to sleep." Bow deadpanned.
                          
"I hate it." Adora sighed turning her head to him.
                          
"Come on, you just need to rest." He placed her back on the bed and Adora groaned her eyes drooping. 
                          
"Now, close your eyes and--"
                          
"Is she dead?!" I hissed at Frosta's intrusion.
                          
"What? No."
                          
"Okay, good, 'cause Adora normally does the planning, and we were wondering if there's a plan--"
                          
"Listen, the upgrade to Mara's ship are done, but we can't go anywhere until Adora's back on her feet." Bow whispered and turned to the blonde, "So, go to sleep and everyone will--"
                          
"Did someone say 'Swift Wind'?" This was getting me super agitated and I growled loud and deep for everyone to hear.
                          
"Is Adora feeling better? Did you tell her Horde Prime's message last night? Does she know he's only looking for her?" Micah came through the curtains. I leaned over Adora and glared at every single person, my eyes drawn to slits and a deep growl bubbling in my throat.
                          
"What's that?" Adora jolted upright and I backed away so she wouldn't get hit in the chest by my ribs.
                          
"Okay, that's enough." Bow raised his voice now.
                          
"Adora, rest!" He ordered.
                          
"Swift Wind, head!" The horse lowered her head.
                          
"Everyone, shh!"
                          
"She will be fine soon, right?" Frosta asked.
                          
"Yes. She just needs sleep." Everyone left and my eyes drooped once more.
                          
"Adora sick log, day three. Silver seems agitated and protective." Entrapta mused into her recorder.
                          
"Nope!" Bow threw her out.
                          
"Wait! But it's for science!" Entrapta tried to reason. 
                          
I growled and she yelped a little. Bow looked a bit scared at me and I huffed, curling up to Adora's shoulder and purred, easing the tension in her shoulders. Bow came closer to fix something and I growled at him threateningly. He flinched and backed away nervously moving to sit on the cushion nearby.
                          
I nestled back to my previous position and felt a few tears slipping from my eyes. And admittedly, that's when I started to cry. Cry out of exhaustion, worry and plain out pain in my heart. Cheesy, I know.
                          
Adora kept tossing and turning all night, I barely got any rest, because I was the one trying to comfort her the entire time. 
                          
Adora gasped awake, I was still clinging to her tightly, tired.
                          
She had her sword hilt in her hand and she sat up. Even thought I was clinging to her like a Koala on her torso.
                          
"Are...*Yawn*... are you okay, Adora?" I asked as she put it down, she had grabbed it at a random time during the night.
                          
"Yeah." She smiled and placed a long deserved kiss to my ear.
                          
"I missed your kisses." I confessed and she hugged my frame close to her.
                          
"Adora!"
                          
"Bow, wow, you were right. I just needed some sleep. I feel great!"
                          
"Good. Because I'm on a call with Mermista and she's saying--"
                          
"Get to the ship!" Mermista yelled.
                          
"We found her! We found Glimmer!" Entrapta took the tracker pad from the sea princess.
                          
"But also, we found out that Horde Prime is sending more ships to Etheria today. If you guys don't leave now, you can't leave, period. So, uh...run!" Mermista ordered.
                          
All three of us and Swift Wind headed to the ship. Where we met up with a few of our other friends.
                          
"We're exposed here. We need to make these goodbyes quick." Micah said. Adora looked to the Princesses and I.
                          
"We'll be back as soon as we can." Adora hugged Mermista, the princess went rigid. 
                          
"The rebellion is in good hands."
                          
"Yeah, it turns out I'm an awesome leader, so we're gonna be fine. And Entrapta helped." Mermista blushed furiously.
                          
"You're still a weirdo, but you did good today. We've got your back anytime." Mermista told the geeky princess and everyone nodded yes. Bow had tears in his eyes as he joined everyone into a group hug.
                          
Swift Wind pulled Adora away to say his goodbyes and I looked to Bow, sadly. 
                          
"Surveillance bots. If they see the ship, they'll alert the armada and stop us. What are we gonna do? Are we gonna have to stay here?" Scorpia panicked.
                          
"No. We're getting this ship off Etheria, no matter what. I've got an idea." Micah proposed and left with everyone else. He wanted to go but I guess he was sacrificing his chance to help us out. Adora looked to me with tears in her eyes before joining Bow and Entrapta.
                          
I ran to grab her wrist, running beside her.
                          
"If you think you're leaving without me, you are dead wrong blondie." I kissed her and she hugged me tightly as the door closed behind us.
                          
"We're up and running!" Bow announced as the ship turned on. Adora led me to the main control room as she sat in the big chair. I sat in her lap and stuck my tongue out.
                          
"Let's go get Glimmer back." Adora turned her focus to the outside of the ship, holding me in her arms as I got adjusted to the movement.
