Chapter one.

Daniel POV.

I watched as Larmina sparred with Vince. She is so graceful and pretty. What were did pretty come from? I can't like her, she is my best friend. I shook his head slightly and went back to watching their sparring match. "Ha I win!" Larmina shouted as she kicked Vince in the back.

Lance laughed before walking over to Vince. He held out his hand to help Vince up. Vince took his hand and Lance pulled him up. "Nice try Vince but next time don't let her get behind you." Vince nodded. "Let's get to are next class." Vince said. The three of them walked to the classroom were Keith and Allura taught strategy.

As they walked into class Keith came up to them. "Ok it is just me today. Allura had to go talk to some people having trouble on Arus. Alright I want you three to figure out a good strategy that would work for you guys to defend the castle while the rest of the team is piloting the lions."

I turned to Larmina and Vince. "Alright, Vince has his technology power to control the castle defense all at one time so Larmina and I could be patrolling the grounds in case someone got past your defense. We could separate to gain more ground to see if anyone got into the castle." Keith nodded. "That is a good plan Daniel. What do you think Vince, Larmina?"

"I agree with Daniel." Vince said. We all looked at Larmina. "I just I agree too. I was thinking if they do get into the castle what will we do if we were to scan the grounds separately they could over power us separately then together." I saw Keith smiled to himself. I thought for a minute. "We could just be close to here so I few need help we can call each other and get there quickly."

All the cadets looked at Keith. "That is a good plan Daniel. Let's put it to the test. You will be in a simulation fighting Wadebots. (I can't remember what they were called.) Ready to put your teamwork skills to the test?"

They all nodded. Keith pressed a button on his Voltcom and they were in the castle main room. Vince connected to the castle defenses. Larmina and I got out are Voltcom weapons out. "You want right or left?" I asked.

"I'll take left you take right." She said turning to walk away. "Remember to yell if you need help." I called after her. "Yea, remember that yourself." I chuckled and took off running quickly down the right side. After a few seconds of running I stopped and looked around. There were four of the robots walking around. I fired my Speed Claws at them destroying them. I ran to where Vince was still controlling the machines. "Do you need any help?" I asked. "Nope, I got it under control."

"Where is Lamina?" I asked. Then I heard a scream. I looked at Vince. "That sounded like Larmina!" I yelled panicking. I took off running down the hall she went down. I saw right away that there were at least twenty surrounding her. I ran up to them jabbing and kicking them with my Voltcom. Larmina I saw was on the ground her staff in its spear form.

"Daniel watch out!" She screamed. I turned around to see a Wadebot behind me. It smacked me across the face. I felt my head spin and blood coming out of my lip. The Wadebot stood over me ready to fire a laser when a spear was ebbed through it. I rolled out of the way just as it fell to its knees. I saw that Larmina was still on the ground her arm still out from throwing the spear.

I stood up and walked over to Larmina. I held out my hand to here. She took it. "Thanks Daniel. Are you ok?" She asked touching my bleeding lip. I felt sparks at where she touched me.

Keith ended the training simulation. "You ok Daniel? I didn't think it would hit you that hard." I nodded my head. "I'm fine Keith." He handed me a towel. "Just hold that to your lip to stop the bleeding. Now tell me what was good about that strategy and what was bad about it?"

Vince raised his hand. "It was a good plan. I kept most of the Wadebots out of the castle and out of the air. Daniel came back to check on me to see if I need help. He went to see where Larmina was. Not to be mean Daniel, the only problem was what if there was more coming down your area and you heard Larmina or me scream would you come back or continue fighting or come and help us? If you come back they could get past and destroy the castle. "

"I would come to help you." I said slightly hurt by what Vince said. "How about tomorrow we try Larmina strategy?" We all nodded.

"Do you guys want to go for a walk outside?" Larmina asked. "Sorry can't. Promised Pidge to help him with the Lions." Vince said walking away. Larmina turned to me. "Sure I would like to go out for a while. Let's go." I said taking off running down the hall. I heard Larmina behind me. I ran into Keith and Allura.

"Where you two going?" Larmina came up behind me. "We were going to go for a walk."

Allura shook her head. "No. You can't go. I need to tell the whole team something. Come on we, need to go to the control room."

Lamina POV

I wonder what Aunt Allura needs to tell everyone? Just I'll find out. I thought. As we walked to the control room I couldn't help but think about what Daniel did. I know it was a simulation but still it was brave of him to come and help me when I was hurt. He is cute when he cares for someone. What did I just say Daniel is cute? I can't like him can I? I mean he is my best friend I can't like him like that can I? I can't believe I'm arguing with myself. I cleared those thoughts as we entered the control room.

"I know you all probably won't like this but Arus is hosting a ball this year." I can't believe this. We have to go to a ball. I turned to Daniel. Whispering to him I said, "I can't believe this. I HATE balls. We have to get dressed up and all the royal people can't dance. You would think that they would learn how to."

I saw that Daniel was trying not to laugh. "I know what you mean. I can dance but I hate having to. I don't like having to dress nicely for something this stupid." It was my turn not to laugh. His face should disgust in it.

"Is there anything you two want to say?" Lance said glaring at us. Daniel's ears started to turn red. "Yes, No, Maybe. If you do we would like to hear it." Lance said. "Will Vince and I be invited?" Daniel said. Allura looked at him in surprised. "I mean we aren't royalty. Are we going to be able to go because we are part of the Voltron Force?"

"Well of course you need to go. All of the Force is going." Allura said. I saw relief in Daniel's eyes. "The ball will be this weekend so the boys will be with Keith and Lance and Larmina will be with me."

I walked with my Aunt to my room. "Ok. What do you want to wear for the ball that is formal?" She asked. I shrugged. Aunt Allura said. "Here are the dresses I thought you would like." She laid out three dresses. The first one was a red dress with no shoulders and was short. The second one was purple with two straps and was long and touched the floor. The last one was baby blue that matched her eyes. It was no straps and was down to her ankles.

"I like the blue on the best. It is perfect." Her Aunt smiled. "Is the dress for someone that starts with the letter D?" I felt my face heat up at that comment. "Like you don't like someone whose name starts the letter K?" I shoot back. I saw her blush. I knew she likes Keith. I thought.

"Well we have your dress picked out should we go see the boys' tuxes?" I smiled. "We should."

Tell me if I should go on with this story. Please review.
