Summary: Allura and Lance have gotten real chummy, why does it bother Keith? And what would happen if Allura was given time off from being a Princess?
Disclaimer: Not mine. Never will be. Want my own Lance but its not happening.
A.N.: Its been a while since I saw this show, from what I remember, Lance lost his family in an attack so I'm going with that and I'm changing their ages a bit. Keith, Lance and Hunk are 19, Pidge is 16, and Allura is about to turn 18.

"You guys ever just watch her?"
The guys stood at a table clearing up the food they'd been handing out.
"Watch her what?" Pidge asked
"Always out helping the people and keeping their hopes up, always cheerful and bright. I couldn't do it." Lance watched as Allura helped a little boy trying to grab a fruit from a tree and smiled.
"She's got to be strong, she's their ruler and leader, if she's not cheerful how can her people be? She's their rock." Pidge spoke from beside Lance.
Keith watched Allura carefully as she was surrounded by a group of women and took a baby from one of them. "You guys ever regret having her join the team?"
"Sometimes"
"When she got hurt"
"No"
"You don't?" the group turned to Lance and were surprised by the angry looks he gave them.
"I don't regret her being on the team, she's probably the best thing to happen to us despite the consequences and if she hears any of you guys talking like that she'll be terribly hurt, she
already thinks she's an outsider with us." with that and a final glare, he headed over to where Nanny had joined Allura and was obviously saying something unpleasant.
The guys watched curiously, wondering about Lance's attitude with the princess.
"Have you noticed how they've gotten lately?" Pidge asked as Lance offered Allura his arm and they said their good-byes, he helped her mount her black mare and settled onto his own horse beside hers.
Hunk shrugged and headed over to his own horse, "They do seem to be hanging out a lot more lately, he's always watching over her, and then there's those looks they'e always giving one
another."
"Yeah I noticed those too." Pidge and Keith followed, Keith remaining quiet.
[I wonder what is going on with those two.] Following not far behind the pair, Keith felt an odd pang in his chest as Allura turned and stuck her toungue out at Lance while Nanny looked
away.
Shaking his head, Lance laughed and reached over to whisper something Allura. Whatever he said must have been one of his trademark 'innapropriate' comments, becuase Allura gave him a
wide-eyed look. Then a blush stained her cheeks and she smacked him on the arm, urging her horse slightly ahead. Laughing harder, Lance moved up and took his place by her side.
"See what I mean? They're all buddy-buddy lately." Pidge turned to Keith and Hunk, not surprised to see Keith looking calm as ever, but an odd light in his eyes caught Pidge's attention and his curiosity doubled.
***********
"You know we'll get into trouble with Nanny if we're caught." Lance whispered as he was pulled along the dark hallway.
Allura turned with an impish grin and shrugged, "That what makes it so much fun!"
Shaking his head, he followed her down a back stairwell and into the castle's large kitchen. Heading straight for the smallest freezer, Allura let go of his arm and pulled out a large tub of
chocolate chip ice-cream. Walking over to where Lance stood beside a counter with two bowls and spoons. She handed over the tub and let him serve the snack while she hopped onto the counter.
Glancing at her while he served, Lance couldn't keep from smiling at her youthful enthusiasm. [She's been through so much crap and she's still such an innocent, thank God the war's over.] Putting the ice cream away he hopped onto the counter beside her and was
handed his bowl.
"So what where did we leave off last night?"
"I forgot, lets start with... worst party?" Lance took a bite of his ice cream and waited.
"Ok well... the worst party I ever went to or hosted?" Allura asked.
"Both"
She sat thinking for moment, "The worst party I ever went to was my tenth birthday party and that's also the worst party I've ever hosted."
"Your own birthday party? Why?" Lance set his empty bowl aside and scooted closer to her.
Allura shrugged, "It was a simple party, father invited my so-called-friends from the royal academy I attended but in reality most of those kids didn't like me so while they played games and ate my cake. I got to sit with them and hear their whispered taunts and stuff."
"The little jerks! They were mean to you at your party?" Lance stopped taking from her ice cream.
Nodding, she set aside her empty bowl and spoon, "I was the one with the most money so they tried to put me down so I didn't get conceited."
"There's logic for ya" Lance mumbled and shook his head. "You know kids think the dumbest things sometimes."
"Oh really? What did you think that was dumb as a kid?" Allura nudged his side as he shook his head at her.
"Ah... no. I was talking about kids in general."
"Fine but now its my turn to ask and I want to know what dumb thoughts you had as a kid." she gave him another grin and swung her feet.
"Hmm... I... used to believe that movies were real and that the bad guys in them would one day come out and get me if I didn't listen to my parents." His smile dimmed as he mentioned his parents.
"Yep I used to think so too, I still get a little freaked out when watching horror movies but that's ok, I know they're not real now." she froze as a noise suddenly came from the hallway
outside the kitchen door.
Jumping off the counter and pushing the bowls towards the sink, Lance pulled Allura down and led her over to one of the large pantries where they could both hide.
As they closed the door to the pantry, the kitchen door was opened and the lights came on. "I know I forgot those keys in here somewhere!" Nanny's voice floated past them as she passed the pantries and headed over to the drawers and shuffled through a few.
With the minimal amount of light that entered the small space they occupied, Lance and Allura stood both worried about getting caught and feeling like laughing at their silly predicament.
Looking over Lances shoulder to one of the shelves, Allura's eyes widened and she reached out behind him. Pulling her hand in between them, she opened her palm to reveal the keys Nanny
was searching for.
"Shit" Lance whispered and froze in the act of taking them from her as Nanny's shuffling neared the pantry and doors to the other ones could be heard opening.
Looking around quickly, Lance took the keys from Allura and pushed her to a side of the doors. "Flatten yourself as much as possible against the wall and pull the door open to cover you once she steps in."
Leaving the keys on a shelf directly in front of the doors where Nanny couldn't not see them, Lance stood on the other side of the doorway and held his breath as the doors suddenly swung open towards them and Nanny walked in.
"I knew I'd left them here in the kitchen somewhere!" grabbing the keys and leaving quickly, Nanny didn't take long to exit the kitchen and soon the light outside the pantry doors was turned off.
Allura stood against the wall holding back her giggles until the lights went out. "I can't believe that was so close! Can you imagine the scolding we would have gotten if she'd found
us?"
"That was a bit too close for my taste but it was fun." Lance closed the pantry and followed her silently out of the kitchen and up to the hallway where there rooms were located. Since
they were on opposite sides of the hallway, Allura stepped up and hugged him quickly, pecking his cheek and smiling.
"Thanks Lance, I'm sorry I had to wake you up again so late."
Messing up her hair, he grinned and tipped up her chin, "You know I don't mind these late night chats Allie, I'm always here if you need me k-?"
After a teary-eyed nod, Allura squeazed him arm slightly before heading over to her room.
[I hope she really does know we're here for her, I'm surprised she hasn't turned to Keith or Hunk for help instead of me.] Lance watched her enter her room and turn to go to his.
As he turned he was caught off guard at the sight he met.
Standing outside their doors were all three of the remaining Voltron Force members with very curious looks on their faces. Hunk and Pidge looked both confused and amused, Keith's
impassive look displayed nothing, but his fiery eyes gave away his jealousy. [Wow! Keith's jealous of me and the princess? There's nothing going on with us!] Smirking at the thought of
making 'commander' Keith jealous, Lance casually strolled past them to his room.
"Shouldn't you guys be asleep? You know we have an early meeting in the morning!" Without looking back he closed his door behind him and chuckled as he went to bed. [So Keith's got a thing for
Allie... this should be fun...]
