Chapter 1

After recovering the Blue Lion from the estranged trio of rebels, Shiro suddenly remembers Lance is still handcuffed to a tree. His eyes narrowed at the simple thought of the Blue Lion pilot and how he lost the Blue Lion in the first place. Shiro contacts the rest of team as they are flying back to the moon.

"Okay, team, I want your guys to bring the 'rebels' to where the castle-ship is stationed. I'll go free Lance from his . . . situation," he informs the other paladins.

"Oh, Shiro! Please take a picture of Lance! He'll never live it down!" Keith asked with a smirk on his face. Shiro smiles as the rest of team chuckles in response to Keith's request.

"I'll think about it, Keith," he responded before flying off to where Lance's current coordinates are. As he got near his location, he pondered on what to do with him. As the leader of the team, he has a responsibility to guide the team, which included the hard task of discipline.

Shiro had a good idea of how to punish Lance for his latest stunt, but he wasn't sure when. Because the team is going to Balmera to help free the balmerans from the evil rule of the Galra, Shiro doesn't want his punishment for Lance to distract him during the mission. 'Okay, I'll give him a warm up during the flight back so he will behave for the rest of the mission. I can give him the rest of his chastisement after we finish the mission.'

Soon, he reached a purple lake near Lance. He spotted a blue and white clothed figure seemingly hugging a tree. He smiled a bit and took a picture with the Black Lion's camera as soon as he landed. Lance did not seem to notice the flash because he was relieved someone came for him. Shiro concealed all other emotions and made himself look as strict as possible as he exited the Black Lion.

"Oh, Shiro, thank you for coming back for me! I actually thought your guys might have forgotten me!" Lance called out as the other paladin got near him. His look of thanks soon transformed in to a look of apprehension as he noticed the expression his leader was wearing.

Shiro simply walked over and cut off the handcuffs from his hands, releasing Lance's from his makeshift prison. Then he started back towards the Black lion, motioning Lance to followed him. Lance quietly followed behind him, wondering what Shiro was going to do to him. As soon as the two paladins boarded the Black lion, Shiro just turned around and gave his errant teammate a firm look. Lance wavered under his intense look and turned his eyes towards the ground rather than meet them with eyes of steel above him.

"Do you not know the meaning of being cautious?! You knew not to let strangers on board the castle-ship and Blue Lion, but you still did. You disobeyed my direct orders all for a girl!" Shiro reprimanded, "Lance, I am not sure what to do with you anymore. Maybe you're not responsible enough to be on this team."

"No, Shiro! I'm sorry! Please don't replace me! I can do better! I'll take any punishment you'll give me, just don't kick me out of the team!" Lance cried out in fear of losing his new friends.

Shiro, now knowing Lance can repent for his mistakes, decided to start the first part of his disciplining, "Okay, if you are willing to accept your punishment for this stunt of yours, then follow me."

Shiro walked over to his pilot seat and took a seat, turning it to face the other paladin. As Lance got closer to him, he started to wonder what was going on. Suddenly, Shiro grabbed his arm and pulled him over his lap. Before Lance could fully take in his situation, Shiro's hand came crashing down on his bottom.

Lance yelped in pain before more blows came reigning down on his backside. Even through the slightly thick spandex covering his rear, his bottom was starting to feel a slight burn. After just a few more claps of Shiro's hand, Lance started to get actual tears in his eyes, Shiro suddenly stopped. He then pulled up his errant paladin so he was sitting in his lap and held him in his arms. Lance started to resist Shiro, but he just held him tightly.

Shiro set the Black Lion on autopilot back to the castle-ship, before speaking to Lance, "Lance, I don't want any of my team, including you, to get hurt because of small mistakes like this. I would rather hurt you myself then let you get hurt because you would not learn from your mistakes. I am only doing this because I cared about you." The blue paladin stopped resisting the other paladin's embrace and started to really cry as he realized how much Shiro cared about him to do this.

"Your punishment is not over, but I don't have the time to fully correct you because we have to save the Balmerans. But, as soon the mission is over, we are going to be revisiting this issue in detail, understand?" Lance broke into a new wave of cries when he heard that, but he still forced himself to nod to Shiro's question.

Shiro started to rock the younger teen till he finally started to calm down. "Now, Lance, we're nearing the castle-ship now, so you might want to get ready to face the others. No one else will know about this, okay? There's a bottle of water and a towel in the back if you want to clean up a bit."

Lance got up, wiping his eyes as he headed towards the back. He soon came back looking much better, albeit a bit red-eyed and pale. "When we get back the castle-ship, I want you to go back to your room to rest before the mission. We'll talk more about your punishment after we save the balmerans, okay?" Lance nodded, feeling a bit worried about the rest of his punishment.

Soon, the two reached the castle-ship and met up with the rest of the team. His teammates scolded him a bit about letting strangers on board the ship and the lions before he could go to his room.

After locking himself in his room, he got out of his uniform and pulled down his underwear to look at his bottom. He winced in pain as he saw his pinked backside in his mirror. 'If this was how his butt looked after a few spanks from Shiro, how is he going to survive the rest of his punishment!' the boy thought to himself. He forced himself to rest before the upcoming battle. He was having a hard time falling asleep because of his slightly aching bottom, but he was soon asleep on his stomach, forgetting all about his upcoming appointment with Shiro after the upcoming mission.
