"Are you excited about the trip to earth?" Keith asked as he walked out on the balcony where he found Allura speaking with the family of mice.
"Oh yea, I guess so, I just don't get why you guys are acting as if I've never been to earth before." Allura replied.
"It's not like that, and have you ever toured that planet like a regular person? Lance and I plan on showing you what life was like for us. I'm sure you can tell from our behavior that things are much different." Keith stated.
"Oh come on. From what I've seen from earth it can't be that different." Allura said not wanting to think that much. "Anyways this is a meeting with Galaxy Garrison not a vacation. We only have a week to be gone." Allura said as she walked towards the doorway.
Keith turned away from the setting sun and started towards the door. "That's long enough. You better get some rest because we leave early tomorrow."
~*~*~*~*~
"Sometimes long trips just get to me, you know?" Lance said as he stepped down from the Red Lion and put his hands to the sky to stretch.
"Oh it wasn't that long, Lance. Just a galaxy or two" Pidge joked
"Really? Well my stomach says that it feels like a centaury since I last had food!" Hunk announced as he patted his stomach.
"Yea I think I could go for some food also." Allura said.
Hunk, Pidge, Lance and Allura all turned to face Keith who was only half listening to their conversation. When Keith finally came out of his own trance he noticed that they were all starring in his direction. Not understanding Keith looked behind himself, but he didn't find what it was they were all starring at. "What wrong with you all?"
"Were all hungry, Captain!" Lance said as if it was only too obvious.
"Oh, well I think there's a little diner just a block further. Sound good?" Keith asked the group. He saw that they all nodded except Allura. "What's wrong princess? Are you okay?"
"Oh yeah, I was just wondering something. What is a diner exactly? I mean I've heard of then before, but I've never seen one." Allura answered.
"Just follow me and you'll see." Keith stated.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Good after noon. Welcome to Joe's Diner. My name is Kelsey and I will be your waitress today." Kelsey said after the force finally settled down. Kelsey had hair of a deep vibrant red ant the biggest green eyes. She delicately lined them in black, which only made them stand out even more. She had to wear a button up top that was a baby blue and had a white collar and the sleeves were short with the ends folded up and also white. She then wore a white apron around her waist. "So what can I get ya'll?" she asked in an innocent voice.
"Um. um. I guess I'll just have a coke please." Lance managed to choke out. It was no secret that he liked her, a lot!
After she got the others orders Pidge was the first to point out Lance's new found crush. "Look all, Lance is once again in love!"
"Am not! And who are you to say so?" Lance said as he jammed Pidge in the shoulder, which sent him into Hunk who sat at the window.
Allura put her hand over her mouth as she began to giggle. Keith was sitting next to her across from the other three that were now fighting a little to loud. "Shh all of you. Lance stop hitting Pidge. Pidge stop egging Lance on and Hunk, stop pushing Pidge back into Lance!" Keith waited until they had all stopped. "You to Princess!" Keith saw the shocked look that appeared on her face. "Now Lance you know you can't deny that you like that you like our waitress. Right?"
"Her name is Kelsey." Lance shot that others a look as they all started to laugh. "Yea I guess I do think she's cute."
"Well then Lance it's easy. Just ask her out. I'm sure she would love to go out with you." Allura said after her urge to laugh had stopped. They all turned when Kelsey returned with their drinks.
"So what are you all hungry for?" She asked in a chirpy voice.
"Actually our friend here has a question that he wishes to ask you." Pidge said as he jabbed Lance at the side.
"Yea Lance, go ahead and ask her." Hunk chimed in.
Lance gave them all and evil glare and then turned to Kelsey. "I was just wondering if you would like to do me the honors of taking you out tonight?"
"See people on Earth are as polite when courting as they are on Arus!" Allura whispered to Keith with a smile.
"Oh you just wait and see! I'll show you what I'm talking about soon enough." Keith replayed as he also returned her smile.
"Well my sift ends in an hour. Want to get together then?" Kelsey said as a smile started to spread across her face.
"Uh, yeah, that would be great. Guess I'll just see you then." Lance then got up and started for the door.
"Hey Lance!" Allura yelled. When Lance turned around and walked back to the table Allura finished her comment "I don't really know what happens on Earth after you've asked someone out, but on Arus I think you can finish a meal. And oh by the way I'm hungry so can I finish?"
"Oh." Lance's face turned a bright red as he once again sat down. "Sorry princess. Please go ahead." Lance watched as they all started to laugh again.
~*~*~*~*~
"Well Lance I guess we'll be leaving you." Keith said as he offered Allura his assistance from the table.
"Oh, but can't we stay just a little longer?" Hunk said in a mocking tone.
"Yea Keith, this would be a great way to see one of our best and Lance's most well known custume." Pidge said following Hunk's lead.
"And Pidge please tell me what custume you speak of." Allura said not quite catching on as quickly. She looked over at Keith who was just standing there while shaking his head.
"Oh it's a wonderful custume really. It's called dumped after only one date!" Pidge said as he gave a smirk to Lance.
"Enough! Now come on you three! We should all go and settle into our rooms." Keith got to the door and with an evil grin he added. "And try not to get dumped this time Lance!" before he could even see Lance's reaction he was out the door.
~*~*~*~*~
"That was great at the diner!" Pidge said as he rested his head on the back of the bed.
"Yea I guess so." Keith said, but Pidge and Hunk both knew that he wasn't really listening.
Pidge and Hunk had been in their room about an hour unpacking when Keith came in. Keith was to room with Lance but he wasn't back from his date so Keith decided to go and visit them.
"What's wrong man?" Hunk asked as he walked over to the window to stand next to his captain.
"I don't know if anything is wrong." Keith turned away from the window.
Just then there was another knock on the door. Pidge jumped up from the bed and went to answer the door.
"Hey you guys look who it is!" Pidge said as he walked away from the door.
"Allura! What are you doing up? Is something wrong?" Keith said. He had turned from the window and now with fear running all through him as he walked towards her.
"Keith calm down. I was only board and also to excited to sleep so I decided to walk the halls." Allura then paused noticing an odd expression on his usually masked face. "I heard voices coming from this room so now I'm here." Allura added with a smile, but noticed that he was still upset that she had left her room. Carefully she whisked by him and looked around the room. All the rooms were very nice, but Allura noticed that they all had a view screen, but she couldn't figure out how to work it. " So you guys got you view screen to work I see."
"View screen?" Hunk followed Allura's gaze to the T.V. "Oh" Hunk added with a laugh. "That's not a view screen it's a T.V."
"Oh, yes I've heard of those before. On Arus no one had a T.V. because if anyone was to be viewed it was usually something that could be seen through the view screen. Anyways no on really needs a T.V. because everyone was either working, spending time with loved ones, reading, playing games, or just enjoying nature."
"We're watching 'I Love Lucy'! Want to watch?" Pidge asked as he tried to straiten a place for her to sit.
"Sure!" Allura said as she sat down on the edge of the bed. " I didn't know TV's show in black and white!" Allura said after a while.
"No princess, not all of them." Keith finally slipped away from the entry way and walked back to the window. "This is just a really old show."
