Summary: Rachel Mcclain could tell that this...this wasn't supposed to happen. She knew that her twin brother wasn't supposed to be just some poor dirt farmer with a broken heart and spirit. He was a shining star, he always was the brightest among them. And so, she decided to use Matt's time machine to go back and fix everything. But...how far did she go back? Back to the beginning, of course!

Or, "I didn't like how Voltron ended and one person decides to go back and change it all!"

A/n: Here's the author at it again. Deleted "Share the Love" only because...I've watched Season 8. I couldn't continue the story after what I've watched. And...I was mixed feeling about it too. There were some good, but they were covered in fast pace bad? I mean not-who am I kidding, there were some bad parts. I think you know WHICH ones I'm talking about. I just...I dunno, it wasn't enough for me. And there were a lot of unanswered questions. And what better way than to do a fix-it story like everyone else...but with a twist. So sit back, relax and enjoy this story that HOPEFULLY, I can update and work with. Happy reading!

Rachel McClain was a person that could read people well.

Especially, when it involved her brother, Lance.

They were twins after all. They have been close together since they were born. The two always did everything together. Shared the same likes and dislikes and they were scarily similar that their older siblings were pretty freaked out before when they played "Which one is Rachel and Which one is Lance?" game. This worked when they were in kindergarten up to middle school, considering they both had short hair and dressed the same.

But as they were growing into teenagers, they...had their differences. Slowly but surely.

Rachel's hair grew longer, mostly because she didn't like being labelled as a tomboy and wanted to fit in with the other girls. Lance, on the other hand, just stayed as he was; loving himself and being proud of who he was. Well...that changed until he met him.

Apparently some 'emo looking kid' was new into the school and wasn't exactly shy. But he wasn't talkative either. He just...stayed to the side and didn't talk to anyone. Lance, being the extrovert and happy kid he was, went over to make friends with him.

This caused the boy, Keith Kogane, to growl at Lance and push him away.

It sort of wounded Lance that day.

Like he was surprised that someone didn't like him.

And Rachel knew that once Lance was determined about something, he was going to keep annoyingly going until it killed him. So she watched as Lance was trying to befriend the 'mullet haired' broody middle schooler over and over each year.

That's when Takashi Shirogane happen.

The man was handsome, and Rachel thought he was the most perfect human being she's ever laid eyes on. Lance thought the same (she could tell her twin didn't just like girls, but Lance was pretty in denial and scared at the time considering he saw how one boy was bullied for liking the same gender in Marco and Veronica's highschool next door) and was soon wishing to be in the Galaxy Garrison.

Which is why when the youngest Garrison Pilot came to their school, Lance was excited.

"The Galaxy Garrison sent me to schools in the area to help find the next generation of astroexplorers," The friendly smile was on the Asian male's face, "Who's ready to find out if they've got what it takes?"

And soon, hands were raised up and shouting over each other, including Lance.

The only ones that weren't raising their hands up were Keith and Rachel.

Mostly...because Rachel wasn't sure if she could go into a fancy place like the Galaxy Garrison.

"Alright, alright," Takashi Shirogane laughed, trying to calm the class down, "Well, in order to do that, we're going to give you a test,"

And as expected, everyone groaned about this.

But of course, Takashi Shirogane continued, "By playing...a video game!"

This got the students hyped up again and Lance's eyes sparkled with excitement. Rachel watched her brother for a moment, then glanced back at Takashi Shirogane, who was looking somewhere with a thoguhtful look. Following his gaze, she looked to where Keith was sitting.

And knew that this was going to change everything.

"Rachel? What are you doing out here?"

The Cuban female jumped as she turned her head towards the voice and was relieved to see it was Matt Holt.

"Er, sorry. I was just wondering if my sister was with you?"

The now short haired male hummed, scratching the back of his head, "Sorry you just missed her. Apparently she was just here to observe the time machine we've just built,"

"Time machine?" Rachel questioned as she stepped into the Holt Lab and raised a brow, "There such a thing?"

"Hey. If alien lifeforms exist along with giant robot lions forming together one super robot, why shouldn't time travel be a thing?" Matt laughed as he then hummed, "Although it would be pretty cool to test out this baby to get my gorgeous long hair back~" He teased, patting some sort of large pod like machinery.

"What's it for anyways?"

Matt was silent from Rachel's question for a moment, as he then sighed, "I...thought it would maybe help give Lance hope again. You know, the thing about Allura..."

Rachel understood.

"I know that the others are saying that Allura isn't truly gone. But...it can't help but be wondering 'what ifs' you know?" The older Holt child was then tracing his fingers over the machine once more, "As a scientist, how could I not try and build the impossible? To give someone hope for a sliver of happiness..."

Oh how she knew what he was talking about.

Ever since Allura's sacrifice, Rachel somehow was sensing that everyone was...changed since her departure. Especially her brother, who had gone quiet and had locked himself in his room for days. It took Keith and only Keith to get Lance out of the sadness and slowly getting him as normal as he was. But...he still looked defeated. Like his life was sucked out of him.

And for once in her life, Rachel was at a loss of what to do for her brother.

Unfortunately, Keith couldn't always be by Lance's side. He had his duties to the Blade now that Voltron was no longer of use. The Galra was no more (except for the Blade and those that are loyal to the Coalition now before the realities have changed), peace was achieved and now everyone was just preparing for Shiro and Curtis' wedding happening in a month prior. Hunk, Lance's first best friend, was volunteering to go with Shiro planet to planet with diplomatic missions. And Pidge...she was burying herself into her science along with her brother.

Either way, they couldn't be around each other.

Not without Allura.

Not even Coran stuck around, since apparently he was busy making a new Altea with his people along with a woman named Merla and of course, Romelle.

Veronica wasn't around much either, stating that she was actually joining up with Acxa to help with the cause the Blades were doing.

And the rest of her family?

Just...trying to get back into their normal lifestyle as possible.

And Rachel just wasn't satisfied that this is going to be it.

"Rachel?"

The Cuban woman snapped out of it once more then looked back at a worried Matt.

"You spaced out just now. You okay?" Matt asked as he touched her arm gently.

"I'm...I'm okay..." Rachel hummed then looked back at the machine, "Does...does it work?"

Matt looked back to the machine as well and frowned, "Not yet. But it will be. There are still some issues to deal with when it comes to dealing with quantum mechanics of time travelling," He explained and stepped back.

"So it hasn't be tested yet?" Rachel asked as she was unconsciously walking to the machine and pursed her lips.

Matt caught her look and was reaching out to touch her wrist, "It is not for use,"

Rachel looked like she was going to pout, "But don't you need to find out if it works or not? Why not have someone volunteer to check it out?"

"I don't know what you're thinking. But whatever it is that you're planning, it's a bad idea,"

The female McClain swiped her hand away and narrowed her eyes.

Matt just gave a warning look, "My sister herself said I shouldn't have tried to build this, even if it's just a theory," He softened, looking understanding, "It's...it's not good to think we could always change things with science. It's not natural. What happened, happened. There's no changing that even with science on our side,"

Shaking her head, Rachel turned away and walked out the door, not seeing how sad Matt looked.

Walking home was...

Rachel knew she had a lot to think about.

Matt's words still rang in her head, but it didn't mean she was going to accept it. How can he say that, when she knew that he wasn't exactly...happy about this sort of outcome. Sure, they defeated Hornerva, but it all came at a great cost. So much lives were lost, and Rachel could tell that the Garrison were still doing their old ways of hiding some truths from the world; even with everything that's happened.

Like nothing has changed.

A curse of the human race really.

Nearing the new McClain farm, Rachel was spotting a lone figure near the new juniberry trees.

Knowing who it was, she stepped towards the person and smiled weakly, "Working overtime?"

Lance looked up from his tending to the flowers and smiled, "Yup. These ones are looking like they'll grow up into beauties. I'm sort of happy Mrs. Holt had figured a way to bring back these beautiful things to life again,"

Rachel smiled warmly and then softened, "Lance, is this all you want to do in life?"

"What do you mean?" Lance asked, glancing over at his twin.

"I mean, I would've thought you'd join Keith and them to go out into space and help with the Coalition,"

Lance looked a bit put out for a moment, but then chuckled, "Why would I? I mean Voltron isn't needed anymore. There's no more bad guys to fight. Besides, Pidge is on Earth too. We both thought that we should be with our family. We...we don't want to be away from them ever again,"

Rachel knew that, she did. But...

"You don't belong down here,"

Lance stared at her.

The young female sighed, "Not like that! I mean you were in the Galaxy Garrison for a reason! You wanted to reach into the stars and see the world outside of Earth. That was your dream, ever since you've met Shiro!"

"And I achieved it! I saw what was in space and now all I want is just to be with my family," Lance looked like he wanted to be angry, but...he looked more tired than anything, "I just...I'm content here, Rachel. The war's over and we won. Don't you think it's time to just settle down?"

Rachel didn't like it at all.

Lance was sounding like he was an old man now...when he's not.

There was so much more he could do. And she knew that Lance knew it. But...he was afraid. To move on from the memories of Allura.

"I know losing Allura was still fresh, and you think that everything's good and done. But I think she would've wanted you to stay with your friends and help out what she started?"

"And I am doing what she wanted? Spreading the word by growing a part of her here. The flowers of her home planet that she loved. The reminder of what she was...I can spread it down here," Lance said stubbornly and averted his eyes away, "It's what she would've wanted,"

"Is it?" Rachel challenged, doubting Lance's words.

Lance shook his head and walked past her.

"It's getting late, how about we go inside?"

Rachel stared at his back, watching him walk ahead of her inside the house.

She knew what she had to do.

And she knew it was the right thing.

"Ugh..."

Everything hurt.

Head spinning and her vision blurred, Rachel McClain could hear the ringing in her ear painfully.

'Man, this was a bad idea. Although I won't tell Matt that,'

The question was, did it work?

Once her head was cleared, she was soon tapping at the door that had trapped her inside of the machine. Biting her lower lip, she soon was pushing it open and then peeked out and blinked.

A desert?

No...she was close to a building.

The Galaxy Garrison.

She was stepping out of the machine and stretched herself, then looked back at the machine. Rachel then looked panicked.

It looked like it was fried.

"No, no, no, no, no, no," She murmured as she was looking over the machine, then stepped back when it short circuited out some sparks and...it died.

Well, Matt did warn her.

"Attenion students! This is not a drill! We are on lockdown! Security situation Zulu Niner! Repeat: All students are to remain in barracks until further notice!"

Rachel's eyes widened as she heard the alarms going off and then thought to herself that she had set something off. Suddenly she heard an explosion and then yelped, almost falling back into the time machine. Hearing footsteps, she then was about to hide away into the machine when...she saw three familiar figures.

Lance, Pidge and Hunk were sneaking out from the Garrison.

"Aw man, you guys seriously! We should go back to our rooms and wait this out!" She could hear Hunk's not so quiet whisper.

Lance seemed to have said something with a cheeky grin, as he and Pidge was going off ahead and Hunk trailing behind them.

"C'mon! It's the only way to know if it's about the Voltron thing or not!" Pidge's voice echoed afterwards after they disappeared.

Rachel was...looking confused, until she realized how far she went back.

This was before Lance and them found Voltron.

"Oh boy...this is so weird,"

Deciding that there wasn't much she could do with the machine, she soon was going after the trio, wanting to see where this was going.

'I hope I'm right about this...'
