Lance had just woken up. Figuring the rest of the team was already eating (he was always the last one up), he headed to the kitchen for breakfast.

The door slid open and Lance walked right into Keith.

"Watch it mullet!" Lance scolded as he rubbed his head where they had collided.

"Seriously? If you'd pay attention once in while-" Keith started, but he was quickly cut off by Shiro clearing his throat loudly, gaining Keith and Lance's attention.

Shiro looked to Allura, who nodded. "Why don't you both sit down?" Shiro said, gesturing to their seats. Keith started arguing that he needed to go train before he caught Shiro's stern glare.

He shot Lance a dirty look as they took their seats, both crossing their arms and refusing to look at each other.

Shiro began, "recently, we've been noticing you two have been struggling to get along with one another." Hunk, Pidge, Allura, and Coran all nodded in agreement.

"Normally, I would dismiss it as meaningless bickering but..." Shiro began trailing off, looking to Allura for help.

"What Shiro's trying to say is that your hostile relationship has been affecting the team's ability to form Voltron." Allura tried.

Keith and Lance looked at each other guiltily as Shiro continued.

"That being said, we think we may have come up with a plan to help you two bond more personally with each other." He looked over to Pidge, who nodded in response.

"As you know, there's a lot of bugs we need to work out with the castle," Pidge began "and there are a few parts we need that will take several days to find and acquire."

She looked between Keith and Lance with a glint in her eye the two paladins knew all too well.

"So we've decided to leave you two here to bond while we leave for a week to collect all the necessary parts and equipment." Pidge finished with an evil smile that rivaled Zarkon's.

Keith and Lance stood up, simultaneously knocking back their chairs.

"YOU WHAT?!"
