Meeting the family Chapter 1, a voltron fanfic

Some of ya'll wanted this, so here it is.

Ringtones

The cadets were in the middle of some down winded history lesson. Vince was either taking notes or doodling, it was hard to tell. Larmina was staring straight at Pidge while twirling a lock of her fiery red hair. And Daniel was trying very hard not to fall asleep in class… again. The cadets had learned the hard way not to fall asleep during his class. Long story short, they were running while Pidge chased them with a ruler.

It was the usual ongoings in their history class. Until…

"WHENEVER I SEE SOMEONE

LESS FORTUNATE THAN I

(AND LET'S FACE IT - WHO ISN'T

LESS FORTUNATE THAN I?)

MY TENDER HEART

TENDS TO START TO BLEED

AND WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS A MAKEOVER

I SIMPLY HAVE TO TAKE OVER

I KNOW I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED

AND EVEN IN YOUR CASE

THO' IT'S THE TOUGHEST CASE I'VE YET TO FACE"

"What is that?" Pidge asked.

"Oh, snart! Leona! I'm screwed! Okay, calm down! Maybe they haven't realized it's you. I'm sure it'll turn off any second now." Daniel thought frantically, his face showing nothing.

"DON'T WORRY - I'M DETERMINED TO SUCCEED

FOLLOW MY LEAD

AND YES, INDEED

YOU WILL BE...

POPULAR!

YOU'RE GONNA BE POPULAR!

I'LL TEACH YOU THE PROPER PLOYS

WHEN YOU TALK TO BOYS

LITTLE WAYS TO FLIRT AND FLOUNCE

I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT SHOES TO WEAR

HOW TO FIX YOUR HAIR

EVERYTHING THAT REALLY COUNTS

TO BE POPULAR!

I'LL HELP YOU BE POPULAR!

YOU'LL HANG WITH THE RIGHT COHORTS

YOU'LL BE GOOD AT SPORTS

KNOW THE SLANG YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW

SO LET'S START

'CAUSE YOU'VE GOT AN AWF'LLY LONG WAY TO GO..."

"Seriously! Who is that?" Pidge yelled.

"Stupid phone! How long is this ringtone?!" Daniel mentally shouted, still giving nothing away.

"DON'T BE OFFENDED BY MY FRANK ANALYSIS

THINK OF IT AS PERSONALITY DIALYSIS

NOW THAT I'VE CHOSEN TO BECOME A PAL, A SIS-

TER AND ADVISER

THERE'S NOBODY WISER

NOT WHEN IT COMES TO POPULAR -

I KNOW ABOUT POPULAR

AND WITH AN ASSIST FROM ME

TO BE WHO YOU'LL BE

INSTEAD OF DREARY WHO-YOU-WERE... ARE...

THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN STOP YOU

FROM BECOMING POPU-

LER... LAR...

LA LA LA LA

WE'RE GONNA MAKE

YOU POPULAR..."

Larmina and Vince started laughing, Daniel trying to cover his laughter, at Pidge's face. Pidge called in the other pilots.

"WHEN I SEE DEPRESSING CREATURES

WITH UNPREPOSSESSING FEATURES

I REMIND THEM ON THEIR OWN BEHALF

TO THINK OF

CELEBRATED HEADS OF STATE OR

SPECIALLY GREAT COMMUNICATORS

DID THEY HAVE BRAINS OR KNOWLEDGE?

DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!

THEY WERE POPULAR! PLEASE-

IT'S ALL ABOUT POPULAR!

IT'S NOT ABOUT APTITUDE

IT'S THE WAY YOU'RE VIEWED

SO IT'S VERY SHREWD TO BE

VERY VERY POPULAR

LIKE ME!"

"What's going on?" Keith asked as he and Lance came in.

"I don't know! It just started!" Pidge yelled in exasperation.

"I'm doomed." Daniel moaned mentally.

"AND THO' YOU PROTEST

YOUR DISINTEREST

I KNOW CLANDESTINEDLY

YOU'RE GONNA GRIN AND BEAR IT

YOUR NEW-FOUND POPULAR-ITY

LA LA LA LA

YOU'LL BE POPULAR

JUST NOT QUITE AS POPULAR

AS ME!"

And with that, the phone finally stopped ringing.

"Please don't call again! Please don't call again!" Daniel pleaded in his head.

Vince was now staring at Daniel, an evil smile on his face.

"Well, it seemed to have stopped." Hunk said.

"But who did it come from?" Lance asked.

"The clock ticks by too fast this time

Not a moment to be lost

A sack of books around me

And it looks like it's the day

Finals are coming and we all must try our best.

But I've given up

I'll just swing that test"

"What is with all the singing?!" Lance yelled.

"Skye, please just hang up." Daniel begged.

"No fun today

No fun at all

No more talking on the telephone

Read this, write that and learn it all

Can't learn it all!"

"This song is familiar." Vince mused aloud.

"Fuck it all…

Fuck it all!

Can't study this anymore!

Fuck it all

Fuck it all!

All my classes are a bore!"

"Song's got a point." Larmina commented quietly.

"I don't care!

If I fail this test!

Let my mom rage on…

My grades never bothered me anyway!"

"I know this song! It's popular on Earth!" Hunk exclaimed.

"Crap! Won't be long until they realize it's a phone."

"Fuck it all!

Fuck it all!

Don't give a shit anymore!

Fuck it all!

Flip the table

Screw you all!

I don't take this bullshit anymooooooore!

I don't give a fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

My grades never bothered me anyway!"

"Please stop calling me!" Daniel thought aloud.

"So it is coming from you!" Vince's voice echoed in his mind.

"Yeah, my sisters Leona and Skye. I just pray to God that it's over." Daniel answered sheepishly.

"Why do you even have those ringtones for them?" Vince asked.

"I didn't choose them. They did and threatened to come up with even more humiliating ringtones if I changed them." Daniel told him.

"Dog goes woof, cat goes meow.

Bird goes tweet, and mouse goes squeak.

Cow goes moo. Frog goes croak, and the elephant goes toot.

Ducks say quack and fish go blub, and the seal goes OW OW OW.

But there's one sound that no one knows...

WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY?"

"Ugh! Now Derek is calling me?!" Daniel mentally cried in despair.

"Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!

Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!

WHAT THE FOX SAY?

Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!

WHAT THE FOX SAY?

Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!

WHAT THE FOX SAY?

Joff-tchoff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff!

WHAT THE FOX SAY?"

"I'm starting to think that this is one of the cadets' doings." Pidge said suspiciously.

"Big blue eyes, pointy nose, chasing mice, and digging holes.

Tiny paws, up the hill, suddenly you're standing still.

Your fur is red, so beautiful, like an angel in disguise.

But if you meet a friendly horse, will you communicate by mo-o-o-o-orse, mo-o-o-o-orse, mo-o-o-o-orse?

How will you speak to that h-o-o-orse, h-o-o-orse, h-o-o-orse?

WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY?!"

"I've come to a conclusion. They're trying to get me killed." Daniel concluded.

"Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow!

Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow!

WHAT THE FOX SAY?

Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow!

WHAT THE FOX SAY?

A-hee-ahee ha-hee!

WHAT THE FOX SAY?

A-oo-oo-oo-ooo!

Woo-oo-oo-ooo!

WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY?!

The secret of the fox, ancient mystery.

Somewhere deep in the woods, I know you're hiding.

What is your sound? Will we ever know?

Will always be a mystery what do you say?

You're my guardian angel hiding in the woods.

What is your sound? (A-bubu-duh-bubu-dwee-dum a-bubu-duh-bubu-dwee-dum)

Will we ever know? (A-bubu-duh-bubu-dwee-dum)

I want to, I want to, I want to know! (A-bubu-duh-bubu-dwee-dum)

(Bay-buh-day bum-bum bay-dum)"

"I think it's coming from the vents! Cadets, stay here!" Keith ordered, and all the pilots save Pidge left.

"Daniel you need to turn off your phone!" Vince exclaimed.

"I can't! They'll figure out! Besides, that was my last relative that isn't on military business." Daniel responded.

"So it should be done?" Vince asked.

"If I get another call with a different ringtone, then I am gonna answer it. I haven't heard from my other siblings on military business in eight months." Daniel told him.

"Step by step, heart to heart, left right left

We all fall down like toy soldiers

Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win

But the battle wages on for toy soldiers

I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure

Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders

I ain't never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it

Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter

I'd never drag them in battles that I can handle unless I absolutely have to

I'm supposed to set an example

I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em

If some shit ever does pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em"

"Alec!" Daniel cried out aloud.

He pulled out his phone and answered. Pidge was staring at him, putting the pieces together.

Hey, buddy. I was hoping you'd answer.

"Alec, why are you calling? You only call if your on your way home."

Well, I'm still on military business, but I wanted to call you.

"Where are you this time?" Daniel asked.

Classified. Sorry, piccolo.

Pidge started glaring daggers at Daniel.

"I've gotta go. I'm in trouble." Daniel said.

Lemme guess, Leona, Skye, and Derek called you?

"Yeah, my phone went off three times because of them." Daniel sighed.

Alright, just tell them that it was your jerky siblings' fault.

"I wish I could say that." Daniel chuckled and hung up.

"You interrupted my class." Pidge said evilly.

"I should start running, shouldn't I?" he asked. The other two cadets nodded.

"Ya know… do you really think we could- oh, god not the ruler!"

And with that statement, Daniel took off running away from Pidge.
