Here's a little update, Hope you enjoy!
(The next morning)
The men and the Princess waited patiently for Keith to arrive. They were surprise that their Captain hadn't arrived yet. Lance looked down at his watch in annoyance and wined out loud, "where is he? We should be in the air already!"
Allura gave him a little smile, "maybe he overslept? He never made it to dinner last night." Inwardly, she felt that she was the reason he never came to dinner last night."
Pidge walked up to the Control panel and typed in some codes. "Well good news is, our flight home should be nice and calm."
Lance couldn't take it anymore. He pulled out his COMM, "Cap, where are you?" The group looked at him in shock, he shrugged his shoulders at them. "I can't wait all day."
The doors open and Coran and Keith walked in, Both men were in deep conversation. He smiled at his men, "sorry, going over some last minute details with Coran. Is everyone ready?" They nodded their heads. He smiled, "then let's go!" Coran walked to the control panel and punched in the codes to raise the platform. He smiled at Allura, "want to throw your arms around my neck? Well ride down together." Her eyes lit up in excitement. She jumped on his back and threw her arms around his neck. He coughed out, "not so tight princess." The boys chuckled at the couple.
Coran smiled down at them, "Be safe and and have fun." They nodded their heads right before they jumped and grabbed their handle bars that took them to their lions. The platform lowered and he took a seat at the Control Panel. He watched each lion activate.
Getting in black lion, Keith motioned to the controls, "would you like to fly?"
She nodded her head excitedly. She took her seat at controls. He took his seat right behind her. She put the key into it's slot and watched the controls light up. "Guys are we ready?"
Lance's face popped up on the monitor. "Look who's leading boys!"
Pidge's face popped up next. "We're ready for your command princess."
Hunk's face was last to be appear. "Ready Princess."
She smiled at the team. "What are we waiting for? Let's go!" She pulled the lion forward and headed to space with the rest of the team following her. She opened a new screen for castle control. "Coran we'll contract you as soon as we land on Earth."
He smiled at her and nodded his head, "Of course Princess, Control out."
His screen closed. She put the lion in auto pilot and turned her seat to face Keith. He smiled at her in response. She smiled at him, "thank you Keith."
He looked at her in question, "for what?"
"For involving me and making me feel like I'm part of the team." She replied.
He shook his head and reached forward and smacked helmet gently. "You are part of the team." She blushed and nodded her head, she turned her seat around and kept her eyes on the screen. He chuckled at her, "is there anything you want to ask me? We do have a long flight ahead of us."
She stared down at the controls and spoke softly. "Tell me about your parents."
He reached forward and turned her seat to face him. He reached forward and tilted her chin up so he can see her face. "What do you want to know?"
"Everything. I want to know everything about you." She replied.
He let go of her chin and took her hand and sighed, "my parents were one of the best pilots in GG. I wanted to be just like them. My dad came from a military family, while my mom came from a wealthy family. My parents had met through some friends and fell in love. They both joined the military at the same time, after graduation they got married and had me. My mom's parents basically disowned her and wanted nothing to do with us. I really don't know much about them since my parent's never talked about them. My dad's parents had passed away a little after i was born. I remember growing up and seeing my parents always touching each other and kissing one another. Lance's family lived not that far from me. We grew up together and vowed how we were going to join the GG when we were old enough. I was about 12 when my parent's told me how they had intended to retire from GG and they were taking their last mission. It was a classified mission that they couldn't talk about. They dropped me off at Lance's parents house. My last memory of them is them giving me a hug and telling me how much they loved me. I remember my mom kissing my forehead and my dad ruffling my hair." He stopped and closed his eyes.
She reached forward and cupped his cheek. "If it's too hard for you to talk about, you don't have to."
He opened his eyes and smiled at her. "If you're going to pose as my fiancée, you have to know. I was outside playing with Lance and Sven when a government car pulled up in the driveway. I got excited and thought it was my parents. These two men got out of the car and walked up to the front door. Lance's dad answered the door and spoke to the two men. They handed him an envelope and left. I remember watching his dad stare down at the letter. He looked up with tears in his eyes and called out to me. I quickly ran over to him with Lance and Sven hot on my heels. He got down on one knee and looked me straight in the eyes and told me how my parent's ship was shot down and how they were MIA. He handed me the letter that he had received. Everything blurred, i broke down and cried. He took me in his arms and held me close as we broke down. Lance had ran inside to get his mother."
She took her helmet off, he could see the tears in her eyes. Seeing a tear fall, he reached forward and wiped it away. He gave her a sad smile, "after that I wasn't the same. We joined the academy a little after that. I wanted nothing more but to be first in our class. School before anything. I wanted so badly to become an explorer and maybe one day find them. Lance and Sven have been there with me through everything and I think of them as my brothers. I learned to hide my emotions so no one knows what I'm thinking. I graduated at the top on my class with Sven and Lance right behind me. We were teamed up with Pidge and Hunk and assigned to Arus where i met you."
"Do you regret it?" She asked.
He looked at her in question, "regret what?"
"Getting assigned to Arus," she replied. Seeing the confusion in his eyes, she clarified herself. "You haven't been able to explore the galaxy to look for them because you're station on my planet."
He smiled at her, "I regret nothing. Everything happens for a reason."
She couldn't help herself, she leaned forward and kissed him, he was shocked but closed his eyes and enjoyed the kiss. he could feel the comfort she was giving him from the kiss. Pulling away slowly, they stared into one another's eyes. He spoke softly, "thank you Princess."
She smiled at him, "I think I need a new name."
"How about Ally?" He asked.
"I like that," she replied. She smiled at him.
"GUYS?"
She turned her seat to face the controls. Lance's starred at them. Keith looked over her shoulders, "What's up Lance?"
He smiled at them, "we're T-minus 1 minute before we jump."
Keith nodded his head, "thanks for the heads up." He reached past her and closed the line. He looked down at her, "are you ready for this Ally?"
She smiled at nodded her head. "Never been more ready." She opened the COMM with the team and called out. "Okay boys, in 5 we're going to jump." Keith sat back in his seat and put his belt on. She quickly put her helmet back on. "5...4...3...2...1!" The teamed placed the command in their lions. They felt the jerk as their lions made their jump. After a few minutes the lions came out of their jump and the team looked at their screen in excitement. Earth was now in their view.
He learned forward and opened the link. "Boys we're home. Set designation for Camp Fox base." He typed some sequences into the control and Black made it's descent to Earth. He leaned back in his seat.
She looked over her shoulder, "Ready fiancée?"
He chuckled at her and nodded his head, "ready."
The lions made their decent and safely landed in their designated spot. The team made their exit from their lions. Shielding their eyes from the sunlight, they descended from the lions. She grabbed his arm in uneasiness. He looked down at her and smiled. The group met in the middle of their lions.
"Lance!"
"Pidge!'
"Hunk!"
The group turned in the direction that their names came from. Seeing their families behind fences, they took off sprinting toward them. Allura and Keith exchanged a look. She gave him a smile, "are you okay?"
He looked towards him team who went all surrounded by their families and smiled. "I am." He looked down at her, "I have you here with me. I'll be fine." He pulled her forward. The couple walked slowly up to families.
Mark McCain watched the couple heading towards them. He looked at his son, "who's that with Keith?"
Lance pried himself from his mothers arm. "Keith can introduce her to you."
Chantel smirked at her brother, "is that Keithy's girlfriend?" Seeing her brother smile, her mouth dropped. "Oh my god, it is?" She smacked her brother, he yelled in pain. She glared at him, "why didn't you tell me?"
He rubbed his arm and glared at her in annoyance. "It's none of your business!"
She snorted at him, "of course it's my business! He's my brother."
Mary McCain shook her head at her kids, "enough! Even after all these years you two don't know how to act like adults." They dropped their heads in shame. She glanced at her husband, "this is your fault." He smiled at her.
Keith walked up to the McCain family and smiled. He reached out to shake Mark's hand, but he wouldn't have none of that. He yanked the man into his arms and gave him a strong hug. Allura was surprised to have him pulled from her. Mark spoke, his voice breaking a little, "welcome home son."
Keith closed his eyes and hugged him back. Both men pulled away and smiled at one another. Mary pulled Mark out of the way and gave him a big hug. He returned the hug. Next Chantel gave him a hug, she looked over his shoulder to the woman standing behind him awkwardly. She pulled away and motioned with her head, "who's that?"
Keith turned and reached for Allura who quickly took his hand. She smiled up at him, he turned to look at his adoptive family. "This is my fiancée, Ally."
All their mouths dropped in shock. Mary and Chantel screamed in excitement. They yanked her away from Keith and gave her a big hug. She looked at Keith and Lance for help. Both men laughed at her expression. Mark sighed at them, "poor girl is going to be scared off by them."
Both woman glared him in annoyance. Lance came to her rescue, "mom, please let Ally go. She can't breath." They both let her go.
Mary gave her an apologetic look. Allura smiled at them. They reached up and removed their helmets. The McCain's mouths dropped in shock. Ally looked at them in uncertainty. She rushed to Keith's side. Keith and Lance exchanged worried looks. Chantel was the first to come to, "oh my god Keith, she beautiful!" She glanced at her brother, "apparently she has good taste in brothers."
Lance glared at his sister in annoyance, "fuck you Chantel!" She flipped him off in response which made him even madder.
Mary grabbed both of their ears, both kids started crying and struggling. Allura looked at Keith in wonder, "is this normal on Earth?"
Keith looked down at her, "it is for the McCains."
Mark sighed out, "nothing ever changes." He looked at Allura and smiled, he stuck a hand out to her. "It's a pleasure to meet you Ally." Allura reached forward to shake it, but was pulled into his arms. He gave he a big hug and chuckled out, "we're a hugging family."
Pulling away from Mark, Ally gave him a shy smile. "The boys talk about you guys often."
Mark slapped Keith on the shoulder and laughed. Keith groaned out in pain. Ally giggled at his expression. Mark gave her a serious look and smiled at her. "It's really an honor to meet you Princess Allura."
Her eyes widen in shock. She looked at Keith in shock. He smiled and rubbed his shoulder. "He knows Ally, I had to let him know what was going on. Only him and Marshall Graham know you're here. We have a meeting with him later this evening."
Mark coughed to get their attention, he motioned to his family. "They have no idea who you really are and we'll keep it that way." He smiled at her. "Welcome to Earth." He threw his arm around Keith and Ally and pulled them close. "Come on kids, let's get moving."
Lance glanced over to his dad, "finally! I could use some backup from these crazy females!"
Both woman glared at him in annoyance. Mark laughed his son and muttered to the couple, "some things never change." He looked over to Keith, "we have some stuff we need to talk about."
Keith nodded his head in agreement, "we do."
"KEEEEEEEIIIIIIIITTTTTTTHHHHH!"
Everyone looked in the direction that his name was called out from and found Hunk jumping up and down trying to get their attention. He pulled away from Mark and pulled Ally with him. "We're gonna go meet Hunk and Pidge's families real quick." Mark watched the couple grab Lance and head over to their teammates family.
Mary walked up to her husband and smiled. "They've grown so much." Mark threw his arm over her shoulder and smiled. She smiled up at her husband, "did you tell him?" Mark shook his head in response. She looked forward and smiled, "it's going to change his life when he finds out."
Mark nodded his head and looked down at her. "It is, but he still has us here."
Chantel walked up to her parents, "what are you two talking about?"
Mary pulled her daughter to her and held her close, "it's nothing you need to worry about my love."
Chantel looked at her parents in question, but decided not to say anything. The family watched the Voltron Force interact with the other families and smiled.
What does mark need to talk to Keith about?
