The scene faded away and as the next scene materialized, we find that the small band of main characters have left the Pegasus 69 and were headed out across the desert landscape of Pollux. Lotor walked along with a pink and white umbrella in his hand. Yurak followed close behind him, pulling a luggage cart. Merla and Cossack brought up the rear, carrying a large trunk.
"Your Highness, please, slow down," Yurak begged. "I'm getting sand up my ass."
"Geez. I hope he didn't forget anything," Cossack remarked out loud.
"All right, wait a minute, Cossack, put it down," Merla ordered. The two weary travelers dropped the large trunk onto the sand. "What the hell's in this thing?" Merla opened the trunk and pulled out a huge hair dryer. "What's this? I said take only what you need to survive."
Lotor walked over to Merla and placed his hands on his hips. "It's my industrial strength hair dryer, and I can't live without it."
Merla became visibly upset. "Okay, prince. That's it. The fairy-tale is over. Welcome to real-life. You want this hot-air machine, you carry it." Merla angrily dropped the hair dryer onto the sand at Lotor's feet.
"You pick that up!" Lotor demanded.
"You…pick that up," Merla stated in a mocking tone as she pointed to the hair dryer.
"How dare you, you insolent whore! Nobody talks to me that way. Nobody!" Lotor yelled at the top of his lungs.
Merla grinned. "Well, what have we got here? Will you look at him?"
"Oooooo," responded Cossack.
"Those cold eyes, those dark blue cheeks, those quivering, pale lips," Merla said. "You know something prince you are ugly when you're angry."
Yurak eyes widened. "Uh-oh."
"That's it," Lotor said. "You and your dumbass co-pilot are f..."
Cossack chose this time to interrupt the quarreling couple. "Please, if I may, it's going to be very dark soon, so I suggest we find a place to camp for the night."
"Come, Prince Lotor," Yurak beckoned.
Yurak and Lotor walked away, pulling the cart behind them. Merla and Cossack picked up the now empty trunk and followed Lotor and Yurak across the desert, leaving the hair dryer behind.
"See, its lighter," Merla remarked.
"Oh yeah; this is best," Cossack remarked. "I could carry two or three of these."
Aboard Lionball 1, Allura and Keith stood behind video technician Jeff, who sat at one of the radar screens.
Allura was sipping on a pink daiquiri. "Have you found them yet?"
"No, Mistress Allura. They're still not on the scanners," Jeff reported.
"Well, keep looking for them." Allura took another sip of her daiquiri.
Keith suddenly turned away from Jeff and looked at his superior. "Pardon me, ma'am. I have an idea." Keith then turned his attention back to Jeff. "Jeff, get me the Blu-Ray edition of Lionballs-the Movie."
"Yes, sir." Jeff stood and walked over to a bookcase. As he searched for the requested movie, quietly read off the names of the other Blu-Ray discs in the ship's library. "Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Madman's LV Series, Madman's VV Series, Voltron Force…"
"Commander Keith, may I speak with you, please?" Allura asked.
Keith walked over to Allura. "Yes, ma'am?"
Allura spoke softly into Keith's ear. "How could there be a Blu-Ray of Lionballs-the Movie? We're still in the middle of negotiating distribution rights."
"That's true, ma'am, but there's been a new breakthrough in digital video marketing," Keith told her.
"There has?" Allura looked confused.
"Yes; Instant Video Streaming. Video pirates leak the footage online before the distribution rights have been negotiated."
"Naaaaa," Allura said dismissively.
Jeff was still reading the names of the discs as he searched for Lionballs. "Abbott and Costello meet Voltron, The Voltron Force Gone Wild, Fleet of Doom, Back Door Princesses, Voltron: The Third Dimension: The Special Edition…Here it is, sir; Lionballs." Jeff grabbed the box and rushed back to his station.
"Good work, Jeff. Punch it up," Keith said.
Jeff inserted the disc and started the movie. The screen came to life, displaying the Galactic Bureau of Investigation (GBI) warning.
"This much too early; prepare to fast-forward!" Keith stated.
"Preparing to fast-forward," Jeff replied.
"Fast-forward!" Keith ordered.
"Fast-forwarding, sir" Jeff responded.
Allura stood quietly behind Jeff, as previous scenes from the movie appeared on the monitor.
Jeff fast forwarded the movie through the opening scene of Allura coming onto the bridge of Lionball 1, the preposterous speed scene and a scene which featured Allura and the cross-eyed Lance exiting a utility closet, straightening their clothes and Allura wiping her mouth.
Allura's eyes got big. "Nnnnno. Go past this, past this part. In fact, never play this again." She sipped her daiquiri, trying to act nonchalant*
"Try here. Stop," Keith ordered.
The movie resumed its normal playback speed and showed Keith and Allura looking at a monitor and watching themselves.
Allura looked at the camera then she turned back to the monitor. The monitor showed Allura's actions at exactly the same time.
Keith looked at the camera as Allura looked back at the monitor, then he looked back at the monitor."
Allura waved her hand up and down behind Jeff's head. Allura watched herself perform the same action on the monitor.
Allura turned the towards the camera once again. "What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?"
Keith tried to explain the situation to Allura. "Now. You're looking at now, ma'am. Everything that happens now, is happening now," he concluded as he pointed to the monitor.
"What happened to then?" Allura asked.
"We passed then?" Keith told her.
"When?" Allura wanted to know.
"Just now. We're at now, now," Keith explained.
"Go back to then," Allura told him.
"When?" Keith asked.
"Now," Allura replied.
"Now?" Keith wanted to know.
"Now," Allura said.
"I can't," Keith told her.
"Why," Allura asked.
"We missed it," Keith explained.
"When?" Allura asked Keith.
"Just now," Keith stated.
"When will then be now?" Allura asked.
As Allura and Keith were going back and forth, Jeff rewound the tape and stopped at the point when Merla, Cossack, Lotor, and Yurak are walking through the desert.
"Soon," Keith said excitedly.
"How soon?" Allura asked nervously.
Jeff spoke up to get the attention of his superior. "Ma'am."
"What?" Allura responded.
"We've identified their location," Jeff stated.
"Where?" Allura asked him.
"It's the Planet Pollux," Jeff answered.
"Good work," Keith told Jeff. "Set a course, and prepare for
our arrival."
"When?" asked Allura.
"Nineteen-hundred hours, sir," Jeff responded.
"By high-noon, tomorrow, they will be our prisoners," Keith said with enthusiasm.
"Whoooooo?" Allura yelled with such power that as she stretched her arms out, her breasts popped out of the black corset that she was wearing.
