It was white.
"Are we dead?" Hunk asked nervously as he, Keith, Pidge, Lance, and Allura looked around.
"Where are we?" Lance asked, as Hunk quickly turned to Keith and started tapping his leader on the shoulder rapidly as he was looking at something.
"What Hunk?" Keith asked, almost irritatedly. "What is it?"
"Shiro?" Pidge asked. "You're here too?"
"I know, it's confusing." Shiro blinked as he looked around.
"Back to original question though." Lance frowned as they all stood in a group.
"You're in Oriande."
The woman's voice had the team turn around to see a woman walking towards them. Allura gasped.
"I know you!" At the reveal, everyone looked at her. "You're Queen Daleyza."
The Queen smiles. "I am."
"My mother told me stories about you." Allura added. "She also told me that you've passed on."
"I have." Daleyza said.
"Question!" Lance pushed his way forward. "Why do you look like Sakura?"
Daleyza looked at each of the team, her gaze landing on Shiro. "I am her mother."
That shocked everyone.
"WHAT!" A floored Lance, cried out.
"I don't understand." Shrio's eyes were wide.
"When Oriande was young, I had a child." Daleyza explained. "And that child is Sakura."
Lance rubbed his head. "Still confused."
"As soon as Sakura was born, I knew she was in danger." Daleyza continued to explain. "Dangerous people came for her, because of the power that grew and continues to grow even to this day. And after three months of living here in Oriande, I knew I had to make a choice. And I knew that Planet Earth is a peaceful planet."
"It was." Lance muttered under his breath, then grunted when Pidge elbowed him.
"Sorry about him." She apologized, and the Queen smiled.
"He's fine."
"Ok, Lance is not the only one confused." Shiro said. "Are you telling me, that my sister is not my sister?"
Queen Daleyza turned to him. "I sent Sakura to be reborn on Earth, it took my whole life source to make sure she was reborn on Earth. And with help from White Lion, Sakura got to be reborn on Earth." She took a step towards Shiro. "Takashi, Sakura still is your sister." She looked around at everyone. "I hope this doesn't change anything about Sakura."
"Of course not." Shiro said with a shake of his head.
"Nothing has changed." Keith added with his arms folded.
The Queen smiled. "Thank you both." She turned to the others.
"What they said!" Pidge and Hunk said in union, and Lance nodded rapidly, while Allura also nodded.
"Thank you all." The Queen smiled. "All of you are really true friends."
The Paladins soon started to see white, and then black.

Keith slowly awoke, he blinked a few times before he could see straight.
"Keith!" Sakura jumped on him causing him to grunt, but he smiled.
"Hey."
Sakura pulled away to now stand next to the bed. "What's the big idea of scaring me!?" She scolded with anger.
"Excuse me?" He asked as he used his hands to push himself up, so he was now sitting. "You're the one who started it."
"Nuh uh. You started it! You're the one who was willingly to sacrifice yourself, by flying straight into a ticking time bomb!" She pokes his arm.
"To save you, my friends and this universe I'd do it again!"
"You didn't have to fly straight towards it, you also could have thought of something else!"
"There was nothing else to think about!"
From the open door, Kolivan and Krolia slowly backed out and stood in the hallway. "I think we should give them a some time to work things out." Kolivan said, making Krolia nod.
"I think so."

Romelle smiled as she poked her head into Hunk's room. "Hi Hunk, how are you feeling?" She asks gently.
He nods with a smile. "I'm good, thanks."
"Are you feeling up for some company?" She asks gently.
"That's sweet of you, but don't you want to go visit Allura?" He asked with a frown.
"Just go in sweet pee." A voice said before Romelle was gently pushed into the room, the door closed behind her and Hunk frowned.
"Hey, who did that?"
Romelle smiled. "I already visited Allura." She took a lock of her hair and ran her fingers though it like a comb.
"Oh." He returns the smile. "Thanks! It is good to see you."
She blushed a little. "Since you're up to it." Romelle started for the door. "I have something for you just right outside, and it's better then food."
Hunk frowned. "Better then food?" He shook his head. "Nothing is better then food!"
"Not even your own family?" Romelle asked as she opened the door and Hunk's family walked in.
"Hunk!" Hunk's mother beamed with tears. "My baby!" She hurried over to the bed, throwing her arms around his neck.
"Mom?" He was startled, then his smile brightened. "Mom! Dad! Everybody!" He tears up. "Romelle you're right! This is better then food!"
Romelle smiles as she stands to the side, watching with a smile with tears as she misses her own family, watching as Hunk scoops his niece and nephew in his arms, hugging both. The Altean slowly walks out of the room to let the family have their reunion.

After a few more hours. Sakura walked into the kitchen to find Hunk and Lance.
"Wait, wait, wait, that's right. You said you were gonna ask Allura on a date." Hunk was saying.
"A date with the Princess?" Sakura said with a smile as she walked up to the table. "Lance, that's great!" She beamed as she sat down next to Hunk and smiled at Lance.
"You asked her, didn't you? Oh, and she said no." Hunk frowned. "Oh, oh man. Here I am, rubbing your face in it."
"She didn't say no." Lance continued to look into his mug. "I, well, I never asked her."
"Oh Lance." Sakura frowned, disappointed.
"You chickened out?" Hunk asked.
"I was going to ask her, but she's been spending, like, every day in the med bay. Maybe, maybe this just isn't the right time."
"That's a lame excuse." Sakura said, folding her arms.
"Lance, it's the only time." Hunk replied. "After tomorrow, we're back in space fighting the Galra."
"Yeah, there is no other time, literally." Sakura added.
Hunk bobbed his head. "You're asking her today, and that is final, young man." He said in a fatherly tone.
"Lance, this is your last and only chance." Sakura added.

A few hours later, everyone had came into the conference room for a last briefing before launch the following day.
"Everyone, welcome to our final briefing here on Earth." Shiro said. "It's been several months since we began to rebuild, and tomorrow we launch and continue our liberation efforts across all planets still under Galra rule. Commander Holt, what's the latest from your team?"
"We've confirmed that there's still no Galra activity within several galaxies of the Milky Way. It appears Earth was Sendak's only target." Sam explained.
"Where are we with Earth's defenses?" Shiro asked.
"I've finished my check-in with all the garrison facilities around the globe. All defenses are up and running. Earth has everything in place to keep itself safe." Keith answered.
"Great. And Atlas preparations?" Shiro asked.
"Repairs to the IGF-Atlas were completed early last week and it has since passed every test protocol we've put it through." Veronica said.
"Good. Any updates on the Altean pilot?" Shiro asked, looking at Allura who shook her head.
"Still unresponsive. But she could wake any day now, perhaps if we had a little more time, we could find out who sent her."
"There's no way to know when or if she'll regain consciousness." Keith told her. "We can't wait any longer. We need to get back out there and end this war before the Galra can reorganize."
"Keith's right." Shiro agrees. "We'll be in constant communication with Earth. When the Altean wakes up, we'll know. I have one more item to discuss. It's our last night on Earth and we've got a lot of hard work ahead of us. We may not be back home for years. So I'm ordering you to take some time for yourselves. Be with the ones you love. You've earned it."
As everyone started to walk out of the room, Sakura walked over to Lance. "This is your only chance. You need to take it." She told him.

Sakura walks down a hallway.
"Sakura!" Keith's voice called from behind her, causing her to stop and turn to him.
"Hey, what's up?" She watches as he walks up to her.
"Are we still good?" He asks, stuffing his hands into the pockets of his Garrison uniform. "I mean we were arguing pretty good this morning."
Smiling she reaches up and kisses him. "Oh course we are, hot head." She pokes his chest with her finger.
"I've got a surprise for you." He said as he guides her down the hallway, his left arm wrapped around her waist.
"Oh?" She smiles. "What are you up too?"
He kisses the side of her head. "That's part of the surprise."
"I should be worried, last time you surprised me, you soaked me with a super soaker."
Keith laughs. "We're not kids anymore. Babe, don't worry. Besides you got me back by dumping a water bucket full of ice water on top of me."
Sakura giggled. "Guilty."

A few hours later, Leah sits Indian Style in the middle of Keith and Sakura's bed with Cosmo was the two watch clothing after clothing being thrown out of a closet.
"Nothing in here is no good!" Sakura cries as she sits in the middle of the closet floor. "It's out of date or it doesn't fit me anymore!" She cries.
"Oh now honey, don't panic." Leah said gently. "There has to be something for you."
"I'm doomed!" Sakura wails, and starts crying. "It's too late to go to the new mall now!"
Inside the closet, the mirror shimmers for a long moment, before Queen Daleyza appeared and she walks out of it, and Sakura's crying stops.
"Dry your tears, my love."
Sakura wipes her eyes. "I don't know what to do."
"Stand, and I'll show you." Her mother smiles.
Still wiping her tears, Sakura slowly stands, her mother waves her hand in front of her and light surrounds Sakura, when the light dies down she turns to look in the mirror and gasps.
"Mother." She breaths. "I, I don't know what to say."
"It's perfect! It'll render that handsome man of yours speechless." Daleyza smiled.

A few more hours later, Sakura looks up at the building in front of her. "Are you sure I'm not over dressed?" She asks with worry.
"No way!" Leah smiles, waving her hand. "Go! Stop making him wait any longer!"
Taking a deep breath, Sakura picked up the lower part of her dress and starts to walk up the steps towards City Hall.
Keith had been rubbing the back of his neck. He's wearing a deep red shirt under a black flannel with black pants and black shoes. When he turned around, seeing Sakura now standing at the top of the stairs, he froze.
"Whoa."
She smiles with a blush as she walks over to him. "I hope I'm not too late."
"Never too late." He breaths. "You look beautiful."
She continues to blush as she reaches to fix his collar of his flannel. "And you're looking pretty handsome."
"Hey!" Shiro's cheerful voice calls. "Are we late?"
The two turn to see Leah, she's hugging Shiro's human arm with a smile.
"Right on time actually." Keith said.
Shiro nods as he pulls Leah with him as he walks up. "Then let's do this."
"I still don't." Sakura started with a frown and her arms folded, but then she gasped. "No way." She looks at Keith. "Mission?"
He nods. "Complete." He gestures to City Hall.
Shiro thought Sakura was going to faint, he walks up to her. "We shouldn't stay out here, just standing around."
She nods. "Right."
Keith holds out his arm for her. "Are you ready?"
"I am!" She quickly took his arm and together they walk towards the double glass doors.
