A/N: This chapter WILL be long. Sorry!!!!!!!! Also JUST UPDATED!!!
Chapter 5: Confessions (Finally!!)
Allura and Keith had been engaged for three days and two nights by now. They hadn't told anyone else and no one knew. Well, except for Allura's mice (A/N: Couldn't leave them out!!!) and the woman. The woman finally told the couple it was about time the others knew. No matter what their reactions.
"Keith..."
"Hmm?"
"What if Coren doesn't approve? He may not marry us and force me to marry a prince and not you....I couldn't bear it if that happened....!!"
"Allura...darling..hush...if Coren really loves you and wants only your happiness, he will accept me. "
Allura sighed. "Your right."
Keith smiled at her and held her hand. The woman in front of them smiled and walked to the dinning room. Before they entered the woman turned around.
"Keith...Allura...I can only tell you that the important people will support you. No matter what happens or what others say....trust in yourselves and your love. A lot of people don't feel the love that is so strong as you two have. Cherish it and know that you have a treasure. Now, put up your smiles."
The woman opened the door and there was quiet. Keith let Allura's hand momentarily go until they sat down. The trio went and sat down at the long table. The princess was seated at the head of the table. Keith at her right, Coren at her left than the woman sat next to him, and from her sat Lance and Pidge. Beside Keith Hunk sat sulkingly. Hunk wanted to sit next to the woman but Lance always beat him to it.
Allura announced dinner and the team ate In silence. After dinner the woman sent a look to Keith. Than Keith finally cleared his throat.
"I have an announcement to make." Keith stood up and Allura stood as well. All eyes were upon them. No one spoke. Finally the woman got fed up.
"Keith, what is it?"
"Umm....Allura....that is the princess and I...."
The woman got exasperated. She closed her eyes and concentrated and spoke to Keith through his mind.
'Why are you taking so long?'
'I'm....'
'Nervous?'
'Yea.'
'Don't be...Just tell them. You're their COMMANDER! Act like on dope!!!'
With that she disconnected with Keith and looked at him.
"Allura and I are getting married." Was all he said.
It took a full ten seconds before it hit everyone. The V Force were cheering and laughing and congratulating the couple. Coren sat quietly, and Nanny was crying muttering how 'her' princess could marry someone other than a prince. Than Coren stood up and walked out of the dinning room.
"I don't think he approves Keith." Allura said with tears shinning in her eyes.
Keith was getting angry. Didn't Coren wanted Allura to be happy?!! Before Keith could follow Coren the woman stood.
"I will talk to Coren. I don't think he's upset about your engagement. Only...disappointed that he didn't know first."
Allura and Keith nodded. They hope that Coren will come around.
(Outside in the balcony)
Coren stood and looked to the stars.
"King Alfor...What do I do? Make her marry someone else? Bless their union? I thought there was only brother and sister relationship between them. I guess I was wrong."
"I guess you were." Came the voice from the shadows.
Coren turned around. It was the woman.
"Why are you here miss?"
"To help you understand"
"Understand what?"
"Their love."
Coren sighed. "There's nothing to explain."
"Coren...Allura and Keith love each other. I caught Keith practicing proposing for Allura in the hallway to her room. He was horrible. So I helped him. He didn't want to tell you because he was afraid that you wouldn't approve of their union. They didn't want to take a chance. And they wanted some time to get used to being engaged because if they told you, you would insist on a wedding soon. They wanted some time together. Alone."
Coren looked at the woman thoughtfully. "However, the princess..."
"Loves Keith with all her heart and thinks you are upset at her for not telling you first."
"But that isn't true!" Coren was aghast. Surely the princess didn't believe that?!
"But she believes it Coren. Go. Make it known to her that you love her and are happy with their union. She wouldn't marry him if you truly wished she wouldn't. No matter how much her heart breaks."
"Your right." As Coren walked out he stopped in front of the lady. "Thank you." Than he walked out.
The woman smiled. Then the smile faded.
"I'm so sorry Coren, but your princess's heart may be broken soon. But it's for the best..."
The woman stared out to the stars and felt tears in her eyes. She was surprised. She hadn't cried since the day her family was killed. Just than, the woman heard something and looked behind her. It was just Lance.
"Hey, what are you doing out here by yourself?"
"I was talking to Coren. Now I'm thinking to myself."
"About what?"
"About my past."
Lance frowned. The woman hadn't even told her name to them yet. But...there was something that Lance was....drawn too....something that he couldn't put his finger on. She looked so beautiful though, with the moon and stars kissing her face and figure. Lance could only stare at her.
"When will you tell us your name?"
"Soon Lance."
Lance stepped closer. He was touching her arm he was so close. The woman looked up at him. He looked so much like Hunk at times. But Lance didn't kiss like Hunk did.
Flashback
The woman was in the gardens when Hunk came to her with flowers he just picked.
"Thank you Hunk."
"Uh....I-It was-sn't any tr-trouble."
"Hunk...Do I make you nervous?"
"Huh? No miss! Not at all!"
"Than why do you act so nervous to me?"
"Because...."Hunk couldn't think of a way to say it. Plus, it was embarrassing!
"Please Hunk....tell me?"
Hunk couldn't resist those big grey eyes. They were begging him to tell her why he acted like a young teenager out on his first date.
"Umm...well....because....because....I..uh...like...you.."
The woman smiled. "That's all? You shouldn't be so nervous because of that Hunk."
Hunk smiled and leaned in closer. "I know but I am..."
Then they noticed just how close they were. The woman looked up at him and Hunk looked down at her. She was so petite. Hunk couldn't imagine Lotor's cruel hands and mind on her. It made Hunk fits ball up when he thought of Lotor getting her.
Hunk leaned down towards her, without knowing what he was doing. And soon he felt her soft warm lips on his. This surprised both of them but neither moved. Instead they deepened it until they broke for air.
"Uhh.....I....uhh....need....uhh....to....ummm.....help Nanny. C yah later!" With that Hunk ran as fast as he could.
The woman stared after him bewildered at what just happened.
End of Flashback
Lance looked at the woman that a few days ago, he wouldn't even be this close to him.
"I have a question."
"Sure. Ask."
"Do you like me or Hunk more?"
"Huh?"
"Hunk said that he kissed you. The day after I kissed you. So who do you like better?"
The woman stared at him with her mouth opened. Than she smiled that smile that made Lance's heart stop and than race.
"I don't know yet. I like both of you so much."
"Than I need to help you don't I?"
With that, Lance grabbed her by the waist and spun her so she was chest to chest with him. She put her hands on his shoulders and looked up at him.
"Lance...?"
Lance smiled. "Shhh. Don't want to spoil the moment hmm?" Than Lance leaned in and kissed her deeply. The woman opened up for him and he kissed her more.
They would have stayed like that for a long time, but Lotor had other plans.
An explosion was heard above the castle. It shook the two apart. Lance could see Doom ships coming in and heard the alarms going off.
"Stay by Coren. I have to go help the others."
"Okay..." The woman was breathless and dazed.
Lance took the woman into the control room where the others were. Only Hunk noticed that Lance was dragging the woman and the woman looked like she been thoroughly kissed. Hunk's jealousy rose. But this was no time for jealousy. He'd speak to Lance later about it.
"What's going on?" Lance said as he entered.
"Lotor's back. He said he will stop as soon as we surrender the woman." Coren said.
The woman looked at the screen.
"Where does he want me to meet him?"
There was dead silence. Everyone looked at the woman. She looked at them.
"If I go he'll stop right? So I'll go."
Lance was the first to speak. "Like hell you will!"
This surprised everyone. Lance said a few days ago he wanted to surrender the woman....didn't he?
Keith spoke up, "Look miss. We're pilots and fighter. We won't give you up. No matter what the cost. Now stay by Coren and we'll be back."
With that the team cheered their 'yeah's and ran to their lion control thingys (A/N: They slide on those things that lead them to their lions, what are they called??)
Lance stayed behind a second and looked at the woman.
"Don't go anywhere."
"I won't."
Lance kissed her again than ran to his lion.
The woman looked at the screen than running left the control room. Unnoticed by Coren who was too busy talking to the V Force and Nanny who just walked in.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Pidge yelled before his lion was hit by one of Doom ships guns.
"Pidge! Are you okay?"
"Yeah captain."
"Okay...this isn't working. We need to form Voltron!" Keith yelled.
Just than, a Robeast with three heads, scaley skin (like a fish) and a tail that was like a scorpions came out and grabbed the blue lion, with the princess in it.
"Allura! No!" Keith got panicked.
"Keith! Help me!" Allura shouted.
Than Lotor appeared.
"Give me the woman and I will release Allura."
Keith's knuckles turned white. He wanted...no...needed Allura back but he couldn't give another life for he?
Then Lotor laughed and an electrical shock went through the blue lion. Allura's scream could be heard through all the lions. The team tried to come close to the Robeast but, the Doom ships fired at them. They couldn't get to her. Keith had to think fas.t If he didn't Lotor would either get the woman or Allura.
"GIVE ME THE WOMAN OR I WILL KEEP ALLURA!"
Keith looked helplessly at the blue lion. Allura's fragile voice could be heard in the background.
"Keith...please don't give up....please don't give her up....don't give up on me...please..."
Keith was about to order the team to destroy the Doom ships when the purple lion came out and blew up the Doom ships.
"What the hell?!" Lotor shouted at the same time Lance did. (A/N: Freaky huh??!!)
The purple lion turned around and fired at the Robeast who let Allura go. Than the purple lion swooped down and caught the blue lion before it hit the ground. It turned around and fired at more Doom ships that blew up.
"Voltron Force! Finish off that Robeast! And hurry up!!" The secret pilot yelled.
"Keith and the other four pilots surrounded the Robeast and fired at the spot where the Purple lion's pilot fired at. After a few dozen missiles, the Robeast blew up and Lotor seemed to be retreated (again!!) with shouts of vengeance and returning later.
The team turned their lions around and looked, tense, at the purple lion that still held the blue lion.
"Follow me."
The purple lion went to the castle, and gently dropped the blue lion than set the purple lion next to it.
Keith set his lion across the blue and ran to the blue lion. Allura was just gaining consciences ness when Keith entered her cockpit.
"Keith!"
"Allura!...are you okay?!"
"Yes my love."
The two embraced and held each other for the longest time. They broke apart and Allura noticed the tears running down her face. Keith smiled and wiped them off. Than he remembered the Purple lion.
"Allura, the purple lion rescued you. I think the pilot may still be here. Come on. We need some answers."
"Your right."
Before Keith exited he looked at Allura.
"Allura?"
"Yes Keith?"
Keith leaned down and kissed her gently. "I love you."
Allura smiled, "I love you too."
When the exited they same the four guys of the v force watching the Purple lion pilot, whom just stood there. When they jumped down from the lion the pilot looked at them.
"It's time you all knew the truth. You must know for the major battle coming."
"What battle?" Allura asked.
The pilot turned towards her. Keith tensed up....they didn't know for sure if the pilot was friendly or not.
"The battle that will decide if Lotor rules the universe. Or if there will be peace."
With that the pilot took off the helmet and the team gasped.
"You're the woman we rescued!" Pidge shouted.
The team could just stare at her.
"My name isn't 'woman' or 'the woman'. My name is Leona. The Seventh Princess" She said.

"Your right." As Coren walked out he stopped in front of the lady. "Thank you." Than he walked out.
The woman smiled. Then the smile faded.

"Umm...well....because....because....I..uh...like...you.."
The woman smiled. "That's all? You shouldn't be so nervous because of that Hunk."
Hunk smiled and leaned in closer. "I know but I am..."

"I have a question."
"Sure. Ask."

"Lotor's back. He said he will stop as soon as we surrender the woman." Coren said.
The woman looked at the screen.
"Where does he want me to meet him?"
There was dead silence. Everyone looked at the woman. She looked at them.
"If I go he'll stop right? So I'll go."
Lance was the first to speak. "Like hell you will!"
This surprised everyone. Lance said a few days ago he wanted to surrender the woman....didn't he?
Keith spoke up, "Look miss. We're pilots and fighter. We won't give you up. No matter what the cost. Now stay by Coren and we'll be back."

"AHHHHHHHH!" Pidge yelled before his lion was hit by one of Doom ships guns.
"Pidge! Are you okay?"
"Yeah captain."
"Okay...this isn't working. We need to form Voltron!" Keith yelled.
Just than, a Robeast with three heads, scaley skin (like a fish) and a tail that was like a scorpions came out and grabbed the blue lion, with the princess in it.
"Allura! No!" Keith got panicked.
"Keith! Help me!" Allura shouted.
Than Lotor appeared.

Keith looked helplessly at the blue lion. Allura's fragile voice could be heard in the background.
"Keith...please don't give up....please don't give her up....don't give up on me...please..."
Keith was about to order the team to destroy the Doom ships when the purple lion came out and blew up the Doom ships.
"What the hell?!" Lotor shouted at the same time Lance did. (A/N: Freaky huh??!!)
The purple lion turned around and fired at the Robeast who let Allura go. Than the purple lion swooped down and caught the blue lion before it hit the ground. It turned around and fired at more Doom ships that blew up.
