(Disclaimer time! Nyo! I own nothing here. Well, I do own NaTal, but
hey, I did create her.)

Allura walked into the sitting room, looking around for someone or something.
"What're ya looking for?" Lance asked.
"More like who am I looking for. Has anyone seen Keith at all?"
After the respective nos from Hunk and Pidge, Lance started chuckling.
"Hey, what's so funny?" Pidge asked getting up and facing Lance.
"I'm just surprised that he didn't tell you guys before he left for the academy."
"Why's he going there?" Hunk asked, confused.
"He was headed for the Alliance military academy to check out some unusual activity near there."
"He definatly needs some time off if he thinks there's something sneaky going on at the academy," Allura laughed.
"Finally, somebody who agrees with me!" Lance chuckled.
NaTal is walking through the halls of Castle Doom, looking very determined and upset at the same time.
She had always hated dresses and couldn't understand why her father insisted that she wear such things. Tugging at the bodice, she made a mental note to find out just who had the bright idea to invent lace and have their descendants declared enemies of every Drule that ever would be.
She'd gotten one of the slaves to tell her that her brother's room was still where it had always been. He was going to find out that she was here soon enough, why shouldn't she be the one to tell him?
She came that same familiar door from all those years ago. Completely forgetting to knock, she turned the knob and pushed the door open.
The site that greeted her was her brother, still half asleep and just dragging himself out of bed. She simply stood there, stupefied, staring at the man in front of her. That was when he noticed that she was standing there.
"What the hell!?" he screamed, throwing a book at the rapidly closing door.
"Well, some things never change, he's a big grouch in the morning," she muttered to herself, trudging off down the hall.
Keith walks into the monitoring room for the second time that day, this time he has a worried look on his face.
"Hey, what's up?" Pidge asked, looking up from the screen he was reading.
"I found out what was going on at the Academy," he said quietly.
"And?" everyone in the room asked at once.
"Natal went home."
"Wait a minute! She was that drule girl who hexed you, wasn't she?" Lance asked, chuckling at the memory.
"Thank you for bringing up that painful endeavor, Lance," he growled. "Anyway, she was going back home. I still don't know why a drule was enrolled there in the first place." He pause a moment, as if he was remembering something. "Hey, wait a minute! What do you mean 'that drule girl who hexed you'? You two were going out last I knew!"
Lance did his best to ignore the looks everyone was giving him.
"We had detention together a few times, big deal," he shrugged coolly.
"A few times? The two of you were in there together almost every day!" Keith shot back.
"I didn't hear you complaining when I talked her into removing that hex!"
"May I ask just what got you hexed in the first place?" Allura asked, giggling.
"Well Keith here was trying to make a stink bomb behind the chemistry teacher's back. NaTal was paired with him for the experiment, and she tried to tell him that he was going to make it go off, but he wouldn't listen," Lance started with a smirk on his face.
"Do we have to go into this?" Keith hissed.
"What happened next?" Hunk asked, fighting back a chuckle.
"From what my sources tell me, it blew-up in his face and they both got detention."
Everyone but Keith burst out laughing.
"She hexed him for making her smell bad?" Pidge asked, trying to control his breathing.
"No, she hexed me for what I said to get her to shut up. I asked her what a girl knew about making a stink bomb. Little did I know that she was the one responsible for the mess hall incident."
The rest of the guys on the team gave a groan of recognition, Allura gave a small titter.
"I envy you guys sometimes, you've met some amazing people at the academy," Allura said wistfully.
"And that girl was one of the more interesting people there," Lance added with a smirk.
Hee, fun. This is going to be a fun story, nyo? Well, continue to enjoy!
