News of Prince Keith and Lance's wedding had reached beyond Altea. In the desert outside the kingdom, a man climbed over a sand dune and stood to watch the palace. He was dressed a pair of black pants, brown boots, grey shirt with loose sleeves, a black belt around the waist, a blue hooded cloak with a loose fabric that could cover the mouth and nose
Behind him, groups of camels climbed over the dune, huge baskets on either side of them, attached to the saddle. Out of one of the baskets, a man popped his head out. The cloaked man walked up and shoved his head down back into the basket and closed the lid. The group continued to the gates of Altea, where several travelers were entering the gate.
Kolivan watched the people enter the gate and flood into Altea. Another guard by the name of Ulaz, was on the other end watching as well. The pair were watching to see for anything suspicious, especially on a day like today.
"Oooh, in all my years, never have I seen the streets so full of bustle and hustle and assorted commotion," a peddler commented as he carried a large sack over his back. Kolivan turned to the man and sighed.
"Our Prince is to wed," Kolivan commented. The man nodded.
"Oooh, wonderful! And who's the lucky prince?" the man asked in curiosity.
"Not a prince at all," Kolivan spit out with a glare. "Just a no account street rat," Kolivan growled out as he crossed his arms. The man stood up and the sack he was carrying landed on top of Kolivan. The peddler turned out to be Hunk in disguise.
"No way!" Hunk pulled Kolivan out from under the sack, Kolivan growing palm size in his hands. "Try it fanatically," Hunk said with a smile. Ulaz tried his best not to smile and laugh seeing his superior small in the genie's hand.
"It's Lance!" Hunk said as he threw a magic ball into the sky and a sign with generic font appeared that spelled Lance's name. Hunk turned to the crowd with a sheepish smile. "Awww... Some of you don't believe," Hunk said as he punched the sign and with a puff of smoke the sign spelled out Lance's name in a nicer font.
"There's a party here in Altea
There's excitement in the air"
Hunk sang as he held a snowglobe of Altea in his hands. A smaller version of Hunk flew past, sitting as if he were a plane pilot. He flew past the crowd as they made their way to the palace.
"People pouring in from near and far
'Cause Keith and Lance are gonna have a wedding"
Hunk flew in front of an elephant that was carrying a rich man on board, and his servant.
"There's a party here in Altea
Everybody will be there"
Hunk grabbed the elephant's foot and started filing the animal's toenails. The rich man and servant struggled to hold onto the saddle because of the angle.
"So if you're a pauper or a shah
Do something' with your hair"
Hunk caught the two before they fell off and hit the ground. With a puff of smoke, Hunk made the pairs hair frizz and stand up tall.
"You mustn't wear an outfit that's naughty"
Hunk exclaimed to a trio of harem girls. The girls jumped back in surprise as Hunk pointed at their outfits.
"A turban that's unraveling just won't do"
Hunk pulled on a rich man's turban and ended up spinning the man around like a tornado.
"No earrings that are tasteless or gaudy "
Hunk said as he transformed into one of the earrings a rich woman was wearing as she looked in the mirror.
"You're gonna look gorgeous when I get through"
Hunk sang with a smile as he changed a snobby, thing, rich woman into a plump woman with huge glasses. The woman ran away with a shriek.
"There's a party here in Agrabah
So I'm going to paint the town"
Hunk sang in a French accent as he painted a scene of Altea. He turned to three poor cloaked women and using his paintbrush, gave them new wonderful clothes. The three smiling in happiness.
"If you want to see what colors are
Follow me around"
Hunk stood on his paint set and flew over the top of a crowd in the street. A rainbow behind left behind. Another version of Hunk, as a newsboy, was passing out newspapers to everyone.
"Lance is getting' married, and it's gonna be
The wedding of the century"
The crowd sang as they read the article on the wedding. Hunk popped his head through one of the newspapers a smile on his face.
"My buddy's getting' married, and you're gonna see
Just how much I can do"
Hunk stood on top of a building and using his magic, created a wedding mural of Keith and Lance.
"You've heard of your safari bar mitzvahs"
Hunk said as he flew past as a safari explorer.
"You've all been to a luau, a sweet sixteen"
Hunk then appeared as a tiki-style pig. His eyes rolling around as he sang.
"Well, none of them compare to what this is"
Hunk exclaimed as he held a platter with a lid on it. He opened the lid and then appeared as a giant pig with an apple in his mouth.
"The food'll be disgusting, by evening you'll be busting"
Hunk said as he blew up and exploded into confetti.
"There's a party here in Altea
And it's got us all aglow"
Three rich woman sang as they passed an elderly man, his wife getting angry at the attention he was giving the woman and ended up pulling him away.
"If a street rat could've come so far
Maybe I could do it
Sure, there's nothin' to it!"
Hunk said as he appeared as a boxer and flexed his muscles.
"There's a party here in Altea
But we're not sure that we'll go"
A rich woman sang as she waved to the palace. Hunk appeared next to her, dressed as a woman, face hidden behind a fan.
"For although the prince is lah-dee-dah
The groom is awfully low"
Hunk glared at the woman and hip pushed her away, the woman crying out as she landed on the ground.
"And now we take you down to the palace, where everyone has celebrated all night long," Hunk said as he appeared as a news reporter. The gates of the palace were open, but behind Hunk, two guards were sleeping against the wall. Another version of Hunk walked out of the gates, a Lotor mask on his head.
"Without Lotor and all his malice, everybody's happy," Hunk said as he popped up in front of the camera. The news reporter Hunk pushed him down in anger. "What could possibly go wrong?" he questioned.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard, the thieves in the baskets poked their heads out and glanced around. Smiles on their faces.
"There's a party here in Altea
And we're gonna rob 'em blind"
The cloaked figure leaned up against one of the baskets. The thief and him sharing a look.
"While they're all munching caviar
Create a small disturbance, I'll sneak up from behind"
Inside the palace, Sendak had been put on gift collecting duty. A gift from each guest needed to be paid to enter the palace.
"There's a party here in Altea
And the loot is pourin' in"
Sendak grabbed a golden drum from w rich woman who did not look happy about giving the gift.
"I like this wedding stuff so far
Maybe if I'm pleasant
I'll get to keep a present"
Hunk appeared next to Shiro, a clipboard in his hand. Shiro was dressed in a pair of black pants, a white shirt with gold lining, a red and golden coat with loose puffed sleeves, yellow boots, a gold belt around the waist, and his crown on his head.
"We've ordered just a few tasteful flowers"
Hunk said as a truck backed up and dumped flowers of red, blue, and purple around them.
"The valets will carefully park for you"
Hunk exclaimed to a guest as one of the valets "parked" their elephant.
"The bridesmaids have been dressing for hours!"
Hunk said as he popped into the dressing room, dressed as a woman. Luckily, the girls were already dressed. Shay, Nyma, and Florona smiled at Hunk as he appeared. The girls dressed in the same dress, but in their respective colors.
"Girls, you look just lovely and so grown-up, too"
Hunk praised as he popped back to Shiro and the two entered the throne room, which had been redecorated for the wedding ceremony. The room already filled with guests on either side of the aisle.
"There's a party here in Altea
Guests are filling up the room"
Shiro looked around worriedly. Lance was nowhere to be found. Especially where he should be standing at the altar.
"But there's something missing...yes, ah ha!"
Shiro sighed and placed a hand on his forehead.
"Where is the groom?"
Hunk turned to the worried king.
"Don't worry Your Majesty, I'll find him," Hunk then poofed out of the room, leaving a worried Shiro behind.
Lance walked into his old home and glanced around. Memories flooded through his mind. Finding the place with Blue, hiding here away from the guards, bringing Keith here, running from guards with Keith. Blue watched as he headed to the ledge where they used to sleep.
Lance pulled a loose brick from the floor and set it aside to reveal a hiding hole. Lance then pulled out a wooden box and blew the dust off it. Blue tilted her head in confusion.
"Hello?" Hunk called out as him, Sendak and Pidge appeared, startling the two. Pidge poofed out of her carpet form and sat on the carpeted ground. Pidge was dressed in a dark green dress with a light green underskirt, white sandals, gold cuffs around her wrists, a gold choker with a green gem, gold teardrop earrings, and a gold headband with light green squared jewels.
"I can't believe you and Keith convinced me to wear a dress, I hope you're happy," Pidge said as she glared at Lance. Lance gave a sheepish smile.
"Somebody's going to be late for his own wedding!" Hunk called out as a reminder. Blue popped out from behind Lance, now in her human form. She was dressed in a blue dress with off the shoulder straps, a dark blue sheer cape attached at the back dropped down to the floor.
"Hold on Hunk, there's something I need," Lance said as he turned back to the box. Hunk's mouth opened and he nodded.
"I gotcha," Hunk said. Using his magic, Hunk created a giant cake. Pidge, Sendak, and Blue in party hats. Cups of booze in Pidge and Blue's hands. Hunk then popped out of the cake, dressed in a bra and huge breasts on his chest. "It's a bachelor party, big boy!" Hunk exclaimed.
Pidge went to take a sip of the booze but Hunk pulled it out of her hands. "None for you, you're the designated flyer," Pidge grumbled and Hunk pulled the other cup out of Blue's hands. "And you're underage."
Lance smiled at Hunk's try but turned back to the box. "No, this is for the wedding," Lance said as he opened the box. Inside was a dagger. The group watched as Lance pulled the dagger out of the box.
"Well, uh, that's a nice dagger. Interesting nuptial accessory. It's a bit... sharp," Hunk commented as Lance held the dagger.
"It belonged to my father," Lance commented as he stared at the dagger. The group's eyes widened.
"Your father? You never said a word about your father," Hunk said as the news hit him. "Oh, I've got to let the caterer know!" Hunk cried out as he appeared in front of Lance as a caterer. "Chicken or sea bass?" Hunk asked with a smile.
"He's not coming to the wedding...he died a long time ago," Lance said softly, his gaze dropping to the ground. Hunk changed back to normal, a soft smile on his face.
"Sorry," Hunk said with a small wince. Lance chuckled and stood up, placing the blade in his belt.
"That's okay, I never knew him. Maybe if I did, I'd feel ready for this," Lance commented as he stared at the palace. Remembering when he would stare at the palace and long for a life there.
"Lance," Hunk said as he changed into pink fuzzy bunny slippers on Lance's feet. "Are you getting cold feet?" Hunk asked. Lance shook his head and slid down the wall, sitting with his back against the wall. Blue and Pidge sitting next to him.
"No, Hunk. It's just that... I've always been a street rat. Stealing what I need to survive, runnin' from the guards," Blue nodded in agreement, she remembered those times. "Living my life alone," Blue froze before nodding. She remembered Lance being alone until he met her.
"I'm takin' a big step today, into a new world," Lance said as he smiled at the group. With a puff of smoke, a phone appeared next to Lance.
"Today's topic, "Fears of the Future Family Man." Lance from Altea, share with us," Hunk said as he appeared with a pair of headphones on his ears and a microphone in front of him.
"I never had a father to show me how to raise a family," Lance said as he stood up. Blue and Pidge watching him pace.
"No role model? Get a little deeper," Hunk said as his voice went lower.
"What do I know about families?" Lance asked no one in particular. The question lingering in the air. "Hunk, what if I'm no good at it?" Lance asked Hunk as he turned back to normal. "If my father were here…
"Lance, Little Buddy, if your father were here, he'd be as proud of you as I am," Hunk said as he placed a hand on his friend's shoulder.
"I just wish he could see this," Lance said with a sigh. He walked over to the window and stared at the streets.
"There's a party here in Altea
And the party's all for me"
Lance sang as he glanced up at the palace before turning to his friends who had smiles on their faces.
"Just look, you guys, at where we are
And how our dreams have come to be!"
Keith stood up from where he sat on the vanity. His mother Allura sat on his bed with Red, Green, Yellow, and Black in their human forms.
Allura was dressed in a blue dress with white linings on the bottom of the skirt and the bottom of the long loose sleeves. A white cape flowed down from where the white front piece was connected to the front of her dress. She had a gold necklace around her neck, purple teardrop earrings, and a gold headpiece with a diamond light purple jewel.
The lions were dressed in the same dresses(the same one Blue was wearing), each in their respective colors of Red, Purple, Green, and Yellow.
Keith himself was dressed in a pair of white pants, a white shirt with a gold collar, a white and gold coat with small puffed sleeves, gold boots, and a gold belt around the waist. On top of his head was his crown.
Keith headed over to the balcony and smiled seeing the busy streets of Altea.
"There's a party here in Altes
And I can't believe it's true
After all this waiting, here we are
We'll finally get to say 'I do!'"
The group in the bedroom followed him outside as they heard him singing.
"I never, ever had a real family"
Lance sang as he leaned his face against his palm.
"I never, ever had a real true friend"
Keith sang as if he heard Lance sing.
"Someone who could just understand me…"
The two sang as they closed their eyes. Lance imagined Keith in front of him and went to kiss him, but Sendak's voice jolted him out of his imagination.
"Hey, c'mon, Lance, this mush has gotta end!" Sendak called out with a roll of his eyes.
Hunk changed the hovel into a clothes shop, a smile on his face.
"There's a party here in Altea
And it's starting right away"
Hunk sang as he pulled out a clock and pointed at it. Hunk then changed into a tailor and changed Lance into his wedding clothes.
"Let's getcha dressed, 'cause you're the star!
Hey, c'mon, it's your wedding day!"
Lance was dressed in a pair of white pants, a white shirt with puffed sleeves and a gold collar, gold boots, a gold belt around his waist, a white cape that was held in place by a gold pin with blue gem in the middle, and a white turban with a gold crown and a golden feather on top.
Hunk then pulled the group close as another Hunk snapped a photo with a camera. Pidge jumped over the edge and changed into her carpet form. Hunk and Lance then linked arms and walked towards the edge. Blue and Sendak shrugged before linked arms/wings and following. The four stepping off the edge. Blue and Lance landing on top of Pidge.
Pidge flew off to the palace, Hunk and Sendak flying after them. Lance smiled down to the smiling crowd as they sang and watched him fly past.
"Lance is getting' married, and it's gonna be
The wedding of the century
Amazing how Lance should have come so far…"
Hunk froze in the air with a smile as he felt the excitement of the wedding rush through him.
"They're finally getting married"
Hunk sang in excitement.
"They're finally getting married"
Shiro sang in relief as he saw Lance fly above him.
"They're finally getting married"
The thieves sang as they popped their heads out of the baskets. The cloaked leader giving them confused look.
"Look at all these presents!"
Sendak exclaimed as he dove into the pile, before being dragged out by Blue who had joined up with the other lions as they were told to head down with Allura. The group heading to the throne room and heading towards the front of the aisle.
"We're finally getting married"
Keith sang as he headed down to his place to walk down the aisle.
"They're finally getting married"
The lions sang with smiles on their faces.
"I'm finally getting married!"
Lance exclaimed as reality clicked in.
"They're finally getting married!
At the party in Altea!"
As Lance landed at the altar, the crowd threw up confetti and cheered.
"Such a sight to see
Come on, go with me
To the party in Altea!"
