Lance

"I can't believe we finally get to go home." I said staring out the giant window on the observation deck. Blue was at my feet like always.

"Well, with how much help we've gathered across the universe it's kinda silly not to have earth join by this point." Allura explained. "I originally didn't want to put Earth on the Galra's radar but… Our allies have begun to question why the palidains home planet isn't on the collusion and not wanting the planet or it's inhabitants to be in danger isn't a good answer if we're asking their planet to join in our efforts, putting their people and planet in danger."

"Yeah, I can see where that would come off as bad." Pidge laughed from her chair, Green resting comfortably in her lap.

"I'm just glad we can finally see our families again." Hunk said laying back in his chair with Saros, his son, in his lap, and Yellow laying across his feet.

"After four years you all deserve a break with your families for a week." Coran exclaimed.

"I know! It's going to be great! Finally my family can come together!" I sang. "We should have a party! I bet my mom wouldn't mind hosting!" I grab Keith from around the waist, pulling him closer and kissing him on the cheek. This caused Red to jump off his shoulder, deciding to rest on his feet instead. "You're going to love them, babe." I brushed my daughter's cheek, causing her to squeal in Keith's arms. "And they're going to love you guys. Plus we live on a farm so it'll be far away from any public so you don't have to worry about being seen!"

Keith's ears perked at that. "But won't your family still freak out?"

I bite my lip, "Maybe a little at first, but just because it'll be the first time they see someone not from their planet."

"How bad do you think it will be?" Keith asks, bringing Nova closer to his chest protectly.

"Um, let's just let me do the talking first okay?"

Keith nodded, "Does Nova at least look human enough?"

I looked down at my beautiful baby girl. Her eyes and hair were the spitting image of mine, but she has purple ears and a tail like Keith. Not to mention her skin was a tie dye of golden brown and lavender. While she was beautiful she wasn't exactly the most subtle on Earth.

"Um, it won't really matter out at my ma's anyway."

Keith frowned at that, "So you can't even take her into town and show her around?"

"Um-"

"So if Lance gets to take Keith and Nova do I get to take Shay and Saros?" Hunk asks, saving me from having to answer.

"Technically, anyone who isn't from Earth shouldn't go down yet. We don't want to start a panic." Shiro explained.

"Sorry buddy, I lived on a farm with neighbors not around for miles. Keith and Nova will be fine, Shay and Saros will stand out like a sore thumb at your house. No offense." I explained. "But they can totally come to the party I'm going to throw for everyone and you can introduce them to your family then."

Hunk frowned to Shay, "I wish I could show you and Saros all my favorite restaurants, maybe I can pick up some from them to give to you. Of course I'd have to scan them first."

While they giggled, Keith asked, "Wouldn't we be fine if we went to the government first? They could tell the public that we come in peace and mean no harm just like we do on every other planet."

"In theory everyone would know that they won't hurt anyone but we all know from personal experience that just because the government is on board doesn't exactly mean that the whole public is behind the idea of letting aliens rome around their city. Or the opposite could be true and everyone would crowd wanting to see the aliens. Something we all have experience with as well." Shiro explained.

We all frowned, thinking back on all the times that Keith had been attacked by those who believed that all Galra are evil no matter what. Poor Keith seemed to be hated no matter where he went. It's one of the reasons I think Earth would be good for him since there would be no prejudice against his kind there yet.

Pidge coughed to get our attention and once she was sure she had it she began, "Fear not love birds, your dear kid genius friend and her amazing family have an answer to all your problems." She held up four belts, two of them being baby sized. "These belts can change the appearance of the wearer. Meaning Keith, Shay, Saros and Nova can look absolutely human and bend in."

"What!" Both sets of couples answered.

"I thought we didn't finish those?" Hunk asked.

"I might have stayed up to finish them after you fell asleep." She threw them at Keith and Shay respectively, "You're welcome." Keith ended up catching his belt with his left hand and Nova's with his tail, while Shay caught hers and Hunk caught Saros's.

"You're not joking with us right? Cause that would be cruel even for you." I asked, taking Nova for Keith so he could put on his belt.

Pidge shrugged, "Don't believe me, try it out."

Keith and Shay shared a look before Shay put hers on as well. Once on, Pidge walked over to explain how they worked. "You just turn the knob to whatever species you want. Right now I only have original, galra, and human on there but I was thinking we could add more."

Keith gave one last tentative look to me before turning the knob to human. Then BAM. Before my eyes, my mate was gone and in his place was a new hottie. Keith's lavender skin had changed to porcelain pale and his ears and tail were nowhere to be found. His hair which used to have a purple tint to it was now pure raven black. Keith looked up at us unsure of his new looks, as if he wasn't sure it had worked. I grinned at seeing he had violet eyes. It was like his Galra genes were too stubborn to be covered up that easily. I wrapped my arm around his neck and kissed his cheek.

"You look gorgeous, baby." I sang to which Keith blushed.

"What do you think, Nova? Does Mommy look different?" Keith asked our little kit. The baby seemed confused at first but after a few questioning sniffs seemed to realize who the weird stranger was. It was utterly adorable to see her reach for Keith's cheeks so she could pull him closer to nuzzle up against her disguised parent. Red also seemed to give him a questioning scan before settling.

Eager to join the fun Shay turned the knob on her own belt. Unlike with Keith where if you stared you could find the same features of his face and body shape, Shay was almost unrecognisable. Her greenish skin had changed to a slight tan and brown hair fell to her shoulders. She still had a more bulky structure but the spikes and tail seemed to disappear.

"Do I look alright?" She asked shly.

"You're rocking that human bod, Shay! Work it!" I yelled.

Everyone laughed and Hunk finally stepped up to his girlfriend in her new look, "You do look beautiful, Shay. Uh, not that you didn't look beautiful before, just that you still look beautiful now." This caused her to giggle before giving him a kiss.

"Okay, Nova's turn!" Keith cheered, holding Nova so I could put on her own tiny belt. Just like with Keith I blinked and my baby was replaced with another adorable cutie. Her skin was completely golden brown now and her ears and tail were gone. It honestly kinda hurt to see her like this because it was like all the Keith had been taken out of her. One look to Keith and I knew he felt the same way. Quickly I pulled him in for a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Don't worry babe, as soon as we're out of public these things come off."

Keith shrugged, "They're not so bad." I rolled my eyes at him.

It was much the same with Saros. As soon as he put on the belt all the features he's gotten from Shay disappeared. His skin had already been more of Hunks color but the four horns on his head, two on his chin, and the ones down his legs and arms disappeared. His yellow eyes gained brown iris and a finger on each hand as well as two toes on each foot. His cute little tail, like Nova's, vanished.

I'll admit the thought of what everyone would look like as a human had crossed my mind and had been fun to think about but it was a lot sadder than I imagined. Instead of a fused image of us and our partners Saros and Nova looked like copies of Hunk and I.

Despite the melancholy atmosphere, Shay giggled. "Oh I'm so excited to see what Earth is like." She exclaimed, jumping up and down. "You guys always speak so highly of it." She was choosing to look on the bright side of things like always.

"You guys will love it! We can travel to all the best places and have lovely family outings!" I exclaimed.

"Again your welcome for giving you a relaxed and all inclusive family visit." Pidge grinned. "I hope you'll also be glad to hear that Hunk and I also added an upgrade to the lions."

Allura looked worried, "What did you do to the lions?"

Pidge frowned, "Relax Allurra, I would never harm them."

"Accidents happen." The princess claimed, causing Pidge to frown harder at her.

Matt laughed nervously, "Anyway, what Pidge is talking about is we had plans to give the lions the appearance of normal house cats so they could come with us. But I didn't know she finished them."

"I know, I'm awesome." Pidge bragged. Until Shiro stepped up to her.

"Pidge? Does this mean you've been staying up all night and not taking care of yourself?" He scolded.

"Oh come on! This is not the thanks I deserve for my hard work!" She wailed, sliding out of her seat and onto the floor. As soon as she had slid completely on the ground Green came up and nuzzled her head in comfort.

Shiro seemed like he was going to lecture her some more before Adam hit his shoulder causing Shiro sighed before relenting. "Fine, just this once, I'll let it slide. But you do have to start taking better care of yourself."

"Yeah yeah" She waved off, much to her real father's disapproval.
