When Lance awakened, he panicked. What happened?
"Calm down, Lance. Everything is alright," said a voice beside him. It took Lance a couple minutes to recognize the voice as Romelle. He smiled, thankful for the familiar voice.
He sat up slowly, his head still spinning.
"What happened?" He asked.
Romelle shook her head, unaware herself of what had happened last night.
"All I know is that you fell to your knees last night in front of the statue of Allura."
Lance felt a pain in his chest at the mention of Allura. He had loved her. So much.
He took a deep breath, trying without much luck to get rid of the pain in his chest.
Romelle noticed, and put her hand on his shoulder. Lance closed his eyes.
This only made it worse. Every time he closed his eyes, he could see her.
He only opened them again when he felt Romelle's hand leave his shoulder. Lance looked up to see Hunk stroll awkwardly into the room.
He and Romelle exchanged a few words, then she left. Hunk walked up to Lance's bed carrying food.
"Hey Buddy, how you feeling?" He asked nervously.
Lance shrugged his shoulders.
"Ok, good, good. You hungry? I brought some tamales," he said, setting down the food.
Lance smiled and dug in.
"This is good, thank you."
"No problem buddy," Hunk replied.
When Lance had finished eating, he set the plate aside.
"How are things with you and Shay?" He asked, trying to make small talk.
Hunk smiled and told Lance everything was good. Lance wasn't paying attention, as his mind was elsewhere. He had a strange feeling in his gut.
Finally, Hunk left Lance to rest. Lance pulled the covers up over his head, welcoming the darkness and the silence.
On the other side of the galaxy, someone else was trying to sleep as well. Princess Allura had just woken up and was asking Blue what happened.
She had been shocked to find she had been dead for the past year, and that Lance was now on Earth, enjoying his life…
She sighed. Thinking about Lance was painful. She missed him, and was so sure he had found someone to settle down with. If he had, she didn't know if she'd be able to handle it.
Blue wouldn't answer her questions, just flew at a steady pace. Allura had no idea where she was being taken, except maybe to Lance.
"Blue, at least tell me if Lance is happy?" She asked.
Allura didn't expect what happened next. Somehow, Blue was still slightly connected to Lance's conscious, which allowed her to feel Lance's feelings. He was sad, hurt, confused, and worried. He was also happy, content, and comfortable.
She could feel him falling asleep and wished she was there with him, wrapped in his warm arms. When she first met him, she had had no idea how supporting Lance could be. Now, she wished he was here to comfort her.
She could feel Blue pushing Allura to fall asleep as well. She happily obliged, dreaming of she and Lance together, reunited.
