"Allura?"

Was this real? This place reminded Lance of the astral plane.

"Lance?"

If it was real, then Lance was talking to Allura, who's dead.

"Lance, what's going on?" Allura asked, fear in her voice.

"I don't know. Where are you?" Lance asked.

"In the blue lion," Allura answered.

"How are you still-I mean, this isn't!"

Lance inwardly cursed himself. Stupid head.

He looked closer at Allura's face. Even if this was a dream, he wanted to get every detail while he still could. Everything was just as he remembered, except for one tiny detail.

"Your marks," he said.

Allura frowned. What was wrong with them? Out of reflex, she reached up and touched them, but of course that proved nothing.

"They're blue," Lance clarified. Allura's frown deepened.

"No, they're not, they're pink," Allura said stubbornly.

"I would never lie to you, Allura," Lance insisted. "They're blue."

There was a deep rumbling sound from somewhere above them. Lance could feel himself being tugged out, hearing Hunk's panicked voice. He didn't want to go, not yet.

"Lance?" Allura asked. She knew he had to go. He was starting to fade.

He stepped closer to her, closing the distance between them easily.

"Even if this isn't real," He said, "I want to do this."

He leaned down and kissed her. She obliged happily, wanting this moment to last forever.

Lance felt something-or someone-tug at his gut. His body jerked backwards, trying to wake him up.

He pulled away from Allura, tears in his eyes.

"Please, be real," he heard her mumble. Maybe this really just happened.

Everything around him started to fade and crumble.

Lance shot up in his bed, breathing heavily. Hunk was hunched over him, shaking him.

"Hunk, stop! You'll give him brain damage!" Pidge shouted. Hunk stopped shaking Lance, instead opting to help him sit up.

"Oh, man, what was that about?" Lance asked, glancing at Hunk, then Pidge, and Shiro, and finally Keith.

"Look outside," Shiro said. Lance glanced out the window, then did a double take.

Were those the lions?!

"What?" Lance breathed out. He got out of bed and neared the window. As he got closer, Lance could feel the tickling sensation in his cheeks.

"Allura," he whispered. Lance shot out of the room and to the lions, who were all gathered in a circle around the Allura statue.

As he approached, Blue knelt down and opened her mouth, dropping a limp figure to the ground before him.

The other paladins were right behind Lance, all with varying levels of shock.

He knelt down, picking up Allura. She was breathing.

He smiled, then laughed. He laughed until he cried, hugging Allura protectively.

He never thought he would hear her heartbeat again, but here he was, holding Allura, laughing and crying into her freakishly long hair. .
