A/N: hey guys! I'm so glad to see you all again! Thank you to everyone who followed, favorited, and reviewed on the first chapter! Now this chapter is shorter, but mainly because I was gonna make this a one shot but then decided not to at the end of the chapter. Also for the record, this story is taken place before season 3. Anyway, for anyone who is new to my account, know that I shout out every reviewer and give my comments towards them. So...lets get to those reviewers!

kelli.n.c: thank you for the compliment. And yes Keith does overwork himself and ends up getting sick. I hope to see you again as the story goes on. :)

nigil1017: I was planning on writing more chapters and here we are! Thank you for taking time to read my first Voltron fanfic!:)

Anyway guys, I hope you enjoy this next chapter! I own nothing of Voltron Legendary Defender

While Shiro was looking over Keith, the others were walking to the kitchen in silence. Now that they've seen Keith like that, they weren't sure if they can even eat. Sure they knew Keith was going to be ok, but that doesn't make them any less worried...especially Pidge. She was the one who found him that way after all.

However, despite the situation, they knew they had to eat something. They wouldn't want to go hungry and possibly feel sick like Keith is right now. Pidge decided to cancel her day's plans and switch places with Shiro to watch over Keith...after she eats of course. Her only issue would be trying to convince Shiro to switch places with her.

Everyone went into the kitchen, grabbed their green goop, and then went at the table to eat. The only noise that could be heard was the sound of the silverware being used for their goop. The tense in the air was so great, someone could cut it with a knife.

As the silence continued, Lance made the brave decision to ask a stupid question to everyone.

"So...how was everyone's morning?"

At that moment, everyone just stared at Lance...Pidge and Allura giving him an "are you stupid" expression. After a few moments, Lance realized his mistake and chuckled nervously.

"I mean...besides the whole Keith thing."

And still everyone just stared at him. The only thing anyone did was help with Keith. Well...Pidge was walking to get breakfast before she found him, but that's really it.

"Ok look...I'm just trying to get your minds off of what happened," Lance sighs. "I just hate this tension...you know."

A few more silent moments passed before Allura spoke up.

"I see what you are doing Lance...and I really appreciate for you trying. However, I think you should have started with a better question."

"Yea...I know. I...forgot that this morning was just...well rough."

"We know."

"And I'm sure Keith will be fine," Pidge spoke up next. "He just needs to take it easy is all and get plenty of rest. Not to mention he needs to stay hydrated."

Lance and Hunk nodded in agreement, and Pidge looked back at Lance.

"Also Lance I'm...sorry I snapped at you earlier. I just..."

"It's alright," Lance said. "We were all stressed...and I was too stupid to figure anything out...you know, put the pieces together."

'Just like how you were the only one who didn't know I was a girl,' she thought to herself.

She looked up at Lance and sighed.

"I seriously am though. After Shiro calmed me down, I realized what I did. I'm sorry."

"Quit apologizing," Lance sighed. "We're all just stressed. And hey, I've heard so much worse."

Pidge knew he was referring to Keith without really saying it. After a few tense moments, Hunk spoke up.

"Well...how about all of us hang out today? It doesn't seem like Zarkon it gonna come attack us anytime soon."

Everyone looked over at Hunk, and actually liked the idea.

"I'm in on that," Lance nods. "We never really get a day to relax anymore."

Pidge nods at that idea...but she also knew they had to take turns with watching Keith.

"Ok...I'm in...on one condition," everyone's attention was on Pidge. "We all have to take turns watching over Keith. I don't think it's fair to have Shiro watching him the entire day."

Lance and Hunk looked at each other and shrugged.

"Sounds fair enough," Lance says. "As long as he doesn't wake up punching me, it's all good with me."

Pidge rolled her eyes, while Hunk was holding back a laugh. That's when Allura spoke up.

"Even though I am ok with relaxing, I think it would be wise if we did something to help Keith feel better."

Everyone turned their head to Allura.

"Like what?" Hunk asks.

"Uh well...what do you earthlings do to help someone feel better?"

They all think for a few seconds, before Hunk spoke up.

"Well, whenever I'm sick-," Hunk spoke up.

"Like the many times you used to throw up in the rockets?" Lance cut him off.

Hunk ignored his comment. "My mother used to always make me soup."

"Yea...my brother did the same when my parents weren't home to take care of me," Pidge glanced at the ground for a second before looking back up.

"Soup?" Allura looked over at Coran, who shrugged.

"Yea...it's kinda like a liquid dish that you kinda...put chicken and vegetables in..." Lance tried to explain.

Hunk and Pidge looked at Lance.

"It's basically something you make when you want someone to feel better," Pidge tried summing up what Lance said.

"Like a healing potion?" Allura seemed very interested.

"Er...I wouldn't say it's a healing potion...but it's warm."

"But doesn't Keith already have a fever?"

"Yes, but I'm pretty sure that the soup won't make his fever go higher. There are materials in there that can help Keith," she knew that if she rambled on, she would just lose everyone.

"Oh!" Allura smiled. "Then we shall make this soup at once!"

"But princess, do we have the materials?" Coran asked.

Her smiled faded, but then Hunk spoke up.

"I...can try to whip up something. Maybe I can try to either find something in the castle, or try getting some supplies nearby."

Allura smiled again. "I can help you if you want!"

"How about this?" Pidge says. "One of us obviously had to keep watch of the castle...and it doesn't always have to be Coran."

"Oh no, I don't mind! I always like to watch over the castle! Don't worry about me!"

Everyone looked at each other before Pidge spoke.

"Ok...if you insist," Pidge says. "Anyway, so now we have two shifts to deal with. One of them is to watch over Keith. If we leave him alone, we all know he's just gonna try to push himself...even when he's sick," everyone nodded on agreement. "Meanwhile, the rest of us can try and make this soup. If we want to make this a surprise for Keith, we're gonna have to wait until he's actually asleep before we go to any planet...and if we do go to a planet."

Everyone looked at each other before nodding.

"Anyway, lets wait a little bit, and then I'll try to convince Shiro to switch places. I'll also fill him in on what we're planning."

Everyone nodded.

"Oh, and one more thing," she looked at Lance and Hunk...mostly at Lance. "Don't do anything stupid."

"Hey!" Lance exclaims.

For the first time this morning, everyone laughed...lifting the tension for just a few moments. After the laughter died down, Pidge spoke up again.

"Ok guys, we have a job to do! Finish eating and lets get going!"

Everyone briefly chanted, but quickly quiet down...knowing a sick Keith was still a few rooms away. As everyone ate quickly, Pidge couldn't help but glance at the doorway.

'I wonder how Keith's doing...' she thought.

A/N: ok so I kinda need a little help with the soup...if it should be on the castle or on another planet. And since it's different in space, I kinda need help with the ingredients. If you have suggestions, please tell me. Also please review your thoughts!:)
