Lala Norisu – Yea, Shiro has to stop him because Keith is too stubborn to stop on his own :)

AvaniAcrux – It's one of my favorite movies!

Rangergirl3 – Yep, love the sarcasm! XD


Missing Out


As he approached Red, she opened her mouth to let him in. He climbed into the cockpit and placed a hand on one wall. "How you feeling, girl?" He heard her purr in his head. He looked around. Any trace of magic was finally gone from the interior. "It looks like you are feeling better." She seemed to chuckle a little at that and said something else to him. "I'm fine. I was just worried about you." She growled a bit. Keith sighed. "Yes, I know. I need to worry more about myself." He sat down in his pilot's chair. "Thanks for talking to me." She purred again, comfortingly and he continued to talk about what's been happening.


Shiro watch as Keith climbed into Red. He has known for a while that Keith came down here to talk to Red whenever he wanted to be alone. Just as Shiro was about to enter Red to talk to Keith, the alarms around the castle sounded. He turned around and saw the other three Paladins running in to get to their lions.

"What's going on?" He yelled as he ran to his own lion.

"A Galra ship has been spotted nearby," Hunk informed.

"It's a small fry, so Allura wants us to destroy it," Lance called as he climbed into blue.

"It's a scouting ship," Pidge corrected Lance, "Which means we have to destroy it before it can report back to Zarkon."

Shiro nodded in understanding. Just as he reached Black, Keith had come out.

"Hey! I'm coming with you!" Keith called to Shiro.

"No! If Red gets hurt then so do you! You are staying here and that's an order!" Shiro climbed into Black and the four of them set off.

"Aaarrggg!" Keith yelled in frustration and punched the wall next to him.

A loud, ear-splitting roar escaped from Red, feeling her Paladin's anger.

"Hey! Come now." Coran and Allura had just walked in, both clutching their ears.

"Keith, I know you would rather be out there protecting your friends, but they are only trying to protect you." Allura approached him. Both of them let their hands drop. "You are causing your lion distress by holding this anger."

"Well, she thinks I should be out there too." Keith fisted his hands.

Red snorted.

"Oh, thanks. Now you too," Keith replied to his lion sardonically.

Allura and Coran looked at him questioningly.

"She said she agrees with Shiro. Her job is to protect me and she can't do that in our current predicament," Keith deadpanned.

"Red is right, Keith. That's her job. And as of right now, she can't do that." Coran tried to console him. "Why don't I make you something to eat?!"

"No, I think I'm going to stay with Red and keep in touch with the others during the fight."

"Ok, but don't leave the hangar," Allura warned and she and Coran left.

Keith got back inside Red and sat down. He pulled up his video coms and all four of the others appeared on the screen in front of him. "How are you guys doing?"

"Keith?" Lance looked at his screen for just a second before turning his attention back to the fight.

"Keith, I told you not to come out here!" Shiro never took his eyes off the fight.

"Relax, I never left the hangar. Just trying to keep up with what's happening."

"Well, this little ship is definitely putting up a fight." Pidge dodged another blast and Yellow flew right past her to ram into the ship.

"Good job, Hunk! You took out its blaster!" Shiro congratulated.

Hunk smiled in triumph.

"Alright! Let's take this out together!" Shiro called.

All four of the paladins attacked it at once, effectively blowing it up.

Keith sat pouting, wishing he was out there helping.

"Good job, guys. Let's head back!" Shiro called and the others hollered in success.

As they turned around, Keith saw Pidge's video feed cut to static. He jumped out of his seat. "What happened?!"

"Keith! Stay there!" Shiro yelled, turning his lion around.

"We got this!" Lance turned to follow Shiro.

It turns out, the small scout ship had already reported to the nearest Galra patrol. The patrol ship had just shown up and began its attacked.

Pidge came back online. Her video feed kept flickering in and out of focus. "Guys I'm fine, just some technical damage."

"Let's take them out!" Hunk yelled as he sped towards the ship.

Keith was now on his feet, watching the fight start up again.

Suddenly a large blast hit Lance's lion and his feed was lost.

"Lance!"

"Lance!"

"Sorry, Keith, but you need to stay there," Shiro said quietly as he cut the communications to Red.

Okay, so this might be a somewhat short story. But I already have plans for another fic. It will be a Galra Keith fic, so if you like that then keep watch after this fic is concluded. Also, I AM COMPLETELY OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS! Seriously. If you guys have any suggestions or ideas you would like to see in this story or my next one, don't hesitate to let me know through review or PM. : ) Until next chapter,
