This one is relatively short compared to all the other oneshots I've written so far. When I was thinking about the prompt in relation to Shallura, this iconic Sailor Moon quote came to mind.

"Endymion, you are my first love, my only love... even if we're reborn, in another life, we'll find each other... and then... We'll fall in love again... - Princess Serenity"

And that gave me an idea. I don't know how well it actually fits with the prompt but... Shallura culture.

Day 14: Distance. A rewrite of the most iconic scene of the most iconic Sailor Moon movie ever.

TRIGGER WARNING: major character death.

Enjoy!

Earth's moon. Their home planet in sight. After three years of battle, victories and defeats on the opposite side of the universe, they finally defeated Zarkon once and for all.

But that defeat came at a terrible price.

The Paladins were on the moon's surface, lunar rock pieces floating around them. They were gathered around the limp body of the Altean princess. Shiro held Allura in his arms, eyes glossy with tears. This was the first time he held her so close but she seemed so far away from him.

"Allura, please, tell us this is an Altean thing… you… you can't..." Keith choked out while shaking her body.

"She used up all her quintessence to save us, we can't lose her!" Lance cried.

"We were going to bring you to earth and you could smell the flowers! We were going to make happy memories!" Pidge yelled out, her glasses collecting their tears.

"Allura, you make us all want to become better versions of ourselves," Hunk said while wiping his eyes in vain, "You really are the heart of Voltron…"

As Shiro looked down at Princess Allura's lifeless body, a voice resonated in his head.

"Shiro… you sacrificed so much for this team, I cannot thank you enough for all you have done. And because of that I can give you this final gift."

Coran reached his arm out and presented a blue juneberry flower to the black Paladin.

"This blue flower's nectar has all my remaining quintessence, give it to the princess."

"But Coran…"

"Her time has not come yet," he said with a sad smile. "Let her know how much I love her and that I will always be with her, no matter the distance."

Coran's soul floated away as he looked at the face of the young woman in Shiro's arms. He knew she would be alright, she had a whole family waiting for her to wake up. He faded into the stars, returning to the ancients.

Shiro kissed the flower.

The Paladins all gasped because Shiro was now kissing the princess. Soon, her whole body got engulfed in blue quintessence. Shiro slowly ended the kiss and the light faded away. Allura started moving.

"We… we did it? We defeated Zarkon?" She asked.

"Yes," Shiro whispered.

"Thank you, thank you everyone, I… I…"

She started to cry. The whole team gathered around her, crying and laughing and shouting.

Zarkon was defeated. They could finally go home.

You can all hate me for this I won't blame you.

For those who don't know: The oneshot was a rewrite of the final scene of Sailor Moon R The Movie: Promise Of The Rose which imho, the most Iconic Sailor Moon movie ever!
