Lance Angst One Shots

Board Games

Trigger warnings: Suicide, blood, bodily harm.

     Lance POV

      "Hey blue," I said as I walked into her camber with a bucket and brush.

       I can clean myself, Blue said as she looked at Lance.

      "I know you don't like water but I need to do this, just pretend you're at the spa or something," I said as I brought the bucket up to her front paw and dunked the brush into it.

       Are any of the other lions getting a spa day?

     "Ha no, not that I know of, The rest of them are playing a couple of earth games and I wasn't invited so I figured Ill make them all jealous by having the best-looking lion out there," I said scrubbing her paw, making sure to get all the crooks and nannies.

       Why didn't they invite you?

       "I don't, I don't know," I said sputtering moving my way up her paw to where the ankle would be.

        You didn't ask to play?

        "No, why would I, they wouldn't want me to play anyways. They all hate me too much even to invite me to eat dinner," I said moving up. At this point, I would need to ask Blue to lay down, get a latter, or climb up.

         I looked around and found some rope. I grabbed it and tied it around myself and then around Blue.

         What are you doing?

         "I need to move upwards, so I'll just climb up to get to these parts," I said as I grabbed the bucket and tied it around me. I shimmied up her leg and continued to brush her.

       "There's a couple of two-player games, we could try to play," I said to Blue and I worked around her leg.

         Like what?

        "There's a game called I Spy. One person says I spy than a describing word about something. The other person, or in this case, lion, would need to guess what they are talking about. Does that make sense? It's a game I played with my sisters and cousins when we were traveling," I said. I tried to push myself up to get higher but the rope slipped. Thankfully it was just a few feet from where I was, but it scared me. Nonetheless, I continued upward.

        Are there any other games from the Earth you played?

      "Oh yeah, on occasion," I said grunting as I hoisted myself up.

       "Well play a game called Trash. It's a card game so we'd need a deck but anyway, each person would get ten cards to start with, and whoever got the full ten then that round ended, and the person that won got nine cards. That pattern would continue with every round," Getting up higher was getting harder.

       "It was always a mess when everyone at home played," I said finally getting to the shoulder. At that point, I was at least 40 feet in the air, probably more.

       "PALADINS! THERE'S GALRA IN FRONT OF US, GET TO YOUR LIONS!" Coran's voice rang threw the speaker system.

         "Guess your spa day is getting cut short," I said as I worked my way down as quickly as I can. I ran to the side room and changed in seconds and then ran back to Blue.

      She opened her hatch and let me in. I ran up and grabbed a snack she kept in there for me to eat before the battle. I sat down at the control panel and started her up. I lead her out of the castle and into the open space. There were two warships and a bunch of little ones.
