After the Castle of Lions is freed from Sendak's control and restored to power, Lana has been sleeping within a Sleep Pod to recuperate after been out from the bomb explosion. Her team and the lions were all hovering around her pod hoping she'll be okay, except Coran who is at the Sleep Chamber console.

"I can't tell if she looks healthy... or not." Said Hunk observing Lana.

"I think she's breathing weird." Said Pidge pressing her face against the pod.

'Oh, I hope Lana will be okay.' Said Blue looking worried. 'It's been a day.'

'Don't worry Blue, she'll be okay, the healing pods will make sure she'll be recover quickly.' Said Black smiling at Blue.

'I hope so, after the bomb explosion, she was really badly injured.' Said Blue shuddering in fear.

'Well, at least we stop Sendak from taking the castle, and we got Lana in the healing pod just in time.' Said Red looking at Blue. 'I'm sure she'll be okay.'

"Oh, come on!" Said Keith as he tries tapping on the pod but Allura stops him.

"Not yet! A few more ticks." Said Allura looking at Keith.

"How much better do you think she's gonna get in a few more ticks?" Said Keith crossing his arms.

"And what exactly is a tick?" Asked Pidge looking confused.

"You know, a time-slice." Said Allura answering Pidge's question.

"What, like a second?" Asked Shiro trying to understand what Allura meant.

"What is a... "second"?" Asked Allura looking confused.

"Like this." Said Pidge taking out a clock counting seconds to show Allura.

"I'm not sure. I think ticks are bigger. Coran, do you have a ticker?" Asked Allura looking at the Altean Advisor.

"Right here, Princess." Said Coran taking out a ticker counting ticks to compare.

"I think ticks are a little slower." Said Hunk looking at the ticker.

"I can't tell." Said Pidge looking between her clock and the ticker. "We have to start them at the same time."

"Okay. Ready, go!" Said Coran as he Pidge start their timers together and everyone huddles around to watch.

'I can't believe they are doing this.' Said Green looking confused.

'I guess they just want to know which timer goes fast.' Said Yellow looking at the group.

'Hmm. . . Do you think the ticker is faster?' Asked Blue looking at the lions.

'I don't know, I think Pidge's clock is faster than the ticker.' Said Red looking at the group.

'I can't believe you are all enjoying this.' Said Black looking at his pride. 'Although I want to know what's faster.'

"Yes! I think we're winning." Said Hunk excitedly.

"Winning what? The intergalactic time-measuring competition?" Asked Keith looking at Hunk.

"Yes." Said Hunk looking back at the timers.

As they all were focusing on the "clock-off", what the team didn't know, Lana's Sleep pod began to open and she exits out and stumbles over to the group.

"What are you guys doing, what's with all the ticking?" Asked Lana drowsily and surprised everyone.

"Aw, Lana, you just. . . Wait . . . Lana!" Shouted Hunk hugging Lana.
