Transported to Another Reality {Temporarily On Hold}

The Juniberry festival

Since Sendak and (Y/n) came from different planets they grew up with different cultures, traditions and customs, but ever since (Y/n) found herself on Daibazaal she adjusted to galra customs and she'd introduced a few of her own to those she was closest with. One of the things that took a little time to get used to were the courtship methods galra used before marriage; it was so different from what humans did in the sense that no one dated around, although for (Y/n) that part was a nice change because she knew Sendak truly loved her. As for Sendak, the aspect of going out on dates piqued his interest and in order to learn more about it in order to surprise (Y/n) he contacted one of his acquaintances on Altea and learned what all a date entailed. Luckily for him the Juniberry festival was coming up, so he intended to ask (Y/n) to go out on a date with him for the special occasion. Obviously the human version of dating was a bit different than the altean version, nevertheless Sendak wanted to try taking his girlfriend out on their very first date together.

Sendak wasn't the best at poetry, but he wanted to make (Y/n) swoon when he asked her out and to make it more romantic he would give her a single Juniberry flower that he bought at a local flower shop as a symbol that she was his one and only true love. (Y/n) was aware of the Juniberry festival because she'd heard about it during the first season of Voltron, and Zarkon mentioned how he went every year, but she didn't think she would be going as well. However, when Sendak asked her to go to the festival with him she nearly died from happiness; (Y/n) had always wanted to be asked out on a date to some kind of festival and it finally happened, she was very enthusiastic when she said yes, and then she put the flower he gave her in a vase so it wouldn't wilt. On the morning of the festival (Y/n) got herself ready and she wore a new frilly (F/c) dress with (S/f/c) trim and white lace around the midsection she'd been gifted with for the special occasion, then Kumo helped her with her hair. After (Y/n) was ready she helped Kumo pick out an outfit, then they were ready to go to Altea.

Kumo was taking Haxus along to Altea as her plus one; Zarkon planned on spending the whole day with Lotor, and Vrul was only going because he wanted to catch up with his friend. (Y/n) already knew about the juniberry juice and she looked forward to trying it, although she would be careful not to accidentally get any on her clothes. Before they could go enjoy the festival they needed to briefly meet up with the altean royal family, which in itself was exciting for (Y/n) since Allura and her parents were safe and healthy. She was in awe of the castle when she finally had the opportunity to see it in person; it was absolutely massive, she could hardly believe that it was also a ship. (Y/n) forced herself to keep her composure when she was about to meet Alfor, Melenor and Allura, she barely heard what Zarkon said until she heard him say her name when he introduced her to the three alteans in front of their little group.

“It's very nice to finally meet you, (Y/n). Lotor has told us a lot about you.” Allura spoke with a friendly tone when she addressed (Y/n), pulling the young human woman out of her thoughts.

“It's great to finally meet you as well, Al- Princess Allura.” (Y/n) began to say casually until she remembered that she wasn't in the alternate reality with Voltron; she then spoke formally to Allura, not wanting to accidentally cause an intergalactic war if she came off as too friendly.

“My parents and I hope you all have a wonderful time at the festival.” Allura responded, beaming a genuine smile as she turned her attention to everyone from Daibazaal.

(Y/n) was glad that Allura nor her parents noticed her little mistake, then when Lotor came forward she knew it was time to go enjoy the festival. Vrul went to go look for his friend, Kumo and Haxus went off on their own and Zarkon went to go take Lotor to the finest bakery on Altea. Sendak reached down and held one of (Y/n's) hands, he planned on taking her to one of his favorite cafés on Altea for lunch so she could try one of his favorite dishes that was only made and sold during the festival. There were people visiting from all over the galaxy, at some point (Y/n) could have sworn that she saw Blaytz, Trigel and Gyrgan amongst the crowd. She made sure to grip Sendak's hand tightly because she didn't want to get separated from him and accidentally get lost, but with her boyfriend there with her she wouldn't have to worry about it. They walked for a while and weaved through the crowd, (Y/n) kind of lost track of where they were until Sendak stopped walking, prompting her to stop walking as well.
