Chapter 3

Allura's memorable moments

Allura sits quietly in the west library in the Castle of Lions. She has a book in her hand, but she is just thinking about her life in the past years. She finally had friends. True most of them were boys. She discovered family in a Planet far away in Romelle and Bandor. Romelle and her so close in age that she had become her confident quickly. Romelle and Allura shared secrets, a shared disgust for Lotor, and the loss of close family.

She was remembering the day that the gang came to the old Castle of Lions. When She and Coran accepted their help against King Zarkon. Keith was the first to kneel and grabbed her hand. He pledged his allegiance and kissed her hand. She remembered the rush she felt when his lips touch her skin. Their eyes met and they held their gaze for a moment. That was the day the most of Voltron came back to life. When King Alfor appeared to all of them and deputized them with the secret of Voltron and the beginning of it all.

That was also the day when King Zarkon destroyed most of the original Castle of lions, the first time I took a stand and fought along with my people. I couldn't take it anymore. I just grabbed a gun and fired to my heart's content. I was proud of the team. They were able to form Voltron. The new Castle of Lions emerged from the ashes from the old. The castle was the new beacon of hope to the people of Arus.

Then there was Sven who was injured for protecting her from the evil witch, Haggar, and her blue cat. She cried so hard that night. The cat was aiming for her, he rescued her, send her for help, she was almost too late to save him. She took it upon herself to fly the Blue Lion, until he returns. The day Nanny returned. Nanny humiliated her for no reason. As Princess it was her duty to help save her people. Nanny never understood any of that. Everything was always about propriety.

"Princess?" Pidge emerges from the hallway. "Are you okay?"

"Hey there Pidge, I didn't hear you come in. I was just..."Allura searches for a way to collect her thoughts and give an answer that would not give her away from what she was thinking.

"Daydreaming" Pidge stated.

"Yes I was..." she giggles

"About what?"

"Nothing in particular, Pidge."

"uh-huh, didn't seem like that to me" he giggles and adjusts his glasses

"Well if you must know, I was thinking about all that has been accomplished these past years. I feel like there is still a lot for me to do, before I get married off. Coran means well, I know, it just had for me to comprehend that at the moment."

"You sure it's him that wants this? I believe this to be more a Nanny idea than his."

"No, it's duty. He and I discussed this once before, though he didn't press the matter. I was hoping that he forgot about it."

"No such luck"

"None what so ever, Pidge" she smiles at him. Pidge had become her like a little brother to her. After Pidge had lost his home planet, she made it a point for him to feel at home there on Arus.

"Well, you know that we will help you, Princess. We all want you to be happy, and we know what is truly important to you" Pidge says

Lance and Hunk enter the room and sit with them. Lance begins "Princess, I say that you rebel against this; you should marry when you want to, not when you are told to."

Hunk slaps Lance in the back of the face "Do not put any more pressure on her Lance. She doesn't need that from us. Princess, we know that this duty is befalling on you all of the sudden, but we know that Coran has to do his duty, just tell us how you want to proceed. "Hunk says with a concerning smile. All of the guys have grown so much and had become such a great support to her: Hunk and Pidge especially. Lance was a great friend, but he still wanted to be more than that with her. He wasn't subtle about it.

Allura just smiles. She knew their feelings. The only person she that was still somewhat of a mystery to her was Keith. Keith kept his distance from her. He was still there for her, but it wasn't the same. He was more about duty. Even though to her, she felt more for him and she knew she could never tell a soul; beside her mouse friends.

Chidder at that moment came to her. This little cheeky thing was the one that knew it all; the little plump pink thing. Always closer to the princess, the only female friend she had.

Nanny came in looking for the Allura at that moment. "Princess, there you are, finally Coran has come to his senses and is going to bring the suitors that have been waiting for you. I am so happy. I will no longer have to be on the looking out for you in those calamities that you should not be having. Princesses should not be running amok in flying death contraptions, when there are plenty of good men out there that could do this job. Oh I am so happy!" She hugs Allura and just beams with pride and this unfathomable remake. Nanny doesn't realize how much this statement hurts Allura.

Nanny never understood the pride that Allura took in defending her planet from danger. All those years in hiding watching it deteriorate under the constant threat, the feeling of hopelessness she felt, and finally when the boys came with the return of Voltron. The hope that was instilled in her, and how she almost lost it, she was determined to rid her planet from the danger, even if her life was gone in the process. She didn't want to be in the sidelines again.

With a lot composure on her part Allura spoke "Yes, Nanny I won't fight Coran on this. Arus is in a point where I can focus on this. Now, Nanny let us focus on our tasks for the day, and not talk about this right now."

Flustered Nanny "No, I have waited years for this to come Allura. You will let me have this moment. I have earned that much."

Feeling defiant "Nanny, I don't remind you often of your place. You may be my Nanny, but I have long outgrown you. And my word goes, not yours. So no, go about your daily duties and leave me alone. That is an order!" Allura doesn't often speak with authority with people, but she was in no mood for Nanny today. She was losing her freedom; she did not need to have her nose rubbed in it.
