Pink Lemonade

Chapter 1

He felt so light, as if he was floating. His limbs felt like jelly and his mind drowsy, like some sort of high, like waking up from a deep sleep. And a voice, muted and distant like an echo, calling his name. Oh, how he loved hearing this voice.

"Keith? Come on, man. I need you awake right now."

Wait. A voice? A voice he loved to hear? Lance? He willed the cloud in his mind away, and forced his eyes open. He saw Lance for a split second before shutting his eyes again. It was too bright, it made his eyes sting. He lifted his hand up to his eyes, rubbing the sleep and the drowsiness away. He felt a pair of hands, urging him to sit up, and holding him there.

When he finally willed his eyes open again, they didn't hurt anymore. Instead, it was what he saw that freaked him out. He seemed to be sitting on a patch of... Pink grass?

He finally looked up at Lance who smiled a smile of relief and let out a small sigh.

"Finally man. You scared the crap out of me you know? For a second there I thought you might be dead." He chuckled.

"Where are we? What happened? Is everything here pink or did I inhale something?" Keith was so confused, last thing he remembers is the fight. Zarkon sending another giant monster after them, Voltron getting hit by this giant beam of light and everything from that point on is blank. That must've been when he lost consciousness.

"Remember how Voltron got busted apart in that fight?" Keith shook his head lightly.

"Well, yeah, okay anyways. This monster hits us with this super laser beam attack or whatever that was and we get busted apart. I just remember flying really far away and my lion hitting something and that's when I passed out. When I woke up, we were here. You were still unconscious in Red so I busted you out and waited for you to wake up."

"So, do you have any idea where we are?"

"Not in the slightest. I tried looking around for a bit but none of the other paladins seem to be here. So I thought I'd come back and wait for you to wake up and we can try contacting the others."

"Yeah, good idea. Are the lions in any state to fly?"

"I don't know about Red but Blue can't, I tried. Most of the stuff in the cockpit seems to be working but her engine got busted."

Keith held onto Lance as he tried to stand, his legs still felt a bit shaky but overall he was fine, no noticeable injury.

This place, it was as beautiful as it was unsettling. Everything, and Keith meant literally everything, was pink. Various shades spread across the ground and the luscious trees, filled with many different kinds of birds, which were also pink. Holy crap there was a lot of birds. And that wasn't even the weirdest thing. Some sort of sheer mist was everywhere around them, it didn't seem to be doing anything. It didn't make it hard to breathe, didn't make it hard to see, almost as if it was just steam.

Lance helped him up into his lion where they debated who to call. It ended up being Pidge because if anyone would be near their lion at the time it was her, probably feeling frustrated and trying to fix the damage.

She picked up almost immediately and yelled into the screen: "Lance! Wait right there, don't move. I'll get Shiro and the others immediately!"

True to her words, Pidge came back, not a minute later, with Allura, Coran and the rest of the paladins. Not that they were going anywhere anyways.

"Where the hell are you two?! We've been looking everywhere!"

"That's the thing Pidge! We don't know where we are!"
