Pidge looked up at hunk with wonder-filled eyes. "Woah," she smiled.
"Pidge you only ate one slice more than me so you'll return to normal next." he breathed happily placing his hands against her rounded cheeks.
"Hun! Why did you not tell me you knew magics!" she squealed clapping her tiny hands. Her hair had grown out a lot since they left earth and her bangs were now long enough to flop over her eyes.
"Well, a magician never reveals his secrets!" Hunk chuckled playing along. He removed pidge from his lap to talk to the other adults.
"Shiro did you move Lances," he paused leaning close to his ear. "Candy stash?"
Lance had somehow managed to collect bags of skittles, tiny chocolate bars, and Reese's peanut butter cups which were hidden in a locked blue box in his sock drawer.
Shiro sighed turning to count the kids. Only a bored Pidge was still there. "No!" all three of them raced over to his room to see the door open and Lance and Kieth carefully separating the skittles based on color.
"I only like, like the- the yellow ones," he explained to Kieth who didn't at all seem phased by the oddly obsessive sorting.
"I only like the purple ones." the red-clad boy replied taking that pile.
The adults watched through the door frame as Pidge waddled in. "I smell skitzels," she sang pumping her fist sitting crisscrossed next to the boys.
"What color do you like?" Kieth asked her.
She pushed up her glasses. "All of them"
They shook their heads in unison taking a handful of each color and passing them to her. Lance then pulled out the Reeses cups. He handed one to Kieth and then Pidge putting the rest away. His room was surprisingly neat.
Hunk covered his smile with his hand. Kieth's ear actually twitched catching a wave of Shiros happy exhale. Doing an awkward set of rolls towards the door he clicked his tongue pointing at the three spies.
"Captain, I have three spies in my sights. What's the plan of action?" he whispered to Lance holding his hands together like a gun.
"Capture them!" pidge smirked suggestively.
Lance nodded for the first time feeling relaxed and happy, "let's moo!" they chased after the adults splitting up on their individual targets. Pidge raced after Shiro making little laser sounds as she pointed at him. He hid behind a pillar as she turned the corner. She paused walking slower slightly confused.
"Shir-" she yelped in surprise as he jumped out and tickled her. She began to laugh uncontrollably.
He carried her on his shoulders, "You're on our team now! Let's go get the boys." she nodded in agreement a new gaze of determination taking place.
Kieth was more stealthy. Creeping behind pillars humming the spy theme song to himself. He heard a giggle and turned to look behind him. A single mistake that allowed Allura to tickle him from the side meaning he was out to.
Lance watched Hunk look for him by the sofa and took aim. A single pop rang from his mouth. And his best friend fell to the ground dramatically clutching his chest. "Noooooo! Bested by a cub!" he whined playfully.
Lance appeared from his hiding spot. "Relax Hunk! You aren't dead. You still- you still, gotta, gotta help me get the others. I have, have a feeling my team is, is down!"
Hunk hopped up onto his feet pulling lance into a piggyback ride. They crouched behind the sofa watching as the four others called out. "Lance its over!" Allura said.
"We've got Kieth and Pidge! You're outnumbered." Shiro taunted playfully.
"Let me win! And I'll say we tied" Pidge added.
Hunk chuckled, "That makes absolutely no sense pidgeon."
"Lance there's no way you can do this. Not without help!" Kieth added.
They split up two on each side smirks of victory splitting their faces. Lance chewed the inside of his cheeks tapping Hunks cheek impatiently. "On the count of three throw me in the air, and- and duck for cover, "he instructed.
Hunks mouth stayed partly opened giving quiet protests warning him about safety. But Lance shushed him gently immediately apologizing. "Trust me, please? One. Two. Three!" he shouted the last number and Hunk launched him up in the air.
The five others looked up in amazement as Lance did a collection of flips almost seeming to hover at his highest point nailing each one of them with his sound laser. Before gracefully landing on his feet on the couch. "I win!" he cheered voice still soft as he gave his friends a wink.
Pidge sneezed and poofed back into her normal age. She took a moment to adjust before She screamed, " that was amazing!' her eyes flicked down to the loose flowy play dress that hugged her form, "Why! Who?"
"Guilty, I thought you looked adorable," Allura answered lifting Lance into her arms. "How did you do that! I never knew you were so graceful!"
Lance stuttered asking weakly to be be put down. "I uh, Used to take gym-nas-tics," he explained as his feet touched the floor. he straightened his shirt before turning to Keith, "Sharp work samurai! I saved you!" the boys laughed giving each other a hug.
Pidge yawned staring at her outfit in a mixture of love and uncomfortableness, "I need to change..." she sighed looking at the dress with a frown.
"Two down, two to go." Shiro yawned giving Allura and Coran a high five.
