*Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep* Pidge yawned, rolled over, and blindly whacked the alarm clock until it stopped beeping. Then she stumbled out of bed and into the bathroom. She grabbed a hairbrush and brushed her short hair, before stumbling back out of the bathroom and opening her closet. 'Hmm...... what to wear, what to wear.' She reached toward a flowery top and matching pants. 'No, that won't work, I'm hanging out with Lance, Shiro, Hunk, and Keith this afternoon.'  She then started for a football jersey and worn out jeans. 'No, I'm going to Matt's science fair thing this morning. That would be awkward.' Eventually Pidge decided on a green t-shirt and nice jeans. Then she headed down for breakfast.

Matt's project was a hit. A ton of people had gathered around him as he demonstrated his new invention. Pidge slipped away and wanted the aisles, looking at projects. Eventually she stumbled across a secluded corner. Pidge sat down and pulled out her phone and opened a new tab in safari. Then she typed into the search engine: How do I know if I'm trans? Then Pidge started scrolling through the links until she found something interesting.

Lance walked up to the fountain where Shiro, Hunk, and Keith were waiting. "Hey guys." He said. "Where's Pidge?" "Right here" said a bush. 'Wait, a talking bush?!' shouted Lance. "Guys, I'm behind the bush." said Pidge, from behind the bush. "Oh, right, I knew that." said Lance sheepishly. "Sure you did, idiot." Keith said. "I did." Lance replied indignantly, crossing his arms and turning away from Keith. "Alright lovebirds, break it up" Shiro said, stepping between the two. "I don't like him!" Lance and Keith said in unison. "Yeah, yeah, sure." Pidge said, standing up from behind the bush and sitting on the side of the fountain. "Well maybe you are the lovebirds!" Lance retorted stupidly. "Who is?" Keith asked. "Pidge and Shiro!" Lance replied. "Umm.... No. I'm very happy with Alura, thank you very much. Besides, I'm straight." Shiro said, crossing his arms. Pidge frowned, "Yeah, and, um.... I'm, uh..." "Hey Pidge, who do you like?" Hunk asked. "Yeah!" Lance added. "Why are we talking about crushes? What are we, girls?" Keith complained. "Pidge is." Lance said teasingly. "What?! But I'm -I'm not..." Pidge stuttered. "I mean, does he even have a Y chromosome? Remember that time he showed up with his nails painted!" Lance continued. Everyone turned to Pidge. "Of course I, I mean - I - I have one - I mean, I'm a guy - of course, some people don't but I - I'm." Pidge spluttered. "Hey, guys, stop teasing Pidge." Shiro cut in. "Thanks Shiro." Pidge said, "I got to go home now." Then he ran off. "But you just got here!" Lance called after him.
