Happy birthday to you, That's how this story started, happy birthday to you, They all sang with so much happiness, happy birthday dear Lance! I felt important, happy birthday to you! Everyone cheered and clapped as I blew out the candles on my cake. I turned 23 that day, all my closest friends were there with me, Hunk and Pidge, my best friends since I can remember, Allura, Shiro, Coran, my mentors back at the Garrison, and my boyfriend Keith, we've been dating for about 6 years.

"It's time to cut the cake!" Hunk exclaimed, he made the cake just for me, with Pidge's help of course. Pig went up to me and handed me the knife like a sword.

"To the legendary Lance McCrapface on his day of birth" Pidge snorted as she handed me the knife, everyone started making fake trumpet noises as I grabbed the knife.

"Thanks Pidge Gundorkson," I laughed, "I now declare this cake to be," I raised the knife up high like a sword, "CUT!" I cried, cutting the first slice of cake. I placed the cake on a plate and put it to the side for myself. I cut pieces for everyone else, when I cut Keith's slice, I kissed the top of it and handed it to him.

"You cheesy flirt" Keith gave me a soft shoulder punch and blushed.

We all sat at a table and ate the cake, it was a red velvet cake with vanilla ice cream in the middle.

"Hunk the cake is amazing!"Allura exclaimed with delight, her eyes lit up with stars in them. Hunk blushed and replied;

"Thank you! It was a team effort with Pidge, to make Lance the best birthday cake ever!" We all talked at the table, like all good friends do. Talking about the Garrison, and all the annoying freshman who enrolled, some who want to gain piloting experience, and those who are there for fun and don't care.

"The class was so out of control, we couldn't teach them anything!" Coran exclaimed, he slammed his fists on the table rambling about who students made fun of his accent.

"I think they hired a new teacher, foreign I believe?" Allura added. Shiro also added;

"Lotor I think it was, apart of the defense classes."

"Lotor what is that? French?" I laughed silently, Allura gave me a glance and sighed;

"Why must every name you don't know have to be French?"

"Because the French have weird names!" Everyone at the table looked at me and sighed in unison.

"You may be 23 now, but you're still immature as hell." Pidge murmured, I stood up and went in her face.

"You wanna go bitch, we'll go right now, you, me, let's go!" I started bouncing up and down throwing fake punches. Pidge got up and did the same as me. Keith stood and got between us, he smiled and said;

"The fight of the century, the amazing Pidge the Bird VS Lance the birthday boy, or known as 'El destructor de glúteos' In Spanish that means the butt destroyer, cause I kick everyone's asses, sometimes, rarely, never to be honest.

Pidge and I wrestled on the carpet, she won because she tackled me to the floor before we started, but everyone thought it was fair.

"Pidge the Bird conquers all!" Pidge exclaimed raising her arms in the air, everyone cheered. I got up and shook her hand.

"Great match Gundorkson!" I said sarcastically, Pidge rolled her eyes and squeezed my hand.

"You too McCrapface!" We both laughed.

The clock hit 11:30 Everyone was on their way out, except for Keith, I shared an apartment with him. We waved everybody goodbye, but Shiro stayed at the doorway.
