Lovely »Pidge/Katie • Voltron«

When Katie got off the balcony and waved one last time, adrenaline rushed through her and she smiled widely at her fiancé.

"That was incredible! Your people, they love you, adore you! It's astonishing how united you all are!" She exclaimed before covering her mouth in an embarrassed attempt to shut her up. "Sorry..."

"Nothing to apologize for, love. I'm glad you think that but remember this is our people. You will be a leader of this empire, they will love you just as they love me." Lotor said softly.

"Of course, how can I resist my fiancé." She teased to which Lotor blushed brightly.

     While they walked in a comfortable silence, they held hands. The prince didn't know if he could contain such happiness, his beloved finally reciprocated the feelings. He knew one day she would find out that her friends thought she was dead but for now he would support the idea that they forgot her or found a new paladin.

     Abruptly, the couple turned to the sound of loud footsteps. Lotor's generals saluted before Acxa stood up to state the situation.

"My liege, there's activity outside the palace barriers. We apologize but it is something that needs your immediate attention. We fear it intends to aim to harm the future of your marriage."

     The pair was stunned and Pidge became angered, why would someone attempt to separate her and Lotor? Did they not have anything else to do? She looked to her fiancé for explanation but he simply kissed her lips sensually and began to take off. Before he could, Katie grabbed his hand almost weakly.

"Lotor, what's going on? I don't want to be a maiden in distress, I wanna' defend your empire. Our empire."

"Leave us." He ordered and the generals ran through a different hallway opening. He caressed the former galactic warrior's face. "Katie, I love you but I need you safe. I will not live a happy life knowing you are not safe. Stay here and after I am done with this I will take you to the garden. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Thank you, dear. Please go back to your chambers. Do you need a guard to guide you?"

"No, I'm fine. Good luck." She kissed his cheek and her face gave a sad expression as he rushed into the same direction his generals had.

She looked around quickly, making sure no one was watching her as she walked towards a different route that she knew did not lead to her bedroom. She had enough time to mope around when she refused to be Lotor's wife-to-be and made a mental map of all the castle's rooms. Katie wasn't a damsel in distress, and she sure as hell wasn't going to let Lotor stop her from finding out what was going on.

Stealthily, she walked into the control room. The place was heavily guarded but Katie was a paladin of Voltron, she was no fazed as she whisked away through four sentries. The people within the control room did not seem to notice and she squinted her eyes to see her chances of getting inside. There were only two men and one woman, not ten minutes later did she beat them unconscious.

She sat in a large chair and watched the cameras that were dispersed around the ship. Suddenly, a loud static voice requested back up on the fourth quadrant to which Ezor complied.

"The Black Lion is heading straight towards the  attack pods! I order you to stop him at all costs!"

That was Lotor's voice.

That's was Lotor's voice telling his people to stop Shiro.

Shiro was at the ship.

She ran out of that room, ran as far as she could to find nearest available opening where the ship's defenders would lift off. An open platform on the sixth floor, sentries would stop her unless she could find some sort of secret passage. Luckily, no one went through vents.

The Green Paladin sprinted to her bedroom where there was a vent opening above. She paid no mind to concerned sentries and locked the doors before unscrewing the simple locks.

"I'm coming home." She whispered, almost sadly as she pulled herself into the vents.

A/N: I don't like doing author's notes, but I'll try to make this a one time. I'm going to be posting a short story. It's Shidge but it also messes around with others pairs that involve Pidge. Cool? Cool, just thought you guys should know. Like, an advertisement. This chapter seemed kind of rushed, because it was. But you know, stuff happens. I hope you like it? Because I still put thought into it so it would all turn into an interesting plot? Alright, bye.
