Shiro looked at Matt with the dream in mind. It was the type of dream he hopes to never have again. It involved everything he feared of. He closed his eyes as it all came flooding back.

He was trapped in a purple room. The walls were closing in. He knew he had to escape, but he knew no way how. Suddenly he felt chocked. He noticed small hands wrapped around his neck. He turned his head the best he could to get a glimpse of brown hair and wicked yellow eyes. It was Katie, but she was part galra.

"You left me behind to rot. You left me to them! I hate you to the very ends of my being. Die, Takashi Shirogane!" she yelled and tightened her hands around his neck. After a few minutes of struggling, his vision began to fade and he felt his strength reclining. 

"I'm... sorry!" he choked out, somehow managing the words. He was on the edge of consciousness when she let go. He fell to the floor with a hard thunk. He looked up at her through tired eyes and saw the menacing look she gave him.

"Sorry? Sorry!? There is no sorry. Die a pitiful death, you betraying abnormal heathen,"  she sneered and stomped on his face with the heel of her boots. She was fully clothed in galra armor. He could see her face, twisted with hatred.

He never wanted to see her like that and it was because of him. Katie kicked him across the room and faded. Suddenly a new figure was there. Keith.

"I don't need you. You're worthless and weak. I can take care of myself," he said and pressed his heel into Shiro's arm causing the older male to grunt in pain. More figures slowly appeared and attacked him.

Then Katie reappeared. She was bloody and bruised, drenched in sweat and tears. "I'm suffering because of you! They are suffering because of you! You think you can lead a team to defeat Zarkon? You? A mere weak human who can't even save a girl? What right do you have?" she shouted.

A sharp object appeared in her hand and she held it tight in a fist above her head then brought in down into Shiro's side. Pain erupted in that area, spreading to the furthest parts of his body. He'd been stabbed with a poisonous blade by the girl he loved while surrounded by the people he cared for.

That was when he woke up in tears. "It was horrible. Katie resented me and a lot of stuff happened," Shiro began and poured out the story, "At first we were in a white room as she beat me up dressed like a galra with their glowing yellow eyes. Then everyone else appeared and lectured me about my weak body."

 "The entire dream is why you're messed up, right? The thought of being weak and you leaving Katie behind, even if it wasn't intentional, haunts you. Now you're worried about her current situation and status," Matt said and stood. "Don't worry, man. Katie is strong and she'll get through. I bet she is beating them up as we speak!"


"This sucks!" Katie shouted as she lounged on the ground. It had been only a few hours, maybe even a day, and she was already bored. She took out the chip she put the galra information on. Plugging it in to the alien tech computer, she thought of what to do. She waited for a response. 

By time the screen appeared showing all kinds of galra related information, she had decided. She'll try her best to intercept passing galra and send the information she finds out back to base. If she can't she'll just listen in to some passerby's conversation. It would be like a TV show, but on a radio. If she was going to suffer in the desolate hide-out then she'll need to find some form of entertainment.

Setting up her tech, she began to wait for a conversation via communicators to appear. To her surprise, she didn't have to wait long. Good thing it was galra. A chance to gather information for the rebels.

"Voltron keeps ruining our plans! Zarkon will have our heads if we can't get those lions for him!" one galra said to another in the transmission. 

Voltron: A large space bot that has been recovering land from Zarkon one at a time. The bot has five separate pieces that can be connected to form 'Voltron.' Each is a space cat with paladins piloting them. It is great to have another strong force against the galra empire, but Katie did hate that in such a short time that they have done more then the resistance ever could:

Get on Zarkon's nerves to the point they were the most wanted on his list. All Katie did was transport 'illegal' materials, protect, and save. She never recovered a place from galra control.

"I know, but we have a plan straight from Zarkon himself. We will try to capture them once again. He wants them gone and we will deliver. That is our duty," the other said. They left her system's reach and she could no longer hear their conversation. 

"Perfect! Zarkon is after the lions and the death of the paladins. Speaking of them, I wonder who they are...," she said to herself. Katie closed her eyes. It must have been a day, she was tired. Sleep took over and she fell into a world of dreams.

"Come on, Pidge!" child Matt called. Younger Katie looked behind her and stuck her tongue out. She was in a field of golden flowers being chased by her younger brother. Behind them on the side of the field was her mother and father, watching with smiles. 

Matt returned her gesture then suddenly stopped running. She collided into something. Not completely hard like a rock wall, but solid enough to knock her to the ground without toppling itself. She looked up to find the one and only Takashi Shirogane.

He smiled and offered her a hand. She took up his offer and he helped her to her feet. Their hands lingered there for an extra moment and Matt tackled her, calling victory.

It was no mere dream, but a memory returning to her in the form of a dream.
