"Paladins! I have news! We have been invited to a ball by the Sirians." PrincessAllurasays excitedly

"Um, Princess are you sure this is a good idea? After what happened last time and all," Katie says nervously

"But of course we! We all need a night off and it will be splendid! But you all must not wear your Paladin uniforms.Coran should have something for you boys to wear. Pidge you are to come with me. I have the perfect dress for you,"Allura tells the paladins and Pidge sighs sadly.Allura starts happily dragging Katie to her room to get ready. The boys all laugh at the thought of Pidge in a dress.

"Maybe tonight will be fun after all" Keith says smirking remembering how Shiro and Katie first meet.

~~Flashback~~

"I don't understand why I have to come tonight...It's a masquerade ball and I don't like dancing. Why do I have to go Shiro?" Keith asks Shiro. Shiro looks at Keith a little disappointed.

"Because I want you to meet a few of my friends." Shiro states firmly fixing his tie and looks over at Keith again. "Go get dressed. Clean up."

Keith sighs and goes to get ready. About an hour later Keith walks out ready and they leave. As they walk into the ballroom

Keith notices Shiro's eyes on a girl across the room with long brown hair and honey eyes in a long black dress with a green belt. Slowly he sees a boy with short brown hair and glasses walk up to Shiro and hug him.

"Hey man! What's up Shiro?" The boy asks with his arm on his shoulder.

"Hey Matt. Nothing much. There is someone I want you to meet. This is my brother Keith." Shiro says pointing to Keith. Matt shakes his hand.

"It's nice to meet you Keith. I've heard a lot about you."Matt says smiling and leansinto whisper in Keith's ear. " What is Shiro looking at? He seems distracted,"

Keith whispers back "There's a girl across the room. Long black dress, green belt, long brown hair, and honey eyes. I think she has caught is attention," as Keith says this his eyes widen and after a minute Matt yells

"WAIT WHAT!?" he looks around and smiles apologetically to the people around them. "Shiro I'll be right back. I'm going to go grab my sister." Matt runs off and a minute later comes back with the girl Shiro has stared at for the last half hour. "Shiro this is my sister Katie, Katie this is my friend Shiro." Matt says smirking.

Katie looks up lightly smiling and says "It's nice to meet you." she looks away blushing as Shiro takes her hand and kisses the back of her hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Katie. would you like to dance?" Shiro asks as Matt starts to smirk more but at the same time gets annoyed because his best friend is flirting with his sister.

"I would love too." Katie says and they slowly move on to the dance floor. Keith and Matt watch as Shiro and Katie slowly start to dance together...slowly loving closer. All of a sudden Katie throws her head back laughing and is twirled by Shiro.

"You think they will be happy?" Keith asks Matt looking over his shoulder at him.

"Lets just say if he hurts her he will die" Matt says and laughs lightly. Out of nowhere a guy Keith's age walks up and steals him away. They dance the boy cracks jokes and talks but Keith doesn't hear anything just dances and watches Shiro and Katie. The boy dancing with Keith eventually gives up dancing or talking to Keith and sighslightly while walking away. Keith walks back over to Matt only to see him smirking.

~~Flashback ends~~

Keith goes to his room after getting what he is to wear from Coran to get ready, wondering if tonight will bring back any of Shiro's memories of Katie.
