Lost and Found

Chapter 8

"Zoe, wake the hell up!"

Ami yelled as she burst into Allura's room, she instantly saw the mess of blonde curls on the pillow.

"Zoe Madelyn Blake, I know you can hear me, don't you dare ignore me!"

She grabbed a pillow and lobbed it at the girl in the bed. Ami saw the blonde mess move as Zoe sat up.

"Ami?"

Ami jumped on the bed startling the green eyed girl.

"What's wrong?" Zoe asked rubbing her eyes tiredly.

"What's wrong is that instead of waking me up and telling me about your nightmare, you leave in the middle of the night, do you know how worried I was when I woke up and you weren't there"

Ami choked on her words as tears started falling down her cheeks. Zoe instantly sat up on her knees, wrapping her arms around Ami as she cried into her shoulder. As much as she hated the feeling of the material of her top becoming wet and soggy, ami was her rock when she needed her, so it was Zoe's turn to be ami's rock.

"Hey, hey I'm okay I promise, no one on this ship will hurt me, I know you don't trust them yet but I do so just trust me on this one"

Zoe felt her eyes water as she heard Ami's ragged breathing. It was unlike the red head to cry in front of anyone, Zoe was a rare exception. Ami looked at her and put a warm hand on Zoe's cheek

"You're amazing you know that right, what did I do to deserve someone like you?" ami chuckles as Zoe grinned.

"Well if I remember correctly you threatened to break the nose of the bully" the two girls laughed, ami wiped her eyes and face of tears.

"I don't know what I'd do without you Zoe" ami smiled softly as the blonde looked down bashfully.

Ami reached her hand out and ruffled Zoe's already messy hair. Zoe's small hand swatted hers away, ami's eyes glanced at the pink bracelet on her wrist.

"Come on, we should fix your bed hair before we talk to Allura"

Zoe's eyes seemed to light up at Allura's name. Zoe really did like the white haired woman, but ami was still sceptical about her. She felt that there was something that she was missing but she couldn't understand what.

"Fine..."

Zoe pouted at the mention of her messy locks but sat down on the bed so Ami could fix them for her.

"So I don't know what this is exactly, but I think it's some kind of comb"

Ami flashed a little tool with some sharp spike that resembled a comb in some sort of way. Her eyes widened at the thought of Ami running that through her hair.

"Y-you're not putting that thing on my head"

"Oh stop being silly and turn around, it won't take long at all"

Ami grabbed Zoe's shoulders and pushed her down onto the bed so she could kneel next to her before brushing her hair. Zoe fidgeted in attempt to escape but it was useless under Ami's strength.

"Please Ami"

Ami raised an eyebrow before raising the comb and brushing some of Zoe's, long matted hair. All of a sudden Zoe let out an ear piercing scream.

"Jesus Christ Zoe it wasn't that bad, you didn't have to scream like that"

The two girls made their way down the corridor to the main control room; Zoe was walking a few steps ahead of Ami with her hands on her newly brushed hair. She turned back and glared at the red head.

"IT WAS HORRIBLE"

Ami put her hands up in defeat, a small grin on her face, agitating her small friend.

"STOP GRINNING IT'S NOT FUNNY"

"Oh Zoe, it's all we had, did you really want Voltron to see you like that"

Ami caught up with Zoe and nudged her slightly, her grin widening.

"Especially that Lance, I'm sure you want to look your best for your prince is not so shining armour"

Zoe's face lit up red at the mention of Lance's name, she smacked Ami on her arm in embarrassment.

"AMI!"

The red head laughed at Zoe and began to run ahead of her, sticking her tongue out to annoy her.

"I'll go and tell Lance that you put the effort in just for him"

Zoe's eyes widened before running ahead of Ami, holding her arms, trying to stop her from moving ahead. Zoe feet began to slide backwards as Ami pushed herself forwards.

"Ami, no don't do it"

She stopped and ran her fingers through the blonde's hair, a warm smile replacing the grin.

"I'm glad to see you have your energy back Zo, coz you're going to need it!"

She grabbed her hand and they both ran the rest of the way to the control room, leaving Zoe in confusion.

"Oh wonderful your both here, we can now discuss our new situation"

Zoe tilted her head at the white head in front of her,

"What situation?"

QOTD: what type of relationships do you think will be made between the paladins, Ami and Zoe?
