A Shidge Tale (ShiroxPidge)

Chapter 1

The alarm blared throughout the castle and all the halls were flashing red.

"PALADINS! Everyone to your lions, we're being attacked!" Allura shouted.

All the paladins immediately dressed in their armor and hurried to the lions. Getting an emergency call was nothing new to them, but it still startled them from their peaceful slumber. They were used to it by now so they just brushed off their drowsiness and prepared for battle. However, one pair was unusually slow.

Pidge and Shiro woke up together in the same room. Since they were dating, it was not unusual to find the two together most of the time.

As they hurriedly got their suits on, Shiro noticed something was off. Pidge's movements were sluggish and she looked queasy -practically green -turns out that's exactly how she felt. A wave of nausea hit her so hard, she worried she would have vomited right there on floor, but she swallowed hard to tame her stomach.

"Are you okay Pidge?" Shiro asked his girlfriend with concern, putting a comforting hand on her hunched back.

"I'll be fine. I probably just got up too fast. Go, I'll meet you guys out there." She responded, she would have said more to reassure him, but she felt like the more she talked the more likely she would have just collapsed.

Shiro felt awful to just leave her, but there was an emergency right outside their walls. Beside he knew Pidge was strong enough to handle a little nausea, how bad could it be?

"Alright, just take a minute okay? Don't push yourself." Shiro put on his helmet and ran out the sliding doors to the hanger. Pidge knew she had to be out there, so she stood up straight, took a deep breath and ignored the second wave as nausea hit her again. She ran to her lion a few minutes behind Shiro and departed.

A Galra ship was greeting them with sentries right outside the castle walls. One after another, they spewed out of the giant command ship and fired their lasers.

"Alright team, you know the drill, we faced battle ships like this before. Hunk take out the ion cannon while the rest of us distract the sentries, Princess start getting that wormhole jump ready."

"You got it!" Hunk dived to his left, on his way to the cannon. With his lion's strong armor, he was able to bust through the barrier and destroy the weapon easily.

Lasers and blasters were fired left and right and explosions were blazing through the space field. The Galra were no match for the power of the lions. It was an easy victory for the Paladins of Voltron. When Allura got the wormhole working and they were safe, the warriors cheered in there perfect conquest.

"Pheww! That was a good battle. My adrenaline is running so fast I could do 50 laps on the training deck!" Lance said with a proud smile on his face as he walked side by side with his friends.

"I can do 100 laps." Keith challenged.

"Wait did I say 50? I meant 1,000."

"Yeah right!"

"Alright, thats enough you 2. Today was a good battle, lets just leave it at that." Shiro interrupted to stop the bickering. He looked around and didn't see his girlfriend anywhere. "Uh, where's Pidge? I thought she was right here?"

"Oh! I saw her rush to the bathroom, she didn't look so good." Hunk answered.

Shiro's eyes visibly showed worry. He walked past his friends and through the door they just came from. "I'm gonna go check on her. Start breakfast without us." The others watched him leave, to see him worry made them worry. What was going on with their youngest paladin?
