The Wrong Way Around

Keith's POV

Today is the day that everything changes for us. Am I ready?

Absolutely not.

The four of us suit up like usual but with a new sense of purpose as we load into our lions.
"So the red and blue lions have made their final Paladin choices?" Pidge asks.

"Pidge, oh my god! We get your irritability at the fact that our lions never deep to stick to a paladin! Let it go!"

"Okok, I'm sorry. Just don't loose your cool today. We have to be leaders to the Garrison you know."
"I can't believe this. We never even finished cadet training and now we're gonna have a bunch of officers treat us like legends! You would think it was the other way around." Hunk comments.
"Guys we don't have time for this. We need to get to the Garrison."

We go over to our lions and fly them back to the Garrison in time to see the High Commander with the daily report.

"Today will be different for most of you. Officers, Commanders and Sergeants, you will be put into training with the Voltron Paladins. Paladins, you will all be in charge of your own fleet. You have been matched with the officers in your fleet. As for you cadets, you will all be assigned to stay with your regular schedule but when the Galra come, you will be evacuated immediately. Is that understood?"

In response, the Garrison answered with a salute and a stiff "Yes, Mam!"

And then the four of us were taken inside the Garrison conference halls to meet the members of our individual fleets.

Fan-quiznacking-tastic. Just the thing I was trying to avoid!

As we were being guided down halls I've never seen before, the four of us got sight of Adam.

He was holding a clipboard with complex graphs and blue prints of some sorts.

Adam had prepared a presentation and was wearing his Engineer medal again.

The four of us greeted him.

To my surprise, he was different than his usual reckless sarcastic foul mouthed self.

"You got your old position again?" I asked him.

"Yeah! I'm going to be adding more upgrades to your lions!"

"That's good to hear." Lance says.

"Dude, you have no idea how good it feels to be back! Just wait until you see what we have planned for upgrades!"

There's the Adam I remember from my cadet years. Always excited about something, always engineering something with a carefree attitude.

Even going back to his normal self, his usual habit of picking fights is missing.

It's really strange because you would think that with his inability to control his language, Adam would get in a fight with someone but he never has.

We also meet Shiro in the halls.

Something is different about him. For starters, he actually looks well rested and relaxed.

He's wearing his old senior officer uniform but a new medal has been placed upon his uniform next to the many medals he earned over his lifetime.

That's something I haven't seen in a long time.

It occurs to me that people like Shiro and Adam are falling back into an old and well rehearsed routine and the four of us returned cadets are being thrust to the world of the pros and it's scary already.
