(The next morning)

     "I'm boooored." Lance had been complaining for 30 minutes now. Obviously getting restless as he hug upside down on the couch. "We could go to the beach?" Pidge looked up from her phone and raised her eyebrow at Lance. Lance shrugged and let out a long helpless sigh.
     "Oh! What about the science museum!" Pidge pulled up a picture on her phone and showed everyone. "Nope!" Everyone but Matt yelled. Pidge slumped back into her seat, now crossing her arms in annoyance; she looked like an angry toddler.
Allura's face lit up and she jumped out of her seat, " The new skating rink! Romelle and Lotor keep mentioning how they need people!" "Skating sounds great! ...I don't really know how to, but it sounds great!" Lance agreed with Allura. Keith smiled a bit and nodded, " I'm in!" "Alright let's get going!" Pidge got up from her seat and went to her room to change.

———

Once they arrived at the skating rink, they were allowed to get in free for being the first people to come there. "Allura, I adore your pony tail! You must give me hair advice!" Romelle complemented her before Allura went to skate with the others. "Why, thank you!" Allura smiled and went out on the rink.
"Oh my god! This is my jam!" Pidge got on the rink and began dancing as she simply rolled away. "1! 2! 3! YA!" Keith recognized the song immediately. "Hey Ya" by OutKast. Keith joined the others on the rink and just glided and tapped his fingers on his legs to the beat. Lance awkwardly held the railings trying to get around.
     "Come on Lance, why don't you get off of the railing?" Keith teased as he simply spun around. Lance growled and pushed off of the railing and glided, almost falling back. "Come on, catch up!" Keith started gliding faster. Lance kept trying to move, but it's like he wouldn't budge.
     "Here Lance!" Shiro had Lance hold his shoulders and shot Keith an evil grin. Keith's eyes widened, "Shit.." Keith tried to skate faster, but he could only go so fast. Shiro and Lance was catching up. "Dang Shiro, you're so freaking buff! What's your workout routine?!" Lance joked.
    "Every other day! It's pretty cool! Look Lance, we are catching up!" It took Shiro one slide, until Pidge and Hunk appeared in front of him, throwing him off guard. "Sorry Lance! We gotta let Keith win this one!" Hunk apologized. "I'll get him myself!" Lance pushed away from Shiro and started slowly sliding his way to Keith.
     Then Lance stopped and saw Allura talking to a guy with long white hair put in a low pony, and they were giggling. "Not on my watch!" Lance continued sliding, but this time he had new competition. "Woah Lance, where are you going?!" Pidge slid in front of him.
     "I'm getting this dude away from Allura!" Lance huffed. "Dude, no!" Pidge pushes him back. "Why not?!" Lance tried pushing her away. "Lance!" Pidge growled as Lance left the rink.
    "Woah, what's going on?" Shiro asks as he slows down and catches up with Pidge. "Lance didn't notice that Allura stopped skating and started talking to Lotor... he's a little jealous..I tried warning him buuuut." Pidge sighed and pointed at the situation. "Yikes!" Shiro crosses his arms.
    "What's going on?" Keith stops and stands by Shiro and Pidge. Pidge points at the situation again. "...Oh.." Keith's eyes widened.
     "Oh hey! My name's Lance!" Lance draped his arm around Allura.
     "Um hi?" The man crossed his arms and raises and eyebrow at Lance.
     "Just thought I should introduce myself considering that me and Allura used to be good friends and we are like reallllyyy close." Lance smirks. Allura sighs and face palms.
    The man laughs, " That's nice, I'm Lotor, her boyfriend."
    Lance laughs and then abruptly stops and realizes what Lotor said. "O...oh." Lance's face turned dark red and he removed his arm from Allura. "Lance, I told you not to do it. Do you see why?" Pidge chuckles as she punches Lance's arm.
     "Excuse me while I go um...hide in a corner." Lance slowly walked out of the room and into a dining area. "That was embarrassing, I'm sorry for my friend.."Allura nervously laughs and scratches her head. "It's all good, other guys can flirt with you, but what we have is more than simply flirting." Lotor kisses her head. "I need to go check on Romelle, keep having fun!" Lotor exits the rink area and leaves.
      "Should uh, we check on Lance?" Hunk asks. "Keith, go talk with your boyfriend!" Pidge wiggles her eyebrows and smirks. "Can you guys stop?! I honestly hate the guy. He nearly drowned me yesterday!" Keith pouted and crossed his arms. Pidge sighs.
    The others go back on the rink and Keith goes back to check on Lance. "Get up, I'm teaching you to skate. Maybe you'll one up Lotor if you're lucky enough." Keith offers his hand and lance takes it immediately. "Let's go kick his butt!" Lance and Keith go out to the rink.
     "Alright first things first, get off of the rails!" Keith teaches. Keith was teaching Lance to skate for a majority of the time, laughing every time Lance fell on his butt. Then after about 2 hours, they all left to Waffle House for lunch.
     "So Lance you feel confident on your skating skills?" Shiro asks as he bites into a waffle. "Heck yeah! I can actually move! Who knew it would be that easy to learn to skate!" Lance smiled as he sips his smoothie. "Speak for yourself, it took Hunk a month to even get halfway through the rink, now the big guy is a pro!" Pidge nudged his shoulder in a friendly way.
     "My old pops taught me how to skate when I was just a young lad! I taught Allura! She can do all the cool tricks!" Coran twists his mustache that was dripping with orange juice. Allura blushes, " Not all the tricks...just a lot!" Shiro looked over for a second and then gasped silently and hid his face behind a menu.
    "What was that about?" Matt asks as he laughs a little. "N..nothing." Shiro mumbles. Keith looks over and his smile enlarges. "It's about Adaaaaammm..." Keith coos. "Keith!" Shiro put the menu down and whined.
     "Takashi? Is that you?" The man came behind Shiro's seat and grinned. Shiro looked over at him and politely smiled. "Hey Adam! It's been a while!" Shiro stuck out his hand and Adam took it. "I'm digging the hair, certainly a way to make being in your 30s cool!" Adam pushed up his glasses and shoved his hands in his pockets.
     "Oh uh thanks, your hair looks nice too, I mean everything looks nice on you, or uh..shoot." Shiro buried his blushing face in his hands. Adam smirks, "Don't trip over your words now Takashi, but thanks for the compliments. It's nice to know I have an admirer." That comment made Shiro's blushing worse. "Mind if I sit with you guys?" Adam asks. "Nope, not at all!" Coran gives him a thumbs up. Adam takes a seat.
     "So who's this Adam guy?" Lance whispers to Keith. "Shiro's crush...since like high school." Keith smirks. "Oh dang!" Lance chuckles. "So Takashi, introduce me to your friends!" Adam says. Shiro sighs and glances at Keith and Lance who are dying of laughter.
