When the lion popped out from the other side of the vortex, Ember felt like she was going to throw up. Her stomach churned in an uncomfortable way and she had to close her eyes or it would make it worse. After a few moments, she opened her eyes as Lance started talking.
    "Whoa. That was. . ."

    "Can we not do that again?" Ember groaned, letting go of Shiro's hand to put her fingers against her forehead. "That made me so dizzy."

Before anyone replied, Hunk flew to his left and threw up. Ember let out a gag, turning away from the sight. She felt Keith cringe away as well. 
    "So sorry." Hunk apologized before puking again. 

    "I'm just surprised it took this long." Pidge admitted, pushing up her glasses. 

    "I don't recognize any of these constellations. We must be a long, long way from Earth." Shiro changed the subject, making everyone look around the space they were in. 

    "I don't know how you guys manage to remember each and every constellation. I can barely remember where the North Star is!" Ember shook her head in disbelief.

    "It's not that hard." Keith shrugged, moving his arm from around Ember to beside her. But she didn't notice as she scoffed. 

    "Says the best pilot here." 

Lance must have not heard her because he didn't reply with anything. "The lion seems to want to go to this planet. I think. . .I think it's going home." 

Ember studied the planet - her eyes narrowing at the thought that it looked almost like Earth. 
As the lion continued its way onto the planet, the group in the pit leaned in closer to the seat Lance was sitting in. 
    "Guys, personal space." Lance groaned. "Hunk, your breath is killing me."

    "Um, is it just me or is anyone else having second thoughts about flying through a mysterious wormhole?" Hunk blabbered. "Why are we listening to a robotic lion anyways?"

    "It got us away from that alien warship, didn't it?" Lance retorted. 

    "I don't know if you noticed, but we're in an alien warship." Keith pointed out.  

    "Oh, are you scared?" Lance teased. 

   "With you at the helm? Terrified." 

    "Boys," Ember sighed. 

    "All right, knock it off." Shiro ordered. "No one's happy to be in this situation, but we're here now. If we want to get through this, we've got to do it together." 

    "So, what do we do?" Pidge asked the obvious question they all were thinking. 

    "Find out where we are, that'd be a great start." Em looked around the new place they were at. 

    "Yes, we find out where we're heading." Shiro agreed. "Lance?"

    "I don't know." Lance confessed, staring at the handles in thought. "I'm sorry. The lion's not talking to me anymore."

    "Great," Ember muttered to herself before Lance straighten himself up. 

    "Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait! Shh!" Lance ordered - making everyone shut up. "Listen. I think I hear something." 

A sudden high pitch squeal made Ember furrow her eyebrows in confusion. 
    "I'm hearing it, too." Keith said. 

    "It's, uh - it's kind of a - a high-pitched squeal?" Hunk tried to describe. The squeal suddenly turned into what they all feared; a fart. Everyone started groaning and covering their noses.
