masquerade

quiznack! why do I have to go to this stupid dance thing?

pidge was struggling to put on the blue down Allura gave too her. she said it was some kind of game the population played. apparently, you had to find someone and the first person to drop their mask to you was to be your soulmate. pidge wasn't interested in a relationship with anyone except for one person. 

once the dress was zipped up pidge put the mask on and tied it around her face. she walked to her lion and got in it. 

lance was drinking some sort of lemonade from the planet. he looked around at all the people in the crowd. he kept looking out the open windows for a certain paladin to arrive and when he saw the green lion land, he watched the door waiting for her to walk in. lance didn't even notice pidge had already come in since he expected to see a green dress. all the paladins were dressed in other colors from their lions. lance wore a green tie. as the king rose from his seat everyone went silent. 

"my people, we welcome you all to the ball. let the dance... begin." he declared. 

lance was quickly surrounded by girls and before he had any say in the matter he was grabbed and dragged onto the dance floor. this was going to be a very long night. 

pidge bearly made it down the stairs when a hand grabbed hers and pulled into cold hard arms. a rock alien started to dance with her and she groaned in her head. why me, was all she could think. the first dance ended and pidge had somehow traveled from one side of the dance floor to the other. she bumped into several people. it was way to crowded. she managed to squirm her way out of the crowd only to get dragged back in by another man. once the dance was over she was very quick to get away from the crowd luckily without getting dragged back in.

she walked out the large open window onto the balcony. she saw another man out there and walked up next to him. 

"crazy night huh?" she said trying to break the awkwardness of the situation. he gave an awkward laughed and shrug.

"yeah."

"you know you're the first person I've heard speak my language this entire night." pidge giggled, "but what are you doing out here?"

"oh... I was waiting for someone to show up but I can't find her," he sighed.

"oh... I'm sorry about that... I was hoping to find someone too." Pidge said looking back at the dance. several people were already dancing without masks and several more dropping their masks. 

"what's his name?" the man asked.

"ah u-um... l-lance." pidge was caught off guard.

the man seemed to shift when she said that name. 

"what about you? who's the one for you?" pidge asked.

"pidge?"

"Oh, that's her name?"

"no I mean... pidge?" the man said now looking pidge in the face.

"yeah? that's me... do I know you?" she asked.

the man reached behind his head and pulled the strings to his mask off. pidge stared at lance.

"l-lance?!" she said.

"I'm glad to know someone was wanting me to be here." he giggled.

pidge leaped into him wrapping her arms around him. she buried her face into his neck. 

"thank god, I found you." she sighed. lance backed up and pressed a kiss to pidge's lips. they were soft and warm. 

lance pulled the strings to her mask and pulled it away from her face. she laughed as he reavealed her freckless and kissed her again. 

"hey lance?"

"yeah?"

"wanna go back to the castle? i'm sooo done with this party."

"me too," he answerd. they could deal with allura's lectuer for leaving early later. but right now... pidge was tierd and ready form cuddles with her soulmate.
