Tangled Plance (AU)

Part 2

"Who are you?" Lance said finally recovering from the shock.

"I'm- Uh- Pidge Gunderson." She said. "Who are you?"

"Uh, I'm Lance. And you kinda just broke into my tower. How did you find me?" He asked forcefully.

"I just... stumbled across it and it looked cool and abandoned so I climbed in." Pidge said sheepishly. "What's up with your hair?" She said curiously, going up to touch it.

"Hey don't touch it!" Lance said annoyedly. She didn't exactly listen.

She started excitedly poking and prodding the long strands. Something felt... different about this hair. Other than the fact that is was about... 70 feet long (By pidge's estimate) on a male. "I mean it is very biologically improbable that this was a natural thing to occur. It must have been a genetic mutation in the-"

She didn't get to finished because Lance, unsure what to do with the potentially dangerous stranger stroking his hair and partly unnerved by his use of vocabulary he didn't understand, knocked the intruder out with a strong hit with a frying pan.

Lance felt something odd in his heart ached when he saw the intruder fall limp on the ground and he kind of panicked. "Why did I do that?" He said face palming. He quickly decided that it was best that he at least figured out the strangers motives, so he strapped him to a chair, using his long hair as a rope. While doing so, he noticed a chip in his pocket and judging by the fact he was clutching it with his hand it seemed important. That gave him an idea.

Pidge woke up, her blurry vision slowly focusing. She noticed she was surrounded by hair. Sure it was extremely soft and smelled great but that didn't keep her from struggling.

Eventually, the long-haired one slowly crept in from the shadows, his weapon at the ready. "How did you find me and what do you want with my hair." He interrogated. Pidge rolled her eyes, slightly confused.

"Ugh your hair may be scientifically interesting but right now I only want to get out of it so I can find my f-" Pidge started, before noticing that her precious chip was gone.

"Where is my chip!" She shouted angrily, struggling even more.

"Somewhere you'll never find it." Lance said confidently with one hand on his hip. Pidge quickly looked around and her keen eyes noticed a pot-looking device that she knew needed a code to be opened.

"It's in that pot isn't it?" The intruder said with a smile. "I can hack through that in ticks." Then Pidges vision went black and she woke back up what felt like a few doboshes later and the long haired man was standing in front of her again.

"Now, it's someplace you will never find it." Lance said, flicking a hand through part of his hair.

Pidge looked around the room again and sighed in defeat.

"Okay, Pidge Gunderson, I'm prepared to offer you a deal." Lance announced and Pidge tilted her head slightly in confusion. "Deal?"

Lance drew Pidge's attention to a childish drawing of 5 colorful robotic lions. "Do you know what these are?" He asked.

Pidge almost laughed at the drawings but decided doing so was not in her favor. "You mean the Lions? The defenders of the universe who are looking for the lost prince and the new paladins?"

"Yes." Lance said with excitement, finally understanding what they were. "So my proposition is; you be my guide and take me to see these lions and return me home safely and then, and only then will I return your chip to you."

Pidge groaned in annoyance. "Um, I can't do that. The kingdom and I are not exactly in good terms at the moment so I can't take you anywhere." She said, but while she was speaking she was still looking around the room for some means of escape or any clue to where her chip could be hidden. "Are you sure, I can't do something else for you? I mean I could make you a fantastic sculpture of yourself made of random junk." She pleaded.

Lance shook his head, "I already explained my conditions."

The intruder just sighed. "Well, I can't help you. So I'll just go find my chip and b-"

Lance sighed. Come on this was his only possible way to get out and see the lions! He knew that this stubborn intruder would need some extra convincing. He got up close in the little boy's face and glared at him. "Well even with that smart little brain of yours, you could tear this tower apart brick by brick and without my help, you'll still never find your precious chip." Lance threatened, leaning in close. "So do we have a deal?" He said with a smile. Pidge sighed. It was probably her only option and Lance was far to persuasive with that charismatic and handsome grin.

"Fine." She groaned. "I'll take you to see the Lions."

Lance cheered. "Yes!" Before de-tangling his long hair from the chair. He immediately started to dart to the window when the little one behind him started to speak.

"Wait. I have something to say first." Pidge began and this caught Lance's attention and he spun around. "I need to come clean and I think this might change the way that you think of me- I'm a girl." She announced and she didn't notice the look of bewilderment on Lance's face.

"Wait your a girl?!" He shouted confused, but I guess that did explain-

"Well come on, let's go!" She said with a toothy grin before crawling out the window again. And Lance just stood dumbstruck watching. After a few ticks he came back to reality and looked out the window to notice the girl already on the ground waving up to him. He grinned down at her then attached his hair to the pulley mounted to the window and let himself fall to the ground, holding onto his hair.

His feet touched down on the grass and he smiled. He had finally left the tower! He looked over to Pidge and she was smiling as well.

"That was amazing!" She said enthusiastically. "Using your hair as a rope in such an amazingly engineered pulley system. It's beautiful." She fangirled, her eyes twinkling.

"It's not a sunset Pidge." Lance said as he tugged at his hair until it finally detangled itself from the pulley. Pidge rolled her eyes, followed by jabbing the long-haired male in the side.

"Do you want me to guide you to the Castle of Lions or not?" Pidge said, her arms folded.

"Yes?" Lance said almost hesitantly. This girl was intense that was for sure.

"Then let's go." She said with a huff as she began walking back toward the secret rocky entrance. Normally, Pidge liked working alone but if she had to help this strange person out in order to get her chip and family back, she would. Besides, something about Lance drew her in, but she wasn't sure what.

"It's probably just the hair." She mumbled quietly to herself. Lance was too busy picking flowers and making faces at himself in the small spring they passed to hear her.
