Season 1, Episode 1; Part 1


"Galaxy Garrison flight-log 6-12-15. Beginning descent to Kerberos for rescue mission." The pilot of the simulator, a lanky Cuban boy spoke to his two teammates, a large Samoan boy known as Hunk and a short, american boy by the name of Pidge. The Cuban male jerked the steering of the simulator aggressively, causing a low groan to escape from Hunk.

"Lance, can't you fly straight?" Hunk moaned, his hand over his mouth. Hunk had a reputably 'unstable' stomach, and boy, was Lance's flying skills causing it to spin.

"Er, n- Relax Hunk! I'm just getting a feel for the stick." Lance let a whoosh of air from his lungs. 'Nice recovery their Lance.' He thought to himself, glancing at the two boys from the corner of his eye. The truth was, the tall male couldn't to ANYTHING straight, let alone be it. With another not-so-accidental jerk of the stick he received another distressed groan from Hunk.

"Listen Lance... Unless you want to be cleaning up beef stew from every nook and cranny of this thing, I highly recommend you KNOCK IT OFF!" The Samoan boy had grown a sickly green tone as he struggled to hold down his lunch. Pidge stifled a laugh in the background, letting out a sigh instead. Suddenly, the monitor in front of him lit up, causing a flurry of rapid keyboard clicks.

"It's a distress beacon!" The small male shouted as he worked, fingers moving faster then a hurricane on steroids. Pidge took training very seriously, there was no messing around to be done.

"Alright team! Lets go get em', Pidge give me coordinates on the beacons location." It was Lance who spoke next, gripping the steering controls tighter as his heart rate increased. He hadn't taken training all that seriously until he realized the danger of being kicked from the Garrison. But today? He was trying his best.

"Already done! Sending them to your monitor now." Pidge tapped a few more keys and the directions flashed onto Lance's screen. The tanned boy turned sharp, heading straight to the beacon.

"Lance!" Hunk shouted, clutching his stomach. "Be gentle with that, or I will make sure to direct my fire right at you!" He leaned against the wall, all color in his was face drained and switched to green. Lance dipped the simulator down, going to spin under an overhang. That's when it all went down hill... The wing was broke off by the impact and the simulator shut down, leaving the trio in the dark.

"Great work Lance!" Pidge grumbled, looking towards the door as their instructor, Iverson opened it.

"Come on you donkeys, you failed me yet again." Iverson sighed, leading them back out to the others. They all looked to their feet like a bunch of prison convicts. "Alright class, what did you learn from these failures?"

"The engineer was sick the whole time!" One student chimed.

"The pilot freaking CRASHED!" Another threw his arms in the air.

"You are all very correct." Iverson spoke, smiling. "But most of all, they argued the whole practice! You have to work as a team, unless you want to end up like the Kerberos crew." After he finished speaking, Pidge opened his mouth to object. With a sudden movement, Lance covered his mouth, taking over the speaking part.

"Yes sir, we understand. I promise we will do better next time!" The Cubans boys voice held a fake tone of promise.

"If you keep this up Lance, there will not be anymore 'next times', need I remind you the only reason your here is because the best pilot in your class dropped training?" Iverson heaved, turning his back to the three as he boarded the next group of students into the simulator. Lance went wide eyed at the mention of the other boy. 'Keith.' He thought to himself. Lance would never admit it, but Keith was the reason he was bisexual. Something about his fiery persona, dramatic moods, mullet head and that freaking bod just clicked a switch in his head. Lance had trouble accepting it, so him and Keith became rivals so he could mask his feelings.
