“Has anybody seen Keith? I want to double check the new songs I added,” Shay called out.

“I think he went to practice dancing with Lotor and Allura,” Pidge pointed out.

“Wow, he’s that bad?” Hunk raised an eyebrow.

“Something doesn’t feel right,” Shiro commented suspiciously. “He should be going to pick up Lance by now.”

“And his motorcycle is still in the parking lot,” Acxa pointed out, looking through the window.

Shiro grabbed his phone and saw a voicemail from an unknown number. He saw that he received it at 2:20 PM. He listened to the message. “Shiro, it’s Lotor. Allura, Keith, and I are stuck in room 56. As soon as you get this message, please get us outta here. Keith is really freaking out and my phone’s about to die, so please hurry.”

“Oh no,” Shiro realized his mistake of not checking his messages. “Someone needs to pick up Lance while I find Keith and the others.”

“I’ll go” Hunk volunteered.

“I might need you to open the doors,” Shiro told him.

“I’ll get him,” Acxa offered. “I know where he lives.”

“Alright, Acxa, go get Lance, Hunk you're with me, everybody else, get everything started, okay?”

Everyone accepted their roles and they put their plan into action.

“Time update?” Keith called.

“My phone died a while ago, Keith,” Lotor told him.

“Why hasn't anyone come yet?” Keith groaned and banged on the door again, yelling, “Let us out!!”

“Give it up, Keith,” Allura sighed, “I'm sure Shiro's on his way now.”

“What makes this time different than any other time you said that?” Keith crossed his arms, sliding to the ground.

“They must be wondering where we are, right? I mean, we've been in here for a while,” Allura replied. “And I mean a while.”

Keith looked at the ground and sighed. “Every time I plan something special, something goes wrong.”

“That's not true,” Lotor scoffed.

“Our trip to the movies, a homophobe made him cry. Our first ever kiss, gets shown to the entire world. Our trip to Texas to find my mother, Shiro loses an arm and Lance and I have our first big argument. Plan a big Homecoming Dance? Get trapped in a room for God knows how long and no one out there seems to give a s**t about us.”

The room was silent, shocked faces on Allura and Lotor's faces. Keith ignored them and wiped his eyes. They all screamed when they heard a bang on the door.

“Keith? Allura? You guys in here?” Shiro's voice called out.

“I'm in here too, y'know?” Lotor called back.

“We're gonna get you outta there!” Shiro yelled, “stay clear of the door!”

Keith stood and walked away from the door.

“We're good!” Keith called.

They all watched the door as it was forced open by one very strong Hunk.

“You guys okay in here?” Hunk asked concerned.

“What took you guys so long?” Keith replied.

“Look, there's no time, you gotta get dressed right now,” Shiro handed him the tuxedo. “Acxa went to go pick up Lance. It's almost 6 o'clock.”

“What-”

“Later, now go!”

Without another word, Keith growled and ran to a bathroom to change.

“You two should get dressed too,” Shiro added before going back toward the party room.

Lance sat on the steps of his front porch waiting patiently. Keith never took this long to reply to his texts, let alone pick him up for a date. Granted, it was five minutes, but Keith was never one to waste someone's time.

“Want some company?” Veronica asked and sat next to him.

“Something's wrong,” Lance sighed, “I can sense it…”

“You're just concerned because he isn't here yet,” she nudged him. “You think Keith would ever stand you up?”

“He isn't answering any of my texts and he's never been this late.”

“I'm sure he's on his way, bro, chill out,” Veronica ruffled his hair.

“No, stop, I worked hard on making this perfection,” Lance swatted her hands away and hurried to fix it.

She chuckled as a car slowed to a stop in front of their house.

“I think that's your ride,” Veronica told him.

“Keith rides a motorcycle,” Lance replied. “I don't trust him driving a car.”

The driver got out of the car.

“Hey, Lance, Veronica,” Acxa waved.

“Hey, what are you doing here?” Lance questioned.

“That's a beautiful dress,” Veronica complimented.

“Thanks, I'm your escort. Let's roll,” Acxa waved him over.

“Where's Keith?” Lance worried.

“He'll be there, he had to take care of something.”

“Vague, but okay,” he shrugged and stood up. “Bye, sis.”

“See you later, bro, have fun and stay safe,” Veronica told him.

Lance nodded then seemed to remember something. “Take care of Ashley. She hasn't been feeling well for the past couple hours.”

“Will do.”

Lance smiled and got in the car with Acxa.
