(Klance) Like We Were Then

Day 1 Coachella Special

"Lance! Hurry up we need to go soon!" Keith called from the bottom of the stairs. He heard Lance shuffling around upstairs with his suitcase.

"I'm coming don't rush me..." he mumbled but Keith still heard him.

"Okay..." Keith said. Him and Lance had been dating for almost a year now, from last summer and he knew not to rush Lance. But it didn't make him less impatient.

"Lance! We need to be at Pidge's.. everyone is already there."

"Okay okay. Calm down." Lance said as he came down the stairs with two suitcases.

"It's three days Lance." Keith reasoned.

Lance winked at him. "Exactly." He said.

They headed outside and got into Lance's parents minivan. Kevin and Rosa had agreed they could take it for the festival as long as they didn't wreck it. They had also been generous to lend half of the money for Lance's cost for the trip, and so did Sam and Colleen for Pidge and Matt, Zarkon for Lotor, Alfor for Allura, Krolia and James for Keith and Shiro, Corans uncles, Romelle's mom, Hunks parents paid half of his amount and Karin's mother paid half of hers. The other half each of them had to save up which they had been since last fall.

Sam and Colleen had also agreed to lend their car for the trip so everyone could be comfortable in two cars. It was a better plan than crowding in the McClains Chrysler.

They had all wanted to go to the festival and decided to invite some of their friends since they hadn't seen them that often. Pidge hadn't seen Karin since Christmas and though they talked every day they needed to see each other. Lance hadn't seen since he left New York the year before. After sending out invites to everyone and helping keep track with the money the festival had arrived. They had decided on going to the second weekend because the previous weakened Karin was going to spend with her grandmother. 

Now, Karin and Romelle had both flown to Malibu the night before and stayed at  Pidge's before packing for the coachella. And everyone was at the Holt house ready to go. 

Except Keith and Lance. 

"Ugh we are late now. We were supposed to be on ge road by now.." Keith said glancing at his watch. 

Lance glanced at his boyfriend out of the corner of his eye. "I mean technically.." He pointed at the paved road. "We are on the road." 

Keith shook his head but he was smiling. "It shouldn't take too long to get there. Shouldn't be too many red lights." 

There were. Every stop nearly was a red light but finally they reached Pidge and Matt's house. 

Everyone had said goodbye to their families except Pidge and Matt, before heading their because they wouldn't be seeing them for the next three days. It was bittersweet- they would all miss their families but it was super exciting to go to the festival. 

"About time." Pidge said when Lance and Keith entered the house. She was sitting at the marble island in her kitchen. 

The house was crowded. Karin sat next to Pidge at the island, with Sam and Colleen standing in front of the kitchen counter. Shiro, Matt and Coran stood off to the side in a circle talking with their suitcases laid beside them. Lotor stood by Allura's side who was talking animatedly to Romelle who stood there smiling shyly and occasionally speaking. Hunk and Shay were in the living room on the couch talking in hushed voices. 

"Melles!" Lance exclaimed when he spotted her. 

She turned and smiled before rushing into his embrace. "Lance. I missed you so much!" She said hugging him.
