Finally, the evening came.  The moment most of the students at the Garrison High School had been waiting for.

The Fall Fair.

The area where the fair was being held was bustling with people.  Those who were in charge of a booth came an hour early to make sure everything was ready.  Everyone else showed up at random times.  Keith was currently waiting for Allura to finish working at her booth for half the time so they could walk together for the rest of the time.  Lance, Pidge, and Hunk were at their booth with Matt, who was blindfolded.  Some random female student was the other blindfolded subject.  Lance gave his famous cat-like grin as he watched Pidge and Hunk collect the money from the crowd that had formed.  Even though he knew they couldn't keep the money and it went straight to the school, it still gave him a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment at how much money they were making.  Who knew the kissing booth idea would work this well? 

Matt stood at the tall bistro table with the blindfold covering his eyes.  Screaming girls could be heard in the crowd at they shoved their way to the front, apparently wanting to kiss Pidge's brother.  Pidge rolled her eyes as the girls formed a line.  There was even two or three guys that had got in the line for Matt, a cheeky smile on their faces.  For the blindfolded girl, the line wasn't as long, but there was still about a dozen who were in her line.  After 45 minutes went by, the crowd had diminished.  Most students went home, but there was still some that stuck around, talking with friends or checking out other booths.  By this time Allura, Romelle, and Lotor's booth had run out of craft supplies.  Their booth had been just as popular as the other three's, and they didn't have enough supplies to last the whole two hours of the fair.  Because of this, Romelle told Allura she could walk with Keith.  Lotor gave her a goodbye hug, not comfortable going for a kiss yet, but Allura didn't mind.  She was happy with a hug.  She said bye to Romelle and headed for the bench Keith said he'd be at.  Unsurprisingly, it was the same bench he always went to.  When she made it to the location, Keith was focused on his drawing.  At this point in time he was lightly sketching more details to the drawing and started making dark lines in current areas.  On his lap was his phone.  The screen lit up Keith's face and the area around him, and a picture of the scenery behind him was shown.  Allura tiptoed over to him, making sure he wouldn't notice her.  She walked behind him and looked over his shoulder.  Keith still did not realize anyone was near him.  Giving a small smirk, Allura placed her hands on Keith's shoulders and said "boo."

"Aghk!" Keith cried out with a jump.  His pencil flung out of his hand and his phone fell to the ground.  Keith felt his heart pounding in his chest as he spun around to see who was behind him.  When he saw Allura, he gave a sigh.  "Allura, I've told you not to sneak up on me." He said, turning back around.  He bent over to pick up his phone, then got up to retrieve his pencil from the grassy ground. 

"I'm sorry, Keith." Allura apologised in between light laughs.  "It's just, you were so focused and unaware of your surroundings.  It was the perfect moment to scare you."

"Haha." Keith said in a monotone voice, sitting back down on the bench.  He gathered up his sketchbook and pencils and shoved them back into his drawstring bag that he grabbed from his room.  "You ready?" He asked.

"Yup.  My booth was running out of supplies so I stayed until they completely ran out.  I'm sorry that I was late."

"Oh it's no problem." Keith assured as they walked back over to the nearby fairgrounds.  "It gave me more time to work on my art project." They entered the fair and started examining the booths.

"Which one do you want to go first?" Allura asked as she looked at the face painting booth.  Keith saw her eyeing this booth.  He quickly made his way over to her, and grabbed her arm.
