Pidge POV

I zipped up my last bag with a sigh. this was it, the last day of school. I wouldn't see my friends again until August. But, I was one day closer to seeing Matt and my dad again. "Pidge, you good?" I shook my head and smiled "Yeah V, I'm good. Just zoned out." "Thinking about your family again?" I sighed, hoisting my bag. "Yeah. This summer is going to be really weird without them. There's no one for me to annoy, and no one to build a robot with." "But there's still your mom." Veronica said, grabbing her bags. We started walking out of our room and towards the entrance. "Yeah, but she's not in to building the robots. She does the programming for them. Me and my dad make them, her and Matt make them work. We have a system." She laughed "Yeah. A weird one, but a working one. So, any plans for this summer?" I shook my head "Nah. I might bug the gays or Hunk, but that's about it. You?" "Nope. Just trying not to kill Lance. You saw him last night. He's gonna be grumpy all summer because he didn't make the cut." I shrugged "Not your problem. If he's gonna waste his summer pouting like a baby, let him. You can always whip him into shape." She chuckled "Oh no. If he's moping around the house all summer, Mami or Abuela will put him to work. Helping cook, cleaning, laundry, you name it. Sometimes, they even have him model our sister Rachel's clothes, since they're about the same size. Both are tallish and lanky. They'll whip him into shape. And I'll sit and watch." I smiled "Ooh, if they make him model, send me pictures." She smiled "Of course. Speaking of which, I want a group one." "Ha, good luck with that. Lance won't go anywhere near Keith and James, and those two are attatched at the hip." She shrugged "Can't blame me for trying. Now come on, lets say goodbye before they leave."

We spent the next half hour or so saying our goodbyes, which involved hugs, smiles and laughter.  Kinkade and Ina left first, followed by Rizavi and Hunk. Then the McClains, which left me with the gays. "James, aren't you leaving?" I asked. He shook his head with a smile "Nope. I'm staying with Keith nd Adam for a few days, then a few weeks with my mom, then my dad, and ultimately, back to Keith." I smiled "So I'm guessing you guys have plans?" I said, wiggiling my eyebrows on the last part. Both went pink "No we're not doing anything like...that. We'll probably just chill." Keith said "Regular chill or Netflix and chill?" Keith's eyes went wide. "Pidge! What the hell? I already told you, we're not doing anything like that!" James smirked "Even though Shiro said we could." Keith's face went bright pink and I laughed. "Wait, Shiro said that? For real?" "Yeah, before he left he said "I give you permission to plow Keith's ass." It was hilarious." I started laughing "Oh god, I can't believe he said that! Okay, sorry Keith, but Shiro is officially my new favorite Kogane." Keith sighed "I guess I can live with that." I smiled sweetly "Don't worry, you're still my favorite bottom." His eyes went wide and James started laughing. "Holy shit!" He wheezed  "Good one Pidge." "What makes you think I'd be the bottom?" Keith asked, and I laughed "Keith, please. It's obvious. Also, you're shorter." "What does that have to do with anything?" he whined. "Keith babe, you don't want to know." "Seriously? Why would I be the bottom? Give me one good reason. One!"

My mom chose that exact moment to show up, and I was rescued from that awkward conversation. "Hey honey. How was your last day?" She asked once we got in the car. "It was pretty good. The gays were being weird, Lance was being an asshole.." "Language." I rolled my eyes "Sorry. Lance was being a butt cause he didn't make fighter class, and everyone else was in a pretty good mood." "That's nice. Oh, we got another video from Matt and your dad." Yes! Finally! "What'd they say?" "The usual. We miss you, love you, don't let Pidge build a killer robot, wish you were here, the usual. And apparently they've been tormenting Shiro. They didn't go into specifics,bit it couldn't have been good.c Ilaigjed. "Yeah. Classic dad." "Yeah,your dad's always been a bit of a trickster. I wonder how Matt is doing. I know he had a crush on Shiro for the longest time." Back in the days when Shiro and Matt were students at the Garrison, they were roommates. And Matt had a big crush on him. But then Shiro fell in love with Adam,and that was the end of that. But sometimes, you could  still see him staring at Shiro. "Oh yeah. He must be dying. Especially since all of Shiro's messages are to Adam and Keith." She nodded "Yeah. But they'll be home soon. Then Shiro and Adam will get married, then Keith and James, and Matt will find someone. Eventually." Yes that right, even my mom knew that Keith and James were dating. Everyone knew, except Lance. But he was painfully obvious to almost everything. "Yeah, that might take a while. Matt isn't exactly..." "Right." There were no words to explain Matt's love life, or lack thereof. It just didn't happen. "They should reach the moon in a few months, then, after they get the samples, they'll come back home. It's only a matter of time."
