AN: If you expect genuine theater stuff you've come to the wrong place sry. If anyone can tell me if the rating is to high or to low please tell me because i couldn't tell for shit

The sheer vastness of the castle never ceased to amaze Lance. Even though they had been there for months now he still hadn't seen half of it. That's why from time to time he went on a little tour exploring new parts of the building.

On that day he ended up in front of a large set of double doors. He entered the room behind them to find a giant hall with dozens of rows of seat all facing a … stage?!

"We have a theater and no one told me?"

"Oh yes my boy. The old theater, it was used to amuse the royal inhabitants of this castle like Alfor and Zarkon." Said Coran. Lance had run up to him on the bridge all exited asking about the theater.

"That's so awesome! We should totally use it." said a very giddy Lance.

"Oh dear. His inner theater nerd just came out." Was Hunk's reaction.

"Come on! It'll be fun! And it's a great team bonding exercise."

"Didn't we have enough of those?" asked Pidge "I mean at Naxzela Keith was literally ready to die for us."

"Yeah, by the way shouldn't we talk to him about that?" inquired Hunk just to get interrupted by a fired up Allura.

"IT'S A GREAT IDEA!" She announced, her eyes beaming with excitement. "We'll put on a play and my dream of playing the lead role will finally come true!"

Everyone else looked at Coran a bit confused. "It's a childhood dream of her." He said simply. "At least that's the easiest explanation I can give." He muttered unheard.

Lance concluded: "Well then it's settled! We're going to put on a play."

"You asked me here to do a play?" Keith questioned incredulously "You do know that I have stuff to do with blade, right?"

He had been told to come the castle quickly for something important. He canceled a mission with Kolivan came as fast as he possibly could and then had been led to what apparently was a theater just to be told his friends just wanted to fool around.

"Oh, c'mon Keef. Quit being grumpy, it'll be fun!" said Lance.

Pidge snickered and whispered to Hunk "I'm pretty sure Lance would use any excuse to get Keith back here."

"So, we're going to put on a play with absolutely no one watching because?" Keith asked while facepalming.

Lance answered in a teasing tone. "Just for fun. You do know what that is right?"

"I thought this was bonding exercise." shot Pidge.

"Shh! Bonding is one of Keith's trigger words."

"Oh my god!" shouted Keith "This is idiotic!"

"Then why don't you just leave?" inquired Pidge.

Keith stayed silent and stared at his feet.

"Ohhh …. "cooed Lance "Could it be that Grumpy McMullet missed his friends and wants to hang out with them."

Keith turned slightly red at being called out like that.

"Interesting that you decided to put a Mc in his name, McClain." stated Pidge.

Now it Lance was turning red. "Uhm … Let us just start already."

Hunk looked a bit lost. "With what exactly? Like, do we have a script? What play do we do?"

"That … I haven't thought about!" was Lance's answer. "Where do we get a script in the middle of space?"

"Well I have all of Wikipedia downloaded to my laptop, if that helps." Sai Pidge as if it was the most normal thing there was.

Keith wasn't sure if he actually wanted to know why but asked anyway. "Ok, I just gotta know. WHY? And how does it fit on your laptop?"

"You wouldn't believe how often this has come in handy. And regarding the how … I might have stolen some stuff from my dad to modify it."

That was good enough of an explanation for Lance. "Great! So, could you look up Romeo and Juliette?"

Pidge rolled her eyes at that. "Just had to be expected." But searched her laptop for the classic, almost cliché, drama anyway.

"Wait so we're not going to question Pidge stealing from her Father and getting into situation where 'having all of Wikipedia has come in handy'?" questioned Keith, he took the lack of answers as a yes.

"There it is, Romeo and Juliette … oh there's only a summary on here and not the entire script."

"We'll just go by that and improvise." Said Lance.

"What's the lead role?" asked Allura "Because no offence but it's mine!"

"There's two lead roles." Explained Lance. "Romeo and Juliette, like the title says. It's a drama about their love, so the two us are perfectly suited for the roles, you'll be Juliette and I'll be your dashing Romeo." Finishing with a flirty wink in Allura's direction.

Keith commented: "I think I'm gonna puke."

"Jealous of Allura?" joked Pidge.

"What's the rest of us going to do?" asked Hunk.

Pidge pulled up her laptop again typing some incomprehensible code. "Give me a sec … Aaaan finished! I wrote an c# algorithm that's going to assign us all roles using the Park-Miller random number generator."

Hunk simply said "Good idea." While Keith and Lance tried their best not to let it slip that they had no idea what she said. Pidge hit a key and her laptop created a List.

"So, let's see ... sorry Allura but the PC decided Keith is gonna be Juliette. Fitting he already got a knife and an emo attitude."

"WHAT?" shot Allura and Keith perfectly in sync. Interestingly both looked equally pissed.

"I'm not going to play some whiny damsel in distress!"

"Why can't I be the lead role?"

Pidge answered with a smirk. "That's what the algorithm decided."

"Come on guys we're just fooling around anyway." Said Hunk trying to cool things down. He was joined by Shiro: "I think Pidge's algorithm is the fairest method anyway, since we're doing this for fun and didn't have a rehearsal."

Allura crossed her arms and sulked: "Ok fine."

"Guys, I'm really not in the mood to "started a still very irritated Keith just to get interrupted by Pidge.

"ANYWAY! Let's see who got the other roles. Hunk you're Benvolio, Shiro you're count Paris …"

"I'm an entire city?"

"… I'm friar Laurence … since we are not enough people the algorithm just filled in most roles with the training bots … oh and Lance still got his wish and is going to be Romeo."

"YES! Razzel-dazzel time WAIT WHAT?"

AN: I'm officially sorry for this ... well not really. If you really want to continue reading, the second chapter is gonna take me a while (I don't know anything bout shakespeare)
