"FINALLY! new chapter And I pray (probably in vain) that it has no grammatical mistakes ( I really suck at self-editing) but as always please be specific in pointing them out and I will do everything possible to fix the problem forthwith. Also, have I been using POV wrong? If so, my bad. OH... And I am so sorry for not updating sooner as I was stuck in a rather difficult writer's block for this chapter, and my Microsoft account got hacked, and of course there is the whole "Where am I going with my life" thing constantly rearing its ugly head. SIGH, it has been rough but I've kept you all waiting long enough with my prattle, now on to the story."

Lance's POV:

They had been trecking through the forest for at least half an hour now but lance couldn't help but still be in awe of everything in it. From the vibrant and uniquely alien flowers to the magnificent gigantic (was anything on this planet small?) trees that were a shade somewhere between oak and steel. he wondered if pidge was admiring the beauty of this place as much as him.

He turned to the smaller paladin walking silently in front of him "She hasn't said anything this whole time. Is she mad at me or something? What did I do?" Lance mused before deciding to lean close "Hey,Pidge" this caused her to jump in surprise and stumble over herself and fall to the ground "umm... are you ok?" he questioned smirking at both her reaction and the memory of her doing basically the same on the roof of the garrison.

CROW she was so CUTE when she was like that.

"ya, i'm fine. I just love laying in the dirt Lance it's my favorite thing to do." she deadpanned as she got up and dusted herself off all the while sneering at him "what is it you want?"

Lance couldn't help but smirk at how cute her sneer was. "Was she always this cute? how is it I'm only just now noticing."

"well?" Pidge questioned crossing her arms and raising her eyebrow in suspension.

quiznack even that was cute "Well I-I was just wondering what you were thinking about is all." Lance said with a steamer "why am I steamering? I'm just talking to Pidge."

Pidge turned away slightly "umm... I'm just wondering how things are going for the others that's all"

"Is it just me or is she blushing? Nah I'm probably just seeing things." lance mused once more "hey, I thought I told you already not to worry. Between hunk being so big only something insane would attack him without a second thought, Keith's bad attitude which could practically scare away a galra platoon, Allura and Coran having the castle, and Shiro being a general badass I'm sure there fine." he stated with his signature smile "and of course you've got me."

"wow, lance I feel so relieved and reassured" Pidge deadpanned with a blush she was clearly fighting and failing.

"HOLY CROW she was blushing! but why? Could it be the heat? no, it's warm but not that hot. Is she embarrassed about something? no that's not pidge's style. that only leaves ...oh quiznack she's in LOVE! but with who? Hunk? they hang out a lot but could there be more to it? Keith? they don't talk a lot but I suppose anything's possible. Shiro? they do seem pretty close. And now that I think about it allure has been trying to get pidge to bond with her. in any case, it's definitely not Coran. that would just be..."

"Hey, where are we? How long have we been walking?" Pidge questioned looking around

lance, now jarred from his thoughts joined her in look around a tad bit worried. they nowhere near the lions, the sea, or anything noticeable. lance smiled uneasily " I think we're lost."

"For the love of all that is, this took forever! sorry if this chapter is a little on the weak side but ya I got nothing else. now on to writing the next chapter."
