CHAPTER SIX

The afternoon came again and everyone arrived at the Control Room.

"So Keith," Daniel asked, "What was it like to be in that eternal sleep?"

"It was strange," Keith answered, "I felt like I was in a state of nothingness as I heard voices, but the Haggarium that Lotor placed in me kept me from breaking out of the nothing like state."

"Man, that's freaky." Larmina replied.

"Keith, what did you mean when you said you heard voices in your nothing like state?" Lance asked.

"I could hear what you guys were saying but I couldn't do anything cause I was that powerful sleep trance Lotor placed me in." Keith looked over at Allura, "Thanks for bringing me back. I probably would've been long gone if you hadn't shown up."

"Don't thank me," Allura replied, "It's Larmina you should thank for saving your life."

"Well then, thanks Larmina." Keith replied, looking at Allura's niece. Larmina chuckled and blushed a little as she put her left hand behind her head.

"Looks like your story did come true," Daniel said, "Ending and all."

"Which reminds me," Lance asked, "Why exactly did you cadets go out last night?"

"That would be my fault there," Larmina answered, "I was freaking out cause my story went missing and Daniel and Vince..."

"Decided to go help Larmina get her story," Daniel cut in, "I convinced her she should get her story and I'd go and help her."

"Um -" Larmina started to say, "Yeah."

She didn't get why Daniel covered for her, but she guessed he just wanted to. So Larmina decided not to say anything else. Lance opened his mouth as he tried to say something.

"Whatever you want to say," Allura told Lance, "Take a deep breath...and don't."

"She's right Lance," Keith added, "I think just this time we should let that slide."

"But not with anything else they do in the future?" Lance replied.

"Exactly." Allura said.

"Alright then." Lance sighed. Everyone talked amongst themselves in the control room. Vince looked around as everyone was talking.

"Vince?" Pidge asked, "What are you looking for? Is something wrong?"

"Nothing really." Vince answered, "except um, I had a prototype a few nights back and when I went to find it this morning, it was gone."

"Do you have any clues on where it could be?"

"I have no idea, but I hope to find it."

"I'm sure you will."

Vince sighed and nodded. Larmina and Keith looked at each other.

"So you think this fairy tale has had a happy ending?" Larmina asked.

"It could be a long shot," Keith answered as he looked at Allura, "But it is a great possibility when all is said and done."

Larmina looked up and nodded, thinking the same thing as she closed her eyes and then reopened them. If the Voltron Force can defeat the Drule Fleet for good, the ending could possibly be a happy one.
