The majority of us were gathered outside the lions. Hunk was slightly away,staring up at his lion and Romelle stands behind him. Pidge was in the green lion,trying once again,to contact Earth. I stand close to Keith,subtly trying to get the physical attention that I've missed. Pidge exits her lion and walks over,sitting on the stack of boxes next to Shiro.

"Where you able to contact Earth?" He asks.

"No luck. The low power are probably affecting our broadcasting range. I'll keep trying as we head for Earth." She answers. Hunk walks back over. I couldn't help but let my shoulders sag.

"I can't believe we're finally going home." Lance says as he smiles at the ground.

"I'm going to hug my parents and never let go." Hunk said,wrapping his arms around himself.

"Oh,I can't wait to see my parents and little sister." I also say,bringing my hands to my chest. Keith softly smiles.

"I can't wait to see how dad integrated Altean and Earth technologies together. I bet he came up with something amazing. And my mom..." Pidge trailed off,a scared look formed on her face. "Oh,she's going to be so mad at me for running away. I hope I'm not grounded." I gasped.

"Oh no,I forgot about my mom. Oh,she is so going to kill me." I stress,already imagining my mother running at me with a wooden spoon and yelling angrily in Japanese.

"How long do you think it'll take us to bet back?" Keith asks Coran,after giving me a strange look. Coran is looking up as he thinks,counting on his fingers.

"I was just calculating that now. Without the luxury of wormholes and with diminishing power cores,let me see,carry the one...oh it's going to take us approximately 150,000 Earth years." We all let out loud gasps,I clutch my chest,Lance looks like his soul left his body.

"150,000 years?" Keith repeats,sounding as shocked as the rest of us.

"Coran,I think your finger counting is a little off. It's going to be 1.5 years." Pidge speaks up,making everyone sigh in relief. 

"Oh,right. I didn't carry the three." He says with a sheepish smile.

"It's going to be a very long ad difficult voyage,but it's our only chance to replace the Castle of Lions." Allura says.

"There are times when I thought I'd never see Earth again." Shiro speaks up,looking up from the ground. "To be able to go back-"

"Well,what are we waiting for? Let's hit the space road." Lance suddenly interrupts him.

"I suppose we need to figure out who's flying with whom." Krolia said.

"And what about the animals?" Coran adds.

"What about them?" I ask,tilting my head.

"Well the Wolf can't go with Kaltenecker,wolfs eat cows. Cow can't be in the same area as mice because aren't cows scared of mice?"

"No,elephants are afraid of mice." Lance corrected.

"Elephants?" The Alteans looked confused.

"Yeah,they're giant grey animals with long noses to grab things." Lance replied,putting his arms up,pretending its a trunk. 

"Earth seems so strange." Allura muttered.

"Look,I don't care where they go,but Fluffy stays with me." I announced.

"You named it Fluffy?"  I put my hands on my hips and glare at Lance.

"Yeah,and?" We stare for a moment before he shrugs and looks away.

"The wolf is riding with me,but that means Hunk will have to take the cow." Keith speaks up.

"Me with the cow? Not a good idea." Hunk crosses his arms.

"Hunk's right. Keith,you're keeping the cow. Someone else will have to take the wolf." 

"Oh! I will!" I say,but they all look to Pidge,I sag my shoulders.

"Not me. I am allergic." I perk back up.

"I'll take him!"

"But,you have Fluffy."

"Yeah?"

"Won't the wolf eat him?" I pause at that.

"Okay,some one else take him."

"I'll take the mice." Allura says with a smile.

"How come you two get the smallest passengers?" Allura and I frown at Keith.

"I say we go old school and draw straws." Hunk suggests.

"But I'm terrible at drawing." Allura whines while sagging her shoulders.

"She really is." Coran says while twirling his mustache. "One time,she tried to draw her Nan-nan,but what she came up with,I've gotta say it looked more like a flan-bil-diplor."

"Guys,you're all overthinking this." Lance interrupts. "I know exactly where everyone should go."

So every body heads to their respective lions,with their new passengers.

"Hunk and mice,ready to go." Hunk powers the yellow lion.

"I'm ready too. But the wolf looks restless. How did I get stuck with it again?" Allura says.

"I'd gladly trade you the wolf for-" Keith,who has Coran,Krolia and Shiro,gets interrupted by Coran.

"I have a question. Why did we let Lance decide all of this?"

"Enough whining! Romelle and I are going to Earth,who's coming with us?" Lance says.

"Kaltenecker seems good with Fluffy and I. This may not be so bad." I say while looking back at the said cow. He stands not far from my chair,chewing a piece of hay. Fluffy flutters around him curiously,he looks at his tail,then gets smacked by the tail,sending him flying onto my console.

"I take that back." I scoop up Fluffy,sending a small glare to the cow,who seems he could care less,and power up my lion. The other lions turn on,and fly off the planet.

~~~

We fly in space for a bit,and to say everyone was having problems with their passengers was an understatement. Except Hunk,who was having the time of his life with the mice. I had taken off my helmet for a moment and set my lion to autopilot,when Kaltenecker walks up behind my chair. I eye him. I turn around and a few seconds later,feel a wet tongue lick the back of my neck. I let out a shrill scream and whip around.

"You disgusting creature!" I shout at him,Kaltenecker simply stares at me while still chewing the same piece of hay. I wipe the back of my neck and put my helmet back on as Hunk appears on one of my screens.

"Korra,check out  this picture I took with the mice!" 

"Not now Hunk." I say,Kaltenecker has started mooing in my ear. I let out a noise of annoyance and pull up Lance on the screen.

"Lance,your cow is being annoying." 

"Got my hands full right now. Romelle don't touch th-" The screen cuts out. I frown. Fluffy nudges my hand.

"At least you're not annoying." I say as I pet him.   

"Guys,I think I did a bad job choosing the passengers." Lance suddenly says. I can hear Coran loudly singing the Altean alphabet. A smell hit my nose,and turn to Kaltenecker,who stands,unbothered.

"I swear,you better just be gassy,or I'm tossing you out!"

"Who wants to see the mice stacked on my head?"

"Wonderful ,now everything is covered in wolf drool."

"Oh yeah,he's super drooly." 

"Say cheese!"

"Romelle!"

"Lance,I swear to god,if your cow poops in my lion,you're cleaning it!"

"Just let the wolf up front."

"No."

"That's it! We're switching passengers." Keith snaps.

"Please!" I beg,

"I second that."

"Agreed."

"Hey,why haven't we heard from Pidge?"

"Yeah,who's in her lion?" I ask.

"I don't know,Lance is the one who came up with the grouping." Keith answers.

"Well,she must have,no,the're with Keith. The wolf is with Allura. Korra has the cow. I have the mice."

"Is she all alone?" Allura questions. Our eyes widen.

"Oh come on guys,this is so not far." Pidge says after we shove all the passengers in her lion. I can hear Coran and Romelle argue over her video game. I snicker. 

"No. Nope. Nuh-uh. No way. Can't do this."

Short little update to make up for suddenly disappearing. I'm emotionally destroyed by stranger things and I also went on a trip with my two best freinds that I honestly forgot about.
