Nyle POV

"Alright, that's all of it," Hunk said as our parents helped us unload some things into the Garrison.

"Here's all our family recipes," Mom said, handing Hunk a couple of boxes. "And this is something special just for you and your sister."

Hunk opened the top box, smelling it. I smiled when I caught a scent as well. Mom's banana cake!

"Banana cake. Mom, you're the best!" Hunk exclaimed.

"Well, your father and I are just so proud of you both, saving the universe and all," Mom said as they walked to the door. "We love you."

We waved to them as they walked out. I turned and saw Lance sitting there, a little upset. I sat in front of him, Hunk following me.

"Launching tomorrow," Hunk started. "The big day. It seems like forever ago when we piled into the Blue Lion and blasted out into space."

"And somehow you were sicker than I am. Which is ironic because I was pregnant," I added, laughing.

He snickered before continuing. "Man, we had no idea what we were getting into!"

"Yeah," Lance responded, bluntly. 

"But now it's different. We've seen it all," Hunk continued. "We're rugged veterans now, going into battle one last time."

"Mm, yup," Lance said, stirring his drink continuously.

"Guess that makes us heroes or something," Hunk said.

"You mean the heroes that have their own TV show?" I exclaimed.

"Did you watch it, Lance? Ah, it's so cool! It's so cool!" Hunk shouted.

"Alright, alright. Calm down," I said.

"They got you spot-on," Hunk continued. "But Coran is like, he's all superserious and stuff. And Allura is a little...I don't know, she's different."

"They white-washed the poor girl," I added. "Oh! Oh! Keith is, like, super friendly! He's like super happy all the time! That's so badly wrong. As much as it's funny, he's not like that all the time."

"Plus, they're hinting at some romance between him and Allura," Hunk said.

"Ugh, oh god. I don't think that'd work anyway," I mumbled.

"What?! Keith and Allura? No, it should be Lance and Allura!" Lance shouted, standing from his seat.

"Ooh, a love triangle. I like where you're taking this," Hunk said as I elbowed him, giving him a look.

"No, no. It's not about that," Lance said. 

"Wait, that's right. You said you were gonna ask Allura on a date," Hunk said. "You asked her, didn't you? Oh, and she said no. Oh. Oh, man. Here I am, rubbing it in your face."

"Wait what? How come I didn't hear about this? I could've totally been some help!" I yelled.

"She didn't say no. I, well, I never asked her," Lance said.

"You chickened out?" Hunk questioned.

"I was going to ask her, but she's been spending, like, every day in the medbay," Lance said. "Maybe, maybe this just isn't the right time."

"Excuse me? Lance, this is the only time! After tomorrow there are no other chances! You need to take it! You're gonna ask her today and that's my final decision, Lance. You understand me?" I said.

"Yeah, I am siding with her on this," Hunk added.

"Hey, sorry to interrupt but we have a meeting. Like now, if you guys don't mind," I heard Keith say.

I turned and saw him standing there with Mereida in his arms. "Oh, right. I forgot about that. Yeah, we're coming."

I got up and went over, smiling as I took Mereida into my arms. "Hey baby, you have a nice nap?"

She cooed as we all started walking to the meeting room. "I ran into your parents walking here."

"Oh yeah? What did they say?" I asked.

"They just said hi to me and Mereida before walking off. They're nice people," Keith responded.

I smiled and looked at Keith. "You should come to eat dinner with us tonight. And meet our family. I think you'll enjoy it."

He let out a small laugh. "I don't know. You think they'd be alright with that?"

"Are you kidding, dude? They'll take you in so fast it's not funny," Hunk added.

"Yeah, I've met their parents before. They'll take you in," Lance said.

Keith thought for a moment before smiling. "Alright, I'll come with you guys."

I smiled and laughed softly. "Good, then I'll be expecting you to come."

"I'll be there. Don't worry," Keith replied.

We walked into the meeting room and sat down, looking forward.

"Everyone, welcome to our final briefing here on Earth," Shiro started. "It's been several months since we began to rebuild, and tomorrow we launch and continue our liberation efforts across all planets still under Galra rule. Commander Holt, what's the latest from your team?"

"We've confirmed that there's still no Galra activity within several galaxies of the Milky Way," Sam responded. "It appears Earth was Sendak's only target."

"Where are we with Earth's defenses?" Shiro asked.

"I've finished my check-in with all the Garrison facilities around the globe," Keith said. "All defenses are up and running. Earth has everything in place to keep itself safe."

"Great. And Atlas preparations?" Shiro questioned.

"Repairs to the IGF-Atlas were completed early last week and it has since passed every test protocol we've put it through," Veronica replied.

"Good. Any updates on the Altean pilot?" Shiro questioned.

"Still unresponsive," Allura spoke. "But she could wake any day now. Perhaps if we had a little more time, we could find out who sent her."

"There's no way to know when or if she'll regain consciousness," Keith said. "We can't wait any longer. We need to get back out there and end this war before the Galra can reorganize."

"Keith's right," Shiro said. "We'll be in constant communication with Earth. When the Altean wakes up, we'll know. I have one more item to discuss. It's out last night on Earth and we've got a lot of work ahead of us. We may not be back home for years. So I'm ordering you, to take some time for yourselves. Be with the ones you love. You've earned it."

The meeting ended and we started walking out. I noticed Lance talking to Allura once I walked out, smiling on seeing the interaction.

"I'm sorry, but I really need to be getting back," Allura said to Lance.

"Oh, right, yeah. Okay," Lance replied, a little defeated. "Um, well, I don't want to keep you, so..."

She and Romelle started walking away as Hunk and I stood in front of him, pushing him back towards them.

"Uh, actually, I was wondering if-- maybe, if you want to, you could have dinner with me tonight? And my family. Dinner with me and my family," Lance stuttered. "My mom's cooking for our last night together. I-I just thought that you could join us."

Hunk and I watched in anticipation as Allura sent a sweet smile. "That sounds wonderful, but I can't."

"Allura, I know you're worried about Luca, but we're worried about you," Romelle said. "It'll be good to get away for a night and clear your head."

"Right, yeah, all that stuff she's saying. Totally," Lance piped in.

"Perhaps, dinner would be nice," Allura said, smiling. "I'd love to."

"Really? Awesome! Dinner tonight. Us. Yes," Lance said.

Hunk and I went over as Hunk whispered softly. "Okay, Loverboy Lance. Now walk away before she changes her mind."

Hunk started dragging Lance back as Romelle came to me. "Excuse me, Nyle do you have a moment for us?"

I smiled as I bounced Mereida, rubbing her back. "Yeah, course. What's up?"

"Do you think, that you could assist us with something to wear to a human dinner party?" Romelle asked.

I laughed and shake my head. "I don't think I'd be the best help but, I could try."

"Well, then we could bring along some more people. And I think you'll be a tremendous help, Nyle. I mean, you have a boyfriend and a child," Allura adds.

"Well, that's true. But I don't think Keith's dating me for my fashion choices," I mumbled.

"In any case, let's go ask Pidge!" Romelle squealed as she pulled us along.

We found where Pidge was, peeking in. "Pidge, do you have a moment?" Allura asked.

"Sure. What's up?" Pidge questioned as we walked over.

"Well, you see, I, um..." Allura trailed off. "I have a--"

"She has a date...with pointy chin!" Romelle exclaimed

I laughed and rolled my eyes. "She's got a date with Lance."

"Where are proper courting vestments obtained on your planet?" Romell asked.

"Wait. A date? With Lance?" Pidge asked. "Weird."

"I was hoping that you might be able to accompany me as I choose my proper attire in accordance with Earth's custom," Allura said.

Pidge's mother started laughing. "Katie? Fashion? That's a good one."

"Well, I heard the mall has reopened," Pidge said. "I've been wanting to check it out, but I'm grounded."

I snickered and laughed some. "Oh man, you got grounded Pidge?"

"Grounded? I wasn't aware humans could float," Romelle said.

"No, no. It just means I'm not allowed to leave my mom's supervision," Pidge responded. "It's a form of punishment."

"What are you grounded for?" Allura asked.

"She's grounded because apparently, my daughter thinks that running away from home and gallivanting off into space without her mother's permission is an acceptable activity for a 15-year-old," Pidge's mom said.

"Well, apparently, finding my brother and saving my father from an intergalactic tyrant doesn't get me a pass!" Pidge shouted.

"Not on your life, young lady," Pidge's mom said, a staring contest going on between the two.

"Please, Colleen. I could really use her help," Allura said.

"We will not let her leave the ground once," Romelle said.

I sighed and rubbed my head. "I'll keep everything under control Colleen, don't worry."

Colleen stared at us for a moment before smiling. "Alright. Only because I know how much Katie hates shopping for clothes."

"Thank you," Allura said, dragging Pidge out with us.

Nadia and Ina (Leifsdottir) decided to join us as well. So we all changed into our normal clothes as we got to the mall, Nadia turning to us.

"Okay, 'Operation Find Allura a Date Outfit' is go," She said. "We're gonna take this one store at a time till we come out of this place successful. Let the hunt begin!"

I laughed and walked with Nadia. "You really are serious about this huh?"

"You know it. Anyway, you haven't told me any details about you and your little boyfriend. Talk to me girl," She said, a mischievous grin on her face.

"There's nothing to tell," I said, laughing. "We just started dating a bit after Mereida was born. That's all."

Nadia laughed and shook her head. "Yeah, but that little cutie came from somewhere. Tell me about him!"

I rolled my eyes and laughed, playing with Mereida's hair. "What exactly are you wanting to know?"

"Everything! When did you two start dating? What do you like most about him? How long have you liked him?" Nadia asked, excited.

I snickered. "We started dating when Mereida was about 4-months-old. And I'm not really sure when I started to have a thing for him. But I know it before Mereida was born. I like that he lets his walls down around Mereida and me. And it reminds me of how much he trusts me to be like that."

Nadia let out an 'aw' sound as she smiled at me. "That's really sweet. But know I will vaporize him if he does anything to you or her."

I blinked before rolling my eyes. "You are so overprotective Nadia. Anyway, we're here for Allura."

She smiled and hums softly. "I love shopping. Don't you, Ina?"

"It's a primal urge from when collecting and gathering was a means of survival," Ina responded.

"It just calms me. Like skydiving," Nadia said. "Now come on. I'm gonna shop this mall so hard."

We started walking along when I saw Pidge shoot back to some stand. "Killbot Phantasm 26: Revengifiance! This is out?"

"Oh, my gosh! It came out a few days before the Galra invaded. No one was ever able to reach the end," Nadia said, zooming over next to Pidge.

"That's right. I have one of the few undamaged units left," The guy running the stand said.

"We'll take it," They both said.

"Okay. Great to meet such passionate KPB fans," The guy says. "What have you got to trade?"

"Trade?" Pidge questioned while the guy nodded.

She looked over at us and we kinda shook our heads, seeing as how we didn't have anything to trade.

"I, uh...I don't really have anything," Pidge responded.

"I'm sorry, but no trade, no game," The guy said.

Pidge groaned as Nadia got up. "Well, that's some way to treat a Paladin of Voltron."

"Wait, what? You mean like, from the show?" The guy questioned.

"Show? Well, kind of. It was based on me," Pidge said.

"My kid loves that show. The game is yours if I can just get an autograph for my daughter," The guy responded.

Pidge then got up, putting on a voice from the show's character of her. "Sure thing! Anything for the kids!"

Pidge then traded the game for her autograph and we went on an entire shopping spree with her writing autographs. She even dressed up as the character, really milking this show. 

We came to a place that had a bunch of clothes in them.

"Oh, I've got a good feeling about this place," Nadia said. "Allura, leave this to us. Ladies, divide and conquer!"

We went into the store, looking around at all the racks. We found some outfits to put on Allura and headed to the fitting rooms.

Nadia gave her picked outfit and let Allura change before she came out in a sporty outfit. We all disapproved of it as Ina put her outfit on Allura. It looked a little too baggy on her, so we moved on. Romelle put Allura in something very colorful that didn't match, which we definitely moved on from. Pidge put Allura in something that was like the show version of Allura, so we passed on it. I handed Allura my outfit choice and she smiled at me. It was simple but it was complimenting her figure.

She changed into it and came out. We all smiled when she walked out. She looked beautiful. 

"I think we've done it," Nadia said.

"What 'we' Nadia? It was my pick," I said, sarcastically.

She laughed and pushed my arm. "I know you did little lady."

Allura changed back into her clothes and we went to the counter, going to get them from the owner.

"Well, hello there. Is this everything?" The owner asked.

"Yep. Mission complete," Nadia said.

"Let's see what we've got," The owner said, doing some type of calculations. "A decorative tarp with casing, one foot container, and its mirror match, and some miniature chain binding. That'll be one pheob of servitude from your small friend here."

"What? A year?" Nadia asked.

"A month. I got this," Pidge said as she got into character. "How about you give us all of this and I give you an autograph from a world-famous Paladin of Voltron?"

The owner looked at us confused before frowning. "No! Price just went up to three pheobs!"

"I could give you a royal decree of service from the Crown Princess of Alte...oh, right, I, um," Allura trailed off.

"I can bake you a deca-pheobs worth of blomfruit pies," Romelle said. "I just need blomfruits. You wouldn't happen to sell any?"

"Shipping will cost you ten pheobs of servitude alone," The owner says.

"Perhaps this was a bad idea," Allura said. "I don't need the dress. Let's just go."

We started walking back when the owner called us back. "Wait! I'll give you a friendly deal. You can have this, for Killbot Phantasm 26: Revengifiance."

"No deal! What could you possibly need it for?" Nadia asked.

"I've been looking to get my claws on that game for deca-pheobs. I'm a huge KPB fan," The owner said.

"Mm-mm, sorry. No can do," Nadia said. "I've waited three years to get to the end of this game,"

"Fine, you can have it," Pidge said, handing the game over. "We don't have any time to play it anyway."

Allura smiled and hugged Pidge tightly, lifting her from the ground. "Thank you, Pidge."

We all left and headed back to the Garrison. We came back, going to our separate places. Hunk and I headed back home to get ready for our dinner.

I dressed Mereida up before getting myself ready since Keith was coming over to meet my family as well.

I smiled as I looked at both of us in my mirror. Mereida looked adorable and I looked pretty decent. Well, much more decent after being in a battle for a couple of years.

I came downstairs, walking Mereida down the stairs before smiling at Hunk when I saw him at the bottom of the steps. "Hey, you're looking nice Hunk."

"So are you. You look amazing," He complimented before picking up Mereida. "And you look, gorgeous little lady."

She cooed and laughed as she smiled at Hunk. I laughed and hum softly. "Has Keith gotten here yet?"

"Yeah, he's in the kitchen with mom and dad. They're still talking I think. Dinner is probably gonna be ready soon," Hunk said, letting Mereida down.

I nodded and smiled at him before walking into the kitchen with Mereida walking next to me. Keith turned and stopped talking, staring at me for a moment. I laughed and rolled my eyes.

"You done starin' yet cassanova?" I said, jokingly.

He snapped out of his trance, smiling. "Yeah, yeah. I'm done. You look, absolutely beautiful."

I smiled, about to say something when Mereida ran to him, grabbing his leg. "Daddy!"

He smiled and picked her up. "Hey, squeaky. You look pretty."

I smiled and went over, hugging Keith. "You look very nice. You know I didn't expect the dress shirt. But I like it."

He laughed and smiled at me, wrapping his free arm around me. "I got some help from my mom. So I have her to thank. You really like it?"

I laughed and looked up at him. "Of course I do. You look handsome, Keith." 

"He does look nice doesn't he Ny?" My mom interjected.

I laughed and rolled my eyes. "You aren't scaring him are you?"

She laughed and shakes her head. "No, no. Not at all. He's a very nice boy."

I rolled my eyes and look at Keith. "What did she say to you?"

Keith let out a small laugh and smiled at me. "She was just telling me how you like to draw is all. And she said you're really good."

I groaned and pouted. "I'm not that good. She's overselling it."

Keith let out a snicker. "Will you show me your drawings after we eat?"

I smiled and laughed softly. "Yeah, sure. Since you wanna see them that bad."

His smile became bigger if that was possible. "Can't wait."

I laughed and hum softly. "You wanna come and help me set the table?"

"Sure, I don't see why not," He responded, walking over to the table with me, Mereida still clinging to him.

I giggled and gently took her before setting her down. "Go play with uncle Hunk baby."

She smiled and ran off, leaving us in the dining room. "You know how to set a table right?" I said in a joking voice, handing him plates.

He pushed my arm and laughed. "Yes, I do for your information."

I laughed and started to set up the table, him following my actions shortly after. 

"So, how does it feel being with your family again?" Keith asked.

I smiled and hum softly. "It feels great honestly. I got to hug my parents, my siblings, my niece, my nephew, and my grandma. And, they've all changed. But, in a good way."

He smiled and made his way to me once we finished setting the table, taking my hand in his. "I'm glad you're happy. It's nice to see you smile so much."

I leaned in his chest and close my eyes. "It's nice to see you here with us too. And, I really want this night to be the best. Because it's gonna be the last good night for a while. We, we won't be able to be with Mereida either."

I heard him sigh as he wrapped his arms around me. "Yeah, that's something I hate too. I don't wanna miss any of her life but, seems like we don't have much of a choice for the time being."

I nodded and opened my eyes, looking up at him before smiling. "At least I have you right?"

He looked at me and smiled. "Yeah, you do. And I have you."

I let out a laugh and held his cheeks, kissing him. I heard him laugh and held my waist. We pulled apart and I laid my head on him.

"I love you, Keith."

"I love you too, Nyle."

"We get it, you two love each other. Can I put some of this on the table?" I heard my older sister Maria's voice.

I rolled my eyes and looked over to see her putting down two bowls full of food. "Geez, you really are subtle huh?"

She smiled and laughed. "You know I am. Is this your little boyfriend? We're finally meeting him?"

"Yes. So don't embarrass me, Maria," I responded.

Keith let out a laugh and looked at her. "Are you her sister?"

Maria smiled at Keith and nodded her head. "Yes, I am. I'm Maria, her older sister."

"Keith. I'm Keith," He responded.

"Nice to meet you, Keith. It's nice to have you over. You're Mereida's dad right?" Maria asked.

Keith nods and hums softly. "Yeah, that's me."

Maria smiled and shakes his hand. "Well, Ny must really like you if she's dressed up so nice."

I rolled my eyes and shake my head. "Maria, be careful what you start saying."

She laughed and started walking away. "I'll embarrass her more at dinner. Just ask me anything and I'll tell you."

He smiled and looked at me. "I won't ask her anything."

I let out a small laugh and smiled at him. "You better not."

He laughed and grabbed hold of my hand. "I won't, don't worry."

We all sat down for dinner soon enough and started to talk with one another. It was really just my siblings embarrassing me in front of Keith.

"Nyle's always been a troublemaker. I'm more surprised she's found a boyfriend," My older brother Zach spoke.

I rolled my eyes and rested my head on my hand. "Why are we talking about me again?"

"Just because it's fun. And I'm sure Keith needs to know what he's been getting into," Maria responded.

"We've been dating for two years. I think he knows enough about me," I said.

"Two years? That's how long you both have been together?" My dad asked.

"Yeah, we started dating a few months after Mereida was born," Keith said as he held onto my hand. 

"Did she hypnotize you? Usually, she can't keep a boyfriend for more than a few months," Maria said.

"Oh my god, I didn't hypnotize him," I replied, a little annoyed while trying to feed Mereida.

"We're just playing Ny, don't worry," Zach said.

"Really makes me feel better," I mumbled.

Keith slightly squeezed my hand, sending me a smile that actually made me feel better.

"You and Hunk are still gonna be part of the wedding right? I'm not doing it until I have you both," Maria spoke.

I laughed softly and leaned back. "Yes, we will Maria."

"Oh, Keith! The groomsman that was supposed to walk with Nyle said he didn't want to be one anymore. She needs a partner, do you wanna fill the spot?" Maria asked.

I looked at Keith, smiling. "You should do it. Trust me, it'll be fun."

He let out a small laugh and smiled. "Sure, I don't see why not."

"Great! We'll be happy to have you!" Maria shouted.

"I'll be happy to come," Keith responded. "What exactly would I have to wear?"

"Just a maroon suit. I'll help you with it, don't worry," I said.

We continued to talk during dinner before it ended. I helped clear the table before Zach came to me. "I'll take care of this. You should go spend some more time with Mereida and Keith."

I smiled at him and pat his shoulder. "Thanks, Zachy. I appreciate it."

He sent me a thumbs up before I walked off. I went over to the stairs where Keith was sitting with Mereida playing with his fingers.

He looked up and smiled when he saw me. "Hey."

I smiled and sat down. "Hey, what's up? So, how's my crazy family in your book?"

He let out a laugh and shakes his head. "There's not much to say other than the fact that they're pretty cool. I like them."

"Well, that makes one of you. Most guys I would bring over, my family usually chases them off," I said.

"I don't see why. They just have bigger and louder personalities. Like you. They've been missing out," Keith responded.

"You're probably the only one who thinks that. You wanna go on a walk?" I suggested.

He smiled and got up, holding Mereida close before holding his hand out to me. I smiled and took it as he helped me up. 

We walked out of the house, starting to take a walk down the street. "I really enjoyed tonight. It was, probably the closest I've had to a family for a long time," Keith said.

I held his hand and squeezed it a small bit. "Well, you definitely won't be alone anymore with us. We tend to always be in each other's business."

He laughed and shakes his head. "Sometimes I wish I had siblings, someone to share something with. Like the relationship you and Hunk have. Sometimes I want that."

"Well, you could. I mean, I'm sure Hunk would gladly take you in," I responded with a smile.

"I'm glad. Cause I don't think I'm going anywhere for a while," Keith said quietly.

"Hey, what are you guys doing out here?" I heard Allura's voice.

I looked ahead to see her and Lance with Beezer trailing behind them.

I smiled and laughed softly. "We're just on a walk. Keith came and had dinner with my family."

"Allura and I just got back from the park. We finished eating with my family a while ago," Lance said.

"Sounds like you guys had a nice time," Keith spoke.

"We did. It was lovely meeting them," Allura said.

"And you look stunning Allura. How's the dress working out for you?" I asked.

She smiled and laughed. "It's very comfortable. Thank you for the help today, Nyle. And might I say I love your outfit. It looks magnificent on you."

I smiled and fixed my skirt. "It was just something I put together really. But, thank you."

"Never thought I'd see the day Keith was dressed nicely. It's almost always strictly that jacket and his armor," Lance said.

Keith rolled his eyes and snickered. "It wasn't exactly my pick. You can thank my mother for putting this on me."

"Ah, I remember Krolia telling me that she helped you pick something nice to put on for tonight. You look dapper though, Keith," Allura complimented.

"Thank you, princess," Keith replied.

I gently took Mereida into my arms and bounced her. "We also came out here just to get some more time with Mere before we have to say 'bye' to her for who knows how long?"

"I'm sure she'll miss you both. But she's got your parents for the time being," Allura responded.

"Yeah, but we're gonna miss her too," Keith responded.

"Hey, you guys wanna walk with us for a while?" Lance suggested.

"Sure, why not? We'll come along," I said.

The four of us walked, talking about some things until we separated after a couple of hours.

Keith and I ended up back at my house. We came inside as he carried a sleeping Mereida. I smiled and laughed softly. "We better get her to bed. Come on, you can stay in my room with me."

"You sure you want me to stay over?" Keith asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Come on, let's go. I'll go ask Hunk for something you can sleep in," I said, taking him to my room. "My mom, put a crib in my room for Mereida so you can put her in there."

Keith went and put Mereida in the crib before sitting on my bed. "You want me to wait here?"

"Yeah, I'll be right back," I said before heading to Hunk's room and knocking on the door.

The door opened, revealing him in some comfortable clothes. "Oh, hey. You need something?"

"Can I have some clothes for Keith to change into Hunk? Please?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure. Here," Hunk said, grabbing some clothes before handing them to me. "These should be small enough to fit him."

"Thanks, Hunk. Night," I responded before walking back to my room.

I came into my room and handed Keith the clothes. "The bathroom is just across from my room. You can change in there."

He left to go change as I changed into my own sleep clothes. I sat down on my bed as Keith came back in. He came and laid down on my bed.

I lay next to him, laying my head on his chest. "You're comfy."

He laughed a little and held onto me, pulling the blankets over us. "It's probably because I'm wearing Hunk's clothes."

"Sure. You're still comfy. Night, Keith," I said, yawning.

"Night Nyle," He responded before we both fell asleep.

                                                                                      ___+___

The next day, we were getting ready to launch. We were lined up in front of the lions and the Atlas.

"This will be perhaps the most defining moment in our history," Sam said. "The day humankind reaches beyond its homeworld to help the immense universe of which we inhabit such a small part."

"In the blink of an eye, the world as we knew it became much larger than we'd ever thought possible," Keith said. "And now we rise up to join the fight alongside so many others different from us...but of like minds, to stand firm in the face of tyranny."

"For all deserve to decide their own future as we have decided to spend ours ensuring the freedom of the universe," Allura said.

"Each and every one of you have given something to this fight," Shiro said. "Many have been lost, but not in vain. Because through their sacrifice, many more will live on. I make you this promise now. We will return triumphant."

After the speech was finished, we said goodbye to our families before boarding the ship and taking off. Going off to another part of the universe to start our journey.
