"Well you two look like death," Pidge remarks upon noticing that both Lance and Keith arrive to school in a zombie like state. Just how late did you stay up?"
"Don't know and don't care," Lance mutters, "I need more caffeine." Chugging the last of his ice coffee, Lance throws his bottle at the nearest trash can, hoping for it to fall in. It doesn't. In fact, he misses the trash can by three feet. However, he still manages to hit something or rather someone.
It isn't until the hooded figure turns around that they recognize them as being Rolo. "The face he's making looks like he just sucked on a lemon," Pidge jokes, trying to make light of the situation. "Hey Rolo, calm down! It was just an accident!"
"Accident?" Rolo snarls in response, "How could it be an accident when he is involved," pointing first to Lance, then to to Keith, he adds, "Did you not learn your lesson?"
"Wait wait wait," Lance says, rubbing his temples as he thinks. "Are you the one that gave Keith a bloody nose a while back?"
"Maybe I did maybe I didn't" Rolo responds, with a smirk. "What are you going to do about it, Pedro?" As soon as Rolo utters Pedro all hell breaks loose. A tired Keith is tries to prevent a tired Lance from taking on a well rested Rolo. All the while their peers cluster around them, because they can sense that a fight is going to break out soon. Amongst the crowded hallway it is easy for Keith to lose track of Pidge. Just as soon as he thinks that he spots them once again, the fire alarms screech.
Due to the firearm, the hallway is cleared out quickly. Rolo who isn't as tough as they all thought, is one of the first to exit the building.
"You can thank me for saving your life later," Pidge whispers, as teachers struggle to put students in smaller, easy to count groups. After a brief pause, the add, "What were you thinking, going after him while you're so tired? If you're going to fight him you need to get a good night's rest. That and eat healthy foods. Oh and build up muscle mass.
"Please don't encourage him," Keith mutters. Although first hesitating, he ends up adding, "I know being insulted like that sucks, but it isn't worth getting into a fight over."
"It wasn't about that," Lance responds, with a small yawn. "Well part of it was... I was mostly mad about the fact that he punched you in the face and gave you a bloody nose."
Although surprised, Keith manages to respond. "It's no big deal. His punches aren't that bad. I've felt worse."
"That isn't comforting," Pidge remarks, earning words of agreement from Lance. "You don't deserve to get punched. People like, Rolo and Nyma however..." Pidge hisses when they spot Nyma in the distance. "They should get punched twenty times in a row and see how they like it."
"It doesn't feel good," Keith jokes. However, it isn't clear that he is joking. Due to that, both Pidge and Lance emit loud gasps. "I was kidding!" Keith exclaims, "I was just trying to lighten the mood..."
"Good," Lance responds, "If you weren't I was going to embark on a cross country trip to find who punched you twenty times in the row and punch them twenty times in a row". Just as Lance finishes his sentence teachers start to allow them to reenter the building. "Awww man,"Lance groans, " just realized that I put my shirt on backwards."
"And Keith's is inside out," Pidge says, with an evil giggle. "I was going to tell you, but you were too busy getting ready to fight Rolo...."
"Pidgeeeeeeeeeee" Lance whines, "Why must you always betray me?"
"Because it's funny... Well, it's funny until you whine. You whine louder than a sad dog," Pidge responds, ending their sentence by stick out their tongue. "Oh, and I'm curious... Why did you two stay up so late? In fact, why are both of you so tired? Did you stay up together? Or did you keep Keith up against his will, spamming him with memes? I bet they were bad memes or old memes. After all, you only use those horrid memes like dat boi."
"Pidge, foolish Pidge," Lance says, all the while shaking his head side to side in disappointment. "Dat boi isn't an old meme. It is a timeless meme. A timeless meme that few are able to fully appreciate for it's frog riding a unicycle glory."
"You didn't answer my questions, Lance," Pidge says all the while letting their gaze shift back and forth between the two of them. "You did stay up together! What did you guys talking about? Give me all of the details!"
"No I don't wanna. I bet Keith doesn't want to either. After all, you'd probably make a blog post about on conversation on tumblr, which is a HUGE break of the friend code. Besides, the conversation was a top secret, Lance and Keith only conversation! We can't have the whole world knowing that we plan to take it over."
"So you two must have had either a really lame or really interesting conversation if you are hiding it," Pidge says, narrowing their golden eyes. "Either way, I WILL find out what you talked about! It's not a threat. It 's a guarantee."
At this, the only thing Lance whispers to Keith, "We should probably change our facebook passwords."
