Chapter Text
H: Pidge
H: Pidge…
H: Piiiiiiiidge
H: Pidge, pick up
H: Pidge, I know you’re seeing these
H: this thing shows if you’ve so much as glanced at it you know
P: Sorry, hands were full and I didn’t want to use voice to type in front of Hunk
H: Oh, sorry. Is this a bad time?
P: It depends.
P: If you’re a malfunctioning goo machine with a fried Altean motherboard-
P: it’s a very, bad time
P: If you’re a friend who needs to vent
P: Perfect timing!
H: These damn rich kids are giving me hives
P: Literally?
H: No, but hives would be preferable
P: What happened?
H: I was sent to do the shopping and given a list
P: ...
P: Is that all?
H: Sorry, got a text from Brainless about tomorrow
P: How is Tamaki?
H: Same as usual
P: You have my deepest sympathies
P: Soooooo what happened today?
H: Ok, so I went to the store on my way to school
H: This is the grocery store I go to all the time
H: So it’s stuff I’m used to, okay?
H: Important for the story
P: Got it. Please continue
H: One of the items on the list was coffee
H: I get the cheapest one because it’s what you do right?
P: Of course
H: Sunshine sees it and starts going on and on about commoners’ coffee
H: Apparently he’s never had instant coffee before
P: Ah, instant coffee…
P: Tastes like mud but it gives you the buzz
H: Exactly!
H: Thank you!
P: So what did Tamaki do with the peasant coffee
H: Commoner coffee
P: Same difference
H: To him? Yeah
H: He had me “prepare it” for him to taste
H: Like it was the biggest production for me to mix water and coffee granules together
P: What did he think of it?
H: Who knows? I don’t think he even tried it
H: He spent the next 20 minutes offering to let the reluctant girls drink it from his lips
H: They’d “faint” at the thought and he’d have to give them
H: mouth 2 mouth
H: Which caused more “fainting”
P: Gross
H: Yeah
H: The day kind of went downhill from there
P: Sometimes it’s the little things I miss the most
P: Like instant coffee
P: Working food goo machines
P: Then some dumb boy has to come in and mess it up permanently for me
H: Haven’t had any luck then?
P: Nah, it was a long shot in the first place
P: Hunk will be heartbroken
P: Maybe Coran, too
H: No one else?
P: lol
P: No
H: What happened?
P: I don’t know for sure
P: the guilty parties aren’t saying anything
P: but I’m 99.9% sure Lance was involved
H: sounds about right
H: Hey, my dad’s home. I’ve gotta go
P: Okay.
P: Hope tomorrow’s better
H: Thanks, but that’ll only happen if Tamaki’s out sick
H: …
H: maybe
P: lol- good night
H: Night!
*** *** ***
P: The next time Keith comes to me for a little help with something you are to remind me that I will never, ever, ever help him again!!!
P: And he OWES ME!!!!!!
H: uh, hi
H: what happened
P: Not much
H: you seem pretty upset for not much happening
P: that's because I was in an UNNECESSARY fight for my life!
P: and it's ALL KEITH'S FAULT!!!
H: What did he ask you to do???
P: just some erasing of the castle’s video feeds
P: And disconnecting the alarm system in the
P: training room- child’s play really
H: why were you erasing the castle’s video feed?
H: as well as the alarm system?
P: Because I needed to make sure that no one had proof that Keith
P: is a rotten
P: no good
P: evil
P: PRANKSTER!
P: he even got me!
P: I'll never live it down if Matt finds out
P: I did keep a copy of the feeds for my files though
H: What did Keith do? -_-
P: First of all he’s been talking about “space ghosts” for the last two weeks
P: He kept shying away from shadows
P: And walking into our rooms in the early hours
P: Saying that he was following a noise
H: Sounds suspiciously like Hikaru and Kaoru! ^_^ Lol!
H: Maybe Tamaki! Lol! ^-^
P: Probably. Wouldn’t put it past them.
P: I doubt Tamaki has the stamina to sustain this level of pranking
P: anyway…
P: We all just thought it was the Galra coming out in Keith
P: But Coran and Allura said they’ve never seen anything like this
P: So we had no idea what was going on
P: And everyone started getting a little jumpy.
P: So finally this morning
P: He walks in here and says that he needs a “little favor”
H: This isn’t going to end well.
P: You are so right
P: Apparently he spent the twenty minutes I bought him
P: Going into the controls of the training simulator
P: and just crossing every wire he could find
P: Unplugging parts
P: and making a general mess of the controls
H: Sounds like Honey when he’s hyper.
P: lol
P: I wouldn't have put it that way, but yeah
H: He's literally bouncing off walls when he's had too much sugar.
H: He's got a major sweet tooth.
P: Keith doesn't have that excuse
P: So, I was watching him but all I could see was that he spent some time under the controls
P: I didn't know he'd gone quiznacking crazy under there
H: What happens after that?
H: I need to know!
P: Thankfully we all were down there with our bayards and full armor because everything went haywire
P: the invisible walls went up and down randomly
P: with Hunk on top of one!
H: Poor Hunk!
H: I wish I could've seen that!
P: I'll try to send you the video
P: Lance was running around yelling about space ghosts
P: while being chased by one of the fighting droids set to about 20
P: which left Shiro trying to assess the greatest threat
P: and I was trying to decide whether or not to help the pack of crazed bots attacking Keith
H: Why should you?
H: He's the one who turned the fighting droids up to about 20
P: Exactly!
P: We nearly DIED because of Keith's prank!!!
H: Well, now Keith learned his lesson.
H: Never set a Battle Droid up that high!
P: Oh Keith learned a lesson
P: and I plan on teaching him another one
P: he has to include me completely on any other pranks involving tech because otherwise we could die!
H: Isn't that a bit much?
P: that is actually an understatement.
P: which is something that I will be discussing with Keith very soon
H: oh! really?
P: yeah. I've got to teach him it's hard to laugh when you're being frozen in the vacuum of space
P: It's just lucky for us that Allura’s magic was able to shut everything down
H: I am so glad that you and the rest got out of there safely!
H: I wouldn't know what I would have done if you guys hadn't made it out!
P: aw, thanks!
P: but I wouldn't say we all got out safely
H: What do you mean? Who didn't make it out?!
P: *snickers*
P: Well if I happened to be between Lance and Keith when the lights went out
P: and I accidentally staggered into each of them
P: and my bayard just happened to still be on
P: because who knew if the drones were coming back?!
P: and I just happened to use my bayard on both of them… maybe a little more on Keith
P: *shrugs* what can I say?
H: *giggles* I can't believe you actually did that!
H: I wish I had your bayard to use on both Hikaru and Kaoru
H: I would like to shock those two troublemakers at times! Lol!
P: LOL! maybe next time we visit I can let you borrow mine for a bit
P: Oh gotta go. Hunk says Coran needs me to help them fix the simulator
H: Ok! Can't wait to see or talk/text you next time!
H: I need to get going, too. We have some customers that just walked in the host club! I’d better go help Tamaki. He always needs my help! Ttyl!
P: Alright! Later!
