"Meeting of Friends"
"Allura, slow down!" Pidge called after the princess.
"I can't! I'm just so excited!" Allura was swimming in dizzying horizontal spirals, her iridescent silver tail just a streak a silver in the water. "Lance says he found who he wanted to marry! I can't wait to meet him!"
Even though he wasn't in line for the throne, Lance had always dreamed of finding love. When he was younger, he spent a lot of his time with Pidge and her brother, Matt, but lately he hadn't been spending time with them, so when Allura asked if Pidge wanted to go see Lance, she jumped at the chance. She missed his goofy nature, not that she'd ever tell him that, but she also found that she liked spending time with the princess.
Pidge didn't think she'd actually get to hang out with her, but when the offer came, Pidge gratefully accepted; now, if only she could catch up to her. She put a little more power into her green tail, hoping that a little burst of speed would help.
She managed to catch up to her just as they approached the palace. The guards allowed to two mermaids to enter without any issues; they had seen the verdant tailed mermaid with the prince before.
"Pidge!"
She looked up a second before she was tackled by a mer with a blue tail. "Hey, Lance."
"I'm so glad you came! You can meet my love." Lance swished his tail, coming to a stop a little bit away. He held his hand out towards a shadowy alcove, and another mer put his hand in his.
When Lance tugged him into the light, Pidge saw that it was a raven haired mer with a strange tail. Most of it was red, but the translucent fins were purple, which matched the purple stripes on his cheeks and his purple eyes. Pidge could also tell he was shy, not being used to so much attention.
"Hi, I'm Pidge."
"I'm Keith."
Allura settled next to Pidge, content to watch the interaction between the younger mers. She had a feeling that Pidge would get along with Keith, even though she had never met the raven haired mer before. Sometimes she got strange feelings, but they never steered her wrong before, and it looked like they didn't steer her wrong this time either.
