Lance and Pidge came into the Control Room and announced, "We're ready to go get Keith and Princess from the Olympic Dorm."

"That won't be necessary," Coran replied. "I just spoke with Keith, and they are doing fine."

"I knew Keith had everything under control, because he would have contacted us if they had any trouble," Lance agreed, then he turned to Pidge and said, "Come on. Let's go back to bed."

Lance and Pidge turned to head toward their respective bedrooms, but before they got two feet out of the control room, Nanny came running in, demanding to know why they were not heading out to get Princess Allura from the Olympic Dorm. "I decided to keep Pidge and Lance here," Coran explained, "I spoke with Keith, and he assured me that Allura is safe and sound. She is still asleep so he is going to wake her up now. They will be here in time for breakfast."

"I do not like the idea of dear innocent Allura being trapped in that Dorm alone with Keith. He might try to do something horrible with her, like sleep with her," Nanny complained.

"That is not likely, Nanny." Coran replied, "Keith is a trustworthy young man. He has too much duty and honor to do something like that with the Princess. He always goes all out to protect her so we should trust him not to hurt her. Besides, I think we would know if they were sleeping with each other. They would have made a mistake by now."

" I suppose you are right Coran," Nanny replied. "But then again, I never did find that pink bikini of Allura's..."

"I know that Nanny. But they did get caught in a rainstorm. So please don't jump to conclusions, understand?" Coran replied.

Keith turned off his communicator and sat down on the bed, grinning smugly at Allura, "You heard Coran... it's time to get up..."

"Not yet..." Allura moaned as she grabbed him and pulled him on top of her, "I feel like another round of sex before we head back to the Castle. Since breakfast isn't until 10:30, we still have plenty of time before anyone gets suspicious..."

"I can't argue with that logic," Keith eagerly agreed, so he and Allura made love again. Then they got out of bed and stepped into the shower together, where they made love again. Keith jumped out of the shower and ran to the next room. Hearing footsteps, he turned and found that] Allura was right behind him. "Where do you think you're going?" she asked as she caught him, "I wasn't finished with you..."

"I'm getting us some dry towels to put on," he replied, "Why? You're not saying you want another round of sex, do you?"

"I do, Keith," she said, [running her hands over his wet, bare chest. "Can I help it that I just can't stay away from that wonderful body of yours...?" Her hands moved lower. Keith moaned and pulled her down to the floor. When they got up off the floor, they both needed another shower because they were all sweaty again. In the shower, they made love again. Keith told Allura to finish her shower while he went to get their clothes from the dryer and lay them out on the bed.

Allura finished showering and grabbed a towel to dry off. Keith got back in the shower and finally got cleaned up because Allura was not standing wet and naked before him, distracting him. On the other side of the shower curtain, Allura was telling him, "Keith I feel so totally relaxed now. I'm ready to face the whole galaxy today."

As Keith finished his shower and dried off, he replied, "You're right. When we are together we make such beautiful music together. It has been so wonderful to have this time alone here, just you and me, so we could concentrate completely on our happiness and forget all our responsibilities. It is so nice to not have anyone around telling us how to act or feel."

As they both finished putting on their clothes, they said in unison, "I wish we did not have to go back to the Castle, so we could just be ourselves, and not have to be leaders to everyone."

Keith said, "I bet you that Lance told Coran that I am a virgin and would not try anything with you."

"Right Keith," Allura answered. "We planted that seed in their heads..."

"But Allura, I was a virgin until I slept with you," he reminded her.

"I know Keith," she replied. "That's what makes our relationship so special, because we were both waiting for the right person to come along, and we lost our virginity to each other."

"You're right," he agreed as they left the Olympic dorm and got on their horses to head back to the Castle. They spent the entire ride back] talking, laughing, and teasing each other about how they have everybody fooled, and how no one has noticed the private relationship that the two of them are having, right under the noses of their friends and guardians.

Lance [stormed] back into the Control Room after he heard Nanny accusing Keith of trying something with Princess Allura. "You have absolutely no right to accuse Keith of anything. He is the most trustworthy and honest person I know, and he would never try anything with the Princess, especially sleep with her," Lance said angrily. "I shouldn't even be telling you this, but Keith said he will wait until he's married to have sex, because he wants the first time to be truly special. Anyway, Keith is a virgin. He never once went out on a date while we were at the academy. Even Hunk and Pidge have gone out on dates, but not Keith. He was always in his room, studying or working out."

Coran looked at Nanny and replied for both of them, "We know that. We are very sorry that we accused Keith of something like this. We should have known better. After all, he doesn't even show any interest in the Princess unless he is protecting her life. Lance, please don't tell either Keith or Allura about this, because thinking that we have so little trust in them would make them hopping mad and wanting to kill somebody."

"Okay." Lance replied, "But if either of you tell anybody Keith is a virgin I will have to kill both of you. Besides, don't you think they would have been caught by now if they were doing anything, since Keith has been here for two years?"

"You know Allura, if Coran ever finds out about our relationship, I will marry you in a heartbeat and make you my wife." Keith told her as they rode along.

"That's very good to know," she replied.

Keith continued, "The only problem is that I haven't been able to find a ring that's perfect for you. So, I was hoping we would be able to go together and pick out your engagement ring and our wedding rings."

Allura answered, "I really like the sound of that Keith. I appreciate the fact that you ask for my opinion on things."

"And why wouldn't I ask your opinion?" he reminded her, "After all, I'm not like Coran. I want to know what you think, even if he doesn't." They put their horses back in the stables and stole one more kiss from each other before they had to head back to the Castle and once again resume their roles and responsibilities as the Princess of Arus and the Captain of the Voltron Force. Keith told Allura, "We are perfect for each other, you know that?"

"I know," she replied. "I love you Keith." They walked into the Castle, talking about how hard it rained the night before and it just would not let up. Since it was now 10:15, they both went to put on clean clothes before going to breakfast.

As Keith and Allura walked into the dining room, Coran greeted them, saying, "I am so glad that you two are all right from the storm."

"Of course Coran," Keith replied, "You did not need to worry about the Princess. I took very good care of her."

"He's right Coran," Allura replied, " And just so you know,] Keith was a complete gentleman, and he did not try anything last night. But he did keep me company late into the night, talking about different stuff."

"Oh, really," Nanny asked as she served the food for breakfast, "And just what type of stuff did you talk about?"

"We talked about the war, and childhood stories, about our parents, and our futures," Keith replied.

"Yes," Allura agreed, "That's mainly what we talked about Nanny."

"Well then, what did you come up with regarding your future Allura?" Coran asked her. "Did you decide it is time to find a husband?"

"No, I did not," she answered, "I happen to like my life just the way it is."

Little did Coran know that Allura had decided whom her future husband would be. It happens to be Keith, the love of her life.

Lance asked Keith, "I thought you never talked about your childhood except with Sven and me. What made you tell Princess about it?"

"It just came up," Keith shrugged, "And she kept being persistent, so I told her about it."

"Keith, I'm really tired. Can I have a day off from Lion practice?" Hunk asked, his mouth filled with food.

"Sure, Hunk," Keith replied. "I'm really tired too, so why don't we all take today off from Lion practice?"

Pidge sat quietly, he could not believe his ears that Keith was really giving them a day off from Lion practice.

"Wow Keith," Lance exclaimed, "You must be really tired if you're giving us a day off."

"Am I really that bad of a slave driver that I never give you a day off?" Keith asked.

"Yes, Keith, you're that bad," Lance replied.

"Really? You can all have three days off then." Keith told them.

Coran could not believe his ears. He wondered what had come over Keith, that maybe he had gone completely off his rocker. But Coran said nothing, because he knew the boys needed to learn how to take the day off every once in a while. ~I never take a day off either~ Coran thought to himself.

Little did they know that the real reason Keith was giving them the next three days off was because he was really tired from having sex with Allura way into the night and then so many times that morning that he had lost count, not that he was about to complain.

After breakfast Pidge said, "All right, I'm going to go play basketball with the village kids, so that is where I will be if I am needed."

"I'm going back to bed," Hunk added.

"I'm going to go visit my new lady friend," Lance informed them.

"I am going to take a nap," Keith announced, "And I do not wish to be disturbed."

Coran told Allura, "Don't even think about it Princess. You have studies and paperwork to get caught up on."

"All right, Coran, I am going to my study to do my work then," Allura replied, as she thought to herself ~I never get any rest~.

"You know Princess, Coran reminded her, "If you had a husband, he could fill out the paperwork for you."

"I'll help you out with your paperwork Princess," Keith offered.

Allura gratefully accepted, but Coran told them, "No. Keith is not authorized to fill out the paperwork. The right to help fill out the paperwork belongs only to me as the Princess' advisor, or to her husband."

"Thanks for trying to help me Keith," Allura told him as she left for her study. She was very tired, but she was also a very happy woman because she had spent the entire night with her lover Keith. ~I'll study later~ she said to herself, as she went and lay down on her daybed, and immediately fell asleep.

Two hours later, Nanny and Coran went to check on Allura and found her sound asleep on the daybed. Coran told Nanny, "Let's go wake her up, since she obviously can't be trusted to study on her own."

Allura was having the most wonderful dream of her life. She was getting married to Keith, the love of her life, in the biggest wedding in the universe and she was pregnant with his child, and she didn't have to listen to Nanny and Coran anymore unless she wanted to...

"Wake up Allura," she heard Nanny say. She opened her eyes as Nanny asked, "What do you think you are doing, sleeping when you are supposed to be studying and doing paperwork?"

Allura replied, "I really don't appreciate you waking me up from the totally amazing dream I was having..."

"Really? What were you dreaming about?" Coran asked.

"It's a private dream," Allura curtly replied. "The only thing I will tell you is that I did not have to do what you tell me to do anymore."

"The only way that will happen is if you get married," Nanny reminded her. "And at the rate that you are turning down proposals left and right, that won't happen anytime soon."

Coran said, "The only way you're ever going to get married is if we have to pick the prince for you and have you betrothed to him and force you into marriage."

"You said you would never force me into a loveless marriage to a man I do not love!" Princess Allura shouted back. "I will die first, before I let that happen!"

Little do Nanny and Coran know that Allura is pregnant with Keith's child.

"Enough." Coran said, "Princess, it is time for you to get back to your studies. Since you are clearly not responsible enough to study on your own, I will stay and watch you while you study."

Allura thought to herself ~I should have put the secret code on, that way they couldn't have gotten in here to bother me... But at least I had a good nap and a very nice dream, before I had to study and do paperwork~.
