[While most people are still asleep, Lance is on the grind. Like, literally. He's standing in the bathroom of the Attack on Voltron house, clad in the Starmiebucks' uniform with the nice circular logo of a Starmie in the center of the apron, flashing a dazzlingly white smile at the camera even if it's just after dawn and most people are still asleep and the poor souls who are awake aren't even thinking about popping fingerguns at the network like he's actually doing right now, oh my god. His hair is laid and his face is moisturized to perfection, sunscreen and high quality lip balm and all. Someone's gotta make the Latias Lattes and it's gonna be him. Lance might as well look good while doing so.]

Hello, world! I'm Lance and this is my announcement that today, the best leg of Voltron, the right blue one, is gainfully employed at your local Starmiebucks. [He cups his ear, feigning deafness because he's also dramatic as well as being a moron.] Wait? What's that? What's Voltron? Oh, just a gigantic robot that's currently saving the entire universe back at home, one Galra at a time.

[Christ, who was idiot who hired this braggart fool? Fire them and him.]

Anyway, this week, we're running a half-priced special on your favorite Pokéccino and with every one purchased by a pretty face, you get a chance to win a date with me, Lance the Blue Pala-

[Enjoy that sudden high pitched shrill scream that can probably be heard for miles as the 'gear clatters to the floor and the sound of Lance scrambling along the floor is heard following it. All the camera catches is one blue tentacle slowly retreating back behind the shower curtain, leaving droplets of water in its wake.]

Thanks again. It's been a while since I've worked in a retail job, but I'm sure I can handle it. [Working at the skating rink has become second nature to her, though they've been in a slump due to a lack of interest in figure skating lessons. Hopefully Yuuri getting silver at the Grand Prix Final can boost business back home.]

No prob. If you can pour drinks, you can do a pretty good job here.

[He means, they hired him. He's never held a job in his life and nothing at Starmiebucks requires piloting experience so he's sure Yuuko would be a-okay.]

All you have to do is that and not give into the grump non-morning people.

I think I can manage both of those things well enough. [If she can deal with three six-year-olds who have stayed up to ungodly hours the night before to watch livestreams despite all the times she told them to go to bed, she can probably deal with non-morning people.]

I'll let you know what they say when I go in later.

[Motherhood sounds hard. God bless Lance's mother. She must be a saint with all the patience this guy requires.]

But if you need something, you know you could always call me, right? I don't mind.

[Moms have to put up with a lot. She's learned that firsthand.]

I'll be sure to. And you can always get in touch if you need my help with anything, too. [She's used to being the supportive friend, after all. But it's still good to know that she can get some support in return.]

[Oh, Yuuko. You just opened the door to a homesick boy who hasn't seen his own mom for months. That's creating a monster.]

Cool, cool. I'll make sure to check in with you every so often.

I appreciate it. [Hey, she already managed to basically adopt a difficult teenager back home.]

So are you living with your friends now? The ones you went into space with?

Yeah, most of them anyway. We have a few of us still missing and there's two other guys that live here that aren't from where I am. I'm not sure where they are or where they're from, but my friend likes them so I guess they're cool.

[That's a lot of guys in one house, most of them teenagers. Can you imagine the smell, Yuuko?]

[She can, and she's thankful that she probably won't have to deal with that once the triplets become teenagers. Probably.]

Well, it's nice that you're able to live with people you already know. And I'm sure you'll be able to get along with the ones you don't know yet.
