Chapter 2
Rora could still remember the day she had joined the Paladins. I mean, it had literally been a matter of months earlier, so that's not really surprising.
She had bought a plane ticket last-minute; with the summer approaching, she had wanted to spend the rest of it in London, however after hearing her father and brother had supposedly died, she got the plane back in order to support her mother, and sister.
However, after returning, she found out little Katie Holt wasn't Katie Holt anymore - she had feigned a different identity in order to enter the Galaxy Garrison, Pidge Gunderson. And so, Rora had gone there to visit her younger "brother", when Shiro had crash-landed nearby while her, Pidge, Lance, and Hunk had been talking. Then, it all happened from there.
She hadn't meant to become a part of the team. She wasn't very well versed in anything space related - unlike her siblings, she'd had more interest in music, art and fashion than space. However, she enjoyed her time on the castle with the Paladins and the Princess and the strange moustachioed man.
Shiro knocked on Rora's door. She, however, was singing her favourite musical theatre song, so he had to wait 4 minutes and 59 seconds before she let him in.
"Hey, Rora. I was just wondering if you had any hair straighteners or makeup or something Kassy could- what are you guys doing?"
He looked around and saw Keith and Pidge and an assortment of stuffed toys sat around like an audience.
"They're playing the X Factor." Keith said.
"Keith is Simon, because he's so grumpy." Pidge said.
"I'm literally not."
"...right. Anyway, do you?"
Rora pointed to her desk, where all of her beauty products were. "Take what you need. Anyway, for my next song-"
"Nuh uh! It's my turn! You had a turn!" Pidge said. "On the X Factor they only get one song."
"Well, this isn't the X Factor, it's the Rora Factor. I think I get another song."
"Keith, what do you think?" Pidge asked.
"Guys, I cannot express how little I care."
"Shiro?"
Shiro turned, eyes slightly widened. "Ummm, take turns. Then it's fair."
"See." Pidge stuck her tongue out. "Sit down, Rora."
Rora sat down. "That's fine. I get more time to think about it now."
Shiro shook his head, gathering up the things, and heading to where Kassy would be staying, placing them on the desk.
"Oh!"
He turned and saw her, with only a towel around her.
"Oh, fuck, sorry, Kassy, I'm just leaving." he slapped his hand over his eyes, turning to leave quickly, walking into the wall in the process.
"Oh, God! Is your nose okay? Stay turned around, one minute." she got changed quickly, before going over to him. "Let me see."
"Ow, that kind of hurt."
"That's what happens when you walk into a wall, sweetie. Here, move your hand." she moved it, placing her hand on his face to get a steady look. "I don't think it's broken."
"Sorry, am I interrupting something?" the two turned to see Hunk. She pulled her hand away.
"No, no, he just walked into a wall and hurt his nose. You okay, hon?"
"Yeah, I just thought you might be feeling... well, anyway, I made you some hot chocolate. Just in case you were feeling bad."
"Oh, Hunk, you sweetheart. That's so kind of you, thank you." she smiled and took it from him. "Thanks for getting me this stuff, Shiro. Will your nose be okay?"
"Yes. Will you be okay?"
She nodded. "I will. Goodnight, you two."
"Goodnight."
The two left. However, it was pretty much impossible to sleep, considering the volume of Pidge and Rora basically screaming Poker Face by Lady Gaga, completely a capella.
