Chapter Two: Keith's Predicament

     Three of the Paladins, Allura, and Coran, who had walked back into the room, stood waiting expectantly outside of Keith's bedroom. They were waiting for the door to open, and either Keith, Lance, or both to walk out and explain what was happening. Instead, a muffled laughter roared from the other side of the door.

     If you were in Lance's position, you would be laughing hysterically too. In front of him, stood Keith, his skin covered in short purple fur. His previously black mullet was tinged with a darker shade of purple. His eyes were glowing a bright yellow. However, that wasn't the funny part. Two long cat-like ears sprouted from the sides of Keith's head, and his helmet was dangling off of one as if he had been trying to put it on. Ironically, his clawed fingers had gotten caught in his fingerless gloves, and his suit hadn't been put on past the waist, due to what Lance guessed was one of the cons of having a tail.

     Without thinking, Lance put his hand on the wall for support from this current attack of hysteria. He put his other hand on the control panel for the door. It slid open, revealing Keith to the rest of the Castle's occupants. Shiro, Allura, and Coran stood in place, speechless. Hunk was trying to stop himself from bombarding Keith with questions and 'I-told-you-so's'. Pidge was the only one to take action... She quickly pulled on her helmet and then tapped the side, where she had installed a camera option.

Click.

She quickly uploaded the picture to 'Helmet-Chat', the team social media 'app' she had built so the Paladins could have a chat system in their helmets.

     "LLLAAANNNCCCEEE...!" Keith growled through clenched teeth.

     "Uh..." Lance laughed nervously. "Sorry, Keith."

     Lance pushed the door button again, closing the door to Keith's room. Keith glared at him, his yellow eyes flashing with anger. He was growling in a very cat-like way.

     "Okay. Before you say anything, that was an accident." Lance exclaimed quickly. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to press the door button, and can you please stop growling?! You're freaking me out!"

     Keith stopped growling. He still looked kind of mad, though, as he  sat down on his bed, carefully avoiding sitting on his own tail. Lance, who 'tried' to change the subject, asked,

      "So... Uh... What happened?"

     "I don't know." Keith replied, slouching over. "I just woke up like this. I didn't even know I had a Galra form!"

     "Can you change out of it?" Lance asked.

     "I... don't know how..."
