Twelve years later, Lance is now fully grown from a little boy to a beautiful young man and he now has two friends named Hunk and Pidge who support him but sometimes tease him about dreaming of his soon-to be lover. Lance wanted someone who loves for just being him and doesn't want people like Lotor, the village's most famed and beloved hunter in all of Altea, to love him only for his beauty and think of him better as a housewife. Lance has studied in alchemy by his uncle Coran who is a genius inventor despite his creation exploding no matter how hard he tries raised him to become a great healer and master alchemist. However, Lance has been hearing the villagers gossip about how odd he is reading books about alchemy, magic and animals but Lance chooses to ignore them despite feeling doubt in himself

Anyway, Lance is alseep while hearing someone whisper "Lance, wake up. Wake up" but he hears someone yell "WAKE UP, LAZYBONES" Lance screams and falls down on the floor as he sees Hunk and Pidge laughing as he scolds "Don't scare me like that" Hunk laughs "Are you kidding? It's funny, Lance" Pidge asks "Can't you take a joke? I mean where's your sense of fun?" Lance replies "I wish I knew. Anyway, I better get some groceries and I guess it's okay if you guys come along" Hunk says "Oh, that's good because you're probably gonna reject Lotor again like always" Pidge agrees "That guy is so dark, tall and handsome that every woman is head over heels for him. I mean look at him. He's a professional hunter" 

Lance scoffs "He's pompous" Hunk says "He's got nice hair. All the girls love his hair" Lance scoffs "He's boring" Pidge says "He's got muscles" Lance sighs "He's not my type" Hunk asks "Not your type? How can you say that? Is it because you're not a woman?" Lance replies "No, it's because he's just a jerk that kills innocent animals just for the glory and the fun of it" Pidge says "Well, that's what hunters do and Lotor happens to be the best of the best" Lance agrees "I know but he needs to know that killing animals is cruel" Hunk shudders "Yeah but the only cruel animals around here are the wolves and they're like competition to the hunters" Lance asks "Even Lotor?" Pidge replies "Especially Lotor" 

While the trio is walking to the grocery store, Lance notices a crowd of ladies surrounding Lotor which makes him roll his eyes as Pidge says "Just accept it, Lance. If your soon-to-be Mr or Ms Right has to be anywhere, then I gotta see him or her for myself" Hunk agrees "I'll bet it'll be just like a fairytale" Lance scoffs "Very funny, guys. Very funny" After a trip to the grocery, Lance says "Okay guys, I'm gonna go back to Uncle Coran's house" Hunk says "Tell him we said hello" Pidge agrees "And if anyone says he's crazy, tell them that they're idiots" Lance laughs "Okay, I will" Lance starts walking his way hom until Lotor appears and says "Hello, Lance" Lance says "Hola Lotor" Lotor asks "Studying alchemy again? You work too hard for an apprentice" Lance replies "It's the only thing left of my mother and she's the best" 

Lotor smirks "Lance, it's about time you got your head out of magic and pay attention to more important things like me" the women sigh as Lotor explains "The whole town's talking about it. It's not right for a boy to practice such silly magic tricks" Lance scoffs "Lotor, you are absolutely, postively primeval" Lotor asks "Why thank you, Lance. What do you say we go to the tavern and take a look at my trophies?" Lance replies "Sorry, not today" Lotor asks "Busy with chores?" Lance replies "Yes and I don't wish to be disturbed any further. I have to go back to my uncle" one woman asks "What's wrong with him?" another woman replies "He's crazy"  another woman says "Lotor's gorgeous" another woman agrees "His crazy old loon of an uncle needs all the help he can get" 

Lance yells "Don't talk about my uncle that way" Lotor agrees "Yeah, don't talk about his uncle that way" the women gasp at Lotor taking Lance's side as Lance says "My uncle's not crazy, he's a genius" Lance hears an explosion coming from his house and runs toward the sound, opens the door and sees Coran covered in smoke and having a bad hair day as Lance asks "Uncle Coran, are you okay?" Coran coughs "How in the quiznak did that happen?" but replies "I-I'm about ready to give up this piece of junk" Lance giggles "You always say that every time when you try to get every machine right" Coran grumbles "I mean it this time! I'll never get this bone-headed contraption to work"

Lance smiles and says "Yes you will because you'll win first prize at the fair tomorrow and become a world-famous inventor" Coran asks "You really believe that, Lance?" Lance replies "I always have. Besides, a wise man once said "If at first you don't succeed, try again" You just need some more self-confidence" Coran beams "Well, what are we waiting for? I'll have this thing fixed in no time! Hand me that dog-legged clincher there" Lance gives Coran the tool as Coran asks "So, did you have a good time in town with Hunk and Pidge?" Lance replies "Yeah, and I got enought groceries for dinner too" but when Lance asks "Uncle Coran, do you think I'm odd?" Coran asks "My nephew? Odd? Now where would you get an idea like that?" Lance replies "I don't know, it's just that I'm not sure if I fit in around here. There's no one I can really talk to except Hunk and Pidge"

Coran asks "Well, how about that Lotor? He's a handsome fellow, isn't he?" Lance replies "He's handsome, all right and rude and conceited not to mention that he's very vain, cares only about himself, and...Oh Uncle Coran, he's not for me and I don't know if I'll ever find love myself" Coran smiles and says "Well, don't you worry because this invention's going to be the start of a new life for us" Coran finishes the machine and says "I think that's done it. Now, let's give it a try" Lance pulls on a lever to start up the machine and it starts whirring causing both Coran and Lance to step back in cas the machine would explode but instead it continues to operate until the axe attached to it began to chop a log that was on a platform with springs and once the axe finished chopping the leg, it flew up and made a perfect landing on the pile of firewood

Lance beams "It worked! You did it! You really did it, Uncle Coran" Coran smiles and says "It does? It does! Hitch up Blue and Red, boy! I'm off to the fair" Coran hooks his invention with a cart that is hitched on to be pulled by two horses named Red and Blue as Coran asks "And what do you want when I get back, Lance?" Lance replies "A Cupid's Arrow Orchid. like the one in the painting" Coran says "You ask for that every year" Lance agrees "And every year you bring it" Coran laughs "That I do, my boy. That I do but remember" Lance sighs "I know, when I go into the woods, don't stray and be late. Just follow the path and nowhere else. You tell me that every day" Coran agrees "And every day I mean it" Coran moves the reins as Red and Blue pull the cart while Lance waves goodbye and says "Stay safe, Uncle Coran" Coran agrees "Hunk and Pidge will arrive shortly to take of care of you while I'm gone" Lance says "Okay" but what they didn't notice were two purple eyes watching them from behind the bushes like a hunter watches its prey
