Athea ran her hands long the wall of the cave, her hands collecting the mist and small pebbles. It was a well lit cave, glowing with a stream of sun, but a few shadows still lay in the corners.

As she made her way farther into the cave, it was empty, but Athea's imagination began running, thinking of all the anonumus things she could keep in this secret space.

Athea continued running her fingers along the wall, her fingers touched delicate carvings, and she traced them with the point of her index finger.

Once looking closer, Athea realized it was a carving of one of the lions of Voltron.

Athea felt her mouth stretch into a grin.

Stepping back, Athea set her hands on her hips, and slowing walked in a circle, examining the space.

Athea nodded to herself, then raced out of the cave, haphazardly leaping from stone to stone like a bullet, then sprinted back to the castle of lions.

Once accidently running into a wall, she made it to her room, almost running into Allura as well in the process.

Athea dug through her room, selecting items and throwing them into a pile.

Allura causiously stepped in her room, peeking in.

"Athea? What are you doing?"

Athea continued ruffling through her things, the pile becoming slightly larger.

"Looking for stuff to put in my new secret hide out."

Allura cocked an eyebrow in confusion.

"I'm going to leave this us to your Father to deal with." Allura muttered to herself as she slowly disappeared down the hallway.

Once sifting through all her things, she stood, placed her hands on her hips in triumph.

Sauntering down the hall, she arrived at the bridge, and turned on the control board.

Once searching the buttons, she pressed a small white button, and a tiny silver gadget popped out.

Taking it, Athea hurried down the hall, quickly arriving back at her room.

Flipping over the gadget, she pressed a sequence of buttons to turn the gadget on.

In the process, Lance walked by her room, his hands swinging by is side.

He stopped and leaned against her door frame, folding his arms, a smirk on his face.

"Hey Blue, your mom explained to me about the 'Great Sifting' going on in here. Need some help?"

Athea growled in frustration when the gadget refused the combination of numbers.

Lance walked deeper into her room, now tucking his hands in his pockets.

Athea aggressively began stabbing the buttons with her fingers in frustration, before handing the gadget over to Lance.

Lance gingerly typed in the first four numbered code.

11-15-16-18

The gadget clicked, and revealed the second bar for another code.

3-18-25-19

Clicking again, it was ready for the third code.

5-20-21-19

After accepting the third code, Lance typed in the fourth, and last, collection on numbers.

6-23-24-21

The gadget clicked and opened, Lance dropped it to the floor, and watched as a small teledov rose out of it.

"Woah, Dad, what were those codes?"

Lance smirked,

"I don't have to say anything."

Athea felt her face droop in annoyance. Then she got an idea, and her face spread into a smug smile.

"Has anyone told you how amazing your hair looks today, Dad?"

Athea's smile grew wider as Lance's mouth twitched, fighting back a laugh.

"C'mon! I'm your favorite child!" Athea pleaded.

"Your my only child. Which is good, because me and your mother wouldn't be able to handle another one of you."

Athea smiled and gave Lance her finger guns.

Lance just sighed and chuckled.

"I hate how you do that."

Athea folded her arms.

"Hey, it's not my fault. I get it from you."

Lance laughed.

"Well then, the first combination was the day your mother was found."

Athea nodded, fighting back the urge to turn away. She had been told how hard it was for him, living on, knowing his love had died. So, it wasn't brought up very often.

"The second combination is the day I asked your mother to marry me, and the third is the day we got married."

Athea smiled. She enjoyed flipping through the holographic photo album, and see the pictures from that day.

"And the fourth is day your mom and I realized our lives would never be the same. It was the day you were born."

Athea smiled again, walking over and placing her hands on the teledov.

"I guess I will need to memorize those. I defidently got the fourth one down."

Lance smiled.

"What are you doing in here anyway?"

"I'm trying to teleport stuff into one of the caves I found that is now my secret hide out, and so I need stuff to make it more home-y." Athea didn't even turn around as she explained.

Lance just stood dumb founded, and watched as Athea created a small portal, and shoved the pile on her floor through.

Lance turned around and slowly walked out of the room.

"Just don't cause too much trouble!" Lance shouted as he went down the hall.

"No... Promises!" Athea shouted back, having trouble shoving the bigger things through the portal.

Once everything she wanted had been shoved through, Athea stood, her hands on her hips praising herself.

Collapsing the small teledov, Athea placed it back inside the control board, then quickly jogged outside, then sped up when reaching the forest.

Once reaching her tucked away cave, she found her pile of things inside, she mentally praised herself for her cleverness.

Athea began sifting through her things, and began setting them up.

Athea found to her liking shelf like creveasas etched in the cave, and set all her little things their, including her old, stuffed blue lion toy.

Once finding everything was in place, she grabbed a paper photo from her pocket.

It was a picture of her, Lance and Allura, who were all playing at the beach on Earth.

" Secret Hide out. I can't wait until Kuro gets back."
