Lance was dreaming he was at the castle of lions again in the dinning room with his teammates when “….Er” lance heard at the distance of the castle “…ger” was someone being call? “DAGGER!” Lance eyes snap open as he almost fell from the bed “Well about time c’mon Father brought you clothes and hurry or we’ll be late for breakfast and I’ll kill you if that happens” Pip says in a bossy tone Lance jumps out of the bed and start getting dress “Hurry hurry hurry hurry” Pip says “I’m going as fast as I can” lance whine trying to finish getting dress “well be faster!” Pip says “ok that’s good enough Let’s go!” That was the last thing Pip says before yanking lance out of their tent and running for the breakfast “GET OUT OF OUR BLOODY WAY!” Pip yells knocking everyone on the breakfast line out of the way “sorry, I’m so sorry, Ouch are you ok? Sorry!” Lance said apologizing to everyone while Pip yanked him, after they got their food and sit on the table Lance notice how much Pip was eating the pile of food was so big you could barely see him moving “This is so good I should’ve grab more!” Pip says eating while lance ate his bread eggs and bacon “where does all that food go?” Lance ask seeing how thin Pip was “eat your food or I’ll eat it” Pip warns with his mouth full and lance started eating when he looked up Pip was done with his food “ok I’m done let’s go practice time” Pip says and start leaving “a-already?” Lance ask and follow him finishing what he had left of his food “and what do you Train about I thought you were a mind reader” Lance ask.
“Well yeah but I’m also a juggler” Pip says “when your talent isn’t enough for a show you get to use other of your talents but don’t worry your knife throwing is amazing so you’ll be fine with that you still need to practice tho, you need to throw more than one knife at the same time” Pip says and grab the objects he juggles with “go” Pip says chuckling and lance goes to practice his throwing, when he looked around everyone was practicing way up high there were Oleg and Olya in the Trapeze, also freckles was walking around without a life line and doing tricks as if he was in the ground. Meanwhile down Puppet was making the animals do as she said without trouble or having to use her whip, the twins were making all kinds of acrobatics both on the floor and jumping in the air, Rusty lifted so much weight it was scary but he looked kind so lance didn’t have anything to fear, Blaze was another history she breathed fire and manage to make it take forms as it came out of her mouth with a huge grace that it was almost imposible take his eyes out of her act, Kyoto did all kind of funny things without stoping looking good and Pip was juggling all kind of objects from balls to sharp knifes to…was that a turtle?, Lance shook his head and focused on what he was suppose to be doing, he start throwing knifes, there was a dummy he had to hit around because he was in a circus he didn’t need to kill anyone here, hitting around the figure he tried to throw two knifes at the same time the first one hit in the spot but the second one didn’t even reach the target “Hey that was a good try Dagger!” Lance heard Freckles say from up high “I missed!” Lance says confuse, Allura would’ve told him to do it again and fix his failure “but you almost didn’t it’s your first time training we don’t expect perfection do you think I manage to walk the whole tightrope without a life line in my first training? No! I even needed the net under me so I wouldn’t die keep practicing!” Was what Freckles said.
Various days later the routine was settle wake up eat breakfast, train, rest, train a little more, eat lunch, again training, free time, to the showers, then bed aka talk with Pip until they both fell asleep, Lance read his diary and notice he stoped writing at day 153 “Hey Pip” lance call “yeah Dagger?” Pip answer “when I came here how long was I out?” Lance ask “like a week you slept as if Rusty hit you with a frying pan” Pip says “why?” He ask “just counting how long I’ve been in the circus” lance says “four weeks and two days” Pip reply “you count?” Lance ask “yeah I tent to do that with the new guys once you reach a year I’ll stop counting” Pip says, Lance start counting ‘153 days I was in the city plus four weeks and two days that I was out but that count how much I’ve been here so that’ll be 183 which came to be 6 months so I’ve been in the circus for a month’ lance start thinking “The math in your head is giving me a headache stop!” Pip chuckles “then don’t listen!” Lance said “but I’m curious!!” Pip whine “then deal with it” lance chuckle and it suddenly turned into Pip and Lance laughing and arguing about how math was boring “CAN YOU TWO STOP FLIRTING AND GO TO SLEEP ALREADY!” A shout from tent 19 went on “WE’RE NOT FLIRTING SMILE!” Pip yell back “I’M HAPPY!” Happy yell “JUST GO TO SLEEP YOU THREE!” Freckles yell from tent 14 “I HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING!” Lance yell “SHUT IT DAGGER YOU AND PIP START IT” Blaze yell and lance start laughing then so did everyone.
Two months later Lance was taking deep breaths he’s been living in the circus for three months already he trusted them so he decide he was going to tell them how he end up in that planet and why, Lance walked to the circus tent where everyone was practicing and called everyone to tell them, once he got everyone’s attention he start telling how he wasn’t from that planet at that he was a paladin of Voltron but his friends abandon him in the planet “we knew there was live out there Dagger but our planet has nothing to take or slave we’re save in that department” Freckles says “and your teammates can go fuck themselves it was not alright at all leave you like that and take your ship and weapon?! Motherfuckers!” Blaze said “you’re with us now Dagger and we’re never gonna leave you” Puppet says “yeah circus people stay together!” Happy said and Olya walked to lance and hug him “you’re part of our family now” she says in a low tone only lance heard her, Pip chuckle and everyone looked at him “honestly their lost, Dagger is amazing and a really funny guy I’m surprise they were that stupid to abandon you but well some creatures are just naturally dumb” Pip says “Circus hug!” Rusty says and everyone hug lance “I can’t….breath” lance says “you don’t need oxygen you need friendship!” Smile says in a decide tone making everyone laugh “enough emotions people is training time c’mon go go go!” Freckles says lance got way better at knife throwing he could throw four knifes at the same time and get them to hit different places but sometimes he wondered what was voltron doing how we’re they doing without him? Were they ok? Did they got a new blue Paladin? Lance shook his head it wasn’t his business he wasn’t Lance the Paladin of the blue lion anymore he was Dagger the knife thrower of the Ring circus that was who he was now Voltron and its Paladins were not his problem…not anymore.
Pip sneak out of their tent while everyone was being extra quiet so they wouldn’t wake Lance up “is it ready?” Pip asked Boris “all done” Boris reply “ok let’s go everyone is in position” Pip said, Boris nodded and follow Pip to his tent where lance was still sleeping and everyone was waiting for them once Father arrive he whisper “3…2…1” then everyone yell “HAPPY FIRST CIRCUS YEAR DAGGER!” Waking lance up “ahhhh!!!” Lance scream falling from the bed and getting catch by Rusty then place carefully down in the floor “what the hell?” Lance ask “this is your first year as our circus brother Dagger!” Oleg said “one year? Woah I’ve been here one whole year” lance says chuckling “Yeah! So to celebrate this I’ve decided I decided to spoil you today by cooking you a magnificent cake I mean what could be better than that” Boris says everyone sigh but Lance chuckle and smile “Thanks Boris I really appreciated” lance says and Boris smile at him “No problem Dagger Happy one circus year” Boris says “Enough! What are we waiting for let’s celebrate!” Freckles says “That’s right Happy one circus year Dagger” Father says lance shot him a smile “Thanks Father” lance said “Now go” Father said and all of them left but not before lance gave Father a hug then move to go with his circus brothers and sisters.
That day lance laughed and they didn’t have to practice but they did it anyway “It’s an Habit ok!” Lance defended when Pip caught him practicing his throwing and blow out laughing after he said that “you’re seriously the best Dagger” Pip said ‘Dagger’ the name They gave him in his new home Lance still remembered his name obviously but if he was honest Dagger fitted him better so when he presented himself to someone he presenter himself as Dagger because that was who he was, Dagger knife thrower of the ring circus, at night they all were laughing and the little ones were dancing “Thank you guys for everything if it wasn’t because of you I wouldn’t be here right now I probably would be death” Lance said Oleg chuckled and hit his arms “we would’ve found you anyway Father likes to help persons, he would’ve found you” Oleg says and Olya nodded “Besides you’re not hard to spot” Blaze said with a smug smile making lance groan “Begone demon!” Lance says with a dramatic move making everyone laugh then he felt a touch in the back of his neck then he slap his neck and turn around to find Pip with his hand extend, he blushed a little and said “your ummm your hair is growing longer” Pip said “really?” Lance ask blushing a little bit when he thought Pip looked cute and the atmosphere turned awkward until “OHHHHHHH!” The twins started “PIP AND DAGGER SITTING ON A TREE K-I-S-S-I-N-G” Pip chokes with air “s-shut up!” Pip says and then everyone start singing “PIP AND DAGGER SITTING ON A TREE K-I-S-S-I-N-G” Pip groan “I was ONLY checking how long his HAIR grew since we first saw him” Pip said in an embarrassed tone lance looked down and start shaking “Dagger?” Puppet ask until lance blew up laughing “you look so cute Pip I can’t even” Lance said with a smile.
