Author's Note: Okay, so I got no plot for this planned whatsoever. This will likely just end up being a series of snippets that I will write and post as ideas come to me. Hope you all enjoy my silliness.

Mini Lions

Pat pat.

There was a light touch to his cheek, but Lance swatted it away as he rolled to his side. He was having a good dream that he was back home sunbathing on the beach. Nothing was going to ruin it from him.

Pat pat

There was another tap to his cheek. Now Lance was getting annoyed, but he still tried to ignored it.

Pat pat.

Lance sighed as he pulled the blanket over his head. "Go away, Whiskers, ask Mom to feed you for once."

Another pat came, but this time it was on his forehead.

Lance sighed. Why? Why did Whiskers always insist Lance feed him in the morning?! He was his sister's cat for heaven's sake-

Wait...didn't Whiskers die like three years ago?

Lance's eyes slowly opened as his sleepy brain slowly confirmed that yes, Whiskers was indeed dead. Even if she wasn't, there was no way for her to be bugging him right now IN THE MIDDLE OF SPACE!

Fearfully, Lance slowly pulled back the blanket, not sure if he should be relieved or not of what he was going to find there. His eyes blinked.

Well, it was a cat. A blue robotic cat, that was sitting on his chest and looking up at him.

"Um…," Lance muttered and went stiff as the cat decided to nuzzle it's head under Lance's chin. "Okay, this is weird."

A familiar purr called to him from the back of his mind, and it was a familiar sound Lance had now become instinctive to since he took that faith ride in his Lion. Lance looked down at the tiny robot and tilted his head.

"Blue..is that you?" he asked.

The robot cat gave a purr that sounded identical to one he always heard in his head.

"Okay, it's you," Lance said as he stood up, "but how-"

Then it came to him in a bolt of lightning. "This is Pidge and Hunk's doing isn't it?" he asked.

"Meow," Blue replied with a nod.

Lance sighed as he stood up, flung on his robe and scoped Blue up into his arms. "And this is why I keep saying we can't leave those two alone together."

He stepped out into the hall at the exact same moment Shiro came out of his room, fully dressed and carrying a black robot cat in his arms.

Wordlessly, Lance and Shiro blinked at each other, and then their at their cats.

"So, you too?" Lance asked.

"Yeah," Shiro said as he scratched Black's chin. "Found her curled up against my side."

"Okay, then," Lance said as he turned his head down the hall. "Then do you think Keith-"

"ARRRGGHHH!" a yell came echoing down the hall.

Instantly, Shrio and Lance spirited towards Keith's room and slammed the button to open it.

"Keith! You alright?!" Shiro asked. Lance peered inside, and covered his mouth to keep from laughing.

Keith was on the floor tangled in his blankets as he was struggling to peel off a red robotic cat off his head. Once he finally succeeded, he gasped for air and then scowled at Red.

"What the hell is this thing?!" he snapped. "One minute I'm asleep, and the next thing I know I'm waking up suffocating because this is on my face!"

"It's your Lion, genius," Lance said as he held up Blue. "Don't know how, but betting Pidge and Hunk are behind this."

Keith glanced down at Red bewildered and the now tiny Red flicked her tail in reply. "If this really is Red," Keith asked with an arched eyebrow, "why would she wake me up by suffocating me then?!"

"You've never own a cat have you?" Lance answered dryly. "That's just what cats do."

"Morning, Paladins," Coran greeted as he approached them, "I hope you're all ready for a full morning of- WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE SEVEN CELESTIAL OF THE CRADTHAX JUNCTION ARE THOSE?!"

"Uh….," Shiro said as he lifted Black to his shoulder. "The Lions...well, mini versions of the Lions."

"GUYS!' Hunk's voice cried as he came racing to them. "Okay, this will be hard to explain, but the Lions are missing and-" He trailed off as Black reached a paw out to him and patted his cheek.

"Oh...nevermind, apparently they found you," Hunk replied and as Black proceeded to swat at Coran's mustache.

"Hunk, what is going on?" Keith asked.

"Well, I thought Pidge and I had all the Lions barred off in the kitchen, but when I went to check on them they were gone. Figured they broke out so-"

"He means why do we have tiny Lions?!" Lance asked as he held up Blue.

"Um…yeah, that is a bit of a longer explanation, which I will happily explain once I find Yellow-"

Hunk was cut off by a loud crash and a scream.

"HUNK!" Pidge called out. "Allura found Yellow!"

"Oooh boy," Hunk said with a moan. "So much for easing into it."

Lance would have said something in reply, but Blue butted her head for a pat to which Lance answered by patting her head.

Allura sighed as Coran set a cup of tea in front of her. "Feeling better, Princess?" he asked.

Allura gave a sigh. "I am fine, I was just startled." She narrowed her eyes over to Yellow who was currently content in Hunk's lap. "When I go to sit down, I was certainly not expecting to be finding a miniature version of the Yellow Lion already sitting there."

Yellow gave a yawn as she stretched out her claws and rolled to her back.

"Hey, watch the claws," Hunk warned. "I got this thing call skin you know."

"Okay, questions," Shiro asked as he raised a hand with Black sitting upright next to him. "What exactly did you guys do?"

"I'm hoping you two didn't use a shrink ray on the Lions," Coran replied sharply. "In this state, the most Voltron can do is attack Zarkon's ankles."

"The Lions are fine and in one piece," Pidge said as she dangled a thread for Green to play with. "And this all basically started because of a joke."

Hunk sighed as he shrugged. "Yeah, okay, see a few days ago I said 'hey, wouldn't it be fun if we could hang out with the Lions when it's not training or a life or death battle?' to which Pidge thought why couldn't we?"

"It's quite simple," Pidge explained as she held up Green. "We built these scale replicas of the Lions with quantum-entangled relays for-"

"In plain english please?" Keith asked as Red was playing with the sleeve of his coat.

Pidge huffed and sighed. "These are small robot Lions that the big Lions can control wirelessly. Are those small enough words?" She gave a grin as Green choose then to leap out of her hands and jump to the ground. "So, now they can interact with us from the safety of their own barriers."

Keith massaged his forehead. "Okay, I get how this works...kind of, but why exactly did you do this?"

"I must admit I also don't quite understand the purpose," Allura said.

"Well, bonding," Hunk said with a shrug. "We're suppose to build strong bonds with our Lions, right? So, what better way to do that then just hanging out with them in the castle-"

"You just wanted to be able to play with them," Lance replied.

Hunk snorted. "Well...yeah, like you didn't?" Hunk replied

"Oh, I'm not denying that," Lance said as Blue hoped to his shoulder. "I'm just stating the obvious."

Shiro laughed as he petted Black. "Well, guys, I got to admit this could actually be fun, and something we could use about now after all the stress we've been under lately."

"Hmmm...this isn't quite traditional," Coran muttered, "although, if it does strengthen your bond with them, it's not a bad idea."

"Yeah, although, there is one drawback I did think of," Pidge said as she turned to Allura. "Do you know where the space mice currently are?"

Allura frowned in confusion. "No, why?"

Before another word could be said, the space mice appeared as if on cue and climbed up the table. They made a beeline for the bowls of breakfast, but then they spotted the Lions. Each of them froze on the spot.

Each mouse gave a nervous squeaked as every single one of the Lions gazed upon the mice.

"Uh oh," Coran said.

"Okay," Shiro said slowly as he attempted to pick up Black. "Let's just calmly pick up the Lions and- NO! BLACK, COME BACK!"

"GREEN NOT YOU TOO!"

"YELLOW, RED AND BLUE GET BACK HERE!"

"RUN MICE! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

The mice squeaked in free as the leaped off the table and dash out of the room every single lion chasing after them.

"I was afraid of that," Pidge said, gloomily.

"The Lions...wouldn't actually try to eat them would they?" Shiro asked.

"No, no," Coran said as he shook his head, "well...at least I don't think so."

"You think?!" Allura asked, alarmed.

'Well, Princess, we've never dealt with the Lions like this before. I mean, for all we know they may wish to experiment and-"

"Nevermind, let's just find the Lions!" Shiro cried. "Come on team! Hunt down the Lions!"

Keith frowned. "Now those are words I never thought I'd hear you say."

"Yeah, yeah, come on," Pidge said as she shoved him forward. "Let's just go save the space mice."

Keith said nothing else as he chased after the others. This was turning into a weird day.
