The next week passed quickly for Hunk and Twyla. They planned out a few things but for the most part let Keith and Allura do it, they had more experience and wanted to help out.

"Well, are you ready?"

"Not for this, I'm not. I don't know what Princess Allura is like out of uniform to know what kind of part she has planned."

"I know Keith but he's not really a heavy duty party animal but I have a funny feeling that Lance had a hand in the planning."

"Does he know how to plan parties?"

"Oh yeah." Hunk gave her a wink.

"Oh really?" twyla arched an eyebrow.

"No hun, don't worry. I won't get into any trouble."

"You had better not."

Hunk chuckled lightly as he gave her a kiss and a qucik pat on the butt.

"You go to your party and I will go to mine, thankfully we don't have the wedding tomorrow."

"That way we get to sleep in." She giggled as she headed to the Royal Gardens where Allura had planned her shower.

Twyla walked into the Royal Gardens. It was a warm night so she dressed lightly in a miniskirt and a spegetti strapped top. The other few guests that Allura had invited, including Princess Romelle of Pollux, were similarly dressed.

Allura came over and brought her into the small group of about ten.

"I didn't think you were going to come."

"I couldn't dissappoint you, Princess Allura, after all you've done and have been so kind to give this party for me."

"I hope you like it. I have something special planned for you later on."

"Oh?" Twyla was intregued.

The evening went well for Twyla. They played a few games then Twyla opened her gifts. She blushed over a few of the more intimate items she recieved but she thanked everyone in return and promised she would use everyone.

They had a light lunch then Allura unveiled a huge cake in a very interesting shape. Twyla blushed fiercely. Everyone laughed a Twyla blew out the candles. It was hysteria as Twyla cut the cake and handed the pieces around.

"Now for your surprise." After Allura had gotten everyone seated, she clapped her hands twice. Dance music seemed to float out through the air from nowhere.

Twyla jumped when she felt hands on her shoulder. she turned to see LAnce standing there behind her. He was dressed in his leather jacket but it was zipped all the way up to his neck.

"Enjoy." He whispered in her ear. he then proceeded to give her a strip show that she would never forget.

As Hunk entered Keith's room they all started to congradulate him, shaking his hand and clapping him on the back.

"So, how do you feel?"

"Excited, afraid. I don't know. A lot of things are going on inside my head."

Keith clapped him hard on the back.

"That's to be expected."

"Yeah, ya big lug, what were you expecting? A walk in the park?" Lance chuckled. "Now, let's get you drunk."

The way that Hunk was feeling, it didn't take him long to get drunk. He hadn't had much to eat and he always got drunker faster when his stomach was empty.

He had planned to keep a level head through out the party but the hell with it. He barely noticed when Lance congradulated him again then excused himself and left.

He barely noticed the snacks but was later told by Pidge that he had eaten his fair share. He could feel himself being sat down and vaguly remembered dancing girls surrounding him.

He passed out with happy thoughts in his head and a belly full of beer and snacks. He hoped Twyla was having just as much fun.

When Twyla woke in the morning,she felt good. The night had been perfect, even the bit with Lance. He had only gone as far as his underwear but that had been fine by her. It was still a good show and she had a good imagination.

She got up and showered quickly. As she got dressed her thoughts turned to Hunk. She had to find him to see if he had a good time too. She met up with him outside his room. She immediately attached herself to him.

"So, how was your evening?"

"Well, it was pretty good from what I can remember of it."

"Got yourself drunk, did you?" A small smile passed over Twyla's lips.

"Yeah, just a little. How about you?"

"Didn't get drunk but had a wonderful time. Your friend Lance really knows how to put on a show."

"Oh?"

"Don't you remember when he left your party to come to mine?"

"No, I don't think I do."

"Silly. But I enjoyed it, really. Princess Allura really knows how to put on a party."

"So does Keith."

They hugged and kissed for a few seconds.

"I can't wait until tomorrow."

"Yeah, by this time tomorrow we'll be husband and wife."

"But you know what I want to do?"

"What?"

"Spend all day with you and nobody else. Allura has assured me that between her and Keith everything is all taken care of."

"Yeah, everything is in your hands and I want you in mine."

It seemed like such a sort day for Hunk and Twyla eventhough they wanted it to be long. They spent most of the day in the woods on a picnic. They relaxed and talked. It was peaceful.

When it started to get dark they decided to pack up and head back to the castle. They crawled into bed with Keith and Allura's assurances that everything would go all right the next day. There would be no hitches whatsoever.
