"Love Will Find A Way"Allura was enjoying hanging off of Keith's arm. He was escorting her down to her father's tomb. They were on their way to see her father to ask for his permission for Keith to marry her. They knew he approved of him as the leader of Voltron, the champion of the people, and the protector of his daughter, but now, they wished to add Allura's husband to that list.Allura could see the Keith was slightly nervous about seeing her father, so she started softly singing.
"In a perfect world
One we've never known
We would never need to face the world alone
They can have their world
We'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere in my secret heart
I know
Love will find a way
Anywhere I go
I'm home
If you are there beside me
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way."Keith smiled, realizing what Allura was doing.
"I was so afraid
Now I realize
Love is never wrong
And so it never dies
There's a perfect world
Shining in your eyes."Allura snuggled as the both of them continued on their trek and the song.
"And if only they could feel it too
The happiness I feel with you
They'd know
Love will find a way
Anywhere we go
We're home
If we are there together
Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I found you
Love will find a way."They stopped singing at the door to Alfor's tomb before pushing the door open and approaching the coffin. They fell to their knees in respect for the departed monarch. Allura was the one that spoke. "Father, we seek an audience with you."There was only a moment of silence before the couple heard Alfor's voice a few seconds before they saw his ghost. "My beloved daughter and her...intended." The surprise on Allura's and Keith's faces was obvious to Alfor. "I could tell your feelings for each other.""They were that obvious, Father?""To all whom were open to see them."The comment reminded the couple that Nanny was oblivious to their love, pushing the princess to dance with all available princes and nobles from allied planets during the galas hosted at the Arusian castle."And you are not opposed to our potential union, your majesty?" Keith asked.Alfor smiled warmly at the question. "Not at all, young man. You are well suited to protect my daughter from all threats and what better place to do that from than by her side.""Thank you for your permission, sir.""No, thank you, Keith. You and your team stepped up to protect the planet and the crown when we were complete strangers to you.""There was no way we could stand by and watched as people suffered.""You have proved your good heart many times over and that is one of the reasons I know you'd take care of another's heart. I will speak to anyone who expresses dislike for your union.""Thank you, Father. I'll speak with you soon.""Farewell, my daughter." King Alfor's ghost faded from view.Allura and Keith stood up, Keith offering his arm to the princess again. Allura wrapped her arms around his, and they walked out of the crypt, closing the doors behind them.Almost as if they could read the other's mind, they started singing, picking up where they left off with the previous song in unison. "I know."Keith sang, "Love will find a way.""Anywhere we go," they chorused.Allura interjected, "I'm home!""I'm home!" Keith echoed."Right here!" Allura added.Both finished the song.
"Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way
I know love will find a way
I know
Love will find a way."Allura was happy that her father had given his permission for her and Keith to marry. As long as he was by her side, she knew she would have the strength to stand up against anyone.Fin
