As you walked in the corridor I ran/walked passed Pidge's room. Pidge was staring at a photo of her brother. Pidge was on her desk sighing. Pidge stared at the photo for a few more seconds then turned away from the photo and worked on something else ignoring the photo as if it weren't there. You pulled a look of concern wondering if you should intervene or not. Pidge seemed to be doing well, but I was worried about the fact that she was in denial about herself.

You had a family too and you missed them knowing that you couldn't go back to say that you were alive and well. But knowing your family was in danger and was captured by Galras was nerve wrecking. You took a deep breath in and walked into Pidge's room.

"Whatcha doing?" I asked with a smile.

"Fixing Rover," Pidge smiled. For a moment I was surprised about her genuine her voice felt. She didn't sound like she'd been hurting or anything.

"Wow!" You exclaimed.

"How'd you manage to get Rover back?" I asked, bending over to get a better view of her desk.

"Turns out that Rover managed to fall on a safe part of the hole where he and the other Galra fell" Pidge answered.

"Did Rover get damaged after the fall?" I asked.

"A little, but the major problem is his power core. After trying to fly with a Galra holding onto him his circuits were fried" Pidge answered. "

Oh ok," You replied.

You watched for a few more seconds as Pidge worked on Rover with complete concentration. "Well, I'll get going now," I said, excusing myself. It seemed that Pidge didn't need any help, she was just going through a small period of homesickness. I walked out the door and closed the door behind me.

What I didn't know is that after I walked out, Pidge started to tear up. When the door closed behind me Pidge pulled out the photo of her brother and her standing next to each other. A tear dripped onto the photo and more started to rain down on the photo. Slowly Pidge started to weep. And sadly no one saw her hurting.


Sorry if you're grabbing for boxes of tissues or just hurting inside. I felt like this one-shot was more of a message reminding people that you can't read people's minds until it's too late. Tomorrow or today try to make someone's day by being nice to them and be there with them. Even the smallest act of kindness can turn a person's frown upside down. Make someone else's day by being there for them and not walking away thinking, "They'll be all right."

Cheerio! <3
