INT. ALTEAN CASTLE - DAY

PIDGE, Y/N, KEITH, LANCE, HUNK, SHIRO, ALLURA, and CORAN are seated around the table (in that order). Y/N smirks and PIDGE raises an eyebrow.

Y/N
Did you know that caterpillars have to turn to into mush before they reform as butterflies?

PIDGE
Of cour-

LANCE
Really?! So, like... they turn into butterfly soup?

Y/N
Yeah...

Y/N smiles.

Y/N
Butterfly soup.

HUNK puts his spoon down.

HUNK
But nobody... eats butterfly soup, right?

Y/N
W-What? Of course not!

PIDGE
Even if the taste was appealing or if it had nutritional properties, butterfly soup would be hard to collect because of the size of the chrysalises.

Y/N
Also, due to the short period when the butterflies are actually in the chrysalises, the time for butterfly soup consumption would be limited.

LANCE
Yeah, I don't think anyone's eating butterfly soup, buddy.

HUNK
That's good.

The screen changes to show Y/N and KEITH fighting in the training room. PIDGE is sitting on the side, fiddling with her laptop. Y/N is attacking with her sword while KEITH is on defense.

Y/N
Hey, Pidge!

PIDGE continues working.

PIDGE
Yeah?

Y/N
Did you know that a group of dogs is called a cowardice?

PIDGE
No, but dogs are not cowards! ...Or, my dog isn't a coward, at least.

PIDGE looks up and puts a hand to her chin.

PIDGE
Hey, did you know that pearls are made around organic matter stuck in oysters? So basically... pieces of chewy seafood.

Y/N
Wow. That is both gross and fascinating.

KEITH nods in agreement.

Y/N
This isn't a competition, so much as an exchange of knowledge.

PIDGE
How poetic.

The screen changes with a wipe transition from the right side. LANCE, PIDGE, Y/N, and KEITH are sitting at the table. Y/N leans over and whispers something in PIDGE's ear. PIDGE starts laughing hysterically.

LANCE
What?

PIDGE
N-Nothing.

Y/N laughs.

Y/N
Yeah, it's just science.

KEITH leans toward LANCE and whispers.

KEITH
I don't think you want to know.

PIDGE snickers.

PIDGE
Yeah, you probably don't want to know.

Y/N
This episode is really random.

PIDGE
Yeah, maybe we should cut.

PIDGE stares directly at the camera like she's in "The Office."

PIDGE

Come back later to see more stuff that is hopefully not a disaster!

**where did my muse run off to**
