Me: I do not own the storm hawks. I think you've all earned a story that will make you cry. No you don't but this story will… or that's my goal.
Piper: shut up so they can read.
Me: Now on with the story.
The cold water ran down her bare back as she stood in the shower only to fall to her knees as her tears streamed down her face. The thud echoed through the condor. Aerrow looked around in wonder. He knew what it wasn't but wasn't sure what it was. It wasn't Finn, Radar, Stork, or Junko; they were all standing on the bridge with him.
Piper's tears continued to flow from her eyes as the sorrow finally kicked in. Her parents will had been sent to her along with the belongings that were left to her in their will. Her parents… were dead. Sure Piper and her mother always got into arguments and all but Piper loved her mom. The last thing she remembered saying to her mother over the phone before hanging up over the phone was I hate you. Now she couldn't say I'm sorry mom, I do love you.
Piper banged her fist on the wall of the shower and cried out in despair making Aerrow walk off toward the noise to find out what it was. Piper turned off the water and Got out of the shower pulling on her robe and kicking the wall.
"WHY?! WHY THEM?!" She yelled before falling to her knees smacking her head on the sink on the way down rendering her out cold. Aerrow ran toward Piper's room and toward the bathroom figuring out it was from Piper. He knocked on the door.
"Piper!" He called in alarm. He still didn't know her parents were dead. Hearing no sound her carefully opened the door to find Piper on the floor.
"PIPER!" He yelled running in and picking her up. Junko and Finn came into the bathroom to see Aerrow picking up the navigator.
"What happened?" Finn asked.
"I don't know. Her eyelashes are wet so it's clear she was just in the shower or crying. Or both. Her eyes are red." Aerrow told them as he pushed past them so he could set Piper down on her bed.
"Her hair is wet so she was in the shower." Finn told him. Aerrow notched a small bump on Piper's head as he set her down. He carefully ran his hand over the bump-making Piper take a sharp in take of breath which caused her to slightly stir. Her eyes fluttered open to See Aerrow staring at her, his eyes filled with worry for the orange-eyed girl. Tears started to sting her eyes yet again.
"I think she hit her head." Aerrow told the others. " Piper, What happened, and why are you starting to cry?"
"M-my parents… are... dead." She said weakly before starting to cry. Finn and Junko winced. They were present for the last phone conversation.
Flash back
"Honey, I found you another suitor." Her mother said. Piper rolled her eyes as she pretended to move her lips.
"Mom, I told you, I'm not going to get married yet and I don't want a guy you pick out, I want the guy I pick out." Piper told her mother.
"Honey, You can pick the guy you want if you leave the storm Hawks." Her mother told her.
"Mom, I've told once, I've told you a million times, I am not quitting." Piper told her mom.
"Honey, You need too. It's too dangerous out there battling cyclonians. My brother died that way. He was asking for it. If you come back and live with me and your father you will live a long healthy life." She told her daughter.
"I'm … not… quitting." Piper growled as Finn and Junko walked into the room.
"Honey, you will quit this instant!" Her mother demanded.
"NO!" Piper shrieked, making Finn jump.
"Piper who are you talking to?" Finn asked.
"My mother." Piper told him attempting to calm down.
"Piper if you don't quit I will disown you." Her mother told her.
"YOU DO THAT!" Piper yelled into the phone.
"PIPER MAIRE HART! (I know, sad name. It was the first thing I came up with) Don't dare you that tone with me. You will go to the red headed leader of your and tell him you quit! This instant!" Piper's mother commanded.
"NO!" Piper yelled making Aerrow jump on the bridge.
"Piper! I will disown you and then force you to come back." Her mother said, anger dripping into her voice.
"NO! MOM, I am not quitting! I hate you!" Piper slammed the phone down on the receiver and stomped out of the kitchen.
End flash back
" The last thing I said was I hate you, and now… I'll never get to tell her I'm sorry." Piper cried even harder. Aerrow Pulled Piper into a hug.
"Piper, when did you find out?" Aerrow asked brushing away a few tears.
"This… hic… morning." She managed to get out. Finn stared down at his feet remembering the hard time he gave her this morning about the tears that came to her eyes. He thought it was about his joke.
Flash back
"Hey Piper. Mail's here." He told her tossing her a card from her friend Sapphire and her twin Aria, and then handed her a box. She read the card from Aria and Sapphire and laughed at the sillyness of the two twins.
'Happy birthday Crystal lover,
you're a diamond in the sky much like a stare. Happy birthday.
Piper, we know it's not your birthday but we had to send you this card.
Love two of your best friends
Sapphire and Aria'
"Hey Piper, What's blue and black?" Finn asked as she opened the box and stared to read the letter.
" I don't know Finn. What?"
"Radar when I find him. He took my camera." He told her causing her to smile.
"He Piper, What's Black and ugly?"
"What?" Piper asked still looking at the letter.
"You. Just kidding." Tears sprung to her eyes.
'Dear miss Piper Hart,
It is our pleasure and displeasure to send you these items from your parents. This box includes your mother's engagement ring, your father's crystal journal, Your mothers Jewelry, your fathers coin collection and many other things including a copy of your parents will.

"Piper you are not seriously crying over my joke are you? " Piper hand covered her mouth is horror and sorrow.
"OMG." Piper whispered placing her hand over her mouth before she broke out crying. She slammed the box closed and ran o her room leaving the box there.

"I'll go get Piper some water and some ice." Finn said before walking out of the room. Junko followed him.
"Piper, You could have told me. Is that why you never showed up for lunch or Dinner?" Piper nodded. Aerrow wiped away a tear.
"Hey, look on the bright side, you still have us, the storm hawks." Aerrow told her making her smile.
"Thanks."
"And don't you scare me like that. I thought someone attacked you." Aerrow told her making her laugh.
"And manage to get on the ship without it blaring the alarms? No way. Stork would have a heart attack and die if that was possible." Piper told him smiling. Aerrow smiled.
"We're going to Terra Rex. Harrier and his sister want us there."
"Saphire? I wonder what she's up to?" Piper exclaimed looking thoughtful. Aerrow smiled. She looked pretty when she was thinking. ( So technically she's always pretty because she's always thinking and planning)
"Get some sleep Piper. We'll be arriving in the morning." Aerrow told her. Piper nodded. Finn walked in with an ice pack and some water. He put the water on the table and handed Piper the icepack. Piper put the icepack on the bump where she banged her head against the counter. Finn walked out of her room. Aerrow smiled.
"Good night Piper."
"Night." Piper changed into her nightgown and grabbed the teddy bear she hid in a box. IT was honey colors with an orange bow. Aerrow had given it to her when she broke her arms. She wrapped her arms around it and climbed into bed. She really needed some comfort and this teddy bear, helped her with that.
Me: done. And evil. I keep killing people, first harrier, then a little girl's Mother& father along with her Aunts and uncles, and now Piper's parents. Oh, and not to forget Aerrow's parents… o wait, I believe in the TV series they are dead so I didn't . Anyway, Thank's for reading.
