Aerrow's Dream:
"Aerrow come on!" shouted a 6 year old Finn. 6 year old Aerrow waved his hand in the air smiling.
"I'm coming guys wait up!" he shouted back to them running up the hill to the three other kids.
"Well we wouldn't have to if you were so slow!" 6 year old Piper said smiling, when Aerrow caught up to them. Aerrow looked at his friends and frowned.
"What do you mean slow?" he said, still frowning. The other kids started laughing, then Aerrow too started laughing along with them. When they clamed down Aerrow noticed a girl standing next to Piper. Aerrow kinda cocked his head to the side and the girl, smiling, did the same.
"Who's she?" Aerrow asked looking at Piper. Piper smiled at Aerrow.
"Her name's Aurora," she said looking at the girl. The girl smiled back at him and waved. Aerrow smiled and waved back. Aurora had chin length brown hair and the strangest color eyes. Aerrow couldn't figure out what color they were.
"What color are your eyes?" Aerrow asked. Aurora blinked a couple of times, then started giggling. Aerrow frowned and put his hands of his hips.
"What's so funny?" he asked frowning. Aurora looked up at him and smiled.
"That's a weird question to ask somebody you just met," she simply stated, still smiling. "But to answer your question, they're honey colored." Aerrow looked again, and saw she was right, they were a honey colored. Piper sighed, and shook her head.
"Boys," she muttered. Aerrow and Finn glared at Piper. Aurora started giggling again. Aerrow sighed and shook his head.
"I thought we were going to play hide and seek," he said, looking at everyone. Everyone grinned and nodded.
"Not it!" cried Piper.
"Not it!" cried Aerrow.
"Not it!" cried Aurora.
"Oh man!" sighed Finn. "I guess I'm it." Everyone ran off to hide as Finn counted to 20.
Back in the Present: (11 years later)
"Aerrow! Wake up!" shouted Piper through his door. Aerrow groaned and rolled over looking at his clock, the neon green lights saying 7:45 AM. Dammit Piper! , he thought. Piper started beating on the door."Aerrow get up!" Piper shouted again. Aerrow sat on the edge of his bed, and ran a hand through his flaming red hair. Piper beat the door again. Groaning and rolling his green eyes, he got up and opened the door. Piper glared up at him, in the doorway. Aerrow yawned and rubbed his eyes, looking down at her. She was in her normal day wear, her blue and yellow uniform, and her amber eyes glaring up at him.
"What's wrong?" Aerrow yawned. Piper started tapping her foot, narrowing her eyes at him. Aerrow looked at her confused. What did I do this time?, he thought, sighing.
"Stork has been calling you to come to the bridge!" she snapped at him. "He says it's important!" Aerrow sighed and went back into his room and grabbed his shirt and pulled it over his head. Radarr yawned from his little bed and looked around to see what was going on. When he saw it was just Piper and Aerrow he simply laid back down and went back to sleep. Aerrow walked out of his room and started down the hallway of the Condor, with Piper close behind him. Finally, almost awake, he walked onto the bridge.
"What's wrong Stork?" Aerrow asked walking into the room, Piper walking behind him. Stork turned toward him, with his eye twitching like always.
"We've got an object following us from a safe distance," he said handing Aerrow the scope. Aerrow looked around and saw a small dot that was flying behind the Condor, from what he could tell it looked like a skimmer. He looked over at Piper, who was looking through the other scope. She looked up at him and frowned slightly .
"They're probably waiting for day light to do something," she said, still frowning. "Do you want me to wake Finn and Junko?" Aerrow shook his head.
"No," he said, looking through the scope again. "I want them to be rested and ready when and if this person attacks." Piper and Stork looked confused.
"What do you mean 'if'?" Piper asked raising an eyebrow. Stork started muttering things about 'certain doom' and 'hoping it was quick and painless'.
"I don't know if it's just one that's stupid enough to attack us," Aerrow said looking at Piper. "Or they're following us till help arrives." Piper frowned again and looked around the bridge. She looked up at Aerrow and tugged his sleeve.
"I need to talk to you," she whispered to him. He looked at her then at Stork, then back at Piper and nodded.
"Stork, let me know if anything changes," Aerrow said walking out of the room with Piper behind him. Stork nodded to him then turned back to the steering and muttered more about 'certain doom'. In the hallway Aerrow turned to Piper and put a hand on his hip.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" he asked looking at her. Piper looked around and then looked back up at him.
"Have you had any dreams about our childhood?" she whispered. Aerrow cocked an eyebrow at her.
"Yeah," he answered slowly.
"Have they been about Aurora?" she asked him. Aerrow frowned a bit.
"Yeah," he said again. Piper looked around Aerrow as Finn came around the corner rubbing his eyes.
"You guys will never believe the dream I just had," he said yawning. "It was when we were kids and Aurora was there and she was showing us her powers." Aerrow and Piper's eyes widened. Finn stopped and looked at them both, confused.
"What?" he said, looking back and forth between the two. "Was it something I said?" Aerrow looked at Piper and Piper did the same.
"This can not be just a freak thing," she said looking at Aerrow. "What was your dream about, Aerrow?"
"Mine was the first time we all played together," he said. "What was yours Piper?"
"Mine was when she left to go to the Sky Knight Academy after you left," she said frowning.
"That's kinda creepy," Finn said. Aerrow nodded.
"You're right Finn," Aerrow said. "That is creepy."
"Aerrow! You might want to get back in here!" came Stork's voice from the bridge. Aerrow looked at the others then ran back into the bridge, Finn and Piper at his heels.
"What's wrong Stork?" Aerrow asked coming up behind the Merb. Stork turned around his eye twitching again.
"That person just asked if they could talk to either you, Piper, or Finn," he said shaking. "They asked you by name!" Aerrow cocked an eyebrow. Asked for us by name?, he thought. Aerrow took the radio from Stork.
"This is Aerrow," he said into the speaker. "Who is this, and why are you following us?" He waited for a few seconds then static came over the radio then a voice spoke.
"Jeez!" the voice sighed. "You've always asked too many questions Aerrow! Is Piper and Finn with you?" the voice sounded excited. Aerrow looked around at Piper and Finn who nodded at him.
"Yes they're here with me," he said to the speaker. "You still haven't answered my questions though!"
"Oh! Sorry!" the voice said. "I'll answer one for you! I'm following you because I wanted to know if this was the real Condor or not! I wanted to be sure before I asked to come on board!" Aerrow looked at Piper and mouthed 'come on board?', Piper shrugged.
"You want to come on board?" he asked the voice.
"Of course!" squealed the voice. "Can I come on board? Then I'll let you guess who I am! Okay?"
"How do I know this isn't a trap?" Aerrow asked, concerned about his team and the ship.
"It's not a trap Aerrow!" the voice said. "Jeez, you're so up tight! I swear on my life that I won't hurt you, Piper, Finn, Radarr, the rest of your team or the Condor." Aerrow looked at Piper and Finn then turned back to the speaker.
"Alright you can come on board," he said reluctantly.
"Sweet!" the voice shouted. "See ya in a few!" The line went dead, and Aerrow put the radio down. He ran his hand through his hair and nodded to Stork. Stork nodded back then pulled the lever to open the hanger doors. They watched the pilot, fly around to the front of the Condor and land their silver, blue and black skimmer. Aerrow noted that they had no shield to say whose squad they were on. Piper, Finn, and Aerrow went into the hallway and started down to the hanger. Radarr came running down the hallway, hearing the hanger doors open, and crawled up to sit on Aerrow's shoulder. When they got to the hanger, the rider was just getting down from their skimmer. The person was about Piper's height and size, so he guessed the person was a girl. She was wearing a short sleeve shirt like Piper's but she had fish net sleeves running from her shirt sleeves to her wrists. Her outfit was colored like her skimmer, it was patched like Piper's in different shades of silver, blue, and black. Her pants were the same, patched but in just shades silver and black, and stopped at the upper part of her calf, showing a little of her legs, then her boots came to about the lower part of her calf and they were black with silver on the bottom of them. The rider stretched and stood grinning at them, she had a helmet and goggles on so they really couldn't she her hair or eyes. They three friends came up to the rider and stopped.
"Boy you guys haven't changed much!" the rider said smiling. Aerrow looked at Piper then at Finn, who shrugged at him. Do we know her?, Aerrow thought. Radarr looked closely at the rider, then squeaked and jumped from Aerrow to the rider and sat on her shoulder and rubbed his face on hers. The rider giggled and scratched Radarr's ear.
"Hello to you too Radarr!" she said smiling still. Radarr looked at Aerrow and pointed to the rider happily, like he knew her. Aerrow was shocked, and confused. Radarr never left his shoulder to jump to someone else unless it was one of the Storm Hawks or someone he knew them.
"Who are you?" Finn asked, breaking Aerrow out of his thoughts.
"I hope you know me guys!" the rider said smiling. Then she frowned, seeing the confused faces of the three.
"Oh! My helmet!" she said taking her helmet off and sitting it on her skimmer. She had two chin length side bangs around her face, and the back of her hair was short and spiky. She smiled at them.
"Can you guess now?" she asked smiling. The three looked at each other.
"It would help if you took your goggles off," Piper said. The rider frowned.
"But if I do that, then it would give me away!" she whined. The three looked at the girl strange.
"Have I really been gone so long that you've forgotten me?" the rider looked hurt. The three friends looked nervously between themselves. The rider sighed.
"Then I guess I'll have to show you something before I take off my goggles," she said turning toward the hanger door. The wind suddenly picked up and started swirling around the rider. She raised her hand and moved it in front of her. The Condor suddenly hit something and stopped. Stork's panicking voice came over the speakers.
"We've hit something that looks like a barrier of wind! We're DOOMED!!!" he shouted. Then it clicked in Aerrow's head. He looked at Piper who had the same look as him, then at Finn who had his mouth open. The rider turned around and grinned.
"Now do you remember me?" she asked slyly.
"AURORA?!" the three asked at the same time.
The rider's grin got bigger, as she reached up to take her goggles off. Honey colored eyes met green, amber, and blue.
"The one and only!" Aurora smirked. Piper squealed and ran to Aurora hugging her. The two girls were laughing and Radarr jumped onto Aurora's skimmer.
"Oh my God!" Piper squealed. "Where have you been?" Aurora's smile fell and she got real quiet. Piper put a hand on Aurora's shoulder.
"Aurora?" Piper asked. Aurora looked up still frowning, then took a deep breath.
"I've been all over Atmos trying to find you guys!" she said, her eyes tearing up. "After I was Knighted like Aerrow I traveled for maybe 3 years, then I went back home and you guys were gone! I asked everybody where you were and they laughed and said that you were going to become the new Storm Hawks. So I've been trying to find you guys! I've been captured by Cyclonians, dueled with the Dark Ace, laughed in Master Cyclonis' face, and to top it off, the Cyclonians are searching for me because of my wind controlling powers!" Everyone had backed away a little during her speech, but they put on serious faces when they heard about Aurora being chased by Master Cyclonis and her army. Aerrow frowned and looked at Finn who nodded.
"Then you're staying here with us!" Aerrow said smiling a little. Aurora blinked, then started laughing. The three looked confused again.
"She hasn't changed much," Finn whispered to Aerrow. Aerrow nodded. Aurora looked at them wiping a tear from her eye.
"You're funny Aerrow!" Aurora said smiling. "I didn't come here for protection, I came here to see my friends again before Cyclonis catches me." Everyone's eyes widened.
"What do you mean?" Piper asked. Aurora frowned.
"I mean that Cyclonis will eventually catch me and I want to be alone when that happens," Aurora stated. Aerrow and Finn frowned and looked at each other.
"Did you think that after you told us all that," Finn said, folding his arms over his chest. "That we would let you leave?" Aurora frowned and looked to Piper as if asking for help. Piper shook her head.
"I'm with Finn Aurora," Piper said walking up to Aurora and placing her hand on Aurora's shoulder. "Now that we know what's going on we can't just let you leave."
"But…," Aurora started. Aerrow shook his head and walked toward her.
"You are going to stay here," he said looking at Aurora. "We will protect you if we have to." Aurora backed up and glared at them all.
"I'm not the little weak one anymore!" she snapped. "I'm not sickly like I used to be!" Piper frowned. She remembered Aurora being sick nearly all the time when they were little. If Aurora got too hot she would start coughing, and sometimes she would cough blood up. Then on other days she would grab her chest and double over in pain, and she would get a fever for no reason. Her friends knew that she was sick and Piper guessed that Aurora thought they wanted to protect her because of that. Piper stepped toward Aurora.
"We're not saying we'll protect because you were sick," Piper said frowning. "We want to protect you because you're our friend!" Aurora looked defeated.
"I don't want you getting hurt because of me," she whispered. Piper hugged her.
"We know what we're doing," Piper said smiling. Aurora smiled and hugged Piper back. Piper let her go and Aurora sighed.
"I guess I'll stay here," she said grinning. "Besides, you guys couldn't live without me." Aerrow smiled as Finn rolled his eyes. Aurora glared at Finn who yelped and hide behind Aerrow.
"Then I guess you're a Storm Hawk," Aerrow said grinning. Aurora cocked an eyebrow at him
"Me? A Storm Hawk?" she said. Aerrow grinned and extended his hand.
"Just like when we were kids," he said. Aurora looked at him and smiled, then shook his hand.
"Just like when we were kids," she repeated. "Except the lasers and guns are real, not cardboard." Aerrow rolled his eyes.
"You know how to kill the mood don't you?" he said shaking his head. Aurora grinned.
"Maybe," she said walking toward the stairs. "Hey Piper! Show me around the piece of metal."
"It is not a piece of metal!!" came Stork's voice over the speaker. Aurora stared at the speaker and turned to the others.
"Was that Stork?" she asked. Everyone nodded and Aurora started laughing.
"Oi! Stork!" she shouted at the speaker.
"What?" came Stork's annoyed voice over the speaker.
"Are you still paranoid?" Aurora shouted making her way up the stairs in to the hallway. She turned and mouthed 'Where is he?', and Aerrow pointed to the bridge. She grinned and walked into the bridge.
"I'm not paranoid!" Stork mumbled turning around. "I'm just cautious." He stopped and his mouth fell open seeing Aurora standing there grinning.
"You didn't tell me little old Stork was your pilot guys," she said smirking. Stork stood there then turned around and started driving the Condor again. Aurora huffed and turned to the others.
"Hasn't changed a bit," she mumbled walking past them, but she didn't get far. Aurora ran into something solid and fell back onto the ground. She groaned and looked up to see Junko standing there. Her mouth fell open this time, seeing how big the Wallop had grown. He looked down at her and helped her up.
"Junko?" Aurora asked, still in shock.
"Sorry about that," he said. Then he looked at her closer then smiled and laughed, scooping her into a big bone crushing hug.
"Aurora!!" the Wallop shouted in her ear. Aurora gasped for air.
"Junko! I can't breathe!" she gasped. Junko looked down at her and put her down.
"Sorry!" he said. "I'm just happy to see you!"
"I'm happy to see you too," Aurora said getting her breath back. The others walked up behind her and laughed. Aurora looked around the hallway and smiled, then turned toward them.
"I'm home," she said smiling. Piper ran forward and hugged her again.
"Let me show you the spare room," Piper said dragging Aurora with her. "You can decorate however you want to! We can pick the color, the design, everything!" Aurora looked back at Aerrow, Finn and Junko, and mouthed 'Help!'. All three smiled.
"You're on your own," Aerrow said heading toward the bridge, with Finn and Junko following, laughing. Aurora sighed and followed Piper to a door down the hallway. Piper opened it to show a one bedroom apartment size place. Everything was gray and dusty, there was no bed sheets on the bed that was to the side, the desk with a stool was covered in spider webs and dust, the closet was barely big enough to hold her gear and clothes, but there was one good thing about the room. It had a great view. Aurora walked to the window and looked out, you couldn't see the Condor like you could with the rest of the windows, no, all you could see was the never ending sky.
"Wow," Aurora whispered, still looking out the window. "I like the view." Piper smiled.
"Thought you would," she answered. "Do you want me to help or do you want me to let you do it." Aurora looked around the room then to Piper.
"Let's do this," she said smiling at Piper. And with that, the girls started working.
"Hey girls," Aerrow said outside Aurora's door, which was closed. "We're going to starve if you guys don't fix something." He heard the girls giggle, then the door opened and Aurora stood in the doorway. She had blue paint on her cheek and her clothes, Piper looked about the same.
"Come see what we did," Aurora said moving back into her room. Aerrow walked in and looked around in awe. They had moved the bed against the wall with the window so Aurora could look out on her bed. They had moved the desk to where the bed used to and where the desk used to be there was a stereo system and speakers, with a guitar leaning against the wall and an amplifier. The room itself was splatter painted with different shades of blue, black, and silver just like her skimmer, and her sheets and pillows they had dyed black. The room looked great! Aerrow looked at the girls who were giving each other a high five.
"You guys did great with this room," he said smiling at them. "But if you don't hurry up and cook something, Junko will cook." Aerrow shivered remembering the last time Junko cooked, everything they had was still alive! The girls sighed.
"OK," Piper said heading toward the door. "What sounds good?" Aurora's stomach growled, and she blushed a little.
"Right now," she said sheepishly. "Anything sounds good to me!" Piper laughed.
"Alright then," she said walking into the hallway. Aurora frowned.
"Do you want me to help?" she called.
"Nay," Piper answered, her voice fading. "You can help next time, OK?" With that they heard the kitchen door close. Aurora sighed and looked up at Aerrow.
"That was hard work," she said sitting on her bed. Aerrow leaded against the doorway.
"I'm sure it was," he said smiling. "But you two did it." Aurora laughed.
"Piper did most of the moving," she said. "I kept getting to hot and coughing as usual," she added frowning. Aerrow frowned too.
"You're not really better are you?" he asked. Aurora sighed and looked up at him, then looked away.
"No," she answered solemnly. "But I haven't gotten any worse so I guess you would call that better." Aerrow shook his head.
"You haven't changed one bit," he said turning to leave. Aurora cocked an eyebrow at him.
"What does that mean?" she asked standing up to follow him. He smiled.
"That you always look on the bright side," he said walking down the hallway. Aurora closed her door and caught up to him.
"I learned from the best," she answered, smiling up at him. He looked down at her and shook his head. Aurora looked at her watch, and saw it was 6:30 PM.
"Oh man!" she muttered. "It's already that late?" Aerrow frowned and looked at her.
"Well yeah," he said. "You guys have been working nonstop since you got here."
"Jeez," she sighed. "I didn't mean to keep Piper for this long. I thought it was earlier than this." Aerrow looked at her for a minute then motioned for her to follow him. She looked at him funny but followed him through the hallway till it dead ended at a lone ladder going up. Aerrow started climbing up the ladder and opened the hatch at the top. As soon as the hatch opened wind came down and blew in Aurora's face and sunlight temporally blinded her. Aerrow's head came back into view and smiled at her.
"Come on up," he said extending his hand down. Aurora smirked at him and climbed on up without taking his hand. Aerrow frowned.
"I'm not the baby anymore," Aurora said climbing up and standing facing Aerrow. "But I appreciate the thought." She added with a smile. She then looked behind Aerrow and saw they were on top of the Condor. She looked back at him and frowned.
"What are we doing up here?" she asked. Aerrow just smiled and pointed behind her, Aurora frowned again but turned. What she saw the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. The never ending sky was turning all the colors of red, orange, and pink. The sun was halfway setting and it was causing individual rays to shine. She had never seen anything like since she was a kid back on their home Terra. She would remember every now and then the times they had all spent as kids watching the sunset then racing home to have dinner. Since she had left and became a Sky Knight she never really watched the sunset anymore. She stared at it for awhile and looked back at Aerrow who was sitting down smiling at her. She sat down next to him and stared at the sun.
"I still come up here when there's nothing left to do," Aerrow said looking at the sunset. "It reminds me of happier times before all this with Cyclonia started." Aurora looked at him and sighed.
"You take on to much for someone your age," she said closing her eyes and laying down. Aerrow looked down at her.
"You need to relax more," she said. "Live a little more, you won't live forever you know." Aerrow kept looking down at her, frowning slightly.
"Is that why you left for 3 years?" he asked. Aurora opened one eye and looked at him, then closed it again.
"You could say that," she replied. "I guess that's why I left and traveled the Atmos. I wanted to know what else was out there beyond our Terra, I wanted to see it all before I died." Aerrow stared at her, as she sighed and sat back up and leaned forward looking down at the Condor.
"I figured it would only be a matter of time before I coughed till my heart stopped, or I caught something that would kill me, or my heart would just stop for no reason," she said looking up at the sun right before it vanished behind the clouds and terras. Aerrow looked at her.
"So you really aren't any better at all are you?" he asked again. Aurora looked up at him and smiled sadly.
"Like I said before it hasn't gotten worse but it wasn't gotten better, but I can live with that," she said, still smiling. Aerrow opened his mouth to say something but Piper's head popped up through the hatch.
"There you guys are!" she said, smiling. "We've been looking for you! Supper's ready so come on down!" Aurora started getting up.
"Be right down!" she said smiling and waving at Piper. Piper waved back then disappeared. Aurora started toward the hatch but Aerrow got up and blocked her. She huffed and looked up at him with her hand on her hips.
"Come on Aerrow," she said. "I'm hungry." Aerrow looked sternly at her and she got quiet.
"Did you mean what you said?" he whispered. Aurora was confused.
"About what?" she asked taking her hands off her hips.
"About you could just die for no reason," he said looking at her, concern filled his green eyes. Aurora sighed and ruffled Aerrow's hair.
"Not that part," she said looking up at him. "But I meant the coughing and getting sick part." Aerrow frowned and opened his mouth, but Aurora shook her head.
"Not another word about it," she said. "Come on," she added taking his hand. "I'm starving!" Aurora dragged Aerrow to the hatch and climbed down and waited for him to close the hatch and climb down himself. When he did he heard everybody in the kitchen fighting over food. Aurora ran ahead and opened the door and walked in, but Aerrow stayed put at the ladder and tried to think about all he had heard. Aurora's head popped around the door, jerking him out of his thoughts.
"You better hurry or Junko and Finn are going to eat it all," she said grinning. Aerrow smiled and walked into the kitchen to where his friends were.
After the dishes were cleaned and put away, everyone said goodnight to each other and went to their rooms. Aurora went to her room and closed the door. Making her way across her room to her bed she changed into her PJs, black shorts and a black and white checker short sleeve top. She sat on her bed and looked out her window at the night sky. The half moon hung overhead, sending moonbeams through her window that put a little light in her room. A soft knock came on her door, and she went to answer it. To her surprise Piper, Aerrow, and Finn were standing there smiling at her. Piper was, Aurora guessed in her PJs too, which was dark blue loose fitting pants and a gold short sleeve top, Finn was wearing a looser remake of his normal uniform. Aerrow, on the other hand, was wearing just some light brown, loose pants with no shirt on. Aurora felt a little heat in her cheeks as she looked at Aerrow, but quickly looked at Piper.
"What are you guys doing here?" Aurora asked looking at all three, avoiding Aerrow's gaze.
"We thought we could look at the stars like when we were kids!" Finn said grinning. Aurora looked at Piper.
"This was your idea wasn't it?" she asked Piper. Piper shook her head and pointed to Aerrow, who was scratching the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"He came knocking on our doors and asked if we wanted to," Piper said still looking at Aurora. "We can go on top of the Condor and see the stars and stuff from up there!" Aurora looked at them.
"Are you sure it's OK?" she asked stepping out of her room and closing the door quietly behind her. "Won't we wake the others?" Finn grinned.
"Naw," he said walking down the hallway. "Junko sleeps like a log and Stork doesn't care to go, we asked him." Piper followed Finn, Aerrow followed Piper, and Aurora followed Aerrow. When they reached the ladder Finn climbed up and opened the hatch, letting in a light breeze. Finn climbed up and then helped Piper up, then Aerrow climbed up and extended his hand to help Aurora up. This time though, she took it, because her heart was pounding in her chest. She really didn't know why, but when she looked at Aerrow her face would get hot and her heart would start pounding. Aerrow helped Aurora stand up on the Condor and turned just in time to see Finn and Piper sit sown holding each others hands! Aerrow smirked and put his face right in between their heads.
"And what do we have here?" he asked still smirking. Finn and Piper both blushed a little.
"I…um….I kinda asked her out the other day," Finn said looking away from Aerrow, who was still smiling. "And she just gave me her answer." Aurora jumped beside Piper and looked at her.
"So that means you two are dating?" she asked the still blushing Piper. Piper nodded her head at Aurora. Aurora smiled and hugged Piper, then grabbed her hand and started dragging her away from Finn, who frowned.
"I've got to talk to her for a minute, lover boy," Aurora called back to Finn. "Don't worry, I'll bring her back!" Finn still frowned but Aerrow put a hand on his shoulder.
"It's a girl thing," he said to the blonde. Finn frowned more and looked at where the girls were talking.
"What on earth can they be talking about?" Finn muttered, as Aerrow sat down next to him.
"I have no idea," Aerrow answered, looking up at the stars. Finn turned to look at Aerrow.
"Hey dude," Finn said, looking down at the Condor. "I'm sorry I didn't ask you before I asked Piper out. I know she's like a sister to you." Aerrow looked at Finn, and smiled.
"I'm just glad it's you not some guy I don't really know," he said looking back up at the stars. Finn grinned.
"Thanks bro," he said, looking up at the stars to. Then his grin got bigger and he turned back to Aerrow.
"So…," Finn started still grinning. Aerrow looked at him and frowned.
"What?" he asked. Finn's grin got even bigger.
"So when are you going to ask Aurora out?" he asked. Aerrow felt his cheeks burn, then he turned back to look up at the stars again.
"I don't know what you're talking about," he stammered. Finn grinned.
"Oh yes you do!" he said poking Aerrow. "I saw the way you looked at her today. When she told us who she was, when you went to see how they were doing, and at dinner you couldn't keep your eyes off of her!" Aerrow looked back at Finn, and frowned slightly.
"Was it that bad?" he asked, still blushing a little. Finn nodded his head.
"Yep," he said still nodding his head. "But I think I'm the only one who caught it, so don't panic." Aerrow sighed and looked at the girls talking. The moonlight made them both seem to glow, and Aurora's eyes shone through the dark. He noticed she looked over at him for a few seconds, then a slight blush came over her features, then she turned back to Piper. Aerrow smiled to himself, there could be a chance here.
"I can't believe he's watching me!" Aurora whispered to Piper. The girls had talked about how Finn had asked Piper and how did she figure out her answer and how she told him. After hearing the details, Aurora told Piper her symptoms whenever she was around Aerrow, and Piper just grinned at her.
"You like him," she had said simply. "That's how I am around Finn." Aurora was confused and had looked over at Aerrow, only to catch him staring at her, with a slight smile on his face. Piper just smiled at her confused friend. Only she knew what Aerrow had said when they were kids, about he liked Aurora, but when they were older she had put it aside, but now she knew that it had never really went away with him. Aurora looked at the stars and smiled, knowing that she always felt this way whenever she was around Aerrow, but only the wind and stars knew that. Piper grabbed her hand and dragged her back to the guys. When they walked up Finn frowned at them.
"What took you guys so long?" he whined. Piper flicked his nose and sat down dragging Aurora with her. Aurora landed on her butt, and frowned at Piper who smiled at her. Aurora sighed then laid down on the Condor. To her horror Aerrow did the same, but Piper and Finn stayed the way they were. Piper got up and dragged Finn up to, and started toward the hatch. Aurora panicked.
"Where are you guys going?" she asked sitting up a little. Piper turned around and smiled at them.
"We're tired so we're going to bed," she said as Finn started down the ladder. "You guys stay up if you want to." With that she disappeared and Aerrow and Aurora were left alone. Aurora sighed and laid back down, staring at the stars and feeling the gentle breeze across her skin. She closed her eyes to listen to the breeze. Thanks to her powers over the wind, she can listen to it and it tells her where things are, where people are, and if there's an enemy near by. That's the thing that saved her so many times before, listening to the wind. She also talks to it, telling it secrets about herself and knowing that no one will ever hear them but the wind.
"Where are the Talons?" she mumbled to the wind. Aerrow turned his head and looked at her, and he lost his breath for a few seconds. Aurora had her eyes closed and her mouth parted just a hair, and the moonbeams came and made her face glow, and the breeze moved her bangs across her face. He felt heat in his cheeks again.
