A/N: Hello my people, what… is… UP?! Heehee… Anyway, here's my very first Storm Hawks story, Mi Amor, Aerrow!

Disclaimer: I do not own Storm Hawks or its characters… only wish I did… enjoy! =)

Piper's POV

I sit at my desk, slouched in my seat, just gazing at my small crystal collection. I can't help but be a little moody today, thinking about things I thought I never would. When I was younger, I didn't know about love… or about how hurtful it could be.

Aerrow's been my best friend for as long as I can remember. I have pictures that my parents took of my first ever birthday party -when I turned one-, and he was there, helping me destroy the small cake. He was there with me when I first learned how to ride my bike. And I was one of the first ones to be recruited for the second generation of Storm Hawks.

But I can't help but wonder, could he ever feel the same way about me that I do about him?

Before I can ponder this further, I hear footsteps approaching my door. I quickly straighten up in my seat, place a pair of goggles on my forehead, and grab a few of the crystals that are scattered on my desk to fake an experiment.

There's a few taps on my door, and then two hard, slow ones. "Come in," I called out.

My door opened. Speak of the devil, I thought. There was Aerrow, standing in the doorway with Finn, Junko, and Radaar on his shoulder. "Hey Piper," he said, grinning that friendly, but sexy smile of his.

"C'mon!" Finn said, "We're heading to TROPICA! You've gotta come to the beach with us!"

"Yeah," Junko chimed in, "It's gonna be a lot of fun! Plenty of sun, and plenty to eat! I'm going to be grilling up some Wallop summer favorites!"

My stomach, and I'm sure those of the others, including Stork, who could probably hear him wherever he was since he was talking so loud, turned at the thought of Junko's cooking. "Um, that's ok, you guys can go ahead without me, I'm sort of… busy." I gestured toward my crystals.

"Oh, c'mon!" Finn whined, "They'll be here when you get back! Besides, you've been in here all day, I'm sure you'll want to take a break sooner or later anyway! And Stork's even coming! STORK- the guy who's got every type of phobia out there and avoids these kinds of things at all costs!"

"I heard that!" Stork hissed loudly from another part of the ship.

I glared at Finn. Even if I'm not doing work, his whining always bugs me.

"Oh, c'mon Piper, it'll be fun." Aerrow said.

I looked at him, his sincere, bright green eyes pleading with my unusually orange ones. He was giving me the puppy-dog look, or, at least, that's what it was to me. I could never refuse that look.

"Well, maybe I could use a small break," I said, finally caving in. Damn those eyes of his, I thought to myself.

His smile reached his eyes. "Great." He said, "We'll be there in about a half hour." Then he turned to the guys and said, "Let's all go and get ready, we'll be there before you know it."

"I'll go and get the grill and the appetizers!" Junko said as he ran from the doorway.

"No, Junko, I'm doing the cooking this time!" Finn yelled, running after him, with Radaar following closely behind him.

That left Aerrow, still standing in my doorway. If I hadn't known him any better, I'd say he was being cautious right now, which is definitely not his style.

"So," he started, walking lightly to my bed and sitting on it, being careful not to sit on any of the maps and books I had laying out across it. "What's up? You seem kind of, I don't know, quiet lately."

I should've known better. Aerrow's not like the other guys- the guys who are so oblivious to a girl's feelings. Nothing gets past him, and I only just hold back a smile at the thought. "Quiet? What do you mean?"

"Well, for starters," he propped his chin on his folded hands, elbows resting on his knees as he leaned forward, studying me as if all the answers were contained in me, "you haven't done much arguing with Finn lately."

It was true. All I've really been doing is glaring daggers at him and putting in a few words, but not much else. Nothing, and I mean nothing, seems to slip past Aerrow.

"Well, I've been busy lately," I said, silently chiding myself for my horrible excuse. "And one can only take so much of Finn."

"True." He smiled at me, his eyes brightened a little. "So, you're ok?" His eyes searched me again.

"Yeah, I am. Really." I knew he'd never by it. No harm in trying though, right?

He silently rose up off of my bed and made his way to the door. Before he left, he turned around, and told me "come to me if anything's wrong, alright? You're one of my best friends, so I'll always be here for you."

"Ok."

He left, the door shutting automatically as he stepped out. I sighed, got up, and plopped down on my bed. I closed my eyes and immediately saw his image behind my eyelids. Nothing ever got past him, I thought for what seemed like the hundredth time today. But then again, I reasoned, it is Aerrow- my best friend and love.

A/N: Awwww… kinda did this off-hand, but that's how my stories work, I think as I go. I'll put up chapter 2 as soon as I possibly can! See ya! =)
