Just a normal day on the Condor... or is it...? There was no emergencies, no fighting between Piper and Finn (that's weird...), no practical jokes (that's even weirder...) no flying traffic, no work to be done...just a calm, peaceful day. It was so calm that Stork almos fell asleep at the wheel.
"AAEERRRROOWWW..."Finn Moaned. "I'm BORED!!!!"
Aerrow twitched. He was getting tired of Finn's complaining. "Well, go do something then!!!"
Junko yawned. He was getting kinda bored with the complaining and the yelling. "Can we take a vacation or something?"
"NO!" Aerrow said (yelled) "we have to make sure there isn't any problems wit the Cyclonians!"
"Face it, man." Stork said, not taking his eyes off the sky. "We haven't heard from the Cyclonians in ages."
"Exactly! We have to make sure the don't do a sneak attack or something." Aerrow was acting more paranoid that Stork! Suddenly, the warning lights on the Condor flashed and the Alarm sounded.
"Intruder!" Stork cried, looking through his pariscope. "It's a unidentified ship, definently not a Cyclonian!"
"Everyone Battle Stations!" Piper yelled. Aerrow looked at her. "That's what I was gonna say..." he thought. He smiled. "I think I found a new co-captain!" That idea was gone in an instant as the bottom enterance,which was used only for landing, opened up. Everyone turned torward the enterance, waiting for the intruder to come in. It wasn't a cyclonian, a repton or anyone else they would expect. It was...
"CRAIN!!!" Stork turned away from the wheel and ran up to the welcomed intruder and gave them a hug.
"STORK!!!" The girl he was hugging hugged him back. As soon as they realized that everyone was watching them, the stopped hugging and Stork started explaining.
"umm... guys... this is Crain. She's from my terra, back home. I haven't seen her in... how long?" Stork turned to Crain.
"ummm... four...no, firve years?"
"I think so." Stork continued. " Why are you here in the first place? no offence..." He eyed her suitcase. "and how long are you staying?"
"Well, there was an ad in the paper. 'Help wanted for the Storm Hawks, must be able to fly a carrier ship?' You guys didn't put that in there?" She raised an eyebrow at Aerrow. Aerrow looked at Piper. Piper looked at Junko. Junko looked at Finn. Finn looked at the floor.
"Sorry, you said you needed extra help around here..." Finn said, still looking at his uniform boots.
"FINN!!!!" Piper & Aerrow yelled at him. "What if someone else got a hold of it? Like a CYCLONIAN!?"
"I said I was sorry..."
Stork interupted the argument. "So can Crain stay of not?"
"well... Considering the circumstaces... we will need extra help around here..." Aerrow scratched his chin. "Can you cook?" he asked.
Crain nodded. "pretty good. I got three awards for it."
"Well... Welcome to the Storm Hawks!
