Silence… just silence.

It was a cold and miserable day, yet the sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The condor lay still, not touched for two years, the skimmers inside lie in perfect condition, but all the machinery was covered in dust, cobwebs had formed and the condor had begun to get too old, thus… it began to fall apart.

A girl with midnight hair and hazel eyes sits beside it everyday, listening to the odd creaking noises it made. Her mind drifts off into a world long forgotten and she smiles when a familiar redhead comes into mind.

As Piper stood up she took one last look at the old condor, before heading home. As her steps took control, it allowed her to daydream. Her thoughts took her through the missions and laughter the Storm Hawks has gone through… together.

But no more.

Piper… she became a crystal specialist, working long hours in a laboratory, her books and findings sold for millions… and all her money went to charity. She wasn't famous, but well known around her area.

Finn… he was working at a bar on Terra Tropica, always checking out the ladies that stopped by. Although after these long, painful years he had matured and wasn't as crude as he used to be.

Junko… he worked on building sites with fellow wallops. Even though he was with his own kind, he always felt out of place… unlike when he was with the Storm Hawks.

Stork… he went back to his old home, creating gadgets and useless things to protect him from bugs and germs, many of which didn't even exist.

Radarr… the small blue creature lived with Aerrow, those two never separated.

Aerrow… he… well you see… nobody actually knows what happened to him. When the Storm Hawks broke up he was told he couldn't be a lone sky knight… since he was under experienced. For a couple of weeks Piper and Finn went to visit him, only to see an emotionless and broken teen whose life had been shattered.

The others felt bad for breaking the boy's dreams, but this had to be done.

Piper looked over the shore; she saw many skimmers following one. As she squinted her eyes she could just about make out that the front skimmer was different than the rest.

For a second it looked as if they were coming towards her.

"Holy Crap they are!!"

She ducked as the black skimmer went first, followed by five purple ones, those of which she recognised. Swallows… her hazel eyes fell upon the black skimmer up front. To her, it looked as if the rider wanted nothing to do with the obsessive girls following him… or her.

Piper sighed and carried on walking, the sun was getting low and ever since the boy's weren't around to protect her, she hated walking in the dark. Her pace quickened when she heard something rustle in the bushes.

Adrenaline pumped through her system and she almost broke into a jog. Her heart was pounding out of her chest and her palms began to sweat. She screamed when something jumped in front of her.

"Shh, just hand over your money and we'll leave… or do you want to make this hard?"

Piper was scared stiff, if she was with Aerrow or Finn she could have easily taken this guy down, but they weren't there to give her support. She couldn't move and the large men grinned evilly.

"If you want this the hard way…"

She was about to get pounded into the ground when all three heard a revving noise. A blinding light shone the two men in the eyes and a blue flash hit the ground near their feet.

They both screamed like little girls and ran.

Piper wanted to thank her saviour but before she could speak she was swept off her feet. Literally. The rider had picked her up and placed her on the skimmer.

"Where do you live?"

It's a he… he sounds kind of familiar…

"Umm… just along the road… the small house in the middle of the field"

The mystery rider didn't look back, but she could tell that he nodded, his bike was incredible, and so were his driving skills. He was able to twist and turn at the tightest of corners at a speed that didn't bear thinking about. Piper had to squint at certain times when the tilt of the bike made her knee lightly scrape the ground below them.

Her midnight hair blew in the wind and she felt as ease with this mystery rider, her arms wrapped around his waist and she could feel the muscles behind the material. He was strong she could tell that.

Her hazel eyes followed up his back to the two, very interesting, daggers on his back. He was a skyknight for sure.

Her mind pondered, these blades were odd, and they had a stunning cobalt blue handle, an electric blue lightning bolt on the side of them and a shining silver finish. They looked like something out of a fairytale.

She felt the bike slow down, and eventually came to a halt. She stepped off gracefully, unaware that her legs were a little wobbly. She stumbled for a minute but regained her composure. She thanked the mystery skyknight, who saluted her in return before bursting off at faster speeds than when he was with her.

As Piper walked down the pathway to her house she saw two blue strays of light heading in the same direction, together the looked like shooting stars, but she knew too well that they were the lights from a skimmer.

She smiled to herself, knowing that she had made a new friend. As she stepped inside her house she took off her shoes and flicked on the switch. The room lit up and certain misplaced crystals were reflecting rays of light giving the room a magical feel to it. Her midnight hair was a little messed up from the ride, so she decided to sit down at her vanity and set it straight.

Grabbing her brush she sat down at the table in the corner of her room. Brushing her hair through she hummed to herself; she was humming a sweet song she'd often hear Aerrow and Finn singing. Obviously one they picked up from a parent or from the Academy.

When her hair was sorted she looked at herself in the mirror. She had matured quite a bit; she was taller and curvier than she used to be. Her face had lost the puppy fat and her cheeks were well defined. There was one thing that stayed the same throughout all these years, her eyes. They were still the beautiful golden colour they were when she was younger.

Since they all broke apart Piper had been doing the same thing day in and day out. She was tired of it.

I mean, crystals are fascinating and I enjoy studying them, but… without someone to laugh with, or someone who eats all the food, or even someone annoying and rude… it's so… tedious.

"Time for a change!" she said to nobody in particular, she was tired of the same old routine, so she decided to visit an old friend.
