''You should probably stay here and rest up for a while, y'know just until your ankle gets better'' Aerrow said resting a pillow under Starling's bruised foot,
''Thank-you'' She replied timidly, looking down at Aerrow who smiled sweetly at her.
''I have ice!'' Piper squealed as she ran into the room, she knelt down by Aerrow,
''Um Piper…'' he began, "Those are frozen peas"
Starling giggled quietly to herself under her breath.
Aerrow took hold of the frozen green back and placed it gently on Starling's ankle, she flinched when it touched her skin,
"It's cold!" She shouted when Piper and Aerrow started staring at her, they knew she was able to take pain.
Finn sat up from where he was sitting and waltzed over to Starling and leaned on the side of her chair,
"So Starling, what actually happened?'' he asked,
"Well…''
Flash backAerrow and Starling were flying full speed over the remote terra Amazonia, with Dark Ace in hot pursuit,
"We need to get out of here!" Starling yelled,
"That we do" Aerrow replied turning his head around to see what Dark Ace was up to, he had no reason to come after them, maybe it was a natural instinct by now.
Dark Ace sent four blasts from his energy blade towards Aerrow and Starling,
Aerrow managed to dodge them Starling however wasn't so lucky, one of the fiery red blasts clipped the top wing on Starling's skimmer causing it to spiral out of control and head straight for the ground,
Starling let and ear piercing scream fly out of her mouth as the ground came closer into view.
Up in the skies Dark Ace laughed as he watched the redhead chase Starling,
Starling covered her face as her skimmer was about to get tangled up in a tree, when she felt something grab hold of her hand,
"Need help?" Aerrow asked smiling at Starling, who was suspended in mid air,
"Only a little" She replied.
Aerrow tried pulling Starling up when Dark Ace came back into view, he let a single shot fly,
Aerrow was confused at why he didn't aim it at him, when he heard Starling yelp painfully, the blast hit Starling's ankle, but only just, seeing as they were flying out of control a lot, it's hard to fly a skimmer…
"…When you're trying to get someone on the back of your skimmer" Aerrow said smiling,
Junko brought his hands up to his mouth and shuddered,
"That must have hurt," He mumbled,
"No, of course it didn't" Starling said sarcastically, folding her arms.
Piper looked at the clock in the shape of their logo, she yawned,
"Hmm, midnight already?" she muttered, just so the rest of the group could hear,
"Midnight?" Stork whispered, "The most likely time for an attack, sky sharks? Murk raiders maybe?"
Starling stared blankly at Piper,
"Is he always like that?" She said in a very blank tone,
"Unfortunately, yes" Piper replied, the pair started giggling, the guys just stared at them, and they shuddered at the memory of Lark.
"Well, I'm turning in" Said Finn exiting the room and wandering off to his quarters,
"Me too" Junko agreed yawning and walking away,
"I'm not tired, I might stay up and experiment with the crystals for a while" Piper said lazily, her eyes half open,
"Yeah, you're not tired at all" Aerrow said shooing her off to her room, Aerrow was about to leave to when he heard Starling's faint voice,
"A little help?" She asked pointing to her swollen ankle, Aerrow laughed as he went back, he wrapped her arm around Starling's neck, he held onto her wrist with one arm and the other was gently clasped around her waist,
The pair took one step until Starling let out a faint cry, the pressure she was putting on her ankle was awful,
Stork rushed up behind them,
"You should probably get that checked" Stork stated, "it could be infected" he said pointing at Starling's black and blue foot.
She sighed, her eyes widened when she felt something knock the back of her knees.
Seeing as Starling couldn't walk Aerrow figured it would be a better idea if he carried her to the guest quarters,
The door flung open and Aerrow rested Starling on the bed, she'd only just dozed off to sleep in the minute it took for him to get her up there,
As Aerrow left the room, he quietly shut the door behind him, until he came face to face with Piper, who was grinning madly,
"What?" he asked, becoming nervous, Piper continued grinning until she nudged him in the side, making Aerrow loose his balance a little,
"Don't worry" Piper said,
"Worry about what?" Aerrow replied becoming a little sketchy,
"I'll keep your little secret" She exclaimed, winking at him playfully,
"What secret?" Aerrow asked completely baffled,
"Stop playing! Like you don't know! But it's okay, I'll make sure no-one else will find out about you're little crush on Starling, okay?" Piper yelled tapping him on the shoulder twice, before fleeing of to her crystal lab,
Aerrow stood shocked for a minute, unable to come to terms with what just happened,
He blushed ever so slightly; it was not in Aerrow's good books to blush,
"Little crush?" he garbled to himself running his hand through his messy red hair before walking off to his quarters.
The next morning, Stork was for once driving the condor serenely through the skies, the cotton like wisps of clouds disappearing as the ship flew through them.
In the guest quarters Starling was attempting to move herself, sleeping in was not something done by Starling,
She skidded slowly across the floor on her rear end, until she got to the door.
Starling attempted to reach up to turn the handle, but it was too high up for her to reach,
She sat on the floor with her back against the wall,
"This is getting ridiculous," Starling mumbled folding her arms.
The only thing she hadn't tried was walking, which came next, of course.
As she wandered down the corridor, using the walls to keep herself steady, all was going well until she came to the stairs, she let out a long sigh, she was about to take the first step, when Junko appeared behind her,
"I'll help you!" He shouted throwing Starling over his broad shoulder,
"Thank you Junko" She said nervously as he set her down on a chair, he smiled as he walked away.
Piper came and sat next to her, bringing a mug filled with cocoa, for Starling and for herself.
"Sleep well?" Piper asked calmly, Starling nodded while taking a sip from the warm, smooth cocoa that was set in front of her, Piper smiled and got up,
"Good"
Starling sighed loudly,
"What's wrong?" Junko asked,
"I left my nunchucks in the cyclonian cell I was in, I forgot about them, that's why I had no defence against Dark Ace when we were flying over Amazonia"
The door opened,
"Then we'll get them back, won't we" Aerrow stated walking in, "Just as soon as Finn gets up"

Okay
If you're wondering what happened to my last story I lost all the files with them on so I can't update,
And I can't rewrite because I forgot the words on the page ((I write stuff as soon as it comes into my head, I don't bother planning))
So I started a new one
