Hi. This is my first story, enjoy and don't forget: Read and Review.

Piper's POV

It was a peaceful day on the Condor which was a real change after the last three weeks. We've been really busy. Three tankers lost control and sank into the wastelands, the Rex Guardians were attacked by a plague of Sky Sharks (someone had stuffed their armor full of Sky Krill for a joke) and we had to leave Junko in the ship because he was sneezing so hard that it shook the Condor.

And on top off all that we've been put on guard duty for Starling. She's helping the Blizzarians recapture their home terra from the Cyclonians, so she asked us to watch her home terra. Three days and not a word from her. Finn is practicing his guitar (we locked him in the hanger, there was no way that Stork and I were listening to him playing the song of a thousand dying cats), Stork and Junko are giving the Condor a full tune up, Aerrow and Radarr are taking their turn to patrol and I am recharging my Solaris Crystal.

The sunlight is brilliant over this side of the terra and Stork has come out to check on the crystal blasters. Being a merb, he's enjoying the sun while it lasts. However with all the sunlight and the cheerful terra just below us I still can't stop thinking about Aerrow. He always seems to land himself in the middle of trouble and I would hate to see him hurt. Never seeing that notorious gleam in his emerald eyes when he hears about a dangerous mission, his messy red hair sticking out at all ends and his laugh-

"Piper"

"Huh" My train of thought broken I turned to Stork.

"What's wrong, Stork?"

"Oh a lot of things. Mindworms and Finn knowing all my hiding places for that guitar but weren't you supposed to check up on Aerrow and Radarr?"

Oh crap. With a mumbled 'thanks' in Stork's direction, I hurried to the radio. I hope he hadn't noticed.

Aerrow's POV

Everyone on the terra looks really happy. There are kids playing on the swings, adults talking and Piper was supposed to call five minutes ago. I don't know why I'm impatient to hear a voice. Probably a combination of the fact that she makes the most pessimistic day look sunny without trying and her smile lights up the Atmos or it could be that I've been stuck listening to Radarr snoring.

Somehow a chicken got aboard the ship last night and started stalking him. The only way we could get rid of it was by hiding Radarr and dropping a model made of fruit of the hanger. Strangely enough, the chicken went after it. Anyway Radarr didn't sleep at all last night. He stood guard for the stalker chicken, in case it came back. Then the radio crackled into life.

"Hey Piper. You're late." There was a chuckle on the other end followed by a mumbled,

"I told you so."

"Shut up, Stork." I laughed. It was nice to hear from her even if she was angry. "What's your status, Aerrow?" Straight to business. I sneaked another glance at the terra.

"Nothing on my end. Just happy, smiling kids and Radarr's snoring." I heard her chuckle on the other end. Best sound in the Atmos.

"Stalker chicken?"

"Yep. How are things going at your end?"

"Junko is down repairing the shields. Apparently the battle cruiser did some intensive damage. He may not be able to fix them and this is three months later when they've finally cooled down enough for us to get near them." I sighed. Ah well with Stork at the helm we didn't really need shields anyway.

"What's Stork doing?"

"Laughing at me from behind his hand and re-calibrating the guns. They should be in perfect working order."

"And Finn?" I was almost afraid to ask.

"Um..." That said more then it should have.

"You locked him in the hanger again didn't you?

"Yep." I laughed. She wasn't ashamed she was proud. That's one of the many things you had to love about Piper.

"Okay. I'm coming back."

"'Kay. See you soon." And with that the radio crackled and then went dead. I took a quick u-turn, but very gently so I didn't wake Radarr who was still snoring. We were going home.

Third Person

Of course neither Piper nor Aerrow could have known that the transmission was sent back to an old enemy of theirs and how happy he was to hear from them.

Okay please R&R. Tell me honestly if you love it or hate it. I'll have the next chapter up at the weekend. (Sorry for the first chapter being so boring btw)
