Me: The last chapter sucked didn't it?
Piper: I don't know I thought it was okay.
Me: I know you like it.
Aerrow: It's not bad but I still don't see how you call it a Piper X Me.
Me: The stories not done Stupid.
Piper: AERROW ISN'T STUPID!!!!!!
Me: Chill Piper it's almost as if you like Aerrow.
Piper: Turns red I don't he's my best friend.
Me: I never saw a rule that said you couldn't like your best friend. I like mine. His names Matt.
Piper: O you mean that kid who's always following you around and can't ride his bike?
Me: No that's my dorky brother.
Piper: O than that kid your always hanging with who's always wearing a soccor Jersey?
Me: I don't own the storm hawk but I do own Sapphire who comes into the story at one point. Now I think it's time to start the story. Piper's POV from here on out unless I say so other wise. Now I'll thank my Reveiwers: Madpostman, molerat05, and I'm missing some one I feel it.
I opened my eyes and Sat up to look at the clock. 6 o' clock. Good timing I can still take a shower before I eat and still head off with the guys in time. I walked into my bathroom And took a nice and warm shower letting my midnight hair fall down my back and become soft like silk. ( okay let's skip to the end of the shower) I walked out of the bathroom drying my hair off humming a very happy tune. I pulled on my bathing suit and pulled on some shorts. WE were leaving in less then an hour. I didn't think any one would be in the kitchen where I was going to be eating breakfast. I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge and grabbed some milk. I grabbed a box of Sky knight marshmallows cereal and pored some into a bowl. I'm still wondering why Aerrow like's that stuff so much. I mean he ate it instead of the pancakes I made once. I forgave him a long time ago for it thou.
As I was munching leaning against the counter munching on the cereal when Aerrow came in.
" Mourning Piper."
"Mourning Aerrow." I noticed he was also in a bathing suit. 'Oh yeah. I will treasure Tropica for a great while. Seeing Aerrow is just enough' I went back to eating it as Aerrow got some cereal. We talked about different things until Finn came in looking for meats to put in the cooler for lunch. He was also in his bathing suit ( swim trunks like Aerrow)
"Hot dogs, check, hamburger meat, check, cheese for cheese burgers check, turkey check," His list went on for a while.
" Finn what are you doing. You've probably emptied the fridge already. I'm still trying to figure out how we only have to go shopping for food every two weeks. We don't need to take the whole fridge to the beach. Just take the hotdogs, hamburgers cheese, and the bread. That's all we need for food. Just grab lots of sodas and bottles of water for drinks." I put my bowl in the dishwasher to be run later. Finn turned and looked at me.
"You're not in a ."
"Your point."
"Your not in a bathing suit."
"Yes I am."
"You're not showing your midriff."
"I'm showing you my back." I turned and grabbed an apple to munch on. I was wearing a deep blue open back bathing suit.
"O how cute now all you need to do is be in red and you'll look like a life guard. Maybe a cute life guard." He said with major sarcasm (did I sp that right?) in his voice. I growled narrowing my eyes.
" What? He's right. You'd probably make a cute life guard." Aerrow said standing up for me. Finn looked a little taken back. I was shocked, it was one of the last things I expected to come out Aerrow's mouth.
"Aerrow? Did you just say Piper would make a cute life guard?" Finn was staring at Aerrow as he spoke the words.
"What? There something wrong with defending Piper?"
" No just that's one weird way to do it. I'd best be off." Finn walked out of the room with the cooler.
"That was weird." I said.
"Your right Finn was acting weird."
"Do you really think I'd make a cute life guard?" I asked.
"Well, yeah." My heart did a back flip. I walked out of the kitchen And Ran to my room. I started writing in my Dairy.
'Dear Dairy, Finn's picking on because I won't wear a . What a loser. I was showing off my bathing suit and he said ' now if you were just in red you'd make a life guard, maybe a cute one.' Finn didn't mean word. Aerrow stood up for me! He thinks I'd make a cute lifeguard. YES!!!!! That could be a really could sign. I got to go. I got to grab my stuff and get ready to head down to the beach.
Piper' I closed my dairy and started grabbing stuff like Sun screen, tanning oil, towel, book, my power staff cause you never know, a few crystals, and a bag to carry them. I walked and stood leaning against the wall waiting for every one else to show up. Finn showed up not long after me and leaned up against the other wall. Junko and Stork showed up not long after. Aerrow finally walked in and looked around kinda confused. Aerrow Couldn't See me his skimmer being in the way. Finn was talking to Junko saying how if we play volleyball they were going to be on the same team. Stork was watching the Finn and Junko figuring out times for Volleyball. Radar was scampering around the room.
" We're playing Volley Ball where's the ball?" Aerrow asked trying to pop Finn's bubble.
"Right here." Finn held up a ball. Aerrow looked deflated. " Can we go now? Dude, the Chicks are waiting."
"What About Piper?" I started laughing.
"Aerrow no offence but Are you blind. I've been here since before Finn showed up."
"Well, I didn't see you. Sorry. Let's go." We walked off the condor and onto the beach. Finn's Eye's Went Wide at all the chicks and all he could do was wolf whistle.
"Finn no Wolf whistling or cat calls." Finn Glared at me. I laughed and walked down the beach. I heard Finn yelling at me as I found a nice clear spot for use to put our stuff. Aerrow put down a surfboard and his bag while radar Ran down the beach toward the water while Finn was looking at all the chicks in s and tanning. I watched as Junko set up a net for Volleyball. ' Sure I'll play as long as I'm on Aerrow's Team' was running through my head. I watched as chicks lowered there sunglasses to look at Aerrow. My started boiling.
"Look at all the s dude. Half of them are looking at you." Finn was gushing at the attention Aerrow was getting from the �%9 ". They made my boil I mean I know Aerrow, I like Aerrow, and he's more than a best friend in my book. He's a major crush.
"Piper you want to play Volleyball before you tan?" Finn asked.
"Who said I was going to tan Finn?"
"You have tanning oil sticking out of your bag."
"Oh, Sure but after we put on sun screen."
"Dude, sunscreen is for losers."
"Well you can burn Put I'm playing it safe with a little sunscreen." I said grabbing my sunscreen.
"I'm with Piper, We should put on sunscreen. I remember last time I got sunscreen. I wouldn't come out my room for 3 weeks."
"4 weeks because you were peeling and all red from only spending 4 hours in the sun with out sunscreen." I corrected.
"Okay what ever." He reached inside his own bag and pulled out sunscreen. Radar ran back up the beach and started chasing his …tail? (I believe Radar is a dog so I'll make him act like one.)
"Aerrow what's with Radar? He's chasing his...tail."
" I wouldn't know. He hasn't done that since I don't know when."
"When we were 14. He did that on my 14th birthday."
" Okay. I thought it was the 13th–"
"He did on the 13th too."
" Okay Piper I get it." 'Opps I over did it. It's not attractive to try and know everything.' I watched Aerrow finish putting on his sunscreen. I stood on the side of the of the net doing a hand stand bored and watching Aerrow pull out a stop watch. My hair fell to the sand as I had pulled out the headband. I pulled up one of my hands and came down.
" 1 minute and 45 seconds." He said reading the stopwatch.
"Wrong. 3 minutes and 45 seconds." I said reading my own stopwatch on my wrist. "Okay." Ever since we were kids every time I did a handstand we timed it. Finn came over to us from staring at a in a red with soft brown hair and soft bright blue eyes who was tanning.
" I'm on Junko's Team." Finn said as Junko threw the ball to him.
"Okay but Piper and Radar are on my team then. We know Stork won't play." Aerrow said looking at stork.
" Your right I won't. It'll mean ultimate pain for me." He said. 'We knew that.' Radar ran around our side of the court. (The word is court right?) I served the ball Junko tried to spike it. Lucky for Use Radar saved it bringing it up and Aerrow Spiked over the net. Junko and Finn weren't fast enough to stop it. WE played for an hour until Finn served it out of bounds and hit the he had been staring at. She jumped up and startled all of us.
"Sorry."
"It's alright its just it startled me. Thing happen" She said taking off her sunglasses showing off her bright blue eyes. I heard another voice.
"Saphire are you alright?" came the voice.
"I'm fine Harrier." We watched Harrier stop next to her.
"Why it's the Storm Hawks. What a pleasant surprise." Harrier said as the rest of his squadron came up behind him. They were all in bathing suits.
" Hello Harrier." I said with a sweet voice.
"Saphire these are the storm hawks. Aerrow, Piper, Junko, Stork, Finn and Radar. Storm hawks this is my sister Saphire."
"Hello." She greeted us a warm and kind smile. Oh yeah, Finn fell head over heels.
"I'm Finn, the Finn."
" I can tell. Harrier didn't you say we had to be back by noon seeing how we can't leave the Terra defenseless for more than 4 hours?"
" Your right. It's 11 we should head back. I however think you should stay here. You've been working so hard the last 5 months no break, vacation nothing."
"Harrier. We both know you can't leave me here while the rest of the Squadron goes off to protect the terra."
" I promised mother I would make sure you stayed safe and not let you over work yourself."
"How can you remember that After 13 years? She died 13 years ago."
"Because I promised. Aerrow, Would you do a favor and Make Sure my sister stays here. You see you never meet her when you came for the phoenix crystal because she was working and training to be a sky knight. After you left after saving our Terra from the invasion she came back as a sky knight and we let her join but she never takes time to relax."
"We'll keep an eye on her and I know some one who will keep an eye on her all the time." Aerrow said.' Finn.'
" Thank you. Saphire stay here." Harrier gathered the rest of his squadron and they flew back to Terra Rex. I put my hand on Saphire's Shoulder as she glared after her brother as he flew with his Squadron away from Tropica.
" Come on. You should take some time off."
" Harrier has never treated me the same way since father died. His promise to mom didn't matter that much until he died. He'll never let me be." She spoke.
"So? If he pushes you out of his squadron I'm sure Aerrow will let you join us."
"Really?"
"Probably. You're a sky knight."
"No I'm not. I was a sky knight in training."
"Uh? I thought Harrier said you were a Sky knight."
"He thinks I'm a sky knight."
"You tricked your brother why?"
"Because he was so proud that I was trying to become one he would have been a little upset and disappointed if I told him I had quit."
"I think He wouldn't be. Now come on Let's go swimming."
"Nah I want to get a little bit more a tan then I'll go swimming." We laughed and ran up to our towels laughing and talking. I zoned out as I watched Aerrow surf a perfect wave. He walked up the beach without a single wipe out.
"Piper! Pipeeeer."
"What!?" I jumped as she waved her hand in front of my face.
"Geez you must really like him with the way you're staring at him. I think I saw hearts in your eyes."
" I wasn't staring at him and I don't like him like you say I do, He's my best friend." I turned to her as I spoke turning my back to Aerrow. For about 5 minutes we kept up a good conversation.
"OMG! Is that Aerrow kissing that Chick?!" Saphire said almost jumping up from her seat on her towel.
"WHAT?!" I jumped and Looked around the Beach looking for Aerrow and the Bitch he kissed. I heard laughter behind me. I turned to see Saphire laughing so hard she had fallen over.
"OMG! That is so funny. You clearly like him to react to that." I saw Aerrow staring at Finn as he ran away from a in a . I watched as the kicked Finn.
"Did Finn just get his butt kicked by a ?" Saphire sat up and looked at Finn who was now being kicked in the private by a .
"Yep. Probably deserved it."
"Probably." We started laughing again and I saw Aerrow look up the beach at us. I stopped laughing as his leaf green eyes looked at me. 'His eyes are gorgeous'. Saphire stopped laughing and looked me.
"Piper, stop staring."
" What? OMG Aerrow's coming this way."
" Hey did you see how he ran away?"
"Yeah but you've never seen him run to one in a !" We started laughing all over again at Finn as he ran up the beach. Aerrow stopped next to us as Finn ran and hid behind Junko who was thinking about going snorkeling.
"Finn's insane. I just think I should laugh at his expense." Aerrow spoke apparently a mused.
" I thought it was hysterical. I mean he was running faster away from her than too her." Again we were laughing. Finn came down to us and sat down next to the cooler.
"What'd he do to get her to run after him?" I asked.
"He "accidentally" touched her chest." Aerrow answered. I started laughing so hard. Finn started grilling the food.
"Saphire you want a hot dog?" He asked.
"Sure. I don't eat hamburgers."
"OMG! Neither do I." I said all excited. Hamburgers and cheeseburgers made me sick. (I the smell and the taste of them.) I handed a hot dog to Saphire who nibbled on the bread for a moment. Finn started talking about how they had to go surfing after lunch.
"Finn, I can't surf so good luck getting me out there." Saphire smirked as I spoke.
"I can't surf either." She said. Junko said he was going to go snorkeling after lunch.
"You should wait an hour before going in the water… or you'll be in a lot of pain… which lead to … doom."
"That's a wive's tale Stork."
"I'm just saying." I ignored Stork's comment. It completely went through one ear and out the other. Yes I was looking at Aerrow again. Saphire pulled me toward the ocean where splashed each other. When Aerrow walked down the beach with a surfboard I saw lots s, mostly blonds, run up to him. 'Yep Aerrow's bound to take a blond. Every one does agree they look better. Ha. Every one but the s who aren't blonds.' I turned to speak to Saphire.
"Hey, you think I'd ever stand a chance with him?"
"Sure. You and Aerrow, damn I think you two are better than most couples. Hey let's ask Finn."
"Bad Idea. Finn will tell Aerrow that I like him. I don't Think Aerrow likes me."
"Well, Then go under the water and I'll ask. FINN!" I watched as Finn Looked up and smiled and jumped into the water as I slipped under.
"Finn don't you think Piper and Aerrow would make the cutest couple?"
"Yeah they'd make a good couple and he likes her. He won't tell her because he thinks she doesn't like him like that."
"Sweet. That'll make my job easier."
"What?"
"Piper like him. Don't you dare tell him. I'll let Piper beat you." I slipped above the water and swam for shore. Finn ran up the beach grabbing his surfboard and pointing to a wave to Aerrow. They both ran down the beach with there surf boards to catch the wave. Saphire was right next to me.
" You wanna ruin Finns Wave?" She asked. I looked at here like she was the weirdest thing ever. I smiled as I realized what she meant.
"Let's trip him on the wave." WE slipped into the water as the boys jumped into the water. When Finn came back as the wave came toward the beach and lowered I grabbed his ankle. He fell off the board and went under the water as I swim to land. Saphire was laughing her head off about 10 feet away from the edge of the water. ( Piper grabbed Finn's Ankle at 20) Finn stood up in the water were he surfaced about 3 feet away from Saphire.
"Oh Man. A wipe out near a ." I started laughing at Finn. Because I was laughing I didn't notice who was behind me.
