Piper had packed her bags and was clearing everything in her house. She had made up her mind, and was determined to visit him.

"Watch out Terra Tropica, here comes Piper!"

She was able to catch a passenger aircraft and placed all of her luggage in the holing bay. The airship was so much bigger than the condor, its posh red walls sparkled and its smooth laminate flooring was slippery. Piper had to restrain herself from deliberately sliding along the oak panels.

She was still just a kid inside.

She made her way to the food court and began to pick out a few things to eat; it was about four hours until they would get to Terra Tropica, excluding stops along the way.

So she had no rush.

After eating, she decided it was time for a bit of relaxation, so her feet took her to the airships bay where people could stand and enjoy the cool breeze that swept through their hair. She pressed her hips against the cool metal bar and closed her eyes in comfort. She was finally going to see him and she was so excited.

Does his hair still spike up? Are his eyes just as blue? She thought about how her friend might look like and how he may have changed.

She was just about to go back inside when a man walked up next to her. She smiled at him politely before realising he was wearing a mask.

"Um, Hi!"

"… Hey"

His voice was so soothing and slick it made her feel dizzy. He was so… cool.

"What do you do then? Are you a skyknight?"

"You could say that…"

"Oh… Well, what kind of places have you been to? What have you seen?"

"…Everything."

"Woah, you've seen… everything?"

"That's what I said."

"But… that's impossible… what kind of things?"

He paused, and then turned his masked face towards her.

"I have seen peace; I have seen pain, resting on the shoulders of young names. Do you see the truth, through all their lies? Do you see the world, through troubled eyes? I have seen birth I have seen death. Lived to see a lover's final breath. Do you see my guilt? Should I feel fine? I have seen fear; I have seen fate. Seen the look of anger, on an enemies face."

Piper stopped dead. He was so poetic, it was as if he had planned this all. The words sank into her as she went to speak again.

"S-So, are you against Cyclonia's new plan to 'eliminate the poor', I take it by you're… previous words… you are…"

"Let me ask you this… Is a poor man rich in solitude? Or will mother earth complain? Did a beggar pray for a sunny day, but lady luck for rain? They say a million people bow and scrape, to an effigy of gold. I saw life begin in the ship we're in and, history unfold. That's why I am a rouge knight. I fight only for what I believe in and I will never obey the rules of court if I think they are unjust… I'm what you could call, a loner, but with an attitude…"

Piper hadn't realised the blush sinking in and listened closely to his words. They was he speaks, his movements that beautiful red hair.

RED HAIR?

"There is only one person in ALL of Atmos who has hair that bright and it has to be you Aer-"

When she looked up he was gone, maybe a figment of her imagination. Or was Aerrow here? Had he finally decided to show himself to his friends?

NEXT STOP, TERRA TROPICA!

Piper panicked and rushed inside, and got her stuff. She stepped of the ship and looked around. It had changed in the last two years and the sandy beaches were lined with tall buildings and many small bars.

He has to work in one of them…

Piper walked into one and sat at the bar, she ordered a small drink from a man with raven hair and as she looked around she couldn't see anyone with blonde spiky hair. She sighed and sipped her drink a few times before getting the attention of the young raven-haired barman.

"Excuse me…"

Yes? Can I get you another drink?"

"Um, no actually… I was wondering if you knew anybody by the first name of 'Finn'?"

"Seriously? Well, 'Finn' as you put it is the manager of this entire club! If you want to speak to him go through that door over there and ask to see him, maybe the bouncer will let you in."

"Okay, thank you very much…"

Piper walked over in the direction the barman pointed and found a small tatty-looking door. She pushed it open and saw about thirty steps, as she began her climb she saw two bald men blocking the next door.

"Can we help you missy?"

"I'm looking for Finn…"

"Sorry miss, he's too busy for you to try and get it on with him, so if you'd kindly…"

"No, no, no… me and Finn… Gross! I'm an old frined, I used to be part of the same squadron as hi I-"

"What's your name?"

"P-Piper…"

"Piper?"

"Go on in miss, I'm sorry for the delay"

"That's… okay?"

The two men opened another door leading into a smart office with a blonde man wearing a very smart suit sat behind it. As his pen scribbled over various sheets of paper, she coughed to catch his attention.

Hazel met blue and the man stood up from his position so fast the chair was knocked backwards and he got head rush.

"Piper?"

"Finn?"

"Oh my God Piper!"

"Finn!"

The two ran up and hugged, both happy with seeing each other.

"Dude it's been so long, how-how are you?"

"I'm fine Finn, what's with the suit?"

"I own my own business… it's horrible… never get it…"

"Too much work?"

"Too much work…"

The two stood in silence for a while, not an uncomfortable one, just plain silence.

"I want to re-form the Storm Hawks"

"What?"

"You heard me…"

"But Piper, I mean we can't be a squadron with a Sky Knight. Listen, you don't know how many times I've thought about the same thing. But the same problem always came up, Aerrow. I tried to contact him but I have no idea where he is, there's no word about him and I heard a rumour that he fought Dark Ace and… lost."

"No way! Finn I SAW him, sure it may not have been, and he was wearing a mask but there's only one person in all of Atmos whose hair was as red as the one I saw!"

"I believe you… I though I saw Aerrow come into the bar once… but he left as soon as I called his name. I'm joining you Piper… Let's re-form the Storm Hawks!"
