Drabble Two: Piper Sandcakes

"Piper... I..." Stork's fingers twitched as he stared into Piper's golden eyes. He was nervous, having never told anyone what he was about to say.

"What is it, Stork?" she asked. The look he had in his eyes sent a pleasant tingle down her spine. What was he going to say to her.

"I... I l-l-l-l..." The merb trailed off.

Piper began to smile. L? L what? Love? Her heart began beating faster as she waited for Stork to finish his sentence.

"I don't know exactly how to say this Piper... I've... I've wanted to say this for a long time..."

She began to grow a little impatient, but she didn't let it show. "What is it?"

"I... I love..." Stork swallowed and spit out the rest of the sentence. "I love your Piper Sandcakes!" He glanced around nervously as if the Condor was going to cave in on him.

Piper just stared at him, her disappointment visible on her face. "Oh... Oh, um, thanks Stork. I'll go and make some more now."

"Thanks Piper. I knew you'd understand..."
