"Hmm" I mumbled rolling to the side, slightly asleep but I could feel myself waking up by the moment. Reluctantly I opened my eyes and took in my surroundings, I wasn't in my room, I wasn't in my bed but I was in my own clothes, "There goes that thought" I mumbled to myself.

I swung my feet over the side of the bed and made to stand up but didn't. I knew where I was, I was in Aerrow's room and I remembered crying in front of him. "Stupid" I groaned annoyed at what happened. Aerrow was nowhere to be seen so I guessed he was out on the bridge with everyone else.

I breathed in and sighed, I liked the way his room smelt, it smelt of...him, if that's even possible. Smiling I got up and made my way out of his room and went to find the rest of my team. Entering the bridge there was no one there and automatically my guard went up, the Condor wasn't moving, as a matter of fact it was on solid ground, how unobservant of me.

I walked to the back of the Condor to exit and look for the others but it was pointless as I saw a speck of red hair peeking out from behind a Skimmer, Aerrow's.

Cautiously and slowly I walked up behind him and cleared my throat. "Ahem"

"Oh, hey Piper" He greeted putting down the dark grease covered cloth on the floor, it was clear he was cleaning or working on his bike. "How are you?"

"Oh, I'm fine" I started but something was gnawing at my neck to explain myself. "I, erm, I'm sorry about what happened, I made you uncomfortable and it all was a misunderstanding but I'm fine now"

"It's okay Piper, it was bothering you and I'm glad you told me and you're okay" He paused "You are okay?"

"Yeah, I'm great and thanks for being so understanding" I smiled genuinely. "It actually feels good to let everything out to someone I can trust"

"You are very much welcome" Aerrow laughed.

"So where is the rest of the team and where are we?" I questioned looking at the bright sunlight outside.

"Well, don't be annoyed but Skyla said it'd be good to take a break and let us all relax, including you" He answered raising to my level. "And to answer your other question we're on Terra Tropica"

"Wow" I stated breathlessly. "Really, she did that for me?"

"Well us, but you can say you" He grinned. I punched him playfully in the arm.

"Well you just earned yourself a walk with me to go find everyone" I stretched my tongue out at him.
"That's not nice, Piper"

"I know that's why I did it" I laughed. "For acknowledging that you've just earned yourself a walk with me, you can come with me to find the others" And with that said I grabbed him by the arm and pulled him outside in a rushed walk, it felt good to have the sunlight on my face accompanied with fresh warm breeze.

"Can you slow down a little Piper" Aerrow panted. "Walking is fine"

"Yeah, I know but it's so peaceful here"

"It is ain't it?" The Red-head stated.

"I wish we could stay here forever, but I guess I'd get bored"

"Yeah" Soon we came to a halt at the sandy shores of Terra Tropic where Stork was sat on the grass at the beginning of the beach, Junko and Finn were playing volleyball with a ball they got from heaven knows where and Skyla we sat in a beach chair while Radarr frolicked in the water, I smiled.

"Hey I'll be right back" I said to Aerrow while he shrugged and went to join the wallop and blond sharpshooter.

"Um, hey" I greeted Skyla as she opened her eyes.

"Hi, how are you feeling?" She asked sitting up while I took a seat on the chair.

"I'm okay now and before you say anything else, I want to thank you for setting this up and getting Stork to redirect here" I said smiling.

"It's totally okay, now let's get down to business" She smirked darkly.

"What business?" I asked puzzled.

"You and Aerrow" She replied cheekily.

"It's nothing we're just friends" I quipped.

"Yeah, that's what they all say"

"No seriously, that's all we are, nothing else" I said but was unsure on the inside.

"Are you sure?" Skyla continued to pester. "Well then, I have some good news for you"

"What?" I asked.

"I like him!" She squealed. For a minute everything went quiet, the sun dimmed and I felt cold, 'Did I hear correctly?'

"Really" I replied slowly.

"Isn't that great, I wasn't looking for anyone but you know when you see the one, you know instantly" She beamed.

What else could I say but "Congratulations?"

"OMG! I thought you'd be angry but you're not, now that that's over with I can move onto figuring out if he likes me" She stated. "Will you help me?"

"Me?" I asked absently. Honestly, I was still numb, it came to me as a shock, instinctively I looked over to Aerrow who was explaining the very complicated rule of volleyball to Finn who was obstructing all of them. My Aerrow.

"Yeah, who else to help me but someone really close." Skyla smirked dangerously again but said nothing.

"Oh, Okay then, I'll ask him later on" I replied getting up.

"Where are you going?" Skyla asked reclining in her chair once more.

"I'm gonna go sit with Stork for a while." With that I feigned a smile and walked off. 'How could she, I swore she knew Aerrow and I have a strong bond, how do you think that will work out if the two of them are dating. But then again it isn't her fault, she didn't ask for it.' I thought sighing to myself as I threw myself down to beside Stork.

"What's the matter with you?" Stork asked drearily.

"Nothing, I'm fine" I responded.

"I'm surprised you're not enjoying yourself with the others" He replied looking out at the water.

"I don't want to, I'm fine where I am, what about you?" I questioned leaning back on my elbows.

"Water equals disease so I'm fine just sitting here"

"Hmm, good, did you know Skyla likes someone on this team?" I asked randomly.

"No but if anyone it's probably Aerrow" Stork said

"Why do you say that?"

"Look at her she's basically drooling at him everywhere he goes" He replied which shocked me, she's only been here one day and everyone is picking up on her behaviour except me.

"Do you think he likes her back?" I had to swallow a lump in my throat that began forming as I waited for his answer.

"Maybe, he definitely likes someone and it could be her if not you" He shrugged.

"Nah, it's not gonna be me, we're team-mates, that can't happen" I laughed nervously.

"Yeah" Stork responded.

"Thanks Stork" I stated and moved my vision onto Skyla who was now laughing at Aerrow as he dived and missed resulting in him falling flat on his face. "Great, just great"
