Hi everyone! Well here we are chapter four of Aerrow in Wonderland YAY!

Thanks so much for all the reviews from people and a big thank you to Dark Lions for passing it around for me ^_^

BTW just thought I would mention that until the christmas holidays are over there won't be another chapter of Aerrow in Wonderland out, so sorry for the people who are waiting for stork and Dark Ace to appear. The main reason for this is because I'm going to be releasing another fan fic about storm hawks and christmas because I'm trying to release a fan fic each holiday if that makes sense fingers crossed it does XP but yeah keep an eye out for the christmas fan fic its going to be about the storm hawks and the cyclonians having to spend the holiday with each other

Well without further ado on with the chapter!

Aerrow was walking at a steady pace, he figured running all around this terra would just wear him out and atmos knows what dangers it could hold. Being alone made Aerrow's mind wander a little and he began to think. 'Despite the insane amount of trouble its caused me this is actually quite beautiful.' A little smile began to grow on his face, thinking about his surroundings almost made him foget the trouble he was in. 'The air is fresh, the trees are green and the sky is clear' he looked up to admire it, but the smile disappeared and his face twisted into confusion.

"Wait a minute, the sky isn't clear! at least it isn't now". Covering the sky were huge clouds of smoke, which flew with the breeze at a calming pace. Judging by the bright colours of these clouds Aerrow figured they were from crystals of some sought. Then it hit him. Crystals-Piper! As soon as she came to mind Aerrow began jogging and following the path up in the sky, trying his best not to trip over on the way. The absolute focus of reaching her made every other thought or worry in his mind disappear. Piper was the one team mate he had kept in the back of his mind since he woke up, he was so eager to see her and make sure she was alright.

He found piper in an opened area in the middle of the trees. Although he wanted to run up and embrace her so badly there was one thing that made his entire body hault in disappointment: her clothing. It was totally different, she wore a long blue robe which matched the clour of her old pants. The robe sparkled beautifully like stars that shone in the night sky. Her hair was styled a little differently. It still pointed up, however it was a lot smoother and branced off two ways, a bit like an insects antenna. She was also holding a staff of some sort in her right hand. It slightly resembled the kind that master cyclonis carried. It was the staff that was producing the colourful smoke.

Piper herself looked like she was making something with a bunch of crystals she had lying in a circle on the floor. She circled them and made slow steady dance moves as she did. Twirling around them and humming some weird song that Aerrow never heard of. The crystal mage appeared to be in a world of her own.

This whole scene worried Aerrow because he had never even thought that maybe she was different here too. Maybe the terra had effected her like it had Finn, Junko and Radar. He watched her for a little while, almost feeling like he was intruding on her performance.

Nonetheless the nervous teen found his feet and began taking very slow steps towards the graceful girl. He tred slow so he didn't interupt her, at least this is what he decided in his mind, the real truth was that he was afraid to talk to her sooner than need be. He finally stood behind her and strangely enough just as he'd reached her she stopped dancing. Although the was still humming and was twirling the staff around with her wrist.

Aerrow hesitantly raised his hand to her shoulder, his extended finger was about to touch her when she stopped her musical display and turned her head to him. Realising that there actually was someone behind her. Piper slowly twisted her body around to face Aerrow, they must have been too close for her comfort as her dazed face became a little annoyed looking. She lifted her hand, the palm facing the ground and brought it to Aerrow's chest. Avoiding touching him, her fingers signalled for him to move back a few paces. Not wanting to upset her, the now bewildered Aerrow took a few slow and steady steps back and apologised to her. Aerrow was beginning to wonder if Piper was actually going to engage in conversation. He prayed that she would.

Piper took a deep breath, almost sounding like she couldn't be bothered with Aerrow and asked a question that proved his suspicion's correctly. "Who are you?" Her voice was a little slower than usual, and instead of sounding like her intrigued chirpy self she just sounded like she didn't really care who Aerrow was she was just asking because he was there. Strangley enough as she asked the question the smoke that emerged from the end of her staff merged into the vowls she was using.

As odd as it all was, Aerrow was pleased with the fact that they were talking, but he resisted showing his pleasure as he felt he needed to seem quite formal infront of this particular side of Piper. "Um well I'm not really sure about anything at the minute, because so much has happened to me today that I don't understand, you see". Piper closed her eyes and turned back to her work. Her actions were slow and dreary.

"I do not see." Her speech sounded like all the positive emotions had been taken away and all she was left with was this boring, one toned voice. Which drained away the urge to talk to her. It kind of reminded Aerrow of Piper normally, not that he found her boring, quite the opposite. He thought her job was incredible, but when she was trying to concentrate she did hate him and the rest of the guys playing near her. "Explain yourself" 'Wow' Aerrow thought 'shes actually interested in what my problem is, maybe she can help me get her and the team off the terra' This was his hope, but he wasn't holding his breath.

"Well..." Aerrow was stumped, how could he explain himself? He didn't have a clue what was happening or why his squadren were acting so weird, the red head didn't want to keep her waiting so he explained to her that he couldn't explain himself. He figured she would understand. "And I'm afraid that I'm not myself today, you know?"

Her heavy gaze never left her crystals, she seemed fixed on them. "I do not know". It was like she wasn't even trying to think of a way to understand him, this was going to be harder than he thought. 'Whatever shes working on must be important.'

"Well I'm afraid I can't really put it any other way, because my situation isn't clear to me." This time her attention was turned to him, and her eyes were focused on him. Had she found his solution? Aerrow hoped so, she always helped him before and he was relying on her to do it again.

"You?" she asked. "Who are you?" Her voice was a little louder and it almost sounded a little frustrated. 'Is she getting annoyed at me? I hope not I'm doing my best to work with her here.' Since everything was different on this terra Aerrow decided that telling her his name wasn't going to help, as she didn't recognise him anyway, therefore he treat this situation as though it were their first encounter with each other.

"Well, don't you think you should tell me who you are first?" He was beginning to find enduring this thick crystal smoke a little painful, as he kept inhaling it. Just as he finished his sentence he swallowed an uncomfortable amount of smoke and in retalliation coughed it back out. His throat burnt a little from the sensation, but Piper didn't seem to care.

"Why?" With no surpise at all Aerrow was once again getting no where with his new meeting.

Remembering all the trouble he had been put through so far the sky knight just realised his feet have been supporting his tired body for ages and were beginning to throb with it. So he sat on the ground and tried to make sense with his companion. He just had to try and get her to follow him, he didn't want to leave her of all people behind if his journey had to continue.

He sighed "everything is so confusing"

Piper began to stalk around the crystals, the end of her staff parallel to the pile. "Not it isn't"

Sounding a little arguementive, which worried him since he wanted to keep her happy he replied "Well it is to me"

She asked him why again, with all her attention and focus being put towards the crystals as they glowed a little brighter, as if just being activated. What was their purpose and what were they going to do? "Well nothing seems clear to me anymore." Then suddenly as if his brain was subconsciously bored with this conversation and wanted to change it, he asked her what she was working on. She replied that she was going to make flying possible without a levitation crystal.

"But I thought it was impossible to fly without crystals?"

"I know, I have improved it" Feeling a little less on edge with the crystal mage now, he began to say "well if you ask me-" However as if what he said triggered something within her, she stopped working, faced him and looked a mad with him. With temper in her voice she asked who he was once again, this time the colourful smoke flew into his face as if she aimed for him. He coughed violently trying to get the heavy smoke off his lungs. Aerrow never imagined him feeling this way but he had enough of her. Her attitude was appauling. Not even bothering to answer her stupid question Aerrow turned and stormed off infuriated.

Surprisingly she sounded as if she was distraught at the fact she had upset him as she called out to him "You boy! Wait, come back!" His temper leaving him as she seemed to resemble his old friend, Aerrow turned to her. "I have something important to say!" The urgency in her tone signalled the sky knight to run back to her, he felt like a dog but he didn't care. He would do anything for her if she needed it. As he returned to her little work area she turned back to her experiment.

Feeling a little bit tense at the fact she was once again showing no concern about him he asked her what she wanted. Piper waved her staff in swift circles causing the clouds of colours to rise to the sky in a circling formation. "Keep your temper" she said in a slow normal voice.

"Is that all?" Aerrow moaned.

"No. Exactly what is your problem?" 'oh my god' Aerrow realised 'she actually does care! We're going to be out of this terra in no time!'

"Well" he answered. "I really need to get off this terra with you and the te...my other friends. After all this is such an awful place to be when you think about it"

Everything that kept Piper working came to a hault. Like something had outraged her and she couldn't stand it, she faced Aerrow with a furious glare in his direction.

"I happen to like this Terra and in my opinion its a very nice terra indeed!" Her voice almost cracked it was so high and loud, her team mate had never seen this side of her before and it frightened him.

The smoke the crystals were producing began to surround her entire body until there wasn't a part of her showing. Feeling the heat of the moment Aerrow attempted to yell back at her "yeah well I'm not used to it and you didn't to shout at me!" The cloud that covered her had parted its once tight formation around her. Much to his dismay Piper had gone. Aerrow stared at the now empty space in horror, was she OK? Why did she do that? Was it his fault? "...Piper..." his voice trailed off and he fell to his knees with a heavy thud, she was gone forever.

Or so he thought, for the next thing he heard was her voice calling out to him. "Oh by the way I have a few helpful hints" She sounded like her old self again. The boy followed her voice to the sky and was shocked to see her now hovering in the air. But not with crystals or a skimmer. A pair of beautifully blue wings had now merged with her back, they matched her perfectly. She continued to call down to him "One will make you taller and the other will make you smaller!"

Still a little dazed by her new appearance Aerrow managed to ask "What will!"

Sounding annoyed by his stupidity of not knowing what she was referring to she yelled down at him "THE CRYSTALS OF COURSE!" with that she flew off into the distance. Much to his dismay Aerrow wasn't going to get to travel with her, none the less she had been of some assistance to him, as she left him with two crystals that were lying on the floor. One was a lumionus green and the other a murky yellow colour. Aerrow trusted that his team mate was telling the truth, but didn't want to give the crystals a test run. After all he had no idea how many times they would work for him. So he carefully slipped them in his pocket and continued his journey. For the first time since he had been here he didn't actually care which direction he was going, nothing else made sense so why should he? With that thought Aerrow hoped that was just him being stubborn and not letting the terra change his attitude like the others.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
