"Piper!" Aerrow called through the smoke. "Piper!"

Piper had been standing next to Aerrow when the explosion happened, but now she was gone.

"Aerrow!"

The call came weakly somewhere to Aerrow's left. Aerrow made his way over to her voice and as the smoke slowly cleared he saw Piper was laying under a hulking piece of stone.

"Piper!" Aerrow tried to lift the rock by himself. "Junko, come help me with this!"

Junko appeared from the smoke.

"Right."

Junko banged his fist together, activating his Knuckle Busters, and all but flung to rock at the apposing wall. Even before the rock was thrown, Aerrow was at Piper's side.

"Piper are you all right?"

Aerrow asked quickly giving Piper the once over to make sure that there was no lethal harm done.

"I'm fine."

Piper tried to stand, but when she put pressure on her right arm she cried out and fell against Aerrow.

"Oh yeah Piper, you're just fine."

Finn said, supporting a half unconscious Stork.

"What happened to Stork?"

Piper asked.

"Don't know. I found him like this."

"DON'T EAT THE MUSHROOMS!"

Stork yelled out.

"Piper, I'm going to look at your arm, okay?"

Aerrow asked, completely ignoring the outburst from the pilot. Piper nodded and Aerrow carefully lifted up Pipers arm, there was a small bump about half way up her lower arm.

"Ah...Piper, do you still have the Nil Crystal that Gundstaff gave you?"

"Yeah?"

"Good. Where is it?"

"In my crystal lab."

"Okay Finn, first put Stork down, take your skimmer and go back to the Condor to get it."

"Where is it again?"

Finn asked, the only reason he didn't argue was because of his worry for Piper.

"It should still be in it's case. It's in the cabinet against the right wall. The case say Nil on it so you shouldn't have to much trouble finding it."

Finn lowered Stork to the ground, turned, and ran out of the jail.

"Okay Piper, you're the smart one, what do we need to do to make sure the crystal works?"

"You need to set my arm." Piper smiled at the confused look on Aerrow's face. "You need to pop the bone back in to place." Piper laughed at the looks on her friends face. "And then you need to brace it."

More confused looks. "Okay, find two straight pieces of wood that go the length of my arm. Once you found them place them on either side of my arm and then wrap something tightly around my arm."

It took a second for the information to sink in.

"Okay, Junko can you find the wood?"

"Sure Aerrow."

"Aerrow, you're going to have to pop the bone back you know."

Piper said looking at Aerrow with a kind of worry.

"This is going to hurt right?"

"It should yeah."

"And you're sure you want me to do this?"

"Yes Aerrow."

"Wouldn't it be better if a doctor did this?"

"Maybe. But I don't want a doctor to do this, I want you to."

Aerrow stopped fussing over Pipers arms.

"What?"

"I want you to set my arm Aerrow."

"Why?"

"Because I trust you. And because I doubt there is a qualified doctor in this town."

Aerrow laughed, which made Piper laugh.

"What's going on?"

Junko had come back, a pile of random sized sticks.

"Junko I said two sticks!"

"But I couldn't find two that were the right size."

"It's all right Junko." Piper said sifting through the pile with her good arm. She handed Aerrow one stick and then another. "What about the wrapping?"

"Uh." Aerrow looked around him. "What about this."

Aerrow pulled his shirt over his head.

"That would work fine."

Piper said, trying to hid her blush.

They Mayor came upon the Storm Hawk's just after Aerrow had finished setting Piper's arm. A normal human being would be concerned about Pipers arm, but the mayor was more concerned about that fact the Aerrow was more fit then he was.

"Ah there you are. But where is young master Finn?"

"Here I am!" Finn came crashing in to the jail on his skimmer, nearly hitting the Mayor. "And here is the crystal."

Finn held out the crystal.

"Ah Finn...Uhh...that's the wrong crystal."

Piper said.

"What? It was in the cabinet!"

"Was it in the case that said 'Nil'?"

"Uhh..."

"Sir's and Ma'am. I wish to go after the girl, so if you are alright?"

"Yeah were fine."

"Good, you three find that girl. And you two...take me home...I'm sure that you can find your way back to your ship."

The Mayor turned and walked out of the jail.

"What happened? Why am I on the floor?"

Stork said sitting up from the floor.
