Chapter 8- The Storm Hawks
Aerrow: Could it take you any longer to update?
Me: I'm so sorry! There's been a lot going on lately! To make it up to you guys, I've finished this chapter and the next!
Aerrow: Number1stormhawksfan does not own Storm Hawks, but she does own the Alexis, the idea of Will, Alejandro, Roberto, Fernando, Terra Perfection, the Perfectionists, and her idea. She shares the ownership of Vendetta with Numner2stormhawksfan because they created her together.
I woke up early in the morning. I'd had nightmares about the Dark Ace. I'd kissed that man! It was okay when I thought it was Will, but this was just some creepy guy who seems to get his kicks by playing with my head.
I flopped back down on my bed. I might as well just stay in my room. I was going to be in a horrible mood today.
"Alexis, wake up!" Finn yelled, bursting into my room. So much for staying in my room all day.
"Finn! Sorry, Alexis." Aerrow told me, stepping into my room.
"It's okay. Do you need something?" I asked.
"We just wanted you to come out so you weren't cooped up in here all day." Finn said.
"Finn, why don't you go ahead and we'll meet you." Aerrow suggested. Finn shrugged and went along his merry way. "We're going out for breakfast and you're coming." Aerrow told me.
"Aerrow… I don't know. I'm not in the best mood today." I said.
"I didn't ask a question. I said you were coming." Aerrow told me. "Is something wrong?" I looked up at him in disbelief. "I mean, other than the obvious? What I mean is, do you need to tell me something?" Aerrow stuttered.
"How mad would you be if something had happened between the Dark Ace and I?" I asked.
"Oh… You didn't… You know…" Aerrow looked away.
"What…? Oh! God, no! No! No, no, no!" I yelled, a blush creeping up my face.
"Oh. That's a relief. What happened? Did you kiss him?" Aerrow asked.
"He kissed me at Terra Neon. On top of the ferris wheel. It was perfect. In that few seconds, I had no doubt in my mind that it was Will. Now… I don't know. I'm just so confused." I said.
"It's okay. That's to be expected. Well, I hope you do figure out the truth sometime. I don't want you to feel like this, and I'm afraid that if you don't figure out, this is going to bother you for the rest of your life." Aerrow said.
"I'll be fine, Aerrow. But thanks for being a friend when I needed one the most. I haven't even known you very long." I told him.
"You're welcome. Now, to food!" He said. I laughed and followed him out.
The Dark Ace entered Master Cyclonis' lab. "Dark Ace. Where's that little Perfectionist of yours?" Master Cyclonis asked.
"The Storm Hawks took her. Actually…" The Dark Ace was interrupted.
"You lost her? You couldn't keep a girl in an eleven year-old body that you obviously have feelings for and was fighting to stay with you?" Master Cyclonis demanded, some venom entering her voice.
The Dark Ace ignored the fact that Master Cyclonis had gotten Alexis' body's age wrong. "I… I wouldn't let her talk to them so, in a way, she was trying to get away." The Dark Ace said, trying to defend himself.
"Don't argue with me!" master Cyclonis suddenly yelled, turning to glare at the Dark Ace.
"My sincere apologies, Master." The Dark Ace said, bowing.
"Now, let me guess. You were going to ask me to let you lead a charge to get your little girlfriend back?" Master Cyclonis asked.
"Yes, Master." The Dark Ace said.
"If you love her, then you'll understand why I say this. You got her into this, you get her out." Master Cyclonis said.
IF the Dark Ace was disappointed, it didn't show as he bowed and said, "Yes, Master."
"Now leave." She said. He turned and walked out. It looked like it was up to him to save Alexis.
"No, Alexis. I do not need a boyfriend." Piper told me at breakfast. I was messing with her and enjoying it thoroughly.
"What about that guy? He's cute." I told her.
"No, Alexis." Piper said. I looked up at her and giggled, then took a bite of my sky waffle.
"I need a girl. What about her? She's hot." Finn said. I looked at the girl he was talking about.
"She's a (enter word of choice here)." I told him.
"How do you know?" Finn exclaimed.
"I can tell. Ooh, he's cute." I said.
"He's gay." Finn said.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"I can tell." He mocked me. I rolled my eyes and took another bite.
"Can we stop talking about relationships?" Junko asked.
"Hey. You gotta be single to mingle. I'm single now, so I'm mingling. It's the circle of life." I joked.
"Alright guys. I was thinking we could go to Terra Tropica for a little off-time." Aerrow announced. Everyone burst into cheers.
"What's Terra Tropica?" I asked.
"It's basically a huge beach. I wouldn't even leave the ship if I were you. Something horrible always happens when Tropica is involved." Stork said.
"Uh, thanks for the tip, Stork." I told him.
"No problem." He said.
Radarr squawked and pulled out a pair of sunglasses. "Hey. Got any of those that would fit me?" He handed me a pair. "Sweetness! Thanks!" I laughed.
"Then, it's settled. We're going to Terra Tropica!" Aerrow yelled.
"Love the enthusiasm." I joked.
"I'll teach you how to surf. No one surfs better than the Finnster." Finn told me.
"Actually, Finn, I recall Aerrow, Junko, and Radarr being able to surf better than you." piper said.
I giggled and said, "I don't really think I would like surfing anyway, but thanks for the offer."
"Oh, come on! You'd love surfing! It's…"
"Evil!" Stork interrupted Junko. I smirked.
"No. it's fun. don't listen to Stork." Junko told me.
"You have to try." Aerrow told me.
I sighed and said, "Whatever you say."
"Sir. The Storm Hawks were spotted in a diner near Tropica and are supposedly headed there." A talon reported.
"Good work." The Dark Ace told him through his radio. Master Cyclonis had never said that he couldn't tell the talons to keep an eye out for Alexis. "Was the Perfectionist with them?" He asked.
"Yes." The talon said. The Dark Ace set off on his skimmer toward Terra Tropica. He had to tell Alexis the truth as soon as possible or he might lose her forever.
The Storm Hawks and I landed on Tropica. "You can use my spare surf board." Finn told me. Then, he ran off of the ship. I sighed and walked after him. This was gonna be a long day.
