Thanks for the reviews, Doilan! Wow I'm on chapter 10 and there hasn't been a single cyclonian. Keep reading here is where the Dark Ace comes in.

Twilight Beauty

Chapter 10

Aerrow P.O.V

Today I know what had to do but how would I get Piper alone?

BANG!!

The Condor shook violently. I ran towards the bridge.

"Cyclonians," yelled Stork "We're doomed". There wasn't just any cyclonians; there was the Dark Ace. He's been my rival for four years. Now he was trying to win another pointless battle. But today they just hovered around the condor. I suddenly became nervous about Piper's safety. After Piper could do binding, she won in a single battle against Master Cyclonis, the Dark Ace swore revenge.

"Piper, I want you to stay on the Condor and help Stork"

" Okay" she said. She looked puzzled but that can't be helped.

I went out and faced the Dark Ace. It was a gruesome battle. I got a nasty deep cut across my arm. But I won and my sharpshooter and strongman took down the last of the cyclonians. When the battle was over, I felt a nagging feeling like I needed something. We flew to the Condor and when I saw Piper was safe the feeling went away.

Finn started fussing with Rose again. Really I don't know what he sees in her. Piper tendered the cut I had on my arm with a special mixture of vinegar and a powered medicine. When it hit my cut, stung badly. She washed it again then put a cream on the area around the cut. Her hands were so soft and delicate; it felt as if I had velvet fingers massaging my arm. Then she put bandages over my arm. My arm felt smooth and warm under the bandages that I nearly forgot about what I had to do before the cyclonian attack.

"Piper?"

"Yes Aerrow"

"Um I…um," My mouth suddenly went tongue tied and I could feel myself turning red.

"Um uh would you like to…to" This was stupid. All I had to do was ask her out. Simple. But I was getting in a state. Might as well get it over with.

"What I'm staying is would you like to go to Terra Neon with me". See that wasn't so hard.

"Aerrow I don't know what to say…I". I put my finger on her lip

"Say you'll go with me" I said moving her face closer to mine then when things were going so well.

"Awwww, isn't that sweet" said a voice. I turn round to see the rest of the team watching us.

My best moment ruined. We separated but I kept my arm round Piper's waist. As if I didn't want to let go. I didn't. Finn ruins everything, or so I thought. Rose had a wicked grin on her. Then I realised this love thing is going to be harder than I thought.
