Chapter 12: Surprise..
Aerrow woke up several mornings later, to the sound of humming in his room. He groaned and opened his eyes to see Aurora picking up his dirty clothes around his room. For awhile he just watched her, lying on his stomach. She had her bangs behind her ears, and her hair was growing out in the back, causing the spikes to drupe. Finally Aurora noticed Aerrow was awake. She turned toward him and smiled.
"Good morning!" she smiled, stopping her humming for a moment.
Aerrow rolled over onto his back and stretched.
"Morning," he grumbled, wondering why she was in such a good mood. "What're you doing in my room?"
Aurora smiled bigger.
"Thought I could wake you up this morning," she answered, putting Aerrow's clothes in a basket she had. "That and I'm in a good mood today. Nothing can make it go wrong. Well, maybe my sister and the Dark Ace but that's a normal day thing."
Aerrow cocked an eyebrow and rolled his eyes.
"Why are you in a good mood today?" Aerrow said, closing his eyes and putting his hands behind his head.
He felt something add weight to his bed and he opened his eyes again. Aurora was sitting next to him and staring down at him.
"What?" Aerrow asked.
Aurora rolled her eyes.
"What's today?" she asked.
Aerrow frowned.
"Thursday?" he said.
Aurora sighed.
"The date?" she pressed.
"The twelfth?" Aerrow said, still frowning.
"Of?" Aurora kept pressing.
"July?" he answered, wondering what she was getting at.
"So today is July twelfth," she said leaning back a little.
Then Aerrow's mind started clicking and he realized what the date meant. He smiled and pulled Aurora down and kissed her.
"Happy birthday," he said, resting her forehead on his.
"About time you noticed," Aurora smiled.
Aerrow wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her down onto his bed. Aurora squeaked as she fell nearly on top of Aerrow.
"And how old are you?" he asked, smiling at Aurora. "Six? Seven?"
Aurora rolled her eyes again.
"I'm seventeen Aerrow," she said, shaking her head. "I'm finally your age."
Aerrow smiled bigger.
"You forget that my birthday is in a couple of days," he said. "Then I'll be eighteen and I'll be older than you."
Aurora playfully punched him in the stomach. Aerrow laughed.
"What are you two doing?" came a sly voice from Aerrow's doorway.
The two looked up to see Finn, smiling, standing in the doorway. Aerrow growled and threw a pillow at Finn. Fin yelped and ducked, then laughed and closed the door.
"I'm going to kill him," Aerrow hissed.
Aurora smiled and kissed him, melting away his annoyance.
"Piper wouldn't be happy with you," she said, unwrapping Aerrow's arms and getting off the bed.
Aerrow frowned and sat up on his bed. Aurora walked over to the basket with his dirty clothes in it and she picked it up and placed it on her hip. Then she started toward the door.
"Now where are you going?" Aerrow asked standing up and stretching again.
Aurora looked over her shoulder.
"I'm going to go wash these nasty clothes of yours," she said, walking out into the hallway.
Aerrow followed her out and down into the washroom. Aurora started humming again as she threw his clothes in the washing machine. She turned around, when the clothes started and smiled again at Aerrow.
"Are you stalking me?" Aurora said, walking toward him.
Aerrow smiled and wrapped his arms around her.
"Well," he started. "It's your birthday right? I think we all need to have a party. And I was following you cause I just love looking at you."
Aurora rolled her eyes, then realized he said party. She liked parties but with not a lot of people.
"We?" she asked. "I hope you just mean the team."
Aerrow smiled even more.
"No," he said. "I'm inviting all the other squads we know."
"Oh no you're not," Aurora said, trying to get out of his grip.
Aerrow laughed.
"I'm kidding," he said, trying to keep his grip on Aurora.
"You better be," she said, stopping her struggle. "I don't mind having one with you guys, but not the entire Atmos!"
Aerrow laughed again.
"I won't invite all of Atmos," he said, giving her a peck on the lips. "How about we got to the bridge?"
Aurora looked at him, then sighed.
"Alright," she said, twisting around and started walking toward the bridge with Aerrow's arms still wrapped around her. "I know the others are up and moving. I've heard them all morning."
Aerrow followed behind her, grinning the whole way. When they reached the bridge door, they heard laughing. Aurora frowned and looked behind her at Aerrow. Aerrow shrugged at her but his eyes were sparkling with mischief. He then, not letting go of Aurora, kicked the door twice, and everything went silent behind the door.
"Come in!" came Piper's voice through the door.
Aurora opened the door, and her and Aerrow walked in.
"SURPRISE!!"
Aurora jumped in Aerrow's arm, and he started laughing. Finn, Piper, Junko, Stork, and Radarr were on the bridge beaming at Aurora. Well, Stork was kind of smiling, but it was more like one corner was raised more than a centimeter. The bridge was decorated with balloons and a big banner that read 'Happy Birthday Aurora!' and everyone had signed it, even Aerrow. Aurora recovered and looked at them all.
"When did you guys do all of this?" she asked, looking at the cake Piper made.
They all smiled.
"Oh several days ago," Finn smiled.
"We wanted to keep it all a surprise," Piper sad, coming up to her and hugging her. "And I'm glad it worked. Even down to Aerrow's part."
Aurora turned toward a grinning Aerrow.
"You knew about this?" she asked him, folding her arms across her chest.
Aerrow just smiled and Aurora rolled her eyes. The party went on and Piper took pictures the entire time. They played games and ate cake mostly all day. When Stork pulled up to Terra Atmosia around dusk, Aurora was confused.
"Why are we stopping here?" Aurora asked, while Finn and Junko were tackling each other.
Piper smiled.
"There's a ball tonight," she said, walking over to Aurora and grabbing her arm. "We were invited so we thought that that could be a part of your present from all of us."
Aurora was touched. But she had never gone to a ball before. What was she going to wear?
"Ummm, Piper?" she asked, as Piper dragged her down to her room. "I have nothing to wear."
Piper just smiled.
"Oh I think you do," she said, opening Aurora's door.
Aurora gasped at what was laying out on her bed. It was a formal ball gown that faded from a dark red to a light pink. It was a strapless gown that had rubies sparkling at the top and then fanning out throughout the gown. It was a flowing gown and when she picked it up it moved like the wind. Aurora looked over at Piper.
"Did you…?" she started.
Piper smiled and shook her head.
"Not me," she said walking out of Aurora's room. "Aerrow."
Aurora felt tears coming to her eyes as she looked at the gown again.
"Let me know when your ready," came Piper's voice down the hall. "The ball is in a couple of hours and the guys still need to get ready. We'll do each other's hair."
"OK," Aurora called back.
She then looked at the gown again and hugged it to herself.
"So you liked it then?" came Aerrow's voice from the doorway.
Aurora looked up and could only nod as a tear fell down her face. Aerrow frowned and walked in and wiped it away.
"Are you OK?" he asked, looking at her worried.
Aurora nodded again.
"I'm perfect," she whispered. "This is the best birthday I've ever had."
Aerrow smiled and hugged her close, the gown caught in the middle. Aurora then wiggled away from him and looked at him over her shoulder.
"Now you need to get ready," she said laying the gown back on her bed. "That and I'm about to start changing too, and I don't want you in here!"
Aerrow frowned.
"Awww," he whined. "But I wanted to see-"
He never finished his sentence because a pillow hit him in the face. Laughing, Aerrow turned and walked back to his room, still holding Aurora's pillow.
"I want my pillow back before we leave!" shouted Aurora through her wall.
Aerrow laughed and started getting dressed.
A few hours later the guys were all sitting on the bridge waiting for the girls to get finished. Aerrow was wearing a black tux with a red vest and tie, and his newly bought black shoes. Finn was dressed similar to Aerrow but his vest and tie were gold not red. Even Junko and Stork were dressed up. They both were wearing tuxes too, but Junko was wearing only a blue vest and Stork was wearing a grey vest and tie.
"Why did I have to come?" complained Stork.
The guys groaned.
"Because Stork," explained Aerrow for the hundredth time. "We were all invited not everyone but you. Besides all of the squads in Atmos are going to be there, so maybe you can meet someone there."
Stork's eye twitched at the thought, but he said no more.
"Are they done yet?" Finn grumbled. "By the time they get ready the ball will be over!"
"I don't think it will," came Piper's voice, followed by Aurora laughing.
The boys looked behind them and saw the two girls standing in the doorway. Finn and Aerrow's mouths fell open when they saw their girlfriends. Piper's gown was a halter style that was solid gold and hugged nearly every curve. It had diamonds all around the top. Aurora had fixed Piper's hair into a bunch of wavy curls, and had the front part hanging around her face and the back part in a very loose bun. Piper also had on makeup with gold sparkling eye shadow. Aurora's gown seemed to hug all the curves she had. Piper fixed her hair so that she still had the spikes in the back, but each spike was either curling, sticking straight out or just a little wavy. Piper fixed Aurora's bangs to where they were wavy and hugged her face. Aurora also had makeup on, and her eye shadow was red. The girls walked over to their dates and shook their heads. Piper just put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes when Finn finally shut his mouth. Aurora closed Aerrow's mouth and rolled her eyes.
"You act like you've never seen us before," Piper said, as they finally headed of the Condor.
Finn frowned.
"Well we didn't know that you could clean up that well," he said, looking at Piper.
Piper punched his arm, causing everyone else to laugh.
They finally reached the ball and walked in after they were searched for weapons. (AN: Hey, they have security measures too! Just like we do!) When they entered the ball room there were squads from all
over the Atmos. The Storm Hawks were greeted by squads they had never heard of or seen before, but they were nice and kept the more mature side of themselves.
When the night was almost over the DJ came and said he had a very important announcement.
"Tonight we are celebrating each squad in the Atmos," he said, looking over the crowd. "But tonight we are also celebrating a special day. Today is Aurora of the Storm Hawks seventeenth birthday!"
Aurora's face matched Aerrow's hair as the whole ball room went up in cheers and congratulations. Aerrow smiled and wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer to him. She shot a glare over at him.
"This was your idea," she hissed at him.
Aerrow grinned.
"Maybe," he said leaning in and giving her a peck on the cheek.
At that the entire ball room went 'awwwww' at the same time. Aurora's face got even redder. Then they all heard a lonely clapping behind Aurora and Aerrow. They turned and saw the last person in all of Atmos they wanted to see. Master Cyclonis and the Dark Ace.
"I'm so happy that your having a wonderful birthday Aurora," Cyclonis said walking toward Aurora and Aerrow.
Aerrow stepped in front of Aurora.
"What are you doing here Cyclonis?" Aerrow demanded.
Cyclonis smirked a little. The Dark Ace was looking around behind Cyclonis, ready to attack.
"I came to wish Aurora a happy birthday," Cyclonis said looking at Aurora.
Aurora stepped out from behind Aerrow and met Cyclonis half way. She stared into her sister's eyes trying to find some light in the sea of lavender darkness. There was none.
"You shouldn't be here Lark," Aurora said.
Cyclonis almost flinched at the name 'Lark'.
"That isn't my name," she hissed, glaring at Aurora. "My name is Cyclonis. The ruler of Cyclonia."
"No," Aurora said calmly. "Your name is Lark. And you are my big sister."
Gasps filled the ball room, as murmurs started up. The rest of the Storm Hawks were behind Aurora ready to fight, and Aerrow walked up behind Aurora and took her hand that was behind her back.
"That was a good job little sister," Cyclonis said grinning. "Now all of Atmos knows that I'm your big sister."
Cyclonis then turned around and faced the Dark Ace.
"Let's go," she said walking toward the window in which they came in. "I'm tired of this place."
The Dark Ace frowned.
"But Master," he said walking beside her. "We can attack them right now and win! They have no weapons!"
Cyclonis whirled around to face the Dark Ace.
"Are you questioning my authority?" she hissed.
The Dark Ace took a step back.
"No Master," he answered, hanging his head in shame.
"Good," Cyclonis answered, stepping outside. "Oh and Aurora…"
Aurora squeezed Aerrow's hand as she waited to hear what her sister said.
"Mother's song will come true," she said walking into the darkness with the Dark Ace. "And you know who will win."
With that she was gone.
Aurora was in a daze the rest of the time. She didn't know when they left the ball, or when the got back to the Condor, or when she had changed into her PJs and took her makeup off. The moment she came out of her daze was when she was in her room, picking some stuff out on her guitar. She then started singing a song that she had written a long time ago.
"Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go… and no one knows
You cry, but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone…"
She finished the note and looked around her room. With a sigh she put her guitar down and crawled under the covers. She fell asleep and prayed tomorrow that what had happened that night was all just a dream.
Me: Did you like it? The song was the chorus from Tied Together With a Smile by Taylor Swift. I love Taylor Swift! She won the new female vocalist of the year last night on the ACMs!! XD It made me happy! Anyway, R&R PEPS!! LATER!!
