Twilight Beauty
Chapter Fourteen
"I have no idea" said Aerrow after reading through the riddle.
"I think it's a bog howler," mumbled Stork.
"RRRRRraaackkk" said Radarr.
"Maybe it's the leviathan" said Junko.
"It's a bear, we have to sleep in the woods" exclaimed Rose.
"Why don't we let Piper see, after all, she is the smartest" said Finn snatching the paper and handing it to her.
"Hmmm" Piper read through it thoroughly and closed her to think about it deeply. Suddenly she opened them and walked around until she was facing the cliff.
"A rock so still yet strong in height, of course" she cried to herself.
"Piper?" asked Aerrow.
"Sshh Aerrow, she's onto something" Finn hissed.
"Only those will brave the daring jump" Piper turned to Finn.
"I solved the riddle" she announced.
"YES" cried Finn.
"Our challenge is we have to jump of that cliff" she pointed to the cliff that was so high, clouds were lower than it.
Everyone's smiles vanished. There was an awful long silence. Everyone looked at cliff.
"Everyone, I think we should unpack" said Aerrow breaking the silence. Slowly the everyone came but to life and went to their huts.

The Girls HutInside, there were four bunk beds. Rose quickly claimed the top while Piper happily took the bottom. The people from the Screaming Queens unpacked in silence. Piper decided to start a conversation.
"Hello, my name is Piper and this is Rose, we're glad you're on our team" said Piper conversationally.
"My name is Rogue and that's Lila she's sad because she's been separated from her twin sister, Kila"
Authors note: Sorry to interrupt but yes I made these names up but they're not OC because the Screaming Queens are a squadron. But if anyone could find out there names I would be grateful. Thank You.
"Oh but don't worry I'm sure we'll still have fun" said Piper reassuring.
"I know, why don't we go swimming by the pier," suggested Rose.
"That's a great idea" said Piper. And the others agreed.

The Boys Hut"This is sweet, no girls" said Finn excitedly.
"Yeah, and more chance of catching cartetion brain worms" said Stork busy spraying the air with some green substance.
"Cool" said Junko bouncing on his bed.
"Rracarr" shouted Radarr jumping from bed to bed.
"This is the best vacation ever," exclaimed Finn.
"Yeah" responded Junko giving him a high five.
Aerrow looked around the room. There was only one person; he wanted to be with. He got down from his bed.
"I'm gonna look around" he announced.
"You mean visit Piper," said Finn with a smud grin. Stork stopped spraying long enough to slap Finn round the back of his head.
"Ow, what was that for?" said Finn after contact.
Aerrow rolled his eyes and walked out.

Meanwhile, the girls had just finished unpacking and put on their swimsuits. Rose put her hair in a neat bun; Piper tried to do the same but failed.
"Here, let me do it" sighed Rose. She brushed it up neatly and soon it was done. As soon as she finished, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in," answered Piper. Aerrow walked in.
"Hi Aerrow" said Piper as casually as she could.
"Um hi, are you going swimming," he asked as if the swimsuits didn't make it look obvious.
"Yes, we are you can join us if you like" said Piper getting her towel and standing up.
"Um great O.K, meet you there" Aerrow walked out. As soon as he was out of ear shot, Rose and Rogue and Lila burst out laughing.
"What?" asked Piper walking to the door.
"Wow, I've heard stories but I never thought…" said Rogue chuckling.
"Yeah, never thought he had it in him" said Rose tears coming from her eyes.
"Com'n on we've on got a few hours to swim" said Piper not bothering to know what they're on about.
When they got to the pier, the sun was close to setting. It was twilight. The water sparkled as it reflected the colours.
"It's beautiful" gasped Piper. Rose jumped in, soaking her. Rogue and Lila followed. Piper laughed and jumped in after them. Before long, they were splashing each other. Soon, they boys joined them. Except Stork, who refused to set foot in the water. Piper decided to explore some caves that spread at the far end. Everyone was messing around so much, they didn't notice. Piper swam fast and strong towards the cave, when suddenly she stopped. In front of her, the water turned dark blue, Piper was certain the water went very deep. Where the water was dark, there were ripples. Currents! They led into sharp rocks by the side of the cave. Piper wasn't sure, if she was strong enough to just swim through.
"Piper" said a voice behind her.
Aerrow swam beside her.
"Woah" he said after seeing the deep abyss that was in front of him. "Piper, what are you doing all the way out here?"
Piper felt a stab of annoyance. "I was going to explore caves, but never mind the currents are too strong".
She turned and started swimming back. When she arrived, it was dinnertime. The Storm Hawks arrived in the kitchen very late. After a dinner of a brown lump with green vegetable and a tofu like dessert, Chris made an announcement.
"Earlier, we gave you an envelope with a riddle, have any of you solved it?" he asked.
"Yes," said Harrier proudly "It's a waterfall".
"OoOo close so close, Storm Hawks?"
"It's a diving challenge" said Piper.
"Coorect" said Chris smiling as Chef handed him ten bucks. "Tomorrow's challenge, is diving of that cliff" he said pointing to the massive rock.
"But that's…that's…suicide" exclaimed Harrier.
"No, it's not if you land in the right place" explained Chris "There's a ring you have to land in, if you don't your sharks food".
"They're sharks in the water" cried Finn.
"Oh sure, and they usually eat anything you give them" smiled Chris.
"Wait, has anyone tested the diving challenge" asked Aerrow.
"Yeah, Chef has, we needed to make you live".
"What happens if you're too scared to do it?" asked Junko shaking.
" You have to wear a chicken hat and the next challenge is harder"
"Harder than jumping of a cliff into shark-infested waters"
"No" said Chris with that big grin on his face. "You are all to wake up on time because remember we have to climb the cliff first".
"That's going to be fun" muttered Piper.
"I'm sure it will" said Chris "Good Luck".
