A/N: i'm so sorry for the long update. but thank you to my six reviewers, you guys rule.
Dark Ace swiftly moved into the trees and waited silently. Piper and her team mates would be leaving soon, he thought, and if he had a chance to follow them, it would make his mission so much easier. He watched the Condor carefully with his binoculars, not being too close so that their alarm wouldn't go off.
'What on earth.'
He frowned as he saw the girl, Piper, hitting at the blonde boy. Why was she hitting him?
He grinned. She sure could beat up for a girl, and it was making his mind sigh with the thought. Dark Ace watched carefully as Piper continued to hit Finn, sitting back and enjoying the amusing show.
On the Condor
"YOU-ARE-DEAD!" Piper screamed at Finn, attacking him with her book. "WHERE'S- THE-CRYSTAL?"
"I'M SORRY!" Finn yelled, holding up his arms like a shield to defend himself. "I'LL GET YOU A NEW ONE!"
"You CAN'T get me a new one!" Piper screamed. "THAT WAS A WATER CRYSTAL!"
"THEN WHY IS IT YELLOW?"
"TO REVEAL WHAT IT CAN REALLY DO!"
"You already KNOW what it can really do!"
"YES, BUT I STUDY CRYSTALS! YOU DIDN'T KNOW, DID YOU?"
"Break it up!"
Piper and Finn turned to see Aerrow at the door. He rolled his eyes and walked over to the pair.
"Piper, I'll take you to the terra and you can get a new one, I promise. Finn, you're going to apologise to Piper, and you're banned from your radio for today. Got it?"
"I guess." Finn muttered, and he shot Piper an evil look and walked out.
Aerrow turned to Piper. "You ok?"
"Am I ok?" She put down her book and stormed around her room. "This is getting out of hand, Aerrow, and you're doing nothing about it!"
"I just did something about it!"
"Aerrow, that was the last crystal they had in the terra, and you KNOW that. Finn better hope that my detector crystal works otherwise I really will murder him."
"Come on, Piper!" Aerrow watched her storm out. "Wait-where are you going?"
"For a walk!"
"Let me come with you." Aerrow followed her, glaring at Finn as Finn chuckled. "Piper!"
"No!" She turned around and her teammates looked up and frowned. "NO! This always ALWAYS happens, you never listen, and you're just taking advantage! If you're going to keep this up, I'm leaving!"
Leaving the boys with wide-open mouths, she was out like a tornado.
Dark Ace, still hidden in the trees far away, grinned and put down his binoculars.
"Excellent." He spoke softly, and got up to see where Piper was going. "Piper's mine now, fish faces. You're losing her as we speak…"
--
"'Ello there."
Piper turned and saw a tall boy, by the look of fifteen, walk over to her. She sighed and turned back to the lake.
"Hi."
"Aren't you a miserable face, eh?"
'Long story." Piper looked up as she saw the boy approach her. "Erm…I kind of want to-
"-Sure." The boy shrugged. "You can be by yourself. You don't have to talk to me. I just sit 'ere for the view, like."
Piper smiled slightly and sighed. "It is beautiful." She agreed, looking at the lake. "Aer-
She cut off, refusing to acknowledge Aerrow's name and how he always took her here.
"Want one?" The boy smiled at her and offered Piper a sweet.
"Thanks." Piper took the sweet and watched the boy fiddle around wit his pockets. "I'm…I'm Piper."
"Will."
They shook hands and Piper smiled. "It's nice to meet you. I'm sorry for me looking like this."
"Friends had a go at you?"
"How did you know?"
"Ah…" He waved a hand and grinned.
"They're just…so annoying!" Piper burst out. "I can't stand them!"
He took her hand and Piper looked down and saw his hand gently squeeze hers.
"It's alright." He whispered. "You can tell me."
"You said it already, there's nothing to tell." Piper was still gazing at their entwined hands. She barely noticed his edge closer and his nose gently brush with hers. "I-oh!"
He leaned in and gently pressed is lips to hers. Piper's eyes widened in surprise, and she accepted and the pair shared a kiss.
As they were passionately kissing, Piper found her brain whizzing around and her heart sigh as Will framed her face with his hands and bit her lip playfully.
BUMP
Piper opened her eyes when the whizzing stopped. Opening her eyes, she looked around. This was a dungeon, and it was dark… she gasped as she saw Master Cyclonis smile evilly at her, and turned to see Will, her eyes wide open with fear.
There was no Will. It was just Dark Ace.
A/N: (covers face with hands) that was so bad! but review!
