"Doomed as in doomed-doomed?" Finn asked stupidly while making a surprise entrance into the kitchen. Surprising for Aerrow because, he never thought Finn would recover quickly.

Stork glared at Finn whilst urging the others out of the kitchen and into the deck.

"What is it, Stork?" Aerrow asked, just as they all reached the deck. His eyes wandered over through the glasses of the condor and out into the sky, searching for something to be alerted for.

"Is it Cyclonians?" Junko asked, punching his fists together, ready for whatever was coming. But his fist fell into palms when Stork slowly nodded 'no'.

"Then what is it?" Finn asked.

"That," Piper and Stork said in sync, pointing to nothing.

"I don't see anything!" Finn whined, squinting his eyes.

"Wait, Piper...you can see it, too?" Stork asked, his eyes turning suspicious to Piper.

"Yeah, can't you guys see it?" Piper asked, flailing her arm out; trying to point at something.

"...No?" Aerrow said confused.

"Come on! It's right there! Stork can see it too, right Stork?" Piper asked desperately.

"No, I can't." Stork answered, studying Piper.

"What? But you just pointed it out!" Piper said irritated of the goons around her.

"I know it's there, but I can't see it," Stork said.

"That makes absolutely no sense, none whatsoever." Piper said, crossing her arms.

"The Condor tracking device tracked that thing whatever it is, and that's how I'm saying it's there. But I don't see it...we all don't. Except you." He spit out the word 'you' like venom.

Piper's eyes widened but she didn't answer. Her gaze traveled to all the confused morons around her. How can they possibly not see? It's so obvious and big. Big and black. A ship. A ship that's heading away from them.

Her eyes landed on Aerrow, as if asking him whether he at least believes her. But he put on an apologetic smile and shrugged.

"B-but..." Piper faltered. Finn came to her and wrapped his arms around her.

"Come on, Pipes, it's just your mind playing with you...like my mind did this morning. I mean, you beat me? Unbelievable." Piper glared at him, and hit in his chest hard. "Ow! Ok, ok! Cool down. Just trying to comfort you."

Piper pushed him away and rubbed her eyes. She looked out again.

It was gone.

No ship. She couldn't see the ship. It went away. Or maybe it was her mind playing with her. Finn must be right. She hadn't been feeling well all this morning, and maybe it was her mind toying with her.

She slouched and she could feel her eye lids get heavy. "I think you're right, but Stork said he tracked something,"

"It's gone." Stork said his Merb fingers running over the radar glass.

It was gone.

"Stork, find what it is now." Aerrow ordered, noticing the glum look on Piper.

"I'll try,"


Piper was like a magnet. When she was happy, everyone was. When she was sad, everyone was. When she was angry, everyone was afraid of her except Finn.

Sure, she had her flaws. But this was one of the things Aerrow liked about her. The way her emotions spread all over the place. Overwhelming.

So now everyone was glum and were plopped down on one of the couches while Stork was trying.

"Anything?" He asked to Stork.

"Nope," Stork replied. "But I could tell that something attracted it towards here but then go away,"

Aerrow raised an eyebrow to which Stork confirmed, "Something inside our ship."

"So, we need to find it right away and destroy it. Don't want that invisible thing to come again, right?" Aerrow said, in the mood to try something.

"No need. The thing already went away, which means the source already died," Stork explained.

"Sure?" Aerrow asked. Stork nodded.

Aerrow still looked at Stork whether to believe him or not.

"Stork says fine Aerrow," Finn said. "Let's lighten up the mood, huh?"

The Hawks' faces met the boyish grin on Finn's face which meant only one thing. The one thing which Piper did not enjoy.

"Oh no...please..." Piper moaned knowing clearly well what his way of 'lightening up the mood' was.

"TROPICA!" Finn screamed throwing his fist in the air and jumping up and down.

"Nooo!" Piper screamed, but her screams were all muffled by the boys' a.k.a Junko, Finn and Radaar's "Yes!"

"Excuse me," Piper said prying their attention. "I think I'm the one who's sad here,"

"And Tropica will cure you up!" Finn said. "Come on guys, let's pack."

Piper's eyes met Aerrow's, pleading. He shrugged as he moved next to her. Aerrow put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer. "It'll be cool, I promise." He said, as Piper bent her head down hiding her tomato-red face.

All the boys looked at her, waiting for an answer from her. And answering was hard to her now, since all she could concentrate on was the strong arm around her. She rubbed her face with her hands and surrendered. "Fine."

Another chorus of 'Yays' went around. And the next thing, everyone was packing. Things were flying over Piper's head and she successfully dodged them.

"Guys..." Finn said, pulling on his thinking face. "Where are my Tropica limited edition boxers?"

"Did you check your ass, Finn?" Piper said with a smirk on her face.

"I wouldn't mind it if you do,"
