A/N: So…yeah… I have no excuse. I'm going to start writing again! I was actually going to make this chapter much longer, but it's been so long that I figured that I should just post it now. I WILL BE UPDATING more often now! Never fear!

"Aerrow! You're awake!"

"Uh…yeah, what happened exactly?"

"We had to emergency crash land on the closest Terra. You were knocked out by the fall, and we weren't sure if we should move you or not, since it looked like you hit your head pretty hard. We just went to go check the damage and to see if the Cyclonians followed us or not." Piper explained.

"Did they?"

"No."

Aerrow released a breath he hadn't known he had been holding.

"And the damage to the ship?"

"It's not that bad, considering how bad it could have been. There's a town a few kilometers away, so we should be able to buy parts and supplies there. If we're lucky, we'll be up in the air in a week."

Aerrow nodded.

"Lets take to rest of the day to put our rooms back together, we can start on the external of the ship tomorrow morning."

Everyone nodded (well, Stork just sort of twitched) and headed towards their rooms, resigned. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.

Once everyone had left the bridge, Aerrow quickly fixed the crystal behind his ear, as it had just started slipping. Gripping his hands together to stop them from shaking, he let out a deep breath.

This was bad. Very bad. He was walking in very dangerous territory now. That…monster knew who he was now. How could he kill her when she knew his deepest secret; when she could kill Him if he didn't keep his end of the deal. Pushing the heels of his hands against his face, he tried to think.

Option A) He keep his end of the bargain and stay far FAR away from Cyclonia and Him.

Option B) Drop his disguise and hope for the best.

Option C) Kill Cyclonis thus, saving Him from danger.

Frustrated, he growled. Those were not the best options but he couldn't come up with anything else in his current upset state.

"Aerrow?"

He jerked and gasped in surprise. Stupid! He shouldn't have let his guard down like that! Looking up, he saw Piper watching him worriedly.

"Is your head bothering you? Let me take a look at it."

Nodding, he quietly followed her to the medical quarters.

One thing he did know, he had to show his team who he really was. It would be far too dangerous the keep this secret any longer.

Sitting down in one of the chairs, he let her check to make sure there wasn't any damage to his head. He winced when her fingers pressed against a particularly sore spot.

"It looks like it's just a bump, but I want you to be careful. Try not to hit your head on anything else, it could cause serious damage." She smiled down at him, poking his forehead with her pointer finger.

He smiled shakily up at her.

"Ok, that's it! What's wrong?" She huffed and put her hands on her hips, staring at him pointedly. She frowned at his surprised look.

When he opened his mouth to speak, she cut him off.

"Don't give that 'I'm fine' crap either! I can tell that you're upset about something."

He closed his mouth and sighed, hanging his head. She could read him so well, it bothered him sometimes. He didn't say anything for a few minutes. A creaking alerted him that she had sat down in the chair across from him.

"Aerrow? Did something happen?"

He took a deep breath before looking into her concerned eyes.

"Sorta. There's something that I've been keeping from you guys. Today something happened when you guys went to check the rest of the damage. Something that made my mind about whether or not to tell you guys about it, and I will, I just need some time. Will you give me that before I have to spill my guts?"

She smiled.

"Of course, just make sure that you tell us, or at the very least, me. You have the tendency to bottle things up, and it worries me."

He smiled.

"Thanks Piper, I owe you one."

"Yep, you do and I fully expect something is return one of these days."

He laughed, and her eyes softened at the sound. She really was worried about him; he had been getting progressively tenser as the days went by these past few weeks. She had been sure that he would eventually crack and tell them what was wrong, and it seems that whatever happened today finally made up his mind.

As she watched him leave to, hopefully, get some rest, she slumped in her seat. The fact that something had happened today made her stomach drop. When they had returned to the bridge to see him standing up (facing a corner no less), pale as if he had seen a ghost, scared her. They defiantly needed to tighten security on the ship, especially now that they were stuck on the ground. The thought that anyone could come wandering in to the ship whenever they wanted set her on edge. It was very dangerous to be stuck in this position, especially with the fame (and hatred) that they had gathered.

She stood up, determined to set up traps around the outside of the ship with the various crystals and survival skills she had picked up. Actually, it sounded like a good idea to get Stork to help her, who knows what types of traps he could set. Nodding to herself, she set off. It would be good if Finn and Junko would search the ship as well, better to be safe than sorry.
