Chapter 2: The Plan is Hatched!!
All was quiet on the Condor.
Ah, who are we kidding?
When's it ever quiet on the Condor?
Today was April the First. Today was the day certain members of the Storm Hawks had been waiting for for nearly a month. They gathered around the bridge, still just Aerrow, Finn, and Piper. Junko had swooned at the thought of lady's intimate apparel, and Stork was being Stork.
That's right, ladies and gentleman.
I said intimate apparel.
"Alright. Piper, what's the plan?" Aerrow turned towards his navigator with a grin.
"It's pretty much the same as last time. We'll wing it in general. Just address the letters to Cyclonis and BAM! Underwear time."
"One problem: Cyclonis probably isn't as into guys as the Dark Ace is into girls," Finn pointed out. "We'll need something else to bring her into the open."
"Alright: We pose as reporters from 'Overlord Weekly Magazine!" Aerrow exclaims.
Finn and Piper look at him strangely.
"Geez. Normally I'm the one who says that kinda thing," Finn mumbled.
"Hey, I was just joking..."
Piper leans back and closes her eyes for a few moments. All of a sudden, she sits up, bright eyed and excited. "I've got it! We recruit the Dark Ace to help us with our...plans."
"After what we just did to him and his underwear, I doubt-"
"Hush and listen. Knowing Cyclonis, I think she'd probably play a prank on him, right?"
"Well, I dunno...She seems a little too strict for that kinda thing."
"Trust me. I know her, she'd want to do it. He's just too enticing of a target." Piper grinned. "We should know."
"Alright, so maybe Cyclonis did play a prank. Then what?"
"Okay, so, if he wants to get back at her, now's his perfect chance. We'll write to him as ourselves and ask him. I mean, seriously, what have we got to lose?" Piper smiled and reached for her paper and pencil.
"She's right. The worst he can do is say 'no'," Aerrow pointed out.
Finn cackled maniacally and rubbed his hands together. "Excellent. Let's get going, then, shall we?"
