Title: How To Woo Stork

Disclaimer: I own this like I have self control...-grins-and I don't.

Summary: Finn, trying to find a way to get Stork to really notice him, tries to come up with a plan. But, when that fails, the other Storm Hawks come to the rescue. Though, will Stork's paranoia cause him to realize what is going on?

Warnings: Slash, guy-on-guy, yaoi...whatever you call it, it's happenin', my grammar/ spellin', OOC-ness, will get graphic later, maybe, I dunno, and quite possibly, anythin' I can thing of, and any ideas ya'll have.

Side notes: New to the whole Storm Hawks thing, but hopelessly addicted. If some things are messed up, and/or missing, that's why.

Thoughts

Chapter Six

Piper sighed as she took a hold on the controls, checking the Condor's location. "Well, we are a few miles off course," she said, turning off the auto pilot and taking control. "But still making good time."

"Yeah, but Stork's got to know by now," Finn muttered, slamming his head against the table.

"Maybe not," Junko said, hoping to comfort his distraught friend.

"Maybe not? Maybe not?! Stork's not dumb! Anyone could figure it out!" Finn snapped, feeling worse and doubtful about Piper's plan. "I don't think I can go through with it."

"Wow," Piper said, smiling.

"What?" Finn asked, hearing the slight tone that her voice had taken on.

"It's just that I'd never thought that I'd see the day when you started to act like Stork. Granted, you aren't as fearful as your own death...or disease, but you've almost got his paranoia down pat."

"I resent that." They looked over to the door to see Stork standing there with Aerrow, looking less nervous than he did not even a matter of minutes ago, though, not any less anxious than usual.

"I'm sure Piper didn't mean anything by it," Aerrow said, all of them watching as the merb went back to his usual spot directly behind the controls of the Condor.

"Of course not," she said defensively. "You all just twist my words!"

"This coming from a girl?" Finn questioned, wincing as she elbowed him in the ribs. They clearly heard Junko's laughter while Aerrow snickered along with Radarr. Though they could not see it, Stork was smiling slightly. "What? they laugh and nothing! I make one little comment, which is the truth, and you hit me."

"Good to have you back to normal, Finn!" Junko said, slapping him playfully on his shoulder.

"Yeah, great," he muttered, rubbing his sore shoulder. "So, where are we going this time?"

"Well, I was thinking of heading to Tropica," Piper said, smiling.

"Again?" Finn complained. "I'm all for fun in the sun, but after a while, it gets very boring!"

"Then you should have no problem staying on the Condor!" she whispered, narrowing her eyes at the blonde.

"Oh! I get it!"

"Get what?" Stork asked, unable to hear what they were whispering about behind him.

"Nothing!" Junko said, hoping to stop the merb's curiosity.

"Great save," Aerrow said, his voice having a touch of sarcasm.

"Thanks!"

They're up to something... Stork thought, his nervous feeling returning with a vengeance. They wouldn't whisper if they weren't trying to keep something from me. But...if Finn isn't infected...then they're hiding something even bigger.

...Or they lied and I'm going to die shortly. I wonder which one is worse?

"Hey, Stork!" Aerrow called, making him jump as he was startled out of his thoughts. "As soon as we land, we're all heading for the nearest fast food restaurant, want to join us?"

"What are you doing?!" Finn hissed, remembering the plan, and that this was not a part of it. Oh, God, what if Stork agrees to go? Then what? Finn thought.

"Just trust me," Aerrow whispered back, catching the concerned looks that were on Piper and Junko's faces.

Hmm...outside...close proximity to strange people with strange germs...or stay in the safety of the Condor? Sure, I would miss the chance to be out in public with them...but is death worth it?

...No. Condor it is!

"I'd...rather stay with the Condor," Stork said, knowing that the only way that they could get him out would be if they used force. That wouldn't end well... he thought, knowing that they might resort to that one of these days.

"Okay, it's your choice," Aerrow said, smiling widely at Finn, who looked like he was about to faint and smack Aerrow at the same time. "Told you," he whispered. "You should trust me sometimes. I am the leader, after all."

"When you do stuff like that, you make it harder every time," Piper said, grinning playfully at the redhead.

"What if he had agreed?!" Finn hissed, feeling agitated that everything was balancing delicately on the leader of the Storm Hawks' whim. "Then what?!"

Aerrow shrugged, "You ask him out on a date?" Finn turned a bright shade of red before turning around and punching him on the shoulder. "What was that for?"

"Being an ass!" Finn snapped, glaring a bit at him. "I can't ask Stork out! Why do you think we have the plan in the first place?!"

"Calm down, Finn," Piper said, noticing how tightly wound he was. "I'm sure that Aerrow didn't mean to try and ruin the plan."

"Yeah...hey!" Aerrow said, looking slightly hurt.

"...Fine," Finn sulked, knowing that she was most likely right. "I'm going to go to my room," he muttered just loud enough for Stork to hear before leaving the room.

Wonder what that was about, Stork thought, knowing that something big was going on. Something's going on in here...and it must involve me...otherwise, Finn would have told me about it already... He never can keep his mouth shut. So, if this involves me...what is it?

"Well," Piper said, getting the guys' attention. "I think I'm going to go take a nap."

"Right now?" Aerrow asked, looking at the time.

"Why not?"

"Well, it's only two in the afternoon for one."

"So? It's just a nap."

"Whatever you say," he muttered, catching his glare. "Sweet dreams."

"You better watch yourself, Aerrow," she growled, storming out of the room.

"Man," the redhead sighed. "What are the chances that she's got her period?" Junko chuckled, while Aerrow and Radarr grinned wildly.

"I HEARD THAT!!!"

"...I think it's safe to say that you're doomed," Stork said, grinning.
