ENJOY!!!!
Disclaimer: I don't own Storm Hawks. But my fingers are crossed.
"Hey Aerrow!"
"Yeah?!"
"When's your birthday?!"
"March 22! Why?!"
"You're an Aries!!! Cool! How 'bout you, Piper?!"
"November 29!"
"Awesome!!! You're a Sagittarius!!!" The Storm Hawks were fixing their skimmers from a recent battle, so Nightjar had to yell over whirring tools and machines to communicate with them. She had just borrowed an astrology book at the library, and found that Junko was a Taurus, Stork a Scorpio, Finn a Leo, Radarr a Cancer, and she herself was a Gemini.
While everyone was taking a break, she made herself comfortable in a chair across from Aerrow and Piper and decided to read them their astrological info.
"So you're an Aries?", Nightjar said to Aerrow. "Aries-personal creed: I am, color: red, gemstone: diamond, element: fire, energy: cardinal; typical traits: natural leader, confident and usually sincere, very stubborn and dominant…"
"Is that a bad thing?", he muttered.
"Not for me. Okay, now, typical Aries appearance-steady eyes, quick and agile movements, broad shoulders, an instant smile, and a forceful, energetic manner." She glanced upwards and saw him nodding his head and smiling. "You are very enthusiastic about…well, almost everything, especially with new things, you like to be first in ALMOST every way you can, you like to be helpful and generous, you are usually very smart and open-minded since you rule the head, you can stay calm and optimistic in crisis, you love to play the hero part, and you play it very, very well."
"Wow. That sounds very much like me", he replied, an enthusiastic light in his green eyes. "What else?"
"You are a loyal and dependable friend, and like people who are excited with life and living as you are." The special agent's raven black lips formed into a sneaky smile as she continued, "If you like someone, you communicate that. You will be hurt and disappointed if your affection is not returned, but you'll try not to show it."
"Um, yeah", Aerrow mumbled uncomfortably, casting a quick glance at Piper. "Can we get off the relationship stuff?"
"Your pride causes you to keep your feelings to yourself." Nightjar caught his glance, and her white teeth gleamed mischievously.
"Let's hear some other…sign's…information…please…"
"Okay", she replied teasingly as she skimmed the pages for Piper's info. "Sagittarius, right, Piper? Sagittarius-personal creed: I see, colors: shades of dark blue and purple, gemstone: topaz, element: fire, energy: mutable." She peeked over the top of the book and raised her scarred eyebrow. "So you both are fire signs, huh? Very compatible." She smirked at their nervous movements before reading, "Typical Sag traits- bold and wild, very curious and eager to explore the unknown, persistent and aspiring toward goals, are very honest and will do whatever's right, even when consequences are severe. You won't encourage the behavior of snobby, arrogant, or pompous people, and will always see people for who they really are. Typical Sag appearance- long face with pointed chin, sparkling eyes that are a beautiful color and shape, very slim, a well-formed mouth with elegant lips, and dark hair."
She was pleased to see her best friend smiling and nodding as well.
"You hate lectures and recitations, and always want fun and excitement hinted with a bit a danger. You are very organized and you look at the solution of a problem from all sides, which makes you a good strategist or event planner. You are very straightforward, and your favorite question seems to be 'why?' You love to crack codes and solve problems, and are gifted with the ability to speak a lot of different languages; you speak five foreign tongues, girl. You are very generous, and are often mistaken of being careless with money; in truth, you're just very kind and warm-hearted to give to others rather than think about yourself. You can stay strangely calm in crisis."
The gray-haired Interceptor gave the pages a weird look before exclaiming, "You both are compatible fire signs, are generous, and can stay calm even if there are Cyclonians shooting at the Condor! Yeeessshhh…anyway, Sags love travel, and are the ultimate travelers, as well as excellent navigators since they can see far, have an eye for detail, and have great memory. You make friends instantly, sometimes without even trying. You value honesty and sincerity, and will choose friends based on who they really are. You are not afraid to speak what's on your mind, and rarely hide your feelings. If your sad, you have a good cry about it, and if you're angry at someone, you'll lash out, probably vent, then you'll be quick to make amends. Hmm, I should probably stop here." She flipped to a page much farther into the book, then began reading in a funny voice. "Aries-Sagittarius relationship."
Aerrow quickly turned his head. "Whoa, wait, NJ. Don't…"
She didn't seem to listen. "Both signs are fire signs, and when two fire signs find love, it's usually very intense and passionate." She enjoyed the embarrassed and flustered looks on their faces. "Few people love freedom and honesty as much as these two, and they can take it in large doses. Both are adventurous and love new things, especially starting them. Aries and Sags make great friends as well as LOVERS!!! Sags have a greater need for independence than the Aries, who can sometimes be overly POSESSIVE!!! Arians are a bit more SENSITIVE than the FUN and FLIRTY Sagittarius, but this is not a problem since both signs can forgive and forget quickly, especially with each other. Awww, how sweet…"
She looked up again and saw two VERY red Storm Hawks. Aerrow rubbed the back of his neck nervously, while Piper suddenly found the ceiling very interesting to look at.
"Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the representative of Intellect and Luck, and Aries is ruled by Mars, the representative of PASSION!!! Arians like to lead, while Sags are happy working behind the scenes, which means there's no fights as to 'who's on top'. The best part about this relationship? Both are matching in their enthusiasm, energy, and determination, both have similar personalities and common interests, and both will never get tired of each other."
Nightjar peeked over the top of the book to see that her audience had left. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Huh? Where'd those two go to now?"
Aerrow and Piper had left when Nightjar mentioned the best part of an Aries-Sagittarius relationship. However they wanted to deny it, her astro-info was very, very accurate.
"Remind me to never go to her for horoscopes", Aerrow muttered, leaning up against a wall.
"Don't worry", Piper replied. "She's my best friend. I'll get the message to her."
"She just HAD to emphasize every word that pointed to a relationship." And to himself he thought, And I just HAD to blush. Damn…
Piper tilted her head a bit. "Aerrow, do you like me?"
The question hit him like a kick to the stomach. Never had she been more straightforward.
"W-wh-what makes you think that?", he stammered.
"Well, you acted weirdly around her."
"So did you."
"You kept blushing."
"Your face was as red as my hair."
"You were the one who got up first to leave."Aerrow floundered a bit before replying, "And you followed me."
Piper looked dumbfounded for a moment. "Wow, she's right. We are honest people."
"Then I'll be honest with you. I like you; no, I REALLY like you." And I hope you like me too, he added silently.
No response. Piper seemed to be thinking, her eyes set deep in thought. Or was that speechlessness?
Aerrow, beginning to feel rejected, started to move away from the wall.
Until a hand pulled him back by the front of his shirt.
"Come back here, silly", she said. "I REALLY like you, too."
He faced her, only to find her lips pressed lightly against his. A blush creeped over his cheeks as he realized what was happening. Slowly, he felt his tension melt away, and broke off to whisper, "Hold on."
His strategist gave him a look of pure surprise.
"According to Nightjar, I'M the dominating one".
Piper smiled slyly and replied, "But my best friend says I'M the flirty one."
"Yes, but I'M the natural leader."
"Didn't she say there wouldn't be any fights as to 'who's on the top'?"
"You're right. I'm sorry", he murmured against her lips.
She kissed him, this time more forcibly. "Apology accepted."
I know!!!! This one sucked as much as 'Reconcile'!!!!!
No one should like this one, either!!! I won't be surprised if you all lost interest… :P
anyway, big, BIG hug to Dark knightress for reminding me of the idea to let Piper take initative in the kisses!!!!
4th Kiss: Diamond Pendant
Diamonds are a symbol of eternity. But eternal what? Piper's diamond necklace is a symbol of her everlasting friendship with Aerrow, but could that friendship be something more?
See you all soon!!!
