I am sure their isn't any need of disclaimer. You all know what it is.

***[Read the A/N at the end. It's important]***

Chapter: 4

Aerrow had brought him just the right type of card. It was perfect for writing a 'love message'. The card was of crème color. Its designing was in landscape orientation. On its front cover, there were blood red roses sketched with "Intended Best Wishes for You" written at top right corner in big cursive font. The inside of the card was left blank for you to write whatever message you want to. The envelope was otherwise; plain. But the whole thing together as a set with addition of flowers would totally look like the ace of diamonds.

As soon as it got between his fingers, Finn hastily thanked Aerrow & scurried towards his room. Aerrow laughed. Seems to me that he's very serious about Dove, he thought.

At night, after dinner Finn found Aerrow alone in his room. Radarr wasn't there. This was his chance. Now was the time he could put his second step into action. He rushed to his room & brought the things. He then headed towards Aerrow. He was still alone, sitting on his desk & engrossed in some sort of magazine.

"Hey, dude!" Aerrow looked up from his magazine.

"Hey, Finn. Do you need something?"

"Yup!" He then took out the crystal from his pocket. It was now hanging on his finger.

"Finn, where did you get the hypnosis crystal?" Aerrow asked him confusingly.

"From Piper's room." He replied casually.

"You stole it from piper's room," Aerrow shouted, "Why?"

"Because…" Finn smirked & shoved the crystal in front of Aerrow's face. After a little glowing, it gave out a slow green wave which crashed with Aerrow's eyes. The process continued for two seconds with three or four waves emitted, taking Aerrow completely in its control.

"…to hypnotize you in writing a letter." Finn finished his sentence with a satisfied smile. Now he had to chant few sentences to make Aerrow do what he really have to.

"You like Piper a lot."

"You want to confess your love to her."

"You will finally tell her now."

"You will write a letter to her about your feelings."

Aerrow's eyes were having green & yellow concentric rings. He was totally under hypnotism. His eyes soon returned to normal momentarily. Finn took out the card & the envelope which was safely tucked behind him in his shirt. He took a pen from Aerrow's pen holder. He scratched irregular lines on a rough paper to ensure that the pen wrote neatly. It did.

Finn gave the pen & card to Aerrow to start his love confession rant. & Aerrow started immediately. He, bewitched, wrote everything & Finn stood behind him, his eyes shining & bit stupefied at what he was writing. When Aerrow was done, Finn gently took it from his hands & read it once again before sealing it in the envelope.

Dear Piper,

So much changed in my life. Every new day, there has been something new kept for me. It has always been like this. But one thing remained constant. You. You never changed for me, Piper, neither you'll ever get replaced by me. For me, you'll always be that 'one'. You are sweet, caring, intelligent, mirthful & most of all, irresistibly beautiful. You have a heart of gold, Piper. For you, our strong bond is just platonic. But for me, it's deeper than that. You'll always be special for me, Piper. You own a special place in my heart.

Only yours,

Aerrow

Perfecto! Piper would totally be in love with the letter. What Aerrow wrote could make anyone swoon. The card, the flowers, his cursive penmanship & the message gave enough drama to make it a perfect love letter.

Finn looked towards Aerrow. He was still in his seat, still under the crystal's spell. Good. He had to stay in this state for a bit more. Finn had to complete the task. He headed towards his room. He had to give the finishing touch on the envelope. He came into his room & took out a musk scented perfume from his wardrobe & sprayed it on the envelope. He smelled it. His eyes closed pleasingly at the amazing scent. He then grabbed the lavenders from his desk. They were still fresh, just like he had bought from the shop. He had kept them with a Floral crystal. Floral crystal was Piper's creation. It served as the purpose of maintaining flowers' health & keeping them fresh for several days. Finn had kept the flowers in a water filled vase with this crystal dipped in it.

This was the best time for giving the letter. Finn's plan was to put the letter in Piper's room & then get out from there. He had made sure earlier that Piper was still in her lab, experimenting on her crystals.

Finn, without wasting any more time, dashed towards Piper's room. He got inside the room & looked for the best place to put the letter & flowers. He thought of putting them on her bed. But then he declined the idea. He decided to put it on her working desk. It was the better place. The desk was near the door & her eyes would immediately land on the things on her desk when she will enter. So, he put the flowers & the letter properly on her desk. He also returned the hypnosis crystal at its rightful place. Piper would never know that he had stolen it.

He clasped his hand together & sighing looked one last time at the letter. His plan was complete. Now, he just had to wait for the consequence. & he was sure that it wouldn't be bad.

Finn got out of Piper's room & headed for Aerrow's. He still had a task in hands. When Finn entered Aerrow's room, he saw Aerrow in the same position as he had left. He smirked & chanted the password on nearing his ears which will disable the effect of hypnosis crystal;

"Cyclonia help, bad news!"

Aerrow was immediately backed in his senses. He rubbed his forehead & "what happened" escaped his lips. A second later, everything streamed in his mind & his eyes got wide. Oh no! He jumped from his chair & turned. Finn was standing behind him. His eyes instantly raged & he gritted his teeth. His hands were fisted at his sides ready to pounce.

"FINN!" He barked. Finn held up his hands to relax him.

"Dude, relax!"

"Relax? Are you KIDDING ME? FINN, DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"

"Of course I know. If I didn't know anything then why would I've done it in the first place?" Finn replied smugly.

Your blood has been written on my hands, Finn! Aerrow screamed in his mind.

"Finn, you hypnotized me in writing a love letter to Piper. For screaming out loud Finn, it was a LOVE LETTER!" Now Aerrow was very much worried.

"Duuude! Tell me something I don't know." Finn said as he waved a fly from his nose.

"Finn," Aerrow said in a crying voice, "Do you know the consequence of all this?"

"If you mean, Piper coming running to you & then hugging you for confessing your love, then I know very well."Aerrow combed his hair with his fingers frustratingly.

"No, Finn! That's not going to happen. Piper doesn't feel the same about me." Aerrow said.

"How do you know?" Finn asked.

"How worse can this all get?" Aerrow muttered, ignoring his question.

"Hey! I also gave some flowers with it, you know, Piper's favorite ones; lavenders." Finn chirped happily at him. Aerrow couldn't help but face palm at this.

"Finn! Finn! Finn!" Aerrow's voice raised an octave at the end.

"C'mon! Didn't you say that flowers make a good impression on the reader?" Finn reminded Aerrow.

"You…hold on a sec. Did you ask me to bring the card for this?" Aerrow asked as he put two & two together.

"I knew you would figure it out, my very genius commanding officer!" Finn replied. All of his white teeth were out in an attempt of a 'complementarily charming' smile. Aerrow groaned.

Aerrow remembered when Finn had today excused himself from joining them. He had stayed back for this. He lied that he had to fix his skimmer. He saw Finn's skimmer when he had entered in the hangar bay. It wasn't fixed but he hadn't paid any attention to it.

He also remembered the part when Finn contacted him & asked him to bring the card & letter. He fully remembered that he had laughed at him for writing a message to Dove. In reality, Finn wasn't asking the letter for himself. He was asking it for him so it could be given to Piper from him.

"You LIED to me!" Aerrow seethed. Finn just smirked.

Aerrow should've listened to his instinct call when he was leaving Finn alone on the Condor. Now he was having great regrets.

"Finn," Aerrow's voice was threatening now, "If…something bad comes between me & Piper because of this, I promise, I will dump you in the wastelands personally."

"Aerrow, stop thinking pessimistically. Be an optimist…just like you always are." Finn said by throwing up his hands in the air.

"We have to retrieve that letter from her room before she gets it. C'mon." Aerrow ignored his comment & said. Finn frowned & tried to say something but he was already forwarding towards his door.

Finn grumbled & reluctantly followed him out of the room. But deep inside, a small voice told him that Aerrow won't be getting his hands on the letter. & he was hopeful for that.
