A/N: Here is the edited version of chapter 2, I hope you enjoy.
The night sky was dark around them other than the distant bright lights of different terras, Piper's heart was beating at a mile a second as leaned against Aerrow's taut frame, even just his gentle breathing was soothing to her. "Let's hope it's only minor" Aerrow said to Piper making her snap out of her reverie.
"We should probably head back now" She replied softly.
"Are you sure? We may be able to work it out now." He murmured into her ear making her shiver involuntarily.
"You need to get to bed I know you are really tired, but I am glad that you came out here to see if I was ok."
"No problem." He said and turned his skimmer around, Piper let out a contented sigh and Aerrow smiled to himself, she definitely did not mean to do that, anyway, there was no reason for her to be snuggling deeper into his chest, her breathing deepened as she fell asleep and he smiled and placed a soft kiss on the top of her head.
Aerrow landed his skimmer and picked Piper up, she stirred slightly and tried to protest, "Ae-Aerrow I can walk."
Aerrow grinned, "No Piper, I insist, you are exhausted and the ride has woken me up." Piper struggled for a moment but then decided not to struggle any longer and allowed Aerrow to carry her.
"Hey Piper," Piper looked him in the eyes and murmured a, "mmm?"
"If you need to talk to someone about anything or stuff like that just let me know even if it is really late at night, I'm always here for you."
Piper smiled sleepily, "thanks Aerrow, I'll keep that in mind." She squeezed him tight as he hugged her back. They stayed like that for a time, staring into each other's eyes trying to calculate what was going on between the two of them.
"Goodnight Piper," Aerrow murmured and placed a kiss on her forehead before walking away
"Goodnight Aerrow." She whispered as she watched him walking away.
The next day Aerrow rolled over in his sleep and mumbled something about Terra Tasty and he rolled again, this time falling off of his bed just as he whispered, "Piper." He woke up suddenly and attempted to stretch but he recoiled at the pain in his side from falling on it, he began to laugh hard just before he heard a gentle knock at his door as a voice said, "Aerrow, are you awake?"
"Come in," he called out, ensuring that it would be loud enough for the invader of his sleep to hear. Piper came in looking extremely worried, "Piper, what's the matter? Are you ok? Did something happen?"
"I couldn't get to sleep," she whispered and hung her head thinking she had disturbed his sleep, "I'm sorry for waking you up Aerrow."
Aerrow placed a finger on his lips and shushed her softly, "It's ok, I woke myself up." He laughed softly and stood, then sat on the edge of his bed, opening his arms to her. Piper ran into his arms and Aerrow wrapped his arms around her as she pressed her head against his chest and cried.
Finn and Junko were running around the bridge, Finn holding a teddy bear yelling, "Junko's got a new teddy bear I found him sleeping with it!" Junko was yelling at him to give it back to him before he throttled his backside till he couldn't sit for a month. Finn stopped when he saw Aerrow come out of his room, "Aerrow, where are you going?" He asked inquisitively.
Aerrow looked up like he had only just realised that they were there, "I'm going for a ride, I need to find something important."
Finn looked at him seriously, then he smiled to himself, "Do ya' want some help with that ol' buddy ol' pal?"
"No thanks Finn, I can find it on my own."
"Awww but Aerrow are you sure-"
"I said no Finn, I can find it on my own."
"Ok," Finn muttered to himself as he watched Aerrow walk out.
Piper entered the room just as suddenly as Aerrow had left and watched the door shut softly behind him and looked inquisitively at Finn who was still holding Junko's teddy, "Where is Aerrow going?" she asked.
"He said he had to go look for something," Finn replied with a hint of mischievousness behind the serious look in his eyes.
"Oh and Finn, you may want to give that teddy back to Junko before someone gets the wrong idea." She grinned as he threw the bear away from himself and rushed to wash his hands of the adorableness of the teddy.
Aerrow got on his skimmer and pulled away from the Condor, "What'll help her sleep." He muttered to himself, there had to be something that he could get, not like sleeping pills, but something that would make her more comfortable, then he got it. He turned his skimmer and headed towards Terra Atmosia. "Yes," he muttered. "That'll do it!"
Aerrow pulled back onto the Condor and got off his skimmer, pulling a massive quilt and a pillow that felt like a marshmallow out of a compartment of the skimmer he quietly made his way to the bridge looked around the corner and saw Stork at the controls of the Condor focussing intently on something that Aerrow wasn't perfectly sure what it was.
"Stork" Stork turned around "is Piper in the room?" Stork turned around and simply shook his head, "do you know where she is?"
"In her room at the moment I-I think." He muttered the last part and then returned to his console.
"Ok thanks Stork." Finn came racing into the room as he heard Aerrow's voice.
"Hang on a second Aerrow, where did you go earlier?"
"To buy something that I needed."
"Ok, what did you get?"
"None of your business Finn, go find something to keep yourself busy for a while ok?"
"Fine." Finn mumbled and walked away slowly.
Piper heard someone knocking at her door and muttered sleepily, "Come in."
Aerrow walked into the room looking nervous and she perked up instantly, "what's wrong?" She asked inquisitively, "And what is that behind your back?" she watched him twitch as he held the items concealed behind himself.
"Nothing much, I just brought a couple things for you." Aerrow said holding out the pillow and the quilt, Piper squeezed the pillow "it's so soft I'm going to die!" and she fell giggling onto the bed happily curling up around the pillow. "It's just like a marshmallow," Piper said through her giggles as Aerrow watched on laughing with her.
