A/N: Sorry this one took so long I have heaps of projects that I need to finish. Anyway I hope you like it. Thanks to DR BUBBLES and ..Hands for reviewing I should mention that thoughts will now be in italics.

"You're coming with me." The stranger hissed lightly, the sound floating off into the air around the pair. Piper felt all her muscles relax once she realized who it was; she began wriggling out of her captors grip but the arm around her remained firm.

So you want to play that way? Piper thought as she began racking her brain for ways of escaping from her captors grip. Piper tried talking against her captors hand but her voice got swallowed by the hand that held her firm.

Keep calm Piper told herself as no ideas came to mind.

"Time to start moving" her captor moved his hand on Piper's mouth slightly, seeing this as her break Piper quickly tossed her head to the side, freeing her mouth.

"Aerrow," Piper giggled "what are you doing?" Aerrow pulled Piper closer to him letting her body rest against his lightly while resting his chin on Piper's shoulder.

"This way" Aerrow hissed playfully.

"Why?" Piper managed between giggles. Aerrow smiled as the sound of laughter weaved through the air.

"Your mine" Aerrow whispered, Piper instantly felt heat run across her cheeks, her thoughts scattered around her brain.

"Piper?"

"Mmm" Aerrow smiled as he shook his head at Piper's response.

"Piper?" Aerrow waited for a moment "Piper!" Piper jumped, her mind floating back to reality.

"What?" Piper mumbled her thoughts still elsewhere. Aerrow's smile turned into a smirk. His hands gripped her shoulders, the movement coming naturally to the Sky Knight. Aerrow shock the dazed navigator slightly. Piper squealed as she lost her balance her weight shifting uneasily over her feet. Aerrow moved his hands from Piper's shoulders to her waist to steady her. Piper let out a sigh of relief as she regained her balance. As the crystal mage tried to turn around she realized Aerrow had his hands rested on her hips, unsure of how to react she laced her fingers around Aerrow's wrist's lightly her arms gently moving his hands long enough for piper to turn around to face her Sky Knight.

"Aerrrrroooow" Piper moaned. The drawn out tone in Piper's voice caused Aerrow's smirk to widen.

Piiippper" Aerrow moaned the drawn out tone matching Piper's as he let his arms fall to his sides lazily. Piper let her gaze rest on Aerrow, his forest green eyes hypnotising her. Aerrow let his thoughts wander to the terra that lay around them, his attention turned back to Piper; the Sky Knight shook his head lightly

"Do you want to have a look at your room?" Aerrow tilted his head slightly his gaze staying fixed on hers.

"Huh?" Piper mumbled softly.

"Your room," Aerrow pointed out softly. Aerrow tilted his head to the side more, confused "The thing that you used to sleep in" Aerrow added.

"Oh right that" Piper snapped her fingers before looking down one of the many wooden hallways that made up the tree house, she looked at Aerrow again then nodded before running toward her room. Every movement came naturally to the young navigator as she weaved around boxes and fallen pieces of wood.

Aerrow watched Piper race around a corner before slowly made his way toward his own room, floor boards creaking with each step. Aerrow stopped at a slanted doorway to inspect what lay in front of him. An old mattress to the right looked worn and in desperate need of replacing. To the left a thin piece of wood was held off the ground by rusted pieces of wire, under the plank of wood was a small collection of photos that had been left behind.

"They're still in perfect condition" Aerrow murmured as he made his way to the small collection of photo's, Aerrow folded his legs under himself as he leaned under the low laying plank of wood. A photo of Radarr in a tree smiling nervously caught his attention; Aerrow chuckled to himself as he looked at the chickens bunched around the base of the tree.

"Finn had to shot a rope over to Radarr until he moved from that tree." Aerrow looked over at the next photo. Aerrow was holding wooden swords his legs created a sturdy base as his arms were held out to the sides, his locks of fiery red hair reflected the wild look in the boy's eyes. Finn held is splat blaster out in front of him getting ready to shoot. The young sharpshooter was kneeling, the splat blaster covering most of his face.

I still remember the look on Piper's face when we walked up to her covered in slime. Aerrow let a small laugh escape his lips as he looked over at the last photo, the Sky Knight's smile turned to a grin. Aerrow was sitting on the same mattress that sat behind him, cuts covering his body. Piper was sitting on the floor a roll of bandages in her hands, the first aid kit covered the floor.

"I looked like a mummy" Aerrow chuckled lightly. Aerrow eyes scanned the room for a moment.

In a world full of memories we must keep the most precious ones close to our hearts. Aerrow paused for a moment confused by the voice that echoed through his mind before shacking his head lightly as he stood up reaching his arms over head, flexing his back, his muscles stretching happily. Aerrow lowered his arms before falling onto the old mattress, sending dust into the air. Aerrow coughed from the dust, his hand waving at it dismissively. After the dust had settled Aerrow looked around the room, the dust created a thick blanket on the wooden floor of the teen's room. Aerrow sat up shaking the dust off as he did; he then ran his hands through his fiery red hair causing more dust to fling into the air. Satisfied that most of the dust was gone the Sky Knight stood up. Aerrow paused as the sound of rushed footsteps echoed around the hallways, creeping into the rooms fading the further it went.

"I can't believe were back here after all this time" Piper squealed in delight as she ran through the doorway of Aerrow's room, throwing her arms around Aerrow's neck causing the Sky Knight the stumble back onto the worn mattress. Piper falling on him softly,

"Sorry" Piper said quickly as she rolled off the Sky Knight to lay next to him. Aerrow turned his head, dust catching in his hair.

"That's ok" Aerrow smiled at her as he ran his fingers along Piper's jaw line softly. Piper felt her skin tingle under the gentle touch, a small smile formed on Piper's face as Aerrow rested his hand on her cheek. Piper nodded at Aerrow as she sat up slowly while running her hands through her midnight black hair, shaking out the dust. Aerrow waved the dust away with his hand carelessly as he began sitting up. Piper looked into Aerrow's eyes; the deep greens reflected the tones of the leaves that provided shelter for the young couple.

"It's great to be back" Piper beamed, the joy in her topaz eyes infecting Aerrow.

"Sure is" Aerrow wrapped her arms around Piper, pinning her arms to her sides. Aerrow took a deep breath in, Piper's smell intoxicating his lungs. A sense of calm washed over him for a moment until Aerrow picked up another scent.

"It's going to rain" Aerrow said while placing his hands on Piper's shoulders softly.

"What?" Piper cried out in alarm "we have to take care of the shutters." Piper stood up quickly, Aerrow's hands slid off her shoulders lightly.

"I'll close the one's on the west and you take the east" Piper nodded before running to the east shutters. Aerrow ran to the west, his strides felt hesitant as he caught sight of storm clouds rolling toward the Terra. With a few more strides he reached a small metal lever, paint peeling off from years of use. Aerrow looked at the gathering clouds what's the time? Aerrow thought as he turned his attention to the lever and pulled hard.

"Move" Aerrow grunted as he pulled harder, the handle moved slightly. Aerrow jumped as he heard metal creaking into place. Aerrow looked over at the east shutters as they closed; a feeling of neglect covered the shutters.

"Aerrow," Aerrow looked up to see Piper running toward him.

"It won't budge" Aerrow said as he released his grip on the handle, a half defeated sigh passed his lips. Aerrow and Piper jumped as lightning streaked the sky, causing the darkness to scatter in its wake.

"I wonder where the Condor is" Aerrow reached for the handle again his hand gripping the handle firmly.

"I don't know" Piper reached for the handle her fingers closing around it gracefully. Aerrow placed his other hand above Piper's lightly as Piper reached for the handle with her other hand, placing it near the base of the handle. Lightning cracked again lighting the darkness that was quickly surrounding the Terra. Rain began falling from the sky, the drops hung off the leaves that jolted out from the overhead branches

"Ready?" Aerrow called out against the sound of the storm. Piper nodded her hair whipping around her face. "Pull."
