Toot toot all abord the personal nostalgia train. Canon is Storm Hawks

[crystalfangirl]

Yeah. Cute username. I guess if you want to reduce an appreciation for the important Sky Knights and explorers of Atmos to "fangirling" then fine. Whatever!

And I don't even care that you don't have anything for me to actually do right now! It's not like it matters! Things would be the same with or without you...

...Because who even remembers the Storm Hawks anyway. [depressed sigh]

I know at least one person.

[crystalfangirl]

Aerrow!

[Piper and her mun are cheered up immensely]

I didn't think I'd see anyone from Atmos here!

[neverthelimit]

Me neither. My mun said she saw Stork around a long time ago, but...

[He shakes his head. That can wait. Storm hawks reunited wooo]

It's good to see you, Piper.

[crystalfangirl]

Well...It is Stork. Sometimes you just don't know with him, right?

[She gets it. Seeing Aerrow was a lot more than she hoped for.]

It's really good to see you too. [In fact, have a hug, Aerrow.] How've you been?

[neverthelimit]

[He'll be hugging her right back, with a comforting pat on the shoulder as they pull away.]

I've been... okay. Worried about you, to be honest. [A beat.] I mean - about everyone. Mostly you. I'm just glad to know you're okay. And that... not everyone forgot about us, you know?

[crystalfangirl]

[She grins and shakes her head fondly at him, chucking him lightly on the shoulder.]

C'mon, you worried after everything we've been through? I think we can handle a little...downtime.

[Piper isn't always the best at expressing when she's feeling bad, but she can't help but break eye contract for just a moment on "downtime." She's missed it, him and their adventures and just...not being ignored.]

I guess...we're just not used to not always having some heroics to do, huh?

[neverthelimit]

We had a big job ahead of us. It's... weird, having that taken away at the last minute.

Although it does make you think - what if Cyclonis is here? Or - the Dark Ace, or... something new. There's always another adventure, Piper. Maybe we just have to find it.

[Okay, so maybe he misses the action more than he's willing to admit.]

[crystalfangirl]

Yeah...You know, I bet we can find something just as amazing as the Far Side. And I'm sure there are tons of people who could use our help!

And if we do run into Cyclonis or Dark Ace again, who knows? It's a big world. Maybe we'll find crystals they've never even heard of!

[It feels good to be optimistic again. Someday he'll have to teach her how he lifts spirits like that]

[neverthelimit]

Well, I've heard stories. Places past the exosphere. Strange islnads and cities that don't let anyone leave. Castles with lives of their own - tt's pretty crazy out there.

I guess the only thing stopping me is wanting to find the rest of the Storm Hawks. Maybe they're out there somewhere, too. [He does his best.]

[crystalfangirl]

...You know, if we were to find Finn anywhere, a castle would be the perfect place to start. And Stork sure seems to love mysterious cities...

Personally, I think finding our friends seems like the best adventure we could have.

[neverthelimit]

Good point.

Maybe I've been sitting around too long. After all, why should anyone remember the Storm Hawks if we don't do anything? [You always put the pep back in him. Cheering up is one thing, but enthusiasm is quite another.]

My mundane doesn't have any plans for me so far. But maybe it'd be different with you around.

[crystalfangirl]

[The two of them together make some kind of perpetual energy machine.]

Well, mine doesn't have any plans for me either, but neither of us'd be opposed to making some. [You know how she loves her plans.]

[neverthelimit]

[He droops a little.] Maybe in a week. My mundane is going to be a little busy for a while.

But after that, from what I hear - free rein. I'll be up for anything.

[crystalfangirl]

Oh, yeah...mine will...be on vacation for most of next month. But I'm sure she'll be up for it after!

[She'll try not to look disappointed for you.]

[neverthelimit]

We can get in touch later, then. It's no big deal. [He'll be laying a hand on your shoulder now in that team-leadery way. Or maybe an I-missed-you way. Either works.]

[crystalfangirl]

We've waited this long. [Both works. And she missed you too. A lot, and hopefully her smile will be enough to tell you.]
