Chapter: 1 "Arrival"

"Where am I?" said a young girl. She awoke in, what appeared to be, a changing stall. She was surrounded by three tiled walls with the last wall being a shower curtain, separating her from the outside. She peeked through the curtain and found herself at a beach.

"What am I doing at the beach?", she thought as she began to step out of the stall and onto the sand, but quickly retreated, realizing she wore nothing but her lingerie. "Where are my clothes!", she yelled in her head.

She put her back against the wall and slid down into a crouch. "How did I even get here?", she sighed, "Well, no use sitting here half-naked. I got to improvise for clothes." She looked at the shower curtain with an impish smile and said, "It's a good thing I watch a lot of cartoons."

Little did she know, she was in Tropica. And not too far away were the Storm Hawks having some 'R & R' time. The whole Storm Hawks crew was just relaxing under the shad. All was peace and quiet until Radarr broke the silence. He was asleep at Aerrow's feet until he was aroused by an alien scent.

Sniffing the air, he jumped on Aerrow's gut, waking up the red head. Then the little monkey jumped on the heads of his other teammates, like skipping stones, and waking them up as well.

"Hey, Radarr, what's up? Something bothering you?", Aerrow asked, getting up.

"Yeah, Radarr, What's the big deal waking us up like that?", Finn asked, very annoyed.

Radarr ignored them. He was still interested in the unfamiliar aroma. He began to follow it. "Radarr, where are you going?", Aerrow asked, following his little furry friend. The rest of the Storm Hawks followed along.

The girl from before sat on the trunk of a low bended palm tree. She was dressed up this time. She used the shower curtain from the stall as a makeshift dress by simply wrapping it around her body like a towel. She used a smaller towel she found as a waist band, which held her outfit together.

Thoughts of her home floated in her mind as pressed her feet into the sands below. "Feels almost like Ypao beach back home," she thought, "only …this isn't home. This isn't Guam. So…where in the world am I?"

Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt something tickling her feet. She looked down to see what it was. Her eyes widen in shock when she saw THE Radarr at her feet. She let out a scream as she kicked her feet up, which caused her to loose her balance and fall backwards off the tree.

Radarr just stood there with his head tilted in confusion. Aerrow and the others soon caught up with him. "Hey, Radarr," Aerrow called to him, "did you find what you were sniffing for?"

Radarr nodded and pointed to the tan girl with dark hair, wearing a shower curtain dress, getting up from behind the palm tree. Aerrow walked up to the girl with his hand out to her. He greeted her and said, "Hi, I'm----

"Aerrow!", the girl interrupted, "Sky Knight and leader of the Storm Hawks!" She pointed at Radarr. "And Radarr, your furry companion and co-pilot!"

Aerrow and Radarr just stood there speechless. Then things got even weirder when the strange girl started walking towards them. Her eyes were so concentrated on them. This made them feel very uncomfortable and started walking backwards, trying to make some space between them and her. But she still kept coming. "Umm…You're kind of invading my personal space.", Aerrow said, nervously. The girl didn't seem to listen to him.

Piper, on the other hand, did not like this one bit. Teeth gritted and fist clenched, she stomped angrily towards the girl, who, to her, seemed to be very interested in Aerrow.

"Dude, this is not going to be pretty.", Finn whispered to Stork and Junko, who nodded in agreement.

Aerrow's back was the trunk of a palm tree with Radarr hiding behind his leg. The girl's eyes were still concentrated on him. Her face was six inches from his.

Suddenly, she felt a hand grabbed her shoulder. It forced her to turn around, and she found herself face to face with Piper. "Okay, you Tropican Floozy!", Piper yelled at her, "Who are you and what do you want with Aerrow!!"
