“Piper’s really quite pretty. I’ve never really noticed before. It must be difficult for her, y’know? Being the only girl on the Condor.”
Finn frowns in confusion at Aerrow’s offhand comment. “Huh? Piper isn’t a girl. Not really. I mean, it’s . . . Piper.”
Aerrow’s face is deadpan.
“Exactly my point.”
“Dude, why are you telling me this? If you think she’s so pretty all of a sudden, ask her out.”
Aerrow laughs abruptly at Finn’s response, causing Finn to frown even more.
“Me and Piper? Nah. She’s more like . . . like a sister. It just wouldn’t work.”
At the end of his sentence, Aerrow jumps up from his seat, and Finn vaguely notices that something falls off the table in the commotion. As the red-head walks away he pauses in is steps, appears to rethink something and calls back “Whatever. It was just a thought.”

“-ve you seen it?”
Finn jerks at the sound of Piper’s voice filtering in to his perception, and lets out an unsteady “What?” in response.
Piper sighed in bubbling frustration.
“I said have you seen the crystal I was working on? I left it over here earlier but now I can’t find it.”
Something jumps in Finn’s conscious, and he’s reminded of the object that fell off the table earlier. The blonde looks down, and sure enough, there’s a small crystal on the floor, coloured a soft turquoise.
“Is this it?”
Piper glances up from where she was crouched down on the floor, and her face lights up at the object in his hand. When she stands to take the crystal, she positively beams at Finn, and he suddenly finds it much more difficult to breathe than before, the words he was about to say getting stuck in his throat.
“Ah! There it is. Thanks, Finn - you’re a lifesaver.”
After a small pause Piper begins to look a little uneasy.
. . . And Finn realizes he’s staring at Piper like a love struck loser. He tries to kick start his brain to say something, anything, and finally he blurts out “Uh . . . that would be great.”
Piper frowns.
“What would be great?”
“Uh, I mean, ‘That’s great’.”
Amusement begins to tug at the corner of Piper’s lips.
“You being a lifesaver?”
Finn’s cheeks flush awkwardly.
“No, uh, you finding the, er, crystal. Yeah. Good job! . . . To us.”
Piper laughs, ruffles Finn’s hair and wanders off into another room.
. . . Thankfully not seeing the dark flush staining Finn’s cheeks and the stupid grin on his face.
End.
