Author's Note: Well, I really like Wolf x Fox, so I thought I would just try at writing my version of how these stories should go. Please read and review and tell me what you think, even if you just want to flame me. Ha, I guess it's only fair. You might hurt my feelings really badly, though. I really put my all in this.

For no particular reason, Fox wandered around the streets of Corneria, even though the weather on this autumn day was uncomfortably windy.
Speaking of uncomfortable wind, he stuffed his hands in the pockets of his leather jacket and wrapped it around himself, attempting to block out said wind. He shivered slightly, but remained unsure of whether or not it was the cold or the fatigue from the weight on his mind.
Right. That was why he was walking around. Trying to get things off his mind.
"It's not like I have anything better to do, anyway," the vulpine grumbled in his head.
He didn't even have Star Fox, no safe haven of endless adventure in outer space. It was all gone.
'Peppy got promoted and left the team first, then Falco, brash as he is, went off to find more exciting frontiers, guess that our friendship couldn't keep him here,' Fox turned to look in the darkened window of an empty shop.
He sighed. 'Then Slippy went off to live with his girlfriend—I mean, fiancée. I don't think I'll ever get used to saying that,' he let off a small chuckle to himself, 'It was hard to imagine him getting a girlfriend in the first place.'
Suddenly, tears sprang to Fox's eyes. He would be damned if he'd cry. 'And then,' dreading where is train of thought would go—he would be damned if he'd cry, he wouldn't cry: 'and then Krystal …'
A buzzing in his hand interrupted him. It was his cell-phone. He snuffled, fighting back tears, and flipped the phone open.
"H-hello?" he said.
"Fox, is that you?" the voice answering was gruff and familiar.
"General Pepper? What's wrong?" Fox became slightly afraid.
"Ha," the general said, "nothing's wrong, Fox. I just have an urgent matter to speak with you about. I would like you to be in my office in exactly half-an-hour."
"But," Fox started.
"No buts. Show up at my office in half-an-hour, pronto," the other line went click; General Pepper had hung up.
Fox turned his head from the window to catch the sunlight. He couldn't imagine what the general needed him for.
