The Day
A year has passed since the star fox team defeated the Aparoid queen, and since then, they started doing any kind of work to get money and save it for building a new great fox, Meanwhile they live on a smaller spaceship, but still good and comfortable for them.
Slippy: It's Friday!
Falco: Yeah! Let's watch the football match and drink some beer, grab one Krystal!
Krystal: Uh…Sure
Krystal grabs a beer from the fridge and sees Fox looking through the window with a sad face, like if something bad happened to him, she gets closer to him
Krystal: Fox are you alright?
Fox looks at her and walks away
Krystal: Fox, did I do something wrong?
Fox looks at her and breathes a sigh of sadness
Fox: No Krystal, You're fine, it's just something
Krystal: What is it?
Fox: Nothing, just go drink your beer, I'll got to go somewhere
Krystal: where are you going?
Falco: Krystal!
Krystal turns around sees Slippy and Falco shaking their heads
Slippy: don't ask him that
Whispered Slippy, but Krystal didn't understand what was happening to fox
Fox: Slippy, Falco, you know I'll come back around 11 pm
"Yes" they replied, Fox leaves them and he flew with his arwing straight to Corneria
Krystal: What's wrong with him?
Falco: Don't worry, he's always in a bad mood in this particular day
Krystal: why?
Slippy: because today is ….
Krystal: Is what? Say it now!
Slippy: his father's death anniversary
Krystal was shocked hearing that and in a moment she sat on the chair and doesn't talk for a while
Krystal: I didn't knew that, if I knew the day before, I wouldn't be insisting him to know where he was going
Falco: it's alright; after all you're new in the team
Krystal: but where is he going?
Slippy: he's going to visit his father grave with his mother and sister
Krystal: fox has a mother?
Falco: yeah! Did you really think he's an orphan?
Krystal: No but I'm surprised, because he never talked about his family before
Falco: Of course he doesn't talk about his family, it hurts his feelings
Krystal: why would that hurt him, I mean he still has his family,
Falco: but let's say, his father was basically the heart of the family, he did take fox and his sister to the fair, he always made BBQ for his family and friends, he's the one who encouraged fox to be brave for any situations, he was the one who fox to the movies, he always played catch with fox, and many other things,
Krystal: it must have been hard for fox to overcome his father's death
Falco: of course it was! , didn't you see his face?, it has been 14 years and he's still sad about it! How can you not notice that?
Krystal: I didn't know!
Falco: Sure, because you have your family and your parents are alive!
Krystal hits the table top with her fist and looked angry to Falco
Krystal: My Family is dead! Everyone I knew and loved were killed, and I still feel bad about it, be happy that you still have a family, Falco
Falco: My family? What do you know about them...
Slippy: Guys! Stop it, please, It's Friday, we should be happy, not fighting, let's drink our beers and watch football
"Okay" they said, and they joined Slippy to watch TV and drink beer, meanwhile in Corneria city, on the other side of the city, in a huge cemetery, fox walked around the graveyard until he found his father's grave
Fox thinking: dad it has been 14 years, it seems like it was yesterday that we received the call from the military base saying that you passed away, and I…
"Fox!"
Someone calls him, it was his mother, Helen, a middle aged fox with long brown hair, and there was his older sister, Annie, who looked a lot like fox, but the eye colors were different
Fox: Mom ! I'm glad you're here, I thought you wouldn't be in time
Helen: Honey, it has been months that we didn't see each other, and look at you, still fit
She hugs Fox, and kisses his cheek
Annie: Hey Foxie, what's up ?
Fox: Hi Annie, how's life going?
Annie: Just fine, married, with children and by the way, my son says hi
Fox smiles
After that fox's sister drove him and his mother, with her car to her mother's home
Helen: so Fox! How are things with your team? , I didn't heard anything about you and them since that Aparoid thing invasion,
Fox: Things are fine like usual, Falco is always cocky, Slippy making some crazy inventions and Krystal always pretty
Annie: Right, what about her, are you and her…
Fox: Annie !
He replied nervously
Helen: Are you in a relationship with that girl, fox?
Fox: well ... not yet mom
Annie: you like her, don't you?
Fox: I do! But I'm not sure if she likes me, she's always nice and we always are good along with each other, she really value me and everything, but I'm not sure if she likes me the way I like
Fox's Mother looked at him with a big joyful smile, holds his hand and said
Helen: you don't have to be insecure to know if she likes you, because she does like you, all the things she has done for you, you should really be with her, I would be very proud seeing my son in a relationship, your father would also be proud
Fox: you think so?
Helen: I think so
Fox hugs his mother
When fox came back to the ship, he went straight to his room; meanwhile Slippy and Krystal were sleeping. Falco was the only one awaken now, he was in his room laying in his bed thinking about what Krystal said before, that he should be happy for still having a family, meanwhile his personal hologram calling system started to ring, "you have one call" said the machine, Falco answered and a hologram of a man appears and Falco looked at the guy with his arms crossed, it was his Father, Lorenzo, Falco looked a lot like his father
Lorenzo: Well, Well, Well, if it isn't the cop
Falco: What do you want？?
Falco asked him
Lorenzo: Is that the way to talk with your father？
Falco: Enough talking, just tell me what you want
Lorenzo: Very well, come tomorrow at night to the Flame Club, I'll be waiting for you And the hologram was shut down, "what does he want now？" thought Falco. And went to sleep
