A young female fennec vixen laid on her bed, a teen-magazine laid in front her. Though, her light-brown orbs scanned over the images and story lines within the magazine; her mind laid elsewhere on a certain sapphire falcon. She blinked as she reread over the same line twice before she chuckled to herself, Foxy get a hold of yourself, girl. He'll be back in a few days, he said he would.

Still even if she thought that to herself, she missed his jokes and the smart comments he made towards her when she was working. She soon closed the teen-magazine as she sat up, dangling her legs over the side of the bed before she stood. Her bones crackled as she stretched, feeling relaxed then as she started towards the door.

As she started for the automatic door, it opened to reveal a light-violet colored vixen. Her large tipped ears rose up in surprise as she spoke, "What do you want Krystal?"

The female light-violet vixen smirked as she opened the door to face her best friend, "Falco's on the line. He wants to speak with you."

Foxy's face lit up as she grabbed Krystal's wrist and dragged her down the corridor into the main-frame structure of the GreatFox. Krystal did all she could to keep up with the happy struck fennec vixen. Then again since Foxy and Falco had been going steady, it was all anyone could do to contain the joy and happiness that either of those two felt. Though, no one complained as it was good to see Falco smile again after Kat; and it was bonus to see the one shy, timid Foxy become the out-going, strong-willed vixen she was now because of Falco.

When they reached the main-frame structure, Foxy finally let Krystal go as the light-violet vixen went to find her lover. She found him standing in front of one of the large bay windows, staring out at the stars that dotted the galaxy. A smile formed when he felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around his waist.

"How has things been?"

"Falco said things are alright, and that he should be home soon. The raid wasn't as bad as everyone thought it was," came Fox's reply to Krystal's question.

"Hey! Has everyone forgotten me?! Pick up already! I'm getting tired of waiting on this frequency! HEY!"

Foxy paid the two lovers little attention as she heard her own lover's voice coming from one of the headsets sitting on the table. She gave a smirk as she picked it up, "Calm down Falco. Don't get your feathers ruffled up."

A grin crossed the male falcon's face as he heard his vixen's voice. All at once the feeling of being ignored was forgotten, having been replaced with an affection of love and understanding. He calmed himself as he noticed then that his feathers were a little ruffled, but he wasn't about to tell Foxy she was right. No he'd keep her waiting on that answer.

"Oh, very funny Foxy. I forgot how to laugh," came the wise-guy reply from the male falcon.

Though, just by the way he'd said it she knew he wasn't at all mad. More so he was playing back at her as he always did. The smile she'd had from earlier when Krystal had told her he was on the line was still there as they carried on a nice little conversation for a good few hours. Finally, though, Foxy had to ask the question that had been bothering her all day. The one question that had sent her to her room to read that stupid teen-magazine he'd gotten her just before he'd left.

"Falco, when are you coming home?"

There was silence on the other end as static started to take over the channel. Foxy's smile started to fade away as she thought she'd lost him, or much worse mad him angry enough to shut the frequency off. Finally she heard his voice again.

"Foxy, I'll be home within the next few days. Things are going steady here on Sauria. The raiders have been sent packing."

Foxy nodded, then stopped herself, Why are you nodding? He can't see you nod Foxy.

She corrected herself as she answered, "That's great Falco. Be nice to have you back home in a few days then."

Falco gave a smirk as he wasn't telling her the whole truth. But then again why ruin her excitement; he wanted her to be happy. He just didn't want to see her hurt either by his lying. Falco realized he'd jammed himself into a tight corner, with no way out when he really stopped and thought about it. He cursed himself before he heard her voice again, "I'm sorry, what was that Foxy?"

Foxy made a soft humph noise at his loose of interest, "I said I can't wait to see you again. And I know you must be busy so I'll let you go for now. Keep me updated though, okay Falco."

" Alright Foxy I can do that."

Foxy nodded and didn't stop herself this time. She went to end the transmission before she stopped herself and said one last thing, "I love you Falco."

Falco paused as a warm smile crossed his lips, "Love you too Foxy."

With that Foxy was satisfied that he was okay and ended the transmission then. She looked back to Fox and Krystal and gave a warm smile, "Everything's fine. He'll be home in a few days."

Fox nodded as did Krystal. They waited til she left before Fox drooped his ears and only shook his head. Krystal caught on quickly that something was wrong as she placed a hand on Fox's cheek, having him turn towards her, "Fox, what is it?"

"He's not okay Krystal. There's something bigger going on down there on Sauria, and he won't tell me anything. I asked him about it earlier and all he'd tell me is: "it's just not the same place you saved Fox." He wouldn't give me anymore detail. I'm worried about that ace-pilot, he's quick but this time I doubt that's gonna be enough Krystal."

The female light-violet fox's ears folded over a bit as she hugged her lover close to her, "He'll be alright Fox. He has to be."

Fox gave a sigh as he stared out at the galaxy full of soothing stars once more, "I sure hope so Krystal, I sure hope so."
