Disclaimer: I don't own StarFox. Simple as that.
One day, the Great Fox was just cruising along. The aparoid menace was long gone so everyone was, you guessed it, bored to death. None of them could think of anything to do. It was torture, or it was until one day.
Of all things to break on the Great Fox, it had to be the temperature regulator. It somehow got busted so instead of it being all nice and cool, it was summer heat wave hot! Slippy tried everything to fix it but to no avail. They would have to fly practically all the way across the Lylat System from their location to...Venom. It was Venom because they saw a commercial selling temperature regulators at unbelievable prices. Being as gullable as Fox was, he ordered that they go to Venom to get a replacement since Slippy was pretty much useless right now.
It was around nine in the morning and everyone was sitting around in the den area, trying to cool off. Krystal and Falco were laying on the couch, Slippy was sitting at a table working on blueprints, and Fox was standing by a window, banging his head on the window, " Please let us get there soon God. I know you exist! If you take us there quicker, I swear i'll go to church regularly and pray every night. " Slippy looked at him, " No you won't. " Fox glared at him and threw a nearby book at him, it ironically being the Bible, " Shut up! " Slippy fell uncocnious after being hit with the Bible, which was the huge size version. Fox blinked, then shrugged and went back to staring out the window like a mindless zombie.
Krystal and Falco were staring at Fox. Krystal's fur was completely soaked with sweat. Falco's feathers were in the same condition. They pretty much were mindless zombies. The heat had fogged their brains so anything they did or said was slow and drawn out, they acted like they were drunk. Fox and Slippy, however, had a high tolerance for heat so they weren't bothered by it. " Not fair.." Krystal whispered to Falco. " Yeah...no fair...I swear i'm gonna die in this heat.." Krystal sat up and looked at Falco, " You have it easy..try having to wear a fur coat and not being able to take it off..." Falco looked at her, then stared at the ceiling. She did as well.
Fox looked at them, a huge bruise now on his head from repeated banging on the window, " Come on guys, it can't be that bad. " They glared at him and chucked pillows at him as hard as they could. Fox screamed like a little girl then ran off to his room. Falco then said, " Man...wish this heat wasn't here...then I could have fully enjoyed that..." Krystal nodded slowly, " Yeah...same here...you don't hear Fox scream like that very often..."
Krystal then got an idea, " If you need me..i'll be standing in front of the fridge...with the doors open.." She slowly got up and drunkedly walked to the kitchen, accidentally running into walls on the way there. Falco got up and walked to the kitchen also, though having enough balance not to run into walls. They eventually reached the fridge and opened both the freezer door and the fridge door. " Ahhhh..this is heaven..." Krystal said. Falco nodded slowly.
After about an hour, they were still there. Krystal noticed something then, " Hey...there's moldy papayas in the back of the fridge..." Falco looked at them, " Yeah..." Krystal blinked slowly, " Wonder who's they are..." Falco shrugged, " Probably Slip's and he forgot...again.." She nodded slowly, " Ah. "
After yet another hour, they were still there. Small chunks of ice now replaced sweat as they stood there, enjoying every minute of this, even the freezer burn. Their eyes were half closed and they stood like they were in a dreamlike trance standing up. Then, the fridge broke. Falco blinked, then poked it. It didn't start up again. Krystal kicked it and it still didn't start up, " Damnit..." Falco shook his head, " Now what do we do?..." Krystal looked around slowly then noticed the sink, " We can douse ourselves with cold water..." Falco shook his head, " Nah we can't...Fox said we broke the showers when we tried that.." Krystal shook her head, " Fox just said that to keep the showers to himself..damn water hog...I mean we can use the sink..."
Falco stared at her, then grinned slowly. They walked over to the kitchen sink and turned the water on as cold as they could get it. Krystal then dunked her head in the stream of water that came out, then took the sprayer and sprayed Falco with cold water. ( a/n: let's just say in here you can use both at the same time here. )
" Ahhh...now this is heaven... " they both said. Krystal then accidentally sprayed water on the white part of his suit and it showed his abs and six pack. ( a/n: Everyone's wearing the same outfit from StarFox Assault here. )
She would have drooled but couldn't since she had barely enough body fluid in her to live. She had never really noticed how hot Falco was or that she felt...attracted to him. Sure, Fox saved her on Sauria but he was too much of a bossy and whimpy vulpine for her tastes. Falco, however, was sarcastic, brave, and obviously strong. She liked that in a guy.
After they changed spots and Falco was spraying her with water, he noticed how pretty she actually was. He could see why Fox had rescued her on Sauria. The way her blue fur really brought out her eyes surprised him. He liked how she had a sense of sarcasm and humor. He didn't mind being around her. He didn't know how she felt about him though so he didn't mention anything. Besides, if he even hinted that he liked Krystal, Fox would he whooping his ass so hard it wouldn't even be funny.
Then they ran out of cold water and it changed to hot. They shut off the water quickly after several yelps of pain from both of them. Then then headed back to the den area when Falco noticed Krystal looking at his abs. He blushed slightly, though his feathers hid it. Krystal then noticed he was watching her and looked away quickly, staring ahead of her. Falco didn't have time to feel depressed though. Krystal then leaned to the side and ended up against him. Whether it was the heat or on purpose, he didn't mind. They both stopped and looked at each other for a long time. They were about to lean in when suddenly...
What do you guys think? I got this idea one day and decided to write it. This is my first humor story so bear with me if you think I suck. I'll try to do better. Please read and review. I would love some ideas on how they can beat the heat. Thanks and have a great day.
