Fox was wandering around the Crane mansion, looking for someone. His Aunt Sheridan. He'd always liked her when he was growing up. She was the nicest to him. He wanted to go talk to her about something. He knew she'd help him out.
After a few minutes of searching, he found a door marked "Private." Well, he just had to find out what was behind that door; it was in his nature. Fox didn't even bother trying the doorknob. If he knew his father Julian, it was locked. And locked tight. Using a credit card or any other simple method wasn't going to open that door. He realized he didn't have the time right now to worry about it though.
He left the door and continued on his quest for Sheridan. He walked past the Crane library, and found Rebecca. He walked in and asked her where Sheridan was. Rebecca told him she was probably at the Crane cottage, since that's where she lived. He thanked her and was on his way.
He reached the cottage and knocked on the door. She seemed slightly less than thrilled to see him, especially since she was only wearing a robe.
He heard Luis yell from the bedroom, "Who's at the door, Sheridan?"
"It's only my nephew, Fox." She yelled back to him. "What do you want, Fox?"
"I need your advice, Aunty Sheridan." He let himself in, and sat on the couch. "I've got girl troubles."
"You've got girl troubles?" She couldn't believe Fox, who was always so sure of himself, had girl troubles.
"Yep. Can you help me out?"
"You want my help?"
"Yes."
"And it can't wait?"
"No."
"All right, what is it?"
Before Fox could tell her, Luis came out of the bedroom, also only wearing a robe. Sheridan giggled at the sight of him, since he was wearing her pink fluffy robe. "What do you want, Fox?"
"Nice robe, Luis. I'm here to get some help from my Aunty Sheridan. I've got girl problems."
"You?" Luis stared at him in disbelief.
"Surprising, I know."
"Well, what is it? Maybe I can help." Luis just wanted to get rid of Fox quicker.
"See, there's this girl I like. But I don't know if she likes me back. And since everyone here in Harmony doesn't seem to like me much, she probably hates me."
"What a surprise." Luis said.
"Fox, maybe you should try being nicer to people. You're too devious and sneaky. That's why people call you 'Fox'."
"Hmm. You make a good point Aunty. I'll try that. If there's anything else I need, can I come back?"
"Uh, sure. I guess so." Sheridan was a little baffled at the fact that Fox wanted her help. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all.
"Thanks. I've got to run, see you guys later!" Fox left the cottage before Sheridan or Luis could bid him farewell.

Fox was sitting in his room pondering over what Sheridan had told him. He should be nicer to the girl he liked. It was a strange thought. He had been taught as he grew up that he was a Crane, and from his father's acts, the Cranes were not nice people. They were devious and sneaky, and did whatever it took to get what they wanted. "But why?" he wondered, "You could probably get what you wanted by being nice too. And save yourself a lot of trouble along the way." See, this is exactly why he liked Sheridan. She was so smart.
He learned along the way that the way to winning a woman's heart was to find out her interests and then use that to bond with her. He had to talk to someone to find out what she liked. Theresa could help him with this, since no one else probably would. She was the only one who liked him at all.
So Fox started wandering around the Crane mansion again, this time looking for Theresa. He bumped into one of the maids and asked her. She gave him directions and he was on his way.
When he reached her room she was holding little Ethan. "Theresa?"
"Fox. Hi. Come on in, have a seat." She greeted him with a smile.
"Thanks." He took a seat. "I need your help with something. It's about a girl. I like her a lot and I'd like to know her better. I want you to tell me some of her interests so I can bond with her." Fox was a little nervous, he had never asked for someone else's help with this kind of stuff before.
"Well, sure! I'd love to help you Fox. Just tell me who she is and I can tell you a bit about her." She leaned forward eagerly. "So who is it? Who's the lucky girl you've got a crush on?"
He paused a moment. "Well, I've only seen her at the engagement party. And I only heard her talking and stuff. I've never actually met her. It's Kay Bennett."
Theresa squealed. Fox was not expecting that at all, it hurt his ears a little. "You like Kay? That's awesome!" she started to think of Kay's interests.
"So what does she like?"
"Well, let's see. She's in love with Miguel." Theresa had a look on her face that told Fox he would have one hell of a time trying to get Kay to think of someone, or something, other than Miguel.
"Hmm, another man. This is no trouble. I can sweep her off her feet so fast, she won't know what hit her." Fox looked confident. He'd had lots of experience charming girls he wanted.
"Wow. I sure hope you know what you're doing, Fox. Kay is madly in love with Miguel. It's all she ever talks about."
"Theresa, step-mommy, don't worry. I can handle this, easy. So what are some of her other interests?"
"You know, I'm not really sure, Fox. I'm not that close to her. You should just try talking to her first. Just say hi and start a light conversation. Be charming. Makes sure she gets the hint that you want to get to know her better."
"Okay. That sounds like a good plan. Thanks, Theresa. You've been a big help." Fox smiled at his step-mommy.
"Anytime Fox. I'm here for you, okay?" She smiled back.
"Okay. Bye."
Fox left her room and went into his own to ponder what he would say to Kay when he started charming her off her feet.
By nightfall he had a plan. Tomorrow he would start to execute it. "She won't know what hit her," he thought to himself with a devious look on his face.
