Fox's Venom of Love
Chapter One
Good Memories
It has been two months since the battle on Hyrule (Read my first story 'When Link meets the Star Fox team' to get where I am talking about) and the Star Fox team has been on Corneria planning the wedding, which is still a month out however Krystal is panicking over everything. Krystal is standing in her bedroom in a nice luxury hotel, which General Peppy had given every member of the Star Fox team until the wedding; she is looking in a vanity mirror and wearing her white dress. Her hair is down and she is brushing and putting her hair up in different ways trying to find the perfect style. She had decided to keep it long after trimming the split ends, but that doesn't help her ordeal right now. She felt that long hair did make her look cuter and gives her options for more styles that she felt made Fox jump out of his skin every time he saw her, which was just fine with her. After the whole Kursed fiasco, she is happy that her and Fox are still so much in love with each other that it makes her smile every time she thinks about it. But of all the styles in the world she can't find one that makes her satisfied for her wedding.
"I give up," Krystal throws her brush behind her with such force it flies over the first bed and lands on the second bed in her room. She lets her hair down and sits on the chair, puts her elbows on the counter and rests her chin in her hands as she looks in the mirror. "What am I going to do?"
On cue a knock came at the door, "Krystal?" It was Katt wanting to check up on her best friend.
Krystal stands up and walks towards the door, "Are you alone, Katt?" Krystal didn't want Falco or Fox seeing her like this, even though Fox had a key to her room. But she knew he wouldn't come in without knocking first.
"Yes, Krystal. What is wrong?" Katt is puzzled on why she would ask that.
With both hands she grabs the door and gently opens it and hides behind it as Katt enters and Krystal is quick to close the door.
"Oh, Katt what am I going to do?" Krystal walks past her and sits back in her chair.
"Krystal, what on Earth?" Katt is looking at Krystal wanting to know why she is dressed up for a wedding that is still a month away.
"Well what am I going to do with my hair?" Krystal points to her hair, which is a mess after her brushing and putting it in styles after styles after styles.
"Krystal," Katt giggles, "You know you still have another month right?"
Krystal gets up and starts to pace back and forth in front of the beds as Katt sat down on the bed closest to her mirror. "Three weeks and three days to be exact."
Katt laughs, "Krystal, you are a nervous wreck."
"Do I look that bad?" Krystal runs back over to the mirror and leans over the chair as she grabs all of her hair and puts it above her head.
"Okay, girl," Katt gets up and grabs Krystal and drags her to the bed and has her sit down, "You need to relax, you have been living in your dress for three days."
"I can't help it," Krystal gets back up and walks towards the window, "I just want to look beautiful for him," she looks out and enjoys the view.
"But you are already beautiful. You still make him crazy every time he looks at you."
Krystal turns around and slips the shoulder straps off and slides the dress off, "Maybe you are right. I just can't believe it is finally happening," Krystal folds up her dress and sets it in the closet and wraps it up.
Katt walks in the closet as Krystal walks out and goes to the bed, "Now that that's settled. We have to talk about tonight," Katt comes back out with Krystal's turquoise dress that Fox bought for her.
"What are you doing?" Krystal looks at her with a puzzled look on her face.
Katt grins at her while holding out the dress, "You are going to put this dress on and then you are going to find Fox."
Krystal has an embarrassed look on her face as she sits on the bed with her red bra and panties on, "What is up your sleeve, Katt?"
"Krystal, you need to relax, and no better way than for you and Fox to spend an evening together."
Krystal grabs the dress and starts to slide it on, "Who says we are going anywhere?"
"I am telling you, he will want to take you out when he sees you all dressed up, I am telling you he thinks the world about you."
Krystal can't help but smile, "I think the world of him too."
After Krystal finally gets her dress on, Katt walks over to the counter where Krystal has her jewelry and pulls out her turquoise necklace and grabs a light blue hair tie.
"What's up with the light blue?" Krystal asks her.
"It matches your eyes and Fox loves it when you wear this necklace," Katt has Krystal get up and sit in front of the mirror so she can put on her necklace for her.
As Krystal sits there with a smile on her face, Fox bought me that necklace, it has so many memories, she thinks to herself as Katt begins to brush Krystal's hair. She puts the top half of her hair in a ponytail and keeps the rest of her hair down and gently brushes it, "You look beautiful, Krystal."
Krystal sighs as she forgets her worries and stands up, slips on her shoes and walks back towards the bed, "So what are we doing tonight?"
"Oh there isn't any plans yet," Katt smirks at her.
Krystal is more confused as ever, "I thought you said Fox wanted to take me out tonight."
"Yeah after he sees you he will," Katt smiles as she gets up and pushes Krystal towards the door.
"Katt," Krystal tries to stop her but Katt's persistence gets the better of her as Krystal now finds herself outside her hotel room and Katt closes the door on her and deadbolts it. Krystal knocks on the door asking Katt to open the door when right on cue another door across the hallway opens up.
"Krystal?"
Krystal stops and turns around as a familiar vulpine is standing there, "Hi, Fox." Krystal tries to cover up her embarrassment, with no such luck.
Fox is standing there with a red t-shirt black blazer and black jeans on as if he was ready to go out as well, "You…" Fox can't help but look up and down over her body, "…look beautiful." Fox shakes his head to try to get his mind out of the gutter but continues staring, "I mean….wow, Krystal."
Krystal turns her head as she smiles, "Thank you, Fox. Did you have plans tonight?"
"Naw, I was going to walk down to the lobby and see if we have any mail and I thought about paying Peppy a visit but other than that…I mean do you have plans tonight? You look all dressed up."
"No, Katt just told me to wear this and…" Krystal doesn't want to give Fox all of the answers but she don't want to lie either.
"Well, Krystal, would you like to join me and we go get dinner and take a walk or something?"
Krystal walks towards Fox and gives him a gentle hug, "I'd love too," Krystal then gives Fox a kiss on the cheek.
Fox smiles as he holds his arm up so Krystal can wrap her hands around him as they walk down the hallway towards the elevator, "I am going to take you on the town, Krystal."
Krystal relaxes herself as she gets ready for an amazing evening.
Katt walks out of Krystal's room as Falco comes out of Fox's. "Those two," Katt leans on the door after closing it behind her.
"No kidding," Falco glances over at Katt, "So let's go get dinner."
Katt gives Falco a playful look, "Are you asking me on a date, finally?"
Falco's face expression turns to more of a shocked look, "No way, I just want to go get some tacos and I didn't feel like eating alone tonight."
Katt laughs as she pats Falco, "Well in that case, let's get some tacos."
Meanwhile on Venom, Panther Caroso; member of the Star Wolf team, is making his way into the Imperial Palace wanting an audience with Emperor Dash Bowman.
"Halt, identify yourself." One of the two imperial guards posted outside the Emperor's throne room said to the big cat. The guards were big and muscular, each with a Venom uniform and Dash's insignia on each of their helmets.
"I am Panther Caroso, I wish to speak with Dash," Panther pats his blaster to let the bigger guards know that he won't be taken down either.
The other guard speaks into his collar "Master, a Panther Caroso is here to see you."
After a good ten seconds go by the guards begin to open the door, "The master says he will see you."
Panther growls in acceptance and walks into the throne room.
"My old friend, Panther. Or are you my friend?" Dash stands up off of his throne and walks down a ramp to confront him. "Last time I checked, Star Wolf can't be trusted. You are sometimes on my side, sometimes you are on Fox's side and all the time you are on your own side. Which of it is it today?"
"A friend," Panther extends his hand.
"A friend eh? Why should I trust you?"
"Because we both have a mutual benefit: The end of the Star Fox team."
Dash scratches his chin, "Interesting, but again, why should I trust you? Last time I checked you ended with good terms with the Star Fox team. And where are Wolf and Leon?"
"I am alone on this one. Yes I did leave with good terms with the Star Fox team however there is something personal that has brought me here today."
Dash claps his hands together, "Personal, eh? That makes it juicy, what is it? If we are to be partners, no secrets."
"Fox and Krystal are getting married next month," Panther keeps his voice soft as he utters those painful words, "I want Krystal."
Dash opens his hands and points to Panther, "So you want Fox out of the way?" Dash is enjoying this opportunity, for he wants to get rid of the Star Fox team as well.
"I feel it would be mutual benefit since you despise Fox for not accepting you on his team because of your ancestry and Falco for saying your skills wasn't good enough to be on his team."
Dash's expression quickly turned to friendly to hostile, "Is that so? Well I'll tell you this, Falco was jealous of my ability and as for Fox, his insight felt like if I was as evil as Andross….he was right, but he didn't know it at the time."
Panther chuckles, "I don't care what happens to Krystal as long as she can't be with Fox."
Dash bats an eye, "So this is more of a 'If I can't have her no one will' kind of thing?"
"Exactly," Panther says with a tone that couldn't get colder.
"I do have an idea, it is something I have been planning ever sense my defeat at Hyrule that will destroy Fox in more ways than one."
Panther has a big smile on his face, "Tell me."
Meanwhile back on Corneria, Fox and Krystal just had the most romantic candlelight dinner at a 5 star restaurant and because of a big military discount, thanks to good ol' Peppy, he could easily afford it. However that wasn't important, what was important was that it was just him and her alone. Fox and Krystal walks across the streets of Corneria hand and hand. They were in silence as they enjoyed the fresh air, the city life and more importantly; each other. A little girl broke the silence as she ran up to them.
"Excuse me," She couldn't be any older than ten, she was a small white rabbit with a small pink dress on. She looked as if she was out to a nice dinner with her folks as well, "Are you Krystal and Fox?"
"Krystal can't help but to smile as she leans down to her level, "Why yes, we are. What can we do for you?"
"Can I have your autograph, Krystal?"
Fox lets out nice chuckle. As Krystal and the young girl talk as she gets her autograph, he can't help but visualize just how good with kids she is and that makes him picture how she will be with their kids.
"Thank you," the girl says after Krystal hands the autograph back, "You look very pretty."
"Aww, well thank you," Krystal rubs the little girl on the head, "you look pretty too."
The little girl gestures for Krystal to come closer as Krystal does the little girl whispers, "I think you make a cute couple."
Krystal looks up at Fox who is still daydreaming and doesn't notice a thing, she lets out a light laugh and looks back down towards the girl, "I think so too."
After the girl leaves and Krystal looks at Fox, "What are you thinking about?"
Fox snaps out of it when he realized Krystal was talking to him, "What?"
Krystal raises an eyebrow as she asks a second time, "What were you thinking about?"
Fox rubs the back of his head, "Oh you know, just how good you are with that kid."
Krystal crosses her arms, "What else, Fox?"
"Well," Fox looks down trying to keep from making eye contact, "you know."
Krystal can read him like a book and she starts to smile, "No, I don't know. Enlighten me."
Fox then shrugs his arms up as he walks ahead of her, "Let's continue our walk."
She shakes her head, boys, and continues walking with him.
As they get to a bridge that is over a small river she stops and looks over the bridge and down at the water and begins to tear up.
Fox looks back and notices her crying and stands next to her, "What's wrong?"
Krystal looks away from him, she hates when he sees her cry, "This bridge gives me a bad feeling."
"Why?" Fox looks around and tries to figure it out before it hit him.
"This is where you kicked me off…" Fox cut her off.
"The team," Fox puts his hand on her shoulder.
"It destroyed me for so long," Krystal begins to shutter but still doesn't look at him.
Fox sighs as he plays a card to cheer her up, "Krystal give me the ring."
Krystal spins around no longer caring about the obvious tears in her eyes, "What?"
"Your engagement ring, give it to me," Fox opens his hand.
Krystal starts to cry even more, "No, Fox please."
Fox shakes his head, "Krystal just do it."
Krystal looks down as she looks at the beautiful 14 karat white gold ring with a genuine diamond and two small sapphires one on each side of the diamond. She slowly takes the other hand and begins to pull it off as this place becomes even worse in her heart. He is breaking up with me again. But why?
"Why are you doing this to me?"
"Because I have to," Fox is realizing just how much he is tearing her up and it is killing him but he feels it will be worth it.
Krystal drops the ring into his hand and crosses her arms and touches her shoulders as she shudders up, "There, you happy now?"
"Thank you, now I have one more thing to say to you."
"I don't want you to say anything more, it is obvious you don't love me," Krystal turns around and begins to walk away.
Fox quickly grabs her wrist, "Wait. You don't understand."
"Let go of me, Fox."
"I wanted to give you a better moment of this place."
Krystal spins back around her eyes filled with tears, "By breaking up with me again?"
"By proposing to you again," Fox says as he gets down to one knee, "Even as you stand there and are crying like a blubbering fool, you are still the most beautiful girl in the galaxy. And you would do me a big honor if you would spend the rest of your life with me. Will you marry me?"
Krystal is still crying as she is smiling, "Fox," she whips her eyes, "that was mean."
"I am sorry, I just want you to have a good memory wherever we are."
Fox grabs her hand and begins to slide the ring back on as she pulls it away, "I never said yes," Krystal turns around and faces away from him.
Fox shocked look turns to worry, "Krystal. But I didn't mean to hurt your feelings; I just wanted to give you a nice memory."
Krystal crosses her arms and looks over her shoulder back at him with her eyes closed, "It still was mean, but still….."
"Still what?" Fox is now the one who is scared that he is going to lose her.
Krystal spins back around with her hands over her heart, "it was really sweet. Give me my ring back," and with that the blue vixen jumps on him forcing him on his back as she give him a big kiss. "Propose to me as much as you want the answer will always be yes." Krystal brings her hands in so Fox can slide the ring back on before she gives him another kiss.
Fast forward the evening as Fox was true to his word on taking Krystal out on the town. After dinner and the bridge fiasco he took her to a nice romantic comedy movie and they are now walking out one of Krystal's favorite ice cream and frozen yogurt store. Krystal is walking out with a nice tub of chocolate chip ice cream as Fox's is filled with blueberry.
"Why is it that you always get blueberry every time?" Krystal asks as she takes another bite of her ice cream.
Fox looks down at his and realizes he does get blueberry every time he is with her, "I don't," Fox is trying to figure out what to say about as something as simple as ice cream, "I guess I never realized that I always get it when you are around."
Krystal giggles, "Oh I get it. The girlfriend changes what ice cream you get it?"
They keep walking down the sidewalk as they enter a small park that leads them back to their hotel. The breeze is gentle and the weather is cool, if you could picture the perfect mood and the perfect setting, this would be better.
"I guess I love the color blue," Fox says as he finishes his ice cream and looks at the beautiful vixen in her turquoise dress, "It is just such a beautiful color."
"I appreciate the compliment, Fox," Krystal does appreciate it but the way she spoke made Fox wonder. They just had the most perfect night and yet she seemed so down all of a sudden.
Fox takes her tub after she finishes and throws them both away in a trash can as they walked towards a park bench, "Would you like to sit down for a minute?"
Krystal wraps her arms around her chest as she shivers and nods her head. She walks to the bench and sits at the end and as Fox sits down next to her she spins to the side drapes her legs over the side and keeps her back towards him.
Fox is utterly confused, "What's wrong? I thought we had a perfect night."
Fox becomes more confused when he hears her starting to cry, "We did."
Fox scratches his head with his left hand as he puts his right hand on her back, "I don't get it. What's wrong?"
Krystal shakes her body as if telling Fox she doesn't want to be touched, "I enjoyed our night. It was the best night I have had in a long time."
Fox tries to be a smart ass even though it probably isn't the best time, "No offense sweetheart, but isn't having a good night I don't know a good thing?"
Krystal turns her body around and faces him, "You have been so good to me and I am the cause of us loosing almost two years of being together."
"Krystal," Fox feels guilty it isn't her that should feel this way but him, "I was to blame for that."
Krystal shakes her head, "No, you don't get it. You saved my life on more than one occasion. You showed me true love for the first time since my parents and planet's destruction. I should have given you at least the courtesy of believing that you had my best intentions at heart, instead I ran and held a grudge so deep that…" Krystal stands up and grabs her hand, "I don't deserve you," Krystal takes her ring off and hands it towards Fox.
Fox chuckles as he stands up and embraces her in a way he hasn't done since they got back together, as she brings her arms together and cries in his chest and all she can do is listen.
"Krystal, you are my world. If anything I don't deserve you."
"Fox…"she begins as she cries but is immediately cut off.
"Krystal, you cannot begin to know how much I regret those years. But we haven't lost it all, we are still young. I just hit 30 and you're barely 26, our whole lives are in front of us. I love you so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
Krystal is silent as she uses his shirt to wipe away her tears.
"Will you stay with me?" Fox asks the crying vixen.
"Of course I will," Krystal looks up as she slides her ring back on, "Will you promise never to leave me again?"
"I'll shoot myself before I do," Fox smiles at her as they share another kiss.
After the kiss, Krystal buries her head in his chest, "Thank you for the best night ever."
Fox hugs her tight, "I don't want it to end."
With that the two lovebirds, or I guess foxes, walked back to the hotel hand in hand.
