Chapter2


Fox felt a little guilty for a moment, for staring, but man she was pretty! There was nothing else to do so he sat down and turned on the TV. As soon as the news anchor's voice filled the room Falco jerked awake. Fox watched as the avain stood up and stretched his back and looked at the clock. The green digits read 10:30. He looked at Peppy, then looked at Fox.

"Every one asleep?"

"Except you and me," Fox said.

Falco blinked a couple more times and looked back at the clock once more before heading to bed. He quietly followed the same path down the hallway his friends had taken earlier.

Fox's mind wandered about. He started thinking about the lack of action with the team, then how it was efecting Falco and how he might leave again. Then he started to think about Krystal. Fox knew he felt a deep friendship with Krystal. And did Krystal feel the same way about him? She was the telepath, not him. He wandered around on the topic for a while. He really needed to get to know her. She'd been on the team for well over a year and a half yet all he really knew is that was from Cernia, which was destroyed, she was searching for the truth about her parents when the met during the Saurian conflict. As he tried to recall more stuff that he knew about Krystal, the more he tried, the more he relised how much he didn't know about her. Fox decided to try something. He'd ask her out to lunch. They were coming in towards Corneria and the timing would be perfect. It was just lunch, but he could get to know her and how she felt. He would ask her in the morning.

Fox got up slowly and turned off the TV. He walked past each of the team members rooms and checked the bio-scans. Slippy's and Falco's said they were asleep, Peppy's said he wasn't even in his room, but Krystal's said she was wide awake. So he knocked.

"Hey can I come in?"

"Sure", she siad.

Fox entered, she was stepping out of the bathroom. She crossed the room and gave Fox a kiss on the cheek. Just to shake things up a bit it seemed. Fox, now grateful for his red fur, spoke.

"Um, hehe, yeah..just seeing how you're doin'. Everyone else is asleep", he managed to choke out. Krystal smiled.

"Ya, Falco doesn't seem too well does he? he wants action so badly, I can sense it." She layed down on her bed.

"No he doesn't. And I'm afraid the only cure is a little action in the Arwing,and we don't need him leaving," He stated. They both were silent at the thought for a minute.

"Well I just came to check on yyou. See you tomorrow I guess." He started out the door. But Krystal got up and stopped him.

"Wait, you wanted to ask me something. Did you forget?"

"Hehe, yeah, Well I wanted to ask you...um.."

"Yess?"

"If you wanted to go to lunch tomorrow mabey, we're docking and it would be nice to get away for awhile, I mean if it's okay with you that is-"

"Sure", she said cutting him off, "I'd love to, meet you on the docks at 11:00?"

Instead of answering, Fox surprised not only Krystal but himself. Never in a million years would he believe he would do it until that moment. But he leaned forward an gently kissed her on the lips. A great kiss that any girl would appreciate. The let go gently and just looked at each other.

"That sounds nice, see you there." Fox said stepping out of the room.

The door shut silently as Krystal sat back down on her bed and Fox headed to his room. They both felt some sense of acomlishment as they the fell asleep. It finally seemed they were moving foward.
