Chapter 3
Home, Finally
As Fox and Whitefur got out of Fox's car Fox looked at him and said "You know, I have the feeling that Krystal is planning something." Whitefur raised an eyebrow "Does it look like Marcus is home?" Fox smiled "No, it doesn't. I'm not good at reading Krystal's signs, so tell me, what do you think she could be planning?" Whitefur shrugged "What are the signs?" Fox looked thoughtful "Well Marcus is…" "DADDY!" Yelled Marcus as he ran towards him from Katt and Falco's driveway, "…Not home." As soon as he finished Marcus was jumping up and down in front of his father, Fox got the message and picked up his son and hugged him. "Hey Marcus, why were you at Katt and Falco's?" Fox was hoping it was because Krystal had sent him there for the night, in which case he was bound to be doing a very enjoyable activity tonight.
Marcus's answer did not disappoint "Momma said that she wanted to be alone with you tonight." Fox smiled and winked at Whitefur who simply smiled and said "Have fun." Then walked to his own house. Fox set Marcus down and said "Alright, have fun at your friend's house." Marcus hugged Fox's leg one more time than ran back to Falco and Katt's house. As he ran Fox smiled I am so lucky to have Marcus for a son, he thought. Walking to the door he turned the key and walked in, rather than being greeted by Krystal's customary 'Hey love.' He heard her yell "Yeah that's right bitch! You can't touch me, BAM head shot biotch!"
Fox couldn't help but laugh "Honey I'm home!" he walked into the living room and glanced at Krystal, she was playing Call of Duty MW2. But there was something strange about the way she was dressed. Fox looked over and immediately understood what was so strange; she was in nothing but a pair of silk underwear. "Uh Krystal, are you trying to tell me something here?" He asked. Krystal smiled "I have to go, Fox and I have some business to attend to." She turned off the 360 and walked over to Fox; she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him passionately. "Well love, the bedroom is looking better all the time." Fox got the hint and the two headed for their room.
When Whitefur came through the door to his house he looked around I wonder where Fara could be hiding with James. He thought as he walked up the stairs. It was about eight o'clock and it was already dark out, when he entered his room he noticed that it was lit by candles only. "Fara?" He looked around "Yes babe?" She answered, he looked in the direction of the voice, Fara was lying on the bed wearing, well she wasn't wearing anything at all. "Fara, I have to ask you…" Fara got up and wrapped her arms around him "What?" Whitefur kissed her "James isn't home, right?" She kissed him back "Nope."
"Aaron get back in bed!" Yelled Falco at the sight of his son running through the house, Katt came and sat next to him. "You can't blame them, how many times do they all get to have a sleep over on a school night?" Falco sighed "Not very often I guess, but why are they even here? Are their parents really that desperate to get them out of the house?" Katt smiled "You probably don't want to know why there here." Falco looked at her "Does it have anything to do with what we aren't doing, but should be doing right now?" Katt ruffled his head feathers "So that's why you're ticked off. Tell you what, tomorrow night you can do whatever you want…" She paused for effect, "…To me." Falco wrapped an arm around her "As long as you do everything to me. By the way, you did know that Foxie's B-day is coming up."
Katt rested her head on his chest "Of course, I hear that Whitefur wants to talk to us about a present that's going to be from all of us." Falco nodded "I should ask what exactly he's getting." Katt looked up at him and said "Yeah but not now, he and Fara are busy." Falco looked at her "Busy, how so?" Katt rolled her eyes "Why do you think James is spending the night?" Falco sighed "Is everyone doing it with their wives but me?" Katt giggled "Yes, but don't worry after what happens tomorrow you'll never complain again." Falco smiled "I'm tired, want to go to bed?" Katt got up "Sounds good, but remember…" Falco sighed "I know no sex."
The next morning Fox woke up and looked at the alarm clock "Ah shit." It was 10:30, Krystal woke up and wrapped an arm around his chest "Who really gives a damn, I want you home." Fox looked at her "Well I guess I'll take a personal day, nothing important is happening. But then again nothing important ever happens." Fox's comm badge which he had left by the bed chirped, grabbing it he pressed and said "McCloud." Whitefur's voice came back "Fox take the day off, and don't worry I'll handle your work load; Whitefur out."
Fox stared at his comm badge for a second then shrugged "Who am I to argue with the leader of the CDF?" Krystal pulled him gently back down on the bed, then rested her head against his firm chest. He responded by wrapping an arm around her and they both laid there, enjoying each other's company. Fox sighed contentedly; this was his idea of a good time. They hadn't had the house to themselves in a long time. After a few minutes Fox stirred and said "I'm hungry, want to make breakfast?" Krystal got up "Yes, I'll make it today, what do you want?" Fox shrugged "How about those world famous waffles?" Krystal smiled "It's weird not seeing Marcus busting into the room when we wake up. I hope he didn't miss us last night." Fox chuckled "I doubt it Kryssy, besides would you have rather had him walk in on us last night. After all you were getting pretty nasty, not that I'm complaining of course." Krystal kissed him and they both headed down stairs.
Fox sat on the couch well Krystal went over to the kitchen and started making breakfast. "My birthday is in a week Krystal, so what did you get me?" Krystal looked at him and said "Well I suppose I'll give you a hint. It's from all of us, and it is very, very big." Fox looked at her and said "What a great hint, that narrows it down too just about everything." Krystal smiled "One more thing, you will absolutely love it. Waffles will be done in a few minutes."
Katt woke up to the sound of her phone ringing, picking it up and flipping it open she said "Hello?" Whitefur's voice came back with his distinct greeting "Yoooo," Katt smiled "Hey Bonny, let me guess the reason your calling has to do with, oh let me think, Fox's upcoming birthday." She could tell Whitefur was smiling "Lucky guess, now what do you think about a commission?" the question puzzled Katt, "What do you mean?" "Just come down to the base and I'll explain." He replied, Katt agreed and then said good-bye. I wonder what he means about a commission, and what does that have to do with Fox's b-day? She thought, she decided she would figure it out once she got there, so she decided to get dressed.
Falco was supervising a group of ten cadets as they did a battle simulation when his comm badge chirped. "Falco here," he said. "Falco its Chris, I need you to come over to the council chambers, there's something we have discuss." Falco wondered if he was in trouble, but he decided he'd rather wait to find out, "Alright I'll be right over." He told the other instructor he had to go and then left.
As he walked into the council chambers he saw just about everyone there, including two friends he hadn't seen in months "Fiora, Decius, what are you doing here?" He asked as he walked over to them. Fiora gave him a hug and said "Whitefur called us over, said it was important." Falco nodded "Yeah they just pulled me out of my class, so where have you two been the past couple of months?"
Fiora shrugged "Fortuna and Zoness, we were actually teaching at the new academies there." Falco nodded "Yeah, we all missed you, by the way, do you have any idea why where all here?" Fay walked up "I think it has something to do with Fox's birthday." Falco looked at her "How do you know?" Fay smiled and said "It's easy to get Bill talking if you get him relaxed enough."
The doors opened and everyone looked in that direction to see Katt and Miyu walking in. Miyu was in her customary doctor's outfit, well Katt was wearing tight jeans and tight shirt. Falco walked up to her "Katt? What the hell are you doing here?" Katt shrugged "Bonny called and told me to come over here, same with Miyu." Miyu huffed "Right in the middle of a very complex project of mine to. That said this better by really damn important or else I'm gonna slap him in the face." Katt looked at her "Can you do that to a general?" Miyu laughed "He's no general, he's Bonny."
Just then Whitefur walked in "Oh good looks like your all here, and I suppose you're all wondering why you're here." Miyu walked up to him and said "Say it before I slap you." Whitefur laughed "Bill caught you doing an experiment eh? Alright, now I've already discussed this with Krystal, and she's already gotten her commission." Katt sighed "Will you just tell us what the hell this is about already?"
Whitefur smiled "Fox is getting a starship for his birthday." Everyone's jaws unhooked, Fiora was the first to recover "He's getting a starship?" Whitefur started to grin "Oh this will really get you, you all are going to be his senior officers. Katt you'll be communications officer, rank lieutenant. Falco, you'll be fighter leader, rank Lt Commander. Fay you'll be his first officer, Decius, you'll be tactical officer rank senior lieutenant. Fiora, you'll be science officer, rank lieutenant."
Everyone just stared in disbelief, "Of course you don't have to take the commissions if you don't want them. So do you want them?" Falco finally shook himself out of his stupor "I think I speak for everyone here when I say 'hell yeah'." Katt spoke then "What's Krystal's job?" Whitefur shook his head "Ships counselor, what else did you think she'd be?" Fiora looked at him "Oh she'll be perfect for that job." Whitefur looked at them like they were idiots "Do any of you want to see the ship?"
Fay nodded "Yeah let's see it." Whitefur pressed a button an image of a dreadnaught class cruiser came up "This is her, same class as the first Great Fox, albeit updated in the extreme. She has a crew of 450, and enough armament to blow up a moon. As well as a total of fifty star fighters, and six transporter rooms. All in all she's a real lady, and she's the new flagship of the entire fleet." Miyu smiled "Well, I don't think I need to do any shopping this time. When is she going to be ready?" Whitefur smiled "That's the beauty of it, she's already done, all she needs now is her senior staff and her commander."
Falco smiled "Fox is going to fricken cry when he sees this." They all laughed, they all knew Falco was probably right.
