Chapter 3

Fox and Krystal had finally departed for Fortuna and were very excited about their get away. It was about 10 AM. Peppy arranged for the two to take a private plane to Fortuna, first class all the way. There were rows and rows of blue, comfortable plane chairs, and only two were filled. Fox and Krystal were dressed in the same clothes they wore when they were packing. The flight from Corneria and Fortuna would take 8 hours, and that was a long time to just sit there and have nothing to do. Fox and Krystal had talked a lot during flight and played games. They talked about what they would do when they got to the hotel and about their pasts, reminiscing on the good and bad memories of their child hoods and lives. The plane was landing in 3 hours and Krystal had fallen asleep. She was resting her head on Fox's broad shoulder and had her paw resting on his chest. Fox was enjoying the closeness of her body and being able to listen to her steady, relaxing breathing. He looked over her peaceful face and smiled. Fox's mind was filled with thoughts and desires, and confusion, swirling around inside his head like a swarm of bees. He placed his paw on hers, kissed it, and rested his head softly oh hers. Fox closed his eyes and let sleep envelope his body.

The sleeping pair awoke with a jolt. They opened their eyes and looked at each other. Krystal lifted her head and removed her hand off Fox's chest. She stretched and yawned and then rubbed her eyes as Fox did the same.

"I think were here Krys!" Fox exclaimed. He turned to Krystal and flashed her a big toothy grin. He kissed her on the cheek, and this time it was Krystal's turn to blush. She stood up and grabbed Fox's hand excitedly once the plane came to a complete stop, pulling him towards the plane's exit.

"Wait..wait Krystal…there's something I need to tell you before we get off the plane. Fox said. He pulled his hand away from hers and come to a complete stop. Fox placed his paws on her shoulders, looking deep into her emerald eyes.

"What is it Fox?" Krystal asked innocently.

"Well…you've never…been out in public with Star Fox before or even with me..and well things can get kinda out of hand at first. There will be tons of people out there and reporters everywhere, but whatever you do, just keep walking and don't answer any of the reporters questions." Fox told her grimly.

"Oh come on Fox. How bad could it be?" Krystal laughed and opened the plane door, which revealed a sea of people and many reporters and photographers. Cameras flashed and young teenage girls screamed at the movement of the door and at a certain handsome vulpine standing in the doorway. Krystal's eyes increased in size as she looked at the incredible amount of bodies that swarmed the plane.

Fox nodded at the blue vixen and took the first step off the plane. With Krystal following close behind. They walked down the flight of stairs and stepped on the red carpet that led them to their awaiting limousine. Fox waved at the crowd as his feet touched the fiery red carpet. The cameras produced such incredible blinding flashes, that the vixen had to rub her eyes to get rid of the colorful dots that blurred her vision. After Fox waved he continued to walk the long carpet. Girls were yelling things to Fox that would make any decent person blush. He ignored them and continued to walk. Krystal's mind was pounding from the great amounts of thoughts, it kept getting louder and louder and louder.

The blue vixen could hear the thoughts of the crowd, about both her and Fox. Krystal started to get uneasy from the mass hysteria and she stopped dead in her tracks. She froze, she didn't know why, but that's exactly what she did. Fox noticed she wasn't by his side and turned around to see Krystal standing not far behind him, with big eyes scanning the huge crowd. Fox walked back to her and whispered to her gently.

"What's wrong Krystal? We've got to make it to the limo." Fox told her. He looked deep in her eyes and his face showed concern. Krystal took one look at those big green eyes and decided she had to keep going. She started to walk and Fox followed walking close by her side.

They were 3 quarters of the way there when Krystal's panic returned when she heard a drunken male's dirty thoughts. She grabbed Fox's paw and gripped it tightly. This caused an eruption of awwws to be heard. Fox quickly ripped his paw from hers. This broke Krystal's heart to pieces for only a split second. Immediately after removing his paw, he wrapped his arm around her slender waist and pulled her close to his side. This caused an even bigger eruption of awwws. Fox blushed madly but still held Krystal's body close to his as they walked the final strip of the carpet.

The two finally made it to the limo. The limo driver opened the door for them and helped Krystal in the limo. Fox climbed in and the hound closed the door. He then packed the unofficial couple's luggage in the trunk of the limo, before climbing in the driver's seat and starting up the engine. The limo pulled away from the curb and started its short journey to the hotel.

The limo had black leather for the seats and was extremely elegant inside. There were wineglasses and even a champagne bottle resting in ice. Soft music emerged through the speakers. The driver chose a romantic song on purpose and the saxophone played its sweet melody.

" You know you didn't have to do that." Krystal said. She placed a paw on his knee and started to rub it affectionately, slowly moving from his knee up a little farther up his leg. She stopped when she got about to about a little farther than half way up his leg.

Fox's turned red, as he felt her caressing touch. He eyed her for second before turning his attention to the wandering paw. Fox returned his gaze to her again before answering.

"It was…uhh..nothing…you looked scared…and uhhh" He looked at her paw that continued to massage his thigh again and then back at her as he tried to finish his sentence. "Well, I thought…….it might help you if I was closer to you. It was nothing, really"

Krystal noticed the effect her wandering paw was having on the vulpine, so she decided to move her hand a little farther up his leg. Fox got shivers up his spine and his muscled tightened. She giggled and removed her paw from his thigh to his face. Krystal stroked it sexily before replying, "Well, it did help." She smiled at him. "Thank you Fox." She kissed him on the cheek, but this time a lot closer to his lips. Fox just looked at her in amazement.

Wow…she's never kissed me like THAT before. Fox thought.

Fox inched closer in his seat to Krystal and before they knew it their muzzles were only an inch or two apart. Fox could feel her breath against his face and he moved in to fill in the gap that plagued their hungry lips. But unluckily for the couple the vehicle came to a screeching halt. This caused them to not get their desired kiss, but instead they ended up falling on top of each other, with Krystal on top. Unfortunately for them their lips never met.

"Were here!" The driver said. He lowered the glass window that separated the front from the back. The hound looked at the two foxes in disbelief.

" Jeez…couldn't you two wait a couple minutes until we got to the hotel to get it on." The driver said dryly.

Krystal got off of Fox and they sat back in their seat embarrassed of the hound's comments.

" We weren't 'getting it on'….when you braked it caused us to fall on each other." Fox explained, surprisingly confident.

"Yah sure..buddy…whatever you say" The hound snorted. "Foxes…they sure are damn horny little things…" He said under his breath, while he opened his car door. Fox and Krystal sat stiffly in their seats and looked at the floor bashfully.

The hound, which was named David, opened their door and the two climbed out. Fox and Krystal stood in shock at the beautiful scenery that stood before them. The hotel was huge and was white with a red, orange roof. It was

Surprisingly tall and was beachside. The waves caressed the soft white sand, creating an almost hypnotizing sound. Fox made a mental note to take Krystal to the beach at night.

"Come on Fox!" She giggled. Krystal grabbed his paw once again and started to pull the vulpine inside the elegant, five star resort.

Fox opened the glass door for Krystal, who kindly thanked him. The lobby was medium sized but roomy. There was expensive art everywhere and leather couches huddled around a fire. There even was a black piano with a hired pianist playing the notes professionally.

Fox strode to the wooden front desk with Krystal on his arm. He leaned on the counter waiting patiently for service. A male raccoon eventually came to check them in.

"Hi, I'm Michael what can I do for you?" The raccoon asked.

"Hi, I've got two suites under the name McCloud." Fox answered.

"Okay let me check my computer…it'll only take a moment…….well it looks like I've only got one room under McCloud…is that okay? He asked.

"Yes, that's okay." Fox nodded. "Wait a minute did you say one room?" Fox questioned nervously.

"Yes one room. Is there a problem?" Michael replied, eyeing him for a moment.

"There's no problem." Krystal interjected. "One room will be fine. Besides Fox, it'll allow us to get to know each other better." Krystal said smoothly while stroking his arm. Fox gulped and turned bright red.

Michael laughed and grinned widely while asking, "Will that be a king sized bed or two double beds Mr. McCloud?"

Fox turned a brighter red and his eyes bulged. The raccoon noticed this and decided to embarrass the vulpine even more.

" I strongly recommend the king size bed, its great for you know….chity chity bang bang." Michael said, trying not to break into a fit of laughter.

Fox's mouth dropped and he looked at Krystal quickly before looking back at the raccoon. He stood there for a moment, not knowing what to say to the grinnig raccoon.

If I choose the king she'll think I'm trying to take advantage of her and if I choose the double beds she'll think I'm not interested in her that way. What should I do?

" We'll take the king sized bed." Krystal said calmly before Fox could answer. Fox mentally gave a sigh of relief that he didn't have to decide. If it were up to him he would have chosen the king too..

" Excellent choice! This fine man right here will carry your luggage to your suite." He pointed to a young rabbit that was dressed in black pants and a blue T-shirt with the hotel name on it. The rabbit excited the hotel to start carrying the bags to the room.

"Now how will you be paying? Cash or credit?" Michael asked.

"Credit." McCloud answered. He handed him his card. Once the transaction was complete and they got their assigned room number and keys, Fox met the rabbit to take the two to their suite.

The three had to take a long elevator ride because their room was at the top of the hotel and it was quite a tall resort. They finally arrived outside a dark wooden door that had the numbers 306 on it. The hallway had a white carpet that matched the rabbits fur.

"Welcome to your very own suite!" The rabbit exclaimed opening the door to the suite proudly. The room was huge! There was a bed with a cranberry comforter, next to it was a wooden nightstand with a lamp. In front of the bed was an oak dresser and to the left of that was a stereo. Across the room was a couch with a flat screen TV, maybe 6 or so feet away from the comfy sofa. The bathroom had a shower/tub, toilet, and sink. In the right corner of the room was a big hot tub with candles in packages on the sides of it. And to top it all off there was a balcony that you could go out on to see the ocean view.

"I hope you enjoy your stay at the Grand Fortuna!" The snow-white bunny said. Fox tipped him before he left.

"Wow this is really amazing isn't it Krystal? Fox asked in awe. "Peppy really out did himself."

"He sure did!" Krystal smiled.

"Remind me to never give him a hard time about blowing up the Great Fox ever again." Fox laughed.

"Will do." Krystal answered with a giggle as they both flopped back on the bed.
