Ok, so I actually had this done…but then I lost the file…
Thanks EVER so Much Microsoft Word…
Anyway, I had some of this written out during an All Nighter, probably not a good idea…
And, also
Thanks for the reviews guys! XD
ONWARD!!! XD
We sat patiently waiting for them to come back.
Well, Jenny was. I was bouncing in my bed anxiously.
"What do you think General Pepper is talking to them about?" I asked.
"Again, don't ask me. You have a better idea on what's going on in their heads." Jenny shook her head.
I turned and looked at her. "Something wrong?" I asked.
"It's just…We just left Earth. And well…you said yourself, if we went back, bad things would happen, right?" Jenny asked, looking down.
"Yeah, and? Wait, you don't want to go?" I asked her. She shook her head.
"But now's it's not the question if I want to go, it's I have to go. If we want to make it so everyone is safe…I don't know, I guess I'm just apprehensive about this." Jenny shrugged.
"Don't worry. I'll be there to help you through it! And if push comes to shove, I bet we could find a way around that and just hide out. Or we could find a way back to Earth!" I exclaimed, trying to cheer her up.
"Hm…" was all I got back from her.
The door whooshed open a few moments later, and the entire team, well, except for Peppy, who I haven't seen yet at all, came in smiling.
"You guys couldn't have picked a better time to meet up with us." Fox said.
"Why's that?" I asked
"We just got a vacation."
-----------
Everyone was around my bed, all talking.
"Wait, let me get this straight. You guys actually get vacations?" I asked.
"Yeah, why?" Slippy replied.
Man, I really REALLY hate him…and his voice…
"Nothing, nothing." I replied. "So, what are you guys planning?" I asked.
"Well, we have a 4 day journey with the warp drive system. So, we'll use that time to let you heal up and then show you the ropes around here." Fox replied.
"Sweetness." I nodded.
The entire time, I kept my gaze as far away from Falco as possible so Jenny wouldn't have to slap me upside the head again…and again…and again. But my attempts, I guess, were very futile as my eyes were driven by some unseen force to look at him. And I immediately started to stare.
And I was still very aware of it. After a quick shake of my head, I asked another question.
"Can we take off all of this stuff? I'm not really comfortable with all of it…" I pointed to my arms.
Krystal laughed. "I'll do it."
I really hate needles and anything hospital related…so this was very squeamish for me.
After a few minutes, Krystal announced "Done!" I sighed.
"I'll say this now for future reference, I hate needles." I said quickly.
"Dually noted." Fox replied.
"I hate them too!" Slippy cried.
"You're also…no comment." I muttered as Slippy watched me.
"What was that?" he asked.
"Nothing nothing! Hey, is Peppy still a part of the team, or did he keep his promise after the aparoid wars and actually retire?" I asked.
"Old fool actually did retire when he said he was. He's out on Corneria, getting ready to move to Fichina to be with his daughter." Falco replied.
"Lucy, right?" I asked, scratching my head.
"That's the bunny." Falco said.
I nodded, making sure I actually remembered all of my facts on StarFox.
"Wait, there is one thing I want to straighten out. Fox, do you in all honesty, like Tricky?" I asked.
"Tricky? Well, sure. He was helpful on Sauria, an-" Fox replied.
"No, not 'he was alright.' Did you like him as a friend at all?" I asked again.
"Wel-"
"Great Fox's warp systems are now prepped and ready. All personal report to the bridge." ROB's voice said through the speakers.
"Fox, don't think that's a way out. You still have to answer my question!" I called at him as he rushed out. He only waved at me as he exited.
Krystal stayed with Jenny and I as we waited. "So, what's it feel like to be in a warp?" I asked.
"Hm…well, at first, you feel a bit off balanced..." Krystal stated.
"Oh great, like that'll help my bad coordination…" I muttered.
"But after that you're fine. It's only when the warp actually starts." Krystal finished.
I shrugged. After all, a little bad coordination was worth it to be able to go to Lylat, right?
"Alright guys, we're ready to head out. Make sure you're seated." Fox's voice came in through a PA.
"Yez sur." I replied.
Krystal looked at me confused. "Yez sur?" she asked.
"Erm, loose terms really…uh, slang." I replied, trying to explain.
"…slang?"
"Uh, like…hm…slang is like a way to talk English or in this case now, Lylatian. It's very loose, used by gangs and such."
"…so, it's like a type of jargon?"
"Well, if it was a profession, I would think so…maybe…"
"Slang is a casual way to talk and-" Jenny started to explain, but the engines loud roar cut her off.
Slowly, you could feel that we were picking up speed as the Great Fox moved forward. I did feel a bit off balanced, which was weird, because I was lying down in a bed. Jenny almost toppled over, and Krystal seemed to compensate for it. After a few minutes, Krystal stood up.
"Well, we're on our way." she stretched. I nodded slowly.
"So, you think Miracle will be ready to move around soon?" Jenny asked.
"She should be fine by tomorrow night." Krystal replied.
"Puh-LEASE! I've been through worse, I bet I'll be fine by tomorrow morning at most." I said, waving my hand.
"You nearly died, and you think you can shake it off that fast?" Jenny asked.
"From what I've heard, Corneria has advanced medical engineering, right? So, I'm guessing the two weeks I was out, that's where most of my healing was." I said.
Krystal nodded. "Correct. You do know a lot about Lylat." she said, watching me carefully.
I merely shrugged. "I've done some studying. Didn't think it would actually come in handy." I replied.
"And you said you knew saurian?" Krystal asked.
"0ef."
"Yep."
"Kxuk'j umuqawd! Xen tat 0ei couhd?"
"That's amazing! How did you learn?"
"A hout kxaj kxadw ad u wumo mudiuc tofaskadw Fox udt 0eih kamo ed Sauria, udt kxo cudwiuwo nuj ed kxoho. Ak nuj u cakkco tavvasick, rik A wek kxo xudw ev ak."
"I read this thing in a game manual depicting Fox and your time on Saurian, and the language was on there. It was a little difficult, but I got the hang of it."
"Nen."
"wow."
I laughed a bit at Jenny's confused face. "See? I told you you should've learned with me. It WAS helpful!" I exclaimed. Jenny only shook her head.
The door opened, and this time Slippy came in. "Hey, how's our patient?" he asked.
"I'm fine, thanks." I replied.
"Great! So, I was wondering, do you guys know anything about Earth tech?" Slippy asked.
"Teoj xo oloh dek kucb ureic kosx?" I asked Krystal.
"Does he ever not talk about tech?"
Slippy and Jenny looked at each other while Krystal laughed loudly.
"Apparently not…" I muttered.
"We know a bit…none of the technical stuff, but I'm pretty sure we could tell you whatever we can." Jenny said lightly.
"Really? Thanks! That would defiantly help out!" Slippy said enthusiastically. Jenny gave him a small smile as Slippy gave a huge grin.
I rolled my eyes unnoticed as I watched him. The door opened again.
So many visitors…
"Hey Slip, ROB is on the fritz right now, mind fixing him?" Fox asked.
"Sure no problem Fox!" Slippy said, running out…slowly…
"I imagine you were a bit annoyed?" Fox asked me.
"Erm, a little…" I admitted shamefully.
"It's alright. He's just really excited that there's other life out there. Falco sent me out here to save you." Fox laughed.
"Can you show me around the ship?" Jenny asked.
"Sure, no problem." Fox said, walking out.
"Fox, you still have to answer my question!!" I yelled at him. He only waved his hand again as Jenny followed. "Don't worry, I'll get the answer from him." she said.
"Thanks Jenny!" I yelled after her. Fox's ears drooped a little. Krystal laughed quietly as Jenny gave a thumbs up.
This was going to be awesome.
Oh my gosh, I;m sorry I haven't updated in a while. I just had my best friend pass away in the middle of writing, so I lost my spark for some time. I'm hoping to get some more grinded out before I start Marching Band Camp. So, I hope you enjoyed! please Review! XD
