Foxy walked down the corridor as she stopped at the automatic door to Falco's room. Her light-brown irises looked over the door before she stepped up to it. The door slid open as she walked into his room. For a minute, her mind played a trick on her as she looked towards his bed and saw him there, but when she looked again she only found a pair of old pants laying on the bed.

She gave a slight chuckle, "No wonder he never has anything to wear."

The fennec vixen walked passed his unmade bed as she stepped towards his desk. The computer still was running as she moved the mouse the screen appeared with a new design for a weapon of sorts. The weapon itself was no bigger than a 9mm pistol, but the design was more of futuristic modeling. The area of the gun where a single clip should have gone was replaced with a set of clips, allowing for double the shooting applies. While she took notice that the material he wanted to build it out of was of light weight so it wouldn't be a hassle to carry or handle.

Her eyes then, looked over the blue-prints finding a few small flaws in the design but otherwise it appeared to within creating order. Still she couldn't help but wonder whom he was designing the weapon for as he'd already given her the metal claws that were able to retractable within her hands. Though, she was grateful that he had listened when she said not like Wolverine style, they just appeared normal other than the fact that they were stronger than normal claws.

She placed her hand on the mouse as she leaned over to look more at the weapon's design. Soon finding when she moved the mouse over the weapon that certain little windows popped up with a little more information about it. Though, to Foxy they looked like little "notes-to-self" for Falco; as one of them said: Stainless steel coating will allow for more flex but keep for rusting.

Foxy could only chuckle as it seemed Falco was always two steps ahead of himself, at least that's what everyone wanted him to think. Foxy knew another side of that cocky, ace-pilot and he wasn't always two steps ahead of himself. She shook her head as she went back to dragging the cursor over the weapon. When a window popped up saying: Foxy, get your nosey little butt off my computer! The computer then proceeded to shut down on its own.

The female fennec fox was taken aback as she blinked several times at the screen before she gave a low growl, "Falco Lombardi, you are so getting your butt kicked at training when you get home!"

With that statement, she stormed out of his room and continued down the corridor towards the training-room; her specific destination before she'd gotten side-track by Falco's room.

When she entered into the training-room, Krystal waved her over towards the treadmills as she was running to the beat of the song Just The Way You Are.

Foxy's ears flicked towards the song as she hopped on the treadmill beside Krystal's. She started out at five miles per hour, before she increased the speed to eight just as Krystal was going.

The two fox vixens were silent for a bit as they ran side-by-side for a good ten minutes. Finally Krystal looked over to Foxy, "Alright, what's wrong?"

That caused Foxy to miss a step as she quickly grabbed a hold of the handles on either side of the treadmill. Her orbs cast to Krystal's then, "What are you talking about?"

"Don't play with me Foxy. I've been your friend for several years now, ever since you were a rookie to this team. I know you. So what is bothering you?"

Foxy cast her gaze to the moving tread on the treadmill as she refused to look at Krystal for a few minutes.

Am I really that easy to read, she questioned to herself.

"Foxy? Earth to Foxy."

Foxy's head shot up then, "Huh? What? I'm sorry, what did you say Krystal?"

The female light-violet vixen shook her head then, "You are a mess my dear friend. But I do forgive you as I'd be the same way if Fox was sent off on a mission as Falco has been."

She paused to make sure Foxy was still with her, "Anyway all I was saying is, if you don't want to tell me then that's fine. But I'm sure it'd be much easier on you if you told someone. Either way I'm here for you."

With that Krystal went back to running, as she'd stepped off the moving tread to speak to Foxy as a way to insure she didn't' miss a step like her fennec friend had. Foxy thought about what Krystal had said before she finally did speak once more, "Krystal I'm worried about him."

That caused the light-violet vixen to pause the machine as she looked directly to the fennec vixen, "Why? He's an ace-pilot. He'll be alright."

"I know this Krystal, believe me I do. I've seen him in action; he's good I will admit. But sometimes being good isn't all it takes, even you must know that."

Krystal drooped her ears slightly then as she looked across the training-room towards the small three-sectional window that allowed the viewing of the galaxy they roamed. She knew this was how it would have turned out because Fox hadn't told Foxy in the first place. She knew it, and so had Fox but he hadn't wanted to worry her. Well now there was just gonna be more of a fight and feeling of betrayal than hurt, because Fox had hidden valuable information from his own team member. Krystal looked directly to Foxy, "There is something Fox needs to tell you Foxy."

The female light-violet fox then jumped off the treadmill, grabbing the towel she'd brought with her as she started towards the automatic doors. She paused when she found the confused Foxy still on the treadmill, "Well come on. The sooner we get this talk over with Fox. The sooner Falco will be coming home. Now come on."

That put a spring in Foxy's step as she jumped off the treadmill and was soon standing beside the awaiting Krystal, "Then let's go have this talk with Fox."

Seems Falco knows Foxy so well, that he had to place a program on his computer to shut it down in case she got on there! Haha, poor Foxy. We'll just have to wait and see what this little talk is going to be that Krystal and Foxy are going to have with Fox. Hopefully the poor guy survives from having both vixens after him. Time will only tell.

Well not much else to say, except: enjoy the chapter and please review. I'd like to know what ya'll think of this story. I'd like to know that I'm not wasting my time with it.
