Hey y'all!!

See, this is what boredom will do…

However, I don't have the wifi until when I DO post this to do anything…

So sorry guys, if I didn't reply to some messages and such, yeah?

Anyway, this time, I decided to just let the ideas flow through the fingers, onto the keyboard, into the document.

Who knows?

It might actually turn out well! =P

(Fat chance, I know)

ONWARD!!! XD

________________________________________________________________________

After my little fiasco with Reano and the Cornerian Army, I decided to head into my room for some time on the laptop to see if I could stave off any boredom. And miraculously (oh, haha, a pun), I had discovered that I could indeed surf the web, and I could access Cornerian websites. The first one I found was a news website. And what threw me for a loop was that Jenny's and mine's picture was blown up on it, with a huge headline…

"A NEW ALIEN SPECIES! WHAT ARE THEIR INTENTIONS IN LYLAT?"

I scoffed. "Our intentions are to blend in and have a better life than the one we had on earth." I said to no one.

I continued to read the article…and a lot of it was bullshit. They said that Jenny and I were "Bio-weapons the army created to fight wars" and that "we were going to enslave them all," or my favorite "they run rampant and create chaos in the safe streets of Corneria City."

After a while, I shut the laptop off and got my iPod. I let it play as I grabbed the GameCube controller and clicked the On button. Time to see if I can get a new high score in the shortest amount of time as possible. I watched the opening cut scene and listened to my music, and soon fell into my own little world of "tap the A button and hope I shoot straight."

---

Two hours later, I sighed in defeat. I got a new high score…but it wasn't the shortest time. A second later,, a knock came from the door.

"C'mon in." I called, winding up the controller and turning off the iPod. Krystal came in, a blank expression on her face.

"Hey Krystal, what's up?" I asked, sitting on the bed and motioning for her to sit. After a few seconds, she joined.

"Fox told me what happened." She said after a few minutes. I sighed.

"Am I in trouble or something?" I asked, looking down.

"No, not at all. Well, not with me. I'm actually proud that you had the brains to contact Fox." Krystal said, giving me a small smile.

"Thanks. Well, it was either that, get blasted to bits, or get arrested. I didn't want the last two, really." I replied, returning the smile. I stood up and stretched. "What time is it?" I asked.

"It's five. I actually also came in to tell you that we're going out to the city for dinner tonight and was wondering if you wanted to join us." Krystal replied.

"Sure, I'd love to. Is Jenny going too?" I asked.

"Yeah, she is. Now, c'mon, everyone is outside waiting." Krystal said, standing up. I followed her out to the hanger, where the others were waiting in a small cluster.

"Took you guys long enough. Let's go already before we get stuck in traffic." Falco said.

"Calm down Falco, we've got plenty of time." Fox said. He walked over to a corner of the hanger, and within a few seconds, I heard some humming sound and saw a vehicle come out. "Come on in!" Fox called.

Jenny and I stared at each other as Slippy and Falco went towards it.

"Something wrong girls?" Krystal asked from behind us.

"Nothing." We both replied in stereo.

As Krystal walked ahead, I whispered to Jenny "I know Fox has phenomenal flight skills…but what about driving skills?" Jenny only shrugged.

---

Fox was actually a very good driver. We managed to get to where we wanted to go without any damages to anything around us. We had arrived at some what seemed to be fancy restaurant.

"Alright guys, Falco, don't smartass the waiters again." Fox said as he locked the car.

"What? I didn't do anything!" Falco exclaimed as we entered.

"Your idea of 'nothing' is different than most peoples Falco." Krystal said. A panther dressed in waiter attire came up and led us to our seats. Jenny and I received many, many looks from other patrons as we passed, and the entire restaurant went silent.

I quickly grew irritated and said loudly "Why'd it get so quiet?" Everyone started to talk again, but I think it was more in trying to figure out what we were. As we sat down, I turned to Fox.

"Are we going to be ogled at the entire time, or will it eventually seem like we're not but we got used to it?"

Fox laughed a bit. "No, don't worry. Apparently they're going to hold a press conference to introduce you two to Lylat."

"Great…" I muttered sarcastically, dropping my head onto the table. Jenny laughed a bit as she patted me.

---

The dinner was enjoyable, other than being stared at as people left. All of the food was still the same as Earth. And just as delicious.

"Stop stuffing your face!" Jenny started to scold me. I only shrugged.

"We don't get this kind of food back home, so sue me!" I said, leaning back.

"We're glad you could enjoy it." The same waiter said, picking up our empty plates and bowls. We all said our thanks as he left.

"So, what now?" Slippy asked. "We still got some time to kill."

"Why don't I take the girls out to go shopping for some clothes while you guys go out and have some fun?" Krystal suggested.

"Great idea Krys." Fox said. I made a face.

"Clothes shopping…" I shuddered.

"What's wrong with that?" Krystal asked.

"I don't really shop for clothes…I'd much rather shop electronics and such." I replied.

"You're such a tomboy." Jenny said, shaking her head.

"You make it sound like that's a bad thing." I commented.

"With you, you know it is." Jenny replied. I only shrugged it off.

"Well, come on you two. We're heading out before all the shops close." Krystal said, standing up. Everyone else followed suit and got out of the booth we were in. Jenny and I followed Krystal out as Fox and Falco paid. Krystal led us out and to a small store. "So, what sizes do you wear?" she asked.

"Uh…we're mediums." I replied. Jenny nodded in approval.

Krystal managed to wander to some area where she disappeared from our view, only to come back with an armful of clothes for us to try out.

"So…much…" I gasped.

"Well, you guys only do have a few outfits. Time to expand it all out." She shrugged. Jenny and I grabbed some clothes and went into the changing rooms. I noticed that we would have to do some quick stitch jobs as I pulled on a pair of jeans. Krystal managed to find some short skirts that we could wear some jeans under, shorts, some really nice tops and jackets. They looked pretty good on me.

After we tried them out and Krystal paid, we walked around and stopped at a coffee shop.

"So, how's Corneria so far?" Krystal asked.

"Well, we've been horded and mosh-pitted a few times already, but that's understandable. But other than that, it's been great! A lot of familiar sights and such." I replied, stretching my arms out.

"I'd agree. It's so much like Earth, it feels like we never left." Jenny said. I nodded.

"That's goo-" a beeping from our communicators cut us off.

"Hey girls, sorry to interrupt, but we got a mission." Fox said.

"Wait, weren't you guys on vacation?" I asked.

"Emergency situations come up too many times." Krystal said, sighing.

"Hurry up to the Great Fox, we'll be taking off as soon as you guys get here." Fox said, cutting the link.

---

We had taken a automated cab back, and were up into the hanger within minutes. Jenny and I rushed off to go drop off our bags and raced back into a briefing room.

"Just in time. You guys have fun?" Falco asked.

"Fun as is, shopping? Nah, not really." I huffed. General Pepper appeared in a hologram in the middle of the room.

"We're getting right to the chase. We need you to head out to Zoness and check on some activity on the surface." Pepper said quickly, looking down at what I assumed were papers.

"From what I've heard, that planet's being cleaned up, and is almost done, right? Only a few traces of any pollution left in the waters?" I asked, scratching my ear.

"Yeah, it's almost gone. The only areas left are where Andross occupied." Falco replied.

"So maybe that's where the activity is coming from? And why does StarFox have to check it out? Why not the Cornerian Army, since they should have jurisdiction out there, right?" I continued to ask.

"The army is still too spread thin from the Aparoid invasion to have a team or unit head out." Pepper said, staring me down. I returned the look confidently.

"I'm sorry, General…but the army is weak. I suggest a stronger and stricter training regime for new recruits." I said.

"Miracle!" Jenny slapped me upside the head…a lot harder than any of the previous times.

"What?! You saw how bad it was during the Aparoid invasion! Even Beltino said that one freakin' Aparoid destroyed an entire fleet!" I cried. After a few seconds, I sighed. "Sorry…I'll just shut up now…" I stepped back and leaned on the wall farthest away to keep attention to me at a minimum.

After a few minutes, they got the rest of the details and Pepper's image disappeared. Falco came up in front of me.

"Yes?" I asked.

"…you, kid, got guts." he said. I gave him a small smile.

"I only speak the truth." I replied.

"Miracle, can I talk to you really fast? Slippy, start up the warp so we can get there on time." Fox said.

"Yes Fox." Slippy and I said at the same time. I leaned forward and went up to him. "Yea?"

"I...I…I don't even know where to start." Fox said after a few minutes.

"Go ahead, deal out any punishment you got, I can take it." I sighed sadly.

"I'm not going to do that. I am, however, going to ask how you can manage to know so much about Lylat's army." Fox said finally.

"Something on Earth, a website, gave a lot of info about you guys. You gotta understand, back there, you guys are all fictional characters." I replied.

"Right…" Fox said, sighing.

"I'm sorry if I'm stressing you out Fox, really. I'm just kinda…" I paused to think of a word that could describe me.

"It's alright, don't worry." he said before I could think of my word. I looked at him.

"Are you sure? I mean, that's the third time I've done that…and I didn't exactly be at the best behavior I should've…" I reflected.

"Don't worry, Pepper's gone through worse with Falco and me a few times." Fox said.

"Falco…and you? Ok, I understand Falco…but you?"

"Why look at me like that?"

"I wouldn't expect that from you, Fox McCloud, savior of Lylat and son of James McCloud."

"Thanks, I guess…"

"No problem."

Fox led me out of the room and back to my room.

"Get some rest, we'll be at Zoness tomorrow. We'll rebrief you before we get there." he said.

"Thanks Fox. Night." I said, heading in. Jenny was sitting on her bed, waiting for me.

"Hey Jen." I waved, grabbing a pair of pajamas and heading into the bathroom.

"Hey Miracle, you gotta watch how you act." she said. I leaned on the door jamb.

"Hey, I know, alright? I'm not some little kid that always has to be lectured, you know." I replied.

"I know, I'm just making sure you do." Jenny shrugged.

"And I appreciate it. Don't worry, I'll be fine." I said, heading back in to change.

Jenny muttered something, and I grabbed a towel and threw it at her. She glared at me as I went into the bathroom and changed. When I came out a few minutes later, she was already under the blankets and asleep. I scoffed quietly, getting under my sheets. A reflection of today went through my head and as soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out like a light.
