Fox broke through the glassy surface of the crystal blue water of the indoor pool. He breathed in deeply as he lay on his back staring up at the glossy glass surface of the dome roofing covering over the pool to trap in all the heat and deploy it useable even during the cold weather, hiding the darkened sky that came with the night. He swam for the ladder in the deep end section of the pool next to the diving board. Jessie stared at her vulpine boyfriend from the distance of the bubbling hot tub, wearing a cute and slightly revealing baby blue two piece with white border stripes.

She and two other girls were relaxing as all eyes were on Fox as he climbed up the diving board ladder and prepared for his next dive. They cheered loudly catching his attention as Fox sent a nice wave their way and then went back to concentrating. Fox got his running start and leaped right on the edge of the board to propel his upwards. Fox's body spiraled and twisted sideways as he spun rapidly as it was a combination with a back flip. Fox dove in perfectly with his paws breaking the water.

"A perfect ten." Jessie stated proudly looking back to her friends.

"Eh- I'd say more like 8.5" the white vixen with crystal blue eyes stated with a slight yawn as she leaned up against the rough surfaced stone slabs.

"Of course Tasha has to be the picky one." Narine rolled her yellow eyes as she heard Tasha's slight giggle to her right. The two girls were on the opposite side of Jessie as she was sitting on top of the outer circle with her right leg in the hot sensational bubbling water.

"Hey Jess."

"What?" The brown vixen asked curiously as she turned back toward Tasha's calling.

"Have you and Fox…you know, got together yet?"

"No." She answered innocently, "We've only been dating for like a week and a half. Little early don't you think?"

"But he's Fox McCloud! Most popular and hottest guy in the school; it's never too early to sleep with a celebrity." Tasha batted her finger back and fourth as if mentoring Jessie, her tone high with a hint of remark.

"He hasn't even thought about it yet, I'm sure he's thinking the same thing. It's still early."

"Suit yourself; if it was me I'd be jumping on top of that in a heartbeat! Just remember my little lecture, and to take a pill before. In the end it's what all guys want."

"Maybe sometime soon, he's still…you know a first timer."

"Oh my god are you serious!?" Tasha's face held both excitement and sure disbelief as her eyes went wide; Jessie only nodded her head slightly. "Wow lucky you! You're going to be the one to take it away from dear old Foxy."

"Hey what'cha guys talking about?" Fox sneaked up behind them all of a sudden as he startled the three ladies. They all looked up to his darling smile with his face pure of heart as he stood there with water dripping down his sides.

"Oh nothing you know girl stuff and all the like." Tasha quickly tried to cover up their conversation, sooner or later Fox would figure it all out. Jessie sat completely in the tub with Fox following quickly behind her. At first did he feel a sudden jolt of tingles flow across his body from the quick changing of steaming hot water soaking his cooled body. But after a few moments did he quickly adapt to the warming sensation. Fox leaned up against the wall spreading his muscular arms wide as Jessie helped herself resting her head up against Fox's shoulder blade. The vulpine gently clunked his head up against her own resulting in a small giggle.

"You know I'm a little surprise." Tasha whispered to Narine behind her paw.

"Of what Fox being a virgin or they haven't done it yet?"

"Well both really. That night is going to be a lot of fun for those two." She quickly turned back to the two vulpine as Fox and Jessie were eying Tasha strangely.

Covering her tracks did she reroute the subject again, "So the next meet is tomorrow?"

Fox finally gave up on what Tasha was trying too hide, "Yea both teams head to Nova High and we should be back at the school around 9-ish. After that were free to do whatever, there's no school on Friday due to in-service day."

"Oh yea, maybe we should all go see a movie or something," Tasha took a momentary pause as she had finished her drink and presented it, "Fox would you be a sweetheart and get me another drink?"

"Sure be right back." Fox reached for the glass from the delicate vixens grasp as he left the ladies once again. Jessie turned her head to see Fox walk off, when she turned back the other way was Tasha nearly breathing down her neck giving her a sly remark.

"Jessie Friday's your chance!" She exclaimed in a hush tone, not wanting Fox to overhear their talk. "Or Thursday night at the earliest! Ask him to relax in your room or somewhere private and just get into position."

"Tasha I don't want to force it onto him." Jessie tried to defend herself and Fox but Tasha wasn't about to back down.

"Oh believe me when a hot guy is asked this sort of thing he never sees it as forced on. Remember, pill, relax, business, and a pill after wouldn't hurt either. Some guys loose track when the time comes and they forget all about it mixed up in all the passion. Teen pregnancy is definitely not some laughing matter like some jerk-offs think it is. Remember I was this close to becoming pregnant." Tasha estimated her incremented chance of her impregnation with her fingers as it was just a tiny slither of space.

Seeing that there was no way to argue with this did Jessie bow her head in defeat and let out a small sigh, "Fine." Tasha went back to her normal spot just in time as Fox presented her the drink.

"Thanks sexy." Fox took the thankful remark strangely as he just re-positioned himself near Jessie in the tub. Tasha just hummed happily as she drew in the delicious beverage with everyone eyeing her strangely.

"Vanilla cream pie oh so good."

"Alright men let's head out." Coach Hedrick yelled out as the fighters were stepping up into the bus. Fox and Jessie sat together in the front row as Raven and Narine sat by one another in the same row opposite to them. Soon was the entire bus filled with fighters all around the bus some even in the way back. After Hedrick called out the name of all his fighters was the bus off and headed for Nova High school. The ride there would be quite a while as they soon figured, some of the other fighters had brought along things to entertain themselves until the time of their arrival in a couple of hours.

Some of the fighters had brought their personal music devices as others their handheld gaming tools and others a book or so. Fox did have his own music with him, but he also had better comfort with him as well. Jessie figured she would try and sleep as Fox soon followed her. The petite vixen leaned up against Fox and rested her head on his chest. Fox turned himself so he sat in the seat diagonally so Jessie could use him as a pillow and support as she lay against him. Fox wrapped his arm around her slender shoulders, making sure she was always kept warm. Though the natural smile across her muzzle was probably a giveaway. Fox simply leaned his own head back, hoping to get some rest before they would show up and need to compete.

"What!? Fox punched Bill!?" Fay was practically yelling at the top of her lunges as she couldn't believe what she was hearing, "What the hell has gotten into Fox?"

"I'm not sure…" Miyu stirred away as she could hardly believe it herself, she always knew Fox to control his rash emotions even when he couldn't be any angrier, "But I heard that Bill and Falco were bad mouthing Jessie at the time. So maybe Fox just stepped up to defend her you know?"

"I can see that but not as far as striking someone!"

"Never underestimate a guy when someone talks bad about their girlfriend, especially when that guy can beat the crap out of you…" Miyu didn't like stating out that last part of her words. She didn't want to picture Fox as this jerk who would be happy just to knock your face in, she wanted to picture Fox as the happy child she knew ever since she was young. Though now those days started to fade away all but too quickly.

"I guess but I still don't think they should have ended their little talk with violence."

"People change."

"One person in particular."

"I'm not so sure about that."

"Why are you wanting to defend Fox!?" Fay shouted back as she was getting tired of Miyu's strange ideals, "He's the one who backstabbed you on your relationship and not even two days later asked out that total bitch who hates us all!"

"I-I don't know." Was Miyu's only answer as she sheepishly rubbed her arm up and down while staring at the ground. Fay should probably shampoo her carpet flooring soon as the pure white carpet was starting to turn grey from age and the years of things building up. "I just don't feel like this is all his fault, I know Krystal feels the same. After all we're the ones who didn't say anything."

Fay just sighed in frustration as she thought over the possibility. Though they kept quiet they did so for Fox's best interest, they knew he had enough problems with his life at the time and didn't need the worry to stack up. Was their action out of concern really the core root to this problem now? Fox was starting to drift away even more through their own defensive action.

Fay kept quiet for a bit longer until she finally broke the silence with her own hushed voice, "I'm not sure but all I know is things are about to get much more complicated."

"Tell that to Fox."

"Oh I will, I'm going to have a little talk with Fox."

X

Fox was actually thinking about the same ideal for quite some time now, his nap was rudely interrupted as Raven and Narine were flirting with one another and somehow it had gotten loud enough to awaken Fox; though Jessie was still fast asleep. Fox just stared out at the countryside that was slowly turning into buildings; they must have been getting close to the town. Fox kept his mind occupied as he thought about the conflict with Bill and Falco the other day. He didn't really know what came over him, just when Bill started talking bad about Jessie did something immediately snap within the vulpine's mind.

"Alright everyone heads up we're about twenty minutes away from Nova High so get ready." Coach Hedrick talked throughout the bus alerting many of the sleeping figures including Jessie. Fox soon got his mind off of that topic and tended to her as the petite vixen was picking herself up and sat normally within the seat as well as Fox.

"Almost there?" She asked in her tired tone while letting out a large yawn.

"Just about." Fox replied as he wiggled his shoulders to try and loosen up. With eyes still closed did Jessie lean up against Fox as she placed her head right below his own resting on his shoulder.

She breathed in deeply through her nostrils as she let out in a sweetened tone, "Good luck."

"How about a little more luck?" Jessie chuckled lightly as she finally opened her emerald orbs to see Fox's sly remark. She leaned in closer and planted a sweet kiss onto his cheek.

"Luck." She whispered as she looked up to him. Fox leaned in closer toward her and gave her a sweet one on the lips.

"Thanks Jess." About ten minutes later did they finally arrive at Nova High. Students were walking around everywhere around the campus as school must have just gotten out and those who weren't planning on watching the fights would leave for home. The fighters made their way toward their part of the open gym as Fox took Jessie's paw and threw his bag over his shoulder. The fighters from Shooting Star High were receiving much attention from the other students, Fox took note that a lot of the opposing students were looking precisely at him and Jessie.

But Fox just shrugged them off, they probably found it a little strange how a manager of the team was also dating one of the fighters. Finally they came to the crossroads of the open gym filled with the audience of both schools as they sat on opposite sides of the bleachers. Jessie and Narine had to depart as they could manage and keep track of records at the announcers table. With a quick kiss did they part ways as the fighters began to stretch and warm-up.

Out of the corner of his eye did Fox turn to who he thought was a familiar face. Krystal and Fara sat in the bleachers for Shooting Star High as they turned to him with excited smiles; he wondered just how they got here but sent a gentle wave back. He was happy that not all of his old friends despised him now. After warm-ups he was able to slip away for a brief moment as he quickly headed for the two girls sitting in the bleachers.

"Hey guys."

"Hey Fox we're wishing you luck in your match." Krystal politely gave back to him as his smile widened.

"Thanks I really appreciate you two coming around, how did you guys get here anyway?"

"My dad drove us here." Fara let out sheepishly a little surprised by Fox.

"Oh well that's cool, tell him I said thanks if you get to before me."

"I'll be sure to." They were interrupted as Fox was being called back by coach Hedrick as he reluctantly turned to face the Great Dane coach.

"Well I gotta get going, wish me luck."

"Good luck." They said in unison as Fox waved back to them with a gentle smile and headed down the bleachers jumping from the bottom seating section and landing loudly onto the gym floor. After a quick pep talk with the fighters did coach and pupils head for the stage curtains for Shooting Star High. The dozen fighters all kept toward themselves as Fox sat on a box full of stage props eagerly awaiting his fight. But couldn't help but to feel a bit of uneasiness as he clustered up and felt light butterflies twitter in his stomach. Just some pre-fighting nerves that always tingled for every fighter. He looked toward his wrapped up fists and wrists as his black team sweater covered up his wrists for now. He was wearing school colored shorts instead of his usual button upped sweats.

Not to much later through the curtain could Fox hear the crowds chant as the announcer called out Raven's name. He must have granted another victory for their school as Fox wondered how much longer his winning streak would last. Although this was only their second meet; not all champions last forever. Fox got up and prepared for his own match that was next as he breathed in deeply. He could faintly hear the announcer's words as he called out Fox's home opponent.

"From Nova High School, weighing in at 160 pounds and height at 5 ft 9 inches. In the cruiser weight division, number 18; Wolve 'Reaver' Storm!"

Fox's mind snapped as he had heard that name, Wolve. It couldn't have been the same person; until his confirmation could be heard in a saddened yet angered tone.

You're right Fox…It's him.

Krystal told Fox mentally as his blood began to boil, he eagerly awaited the announcer to call out his own name so Fox could confirm it for himself, and get ready for a beating that has been long overdue.

"From Shooting Star High, weighing in at 145 pounds and height at 5 ft 11 inches. In the cruiser weight division, number 15; Fox 'Cobra' McCloud!" Fox immediately rushed through the curtains as everything was confirmed. He stomped down the stage steps as it was vaguely obvious he was full of rage and fury. It was him; it was that same lupine that had ruined his first relationship with Fara the same fennec sitting in the bleachers.

"Oh my god it is him." Fara admitted sadly as she could feel a tear starting to pour down from her eye, trying to wipe it away. It was the same lupine who had forced himself onto Fara and who ultimately ruined their relationship. She hadn't forgotten, and neither had Fox. The angered vulpine fighter abruptly threw off his team jacket revealing his strong athletic build. Thick, polished black bands were wrapped around Fox's biceps as they shined from the spotlights above. Fox hopped into the arena shirtless as he immediately went chest-to-chest, and face-to-face with his opponent.

Everyone was wondering what happened to McCloud all of a sudden, the calm and happy vulpine had now turned into a fearless and merciless fighter longing for Wolve's blood on his fists.

Wolve backed off defensively as Fox bared his fangs growling loudly.

"You."

"What about me?" The confused lupine asked with a bit of shock on his face.

"You're the one who ruined my relationship." Without even looking toward her did Fox point toward that same fennec in the bleachers as Wolve followed his finger. He instantly recognized the girl as she was looking down at him angrily as well.

"Sorry bro." Wolve said back with the hint of fear in his tone.

"Sorry doesn't cut it, but I'll be sure to take my share out of this match."

"I'd like to see you try." Wolve defended himself presenting his fists.

"Don't push your luck. I've been longing for this." Wolve swallowed deeply as he heard Fox's menacing words. No mercy would be granted in this fight, so far as rules and standards go. The two fighters took their positions; Wolve's expression had changed drastically as he was practically afraid to face Fox. The vulpine fighter was now driven by hate and fury and now all his training would pay off.

"Begin!" With that did the battle and the payback finally start. Fox struck out quickly as he was merely waiting for that word to be spoken. The fury energized vulpine began pummeling his lupine opponent as Wolve was putting up little to no resistance at all. Fox moved lightning fast with each and every kick and punch that were full of pain. Although angered the strategic vulpine made sure to strike Wolve menacingly, yet not with enough force that his body would merely topple over.

Fox continued his rampaging assault as he had connected nearly twenty blows in a row without Wolve giving some type of block or gesture of defense, to shots all around his body; from his upper body to his core and hinged legs. When Fox could see he was near toppling over did he force Wolve back into a turnbuckle of the ring and started hammering his face as he lay defenseless. The rules of Youth Slayers Court were harsh indeed, as long as Wolve was still standing he couldn't be called out or pulled back, so Fox made sure to keep him standing…

He sent one wind-knocking punch after another straight into the lupine's stomach. Fox pulled him out of the turnbuckle and threw him against the ropes. Wolve ran and turned his back toward the ropes as he propelled back at Fox; running straight into a remorseless cleave of a clothesline. Wolve flipped around in the air before landing painfully onto his back as his arms were spread wide throughout the arena floor.

"Get up!" Fox yelled out as he looked toward his bloody opponent on the ground. This is what he deserved after what Wolve had caused. The lupine was down breathing heavy as every nerve jolted with pain. His face had been practically pummeled purple and blood dripped through his nostrils and mouth through a steady flow. Fox waited impatiently as he pranced around the arena, his fists covered in Wolve's blood and still longing for more. His chest was slightly dubbed red when Wolve's face was resting in his chest and when the blood gushed out like a geyser.

As the referee was calling out the ten count did Wolve in fact pick himself up much to everyone's surprise, no one could have stood up from Fox's relentless assault. Fox's face held no remorse or sadness; only despising hate. They both presented their fists as the match continued on, just what Fox was wanting. Everyone was surprised but not just with Wolve, but with Fox as well. Fara and Krystal knew exactly what this was all about, it was about getting revenge. About getting even.

Fox put Wolve into position and went straight for his painful kicks as he kept on continuing his assault. Just like on the sparring dummies did Fox support his upwards positioned body on his left leg while striking everywhere with his right. Wolve was merely taking the punishment as Fox continued on destroying his body and making him bleed out the guilt. As the fury driven vulpine reached twenty kicks did he punch him straight in the chest as Wolve backed up into another turnbuckle. Fox quickly positioned himself on the second level of the ropes and started pummeling Wolve's face from up high as he looked down to his helpless opponent. Fox started to breathe heavy for his unyielding attacks but kept on continuing anyway.

To his surprise Wolve tried to counter as he picked Fox up from the sides and ran toward the center of the ring throwing him back so he would land on his backside. But Fox was too quick for his sloppy throw and the vulpine merely rolled backwards and sprang back up onto his feet. Fox rushed Wolve quickly as he hadn't expected it and sent fists flying left and right as blood gushed out of his wounds and crippled mouth. Fox threw him back toward the ropes as once again Wolve was propelled and sent right back at Fox. The strong vulpine picked up his already defeated opponent over his shoulders and slammed him painfully straight down onto the arena floor, a loud thunder like roar echoed throughout the gym. The impact was so great that Wolve's body actually ended in a slight hop as his body had actually bounced back.

It seemed as though Wolve had finally given up as he lay motionless on the arena floor. His eyes closed as blood lay everywhere around him and the arena floor. Everyone just stared shocked at the massacred lupine lying in the arena floor helpless. Fara and Krystal's eyes went wide as they couldn't believe what Fox, a vulpine they knew to be kind and gentle; had just done. McCloud breathed heavy as the hate in his eyes peered down Wolve's broken body.

"Your winner from Shooting Star High; Fox 'Cobra' McCloud!" The announcer lifted Fox's paw into the air but he quickly jerked it back, not many people had in fact cheered for Fox as they couldn't believe the assault that took place here. The satisfied vulpine merely took the bloody tape off of his paws and threw them away. He set back on his team sweater and sat with the rest of his team, not wanting to talk about what had just taken place. Everyone had a new intake on Fox; he was definitely not someone to cross with. An example of what would happen had just been given generously by Wolve.

Only two words escaped Krystal's hushed mouth as they were barely above a whisper,

"Oh my."

Later that evening after everything that happened after the meet against Nova High did Fox rest up a bit at Jessie's home. It was already dark outside as they got home a bit later due to stopping at a restaurant on the way to fuel up the fighters. Even though Fox had gotten his vengeance did he feel a bit uneasy and truth be told a bit empty on the inside.

"You alright there babe?" Jessie picked up her head from his chest as she was lying on top of him, Fox fully lying on the couch as they were alone in the large room near the kitchen. Fox covered his forehead as he let out a groggy moan.

"I feel a bit tired, and I think I got a headache brewing up."

"I'll say, you just pummeled your opponent." She picked herself up and leaned in to give him a quick peck on the forehead, "I'll get you something to drink."

"Thanks." He called back letting out a hefty sigh as he breathed in deeply. The light brown vixen took out a glass from the cupboard and filled it with some crystal clear water. As she went through the cupboards for some pain relieving medicine did a particular bottle stood out from all the others. Jessie slowly took out the bottle as she looked over its pamphlet saying, 'Out of Sight Birth Control Pills, Your best selection to prevent your impregnation.'

Her spine shivered as she read that cheesy saying, as then her mind went back to what Tasha had told her just a couple days back.

She wasn't quite sure if she and Fox were ready for this, but she decided to go on behalf of Tasha's advice. She didn't want to loose Fox and wanted to please him greatly; so they could be together for a long while. She honestly thought if this is what Fox wanted she wasn't going to argue with it; though she wasn't complaining either. Jessie dug out a single pill and studied it within her paw as it was half turquoise and half blood red in color. She got out a single glass for herself and quickly filled it with water.

With a final thought did Jessie quickly place the pill in her mouth and took a couple healthy gulps of water, feeling the pill work it's way down her throat as it was rather large. She let out a couple of balancing coughs as she breathed in strongly through her nose and placed the glass into the sink. Jessie quickly filled up Fox's own glass and grabbed two pain reliever pills for the headache brewing up in his head. Fox looked back to her strangely as Jessie looked a bit flustered as she handed him the glass and pills.

"You alright?"

"Yea I'm fine." She answered rather quickly as if trying to defend herself, or hide something up. But Fox thought of nothing suspicious and merely took her word for it. He sat up as he took the pills and glass from her warm but slightly damp paws.

"Thanks."

"Don't mention it." She took a seat beside him and watched as Fox gulped down the pills with the thirst quenching water and set the glass onto the sofa stand. But before he could lean back down completely did Jessie quickly reach for his paw.

"Come on why don't we relax in my room." Jessie quickly pulled Fox out of his seat as they ran up the spiral staircase up toward her room. Fox found it a bit strange as Jessie was practically dragging him all the way up. They finally made it to her bedroom door as she showed him a quiet remark with her pointer finger up vertically parallel with her lips. She opened the door and let Fox walk in first as he was a bit weirded out at the way she had been acting.

Jessie quietly closed the door behind her and locked it tight so they wouldn't be disturbed. She pressed in some combination of numbers as to lock her room up tight and make the room soundproof so not a single sound could be heard outside the door, just to be safe. Fox and Jessie took their original position onto her bed as she lay on top of the tired vulpine as he tried to relax. He felt like on Cloud 9 as the cushioning was soft and probably recently washed as the slight scent of fabric softener stabled his senses and calmed his mind. Jessie rested her head onto his chest as Fox completely collapsed under the relaxation and closed his eyes. He breathed easy for now as he forgot the world's drama and troubles, and just took this moment to forget it all.

That's when a tremendous shiver went down his spine and Fox's back went rigid, his face flushed and his heart sped up as he looked down. To see Jessie tugging at his fly with much force, his body in reality was heating up quickly but his eyes went wide and his lips shivered. She gave up for a slight minute and sat on her knees across his lower body throwing off her blouse.

"W-What are you doing?" He asked nervously easily defined through his tone.

"Trying to get your damn fly down, why do guys have to have such confusing flies?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" Fox murmured ever so quickly and immediately sat back up quickly unintentionally pushing Jessie away, by getting up so quickly did he in fact topple over the bed slipping out of his trousers and landing roughly onto the soft carpeting. He quickly pulled himself up by the bed sheets his face completely flushed, "What do you think you're doing!?"

Jessie was completely lost in words as she hadn't expected this twist of the plot of actions.

"W-What do you mean?"

"Why were you trying to tug my pants down!?" Fox without knowing was shouting, though not with anger; just with complete and utter surprise and embarrassment. He made sure to not show his southern region as a bit of swelling was taking place down there…

"I-Isn't this what you want?" Fox held his head within his paws as he couldn't believe what she was trying to do, how could she even think that this is what he wanted after only just two weeks of dating. Something like this shouldn't even be attempted after months, maybe years of being together; at least for being this age…

"No, no, no." Fox chanted his words as he let out a groggy moan, Jessie just looked at him a little surprised herself as the blush flowed across her face. He looked up to her but quickly looked away clenching his eyes as Jessie's shirt was still off.

"Put your shirt back on please." He talked quietly as innocence flushed over his muzzle. Jessie threw her shirt back on and sat onto the bed slouching on her left arm. Fox slowly crawled his way back up to the bed as he wanted to talk to her about this, though it was much more awkward now. He held her gently as her head leaned up against his chest as Fox enclosed his arms around her petite figure.

"Jessie," He swallowed to calm his uncontrollable nerves, "This, this is not something you want to get into a habit to, especially at our age. Although it seems glamorous it's not needed. I-, please don't try that again. This isn't just a one sided topic, I don't need nor want sex unless you believe so yourself as well." He had her look straight into his eyes as Fox spoke from the heart, cupping her face as she was completely stunned. Jessie was speechless, she had thought every guy was the same when it came to sex, but…Fox was different. He wasn't ashamed or thought of being ridiculed because of not having it, and he was the one saying no. He was definitely pure of heart and only wanted Jessie's best interest for both her and himself. He wasn't angry or cocky or anything, just happy rejecting the idea.

"I-"

"Please," Fox interrupted as he pleaded to her, "don't try that again. Please." It was definitely awkward as the mood had definitely been killed, if there was one at all. Jessie was absolutely astonished, she thought Fox would have welcomed the idea of having sex with open arms, instead he immediately shot it down faster then he would shoot down Slippy in their video game fights.

"I don't need sex Jessie." Fox petted her hair as he ran down his paw to her spine and rubbed her back gently, "Just being with you makes me happy enough."

She couldn't help but to smile in his chest as she looked up to Fox, "Okay." Fox brought her face up to look at him cupping it again as he closed up the space and planted his lips on her own. Jessie just slowly closed her eyes and followed him with their passionate kiss, forgetting about having sex all together.

X

Fox went home a bit more confused and clustered then usual, of course that's to be expected when something like that pops out of the blue. He watched the stars outside his front porch wondering if the idea was really Jessie's alone, or if someone had put her up to it…

Fox breathed slowly as he wondered how his life had gotten so complicated all of a sudden. Back when he was with Fara everything was just fine, sure there was an innocent every now and then but it was all kept to a minimum. Everything was fine, everyone was happy.

Now things have grown much more complicated; he wasn't even sure if he could call half of his old friends 'friends' anymore. He had met new people, entered in a new and dangerous sport, and was lost in the eyes of a new vixen girlfriend. But now that Fox thought about it the two groups of friends and past friends were much more different. Fox could relate to his old friends much better then Jessie and her friends really, he could relate to Fara much better then Jessie also…Truth be told Jessie's friends kind of bored Fox as he wasn't one to be talking about stupid drama either, he was the one to be up and doing things…Like how Fara was…

But Fox shook his mind off of those ideas, Fara wasn't his girlfriend anymore; but he was more then thankful she was still his friend. Now that Fox thought about it he wondered just who would still be his friend. He was sure Bill and Fay wouldn't be all to thrilled to see him again, Falco and Katt would probably be hesitant to be around him also. He didn't even know what came over him; just when Bill was bad talking Jessie did Fox blow a gasket and struck him furiously.

The wondering vulpine thought about if Miyu would still be his friend, maybe Fay would get to her and she would stay away from him also…Though they had been friends since childhood; hopefully she would stay by him as the web of friends burned in ashes.

Krystal came up on his mind on more then one occasion as well, she was new to them all; and as Fox recalled right she was more sided with him then anyone. Hopefully Krystal and Fox could be friends in the future; he didn't want to loose his new dear friend. Fox caught himself blushing as he let out a small chuckle; he hadn't once thought about the idea of him being with Krystal…Could they?

He loved all those girls to death when it came to being friends. But…taking it the next step was difficult indeed. Things went great with Fara as it seemed they were made for one another, then Wolve had to step in and ruin it all…

Miyu had been family ever since childhood and things seemed they would go alright but drama had gotten to them and the caring of people who they would never come to know. And that's when their relationship past friends went up in smoke.

Krystal was different though…From a completely different planet and system did the blue vixen seem to be a great friend. A relationship would be awkward most of the time, and he wouldn't be able to hide anything from her due to her telepathic abilities, though a good boyfriend shouldn't hide anything that would cause harm to her…A man must always protect his woman, whether from physical, or mental hurt.

Fox knew he should have tossed out all these ideas out of his mind but just kept dwelling on them. Life seemed so surreal. Life got serious, life starts now. Fox closed his eyes as he lay on the cool wooden patio imagining time going back just a couple months ago. His time with Fara, his friends, his parents, his life; was all perfect. His perfect paradise. Fox opened his eyes to the reality at hand, his paradise had been lost, and the ashes scattered over the ocean of anguish.

"Life is so surreal, life is too real."
