Star Flight Adventures
Chapter 34: Meeting Friends Again
Author's notes: Even though Star Fox did make a little of an appearance in the last chapter, it was mainly on a screen. So it isn't their official appearance. They will make it during the third part.

Katt then turned to the rest of the Star Flight team after the Hot Rodder's mother ship had left. "So is it alright if I rejoin this team?" she asked to Nicholas. He broke out in a smile.
"Of course Katt," said the vulpine. "It's great to have you back."
Everyone then helped the feline with her stuff that she had taken with her when first joining the Hot Rodders back to her room on the mother ship of Star Flight. The feline then went into the process of removing the dye that she had used. It took a bit of work with a shower, but eventually she was able to get her real black fur color to show. It had been fun being pink, but Katt had missed her changed look.
When it was finished, the now black and white feline made her way to the main control and briefing room. It was there that she told the rest of the team everything about her past except for the parts they knew, and what had happened to her during the year she had been with the Hot Rodders. Not much had happened with them at all.
Nicholas then talked about what happened during the incident on Titania except about Andross. He felt that it should be kept a secret. With Katt back, the vulpine felt that things in life were good.

A couple of weeks later, the leader of Star Flight was wondering if he and his team should return to Eladard. After all, there was nothing they could do here in the Lylat. But then something came up that would hold that trip off for now.
"Huh?! Weddings?!" asked Nicholas. "You mean…?"
"Yes," said Josh. "Me and Darcy are getting married. It's the same situation for Kelly and Dave, as well as Erin and Kyle, and Nate and Natalie."
The Star Flight team were meeting their school friends who told them that they had good news. But it was not what they were expecting.
"This is a surprise," said Fara. The vixen and the others looked to the eight who were engaged, and saw that they couldn't look any happier.
"But don't you think you're rushing things?" asked Nicholas. "Especially you Dave and Kelly? You two haven't been going out for that long compared to the others. And none of you are 25 yet."
"I can understand why you would think that," said Dave. "But the truth is that me and Kelly just click so well together. To us, it feels like we've been together for years. She's the only one I want to be with. In any case, my career for the future is set."
"You want to settle down so early?"
"There's no time like the present," said Kelly. "There's no need to wait."
"And that goes for us to," said Nate.
Nobody spoke for a few moments.
"Then I don't have anything else to say," said Nicholas. "Especially if this is what you want. So when will these weddings take place?"
"Me and Darcy will go first on November 3rd," said Josh. "Then Nate and Natalie's on November 6th, then Kyle and Erin's on November 8th, and finally Kelly and Dave's on November 10th."
"I see," said the vulpine.
The team got invited to the weddings and they said they would come. But before that could happen, there was one event that happened before those.

The event happened to be Bill's birthday which came on November 1st. On that day the canine was 23 years old, making him the second of the old team members to be at that age. Cody was the first, since his fell on October 15th.
After opening the presents and having cake in the dining room, Dash brought out some drinks to celebrate. Although Fara, Miyu, Luna, Lucy, weren't there yet, Fay asked if she could try the alcohol since she was almost 21. Her birthday came on November 5th and was second out of the seven. She was also the next one out of the group of girls who would turn 21. Nami was the first one since hers came on October 20th. Fara would be the last one when she reached the drinking age on April 13th.
After getting a glass of the liquid Fay sniffed the drink and stopped while grimacing.
"Fay," said Amanda who noticed. "You don't have to force yourself if you're not ready."
"No, I'm almost 21," said the collie. "I can have one cup at least. I have to for the team's sake."
"Fay…." said Nicholas, who was holding a glass of the alcohol as well."You have no idea how proud I am to call you my team mate."
"It really means a lot to you, huh?" said Bill to the vulpine.
"Here I go," said Fay. She began to drink the liquid.
"Wow; just look at her go!" said Ben. Fay finished but then became flushed in the face. She let out a hiccup.
"Uh… you okay? You look dizzy." said Bill. The collie looked at him.
"Hey Bill; you're so far away, why are you spinning?" she asked.
"Uh…" he said, as the collie got off her chair, stumbled over to him, and got really close to his face. She placed one paw on it.
"I like you up close," Fay said.
"Wow; you're drunk already, huh?' said Bill.
"I ain't drunk; how dare you!" said the collie.
"I hate to break it to you, but that's what all drunks say," the canine replied.
"Bill…" said Fay, getting a bit closer. The canine blushed as his heart began to beat faster.
"You two are so lovey dovey," said Nami.
"I don't think lovey dovey is the word for this," said Bill quickly, turning to the river otter.
"Hey Bill!" said Fay.
"Uh… yeah?" he asked turning back to her.
"I see you staring at Nami; you'd better cut that out!"
"What the hell are you talking about?" asked the canine.
"Yeah Bill; like what's the big deal, huh?" asked Nami.
"Huh?" he asked looking back at the she river otter. Her face was a bit flushed and was holding another glass that was full.
"Oh now you've got Nami drinking to; great!" the canine said sarcastically to Nicholas.
"Oh my Bill; could we be taking an interest in little old me?" she asked. By now, the rest of the team was watching with amusement.
"Bored with me already Bill?" asked Fay.
"Whoa; here comes the cat fight!" said Cody in a teasing voice
"One of those cats happens to be into you know!" Bill shot back.
"What? That can't be," said the black otter.
"Come on Bill; who do you like better?!" asked Fay.
"Oh my, is he going to confess his love to me?" asked Nami.
"What do you mean? I actually-" Bill got interrupted by Ben.
"It's denied; Nami's boobs are bigger!"
The canine couldn't help but look and then smacked his head with his paw for walking right into that one.
"Hey buddy! What are you getting all flustered about, huh?!" asked Fay.
"That proves he likes Nami after all," said Dash.
"No no no no no no no!" said Bill shaking his head back and forth really quickly while saying that very fast.
"You don't like me?" asked Nami, a bit hurt.
"No; it's not that!" he said. "I mean, I like you; as a person-"
"So you admit it?" asked Fay in a tearful voice.
"AURGH!" shouted the canine, gripping the sides of his head in agony. "What the fuck did I do to deserve this?!" Nicholas, Katt, Luna, Yuki, Lucy, Amanda, Miyu, and Fara let out a laugh.
"Okay, I think he's been teased long enough," said the vulpine.
"That's right," said Cody, turning to Nami. "Besides who cares if he like you or not. You've got the rest of us, right?"
"I wasn't teasing him," she said. "Maybe I was serious."
"What?! Now wait a minute!" shouted the male river otter.
"Come on Bill! Make up your mind!" said Fay. Not long after that, the party broke up.
Author's notes: Yeah, just a short, sweet chapter. I hope that's not a bad thing.
