LIII. Temporary Treaties
Krystal headed straight for her room ignoring the rest of the team hoping to just get some sleep. She sighed, hearing the arguments of Wolf and Leon still raging outside her door, they were far worse than Falco and Slippy's fights too. She was worried, what did Fox think of her now after what she had done, what would happen if she just quit Star Wolf right now and what would she do if she quit. She had no job or home other than this so she was stuck here until god knows when.
She needed to go somewhere, just to fly off and maybe even never come back to this dump again. She hopped into her ship and flew to the only place in mind to cheer her up, Sauria. The place now would bring her bittersweet memories. When she landed in her usually area she noticed an Arwing also parked in the area, the small badge on the side showing that it was the captain's ship and she knew Fox would be there. She was nervous to even get out of her ship but something told her to do it and she acted upon the voice in her head.
She looked around and the place was just as magnificent as it was years ago when she first saw it. Then she saw Fox just sitting there on the hillside looking at her with a weird expression on his face and was noticeably blushing from the unexpected visitor. "H-hey there.." He stuttered quietly, barely able to talk. It seemed as if time had reverted and now he was just as nervous around her if not more than the time they met.
"Hey.." She grumbled quietly feeling the moment getting awkward. "What are you doing here?" He finally asked her. "Same thing you are.." She sighed sitting down next to him and hoping it would help ease the tension. "I'm going to tell you the truth..Doing what I did to you was the worst thing I've ever done. I wish I could just change it back to what we had but now you're with Star Wolf so I won't be able to make it up to you."
It took extreme self control to keep her from hugging the vulpine in a vice-grip after hearing him say that. "I hate Star Wolf..It's terrible but it's all I have after you kicked me out of my home and the only family I had." "I know that..I wasn't thinking and wanted to protect you because I know I can't always keep you safe." This was her ticket away from Star Wolf and to end this stupid fight they were having, finally they could be together again as a team or just retire with the money they've earned and start a family.
"So will you take me back?" Fox asked her after she had been quiet for quite some time now.
"Of course." Was her answer, making him smile the biggest she had ever seen. "I love you Krystal.." He said before kissing her. "I love you too, Fox." She returned his kiss and was truly happy for the first time in the past month.
She was just about to fly back to the Great Fox with him when she felt a nudge on her shoulder, a painful one. Drowsily she opened her eyes to see Panther behind her with a slightly disgusted expression. "You still want him back?" He asked making her blush. She had been talking in her sleep apparently and Panther had been there to witness it. "I don't know..Just leave me alone." She told him cruelly making him leave the next second.
"It was so real..Why can't one good thing happen for me?!" She almost yelled hitting the bed with her fists and releasing the anger she had built up.
Unknown by her Fox and his team were trying to find a new member for their team, just to help out until the Anglar invasion ended. "How about Bill?" Fox suggested knowing his old friend still liked flying. "Nah.." Falco said before gulping. "Fox ..We need Krystal, she helped us out alot." Falco finally told him not sure of what Fox would say. "Good luck..She hates my guts you saw what happened out there." He tried not to sound hurt by it but he was honestly devastated at this point."She's miserable at Star Wolf..I can tell." Falco told him. "Yeah and she started crying after she put you out of the battle, she still cares for you." Slippy added in.
As if her world couldn't get any worse she got a call and expected to find someone with the wrong number on the other end of the line as usual. She sighed answering the call to find Slippy on the other end of the line. "Slippy?!" She asked in shock that he would even talk to her after earlier. "Hey Krystal..We need some help with the Anglar and we're wondering if you could fill in." Slippy said nervously. "I don't know if I can.." She sighed. "Well actually I'll help on one condition..." Krystal smiled slightly. "Get Fox on the phone, now." If she was to help them she needed an apology from the vulpine ASAP. "Fox get over here!" She heard Slippy yelling even though he covered the phone. "Umm, hey." He said sheepishly, she pictured him blushing too now that he was talking to her after their incident. "If I'm to help I need an apology from you." She told him sternly. "I'm sorry Krystal." He said quietly making it hard for her to hear him. "Louder." She said trying to stop from giggling at the vulpine's reaction.
"I'm sorry Krystal. Seriously you're one of the best pilots I know and I need your help or we're all going to be dead by the end of the week." Fox said alot louder this time. "Alright then I'll help but I don't know how Wolf will handle this.." She told him. "I'll pack my things and meet you on Corneria tommorow at eight." She told him in a my way or the highway manner. "Alright Krystal." Fox said before ending the call. She finally got one of the things she wanted, the apology, now to see how the rest of things went. She hoped she would be allowed a room on the Great Fox while helping them because Wolf probably wouldn't allow her to stay while helping Fox.
