Krystal sat in her Arwing in the very early morning hours, clad in a flightsuit and her coat, waiting for Fox's signal. Fox, standing in the bridge, checked one last time that everything was in place. Finding everything ready, she gave the signal and Krystal took off out of the Arwing and started her test.

For the first segment, rings appeared. As Krystal began flying through them, drones opened fire. Krystal quickly dodged the first volley and immediately opened fire on the drones, hitting a few and sending the rest flying in different directions.

Krystal returned her attention to the rings, reacting in time to barely make the next ring. As she continued to fly through the rings, the drones returned ewith reinforcements. She flew through the rest of the rings, constantly dodging fire the entire time. With the rings finished, Krystal focused on the drones.

The drones split up and flew in complicated patterns designed to overwhelm her. Krystal dodged their fire and began chasing the first one that flew in front of her. She destroyed it and then chased and destroyed the drones one after the other. It wasn't long before the dozens of drones were wiped out.

With that portion of the test finished, Krystal flew to Fichina. Landing on the designated spot, Krystal pulled her hood over her head and left her ship.

The air was somehow colder than her previous visit to this icy wasteland. With the rewards of becoming an official member of Star Fox and marriage to Fox Mccloud within sight, Krystal endured the freezing wind and walked down the trail with her Star Fox training blaster ready. As the wind seemed to get colder by the second, Krystal questioned if she wore enough.

Krystal quickly jumped out of the way of blaster fire coming from a pair of drones. She quickly returned fire and took out the drones. Krystal continued down the trail until she was ambushed by another group of drones. She ran for cover behind a short wall, but was hit on her side by a stray blast, causing her to hold back a scream of pain.

After taking out the drones, she checked where she was hit. The blast left a temporary mark on the side of her coat. Even if the blast was from a real weapon, it would have been nonlethal even without any armor or the coat. Even still, the hit continued to feel like a glowing branding iron held against her side.

As she continued down the trail, the wind picked up speed and the temperature fell, making the pain worse. Along the way, she took out the occasional drone. By the time she could see the finish line, the wind speed had increased to the point she struggled to walk forward. The final hundred yards took nearly a half hour of pushing against the freezing wind. Finally, she passed the finish line and was greeted by a small machine that told her the test was complete.

With the test finished, Krystal returned to her Arwing and flew back to the Great Fox. As soon as she landed in the hangar, she climbed out and quickly made her way to the bridge where Fox and Falco stood waiting. There, she stood and waited as Fox went over the test results.

The wait was almost unbearable. It almost felt like Fox was intentionally taking as long as possible. Fox kept her mind as blank and her face as unreadable as possible. Eventually, Fox turned off the screen and walked over to Krystal.

"How did I do?" Krystal asked, preparing herself for potential failure.

"Congratulations, you passed." Fox told Krystal, "As of now, you are officially a member of the Star Fox team."

Krystal smiled and hugged Fox. She could now prepare for the next part of their life together. She looked into Fox's eyes and the pair kissed.

"So, how do you want to celebrate?" Fox asked Krystal.

"Maybe some cuddling and a movie of my choice tonight?" Krystal suggested.

"Anything else?" Fox asked.

"You know what you could wear to make me happy." Krystal told Fox, "A certain pair of boots that highlight what makes a lady's body so attractive."

"I guess you earned it." Fox told her as the pair walked to their room.

"You've earned it too." Krystal told Fox, "They make your legs so much sexier and you get a vixen in heels."

The pair walked into their room. Krystal removed her coat and they both took off their boots and put on their heeled boots.

"So now we just have the wedding to worry about." Krystal told Fox, "I don't know how much longer I can wait."

"We'll have it soon." Fox promised, "Everyone's schedule is open enough that they can all make it on the same day. Plus, it's relatively small."

The pair left the room and walked to the recreation room.

"Congratulations." Falco told Krystal.

"Thanks." Krystal replied.

"Any part you hated?" Falco asked.

"The ground portion on Fichina." Krystal answered, "I'm just not acclimated to cold weather."

Fox looked at the clock and saw it was a little past noon.

"How about we celebrate by heading to Corneria City for lunch?" Fox offered, "I'm buying."

"It would be a nice change of pace." Krystal told her.

"What about you, Falco?" Fox asked.

"Sure."

As they walked to the hangar, Fox sent a quick message to Fara, who was currently flying on a training exercise. As they climbed into their Arwings, Fox got a message back from Fara.

As they flew to Corneria, Krystal let it all sink in. She was now an official member of one of the Lylat System's greatest mercenary teams and would be married soon. Around 2 months ago, she didn't even know the team existed and believed she'd die a warrior priestess that was too busy for a relationship. Though she welcomed the changes, she hoped the changes would slow down after their wedding and honeymoon.

The Arwings landed by the burger restaraunt. The group walked in and ordered their food. While Fox paid, the others found a table.

"So, what are your plans now that you've passed your test?" Falco asked.

"Other than the wedding, nothing really." Krystal answered, "It's a bit of a relief having one less thing to worry about. Fox and I are going to watch a movie tonight."

"What kind of movie?" Fara asked.

"Nothing Fox would be comfortable with me talking about in public." Krystal answered, "Fox is going to watch the whole thing with me."

"Fox is not going to like that." Falco told Krystal, "She's more into the more family-friendly kind, with the exception of action movies. She likes the ocassional explosion and some blood here and there."

"It wouldn't kill her to broaden her horizons." Krystal told him, "She might learn to appreciate them."

"Just how unsafe for work are we talking about?" Fara asked.

"Very." Krystal answered.

Fox walked to the table with the food and sat down. Everyone grabbed their meal and started eating.

"So, what were you all talking about?" Fox asked.

"Krystal's plans for the future." Falco answered, "Her plans for the very near future."

"What are your plans for the future, Falco?" Krystal asked.

"Shoot some guys here; shoot some guys there." Falco answered, "Basically what I already do. Oh, and stay the heck away from Katt's friends."

"I plan on taking the test soon too." Fara told the group, "Maybe help develop some better equipment for the team."

"I have a few ideas for Krystal and mine's Arwing." Fox told her, "Basically, some new systems to take advantage of having a second person in the cockpit."

"Don't forget the 2-seat Landmaster." Krystal added.

"My company will look into it." Fara assured them.

The group finished their lunch, returned to their Arwings, and flew back to the Great Fox. There, they hung out in the recreation room until it was time for dinner. After eating their dinners, Fox and Krystal walked to their room.

"Be honest with me." Fox told Krystal as the blue vixen prepared the movie, "Just how... inappropriate is this movie?"

"Very." Krystal told her as they changed into their pajamas and lied down on the bed. As the movie began, Krystal wrapped her arm around Fox. Fox couldn't help but notice how similar the movie's vixen protagonists were to her and Krystal.

For the first hour, the movie wasn't so bad. It was clear the vixens were in a relationship, but they never went further than holding hands and kissing.

Then came the third act. The vixens undressed with the camera showing everything. Fox was visibly uncomfortable, but reminded herself she agreed to this. They crawled into bed and began kissing. Fox hoped this was as bad as it was going to get, but knew it was only going to get worse.

One of the vixens lied on her back while her chastity-belted lover positioned her face over her lover's womanhood. Fox wanted to look away, but morbid curiosity kept one eye on the screen. Confirming Fox's fears, the vixen on top started orally pleasing the other.

Fox wondered why Krystal liked these movies. Were they genuinely entertaining to the blue vixen? Was she using them to get ideas? Fox wanted to ask, but suspected the answer was probably "both".

While the bottom vixen was in ecstacy, they both invited a third naked vixen into the room. This third vixen positioned her womanhood over the bottom vixen's muzzle, who then proceeded to orally pleasure her.

Fox sensed an answer to her question. She sensed Krystal fantasizing her and Fox as the vixens on the bed. As the fantasy grew more graphic, Fox returned her attention to the movie as a distraction. She didn't want to find out if the third vixen inspired anything. After about fifteen minutes, the vixens were finished and lying in bed. Ten minutes later, the movie was finished. After turning off the screen, the pair showered and then climbed into bed. Krystal began spooning Fox and the pair soon fell asleep.
