Episode 5: Hearts Meet

A week has passed as Katt is within the Great Fox's hanger to be working on her new modified Light Arwing called Cat's Tail. Slippy is looking through a datapad to check the structure of her new fighter. "Perfect, me and dad managed to help you build this little beauty," Slippy said as Katt's new fighter is more powerful than Fay and Miyu Light Arwings but Katt's ship can't transform due to all the modifications.

"I got the twin laser cannons in this big girl along with super-fast charged shots like the other Light Arwings as well as a missile launcher. It's stacked with firepower along with raw speed and agility," Katt said as she feels proud of her new fighter which is a big improvement on her last fighter The Cat's Paw.

"Indeed, it's very impressive," Slippy said to look up at the ceiling to see an Armored Arwing sitting up there waiting for its proper pilot to use it.

Elsewhere Krystal and Fox are having a date at Central Park in Corneria City. He waits for his girlfriend to arrive to see Krystal coming out with Fox looking dumbstruck. "Wow, you look great Krystal," he said as perverted thoughts are creeping into his mind. "Screw great, she is so hot," he thought.

He takes a good look at this tall blue-eyed angel with her blue hair kept loose that passes her shoulder blades. She is wearing a white top with a knee-length blue skirt to show off her voluptuous curves like her 36G breasts, ample bottom, and long legs along with blue shoes.

"She is a doll," he thought with his eyes wandering around her figure but remaining focus on Krystal's beautiful eyes.

"Thank you, sweetheart. Should we get going?" she asked.

"Of course," he said as they go through the park enjoying the bright warm day.

"You are looking good yourself honey," she said in her sweet calm voice as she leers her eyes over to her handsome knight. He is wearing a brown shirt and black jeans which highlight his lean yet tall frame with white sneakers.

"Okay," she said as they go down the street to see the block filled with life and zest. "Good to be in the city. Bouncing and exciting," she said.

"You are talking about the city or yourself," he flirted with her as her chest jiggles upon her movement as Fox pulls his eyes away from her ample cleavage.

"Fresh, are we?" she said flirting back.

"You looked pretty fresh in that bed last night," he said as she giggles to see families having fun, children playing on swings, couples enjoying their company, and people walking their pets.

"This is so nice," Krystal said as the wind is brushing against her lovely dark blue hair which is dancing against the wind.

"Not as nice as you," Fox flirted as Krystal's cheeks feel warm at his sweet comment.

"You know how to treat me well, Fox," she said with big blue eyes filled with longing for him.

"Just speaking the truth," he said as the wind is getting harsher with Krystal's skirt brushing against the wind.

"Man, it's very windy out here," Krystal said with long thin arms raised above her head.

"Yeah, it's like that sometimes," Fox said as he sits on a bench when Krystal is about to sit down. A gust of wind blows by her as Fox is blushing from this very pleasant view.

"Ah Fox," Krystal said with a stutter with her skirt blown upward from the wind to reveal her lower body to the world especially her crush.

Fox can see Krystal's blue lacy panties which have a light blue little bow in the front. Her broad hips help fill out her panties along with her long curvy legs and her blue coat of fur on her lower half shaping a beautiful image for Fox.

"Wow," he said as her skirt is still up for a few more seconds with her arms hanging above her head like she is striking a sexy pose with her face looking deeply embarrassed.

"Oh great, why me?" Krystal flushing badly as the wind dies down for the lewd display lasted for 10 seconds but for Fox and Krystal, it felt like several minutes.

They stare at each other for them to flush from the awkward moment. "Don't worry no one noticed," Fox said trying to act calm as Krystal's mind is at ease but her heart is beating very fast from Fox peeking under her skirt.

"Good or I will die from embarrassment," Krystal said to sit beside him with that image of her lacy underwear and curves burned in his mind.

"Krystal is a real doll," he thought as he has a goofy look on his face with Krystal noticing this.

"You were looking at my panties?" she questioned with a pout which he thinks looks cute.

"Well, it's hard not to with them on full display," he said as Krystal let out a halfhearted laugh,

"Yeah I guess, clumsy me," Krystal said.

"By the way, they look cute on you," Fox said as Krystal's face reddened further.

"Thanks, I wanted to look pretty for you," Krystal said.

"Mission success with that," he said as Krystal giggled at his sweet gesture to kiss him on the cheek.

"Oh you," she said sweetly as she hears her stomach growling to make her feel embarrassed by this. "Oh, I am hungry," Krystal said.

"We can go to the local shop and get some grub," Fox said.

"Sounds good to me," she said as they go to a nearby restaurant for them to be set up at a table to be outside with the beach in view to wait for their orders. "Nice seats," she said.

"Indeed," Fox said.

"Hey guys," Falco said.

"Oh, hey Falco. What are you up to?" Krystal said as the older pilot is standing beside them holding a box with his leftovers.

"Just getting some lunch. The cafes make the tastiest sandwiches, the BLTs here are the best. I got some to take back at the Great Fox," he said.

"Sounds good, enjoy those," Fox said.

"I will. See you guys later," Falco said to go away.

"Falco seems very attached to sandwiches," Krystal said.

"Long corny story behind that. 'A Krystal Sandwich'," Fox said sounding like Falco making Krystal laugh at his lame joke.

"Krystal Sandwich huh. I sound pretty good," she said.

"You sure do," he responds as their lunches come in with Krystal having a toasted chicken panini with Fox getting a meatball sub with a basket of garlic bread on the side.

"Enjoy your meal," the waitress said to put down their drinks as well to leave them be.

Krystal takes a bite of her sandwich as her taste buds went wild. "Oh my, it's like a beach party is taking place in my mouth," she said with a smile.

"Good huh?" he asked.

"Yes, delicious," she said.

"This shop always has good grub," Fox said.

"Indeed, it does," Krystal feeling sad about what happened with Katt's crew and that artifact. "Gee, I feel sorry about Katt and her crew. My past is getting people killed," Krystal said.

"I know but it's not your fault. The pirates were the ones who killed them not you," Fox said.

"Your right, I shouldn't think like that. On the bright side, we got a new member and she is quite the pilot," Krystal said.

"She is, she managed aid us quite a bit in the Lylat Wars over 10 years ago," Fox said.

"I see, she will be very helpful," Krystal said as they finished their meals. "Come on, let's see the beach," Krystal said as they reach the beach with many people enjoying themselves like swimming, building sandcastles, and getting a tan. They see a big view of the ocean with it being crystal blue shining against the sun.

"That is a view," Fox said.

"It sure is," Krystal said.

"But I have a better view right in front of me," Fox said as Krystal giggled.

"You know how to make a girl special," Krystal said as they take in the sights.

"Man, the sights here are great. Best beaches on the planet," he said.

"Too bad our beach vacation got cut short," Krystal said as she put her hands on her hips. "I have gotten the cutest bikini I bet you love to see me in," she said to cock her hip to the side catching her boyfriend's attention.

"It's a shame, that is a treat on the eyes," he said as she makes a sexy smirk.

"Oh, for your eyes only honey," she said in a flirty tone.

"That is a promise," he joked.

"Most definitely," Krystal said to grab his head to kiss him on the lips. "Come on, let's head back to the Great Fox," she said as they go to the shuttle to head back to the Great Fox still in orbit around Corneria.

Within the mothership, Fay and Krystal talk in Fay's room still filled with boyband posters and stuffed animals. "Your date sounds so cute but the skirt has blown up by the wind like some Romcom anime," Fay said as Krystal feels flush in the face just thinking about it.

"I bet some pervert took a picture of my panties and sell them on the holonet," Krystal feeling embarrassed by the thought.

"Some imagination you got there. You seem pleased that Fox got a glance of you panties you just brought," Fay said with a cheeky smile.

"Well at least he can like the view," Krystal said.

"So, that's pretty nice. Wish I can have a date with a cute guy, I wonder where that Bill guy is?" Fay wonders.

"He is usually on missions with the army. He is very busy," Krystal said.

"Well, that was sweet despite the wind-guided panty shot. Hey, I got this new music I got on my PDA. You want to hear it?" she asked.

"Oh sure," Krystal puts the earbud into their ear hearing a buzz of noise with her ear twitching from the weird music. "What is this?" she asked.

"This is Boy n Space's new hit single. Driving through the Stars, it's such a banger," Fay said as Krystal shakes her head in disbelief. She thought the music was horrible and not to her taste.

"I will pass on that," Krystal said as Fay shakes her shoulders.

"Suit yourself," Fay said as they enjoy each other's company.

Elsewhere within the Great Fox inside the lounge. Slippy, Falco, Miyu, and Fox are playing a multiplayer shooter on the holonet. They are working as a team to take out the objectives while the enemy teams are guarding them. Peppy comes into the room to see the four pilots playing a video game.

"Well, guys we got ourselves a new job on Fortuna. We need to stay focused while you guys are joking around," Peppy said as the four are focused on their game. "This will be

"Relax old man, what is the job?" Falco asked.

"It's us protecting a research station from pirate attacks. They were researching old ruins which could hold some dangerous tech inside. I think you should pay attention so we don't get killed out there," Peppy said.

"Peppy, no one is going to die. We are way past that," Fox said.

"I know right, it's just a bunch of pirates," Miyu said.

"Yeah, it's just a security detail. What could go wrong," Falco said dismissing this.

"Just stay sharp, I have a bad feeling about these turns of events happening," Peppy said.

"Yeah but nothing wrong with slacking off for a bit. Nothing crazy is happening despite the weirdness of Krystal's past coming out of nowhere," Slippy said as the four continue their gaming session with Peppy going back to the bridge of the Great Fox.

Back with Krystal within her bed having a pleasant dream of her and Fox over 2 years ago when he first asked her to join Star Fox. It was the happiest memory they has.

-Flashback Begins-

In the hallway, Krystal is brought on board to thank Fox for saving her from Sauria. "I am very grateful for your help," she said as she noticed him being very nervous around her.

"It's no deal, I can't let you stay captured there," Fox said as she felt his eyes on her body.

"He seems to like my outfit, interesting," Krystal said as she has a flirty smirk making her hero more nervous. "Thanks again and am I distracting you?" she asked.

"Oh no, it's nothing. You look nice," Fox said as Krystal can feel his eyes onto her large chest filling out her bikini top and curvy bottom fitting her loincloth and panties.

"Thank you, you are quite the handsome hero yourself," Krystal said as Fox reaches the back of his head to rub it.

"Krystal, you got anywhere else to go?" Fox said to compose himself.

"No, my world is gone and I have no place to call home," she said.

"How about this, you can join my team. Peppy recently retired from active duty and I need another pilot. Will you join us?" Fox asked as Krystal thought about this for a moment.

"Well, I will join your team if you kiss me first," Krystal said in a flirty tone as this caught Fox off caught.

"Kiss you now, are you joking right?" Fox asked sounding flustered as Krystal giggled at this.

"He is so cute," Krystal thought as she takes his head with her hands and press her lips onto his own. "I wasn't joking Fox. I will gladly join your team," she said as Fox is glowing like a tomato with Krystal smiling at this.

"Right, good for you to be on the team," Fox said.

"Thank you and would you give me a personal tour of the ship," she said as she takes his hand holding it tightly.

"Sure, right this way," Fox said as they go down the hallways. Krystal's heart leaps for happiness as her new life begins.

-Flashback Ends-

Krystal slowly opens her eyes to embrace that memory that changed her life forever. "I lost everything and then you came into my world. Give me a fresh start and I am forever grateful for you. My loving boyfriend/ future husband Fox McCloud," Krystal drifts back to sleep feeling at peace with her new life.
