Falco sat alone in his quarters. That stupid cat! Why was she always there? Every room he seemed to enter she was there! Why did she have to be so annoying?! Falco paused at his own thoughts. Was it Katt he was annoyed at? Or was it himself?
Falco couldn't deny that he felt stupid for arguing all the time. He couldn't deny that he started most of these arguments and he couldn't deny that he felt like kicking himself hard in the head after every one of these arguments.
"No," he said aloud. "It's not me, it's her! If she wasn't there all the time, I wouldn't get annoyed and have to start arguments!"
"But" said a little voice in the back of his head "Why does she make you want to start arguments? She doesn't do anything to you! If anything, she seems to be going out of her way to be nice to you!"
Falco gulped. He hated to admit it, but Katt was being awfully nice to him, well, when he hadn't started an argument with her, that was.
"No! Shut up!" Falco said aloud. He hated that voice. That winy little voice that always showed up and tried to make him feel guilty about things.
"Just shut up and go away. I don't care how nice she's being. It's her fault! She should just stay out of my way!"
"That's right," the little voice said again "Keep telling yourself that!"

"Grrrrr," Falco growled at himself. Sitting here alone was just making him more and more annoyed. He got up and went for a walk. Where he was going he wasn't exactly sure, but sitting there and thinking wasn't what he wanted to be doing right now.
"The gym!" he thought. "I'll go to the gym!" Weights and punching bags always helped him cool down when he was in a mood like this.

Falco walked through the silent corridors of Great Fox, rounding corners until at last he got to the gym. He could hear punching and kicking from inside.
"Oh no," he thought. "Please don't let it be her."
He peered round the corner and was more than happy to see Fox over the in corner.
"Oh, thank god" he thought.
He entered and walked over. Fox was laying into a punching bag, totally oblivious that Falco was right behind him.
"Hey Fox," Falco said loudly. Fox jumped and spun around.
"Jeez Falco," he said clutching his heart. "Don't do that!!"
Falco laughed. As much as he tried to hide it, he liked Fox. He was a good leader and a good friend.
"Mind if a join you?" he said, punching a bag that was hanging next to Fox's.
"Go For it."

A few minutes passed in silence.
"Hey Falco," said Fox finally. "You know Katt…."
"Yeah" Falco said, annoyed that he had brought her up.
"Well, I think you ought to cut he some slack. I mean she's only been here for a week and you guys are arguing more than ever."
"Oh great!" said Falco, his temperate rising. "Take her side! I knew you would! I'm not the only participate in these arguments you know! Why don't you go yell at Katt for a while."
Fox sighed. "I know Katt argues back, back you have to admit it, Falco, it really seems like you're the one who's starting these fights."
Falco feel silent. That nagging little voice was back again. "Told you so" it hissed at him.
Falco remained silent and hit his punching bag harder then ever.
"Why are you so annoyed at her?" Fox asked. "Has she done something to you?"
Falco remained silent.
"Well?" Fox said.
"NO!" said Falco. "She hasn't - she just - just - just leave me alone!!!"
He turned and stormed out of the gym.
Fox sighed and went back to his work out.


"Stupid Fox!" Falco thought as he stormed through the corridors once again.
"Stupid Fox and Stupid Katt!"
He made his way back to his quarters, fuming even more than he had been before he left them.
He walked in and sat down on his bed.
"Stupid Katt….." he mumbled.
"Thinking of her again are we?" said the little voice in his head.
"Arrggghhhhh!!" Falco punched his pillow. He punched it again, then again, then again.
"Yes!" he said aloud. "I'm thinking of that stupid Katt again! And so what if I am!?!? I can think whatever the hell I want!!"
He spun around and looked into his mirror. His reflection looked tired and frustrated. He looked harder at himself.
"Just admit it," he said after a few moments. "You like her."
