Fox's Story
'Ok. Let's start off simple..' Fox said. 'Let's start out with family life..'
'Bite me.' said a very sour Falco.
'I had a fairly normal child hood. Lived with my parents, BOTH my parents...'
'Go to hell Fox...' Falco said again.
'My mom had a regualr job, and my father, well, we all know about my father. He was ni the same profession i'm in now, only... he died a while ago...'
'No need to open up old wounds, Fox.' Peppy said. 'We all know about him, just skip the subject.'
'OK. I will for the better. My dad was home on occasion, he normally was, but sometimes, when i needed him most, he was'nt there. He made up for it though. when he finally DID get home, we go fishing or what not... real father-son stuff... but some of you would'nt know about that...'
'I'm not listening any more...' Falco said.
'Well, i was abut 13 when he died, but I was told that he went down a hero. A real blaze of glory, you know?... a hero. It was hard without him, but i had my memories of him, and that's what got me where i am today.'
'Before you get that far..' Peppy said, 'Tell us about your days fighting the Phyrexians.'
'Phyrexians?...' Fox said 'I'm not sure that i ever fought a Phyrexian, let alone know what they were until today... Are you feeling OK Peppy?...'
'Ah... I'll be ok. Keep going.'
'I think he meant school life Fox...' Slippy said.
'Yeah... school life...' Fox said in a sort of nonchalant way. 'Well, Middle school went well. I had good friends, i played sprots, and i had leisure activities. But, one thing plagued me that plauges every one...'
'The Phyrexian Plague?' Peppy said.
'I'm.... not going to talk to you any more. No. Not the Phyrexian Plague, a mortal enemy!'
'Kinda like Volrath asnd me...' Peppy said, as if stating it.
'Sure...' Fox said 'I mean a mortal enemy, the kind of person that you hate fro the minute you see him. Some one who you KNOW will torment you later in life. The kid that has his own rebel crowd.'
'Let me guess,' Slippy said 'Star Wolf.'
'Bingo.' Fox said.
'Dang.' Peppy said. 'And i was one off...'
'I'm not even going to ask...' Slippy said.
'Wow... I think he's lost it... anyway... All through junior High, Wolf was always trying to out-do me. Some times he'd do a little better, but usually, he'd get busted for smoking in the bathroom with his compadre's Andrew, Pigma, and Leon. It was funny to see the principal drag them out of the bathroom, but it got old after the 186th time... but he'd always show up to the sports try-outs to show me up, but all that smoking got to him.'
'Is that how he lost his head?' Peppy asked.
'Um... he lost and eye, and no. not because of smoking. I'll get to that. Anyway, i finaly got out of junior high, and found myself in High School. It was quite the trip... a ton of people, harder classes, new people, good looking females... and again, Star Wolf. He was in a few of my classes, TRYING to make my life a living hell, but he never really did bother me. Still getting in trouble for smoking, he was eventually forced into joining an after school activity. THAT'S how he lost his eye...'
'He lost his eye signing up for an after school activity...?' Slippy said.
'Well....' Fox said 'not exactally. he lost it on account of the activity.'
'What was it?' Peppy asked 'Phyrexian shooting? Phyrexian Dodging? TAX dodging?...'
'Um... None of those..' Fox said, sounding a little ticked off 'He lost it on account of Scrabble.'
'SCRABBLE!?' Slippy said. 'No way! HE joined the Scrabble Club!?'
'Yup. what happened was he was trying to spell a dirty word, and doing it improperly too, when SOMETHINGhappened and well..... let's just say, he never DID like the letter 'Q' after that...'
'Let me get this straight.' peppy said 'He got shot in the leg?'
'What the hell is wrong with him?...' Slippy asked 'No you fool, his eye was disloged by the 'Q' tile.'
'You know... i never DID like cucumbers..' Peppy replied.
'Whatever...' Fox said, trying to hold back laughter. 'Anyway... he was expelled because of improper use of a scrabble board, and bleeding on people... something like that... but none the less... he was gone for a while, and i had no one to bother me. It was different without him. No one to pester, no one to watch come out of a smoke filled bathroom, and more thatn that, his girlfriend was single again.'
'Dont tell me that this is all about his girlfriend...' Slippy said. 'Is that all you, or us (i'm not sure) men think about?'
'Well...' Fox began again 'I'm the one that is usually there to pick up the broken pieces of a fragile woman's heart... not to mention that she was pretty hot...'
Fox was about to continue, but aside from Falco's quiet crying, someone was immitating a machien gun. It was now a litle louder, and a lot more annoying. Fox connected it right away.
'Peppy..' Fox said 'Knock it off, i can hardly hear myself think...'
'Cant talk now Captain America Sir, Phyrexian Scuta to be kil't!' more gun noises.
'Look,' Slippy said 'I'm not sure what's wrong with you, but knock it off. I'm trying to listen here.'
Still, more gun noises, and now mock explosions.
'I think i know how to snap him out of this...' Fox said. 'Peppy! Phyrexians in the area! Keep REEEEAL quiet, or they'll hear you. And we dont want that, do we?'
'No, sir, Captain Freedom Sir! Wilco! Roger that!'
Silence. No more noises, no more Phyrexian shit, only the crying of Falco. Life was good.
'No that's that's over with,' Slippy said to Fox 'Keep going.'
'Well, Wolf's girlfriend's name was Reven Fox. She was a pure white fox with long, blond hair, and very, very good looking. With nothing to loose, I went to talk to her. It came to be, like any bad movie, that even though she was dating Wolf, she had her eye on me since Freshman year. Now, this being Junior year in High School, and me thinking i knew every thing about the female gender, I proceded to date her. Word travels fast, let me tell you. Within hours, the whole school knew of our new relationship wihth one-another. I cant say i did'nt hate it, but i really liked her. So it all went over pretty well. One thing led to another, and one year later, we were at gradguation. Nothing TOO serious had happened between us, just a ton of dinners, movies and other such resorts, but we were happy to be with each other. All was well, until Career Day. Like all the lost souls in the modified gym, i was merely wandering around when i saw an advertisemant for Star Academy. I Must say, it was all very interesting. So interesting in fact, that hetre i am today. It was odd, it was the very professional looking Star Academy table right next to Andross himself. the only thing was, he was sitting at a beat-up card table, and had hand written pamphlets describing his idea for Universal domination. Next to him was Tsabo- something-or-other... advertising 'Crovax Brand Evil'. Something about being evil, wanting to daminate Domonaria or something... And sure enough, Star Wolf and his three Amigos were at Andross's table. Aparentally, Star Wolf had been ordered by his parole officer to get a job. Well, he had found one. He was hired on the spot. 2 minutes later, he was arrested for Grand Theft Auto and breaking an entering, but i had a feeling that this was not the last time i would see him. Leaving the table to go look for Reven, i found her at a table that was advertising doctoring. Not a bad profession, but she had other ideas. We both agreed to a split, but we would see each other and keep in contact, and if she thought i deserved it, she'd 'see' me gradguation night.'
'Wow...' Slippy said. 'A real Cassinova.'
'You could say that...' Fox said. ' but just like the word of us hooking up, word of us splittig spread ever faster. Aparentally, I was not the only one out there to pick up broken pieces and what not. A Very nice girl by the mane of Katt said something to me, I dont remember what..., but we ended up going out together a few times, on a friendly basis I mean..., but we turned out good friends. with one problem... even though i never said anyting, she got the notion that we were dating..'
'DATING!' Slippy said 'How did she come to that conclusion...?'
'I think it was because of the ONE time i kissed hoe after bringing her home. It was a tad confusing after that... she and Reven kept calling. If you'v never had multiple people call you at once, i suggest you dont ask for it... but anyway, I was invited to go with her to a party gradguation night. I agreed to it, and sure enough, two nights later, i went to a party.'
'Wait...' Slippy asked 'What happened to Reven? Second thoughts on her offer?'
'Well, the problem was that i wanted to find out what she WAS offering, and why. So, after i was there for a short time with Katt, I made an excuse to leave so I could meet up with Reven.'
'And Katt took it how?..' Slippy asked.
'Well, according to what i'v heard so far today, she ended up with Falco, the poor girl..'
'SHUT UP!' Falco yelled 'I did'nt PLAN on it to go over like that! It's not MY fault i'm small!'
'The first point to a problem is admitting you have one. Good job Falco.'
'Way to take one for the team.' Slippy said.
'I'd talk..' Peppy began 'But the Phyrexians would hear me...'
Falco, realizing the sarcasm of the subject, and that Katt was origionally 'dating' fox, started to cry again. If all the troubles in the life of a small-packaged piolit was to be cried out now, there was going to be a LOT of crying.
'So, having not seen Katt since our last encounter with her a few days ago, I still have yet to talk to her. I wonder if she still remembers me...'
'Wait.' Slippy said 'you guys ran into KATT a few days ago?!'
Fox, now remember ing that Slippy's R-Wing was in for repairs that day, said
'Mayby...'
'Fox, We'll discuss this later. As for you Falco,' Slippy said 'Stop your crying.Katt never loved you, your parents never loved you, no one can STAND you, and to top it off, you have a small penis you prick!'
If that comment was intended for Falco to shut his hole, it did'nt work. Crying evern more than ever, Falco did nothing but sob.
'Feel better?' Fox asked.
'Much.' Slippy said. 'Continue.'
'Well, I met up with Reven at her dorm room, one thing led to another, and well..... it was a one night stand. Dont get me wrong, she was great and all, but i could'nt face her in the morning. So, leaving a note that ended up being two pages long. Oh, and i made her breakfast too, leaving it lovingly be her bed wiht a single longed stemmed rose in a jar.'
'Wow..' Slippy said. 'Roamntic. I'd be PROUD to be dumped like that...'
'I guess... i should really call her sometime. see how she is and all... just to catch up on old times. After that, I packed my bags and headed to STAR Academy, where i ended up with you, peppy, and a broken mind I like to call Falco. that, thus far, is my story.'
'Wow.' Slippy said 'You seemed to have led a good life thus far, i hope to hear the same in the future. Well, that just leaves you Peppy. ....... Peppy?'
'Can i talk now Captain Stupendous? Are the Scuta gone?'
'Yes' Fox said 'You can talk now.
'Good.' Peppy said 'now i can get on with MY life story.'
'What a trip this will be...' Fox said.
To Readers: Well, that ends Fox's story of his like. With Falco still in shambles, what will Peppy have to say as a life re-cap?... Fourth Chapter to be up soon... PLease, Review this Chapter, adn the others.
