It was nearly dark before they stopped to camp. Fox hadn't even broken a sweat yet, but Tootsie had been whining for hours, non-stop.

"Are we there yet? I'm hungry! My feet hurt! I'm tired! Are we there YET?!" she complained

"NO!" Fox screamed.

Tootsie jumped, and began to cry " You didn't have to yell at me!"

Fox felt bad " I'm sorry Tootsie, I didn't mean to be irritable, It's just I'm so tense, and worried about Krystal." He drooped his head and said, "Ok, then, let's stop here for a while."

Tootsie didn't say anything she just lie down, and stared at Fox for a while.

"Who does he think he is? Yelling at me like that...I understand he misses the Priestess, but doesn't he think I miss Tricky?" She sighed and thought as she drifted off to sleep.

Fox sat for a while, 'Why aren't we finding anything?! Not a footprint, a trail, a hair, no clues what so ever!' he thought.

Fox took a short nap. When he awoke, it had been about 3 hours, It was longer than he wanted to rest though.

Fox walked over to Tootsie and gentlely rolled her over, " Tootsie, we gotta get going again.." he whispered.

Tootsie moaned and yawned as she adjusted her eyes to the moonlight. "Ok, and by the way Fox, I don't mean to be a bother but....do you have anything to eat? Please, I'm starving"

Fox smiled and gave her a few Grubtubs.

"Better?" he asked

"Much" Tootsie said, forgetting about the incident a few hours ago.

So they set off again. Within the hour they had reached the ruins.

" This was where Krystal was living....right here...." He kicked a piece of rubble as he spoke.

"Look!" Tootsie yelled practically jumping up and down.

"What?!" Fox said running up to her.

"Don't you see it?" She asked

" No I don't see.......oh my......"
