A/N: Here's chapter 2. I really like this fic so far and I hope that you
like it too. Again, it doesn't take place in the timeline. I'm trying to
do another fic with a little "Love Triangle" and I thought that this one
would better than an original character. Anyway, enough of me making
references to my other fics, that's not why you came to read this one!
This chapter is ALL about Krystal and reflects how her past with Katt has
really been.

Chapter 2-Betrayal?
Katt dropped Krystal off at home. They exchanged good-byes and "I love you girl" the same way they had before. They'd known each other since kinder garden and got even closer in the sixth grade.
Krystal padded to the front door of her home and sighed. "Here we go again." She said as she pulled out her key and unlocked the door. This time was different though. She was usually used to Katt getting all the guys, but this wasn't just any guy. This was a guy of the same SPECIES! Every fur longed to find a guy of the same species, and Katt just scooped him up without any effort.
Krystal walked into her home and went directly to her room. Her parents were asleep and she didn't want to wake them. It was late in the night. Not quite midnight, but her mom did work weekends, and so she had to respect that.
As soon as Krystal walked into her room she plopped down on the bed and buried her head in the pillows. No tears, but she kept asking herself how Katt did it all the time. With Fox McCloud it was no different.
She turned over and stared at the ceiling. The ceiling was painted with clouds and the walls of the room were painted blue. At night when the lights turned off she had glowing stars pasted on the clouds. That way she could look at the clouds and the stars without ever actually going outside. Katt thought it was pretty cool, so she kept it that way. Not that Krystal hated it or anything; it was just running its toll now.
Krystal sighed once more and closed her eyes trying to go to sleep. It was to no avail. Her thoughts always took her to Fox. "I must've looked like an idiot in front of him. No wonder he chose Katt over me."
That was always how Krystal viewed it. Katt always knew what to say around guys. Katt was outgoing, smooth and cool. She was also calm all the time. She knew how to strike up a conversation. She also knew what boys liked it seemed. Not only that, but Katt was almost NEVER single. She always had someone to run to.
For Krystal it was all the opposite. Krystal NEVER knew what to say around guys. It was always 'What if I say something stupid?' Krystal also wasn't outgoing. She was always shy and could never get the words out. They were there of course; she just could force them out of her mouth. She wasn't smooth and cool like Katt, she was nervous and worrisome. Krystal also had far less relationships than Katt.
Krystal then smirked. "At least in my last relationship I didn't end up with a nerd!" She said referring to Slippy. She then remembered Shane. At least he was a fox. Just not the right type for her. Shane had too many damn problems, and seemed to have a bigger interest in "humans" anyway. Krystal wanted a fox that would love her for her. Shane wasn't like that. Shane always compared her to a human girl. Humans went to her school too, they just always wanted other humans. Shane was sweet though. Whenever Krystal couldn't talk to Katt about her problems, Shane had been there to listen. "He probably did love me." Krystal said. "He just didn't know how to show it."
She turned on her side and looked at the phone on her nightstand. "Maybe I should call Katt and tell her?" Krystal thought out loud. "No, if she knows I have a crush on the same guy she'll rub it all in my face again, and she'll end up getting him anyway."
"Wait, what am I saying? This is the girl I've known since I was five years old! I've known her for almost twelve years." She looked at the bracelet on her arm. It was their friendship bracelet that had a cat and a fox inscribed on the band. "She's my sister. Sisters shouldn't keep secrets from each other. She might rub it in, but she usually helps me out in end." Krystal said. Katt was indeed a confusing girl, but that's what made her fun.
Krystal decided that she would call Katt. However, as she reached for the phone it rang. This shuddered Krystal a bit. "Who could that be?" She picked it up to answer.
"Is this Krystal?" A voice said. 'Who is this?' Krystal thought. It was male voice, but it wasn't Shane. This voice wasn't as deep and it sounded more humble.
"Yes, who is this?" Krystal asked, about to hang up the phone.
"This is Fox McCloud. We met each other at the party." Fox said.
'Probably called me for Katt's number and---' Her thought paused. 'Wait, how did he get MY number?'
"If you're wondering, I got your number from Shane. He said you were quite the foxy little vixen." Fox said, and Krystal could tell on the other end that he was smiling.
'He may still want Katt's number. After all, he asked her out on a date.' Krystal thought. 'So hurry up and ask so I can give you her number!'
"I was kind of wondering..." Fox said nervously.
'Yes, I have Katt's number. I've known it for eleven years. Of course you can have it.'
"Are you doing anything next weekend?" Fox asked nervously.
'WHAT!?' Krystal's eyes grew larger. "Well, no..but..."
"But?" Fox asked on the other end.
"I thought that you were going on a date with Katt?" Krystal asked twirling the phone cord around her finger. "I mean, you are, aren't you?"
Fox was silent. "Where did you get that idea? I'm not going on a date with Katt. I just asked her a bit about you. But then she walked off."
"About me?" Krystal asked perplexed. "And she walked off?" Then it hit her. The patio. Katt walked up and said that Fox asked her out on a date...but why would Katt lie? She'd never done so before in the past.
"Well, I wouldn't say I'm asking you out on a 'date', but maybe we could go to the movies or something. Just as a little get together." Fox suggested. "I can understand if you don't want to."
"No, no!" Krystal spoke up. "Next weekend is fine. Just what time? And what are we going to go see?"
"I don't know yet. Maybe we could talk about it over lunch tomorrow? That is, if you'll go with me."
'Alright, what's the catch?' Krystal felt like asking. Krystal NEVER got calls from guys. Especially ones that she and Katt both liked. Something was up, and Krystal wanted to know what. "Sure I'll go to lunch with you."
Fox still sounded a little nervous. "Really? You will? Cool. But I should probably let you get to bed now. You're probably tired."
Krystal sat up on her bed. "I want to talk some more though. I want to get to know you." She said. 'Did those words just come out of MY mouth?'
"We have plenty of time for that during lunch tomorrow." Fox said. "I'll see you tomorrow? When do I pick you up?"
"Pick me up at noon. I'll be up and have my hair and everything done by then. I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"
"It's a date." Fox said and hung up.
'I thought he said it wasn't a date?' Krystal thought, with the receiver still to her ear. She finally hung up the phone and then went back to rest. The only taunting thing now was Katt. What was she trying to pull? And why did she lie? Krystal decided to think about it later. It was now time to get some sleep. ______________________________________________________________________
A/N: Trust me, Katt DOES like Fox, but why did she lie? You can probably guess, but it'll be revealed later on. I just thought this little moment between Krystal and Fox would show that not everything is what it seems...Anyway, R+R!
