A/N: Guess I'll continue with this one too. It isn't really that long
anyway. I'm trying to do something a little more original for this since
all those "The Boy is Mine" and "The Girl is Mine" type fics are all the
same, so I'm trying to do something a little different. Also, throughout
this fic as you may have noticed, there are a lot of thoughts (indicated by
a single quotation mark) and believe me they'll come up A LOT. So if it
annoys you I'm sorry, but this fic is also to look deeper into their minds.

Chapter 3-Lunch for Two
'What should I wear?' Krystal thought as she was looking through her closet full of clothes. She abhorred dresses and refused to wear them. What she mostly had were jeans and shorts. It was warm out at least, but she still had no clue what to wear. 'Why does it matter? It isn't a date.' Krystal told herself. Then she thought again, 'But I've still got to look good.'
They weren't going to the movies today, it was just a simple lunch. They were going next weekend though, unless something happened. Krystal knew there was more to this lunch than a simple discussion over movies. What was Fox trying to pull? Better yet, what was Katt trying to pull? Why did she lie? The question was still haunting.
Krystal finally decided on a plain black shirt with the inscription of a fox on the front, and a cat on the back. She wore black jeans and put on a nice blue jacket for kicks. She didn't have very many shoes and so she wore the same low tops that she normally wore to school.
It was getting close to noon now, and that meant Fox would be there any minute.
***
Slippy and Shane had gone to Fox's house in the early morning just to see him for a moment. Fox hadn't told them about his little rendezvous with Krystal yet. They walked up to the front door of his house and his father answered it.
"Hey Mr. McCloud, is Fox home?" Slippy asked
"He's home, but he won't be here much longer." James replied. "He's going to lunch with some vixen named Krystal."
"Well, we can see him for a few minutes can't we?" Shane asked.
"I don't see why not." James replied and let the boys in.
They quickly rushed upstairs and into Fox's room, who had quickly and promptly been dressed usual attire. Red shirt with a white-vest overlapping it and a nice pair of blue jeans.
"Hey Fox, want to come to Peppy's Café with us?" Shane asked. Peppy's Café was where most of the younger furs hung out. Fox, Shane, Slippy, Krystal, Katt and Bill had all been going there for years. It was too bad that they all didn't go together. Krystal of course went with Katt; Fox went with Shane, Slippy, and Bill. The six only encountered each other once at the Café.
"Sorry guys, I've got plans." Fox replied.
"We know. We just wanted to see if you'd go with us instead." Slippy said. "We haven't been to the Café in a while Fox."
"I've got lunch with Krystal today."
"Well, you shouldn't." Shane snapped and it took Fox by surprise.
"Why not?"
"Because Krystal isn't going to care about you. She only cares about herself and her well-being. The only reason she even likes you is because you look good." Shane said and crossed his arms. "Once she finds one thing she doesn't like about you it's all over. Trust me Fox, find someone else."
"But at least she's the same species. Besides, you just don't want me to go out with her so you can have her back." Fox retorted. "Everyone knows you miss her."
"That's not true. I'm just trying to protect you."
"Well, I'm going, and it's almost time to go. Tell you what. Meet me at the Café at two o'clock." Fox gave them his word. "If I don't show, you know where I am."
"No we don't, since we don't know where you're going." Slippy chuckled.
"I'm not going anywhere fancy. I'm taking her to Foxxy's Diner for lunch." Fox said. He started to walk out. Shane and Slippy followed.
Fox walked out to his car and opened the door. "I'll be there guys, stop worrying about it."
Shane glared at Fox and shook his head. "I'm telling you Fox, it isn't going to work." Fox ignored him and drove off.
***
'He'll be here any minute.' Krystal thought. She made sure that she smelled good and that she looked nice. 'He won't care what I look like...will he?' Krystal thought once more. She shrugged it off.
"Krystal!" Her mother called. This instantly jolted her from her thoughts. "Krystal! Some boy is here to see you!"
Krystal ran downstairs and met Fox at the door. She looked to her mother and she looked at her watch. "Be home by five. No later."
To this Fox nodded, "She'll be home before you know it."
***
The two foxes walked out to Fox's car. The whole time both were nervous but had no idea what the other was thinking. Fox scratched behind his ear as Krystal got in on the passenger side. "So where are we going?" She asked in a pleasant voice, though you could tell she was a little nervous.
"Foxxy's Diner." Fox answered. "Good food."
"Yes, great burgers." Krystal quickly replied. She watched Fox smile and get in the car. He had a very nice smile. Nothing but pearly white teeth. She instantly fell in love with that smile. Fox pulled out and started towards Foxxy's Diner.
***
On the way, they were both silent. 'Say something to her.' Fox thought. 'But what DO I say?' He was just as nervous as Krystal.
'What should I say?' Krystal thought. Nothing came to mind except the same old that always came to mind when most guys took you out at Star Fox high. "Nice car." Krystal said.
"Thanks." Fox said back. 'Now what?' he thought afterwards.
Krystal sat in the passenger seat twiddling her thumbs and try to think of something to say. Then it hit her. Perhaps she should take a stand. "Fox, I know that there is something more to this lunch than discussing a movie plan. I mean, we could've gone today when you think about it. This is about more than just a movie plan."
Fox nodded. "Yeah, and we'll discuss it when we get to Foxxy's."
Krystal sat back. Fox's tone of voice was so humble to her that nothing else mattered. At least he didn't sound harsh about it, and he seemed cheerful. But even in Fox's voice you could hear how nervous he was.
When they finally reached the diner, it wasn't too crowded and there were plenty of places to park. Fox parked right in front of the doors.
When they entered, there were plenty of tables available. However, there sat a cat in a hot pink jacket and Krystal recognized her right away. "Katt what are you doing here?"
Katt turned around and realized that she was caught. "Nothing, I was just leaving." She said and turned to storm out.
"Miss, you forgot your change." A lion at the countered called to Katt.
"You keep it." She shot back rather quickly as she dashed out the door.
"Let's find a place to sit." Fox said. He acted as if nothing had happened at all.
They both sat near the entrance by a window so they could see the outside world. "So why don't you tell me a little about yourself." Fox began.
'Why does HE get to ask the first question?' Krystal thought. "Oh, I can't really describe myself. I'm no good at it."
"Alright," Fox nodded. "How about you ask me a question and I'll answer. Then I'll ask you the same question."
Krystal liked the sound of that idea. "Well..." she thought for a moment. There were so many things she wanted to know about Fox, but she couldn't think of a question to ask. "How long have you been in Corneria?" She asked after thinking for about twenty seconds.
"All my life. I was born and raised here. What about you?"
"Oh, I moved here when I was about three years old. I was born in a small town called Cerina. It was a very nice place." Krystal said. "I liked it there."
Fox liked how she spoke. He awaited the next question.
"Well, do you have any really good friends? Like, who are your best friends? Those you feel you could put your utmost trust in?"
Fox looked at her and grinned. "Falco, Shane, Bill and Slippy. They're my best friends. I'm going to assume your best friend is Katt?"
Krystal nodded as the lion walked up to them. He had golden brown fur and red hair with a mustache to match. "What would you two lovely foxes like to drink?"
"I'll just have some iced tea." Krystal said.
"Make that two." Fox chimed in. The lion walked away and Fox turned his attention to Krystal, "So what's your favorite drink?"
'I thought I was asking the questions?' Krystal thought, but put it aside. "I don't have a favorite drink. I absolutely can't stand soda at all. I can't stand alcohol either. Those things just aren't me." Krystal said. 'Nice and smooth. Just be yourself, no use trying to be something you're not.' She kept telling herself in her head.
"That's interesting." Fox scratched under his chin. "I happen to like soda a lot. I don't really have a favorite drink either. How come you can' stand soda?"
"The taste of it I guess. Well, there are some sodas I can drink. Those without caffeine."
This interested Fox a little. He was about to ask another question but the lion soon came back. "Alright, two Iced Teas." The golden lion set them down and then took out a notepad. "And what would you like to eat?"
"I'll take a burger and fries." Krystal said and looked to Fox who smiled. "Make that two." She added on. Once more he walked away.
"So..." Fox leaning forward and placing his elbows on the table. He could see that Krystal was still nervous. "How about that movie?"
Krystal looked at him and tried to smile, but she was still nervous. "Yeah it sounds good. What's playing?"
Fox leaned on one elbow and looked at his watch. They'd only been there for twenty minutes. "What kind of movies do you like?"
Krystal thought for a moment. This was a simple question, yet she couldn't answer. 'He's a guy, he'd hate romance.' Krystal thought. 'But there are some guys who love it. But he looks more like an action kind of guy.' She looked at Fox, who was still waiting for an answer. 'Just be yourself.'
"Well?" Fox asked, and surprisingly enough, he was still patient.
"I like romance a lot. Maybe a bit of drama here and there."
"Well, there's a great movie that's playing that you'd love then. It's called 'Behind the Foxes Eyes'. I've heard its pretty good." Fox said.
Krystal had heard of it before, and was wondering if she should go see it. It definitely sounded like a movie that Shane would want to see though. 'Stop thinking about Shane!' She wanted to scream, but didn't want to look like an idiot in front of Fox. "Well, maybe we should go see that." Krystal suggested.
"I like romance too, as long as it has a happy ending." Fox smiled.
'Is he just saying that to hook up with me? Or does he really mean it?' Krystal wanted to know. For once she let PURE instinct take over. "Are you just saying that? Or do you really like romance?"
Fox still had a smile on his face. "I really do like romance." Fox replied. From the attitude Fox had at school and from what Krystal had seen you'd think Fox was all about action and adventure. But back there was a bit of innocence.
"Oh," Fox said and pulled a small piece of paper and a pencil. He wrote down a few numbers, ten of them, and then gave the slip of paper to Krystal, "Sorry I didn't leave my number. You should call me up sometime." He winked.
Krystal took the slip of paper and looked at the number. Then she smiled and stuffed it in her pocket. Soon after, the lion came back with their orders. He set each plate down and then handed Fox the bill. Not too expensive.
"I can help." Krystal offered.
"No, I'm treating you to lunch remember?" Fox laughed a bit.
They began to eat with a bit of conversation here and there. They talked about school and Fox asked a little bit about Shane every now and then. He didn't mention that Shane was trying to convince him that Krystal wasn't right.
"Shane just had a lot of problems I guess. He seemed much more interested in the blonde humans more than me." Krystal started to tell her story to Fox. "I don't think I was good enough for him. He was also constantly talking about his ex-girlfriend and that really got on my nerves. He doesn't seem to have much luck in relationships."
"No, he doesn't." Fox commented. "But Shane isn't all that bad. As for the human thing...I don't know. I always thought he much preferred to be around his own species."
"I guess...but I wish he'd shut up about them sometimes." Krystal said. "It's not that I don't like humans, its just that I don' t like being compared to them."
"That's understandable." Fox nodded.
"But anyway, tell me about your past relationships. How did they go?"
This question took Fox by surprise a little bit. He didn't much talk about them at all, and he never liked to. "I haven't had any past relations." He lied, and was very convincing about it.
"That's too bad. Why not?" Krystal asked.
"I just never did. I guess you could say I was scared." He said as he took a fry. "Besides, my life is pretty boring. Nothing happens."
"Well, what about Katt? You seemed interested in her at the party the other day." Krystal said and then she mentally slapped herself. 'What AM I DOING!?"
"Just between you and me, Katt is too stuck up for me. She only likes the attractive guys. She dumped Slippy because Slippy was a geek and was much more interested in computers than beauty and fashion." Fox stated. "I don't mind her I guess, but she doesn't seem trustworthy in a relationship."
'Better not say that to Katt's face.' Krystal listened to Fox as he talked. "She isn't all that bad. She's just...not used to being single." Krystal said, trying to defend her. 'What does that have to do with what he just said anyway?'
"I feel sorry for Slippy. Believe me Krystal; it isn't just about whom you're seen with. It's about accepting them for who they are." Fox took out his wallet and placed some money on the bill and waited for the lion to return.
"I know what you mean." Krystal held her head low. "So, are we going to the movies next weekend?" She said, changing the subject. Krystal didn't like to talk about HER relationships. She was done with her food anyway.
"Next weekend for sure." Fox winked.
The lion came back and took the money and smiled. He saw that Fox had left a five-dollar tip. "Take care you two." He said and Krystal and Fox had soon left.
***
While taking Krystal home, the car was once again drowned with silence. Neither of them knew what to say. Fox didn't want to be asked any questions about his past relationships and it turned out that Krystal was the same way.
The ride to Krystal's house seemed to be filled with nothing but silence and when they finally go there Krystal hopped out and turned back to say, "Good-bye. I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Yes." Fox replied. "Why don't you come and sit with me and the guys at lunch tomorrow?"
Krystal looked at him for a moment. "I don't see why not."
"Cool. So I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye, and thanks for lunch." Krystal said as Fox drove off waving.
Krystal turned to see her mother standing at the door holding the cordless phone. "Krystal, Katt's on the phone and she doesn't sound too happy." ______________________________________________________________________ A/N: This chapter felt a little weird to me, but I'm doing my best to keep up with both of my fics.
