A/N: A short little epilogue that portrays why Fox made the decision he did and it might not make 100% sense at first but if you think about it, it becomes clear. Anyway, please read and since this is the last chapter, please review.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Star Fox, Nintendo and/or Rare do.

Epilogue: New Game

He hadn't seen Katt for weeks and he refused to talk to her about that night. They remained friends and Katt never understood why…but Fox did. She asked him several times and he never gave her an answer he only said, "We CAN have what Shane and Krystal have…just not now." That was all she ever drove out.

He sat down at his desk one day and began to think of how he could explain it to Katt. To him it seemed like a stupid reason not to go for her now but he decided that it was best. Giving into Katt right then and there that night would mean giving up on the curse. It wasn't that Fox liked his curse; it's hard to see how anyone could. It was that he didn't want to break it with Katt…it would've been…too easy.

That's right…EASY. Fox was looking for a challenge in breaking it and for that he decided to seek out a true love. Someone who wasn't Katt though. He knew that it COULD be Katt but he wasn't sure.

Fox went to Foxxy's everyday after school On occasion he ran into the happy couple, Shane and Krystal. If he ever saw them he'd stop to chat and often times ask how Katt was doing. They were honest and always told him if Katt was doing well and when she wasn't.

Fox had still talked to Katt, and every time Katt asked the question, he gave her the same answer. He never discussed that night with Katt or anyone else. It was his own discussion that he kept to himself. His desire for Katt was strong…but he wanted to know if her desire for him was even stronger.

Sure, he felt terrible about it but who were other furs to tell him he was wrong? He never told anyone about his little game that he had going. He wasn't playing with Katt at all though. He was playing with himself. He wanted to test himself to see if what was real WAS real. So far it had been. But he couldn't come out and say it anymore to Katt.

Fox remembered something that Shane had told him. 'Feeling is first but it isn't always true.' He thought of that every time he stepped outside Foxxy's and walked down the street. He didn't drive much anymore. Driving didn't give him time to think like walking did. "Feeling is first…but this one could be true." Fox always told himself.

It wouldn't take weeks to figure this out and Fox was sure he was confusing Katt. He still kissed her at times; though they were only friendly pecks she rather liked it. He still held her paw and every time he grabbed he said, "Walk with me," and every time he watched Katt melt by the words.

The feeling probably WAS real. Fox, however, didn't take it that way. How long will Katt keep chasing? The question could last for the next few weeks…months or maybe even years.

Fox didn't go home much after school anymore since that night. He knew if he went home Katt would show up sooner or later. Fox DID feel something for Katt and he DID want what Shane and Krystal had…but to him love wasn't supposed to be easy. "If it didn't hurt they wouldn't call it a crush." His father used to tell him. To Fox love was supposed to be tough and unpredictable.

As he walked he'd stop by the park. One of two things would happen. He'd either go to the benches and sit or once more run into Shane and Krystal. He used them as an example of what could happen to him and Katt one day. But Fox couldn't see them lasting forever. "Nothing ever does." He whispered. "We're all cursed in some way."

The park was where he always found himself in solitude from the thought of Katt. He started to take after Shane in another aspect in the fact that everyday he went to park solely just to write. Not only that, but every time Fox wrote…he wrote about Katt. The ending to each entry he scribbled down ended the same way…

"I Love You."

The End
