Dear Journal

We finally made it to Corneria and the Great Fox from what Fox told me is going to be in the dock for the next week or two for a much needed refit and repairs. I hope nothing happens during then but for now I might as well talk about myself as it seems that I haven't done that yet. Well let me start by introducing myself.

My name is Krystal and I am 19 years old and as of right now my home is on board the Great Fox. I always didn't live on this ship as I came from a Planet called Cerinia where my father and mother were King and Queen so I guess that would make me a princess but after the disaster I'm not a princess anymore as nothing remains except for me of my people and my race. There are nights where I relive the nightmare over and over but I'm glad Fox is there to comfort me to tell me where I really am and that I am safe now.

Today is the day though that I would be allowed onto the planet's surface I am excited and both afraid at the same time as this is my first time on a world that has more than a few living beings on it since I left Cerinia. I decided to wear Fox's mother's old outfit only because it fits better than the outfit I came onto the ship on. When we finally landed onto Corneria the world reminded me of what Cerinia used to look like lots of tall buildings and various furs of different species going on with their lives.

When me and Fox reached the shopping district I felt a chill go along my fur as if I was being stared at as if I was some stranger. Fox told me that it's due to because noone has seen a vixen of my species before on Corneria. I thought to myself that if I was going to cause this much trouble I would of asked slippy to do something about my fur color before coming down. When we entered this clothing store the sales vixen was really nice and my fur color didn't seem to bother her. I looked around the shop for a bit and I found a nice looking red colored shirt and shorts that matched so I tried them on along with a few other outfits. I could tell something was on Fox's mind when I was showing him the different outfits that I chose.

After we left we went out to get something to eat at a local restaurant and the food was great better than living on dumblegang pods and those Pukpuk eggs but at least those were some kind of food when I was on Dinosaur Planet. As we were eating I saw Fox wave over to someone and at first I thought it was a wolf but it wasn't as he looked more dog like than a wolf. He introduced himself as Bill Grey and he and Fox had known each other since they were children and they even went to the flight academy together but Fox got out when he decided he wanted to be like his father and strike it out on his own but still have loyalties to Corneria.

I overheard that things over Venom haven't been so quiet lately and that probes sent to monitor the planet have been disappearing or have been destroyed. To me that didn't sound quite right as that usually meant they were trying to hide something. I asked Fox what were they going to do about it and he told me not to worry because if something were to happen the general would let them know. I nodded and smiled at him. When the sun started to set he took me to a local park where we both sat down and watched as the sunset. I giggled a little when he tried to sneak in a kiss on my cheek but when he saw I was watching him I caught him off guard by doing it to him. I really haven't had this much fun for awhile but I do hope soon we can do this again. Well I better close this entry now as it's getting late and I have to get up early in the morning to watch the sunrise.

Sincerely yours

Krystal
