March 21st 2870
I woke up to hear a knock at the door and I looked at the time and noticed it was already noon. I looked around the room and noticed that Fox was already awake and was already dressed. In usual clothing of light green pants and shirt with a white colored vest. The door knocked again. I got up and grabbed some clothing and went to the bathroom to change. I heard a female voice in the room asking "Is Krystal around?" Fox then answered "Yeah, she is in the restroom changing right now and will be out shortly." I changed into a purple colored short sleeve shirt and Kaki colored pants. I noticed the shirt didn't go all the way down as my tummy was still exposed but at least it was better than what I wore on my adventure on Dinosaur Planet. I still think about that planet sometimes and hope one day to go back in visit for a vacation this time instead of responding to a SOS.
I stepped out of the bathroom fully dressed and I noticed a pink colored female feline was in the room. Her fur was neatly trimmed and she had some white colored headfur on her head and her build was slightly like mine. She was dressed in a yellow colored short sleeve shirt and blue pants. Fox smiled at me. "I wish me and Falco could join you two ladies but I received a call from Pepper asking me and him to stop by his office for a bit to discuss a few things." Katt nodded "It's okay Fox maybe we can do the group date thing another time?" I looked at Fox with a bit of concern. "Fox, is everything okay as lately you seem to have something on your mind." He looked at me knowing I was concerned. "Everything is okay Krystal. If something comes up I will tell you about it as well as your part of the team now remember?" I nodded and hugged him softly. "Well I better let you go to your meeting." I said to him. He then kissed me on the cheek before he left.
Katt giggled a bit. "What's wrong?" I asked her. "Oh nothing it's just that I wish Falco would act that way with me sometimes more often." I nodded. "I take it you two don't get along?" Katt laughed a bit. "No it's not that it's just that he's more of a man of action than a man of romance. Your lucky that Fox is a mixture of both." We both left the apartment. "So where are we going?" I asked her "Well." she said thinking a bit. "I was thinking maybe we could go to the simulators at Corneria air base as I have access to it and with you being a member to what is considered to be the best mercenary team in all of Lylat shouldn't have any problems getting in either." I looked at her as if trying to understand what she said. "A simulator is used for training. This one though is mainly for Flight Training and I'm just curious to see what kind of skills you have in flying." she tried her best to explain it to me. "Well I have some experience flying but mainly that one craft I boarded the Great Fox with."
To me this was already sounding to be a good day but I wish Fox were here with me as that would make this day perfect for me. We boarded a hover taxi that took us to the front gates of the base where Katt showed some kind of picture and told them who I was. The guard waved us through and I looked around at our surroundings noticing the various kinds of buildings on the base. Most of them were hangars though that stored the various squadrons and above 2 of the hangars I noticed the names "Bulldog unit" and "Husky unit". I asked her if those squadrons were in what fox told me was the great Andross war. "Oh them? Yeah they were 2 of the squadrons that were in charge of defending Katina against Andross 7 years ago. They would have been completely destroyed if Fox didn't show up and help them out." she answered me.
We then walked into one of the white colored buildings and I saw male raccoon sitting at a desk where Katt signed us in and I walked to one of the screens above one of the pods that was being used and saw what appeared to be a transport under attack and one fighter fending off the fighters attacking the transport. which was showing some signs of damage. After awhile I saw the transport enter into what looked like hyperspace which told the pilot in the pod that the mission was complete. The pod opened up and I saw it the pilot was a female fox but her fur was completely white except for the 2 bangs in the front of her head which were dyed red in color. She was taller than I was and her build while slim was slightly bigger in the bust area. She was dressed in a gray colored flight suit and above her right breast was the name of "Frost" written on the uniform. She noticed me looking at her. "You must be new here" She looked at me more "Hey aren't you that one girl that came in with Fox a few days ago" She asked me. "Yes I am that girl and my name is Krystal and you are?" I asked back. "First lieutenant Tina Frost at your service Krystal." she held out her paw and I took it and she shook it. The room almost shook as I heard someone yell over the intercom "FIRST LIEUTENANT FROST PLEASE REPORT TO THE MAJOR'S OFFICE……AGAIN!" I blinked as I looked at her. "What was that all about?" I asked her. "Oh I wouldn't worry about that. It's just my squadron commander getting his boxers all in a bind again because I didn't achieve good results on that babysitting mission test. As far as I am concerned if it still flies when it reaches it's intended destination the mission was a success. I will see you around kid."
I watched as Tina walked off and Katt walked over. "Ah I see you met Tina. She's a good pilot but a little bit on the careless side." I nodded my head in agreement. "Yeah I saw what you mean but do you think we can try that mission out?" Katt shook her head. "Not right now. Maybe after we make you do some simple simulated flight drills to see how well you can handle a Arwing." I walked over to one of the simulator pods and I heard a familiar voice behind me. "Hi Krystal. Mind if I join you?" I turned around and saw it was Fox. I smiled at him. "Of course you can join me." I watched as Falco tried to sneak up on katt to try and hug her but she quickly turned around and gave him a kiss on the beak which caught him by surprise which made the three of us laugh a bit. We all then climbed into our pods and preformed what Falco referred to as "boring air show" maneuvers. After a few hours we all climbed out of the pods.
Katt stretched a bit after she got out. "I don't know about you guys but I'm getting a little hungry." "Well I'm getting a little hungry as well." I said. "Well where would you girls like to eat at?" Fox asked "Anywhere as long as they serve food." I replied as my tummy started to growl. "I think I know of a place." Fox said as he walked off to call a hover cab. "Krystal can I speak to you for a second?" Katt asked as she walked to a corner of a room away from Fox and Falco. I walked over to her. "What is it Katt?" I asked. She just looked at me and then said "How do you feel about Fox? I mean REALLY feel about him?" That question there caused me to blink. "I like him but why are you asking me this?" She sighed a bit. "I mean do you love him? I hate to be asking questions like this but Fox has gone through a few bad relationships in the past and I don't like to see him hurt." I blushed at the first part of her question not knowing what to say but then I looked over her shoulder at him when she mentioned his other relationships. "If you are trying to say that I just wanted to use him I'm not." I closed my eyes as I thought about my parents. "If my mom and dad were still alive today I am sure they would approve of him being with me." Fox walked over and asked if we were ready to go as the cab was here to take us to a place that Fox likes to go to that had a nice setting to it but was not too expensive.
After the meal Falco and Katt went off together to have some fun alone and me and Fox went to a local park. I watched as the sunset over the clouds as I sat on a swing next to Fox. "Fox can I ask you something important?" He stopped swinging like I did and he looked at me. "Sure Krystal. What is it?" I looked down at the ground with my eyes closed as if to gather strength to what I was about to ask. "Do…..Do you love me Fox? I know this seems fast as we just met a few weeks ago." I looked back down on the ground after I asked the question. The next thing I felt was his paws taking one of mine and he gently tilted my head up to look into my eyes. "Krystal. Nothing between us is too fast to me as when I first laid my eyes on you back in Dinosaur Planet I knew that something could develop between us." he hugged me close. "If it makes any difference I was scared a bit also to tell you that I loved you as I didn't want to chase you away." he kept holding my paw.
I smiled at him and kissed him softly on the muzzle. "I just want you to know Fox McCloud that I will always love you." we then moved to a bench and watched the sunset as I sat in his lap with my arms around him. "Today will be a day I will never forget." I thought to myself.
Sincerely
Krystal
