How does the time fly? BS342 is sorry about not updating recently, but he's a little preoccupied at the time. I'm just filling in. I'm Fox. Anyway, he is also a little skeptical about people not reviewing for the last TWO CHAPTERS!!!! But anyway, review, and BS342 is thinking about what you guys think, and if you still like his story as he types in 3rd person. He's still got many ideas, so "REVIEW OR ELSE" he said. This is Fox saying, please, enjoy.

A scream in the darkness...

Fear...

Hatred...

Despair...

All these emotions...

A large sound...

A flash of light...

Fox woke in the night in a cold sweat, to find he could barely move, and a tingling sensation flew through his body. Sort of a cold, almost paralyzed feeling, like when you just wake up after a nightmare. Fox, of course, just had one, and as soon as he could, sat up. Through the dim light shown by his PDA, he could see his breath. He looked at the watch and temperature gauge on the small computer, and found that it was about 1540 hours. He was surprised to find that he was breathing loudly. He calmed himself down, and tried to figure out just what he had dreamed about. He couldn't remember it, so he gave a sigh. All he knew was that it was BAD. Perhaps that's for the best, that I can't remember it, he thought.

He saw Krystal stir, and tried to be quieter, but she awoke anyway. Must be a light sleeper, he thought.

"Hmm? Fox, why are you awake now?" she said groggily. She sat up and turned to look at him with half-open eyes.

"Bad dream." Fox said simply. He then leaned back, and collapsed into his pillow, the back of his head deep in the pillow. Krystal rubbed the sleep from his eyes, and woke up more. "I'm sorry." she said. She got up, in, well, her bed clothing (BS342 regrets that he is not very good at, "this stuff", and he says sorry.) with the spare blanket around her. She walked over to him and got on her knees, and looked him in the face. His eyes were closed at the time, and when he saw Krystal near him like this, he was a bit startled. (Not in a bad way, though.) She took off the blanket and gave it to him, and said, "Sometimes, after a bad dream at this scale, one needs something warm next to them." She then gave a small, sympathetic smile.

Fox was a bit taken aback about this, and after he thanked her, he spared a quick glance, and then shut his eyes, falling asleep. Man, this thing IS warm, he thought, referring to the blanket around him.

As soon as she was sure he was asleep, Krystal looked around, and planted a small kiss on his forehead. Sleep well, she thought, and got back to her sleeping bag and went back to sleep after a few minutes.

Hmm, whatwazzat, he thought. On my head. Oh well, guess it was nothing. He then let sleep take him.

************************************************************************

Wow, I feel refreshed, thought Fox. He didn't know why, but it was like he had a renewed strength, since last night. Weird, since I had that bad dream, he thought. But Krystal was really nice, y'know, just different. But in a good way, because she was brought up differently, I assume, on Cerenia.

Fox was broken out of his thoughts when Falco opened the flap that served as a door on the tent, and said, "Hey Fox, Krystal, you guys getting up? We're half done breakfast." Then he left. "Of course." Krystal said, and told Fox she'd be a minute. So Fox got his boots on, and left to see a fire roaring with a frying pan over it. The others (minus Krystal) were sitting around it, eating things that looked like strips of meat. (except for Peppy, cooked carrots of some kind) "Hey, guys." Fox said. "Whatcha eating?" he then asked them.

Ok, sorry about the third person stuff, I was preoccupied with Soul Caliber II. Also, my (mumble mumble) sister has hogged the computer for the last couple days. Sorry. Anyway, I want to HEAR YOUR REVIEWS! I'm serious, Fox wasn't lying. *Takes a deep breath.* Lastly, sorry for this chapter for being so short, I was pressed for time. Thanks.
