Chapter 3- Another Friend

He silently walked up to her room and knocked. "Who is it?" a soft voice asked. "It's me, Fox" he responded. "Oh Fox, come on in" Fox opened the door and walked in "I'm in the bathroom; I'll be out in a minute, make your self comfortable." After a few minutes, Krystal walked out drying her hair "good morning Fox". "Good morning, to you, too" Fox stood up "hey Krystal, is that the only thing you have to where?"

Krystal threw the towel onto the chair "technically yes, but I still have another pair of these and a couple extra pieces of armor"

Fox stared awkwardly at her "well…..ok" changing the subject "do you want to get something to eat?"

Krystal smiled and grabbed Fox's hand. Fox blushed a little "ok" they walked out the door, Fox still blushing "um, I still don't know the way around here, can you take us there"

Fox stopped blushing "uh, ok" during the walk to the kitchen, they didn't talk. They had nothing to talk about.

When they reached the kitchen and walked in, Falco was watching television and eating at the same time, peppy was drinking a cup of coffee and reading an old newspaper article, and Slippy was no where to be found. Falco looked over as the 2 foxes walked in and smirked. "I see you're already trying to make your move on her Fox." Fox looked down to see that they were still holding hands, and quickly pulled his hand away. "No, it's nothing like that Falco" Fox retorted. "Sure, it isn't" Falco goes back to eating. Fox mutters 'that jerk' under his breath.

Fox turns back to Krystal "so what do you want for breakfast?"

Krystal thinks for a few seconds then says "I don't know……….why don't you surprise me?"

"ok, go sit down and close your eyes, I don't want you to peek" Fox walks to the food dispenser and presses a few buttons and waits for a few seconds. When the food pops out, he brings both plates over to the table and sets them down.

Fox holds her plate right below her nose "tell me, do you think this smells good"

Krystal takes a wiff and opens her eyes "it does smell good" Fox puts the plate down and starts to eat. Krystal takes a bite of what's on her plate. "It tastes good, what is it?" Krystal asked. "Well its eggs, bacons and French toast." Fox said taking another bite. The rest of the meal was either silence, or the questions of Krystal. Then a voice came over the speakers.

"Fox McCloud, please report to the control room" ROB was the one says it.

Fox wiped his muzzle with a napkin and pushed his chair back "well, better see what's up, do you want to come with?"

Krystal wiped her muzzle and pushed her chair back too "ok, I guess" They both walked to the control room, both wondering why ROB was calling Fox. When they entered the control, they saw ROB hanging around the main monitor.

They walked up to him "Ok, I'm here ROB what's the problem"

"A spaceship is requesting to board, code number 060512091405, shall I grant it permission?" ROB stated

"060512091405" Fox thought for a second "yes grant permission, but first call Falco to come to the main docking bay."

The call was made and the permission was given. Now, Fox, Krystal, and Falco were in the docking bay waiting for the pilot to land.

"What did you call me up here for?" Falco said irritated

"Wait for the pilot to land and find out" Fox said calmly, Krystal is standing a little behind and to the left of Fox pondering. The ship landed and the pilot climbed out, then the pilot walked up to them.

"Long time, no see Fox" the pilot and Fox shook hands "and" she took off her helmet revealing a female cat with hot pink fur "even longer time not seeing you, Falco"

"KATT!!!!" Falco jumped back, then turns to Fox "that's why you called me up here"

"we have so much catching up to do Falco and-" Katt spotted Krystal, then grinned a little "hello, who do we have here Fox?" Katt nudged Fox, and Fox blushed

Krystal walks up and smiles friendlily "hello my name is Krystal, and I presume that you three know each other?"

Katt shakes hand with Krystal and smiles, too. "hi, my name is Katt, and yes we three know each other from a long time back" Katt pulls Krystal close and whispers "Krystal, are you and Fox…………well………friends?"

Krystal whispers back "yes, Fox and I are friends"

"No, I mean friends more than friends"

Krystal looked at her confused "what?"

Falco cuts in "hey, what are you to talking about?"

Katt straightens up and straightens up Krystal too. "nothing really, just about Krystal's clothes" turn back to Krystal "so is that all you have to wear?"

Krystal gets what Katt's doing and plays along "uh, yeah, I guess"

Katt go gets her stuff out of the arwing and grabs Krystal's arm "Here I'll loan some of my clothes" Katt gives the bag to Krystal and turns to Fox "Hey, Fox is my room still here?"

"yeah it's still there, the room right of Falco's"

"good" turns to Krystal "now we can try some of my clothes on you right now" Katt starts running to her room, while dragging Krystal along

"well, they left in a hurry" Fox said walking back to the control room

"yeah" Falco walks with him "hey do you think we should head back to Corneria now, because I'm bored just floating here in space doing nothing"

"yeah, I think we should" they exit into the hallway "maybe we'll get another mission, when we get there"

"if we're lucky…….." they enter the control room "when should we go?"

"well, if I get access for hyperspace today, then we can get there tomorrow"

"good, you do that and I'm going to the kitchen for a drink" walks away "see ya"

Fox accesses the mainframe of the Corneria Hyperspace Agency, and obtains permission for hyperspace tomorrow at noon. He goes off to join Falco for a drink when, they come in.

"how do you like Krystal's new look" Katt sidesteps and sees a blushing Krystal in navy blue short shorts, a skin-tight light gray blouse and a black jacket, still wearing her necklace, head gem, wristbands, and sandals.

"whoa, that's ummmmm" Fox looks away at the window "great….."

"see I told you Fox would be speechless" Katt laughs, and Krystal looks up a little

"I don't think Fox really likes it" Krystal staring at Fox

Fox quickly looks back "no, its great, and who knows maybe you'll make a fashion statement"

Krystal looks up a little more "uh, Fox what's a fashion statement" Falco walks in

"hey who's the new girl?"

"that's Krystal" Katt says then grabs Falco's arm and pulls him away "and we still need that talk, bye you guys" they exit the room

"so, Krystal" she stops blushing and looks up completely "I guess you've made friends with Katt"

"yeah, she's really nice, but she's a little pushy" Krystal walks up to Fox

"that's Katt for you"

"how come whenever Katt talks to Falco, he blushes"

"well they both like each other, but there both to proud to admit it, and when someone brings up the topic, they quickly change it"

"well, they make a very good couple" she smiles

"yeah, I guess"

"Katt kept on asking if I was more than friends with you" they both sit down in a chair

"and what did you say"

"I said, yes" Krystal said in a sincere tone

"why did you say that?" in a strange tone

"because we're good friends" she walks over and hugs him "and I'd like to thank you for everything you've done for me"

"you don't have to" Fox said blushing, and hugs her back.

Krystal looks into Fox's eyes and smiles, Fox looks back into her shimmering emerald eyes and smiles as well.

Fox then wished he could stop time and stay there. Looking into her beautiful arresting, shimmering for all time.

A/N: I know this one stinks, but I've been busy and sick. So please read and review, if a bad review (which I expect) comes up, tell me why.Hey, you know Katt's arwing number, well every 2 numbers is a letter in the alphabet, try to find out what it spells. Who made up the love story thing between Katt and Faclo anyways?
