Fox, Falco, and Krystal all arrived at Pepper's mansion after leaving their Arwings' in a Cornerian base. They stood in the front of the mansion, admiring it's beauty, except for Falco who had his typical bad boy attitude.

"Can we go in now?" asked Falco who was getting impatient.

"It's so beautiful! This must've cost a fortune!" said Krystal appalled by the mansion.

"Well let's go in and meet Pepper's niece," said Fox walking to the door.

Falco walked with Fox up to the door followed by Krystal after she was done admiring the mansion on the outside. Fox was about to ring the doorbell when Pepper's niece opened the door, slamming it against the wall leaving a dent the size of the door knob.

"Oh my god! You're Fox McCloud!" screamed Pepper's niece with a high-pitched scream.

When she screamed, the three team members jumped and covered there ears until she stopped.

"Uncle Pepper! Star Fox is here!"

General Pepper walked down the stairs of the mansion holding a big, brown briefcase and wearing his usual uniform with all the shiny medals on it.

"Good afternoon, Star Fox," he said walking up to Fox.

"Good afternoon, sir. When do you expect to be back from your trip?"

"I should be returning around midnight, if I'm lucky," he said looking at his watch, "are you sure you can handle this?" he asked.

"Don't worry general we can handle this," said Falco shooing his hand, "you go ahead and make your deal or whatever."

"Okay. Now Ellie, I want you to behave and do as Fox, Falco, and Krystal say," he said crouching to her height.

"Okay uncle Pepper!" she said all cheery.

"Good. I must get going. I will see you all later. Good-bye!" he said walking out of the mansion.

"So Ellie, how old are you?" asked Fox as he was admiring the inside of the mansion.

"As old as you want me to be," she said getting closer.

"Excuse me?" he asked wondering what that meant.

"Will you marry me?" she asked staring into his emerald eyes.

"Your uh, sweet…but I'm taken," he said looking over to Krystal.

"Okay little Miss Horny dog, mind giving us a tour of your home?" asked Falco who was still looking around.

"I have no idea what you just called me. Okay, I'll give you a tour. Come on!" she said taking Fox's hand and pulling him to another room.

"That girl is going to cause some trouble," said Krystal staring at Ellie.

"You know it," said Falco, "I'm gonna get a good laugh from this hopefully," he said starting to grin.

Krystal and Falco followed Ellie as she gave them a tour of the mansion. She took them through all three floors, showed them all the rooms, where they would sleep (Ellie said Fox could stay with her, knowing he wouldn't), and where everything they need to know is.

"Okay! That's the entire mansion!" she said throwing her arms into the air.

"It's a lot bigger than I thought," said Fox who sat down on a chair, "so many stairs to climb."

"Well, it's three o'clock, how about I make a snack for everyone?" asked Krystal as she entered the kitchen.

Ellie followed Krystal and showed her the pantry with all the different types of foods she could make.

"All the good stuff is at the top so you're gonna need a stool or something. I'll go see what everyone wants," said Ellie as she went back to Fox and Falco.

She better not trying anything funnythought Krystal as she searched the pantry.

Ellie jumped on Fox's lap and leaned against him and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Fox was kind of startled that she jumped onto his lap, but shrugged it off andthought about what to eat.

"Hmm, well…got any Cheese Sticks?" Fox asked looking down at Ellie.

"You mind cookin' up some chicken too?" asked Falco who was leaning against the wall trying to look all cool.

"Yeah, yeah, sure," she said not paying any attention to Falco.

"I'll be right back! Don't move!" she said ordering Fox then dashing to the kitchen.

She bumped into Krystal who was waiting to see what they wanted.

"So what do they want to eat?" asked Krystal.

"Cheese Sticks. There are many boxes of them all the way up top. And in the back. Reach really, really, really good," she said reaching up as high as she could.

"Now why would someone put them back there?"

"I don't know," she said starting to leave, "don't fall down," she said warning her.

Ellie skipped back into the living room with Fox and Falco who were now watching shows on the big screen plasma T.V.

"How many movie channels do you got on here! It never ends!" asked Falco who was amazed by the T.V.

"You got a lot of great channels on here. You must never get bored," said Fox as he was waiting for Falco to stop channel flipping.

Ellie jumped back onto Fox's lap and was getting comfortable (I mean that in the most nonsexual way) as they all began to watch T.V. Krystal walked in after setting the microwave to cook the Cheese Sticks.

"What's your favorite show Fox?"

"Mine would be-" Fox was interrupted as Falco spoke.

"Hey Fox, I just remembered, I got my psychotic cousin Leo, the nine year old who threw a knife at you? I gotta take him to the therapist again so I gotta leave you guys here. So…bye!" then herushed out he door,went back to the base,got in his Arwing, and took off.

"You know, I knew he was gonna do that today," he said pounding on his leg.

"Is something wrong Fox?"

"My leg (hit) fell asleep," he said tryingto regain the feeling in his leg.

"Let me help," said Krystal as she sat down in front of Fox.

She got on her knees and started rubbing Fox's leg to help regain the feeling in it. Ellie hopped off of Fox's leg and watched Krystal help Fox (Nothing sexual here!). Ellie started pouting now that she was getting no attention from Fox and thought of something to get Krystal out of the room.

"I think I heard the microwave go off," then as if on cue, it did, "cheese sticks are ready!"

"Be right back," said Krystal walking off to get the food.

"Man! My leg is still asleep!" said Fox trying to walk it off.

He looked like he was walking with a limp as he tried to get the feeling back into his leg. Krystal came back holding a tray of hot cheese sticks.

"Fox, sit down and lift your feet onto this leg rest."

Fox put his feet on the leg rest Krystal pulled from behind the chair and she continued massaging his leg while he and Ellie ate cheese sticks. Knowing that Krystal and Fox might be there for some time, Ellie thought of trying stuff from the movies. She picked up the phone and called several different people. Once Fox finally regained the feeling in his leg, he gave Krystal a kiss for helping him and they shared cheese sticks when they realized Ellie was gone.

"Where did she go? Ellie!" said Krystal calling for her.

"You called?" asked Ellie popping up from behind Fox's chair.

"Where did you go?"

"I called some people."

"You could've told us you were going to," said Fox, "wait a second! Who did you call?" and as if on cue again, the doorbell rang.

Fox opened the door and said, "Oh crap."
