Ellie looked up, shocked at what she had just done. She had done one of the worst things you could possibly do to someone you truly adore. And she had bit the leg of Fox McCloud.

"AAAAAAH! MY FREAKING LEG!" cried Fox as he held his leg.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bite your leg! I meant to bite Krystal's!" she said apologizing.

"Ellie, how could you? That's not very lady like!" said Krystal tending to Fox's leg.

"Damn! It feels like a chunk of my leg meat was bit off!" he cried rolling up his pant leg to see the bite marks on his leg.

There were eight bite marks on Fox's leg, four on the top and four on the bottom. It wasn't bleeding, but it was red and a little purple in a small circle where the bite is.

"Man, that's gonna hurt tomorrow," said Fox while rubbing his leg, "and that's pretty damn close to my balls. Like eight inches or something," he said rolling his pant leg back down.

Ellie moved the chair out of the doorway and sulked out of the room feeling sad and sorry for what she had done. All the kids watched her leave the room and were confused at what'd happened.

Later that day, it was seven o' clock and Ellie's friends left after Ellie bit Fox, grumbling about what a lame party it was. Fox, Krystal, and Ellie all sat at the dining room table eating dinner. They all had bratwurst mixed in spaghetti with some added seasonings and buttered bread. No one talked throughout the whole time they ate and it was a very awkward dinner. After dinner, they all were watching T.V. until time passed by even more and it was eight o' clock.

"Well I don't know about you two but I'm gonna take a shower," said Fox walking up the stairs to the bathroom.

"I want you to go shower right after him," said Krystal.

She started walking up the stairs and was about to turn to go to her room when Ellie asked, "Can't I shower with him?"

"Absolutely not!"

"But why?" asked Ellie starting to pout.

"Because you might try something funny in there with him, besides, you are old enough and perfectly capable of showering alone," said Krystal firmly.

"But-" but Ellie was interrupted by Krystal.

"No buts! You are to shower right after Fox gets out. And that's final!" said Krystal while leaving Ellie still watching T.V.

"Darn," she said snapping her fingers angrily.

Several minutes passed and Fox had just finished taking a shower. He stepped out of the bathroom with the towel wrapped around his waist. He saw Ellie still watching T.V. and said, "Your turn," he said pointing towards the shower.

He started walking away when his towel got snagged on a part of the railing on the stairs and his towel came off, revealing everything. Fox screamed and gasped as he saw Ellie notice him naked and she started blushing then turned away. Fox quickly put his towel back on and ran off to his room.

Damn it Fox! How could you let her see you naked you ass! he said cursing at himself in his mind.

Fox changed into his night clothes composing of just blue pajama pants and no shirt. He stepped into Krystal's room and saw her meditating and he sat down on the bed.

"Um, Krystal? Could I talk to you?" Fox asked while watching Krystal.

"Sure. What is it?" she asked getting up and sitting next to him.

"Okay, when I stepped out of the shower a little while ago, I told Ellie it was her turn to take her bath and when I turned to leave and…well…my towel got snagged on the railing and Ellie saw…everything," Fox said grinning foolishly.

"Fox! You can't let a girl her age see your cock! How could you let that happen!" she asked very disappointed at Fox.

"It got snagged on the railing! I didn't no until it was too late!"

"Well, we can't do anything about it now," she said with a sigh then smacked Fox on the head.

"Ow! What was that for!" he asked rubbing his head.

"For letting her see your dick. Don't make anymore mistakes like that again, you could mess up her mind!"

"Or make her horny," then he got hit again, "Ow! I was just kidding!"

"Fox, stop acting like Falco. Now I have to finish meditating. Be more careful around her. Okay?"

"Alright, I'll try."

"Good," then Krystal gave him a kiss, "now I have to meditate," she said going back to her meditation.

Fox walked into the kitchen and got a glass of water when he heard the doorbell ring.

"Who could that be? Maybe Pepper got off early," he pondered while walking to the door.

He opened the door and saw Falco standing there with another smaller falcon next to him.

"Heeeeeey dude!" Falco said grinning stupidly.

"Are you drunk? Who's the little guy?" asked Fox referring to Falco's little cousin.

"Who the hell do you think? It's Leo, my psychotic cousin who likes to throw knives," said Falco rubbing Leo's head.

"Oh yeah…I remember like it was yesterday even though it was a couple of weeks back," said Fox going into one of those weird, hippy looking flashbacks.

A few weeks back, Falco asked Fox if he could baby-sit Leo for the day since he had some "family business" to take care of, family…yeah. Anyway, Fox was left with Leo who is a schizophrenia, which is a disease in which one takes on the role of many (you could be a doctor one minute then a crack dealer the next). He also has A.D.H.D. which is Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder which is really bad. And he's an insomniac which means he can't sleep which is a bad thing. So anyway, long story short, Fox escaped with his balls still dangling from between his legs…barely…

"I like cereal," said Leo with a psycho grin.

"Um…I know…you told me…fourteen-thousand, three-hundred and seventy-nine times," said Fox.

"I LIKE CEREAL!" screamed Leo.

"Dude! Shut him up before he wakes the dead!" said Fox shoving Leo and Falco inside.

"Okay. Well-" said Falco who was interrupted by Leo.

"I like chocolate milk," said Leo cutting off Falco.

"Hey Leo…FIRE, FIRE!" screamed Falco.

"DON'T WORRY I'M A PRO AT THIS! I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!" he screamed like he's been on crack since…ever, "Stand back! Watch this!" then Leo cracks his knuckles, gets in a running position, and………………………………..farts, loud.

"Fire's out," then he calms down.

"Well, that was easy," said Falco smoothly, then looked at Fox.

Fox looked like his jaw had dropped to the ground and he looked at Falco like he turned water into an AK-47.

"IS THAT WHAT I HAD TO DO TO CALM HIM DOWN!" screamed Fox shaking Falco.

"Um, yeah. Didn't I tell you?" Falco asked still acting cool.

"NO! YOU DIDN'T!" said Fox still screaming.

"Okay, okay! Calm down fuzzy. Geez," said Falco making it seem like it was nothing.

Fox finally calmed down after a minute or two then said, "How was the therapist?"

"Therapist? Oh! Oh yeah! Uh… the therapist…he cancelled," said Falco obviously lying.

"Then why didn't you come back sooner?"

"I hate baby-sitting."

"Then why the hell did you say you would!"

"I was bored. My brain shut down."

"What are you, a stoner?"

"Only on my own time, I mean…no?" said Falco trying to cover up something obvious.

"Dude! You're a stoner? Why didn't you give me any of that stuff?"

"Cause you're a goody-goody," he said sitting down on a recliner.

"Okay, well…where's Leo?" asked Fox looking around the room.

As if on cue yet again, a shriek was heard from upstairs (floor number two), Fox and Falco ran up the stairs and saw the bathroom door open and Leo was standing in front of the open door.

"Hey! Your nude!" said Leo pointing at every place he's never seen before.

"GET OUT!" screamed Ellie as she slammed the bathroom door on Leo.

"Naked girly," he said trying to open the door, "it's locked."

"By any chance, did you show him porn?" asked Fox.

"Me? Falco? Show a young child porn? Why that's absurd!" said Falco defensively.

Fox looked at Falco with disbelief.

"Yeah, I showed him a couple of films."

Fox hit Falco then walked up to Leo and crouched to his height.

"I want you to forget everything you just saw in that bathroom."

"I want to see the naked girly!" he said pulling out three Japanese shuriken.

"Oh man not again!"

Fox ran as Leo tossed the first two shurikens at Fox, missing by a hair.

"Stop your psycho cousin!" screamed Fox as he hid behind a table he tipped over.

"Stop. No. Bad dog," he said reading a magazine while chewing bubble gum.

Leo threw the last shuriken and missed by the skin of tail, literally.

"Gah! That is some good accuracy! God damn!" he screamed holding onto his tail for dear life.

"I've taught you well, Leo," Falco said rubbing Leo's head.

"I like cereal AND NAKED GIRLIES!" he screamed again.

"Yeah, I know, now go to sleep before I tell uncle Mario what you did with his seventy-two inch plasma screen T.V."

"Okay…I like chocolate milk," he said hugging Falco's leg then circling him like a dog and laying down.

"Okay, he's weirding me out," said Fox slowly stepping from behind the table.

Krystal walked out of her room and saw Falco with Leo laying next to him and Fox beside the tipped over table.

"What the hell is going on out here?" she asked noticing the shurikens on the wall.

Then Ellie left the bathroom sprinting to her room (floor number three) in a towel that's bigger than her wrapped around her.

"And why is she so fast all of a sudden?"

"Let me explain," said Fox.

After about ten minutes of explaining and whacking Falco over the head, Krystal understood everything and also hit Falco over the head.

"You know, if you two keep hitting my head, I could get brain damage, and no one wants me with brain damage."

"Who says we don't?" asked Fox hitting him again.

"Hit me again McCloud and the knife throwing psycho wakes up with an SMG (sub machine gun)!"

"Fine, fine! Just…why did you come back?"

"I wanted to torture you."

"We've had a bad enough time here as it is. We don't need you making things worse!" said Krystal firmly.

"Whatever as long as I get paid."

"Okay, Corneria's Most Wanted," Fox said making fun of Falco.

"Some day, your gonna get it soooo bad," said Falco ready to kill Fox.

"Whatever. Don't wake your cousin or I'm gonna kick your ass after I somehow get the knives away from him."

Ellie came back downstairs and demanded an explanation about Leo and Falco acting like an idiot. They gave another ten minute explanation then went downstairs to the kitchen.

"So, basically what you're saying is, Leo is messed up?" asked Ellie.

"In a way…hey wait a second! You want me to wake him up? That's my cousin, and he fits in with the family. How do you think he got so good at throwing knives?" Falco said defending Leo and pointing to himself.

"You trained him to be a mini murderer?" asked Fox getting a can of soda.

"Not a murderer, a hitman."

"Falco, you are the most idiotic person known to anthropomorphic animals everywhere," said Krystal trying to stay calm.

(Anthropomorphic-any animal that can stand on it's hind legs.)

"Yeah, yeah, I'm dumb, I've heard it all before," said Falco eating some chicken he cooked up.

"So are you staying here or leaving soon?" asked Ellie drinking some milk.

"I'm staying. I get paid more if I'm here."

"Ha! I'm getting more than you," said Fox gloating.

"Shut up, it's not like Pepper knows I was gone."

"But we can tell him," he said with a singing tone.

"I can wake up Leo," he said mimicking Fox.

"I can forget I said that," said Fox still with a singing tone.

"How did Leo get so…messed up?" asked Krystal.

"Lots and lots of hard work…I mean brain damage…yeah, brain damage. Plus my aunt Maria drank a lot while she was pregnant with him," said Falco acting shifty.

"This is boring! Fox, take me to bed," said Ellie all pouty like.

"Uh, okay?" said Fox picking up Ellie and taking her to her room.

Krystal watched Fox take Ellie to her room. Ellie looked up at Krystal and flipped her off and had a look that said "I'm stealing your man."

"You little-" said Krystal but was cut off from Falco's laughter.

"Oh man! That's what's been going on since I left? I should've never left! Damn," said Falco still laughing.

Falco picks up Leo, without waking him up, and takes him to where they would sleep.

Krystal was left to wallow in whatever she was left to wallow in and pounded her fist on the table.

Fox laid Ellie down on her bed and was ready to leave when Ellie said, "Read me a bed time story."

"Aren't you a little old for-" but is cut off by Ellie.

"I want a god damn bed time story now!"

"Hey! Don't use that type of language until your thirteen! Then you can curse your ass off! Until then, don't curse, and I will not read you a bed time story," said Fox sounding like General Pepper, sorta.

"Can I have a kiss good night?"

"Go to sleep," said Fox as he closed the door.

Fox groaned and checked the time.

"Just two more hours," he said noticing it was ten o'clocl andwalking back downstairs, when he heard Ellie crying.

He went back into Ellie's room and she stopped when he walked in.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm scared of the dark."

Fox groaned again and asked, "Do you got a night light or something?"

"No."

Then I wonder how you sleep at night thought Fox.

"Okay, then how would I get you to go to sleep?"

"Sleep with me?"

(Again, I mean that in the most nonsexual way.)

"But I was gonna go downstairs and-" but was cut off again.

"But I can't sleep! Uncle Pepper let's me sleep in his bed."

"Oh my god why did I say I would do this," said Fox mumbling to himself, "just…think of me and close your eyes, now go to sleep," he said leaving and going downstairs.

"Okay, I get Ellie to go to bed and…Falco! What've you done!"
