Fox and Falco searched all over Washington. The searched the parks, the city….even some alleyways (WTF?). No apple trees were in sight.

They were just walking through a small part of the city, tired from all the searching.

"Man Fox, how are we supposed to get the leaves of an apple tree if there are none!"

Fox sighed, closing his eyes. "This is Washington, where Washington Apples grow! I'm sure if we search hard enough, we'll find an apple tree to get the leaves!"

Falco just hung his head. "There is no way we'll find one in-"

WA BAM!

Falco slammed into a door that just opened.

A girl swung her head outward. "Oh god! I am sooo sorry!"

Falco was on the ground, muttering "Ohh…look at the pretty birdies!" He pointed up, where a pigeon was giving him an evil look.

(A/N: ACK! EVIL PIGEON! Shoots it down)

Everybody stares at the bloody spot where the pigeon lies, shrugs, and continues on.

The girl helped Falco up. She wasn't very tall, but not uber-short either. Her long brown hair cascaded across her shoulders. She was wearing a light blue shirt which hung loosely from her body. A necklace holding a golden, upside down pyramid with an eye on the front hung loosely from her neck. Her blue jeans ended right at her shoes, which were, in no doubt, blue. Falco stared past her silver-rimmed glasses and into her bright green eyes.

"M-My gosh…you're beautiful…."

The girl just stared. She turned to Fox. "Is he always like this?"

"Only when he's in love."

The girl blushed as Falco stood up again. "I'm Daricio."

"Well, I'm Fox, and this is Falco."

"Fox? Falco? What were your parents thinking!"

"What were our parents thinking! What were your parents thinking!"

Falco was getting impatient. "Fox, we need to am-scray! We have to find that apple tree!"

Daricio raised her eyebrow. "Apple Tree?"

"We have a very sick friend back home," Fox explained.

"Yeah, and if we don't get him leaves from an apple tree, then he'll turn once again into a zombie-making Freak! OOF!" Falco grabbed his stomach where Fox elbowed him.

"Zombie making freak? Apple Tree Leaves? You wouldn't be talking about the Type Z Pica Disease, would you?"

Fox and Falco looked dumbstruck. "You know of the Type Z pica disease?"

Daricio shrugged. "I had to research it for a Health Project in school."

"So, you know where to find an apple tree?"

Again, Daricio shrugged. "Well, the nearest one in the city is in the Park…but the park's closed due to some boring private party my parents are attending or something…."

FLASH TO THE PARK!

There is a lot of alcohol…let's just leave it at that.

FLASH BACK TO THE THREE!

"So, we can't save Pi-…er…our friend?"

Something in Fox mind clicked. "Wait...Falco, remember what I told you at the airport?"

"Not to crash into taco bell?"

"No!"

"Fangirls are bad?"

"No…well, yes, but no!"

"OH! You mean that our spaceship is parked by the big tree? OOF!" This is when Falco collapses, due to the fact that Fox just drop-kicked him….then kicked him in the private region….then pile-drived him….in the private region.

But it was too late. Daricio had already heard. "S-spaceship?"

Fox looked up, then grabbed Falco and ran. Daricio locked the door which had knocked Falco over, and then ran after them.

Fox and Falco arrived at the Airport. They stood in awe at the huge apple tree that stood before them.

"How could we have missed this before!" Fox sighed.

"Because we're idiots?"

"Right."

Meanwhile, behind a bush that was conveniently close to Fox and Falco, Daricio was hidden amongst the brush, spying on the two.

"Now, how are we supposed to get to those leaves?"

"Easy! I'll just fly up there!"

Fox sighed. "All right…no one is in this part of the airport, so…Hologram: Off"

With that, both Fox's and Falco's holograms of normal teens disappeared, revealing their true forms…a Fox and a Falcon Anthromorph.

"Oh my Gods!"

Fox and Falco whipped around. "Daricio!"

"I knew I recognized both of your names!" Daricio popped up from the bush. "Man, I can't believe that you two are real!"

Fox sighed. "Yeah, you found us out."

"But, why are you two doing way out here in Washington?"

"Well…" Fox Began.

AUTHOR INTRUSION! Since you all know what he's going to say, we'll instead feature something else for the next few paragraphs!

…ok, forget that, we'll just fastforward!

After Fox Explained, Daricio's eyes go wide. "Little Pichu! Oh my….Well, it's a good thing Falco Gathered up a lot of Leaves while you were talking!"

Falco placed the Leaves in the trunk. "All set!"

Fox turned to the aircraft. Daricio placed her hand on Fox's shoulder. "Let me go with you."

"What!" Falco jumped down, landing next to both of them.

"Well, you both, and a select others, are the only ones without the disease. You might need some time to fight off the zombified others if we don't have the antidote in time."

Falco looked at Fox. "She's got a point there ya know."

Fox looked at Daricio. "You good with a phaser gun?"

"If it's anything like a toy gun, then yeah, I'm good with a phaser gun."

"All right! Let's move out!"
