Chapter 21: The Resort Colony, Xavix-Yuan PART 3
After a long and peaceful walk down the beach, they arrived at the same changing rooms that they had previously visited. Fox un-shouldered his backpack and returned all the cloths Krystal had worn previously before arriving on the beach. She accepted them and withdrew back into the ladies changing room. Fox then turned and entered into his designated room as well. It was not long after they had separated before they rejoined outside of the small building in their regular attire and began to make their way down the streets of Xavix-Yuan.
The colony seemed to take a completely different personality at this time of night. Every building was adorned with thousands of lights, each having it's own color of lighting and style. All the bright colors that were being emitted from each of the buildings that lined the streets seemed to set off the surrounding area with a rainbow of colors that reflected off of the occasional slowly passing hovertaxi. The large number of palm trees that lined the sidewalks seemed to absorb all the colors within it's large leaves, each glowing with it's own unique blend of colors. It was easy to become distracted by all these wonderful lights and colors, and like so many of the other animals that wondered the streets at this time of night, Fox and Krystal had fallen into the same awe-induced trance. They had set out originally to find a place to eat, but their hunger seemed to be easily quenched by the exciting yet relaxing nature that was found in this new side of Xavix-Yuan.
For a long time, they simply ambled through the town, letting the atmosphere clear their minds of any stressful or negative thoughts that may still have remained after they left the beach. Every once in a while, they would stop in at one of the many shops that lined the streets in that area for a change of pace. Krystal seemed interested in all these new things that she had never seen before, each item that sparked her interest spurred a question to which Fox would give his best answer. It had almost become second nature for him to constantly be answering questions concerning trivial items. Although this may have seemed tedious to some, Fox could find happiness in the fact that he was helping a vulpine who had come from a primitive planet like Cerinia adapt to much more modernized times. It also gave them something to talk about, which was perhaps the greater relief to Fox, who, even though he was doing a pretty convincing job at keeping his cool, still felt slightly nervous around Krystal now that they were by themselves and away from the team.
After about an hour of peaceful walking and admiring the ambiance of the colony, Fox soon realized that they had not eaten since they had left the beach. Even though the colony had seemed to keep his mind of his stomach for an impressive amount of time, the feeling he now developed was too overwhelming to ignore. His stomach let out a loud growl, which let not only him, but everyone that stood within a seven-foot radius, know that he was hungry.
Fox grabbed onto his stomach with one arm while he placed his opposite hand on the back of his head out of embarrassment. Krystal laughed quietly and said, "I suppose that means it's about time we found a place to eat." Fox flashed a smile back at her and replied, "I'd say that's a pretty fair assessment. I guess it's pretty easy to lose track of time in a place like this." Krystal nodded as they both began to search for a place where they could sit down and eat.
It didn't take long at all for them to find a restaurant among all the different shops and stores, but it seemed that finding the right one proved more difficult. There must have been hundreds of places to eat in that immediate area, but many of them were either too formal or expensive for the two vulpines to even consider. They had walked almost a full loop of a small area of the town, and soon found themselves again near the beach. Luckily, Fox was finally able to spot out a small restaurant that sat on the edge of where the pavement came to an end and the sand began its run down to the shoreline. It was a tropical looking building, being almost completely made of bamboo and tropical leaves, it seemed like a nice enough place to stop and eat, not that Fox really cared where they ate at this point. All it took for him to decide on this place was the pleasant smell that leaked out from the small gaps that were created by the slightly crooked pieces of bamboo that served as the restaurant's walls.
Krystal pointed up the small ramp that led into the restaurant and said, "This place looks rather nice, why don't we have something to eat here?" Fox had already begun to make his way up the ramp before he responded, "Sure, This place'll work, I don't think I could take it if I had to walk around anymore." Krystal only smiled in reply as she slowly jogged after Fox. They both entered the restaurant just as she returned to his side.
The inside of this restaurant did not look much different from the outside; the walls were completely made out of bamboo and the ceiling overhead was made up of hundreds of large dried palm leaves. As they walked further into the restaurant, they saw an open table that was located on the far end of the building that sat next to a wall. On that wall was a large squared-off gap that had been carved into the bamboo, creating a large open-air window that seemed to circulate the warm breeze from outside into the building. They took the short walk to the table, and as they did, they noticed a few animals standing in a short line beside two large tables that were filled with many different kinds of foods and drinks.
Before they reached the table, Fox stopped and pointed towards the line of animals. "That table over there is where we'll get our food, it's called a buffet. You just pay up front and then you can eat as much of whatever you want." Krystal gazed over towards the tables and replied, "I see, so we won't have to wait for them to prepare our food, we can just pick out what we want right away." Fox nodded and responded, "Pretty much, so once we get our seats and we pay, then we'll have a free run at all that food." Krystal smiled and replied, "It sounds like this would be a choice place for you to eat Fox." He let out a short chuckle and responded, "Well, it's not everyday I get hungry like this, but for today, I think I can probably make it work to my advantage."
It was only a short while after they had taken their seats at the table they had seen earlier before a young lioness, who was dressed in a tropical looking uniform, came to greet them. "Welcome to the Seaside Buffet. My name is Savanna, and I'll be you're server today. What can I do for you?" Fox nodded and replied, "Ya, we're both gonna take a shot at those buffet tables over there." The lioness smiled and responded, "I see, well, for two buffet meals, your total comes out to sixty-five credits." Fox hesitated for a second, realizing that this was a pretty good chunk of money to spend on food, but he quickly disregarded the thought and handed over the appropriate amount of credits. Their server smiled as she accepted the credits and said, "Thank you, plates and eating utensils are found at both ends of each table, please enjoy your meal."
It was not long after their server had left before Fox and Krystal stood up from their seats and headed for the two buffet tables that sat only a few steps away. After receiving their places as they reached the table, they began to take whatever they saw desirable to eat. There was a large variety of different foods to be found at this buffet, including some things that not even Fox had seen before. After finding their plates completely full of food after going around both the buffet tables, they returned to their table and began to eat the wide assortment of foods they had managed to gather.
The beginning of the meal went by with very little conversation; both were far too distracted by the food that sat in front of them at the moment. Instead, the balmy, warm breeze that blew in from the open bamboo window seemed to speak words of it's own. The calm wind gently rustled the hair on their furry heads, creating a convincingly soothing effect of it's own. But soon, even though Fox was enjoying the peaceful combination of food and comfort, he felt that he should start some kind of conversation with her. There were a lot of questions that he had always wanted to ask her, but he could rarely find the courage to do so. When in the middle of a mission, Fox seemed to take on a completely different personality. He knew how to give orders and think up strategies, but when it came to subjects that he had so little experience with, such as his current relationship with Krystal, he could just never seem to find the words. So after swallowing a large bite, he silently cleared his throat and placed his fork back onto his near empty plate.
"Krystal…?" She quickly looked over the table in his direction and replied, "Yes?" Fox hesitated when she looked over at him, but quickly recovered by responding, "Well…can I ask you a question?" Krystal smiled and happily replied, "I think with all the questions you've answered for me this entire journey, I could surely grant you at least one." Fox smiled back at her comment, which had also seemed to calm his nerves to a great extent. He replied, "I guess your right. Well, I've always wondered what your home planet was like. If you don't mind, I'd like to hear what it was really like on Cerinia." To Fox's surprise, Krystal actually gave him a quiet chuckle in return. "I suppose I do owe you an explanation. After all, both you and I are fated to rescue that place…but where to begin?" Fox thought for a second and then replied, "Just tell me what it was like, what the animals were like there, it really doesn't make any difference to me." Krystal nodded and responded, "Very well, I'll try to give you a description of the land itself." Krystal hesitated for a moment as she tried to recall memories of her past, most of which were painful, but she managed to keep those out of her mind while she began to recall her home planet.
"Well, Cerinia was for the longest time a very peaceful place. Since as long as our records had existed, there had never been anything described like what happened shortly before the war between the tribes arose, but this is beside the point. It was a rather large planet, at least to we Cerinians, who really had no knowledge otherwise. To you, the several tribes that inhabited our planet would have seemed quite primitive, but we made good use of what we had. The landscape itself was quite tropical and humid, which made it possible for many different kinds of diverse vegetation to thrive all year long. There also must have been hundreds of pristine waterfalls and rivers that were scattered across the land where our tribe lived. I fondly remember back to the days when I was just a kit back on Cerinia, I would spend almost everyday in the presence of these waterfalls. It was a peaceful place to relax after morning training sessions with the elders. I just sat there on my own all day and thought about what the future could possibly hold for me."
She paused as she looked up at Fox with a smile and continued, "But never in all my dreams could I have possibly imagined that I would end up where I am today." Fox smiled back and replied, "Well, I can see why. Coming from a nice and peaceful planet like Cerinia and then being forced to tag along with a bunch of mercenaries like us in a dangerous fight against some insane bad guy doesn't sound like the kind of thing I'd dream of either." Krystal let out a quiet giggle after swallowing a bite of what was left on her plate. She returned her attention back to Fox and replied, "Well, it hasn't turned out to be all bad." Fox nodded with a smirk and responded, "Ya, being able to spend some free time here at Xavix-Yuan is a nice distraction from our mission." Krystal gently shook her head and replied, "Yes, but Fox…that's not exactly what I…" She hesitated as she approached the end of her sentence, at which point she just shook her head again and ended, "Well…never mind."
Fox gave her a confused look, but quickly decided against trying to force it out of her. Instead, he let out a tired yawn and said, "Man, I'm feeling really tired all of a sudden." Krystal smiled over at him and responded, "Well, I suppose the combination of all the walking we did and that large meal you just consumed could cause you to feel a bit drowsy, and it has become quite late after all." Krystal let out a small yawn of her own as she neared the end of her sentence and continued, "I'm quite tired myself, perhaps it would be best if we returned to our hotel for the night." Fox slowly stood up from his chair and responded, "Good idea, no sense running around town if we're both half asleep." Krystal rose soon after him and they both quietly exited the building side-by-side.
Once they left the small bamboo restaurant, they found themselves again in the presence of thousands of brilliantly colored lights. From here, the effect of the colors seemed to be even more impressive. Since they were standing just on the end of the beach, it seemed like the entire colony had opened up in front of them. As they again began walking through the streets of the colony, Krystal commented as she admired the colorful displays, "During this time of night, it seems like this place manages to create an entirely new type of atmosphere that is much different than what it was during the day." Fox nodded as he also gazed around at the glowing colors, "I know what you mean, when it was light, this place was crowded and really busy, but now that it's night and all these lights are on, it seems lot more calm and peaceful…I'd even say it was…" Krystal revealed a gentle smile as she took Fox's hand in hers and finished his sentence, "More romantic?" Fox smiled back as he slowly closed his fingers around her hand, "Ya, I guess you could say that." Now hand-in-hand, they leisurely continued their walk down the almost deserted streets of Xavix-Yuan.
It was only minutes after this occurred before they suddenly found themselves in a slightly less lit up area, although they didn't seem to notice at that moment, they were still to distracted by their interlocked hands to really take heed of anything around them. As they walked through this part of the colony, the buildings became somewhat less impressive and the smell that drifted in the air had become slightly hazy.
A voice suddenly arose from behind them, which broke the content silence that Fox and Krystal had shared for the last few minutes. "Hey you guys, take a look at that hot little vixen." Another voice chimed in shortly after, "Damn, that's got to be one of the nicest bodies I've ever seen on an animal." The first voice called out in a slightly wavering voice, which made it easy to tell that the voice's owner was clearly drunk, "Hey you! Come here a minute." Fox and Krystal stopped as they turned to face the voices. They were coming from a small group of wolves, three in all, who were all standing outside a small bar. The largest of the wolves spoke again, "That's right, I'm talking to you foxy. Can I talk to you for a second?" Fox shook his head and said quietly to Krystal, "Just forget about them, let's keep…" Fox was cut off as the group slowly approached the vulpine couple. The larger wolf spoke again, but this time to Fox, "Don't worry buddy, I just want to get to know you're little vixen friend a little better." The two remaining wolves that stood behind the larger wolf began to snicker loudly. Fox didn't really know what to do; there was no telling what these wolves would do if Fox tried to intervene, considering the drunken state they were in.
The wolf spoke to Krystal in a weird voice, "The name's Tristan, and I couldn't help but notice that you are quite an attractive female. You have one hell of a body." Krystal could only stand there and respond in a shy and insecure voice, "That's…nice of you to say…" Tristan smiled as he continued, "I don't think you'll be getting your fair share of action from this guy over here. Myself, on the other hand, I can give you what you really deserve." Krystal took a few almost unnoticeable steps backwards as she responded nervously, "…What do you mean by that?" Fox was about to run at the wolf, but his two drunken buddies jumped to Fox's side and quickly held him back. Tristan gave off a large smirk as he walked behind Krystal and ran both his hands provocatively down her sides. "Ya know, a little…fun…" With that, he removed one of his hands from her side and placed it squarely on her butt. Krystal gave out a shriek as she felt the contact and hastily jumped away. Fox screamed at the top of his lungs as he saw this, "Get away from her!" He tried to struggle free, but he just couldn't muster the strength. Krystal had a terrified look on her face as the wolf approached her again, "So whadya say sexy? I've already got a nice room set up at my place, I'm sure you'll enjoy it."
At this point, a large crowd had begun to gather at the threshold of the bar door, intently watching the scene that was playing out in front of them. Krystal backed away from the wolf for as long as she could until she backed into a surrounding wall. The wolf quickly took advantage by placing both his hands next to Krystal's head against the wall, making it impossible for her to escape. Their faces were only inches apart, and Krystal was forced to breathe in the strong scent of alcohol that rolled of the wolf's breath. Tristan smirked as he moved both his hands onto Krystal's shoulders and began to remove the vest she wore from her body, "We don't even need a room really, we can go at it right here if you want, makes no difference to me foxy."
As Fox heard this, the emotion that had been accumulating within him boiled over. With a burst of sudden emotional energy, he broke free from the hold of the two wolves and began a mad dash towards Tristan. Upon hearing Fox approaching, Tristan turned, leaving one hand on Krystal to keep her in place, and with the other, he pulled a knife from a concealed pocket on the inside of the jacket he was wearing. He smirked and threatened, "If you try and stop me, I'll kill you on the spot. Got that?" Fox shook his head and replied, "Thanks for the warning, but you won't get away with any of this." Tristan let out a malicious laugh and responded, "Well aren't you the little hero, thinking you can take the three of us down and save your friend here, I don't think the odds are on your…"
Before the wolf had time to react, Fox ran up in front of him and kicked the knife free of Tristan's hand. Fox smirked as he replied, "I'm actually liking my odds at this point." The wolf let out an angry howl after being caught off guard like he had and quickly threw a wild punch in Fox's direction, but due to the fact that he was so heavily intoxicated, the blow fell no where near its mark. Fox quickly dodged to the side and delivered a strong kick to Tristan's stomach, which winded him and caused him to fall on the ground, gasping for air. Fox took the few seconds he had to return to Krystal's side, he stood just in front of her and said, "Just stay there and you'll be fine, I'll take care of them." Krystal nodded and fearfully huddled against the wall.
Not long after that, the remaining members of Tristan's gang charged after Fox. They came at him side-by-side, howling at the top of their drunken voices. Fox merely had to jump to the side to avoid both their attempted blows and watched as they tripped over themselves and stumbled onto the ground next to Tristan. They recovered slowly and when they did, so did their leader Tristan. He pointed at Fox while still holding an arm over his stomach and yelled, "You got lucky once, but that won't happen again, let's get em' boys!"
Fox knew that his only hope to win a fight like this was to take advantage of everything he could, which in this case would be each of the wolf's inability to fight properly due to the alcohol that hindered their strength and accuracy. Fox watched as all three wolves came charging at him in a quick, yet slightly crooked path. He allowed them to come about a yard away from him before he jumped out of the way, placing himself a few feet to the right of the bar door against a wall. Fox's pursuers slowly realized that their target was no longer in sight, at which point they clumsily turned around and began to charge at him again, but Fox knew that this time, they would have a much harder time trying to recover.
Just as the trio of wolves came within a few arm lengths of Fox, he took a few short steps forward to gain momentum and used it to slide between the ranks of the oncoming wolves. They continued running and looked back as they saw Fox slide past them underfoot, but when they looked back up to turn around again, their faces were met head on with the solid wall that had previously stood behind Fox. Their faces smashed into the wall with such force, that multiple cracking sounds could be heard coming from each of their long noses, which had became either fractured or broken instantly upon contact. This sound was quickly accompanied by painful screams, which may have actually been the worse of the two noises. The three wolves then fell simultaneously to the ground and continued their cries of agony. Besides that, there was no sound but that of Fox's heavy panting, the entire crowd that stood at the bar door could only stand in amazement because of what they had just seen, a single fox had taken out three wolves in almost no time at all.
Finally, Fox broke the still silence by walking towards the wall where Krystal was sitting. He kneeled down and said, "Are you ok? I think we'll be safe now." Krystal looked up at him with a nervous smile and responded, "Fox…you saved me…" Fox smiled back as he placed a hand on her shoulder, "You bet I did, I wouldn't let anyone do that to you and get away with it." Krystal responded back, "You…never let me down…do you Fox." Fox gave a slight chuckle and replied, "Well, I try my best." Krystal's fears at that point completely vanished as she threw her arms around Fox and let a few tears of happiness fall down her face. Fox was caught off-guard by her sudden display of affection, but had no trouble in returning it. He rubbed his hand against her back and said quietly, "Now let's get out of here before we get in trouble." Krystal quickly reached around Fox to wipe the remaining tears from her eyes before she withdrew from the embrace. They rose simultaneously and once again continued on their way down the brightly lit streets of Xavix-Yuan.
After walking silently side-by-side for several minutes, Krystal managed to break the silence with a tired yawn. Fox looked over at her with a smile and said, "Well, I guess someone's getting tired." She shook her head as she finished her yawn and replied, "If anyone should be tired, it would be you. Especially after that fight you just took part in." He looked away momentarily as he explained, "I guess, but that wasn't even a real fight, those guys were drunk out of their minds. If anything, I ended up with a little more energy after having a nice workout like that." Krystal let out a slight giggle as she replied, "Well then, you won't mind a bit of extra weight, would you?" Fox gave her a questioning look as he replied, "What do you mean by that?" Krystal smiled as she gently leaned her body into Fox's side and laid the side of her head softly against his shoulder. She looked up at him from the corner of her eye and asked, "Will this be alright?" In return, Fox lowered his head onto the top of hers and replied, "Only if it's okay with you." She smiled and responded, "I suppose that would only be fair." Fox gave a let out a slight chuckle at her comment, but after that, no conversing could be heard between them, they had once again found themselves contented merely by being in each other's company.
They continued like this for only a short time however. Once they found themselves back at their hotel, they slowly retreated from the comfortable position they had held, and substituted it by instead becoming joined at the hand. They leisurely walked through the hotel's impressive lobby, which still seemed to have the same appeal that it had when they had first seen it. After a short and peaceful walk through the lobby, the two vulpines entered the small elevator that quickly returned them to the 64th floor where their room was located. After one final brief walk down the long hallway that was revealed to them after the elevator doors slid open, they found themselves in front of their room door, at which point Fox pulled the small keycard out of his back pocket, and flashed it over a small sensor on the outside of the door. A small light on the sensor began to shine a dull green color, which was followed shortly after by the sound of the door quietly unlocking.
Fox wasted no time in opening the door and entering into the luxury suite the hotel had provided him with. After Krystal was able to follow him into the room, he closed the door and secured it with a small lock that sat just to the side of the door handle. Fox immediately began to amble over towards the bed while Krystal wondered over to the sliding window, through which she could she the entire colony along with the beach, which were all illuminated with the lights of the buildings. Just as Fox had taken off his jacket and green tee shirt and was about to crawl into bed, Krystal called him from across the room, "Fox, come here, you have to see this." Fox hesitated for a moment as he sat on the comfortable bed, but quickly stood up and began to walk over to where Krystal was standing. Before he could get to her though, she reached out and slid open the large, sliding window, after which she walked outside onto the balcony. Fox followed her outside and found it slightly cold due to the fact his upper half was exposed, but that feeling was quickly forgotten as the sight of the colony fully came into view.
The view that was seen at that time of night was completely different from what it was during the daytime hours. Instead of only having the impressive buildings and oceans to look out over, they were each filled with a display of thousands upon thousands of lights. All of which seemed to illuminate the ocean that accompanied the buildings and roads, creating a soft, rippling refection off the water's calm surface. They both stood awe struck by the picturesque sight that was revealed to them.
As they both stood on the handrail admiring the sight, Krystal glanced over at Fox and commented, "I've never seen as wonderful a sight as this in my life, it's so beautiful." Fox nodded and replied in an unintentionally passive voice, "Ya…it's great." Krystal smiled as she slowly closed the distance between them and looped one of her arms with his, while placing her other free hand on his arm as well. He looked over at her as she replied, "This is probably nothing compared to the many things you've seen in all your adventures." Fox smiled back and responded, "Actually, this has got to be one of the more impressive things I've seen in a while." She hesitated for a moment before replying, "So there are things in the universe even more impressive than this? I have a hard time believing that Fox." He stared out over the colony again and replied with a smirk, "Sometimes…I do too, but somehow, you'll always end up finding something that's better. I guess that's just how things work." Fox paused as he looked out over the colony, letting a short silence come between them. Then suddenly, he let out a sudden chuckle and continued, "But sometimes…if you get lucky, you'll find something that can't be topped, no matter how hard you look. I just figured out I had found something like that, just over these past few days…" Krystal looked up at him with a smile and responded, "Really? And what could that be?"
This is it Fox…this is it, the perfect time…tell her now.
He turned and faced her, looking deep into Krystal's sapphire eyes, which she immediately noticed and wasted no time in doing the same thing in return to him. They seemed to be frozen in place as they gazed into each other's eyes. It felt as if while they did this, they could already communicate what Fox was about to say, which somehow was able to calm Fox's racing mind as he answered, "Krystal…it's you." She merely continued to stare up into his eyes, which probably told him more than anything she could have possibly said at that moment. He continued, "From the first time I saw you in that floating crystal on Dinosaur Planet, I always thought I could feel something inside me, but I didn't know what that was back then. I was scared at first, of this feeling; it was something that I've never really dealt with before…but after being able to spend more time with you, it slowly became more obvious to me…" Fox hesitated for a moment as he slowly looked over her delicate face, the colors of the colony seeming to create it's own effect on her blue and white fur on her face. Again, she did nothing but willingly allow him to search around her face for those few brief seconds. Fox then refocused on Krystal's eyes and replied quietly, as if to make it so that only the two of them could hear…
"Krystal…I love you."
Fox knew she expected to hear that, knew that she wanted to hear those exact words. Krystal smiled gently back at Fox, letting him know that his message was well received. They once again stood closely together staring into each others eyes, but it was soon cut off as Fox slowly began to creep his head in closer to Krystal's, at which point she began to do the same, slowly drawing closer until their muzzles were only centimeters apart. They both hesitated for a few seconds as they felt the fur of each other's muzzle contact their noses, at which point Fox began to rub his nose gently against hers. It was a soothing feeling, their cold noses slowly rubbing against each other, with the added feeling of soft fur accompanying it. As he did this, Fox began to lower his muzzle slightly, causing him to come into contact with her upper lip, which gave them the first taste of a kiss. She hesitated for a second as she allowed him to continue caressing her upper lip with his own and just let the feeling absorb within her. After continuing in this manner for a few seconds, Krystal also joined in and their muzzles met square on, at which point Fox moved his hands up her back until he caught the back of her head, applying slight pressure to increase the feeling of their contact. Krystal took the opportunity to readjust her hand position as well, placing one of her arms around his bare back, and the other against the side of his torso, with which she began to rub the side of his well-toned chest, letting the feeling of his warm and well-built body add to the already great amount of pleasure that filled both of them.
After continuing in this manner for a few more seconds, they hesitantly separated and once again found themselves staring into each other's eyes, but this time it seemed different. They seemed more connected by that single kiss, and their eyes reflected that feeling each passing second.
Krystal looked away from Fox momentarily as she said, "You know, there is one thing about Cerinia that I've never told you…" Fox wrapped an arm securely around her back and replied, "What's that?" She slowly retracted her arms from around Fox and reached around her own neck, pulling the green necklace up and over her head. She looked up at him and replied, "Every vixen in the Cerinian tribes were granted with two stones, one green, and one red. These are supposed to represent the love that our parents have shown us as they raised us and helped us reach maturity. Each of them is said to posses great power, but the only way for that power to have any kind of base, the vixen must find someone that she deems to be worthy of being the one who may bear one of her stones. I've always carried these stones with me, not really in hopes that I would find someone, but that I may have something to remember my parents by. But now, through the predictions of an ancient scroll and fate's desire, I think I've found the one that I will pass my parents gift on to…" She gently placed the necklace over his head and set it onto his shoulders, which at the same time positioned her close to his face once again. She wrapped both her arms around the back of his neck and planted one more, soft kiss on his lips and slowly pulled away.
"I love you too, Fox McCloud."

"I thought the chapter was really good (That's all I ever hear from this guy…) it was nice and very romantic :-) But one thing that I really don't like was the lights, I mean, every 5 seconds I read about lights (Which is SO untrue, it was probably every 6 or 7 seconds, but I guess the British count in meters or something) But other then that I really like the chapter!!!!!!8-)"
