AUTHOR'S NOTE: Alright, I may have said I was going to update this again, after my other story, but Fuzzy Slippers pulled a gun out on me, and demanded more chapters, or else I wouldn't get the gun.
So, that means good news for you, my readers. You can now turn that frown upside down… and, while you're at it, flip your ass crack sideways.
DISCLAIMER: Word, I don't own Starfox.
The car ride back to Fox's apartment building was quiet, except for a sneeze from Katt. The climb up the stairs, too, was quiet. Fox pulled out an old key and opened the door and walked in. "Katt, I'm going to bed. I'll see you early, to help pack. Are you sure you're ready to leave?"
"Yes." Katt grabbed a blanket from the linen closet. "Good night."
"You, too," Fox yawned. He was too tired to start convincing her to stay. He closed his door, dropped his suitcase on the floor, and without shedding any clothing, crawled under the covers and curled up for some sleep.
Katt laid down onto the couch and flicked the blanket in the air, it drifted downward and completely covered her. She pulled her pants down and kicked them off her ankles. She then closed her eyes and awaited sleep.
The next morning, Fox woke with warmth pressed against him.
"Katt?"
"Hey, you awake, yet, Foxie?" Fox opened his eyes to see a lioness, Kara, smiling at him.
Fox closed his eyes. "What are you doing here so early?"
"It's 10:30. Did you work late, last night, Fox?"
"…yeah." Fox muttered, inaudibly.
Kara sat up. "What?"
"…zzz…"
"Fox."
"Huh?"
"Katt left this for you on the kitchen counter."
Fox then immediately sprang up. "Whoa, where's Katt? What's going on?"
Kara handed him the note. Fox read it.
Fox,
Thanks for the hospitality for the few days.
,Katt
Fox jumped out of the bed and ran to the living room, where there was no sign of Katt. "Ah… I was going to help her."
"She left with only a suitcase."
"Oh." Fox fell back onto the couch and let out a huge sigh. Kara sat down next to him.
"Is something bothering you, Fox?"
"No." Fox reached in his pocket and pulled his tie out and dropped it.
"What was that?"
"My tie."
"What's your tie doing in your pocket?"
Fox suddenly got scared. "Uh… I put it there…"
Kara tilted her head and lowered her eyelids. "Are you sure you're okay?"
Fox gulped. Kara, now more concerned about Fox's weird behavior, placed her paw on his forehead. "What are-"
"You don't have a fever, Fox."
"I'm not sick…"
"Than, what's wrong? You can tell me."
Fox gulped even harder.
Oh, that was crap! But … how is Fox going to tell his girlfriend what he did with Katt? Where is Katt and why did she leave without saying good-bye, verbally? Oh, god the suspense is killing me! Is it killing you? Well, tell it to stop.
