The Unknown
Chapter 9: Home Warming Aboard Great Fox
Upon arriving in the Lylat System Fox was greeted by Peppy, Falco, Krystal, Slippy, & Rob on the com-link in the Arwing. Fox & Lauren laughed & accepted their welcome & said hello back. "You'll love every one aboard Great Fox Lauren." "Hmm, that bothers me. I barely fit in my own planet." "Just relax Lauren, you don't have to worry about any of them trying to stalk & torture you." "Ha! I guess so. After I get settled in with Great Fox, lets have a long night together." "Alright, I guess I owe it to you."
3 hours have passed since Lauren & Fox left Shewdundy, now Fox has finally reached Great Fox, landed & were greeted by the entire crew amongst the ship. "Hello Fox, it's great to see you're alright." "What's up Fox!" "Sup Fox, you worried us for a little while. You took some of my advice?" "Greetings Fox. We missed you." "Rob you really need to loosen up. Hey Fox what's with the nearly hairless monkey?" "Slippy she isn't a monkey, she's human, & her name is Lauren. The scientist down on Corneria want to run some test on her." Lauren looked at Fox & snapped, "You seduced me so you could get me on a planet to be a science project?" "No Lauren, you don't have to if you don't want to. They do need your consent." "Ohh, well never mind. I have to go get my stuff." "Put your stuff in my room." "Alright."
Fox looked down at Laurens butt Krystal noticed & she asked him about it. "So is that the woman you had shelter with?" "Yeah, I figured it would be better if I took her then someone else." "I see, what ever the case Fox I am so happy that you're okay." Krystal went to kiss Fox & he turned his head away. "What is wrong Fox? You never acted this way befo…" Krystal stopped talking & she looked in Fox's eyes. She saw something in his eyes that was unusual. "You love her Fox?" "Yeah." "So that day that we had a disagreement, did you love her then?" "No, but I developed feelings for her eventually." "Ooo, someone's managed a bonus on their little trip." "Shut up Falco." "Guys lets not do this here." "Wow Peppy has the knowledge of reason huh?" "Shut up! Krystal lets go in my room & discuss this further in there."
Krystal & Fox continued towards Fox's room & entered the room. Fox closed the door & they continued their conversation. "So you love her Fox? Lauren I mean." "Yeah." "Then you have the wrong woman in your room then." Krystal walked up to a picture that she & Fox took of each other & then said, "I saw the way she looked at you Fox, pure of true intentions. She loves you as well, in fact she loves you more then you know." Fox noticed that Krystal was teary eyed & he got up & put his hands on her shoulders. "I'm sorry Krystal, I…" "You can't apologize for listening to your heart Fox. I knew one day I would meet someone that would treat me as queen, but I knew that it wasn't going to be you." Fox looked at Krystal & asked her, "So you pushed marriage on me because you didn't want to be with someone else?" "No Fox I was scared. I knew you so I thought that if we married before the day of your mission that it wouldn't matter what fate tempted because we would be together." "So you didn't want me to be with anyone else?" "I didn't want to lose you, but I see my fear got the best of me & I lost you." "Krystal you didn't lose me I'm still here." "Fox tell me how it felt when you first saw Lauren." "Why?" "Out of curiosity." "Well it wasn't the best feeling in the world. She watched me get my foot stuck in a bear trap. She looked like she enjoyed it." "Did she have a kind heart turned black?" "I guess so…" "Fox it was Lauren that my mother told me about!" "Krystal are you okay?" "Your life will be flipped upside down & back up again, don't expect to keep the first male you see. Though the one with the kind heart turned black will claim him, the one with passion in his eyes will gladly step up to the pedestal waiting for you to claim him, your prize. The kind heart turned black will turn kind with this transformation seek her words for she will be able to fore see your fate." "A prophecy about Lauren?" Just as Fox got that out of his mouth, Lauren stood in the door way with her bags.
"Hey babe where do you want me to put my stuff…oh I'm sorry I didn't know you were talking, I'll just put my stuff over here." Lauren put her bags along the walls & left to get more of her stuff. "The one with the heart turned black now has restored kindness." "Huh?" "Fox you grab her & you don't let her go. Lauren is a sign of good luck, she is the one my family know as Fate's child. Her rural up bringing is the source of her power. You will experience much that you would have never experienced with me Fox. With Lauren you will see things that dreams are made of." Krystal kissed Fox's forehead & she took her charm off his neck. "With her abilities you will no longer need this. Go help your true love."
