Dinosaur Planet

Chapter Two: Arrival of Paradise

It was two hours before they would enter Dinosaur Planet's orbit, so they all rested a bit before the trip. Sam woke up and looked at the new room she had occupied. Since Falco left, she decided to take his room. She spiced it up to look more feminine and neater. She got out of bed and took a shower. "Ah, this feels so good." she said as she felt the warm water go through her fur and sooth her body. She finished a half-hour later and got dressed. She walked into the kitchen and made some bacon and eggs. 'Nothing like a good breakfast.' she thought as she turned the heat higher on the stove. She fixed a plate and sat down at the table and saw Fox walk into the kitchen. He sniffed the air and looked at the food. "Mmm, smells good." he said and fixed a plate.

He sat down on the opposite side that she sat on and started eating. They ate silently for two minutes before Sam decided to say something. "So, how do you think the planet is falling apart?" she asked. Fox thought about it and shrugged his shoulders. "Beats me, but that doesn't mean we don't have to find out." he said and continued eating. By now everyone was up and they all made a plate of eggs and bacon. "I'm glad we have a maid around here now to cook." Slippy said quickly. Not knowing what he was saying, he saw Sam growl, he realized what he had said and his eyes became wide. "I mean, we have someone to actually cook great meals." Slippy said. Sam snorted and looked the other way, "Whatever." she said lowly. Fox stared at her and noticed that she wasn't exactly in her uniform. She was wearing green cargo pants with a white vest, but she added a little thing on it that was blue and red. 'She's kinda cute when she doesn't have the uniform on.' Fox thought. He thought about the time before they had gone to sleep.

The night before…

He went to go to bed and Sam was figuring out where her new room was. Fox had volunteered to help and showed her to Falco's room. He went into the kitchen to go get something to eat and grabbed a slice of pizza from the pizza box. He ate the slice and walked towards the bathroom. Since the guys all had their personal bathrooms, they never had to use only one and knock on the doors. He walked in only to look at an innocent vixen in her bra and panties. They stared at each other for no longer than five seconds and then she started screaming at the top of her lungs. Fox got the idea and ran out of the bathroom, only to hear some stuff being thrown at the door. 'I guess that went well.' he thought as he walked to his room.

The present…

Fox was broken out of his thoughts as he heard Rob talking about where the planet was. "How long do we have until we reach the planet?" he asked. The robot looked at the vulpine and even though you could see no emotions, you could tell that he was agitated. "I said that we would be reaching the new planet's orbit in two minutes. We can not go onto the planet's surface since we would probably scare the residents away. You and a partner need to go down to the planet's surface and see what's going on. General Pepper's orders." Rob said. "Great, then what are we waiting for? Let's go put that planet back together." Sam said. Everyone looked at Sam in a funny expression. Usually the team wouldn't have so much enthusiasm.

They all agreed that Fox and Sam would go to Dinosaur Planet, the other two would stay onto the Great Fox and so they could both help on their mission. "This is going to be fun." Sam said, hopping into the spare Arwing. Before Fox could even say anything, she took off. "Great, now I can't even go to the planet." Fox said angrily. Slippy waved a wrench in front of Fox, "Actually I fixed one of the Arwings last night, so you could use this one." Slippy said, pointing at the new Arwing. "Thanks Slip." Fox said and jumped into the Arwing.

He took off and saw the other Arwing doing loops and firing at nothing in particular. "What are you doing?" Fox asked. "I'm just getting used to this model. I'm used to my ship, but I'll get the hang of this one soon enough." Sam said. "Well we don't have time to waist, let's go." Fox said and sped towards the planet. Once they got into the orbit of the planet, General Pepper popped up onto their monitor.

"Fox, you have to fly through one gold ring to let down the force field. Then you can land on the planet." he said. "Alright, let's see if I still got it." Fox said. He saw one of the gold rings and sped towards it. Suddenly a small ship got in the way and shot at him with multiple beams. "Usually I would see that coming." he said and quickly barrel-rolled. He flew around with fast speed to dodge the ship's beam and went in front of it. When Fox thought it was just right, he flipped back over and ended behind the enemy ship. He shot two shots at the ship and watched as it blow to pieces. "Great job with that." Sam said over the voice comm.

Then a big group of small ships ambushed Fox and shot rockets at him. He dashed out of the way and was about to blast them, when Sam caught him by surprise. She shot eight of them down and dodged most of their rockets; the rest of them flew off course and hit asteroids. "See Fox, I'm useful." Sam said. Fox shot down the last two ships and was headed for the planet. The monitor popped up again and showed General Pepper on the screen. "Fox, you still didn't get a gold ring. If you don't get one, then your ship will blow on contact with the force field." he said. There was only one more gold ring on the way to the planet.

"Alright, I'll go for the gold ring." Fox said. He saw two big asteroids in the way, so he sped into the space before they collided with each other. "That was easy." Fox said. But then he saw the cloud of space mines. "Watch out for the mines!" Slippy yelled over the monitor. "I got it." Sam said. She fired at the mines and sent a bomb in the middle of the cloud of mines. She waited for the right moment and detonated the bomb. It took care of all the mines and even some small asteroids. "There you go Fox, I cleared the way for you." Sam said. Fox thanked her and got the last gold ring. "Good job Fox, the force field is now open." General Pepper said. Fox and Sam sped towards the atmosphere of the planet. They entered the planet's sky and then they were in the high clouds. "It should take a few more minutes." Fox said, They saw a big field under them.

They landed into a garden of flowers and got out of their ships. "So far so good." Sam said. They saw two big dinosaurs in front of a cave. "Alright we have our comm links, right?" Fox asked. Sam checked inside her Arwing for her comm link. "I have mine." she said. "Great, that makes the two of us." Fox said. "Do we have self defense weapons?" Fox asked. Sam checked her holster and got out her blaster. "Yeah." Sam said and put the blaster back into the holster. Fox checked his holster and found nothing. "Hold on." he said. He went back to his Arwing and checked everywhere. "I don't have my blaster." Fox said. "Looks like I'm more prepared than you are captain." Sam said. "Please just stick with calling me Fox." he said. "Yes sir Captain Fox." Sam said. "This is going to be a long day." Fox said as he watched Sam giggle.
