Disclaimer: I don't own Star Fox. I'd be doing something a lot better than this if I did.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fox slowly looked over towards the lovely voice that ran like a soft melody in his ears. His vision was slightly obscured from the concussion he had suffered from the wolf, which annoyed him.
All he could make out was a mammal form, it looked like a vixen, with blue fur.
Blue fur? That's odd.
Suddenly, the bell rang and the blue girl stood up, " I should head to class now. Will he be all right alone, Nurse? "
The rabbit nurse nodded, " Yes, you go on to class now. "
Fox tried to stop Krystal, but she was gone before he could utter a syllable. Damn.
The rabbit checked him over again, then stood, " I'm afraid you'll be going home today, young man. "
Fox panicked. Peppy couldn't see him like this, " W-Wait, i'm fine! Really! "
" There's no way around it. Your injuries are too severe to stay here. " Before Fox could protest any more, the nurse started dialing. Fox sighed as he stared up at the ceiling.
I'm so fucked.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Fox, I thought I told you not to get into fights. "
Fox sighed as he stared out of the silver hovercar as it headed home, " I didn't get into a fight, Peppy. Some dumbass just beat the living shit out of me. "
" Language, Fox. "
" Sorry. "
Peppy sighed sadly. He couldn't help being so protective of Fox, he was the only thing he had left of his old friend James before he died. He made a vow to always be there for Fox for him.
" Fox, I know you think i'm hard on you..."
" I know, Peppy. " Fox knew he just didn't want to lose him like he did James. He just wished Peppy would get off his back once in a while and trust him more. He knew he already lost a lot of that when Peppy saw him get wheeled out of the Nurse's office in a wheelchair.
They soon reached home and Peppy helped Fox to his room, laying him down on his bed.
" Get some rest now, Fox. "
" Yeah, thanks Peppy. "
Peppy smiled, then shut the door behind him gently as he left.
Fox sighed as he closed his eyes. Man, my first day of high school and I get beaten to a pulp and sent home. Lovely.
The the blurred image of the cerulean vixen came to his mind's eye and he smiled weakly. Eh, maybe it wasn't so bad...
When he returned to school, he would be sure to find Krystal and thank her properly. And maybe do more than thank her, he thought with a smirk.
He soon fell asleep, dreaming of the cobalt angel.

After school, Krystal walked out to the back patio to wait for her bus. She spotted a pink feline chatting with a blue falcon and smiled, walking over, " Hey Katt, Hey Falco. "
Katt glanced over and smiled when she saw their friend, " Hey Krys. " She watched as Krystal sat beside her on the bench, " How was classes? "
" Enlightening, yours? "
" Horrible. "
" Fucked up. " Falco spoke up.
Katt rolled her eyes, " Well of course your classes are. You got the freaky, drug usingteachers. "
Krystal watched as they began to bicker over who's teachers were worse with a small smile. Katt and Falco had been her friends since kindergarten and since then, they were rarely seen apart in public. Especially Katt and Falco. I wonder when they'll wise up. It's obvious they've been wanting each other since 5th grade.
" Hey guys. "
Krystal looked over to see Slippy approaching them. Slippy was a recent addition to their sophomore group since he had been transferred here from a private school. He was pretty good with technology and such, so he was pretty well respected in their group.
" Hey Slip. "
" Well well, if it isn't the outcasts. "
Krystal groaned softly as Wolf O'Donnell and his cohorts Panther Caroso and Leon Powalski walked over, smirks on their faces.
Unfortunately, their group had been labelled as the Outcast group in their freshman year. In a school full of normal colored animals, it really was inevitable. Krystal and Katt were instantly disliked for their pink and blue fur, while Falco was an Oucast for a worse reason.
" What the fuck do you want? " Falco hated them, and was always their spokesperson when they were around.
" Don't talk to me like that, you piece of shit. I just came over to check on my favorite little Outcasts. "
" Just shut the fuck off and drag your mangy hide somewhere else. "
Wolf punched him square in the jaw, knocking him down effortlessly. Falco couldn't help but smirk, " You're awfully touchy today, Wolf. Your girlfriend giving you a hard time again? "
" Just shut up, you fucking excuse for a bird. " Wolf's bus arrived and he turned to leave, " This ain't over, you little shits. "
Krystal sighed softly as Katt tended to Falco, closing her eyes.
Just once, she wished they could go one day without being harassed for being different.
