Falco sitting in his arwing 100 feet away from the Great Fox, looks out into space while lost in thought. On his dash, a beeping noise starts sounding, indicating another arwing is in use. He adjusts the arwing communicator to "on" to see who else is flying. He is wondering if it's Chip. He sighs when he finds out it's Estella. "Estella?" Falco says in surprise as he sees her on the camera. "What are you doing out this late?" His surprise turns to concern. "Is everything ok?"
"Falco?" Estella was unaware that Falco would be able to monitor arwing. "What are you do..." Estella's communicator cuts leaving Falco with the sound of sputtering.
"ESTELLA, DO YOU COPY? ESTELLA?" Falco, turns his arwing quickly, flying back towards the Great Fox. BOOM! Out of nowhere, the left side his arwing is hit by a missile, sending it backwards a several feet suddenly, the Great Fox, close to his arwing, disappears into thin air.
Falco and his damaged arwing begin to fall into the atmosphere of a near by Corneria like planet.
The Arwing continues falling and crash lands onto a desert plain. Falco, is ok, but the landing is hard. It takes a moment for him to come to, and reorient himself...He looks around concerned and confused. After he waits for what seems like a lifetime, but in reality is only 5 minutes, he is deciding whether to exit the safety of the arwing-he is mindful of running into dangerous life forms.
He then remembers Estella, and his concern for her overrides his fear of the unknown and he frantically begins to try to contact her and the rest of Star Fox. Having no luck he decides to leave the arwing. Before he gets a chance to exit, the aircraft is found by a group of similar life forms and then he plays dead and happens to fall asleep.
When he wakes up, he slowly opens his eyes, but then panics when he notices he's on a hospital bed in a hospital styled room. He then looks to his left only to see Estella standing there looking down at him. "Estella," Falco says as he sits up with a confused face. Estella puts her left hand on the left side of his chest stopping him from fully sitting up.
"Falco no, you need to rest," she says. "You've been injured." Falco grunts in pain as he struggles to lay back down. An older male pheasant walks into the room and stands next to Estella. "Falco, I want you to meet my father, Andrew."
Apparently there are more survivors of the destruction of my homeworld. Everyone here is from there, they migrated here after our homeworld was destroyed. Falco looks up at Estella and Andrew. "Nice too meet you sir," Andrew says. Falco continues to look at them in pain, and nurses come and roll him into the emergency room where he will have surgery to fix the gash in his abdomen.
"We are on a planet called Pilgrimage," Estella says.
About 4 months of recovery goes by. Falco now back on his feet and Estella are still on Pilgrimage with Estella's family. Her mother is regal looking, entirely of black feathers, her name is Noelle. Noelle is wearing a white, tight fitting jumpsuit. The combination makes her look commanding. Estella also has a brother who looks just like Noelle, his name is Ethan. He's wearing a tan cargo shirt with rolled up to his elbows and tan cargo pant. Lastly is their sister with the sunset orange color feathers, named Esther. She looks a lot line Estella, who's wearing a similar jumpsuit. Falco, Estella, Andrew, Noelle, and Esther are in a garage big enough to hold normal size airplanes.
Ethan who's a mechanic comes into the garage with his crew behind him. "Are these the arwings you need fixed Estella?" Ethan asks as he points to the 2 blue arwings.
"Yes," Estella says, nodding her head. Ethan Rey and his crew begin the process of repairing the 2 arwings.
Falco walks out of the garage into the city where the Cerinians have civilized. Andrew who is standing next Estella whispers, "I'm not very fond of him," as Falco walks out of the garage. Estella looks at her father with tears dripping down her face, and then walks quickly out of the garage following Falco.
"Falco, wait," Estella yells running towards him. "Where are you going," she asks. Falco turns, grabs both of her hands with each of her wings, and looks down at her with a smirk. "I figured you would follow me out here. Since it's getting dark soon, would you like to go to dinner?" Falco asks hoping she'll say yes. Estella looks into his eyes with a big smile.
"YES," Estella she answers - a bit aggressively - "That would be wonderful."
"Then it's a date," Falco says. Estella freezes in surprise, and then smiles.
"I'll pick you up in 30 minutes behind my place," Falco says as he jogs off heading towards the condo he's been living in during his time on this planet.
As Esther walks out of the garage, Estella runs to her sister to tell her what just happened.
When Falco gets to his small condo he walks in, and dances around like a teenager, knowing that he's taking Estella to dinner.
About 2 hours later, Falco and Estella finish up dinner at the local diner, they walk down the sidewalk holding hands and smiling. Estella notices the beach. She then let's go of Falco's hand runs down the stone stairs, leading away from the sidewalk- "Come on Falco it's a beach. Let's take a swim. Falco stands there for a second watching her, and then smiles and runs after her.
When Estella hits the sand she stops and starts to undress taking off her jumpsuit, boots, and jacket leaving only her skin tight full body blue underwear. "Wait, I don't have anything on under," Falco stops realizing he can't undress.
"Oh come on Falco, you have on underwear, I'm sure you wear spandex under that jumpsuit," Estella mutters with a smile. Falco smirks, and then starts undressing.
Estella runs into the ocean. "Falco it feels amazing," She says joyously. Falco runs into the ocean, and splashes Estella playfully. Estella joins in, and the 2 are laughing up a storm.
"Hey Falco, watch this," Estella says as the sun sets. "Look at the water." When the sun sets fully, the water starts lighting up, and flickering many different colors. Falco and Estella watch as they sit in the water with their heads and shoulders just about the waves. Estella swims up to Falco, and rubs the right side of her face on the right side of his face: equivalent to a kiss.
Falco and Estella close their eyes and embrace each other. "Come with me,"
Estella says as they let each other go. I want to show you something cool.
The 2 pheasants then submerge under water, and swim through a hole in the rock, and swim up, letting their head out of the water in an enclosed tall cylinder where they can see the sky at the top. When Pilgrimage's moon which was named Silver Saturn shines through the hole, Falco and Estella embrace each other once more. 30 minutes later, Falco and Estella swim out to shore, and take a walk down the beach. About a mile down, they come across Falco's condo.
"Wait right here," Falco says to Estella as he runs to his condo. A moment later he comes back out with 2 blue towels and lays them out.
They lay down to dry off and look up at the stars. Falco smiles at Estella.l
A few hours pass, Falco and Estella are still looking at the stars and chatting. "Do you even know what solar system we're on right now?" Falco asks in curiosity. Falco and Estella turn, and lay on their sides facing each other.
"We're in a solar system called the Stone System," Estella says.
"That explains why I l've never heard of this planet before," Falco says looking up at the stars intrigued at how different they look from the Lylat System. "You know, I have had a great time with you."
Falcon says as he turns towards Estella and smiles.
Falco and Estella fall asleep.
the Next Morning
Estella wakes up from a deep sleep, and freaks out when she sees that she's in a bedroom and not out on the beach where she and Falco slept. She walks out of the small room into the kitchen where she sees Falco making eggs for breakfast. "Here you are. Estella, breakfast for the lady," Falco says has he hands her a plate of Scrambled eggs. Estella sits at the small table in the kitchen, and begins to eat the eggs. Falco grabs plate, a fork, and some eggs. He then joins Estella and they finish their eggs.
"How did you sleep last night?" Falco asks. Estella sighs, "I slept wonderfully."
"That's good," Falco says. Falco and Estella finish eating, and clean their dishes. "Come on Falco, let's go visit my family." Estella says with a smile.
Falco and Estella take a 10 minute walk to her parents place, and when they get they see her mom, and Esther standing out front. "Mom, Esther, Estella yells as she runs up to them in the small front yard. Falco comes up behind.
"Oh my gosh, we had a wonderful time last night," Estella exclaimed with a bright smile.
It was magical. We walked and talked for hours, and fell asleep on the beach." Estella looks at the two happily as Falco walks up behind her.
"Hello Esther, Hello Noelle," Falco says. "Wonderful to see you again."
"Hi Falco," Esther says with a smile. Noelle then looks at Estella.
"Estella come inside, your father has a surprise for you." Noelle looks at Estella and Falco with an unhappy look as they walk into the front door of the house. "They're here Andrew," Noelle says.
"Estella, come here to the kitchen I need to show you something," Andrew calls loudly. Noelle, Esther, Estella, and Falco turn left into the kitchen. When Falco and Estella, who were holding hands, stop in their tracks when they see Chip standing next to Andrew.
"ESTELLA," Chip yells. As he runs and hugs her. Estella then pushes Chip away, uncomfortably.
"What are you doing here Chip," Estella looks at him, confused and irritated.
"Well you see before we joined Star Fox I was here with your family, during the great destruction." Falco then looks at Estella's right wing, noticing a small discolored feather.
"Estella, on your right wing, there is something on you - a tracking device on it," Falco says, perplexed.
Estella looks at her wing, takes the tracking feather, drops it, and crushes it.
"Really Chip, a tracking device," Estella says.
"You're father requested I plant it on you if we met again," Chip drops his chin...Estella looks at her father.
"Are you serious father?" Estella says.
"Yes."
"And I already got your father's blessing, so will you marry me," Chip says as he kneels down and pulls out a diamond ring.
"NO," Estella says aggressively. Father you can't make me marry him, he's a jerk - and SO ARE YOU!"
"I tried to tell him," Noelle states. Estella runs out of the house with tears running down her face. Falco stares at Chip, and Andrew furiously.
"Falco, are you coming, Estella shouts. Falco turns and runs out of the house behind her.
