Chapter 5

Corneria….10:15am

The next morning at an apartment building, Falco and Katt shared an apartment together after the Anglar war. Falco and Katt were sitting together on the couch watching tv when her phone began to ring. Katt picks up the phone and looks at the caller ID which said Krystal. She sighs and says, "Falco, it's Krystal."

"Alright, I'll head into the bedroom, Katt." Falco replies and he gets up from the couch and heads into the bedroom.

Katt pushes the green button on her phone, accepting the call from Katt. She says, "Hey Krystal. How are you?"

"Hello, Katt. I'm good. How about you?"

"Oh I'm doing good, Krystal. So, what can I do for you?"

"Oh not much. I was just calling to check up on you and Falco, see how you guys are doing and also what's going on with you guys?"

"Not much." Katt replies. "In fact, didn't you hear, Krystal? Fox reactivated the Star Fox team and I am officially a member along with Slippy's girlfriend Amanda and two other girls named Fay and Miyu."

"Really, Katt?" Krystal asks. "That's amazing."

"Yeah except that's not even the highlight of that day, Krystal. It was during the orientation and tour Fox received a surprise visit." Katt explains.

"Surprise visit? From whom exactly, Katt?"

"From a girl named Jasmine. Who else?" Katt explains. "You should've seen the reaction on Fox's face when she showed up at the hangar, it was priceless. Anyway, we decided to give the two some time together alone and after that we hadn't seen them since. My guess is, they probably went on a date together. Can you believe it, Krystal?"

But, there was no reply from the cerulean vixen on the other end thus making Katt confused. She asks, "Uh Krystal, are you still there? Krystal? Hello? Hello?" On the other end of the line, Krystal was in surprise at what she was hearing. Apparently, Fox was seeing a girl named Jasmine and worst of all he didn't tell her about it. But she was snapped from her trance after Katt got her attention. She replies, "Huh? Oh uh, sorry Katt, I was just surprised that Fox was seeing someone else."

"Alright Krystal, if you say so. Anyway, are you sure it doesn't bother you one bit at all?"

"What? No. Why would that bother me? It doesn't bother me one bit at all." Krystal replies while sounding in denial.

"Okay, then." Katt replies feeling weirded out.

Krystal sighs and says, "Sorry Katt, I'm still having trouble processing all of this."

"It's alright, Krystal. We we're surprised just as well. Falco has the idea that Fox should start a new relationship with Jasmine since you were dating Panther now." Katt replies.

"I know. In fact, Panther and I are engaged, Katt." Krystal replies.

"Way to go, hon. I'm glad to hear about that."

"Thank you, Katt. Anyway, I'd better let you go so you can get back to your day."

"Okay, Krystal. Talk to you later." Katt replies and hangs up.

Krystal then hangs up the phone and places it on the phone. She sits back on the couch but all she had on her mind was that she just learned that Fox was already in a new relationship with another woman. But her train of thought was interrupted when her fiancé walked into the apartment and says, "Krystal, I'm home."

"Hi, honey. How are you?"

"I'm alright. I'm gonna go take a quick shower real quick." Panther replies.

"Okay. I'll be here in the living room."

With that, Panther makes his way over to the bedroom and closes the door behind him, leaving the vixen on the couch by herself. She looks down at her phone and began to think about calling Fox and talk to him about his new relationship. She picks it up and proceeds to dial Fox's number. She listens to it ring for a few seconds but instead there was a tone and Fox's voice came up.

"Hi this is Fox. I'm sorry but I'm afraid I can't come to the phone right now but if you leave me your name and number I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you and have a good day."

The tone beeps and Krystal begin her message saying, "Hi Fox, it's Krystal. Listen, I know you're busy right about now but I just hope you get this message because I needed to talk to you about something. I hope you get my message and get back to me as soon as possible. Good-bye."

With that, Krystal proceeds to hang up the phone but couldn't help herself but feel anxious whether Fox would get her message.

Cape Cove, Sauria….10:42am

Meanwhile at the cape cove on Sauria, Fox and Jasmine were swimming together in the water. They were on Sauria because Fox decided to take a trip to visit Tricky and he decided to take Jasmine with him to meet his friend. After swimming underwater for a good few hours, Fox and Jasmine were resting on the nice, warm sand together in each others embrace. Jasmine eventually breaks the silence asking, "Fox, do you ever get the feeling that one day Corneria will be dragged into the Venom civil war?"

"Honestly Jasmine, I'm not sure. But should it happen, my team and I will need to be ready just in case. It's my duty. But, I doubt that gonna happen anytime soon because Oikinny doesn't have the balls to pull off an attack on Corneria."

"Well that does make sense, Fox. In fact, I've been meaning to ask you something."

"What's that, Jasmine?" the vulpine asks.

"Is there any possibility I can join the Star Fox team?" Jasmine asks.

"Are you sure about this, Jasmine?" Fox asks in surprise. "I mean it's going to be dangerous with the Star Fox team."

"I can handle myself, Fox. Besides, I'll have a great teacher like you to show me everything I need to know."

"Well, I suppose so." Fox replies in agreement. "Alright Jasmine, you can join my team."

"Really?"

"Of course, Jasmine. In fact I was going to ask you the same thing, Jazz and I want nothing more than to have you by my side in the sky."

"Thank you, Fox. I can't wait to get started." Jasmine exclaim in excitement.

Later after Cape Cove, Fox and Jasmine were at the walled city to meet Tricky. After passing the gate, the two enter the city but come to a halt at the sound of loud booms coming toward them. The couple look behind them and see none other than Tricky himself with a very big smile on his face.

"FOX!" Tricky shouts jumping in the air.

"Uh-oh. Not again." Fox says realizing what was about to happen. "Tricky! Wait!"

But, Tricky lands on the poor vulpine with a very loud thud and Tricky excitedly exclaims, "Fox! It's so good to see you again!" "Tricky, I can't breathe. Please, get off." the poor vulpine replies in pain thus causing Jasmine to giggle. Later after Tricky gets off of Fox, the vulpine proceeds to tell the young triceratops everything that happened since they last saw each other and that Krystal was engaged to another man. By the end, Tricky was really down that Fox wasn't with Krystal anymore but Fox comforts his friend and raises his spirit. And eventually, Tricky takes an instant liking to Jasmine and the two become friends. This was the start of something new.
