Chapter 2
" Fox sweetie, wake up! You'll be late if you take much longer!"
Vixy's sweet voice rang through the house. Fox felt groggy, as if he hadn't gotten anysleep, but that's just an average teenage morning. He got dressed and brushed his fur then went to the kitchen for breakfast. James put down thepaper and looked through his shades over to his son,
"Good morning son, are you ready for day two with your vixen girlfriend?"
he laughed lightly as his son looked embarrassed,
"Dad you know she isn't my girlfriend, as far as I know she may not even see us as friends." Vixy gave them both theirplates and said
" girlfriend or not I want you to be nice to that girl. She's new and needs friends, high school is no time to spend alone."
Fox took his mother's words to heart and decided to try and become friends with krystal, but knowing her name certainly would help. Fox finished his plate, told his parents goodbye and again ran out to his convertible and turned up the music and blasted off. Fox walked into his first class and sat down in his seat by krystal and smiled warmly to her.
She tried smiling back as he said "hey Kristy, how are you this morning?"
The small smile she had disappeared as she quietly said, "Fox, I remembered your name, don't you remember mine?" Fox had a surprised, nervous look on his face. He got her name wrong, and she remembered his without a problem!
His subconscious told him 'Youidiotyougothernamewrongandyou'retryingtobefrie ndswhattheheckiswrongwithyou-'
He quickly slapped himself out of that and tried to regain mental composure. "Gee, I-I'm sorry. I g-guess I didn't hear it r-right yesterday, uhh what is it again?" "Krystal" "R-right, sorry about that krystal. If you want you can sit with us again at lunch."
He felt that he finally caught a break when she said "That would be great, could you introduce me to your friends today?" "I saw you in the gym yesterday 2nd block, we could do the introducing and all then if you want?" She looked surprised,"Well I didn't see you, but I have something else to do in 2nd block so I wont be there today"
Fox nodded and the two went on with their class. When gym came Fox briefed his friends on the situation. Bill had no problem, Falco didn't care too much, and Slippy was excited to hear about new company.
Slippy entered the chemistry room earlier than Fox and waved at krystal then sat beside her. Fox wasn't paying attention and knocked Amanda's books out of her hands. He picked them up for her and the two went on with small talk until they reached the room. Fox sat in front of Krystal and Amanda in front of Slippy. The teacher didn't seem to mind about the seat change, most teachers liked Fox and his friends, he was pretty well known throughout the school. Krystal didn't say anything, she only looked up to see who it was that sat around her, the unexpected company seemed to make her a little more talkative and comfortable. Once the bell rang Amanda went off to take care of something, leaving Fox Krystal and Slippy. The three of them picked up some small chat on their way to the lunchroom, Krystal found it very easy to talk to Slippy, she thought that his smart talk was funny.
Once they sat down, again krystal sat down beside Fox. "So guys, this is Krystal, Krystal that's Bill, and that's Falco, don't listen to him." Krystal giggled and Falco threw a ketchup packet at Fox saying "Would you rather us go somewhere else so you and your girlfriend can have some alone time?"
After that Fox began tripping over his own words. "S-She's not- I-I mean we get along- Falco just shut up!" Krystal laughed even more when she heard Fox and saw that he was glowing red, and she could feel she had a small blush herself. When everyone's attention was on their food he leaned over to her and whispered " L-like I said, d-don't listen to him"
She grinned at Fox and said "I had a feeling you would say that" Finally lunch had ended and Krystal and Falco took their trays back inside and the avian told his new friend "Don't take that girlfriend thing personally, it's just fun to mess with Fox about girls"
She smiled at him and he said "Course I cant get on the bad side of his new girlfriend." He had a sly smirk as he said it, and she returned with a smirk of her own as she tripped him saying "Oh im sorry about that" sarcastically. He got up saying " I let that happen." She laughed at him and he said "you know,I think you're alright" The two went their separate ways.
Fox walked down the hall talking with Bill, and when he looked up something caught his eye. A familiar female rabbit walked out of the office in the same direction as the two. "It… there's no way." Fox quickened his pace and caught up to her. "Lucy?" The rabbit turned around and was overjoyed to see a familiar face. "Fox!" she ran and hugged her old friend. "Daddy told me that you went to this school, but I didn't think I would run into you this soon!" "here, let me see your schedule…. Perfect! Your next class you have with me and Bill!"
She was even happier now, "You know, this school isn't so bad" The three of them laughed as they walked to their class. The three talked and worked diligently as if they had never lost connection. The rest of the day flew by as expected.
Fox got home and as he walked in Vixy rushed up very excited asked her son how his day was. James walked up to the table and also was curious "Did you talk to Kristy any today?" Fox heavily sighed saying "well I did find out, her name actually isn't kristy. I found out actually her name is Krystal, luckily she wasn't mad when I called her the wrong name." Vixy closed her eyes "Krystal, such a beautiful name" She seemed lost in the thought of the name. "sounds like a nice young lady to not be mad about you messing up her name" James was glad to hear that there wasn't any bad blood. "I felt a little bad, she remembered mine even though I didn't remember hers. James seemed happy that his son found a new friends
Meanwhile at a familiar vixen's house: "Hello darling! How was your second day?" Her mother asked her when she and her father got up to greet her. "It was good again. Oh and I forgot to tell you guys that I met a new friend yesterday." Krystal's dad raised his eyebrow "His name is Fox McCloud, he's really nice, he introduced me to some of his friends too and they let me sit with them at lunch." "well this young man sounds like a sweet young boy to me" Krystal's mom said. "He is, maybe soon I can talk to him some more, I started to get comfortable around him and his friends today." Her parents were happy to hear of their daughter making new friends, and more than trusted her to make the right friends.
