Chapter 8

James and Vixy could overhear the supposed flirting from the two teens. The two older foxes walked into the room and saw the two moved a bit apart, but still looking intently at each other, and whether the two teens noticed it or not, they had begun to move together again. James noticed Fox stretched his arm around Krystal and then looked at his wife grinning. She nodded at her husband and turned to Fox,

"Fox honey, cam you come look at something outside?" Fox took his arm off of Krystal and got up. He followed his parents out to the back yard leaving Krystal alone.

Fox turned and saw James with his arms crossed and a smug grin on his face. "What?" he said, completely confused.

"We've heard you two in there, and are you sure you're just friends?" James said, picking at his son. "Honey if you like her you can tell us, it's okay if you do." Fox stopped to ponder the events that just happened to think all of it over, hoping that his parents didn't know what caused them to temporarily stop.

"I…. I don't know what all that was. It's weird, I was just doing that to try and make her cave before me but…. It seems like there's more to it." Fox was puzzled until his mother opened the door and his father put his hand on his shoulder and said "Trust your instincts." And shoved him back into the house.

Just as Fox stumbled back into the house did the doorbell ring, as Fox answered it all he could say is "Great, now you're here" sarcastically. "Right right, and why am I not surprised your little girlfriend is here before everyone else?" Falco said smugly.

"Just how many times do I have to tell you?" The bird chuckled as he went and high fived Krystal as a way of saying hello. Soon after did all the others arrive and take their seats.

"Thanks for inviting us here Fox! Sometime dad wants to come so he can catch up with mr james and mrs vixy!" Lucy told her long time friend.

"I'm sure mom and dad would like that too" Fox went and put in a scary movie for the first one. Krystal shuddered. "No Fox, please don't put in a scary movie." Fox grinned slyly after he put it in and sat down beside her. He scooted close to her and put his arm around her then whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, Ill protect you." She gave him a flirty smile and scooted closer.

The others noticed and chuckled to themselves. When Katt noticed she scooted close up to Falco.

Krystal became scared at one point and started to squeeze Fox's hand, he couldn't help but chuckle and pull her close to try and comfort her.

After the movies everyone decided to take their leave. As she left Falco yelled "Catch ya later Katt!" She waved goodbye to him and flashed him a smile. He turned around and held up a fist feeling he had won a victory tonight.

Slippy yawned, "Yeah I'll see you guys later!" The toad walked out as his dad pulled up. "Bye Krystal!" Lucy walked up and hugged her best friend goodbye. As everyone else left Krystal looked at Fox and said "Well I guess it's my turn now." Fox held up a finger telling her to hold on. He went to a back room, then shortly came back. "ready to go?" he asked as he opened the door for her. As she walked out she grabbed his paw and pulled him out.

The two foxes walked paw in paw, looking very much like a happy couple. Fox was completely unaware of what was going on. The two made it back to Krystal's house and stood outside. Krystal turned to Fox, taking his paws in hers. "I had a really great time tonight Fox." She said in a sad but happy tone. "You make it sound like we went on a date." He laughed and she playfully hit him. "Oh shut up!" she said while she laughed and hugged him.

He returned the hug, holding her as close as he could. Not long after did Krystal's mother come out to take out some trash. The two quickly sprang apart.

"Oh! ummm, sorry kids, I didn't mean to interrupt anything." Krystal blushed when her mother went inside and Fox pulled her back into another hug. "Sorry about that" she whispered. She wanted Fox to stay, she didn't care if they were only friends, she liked this feeling.

All of a sudden she started to grin. "Hey Fox?" They pulled back some to look at each other in the eye with their arms still around each other. "What is it pretty girl?" he said calmly as she blushed. "Fox, how about a kiss?"

Fox turned a little red, trying to keep himself calm. "Uhhhhhh….. well umm. I-I guess since we're really good friends it isn't a problem I guess…." He slowly and hesitantly leaned towards her right cheek. She leaned back slightly and told him "No, not there." He leaned back and put two and two together.

The only thought that came to mind was 'uh oh'.

He lit up completely red and began to sweat bullets from being so nervous. "Uhhhhhhhhh…. I'm uh, I mean we're good friends but- I hope you-" she cut him off.

"Fox im just kidding. My people are telepaths and my powers are starting to develop. I needed a way to test them out, they go in and out so sometimes I can read thoughts and sometime I cant. I understand if it's a lot to take in."

Fox was awestruck. "It's okay, I think it's kinda cool." He smiled at her. "Well I gotta go in now, bye Fox!" they hugged once more and fox began his walk home.

As he walked home, the events of the day with her came in like they had just happened. Shocked and pondering his own actions, all he could think to himself was, 'What happened tonight?'
