Chapter 18
It took about 15 minutes and Fox and Krystal arrived at the café. Not long after did Falco and Katt pull up beside them. Falco came out in a uniform similar to Fox's, except having no scarf, and brown pants and a brown shirt instead of Fox's green.
"Good to see you got the message" He whispered to the bird before opening the door for everyone. "This flight jacket is actually pretty awesome." Fox laughed a little as his friend was confused, "Good to know I'm not the only one who thinks that." The two of them laughed and then looked around at the club.
"Whoa man, this place is awesome! Look over there, a bar, tables, a lounge kinda place." The bird was liking the idea more and more.
"Hey dude, where are the girls?" They looked around trying to find them, "I think we got burned" They laughed again "Dang and here I thought I was getting good at this stuff, then this happens." They sat at the bar and the bartender came over.
"We don't have alcohol, what do you guys want?"
"Sorry this actually the first time me and my friends have been here, so since you don't sell alcohol for the teen only environment, does that mean you guys have like, sodas?" The vulpine asked a little curious.
"Yes sir. We got sodas, smooties, milkshakes, you just ask. I can get you men some menus if you're hungry, you got a question you just ask."
"Alright thanks man, but uh, our girls went off somewhere in here so we were just gonna wait for them or go find them or something." The bird told the bartender. He nodded and walked off as the two friends looked around for their girls, wherever they were.
Fox groaned, "So much for trying to stay safe" The avian chuckled and they got up to go explore the place a little. They liked the look to it, it seemed pretty cool. They liked the neon lights that lit up areas of it and the upbeat music they constantly had playing. "I think I could get used to this place." Falco told his friend, he nodded in agreement.
Fox tapped his friend on the shoulder and pointed, they had finally found their girlfriends. They walked up to them with some concerned expressions,
"What happened to 'staying safe'?" Falco asked them.
"Oh stop being such a sourpuss Falco and lighten up." Katt told him. "Yeah Fox, we're here to have fun" Krystal told her boyfriend. They pushed them aside and headed for the soda bar.
Fox looked at his friend again with a confused expression, "Did….did that just happen?"
They walked towards the bar and took their seats by their girlfriends. "So I see you guys found your girls, now what can I get ya?" "Uh well I guess me and this lady here will take a vanilla milkshake" He had a smirk on his face as he looked over towards Falco, "We'll take the same" The bartender laughed a little and said "You guys are good" and walked off to make their milkshakes.
Falco wrapped his arm around Katt's waist, Fox noticed and did the same to Krystal. She looked over to him and gave him a happy smile as the bartender came back. "A milkshake for you two, and a milkshake for you two" He said as he sat them down and placed some straws down in front of each of them.
They each dove two straws into their milkshakes and took a healthy drink of it. "Mmmmm, this is really good!" Katt said once she finished inhaling some of the milkshake. "Yeah this is pretty good, I can get used to it." Fox said, inhaling the rest of his and Krystal's milkshake.
"Hey! I only got a little bit of it!" She said giving him a small push. "Sorry, it was really good though." "Hmph" She said crossing her arms.
Fox waved the bartender back over and got her her own milkshake. "Geez man, it's getting hot in here." Fox said. He rolled up the sleeves on his flight jacket up to his elbows and that drew some attention from his friends.
"Dude you need to keep that." Fox was confused at this comment. "Keep what?" "That thing with the rolled up sleeves. Man that's looking pretty tight on you, way better than the sleeves rolled down."
Krystal turned to see what the commotion was about, hearing Falco's comment. Her eyes got a bit bigger and she grabbed his now exposed forearm. "Yeah Fox keep the sleeves rolled up, it does look cooler. And it shows your muscles a little." Fox grinned at his girlfriend and put his arm around her waist, but quickly took it off. She looked confused at him, then sensed what he was thinking.
"Fox, I don't bite you know?" She whispered in his ear, Fox looked a little sad at this comment. "Yeah I….I know, it's just that we've only really been going out for two days and I-I thought I may be moving a little fast." Krystal sighed, but strangely it sounded like she laughed a little as she did. "Fox, it's okay with me. If you want to-" She was cut off by another raspy voice that was behind them.
"Well well, if it isn't mr. steal yo girl" They turned around and saw Panther standing behind them, with a wolf to his left, and a chameleon to the wolf's left.
"This is the guy?" The wolf asked. He looked at Panther and shook his head. Krystal groaned looking at Panther,
"What do you want Panther? I stopped talking to you for a reason." Panther was falling into a dangerous crowd, and he wouldn't admit it. He sat down beside her and put his arm around her shoulder, and Fox quickly took it off. "Buddy, can you please not touch my girlfriend?" Panther just grunted and put his arm on her again. "Take your hand off of me!" Krystal yelled pushing him off his stool. Panther growled a little and got back up and walked over her.
Fox had enough of this, he got up and pushed him back to where he was standing in between them. "This is the last time, get away from her." The wolf pulled Fox from in between them and said, "The name's wolf, and why don't you just let those two settle this on their own." He said with an evil looking smirk.
"No thanks, I'll pass on that one." He said as he roughly took Wolf's hands off of him.
This time Wolf jumped in front of him. "Clearly you haven't heard about me, when I say something, it happens." This time Fox noticed his hands were balled into fists, and he had a sharp tone in his voice.
"I don't think so." Fox told him before stepping around him walking back to his girlfriend.
Wolf had had enough of this, he spun Fox around and punched him straight in the nose.
Fox took a few steps back and knew that this would happen. "Look Wolf, I don't want to fight you, I just came here to have fun got it? Now why don't you take your little gang somewhere else?" Wolf smirked and mockingly said "I don't think so." He swung for Fox's head again but this time Fox ducked.
Fox pushed him forward, which caused him to trip backwards over a chair. At this point Fox had waved some security over to get wolf and panther, he didn't want any trouble on his hands that wasn't his fault. The security guards came and got Panther and Wolf, and the chameleon walked off with them, without saying a word.
"Who were those guys?" Fox asked a guard. "Wolf O' Donnell, and the chameleon is Leon Powalski, and I assume you knew that Panther. They've been here a few times, but never caused any trouble until now, thanks for trying to avoid trouble." Fox nodded and re-joined his friends.
"Good thing you called those guards over, I was about to get up and make them wish you had called them sooner." Falco told his friend. Fox nodded.
"Maybe we should roll out soon, there's no telling if more trouble will come or not." They stayed until 9 then left.
On the ride home Krystal looked concerned at Fox, "Fox are you okay from when he hit you." Fox just chuckled as they got out when they arrived at her house.
"Don't worry about it, did you have fun tonight besides our little encounter?" Krystal tried to laugh at the last comment, but struggled. "I think it was fun, we should go back sometime, are you sure you're okay?" Fox chuckled at his girlfriend's extreme concern.
"I told you silly, I'm fine. So did you like your own exclusive milkshake?" Krystal smiled. "I loved it! Those were so good and, but are you sure-" Fox cut her off.
She closed her eyes, then opened them back. She closed her eyes and embraced the kiss that he had planted on her lips.
He began to pull away but she chased after him and wrapped her arms around his neck, and he didn't fight it, wrapping his arms around her waist in return. They stayed like that for at least 5 minutes.
When they pulled away he looked at her and said "I know I'm okay now for sure." They laughed and came together once more.
When they parted Krystal looked longingly into Fox's eyes and told him, "This is the best night of my life" Fox smiled a toothy smile, "I wish I didn't have to leave."
Both of them wanted to share their first kiss forever.
