Chapter 43
Song chapter incoming- Hysteria by Def Leppard if you wanna listen to it while reading the chapter. The tune of the song I think fits well with the mood of the chapter so I suggest listening to it.
"So then, it worked?" His dad asked him, Fox nodded to the question. "Fox honey, you did it once. You can do it again, you can do it on your own like you always do." Vixy smiled to her son with hope in her eyes that she spoke nothing but the truth to her son.
"But, I just don't know how I did it back then. I can remember it, but everything just seemed to work out so perfectly and… and how do I know that'll happen again? It just seems surreal that it worked out how it did, and it just seems like that won't happen again, and I just don't think that…" James stood up and grasped his son's shoulders.
"Never give up, trust your instincts."
Fox's neutral expression changed to a small smile, trusting his dad's words. "Thanks dad, mom. I love you guys." They both smiled at their son as he walked out the door, "We love you too son." They both said as he walked out to his convertible.
"Where's he going?" James asked his wife. "What makes you think I know?" She responded, pretty much clueless. "You don't think he's going to her house do you?" "No I don't think so, he'd tell us if he was. I don't think he knows where he's going either." James responded back to his wife. They were right, Fox got into his convertible and didn't know where he was going, but he felt like going for a drive with the top down and music up.
'Trust my instincts…' he thought to himself. He turned up the music as he drove with his shades on and passed all around the city, as one of his favorite songs came on that spoke to him at the time.
(Out of touch, out of reach yeah.)
He passed all sorts of places that he remembered even more now.
(You could try to get closer to me.)
He passed the park that he remembered he and Krystal went to for their first date, the movie theater too.
(I'm in luck, I'm in deep yeah)
'I can't believe I've gotten these two breaks. First my memory, now Wolf splitting up Krystal and Panther. Man, thank my lucky stars. I wonder what Krystal's doing today?'
(I gotta know tonight, If you're alone tonight.)
Krystal was sitting in her room just sitting in the corner of her room listening to the same song, reflecting on what's happened to her today.
(Can't stop this feeling, can't stop this fight.)
'I can't believe Panther did this to me. He's always been so good to me, and now all of a sudden he hurts Fox, then he hurts me. What did I do to deserve this?'
(I get hysterical, Hysteria. Oh can you feel it? Can you believe it?)
'I just don't know what I'll do now. I don't have any friends now, Fox was nice but I can't just go crawl back to him after this, even if he doesn't remember anything.'
(It's such a magical mysteria. When you get that feelin', better start believin')
'I hope she isn't taking it too hard, surely she'll feel better soon. I know though I can't just swoop in now, she needs time to heal.'
('Cause it's a miracle, oh say you will, ooh babe. Hysteria when you're near)
Fox passed by the school, reflecting on all the memories he has there. 'I remember basketball tryouts that me and Falco went to when we were freshmen. Before…. Before…. Before we met everyone else. Before meeting the girls really, except for Lucy.'
( Out of me, into you yeah. You could hide, it's just a one way street.)
'I wish we had never left Cerinia now.' She thought to herself. 'It's gone from okay, to good, to bad, to okay, and now back to bad. It's like I'm living from one high to the next low, like I'll never really be happy again now.
' (Oh, I believe I'm in you, yeah. Open wide, that's right, dream me off my feet. Oh, believe in me)
'It just seems like I can't find any way to be happy now. I don't have any friends now. Maybe I'll just get homeschooling.'
(I gotta know tonight If you're alone tonight)
'If I go and see her, it could be suspicious. But if I don't she may feel alone, she hasn't been hanging out with the girls that much from what I hear.'
(Can't stop this feeling Can't stop this fire)
'No, she needs help, I have to go see her. If I don't the consequences could be even worse than if I do go.'
(Oh, I get hysterical, hysteria Oh can you feel it, do you believe it?)
Krystal just sighed to herself as she sat in the corner listening to her music, losing more hope in her happiness by the second. Suddenly there was a knock at her door. "Go away!" She didn't even know who it was. "Do I have to?" She heard the familiar voice and she let the voice in and took off her headphones.
(It's such a magical mysteria. When you get that feelin', better start believin'. 'Cause it's a miracle, oh say you will)
"Hi Fox….why are you here?" He sighed in the sight of how upset she was, tears on her face and a barely modest attire. "Look, I just want you to know that it's not the end of the world. It's only the beginning." He hugged her and walked out.
'That went well, short and sweet and maybe it'll take a day or two but it'll sink in.' He went home and parked his convertible and went inside.
Krystal just sat on her bed, then decided to lay down on her side. 'Fox…why do you seem so different now? Twice in one day you just…. Came out of nowhere and…you were nice. Even after all I've done? But I feel like…why? Why can't I understand anything? Why can't I understand you? Maybe I do have a friend…maybe Fox is my friend. Maybe his friendship will make me happy.'
(Ooh babe Hysteria when you're near)
The song gave me an idea for a chapter so I decided to run with it. Worked for some fluff/page filling and maybe rounds the plot a bit more. My B on the formatting being one line at a time for the most part, didn't realize that until I posted the chapter. Here's to hoping we don't lose these two together in StarFox WiiU.
