Chapter 2: The Fox Plushy

Fox entered the mess hall, for the second time. He then questioned Peppy, "Do you know where Krystal is?"

"Nope. She's probably in her room, though."

"Okay, thanks."

"Oh, yeah, Fox? Could you cook something for all of us? Last time I cooked, I somehow burnt down our fireproofed kitchen..."

"All right… I'll get you guys something."

After making a surprisingly good batch of pancakes, Fox headed out for Krystal's room.

"Krys? Are you in there? Hello?"

He pressed one of his sensitive ears against the door.

He heard a muffled "Yes?" as an answer.

"Um… it's already 12… Shouldn't you be up by now?"

The door opened immediately, and Fox was blown away by how much Fox-based merchandise she owned.

"…Fox? Are you okay?"

"Oh…Uh…I guess…"

"Is that my Fox plushy? Oh my gosh! It is!"

She snatched the fluffy and over hugged Fox plushy from a bewildered Fox.

"Uh… Just come and eat…Okay?"

"Yeah…I'll come after a few minutes…"

Fox set out for the unusually large television room in order to not miss the latest episode of Starfox Adventures. (A/N: No relationship whatsoever to the game)

After settling on the couch, he flipped on the large, but overused T.V.

Noticing that it was on CNN, (A/N: Corneria News Network, the CNN you most likely have seen before) Fox motioned for the remote when he heard this:

"Supermarket's supply of Fox plushies cleaned out by Starfox member Krystal.

"Commentary from Krystal: 'I love Fox so much!' "

The reporter continued: "In addition, this cost a total of 560 credits."

Fox, stunned, changed the channel.

----------

At that very moment, a certain grey hare snuck into Krystal's room, searching for something. He shuffled through some of her belongings, and found what he was looking for. With a satisfied expression on his face, he dashed away.

----------

After watching Starfox Adventures, Fox once again walked through the halls of the Great Fox. He later bumped into Peppy, who was looking very happy.

"Fox…I need to get to my room…"

"Wait…" Fox inspected Peppy, noticing that his fist was clenched around something.

"Are you hiding anything?'

"Nah…Why would I hide anything?"

"Come on, you can't hide it forever…It's no use now…Out with it!" Fox was becoming rather impatient about this.

"I'm not hiding anything…hehehe…Hahaha… Hahahahahahahaha!!!"

The hare, unexpectedly, began to laugh in hysterics. In his laughter, he accidentally dropped what he was holding.

Fox immediately took notice of the fact that it was a receipt.

It read:

Welcome to Corneria City Supermarket

Your cashier was: Bob Smiley.

Product - Quantity - Price

Fox Plushy - 80 - 7.00 credits

Thank you for shopping with us at Corneria City Supermarket.

After he finished reading the very crumpled receipt, Fox felt a very bad…sinking

feeling…

"Fox? What are you doing with that?" Krystal had walked into the hall occupied by Fox and Peppy.

"Um…Not reading it…"

"You know I can easily read your mind…"

"Oh crap! Right… I'll explain it all…"

Fox, who was still holding the receipt, explained this all to a very bored looking Krystal.

By the time he finished, she had already fallen asleep on the floor.

Fox, noticing this, nimbly snuck to the kitchen in hopes of finding a certain round, brown object, called… A COOKIE!

A/N: It seems that everyone thinks this story is kind of… WTF?!?!

I agree.
