Chapter 1: A Good Day

Time: 7:30 AM
Place: O' Donnell household, Corneria City
Date: August 5, 18 BLW (Before Lylat Wars)

Wolf woke up in his room that morning. It was a rundown bed room with stained walls, a creaky old bed, a desk, and a holovision. He slipped on a ragged T-shirt, some torn jeans, and a jacket. He dashed downstairs and ran up to his father, who was reading a newspaper in the living room. Sven O' Donnell looked up from the paper and smiled at his son. He had scruffy fur, pointer ears, a sharp nose, an unusually fluffy tail, a white T-shirt, and some pants. Wolf ran up to him and hugged him asking excitedly, "Dad! Do you know what day it is today?" He put down his newspaper and patted his son on the head saying, "Now I wouldn't forget my son's sixth birthday. Happy Birthday son!" He got up and went into the kitchen.

"I'll make you something to eat okay?"
"I thought that was mommy's job?"

"Mommy can't be home right now she went on a business trip and the company asked her to stay for a while longer." Wolf asked, "She will come home right?" Sven answered, "Don't worry, she will. Now how about some chicken wings?" Wolf nodded excitedly and turned on the holovision in the living room. The HV was broadcasting a story about the famous team Star Fox. Wolf has owned every bit of Star Fox merchandise that was advertised on the HV. He was naturally obsessed with them. He longed to one day work with James McCloud and his team.

"Wolf, chicken's ready! Call your brother downstairs too."
"Do I have to? He's been a jerk to me my whole life!"
"Now now Wolf, your older brother is family too."
"Fine..."

Wolf went upstairs and knocked on his 10 year old brother's door. God I hate his guts so much... His brother walked out of the room and smiled. Don't fake the smile you douche. "How's my li'l bro doin'! Happy sixth birthday!" Wolf glared at his older brother and said, "Shut it Shane. I'm still mad about the previous wedgies and swirlies I had to go through." Shane backed up and said, "Well, it's your birthday so..."
"Shut up and just get down for breakfast."
"Oh one more thing!"
"What is it?"

Shane wedgied his poor brother, who was about to burst into tears. Wolf yelled, "SHANE! I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS ONE DAY! DON'T YOU FORGET IT!" Shane scoffed, "It'll take more than your dull claws and teeth to take care of me. Haha. See you down stairs." Shane dropped Wolf and walked down stairs.

Wolf ignored the pain and walked downstairs. He entered the kitchen where Sven and Shane were waiting for him. "What took ya so long squirt?" Shane chuckled. Wolf just furiously pointed at him, yelling, "YOU WEDGIED ME YOU DOUCHE! OF COURSE I'LL BE LATE!" Sven chuckled and said, "Now now boys, there will be plenty of time for you guys to argue. For now, just eat, they have Tabasco sauce on them."

Wolf smiled and took a plate. They look like Red Wings, he thought. He took a big bite and started to chew them. Sven looked at him and said, "Oh C'mon Wolf… The Corneria City Wolves had a good season." Wolf just continued eating and muttered, "The remind me of The Sector 3 Red Wings." Sven laughed softly.

Wolf finished eating said, "I'm going to visit Leon now, see you later dad!" And with that, he took off.

"So, Wolf… you finish math homework?"
"Naww, I got no time for math homework."

"When do you ever…?"

"Haha, quiet Leon."

A chameleon an Wolf were watching HV and another program about Star Fox was being shown.

Wolf looked over to Leon and asked, "Hey Leon, do you think we'll ever be as good as Star Fox?"

"Pfft… We'd be lucky if we even learned how to pilot properly."

"I guess you're right…"

Wolf heard knocking on the front door. "Oh! I gotta go Leon. See ya at school tomorrow."
Leon just nodded and waved.

Sven walked into the store holding Wolf's hand. "Wolf, I want to get you something, can you wait here for a bit?" Wolf smiled a toothy smile and nodded. He sat down on a bench and waited.

"Open your eyes now Wolf, I think you'll like it."

Wolf opened his eyes and was he screamed with joy. "I thought you would like it, it's the blaster that Star Fox uses, the CM-13. It took some convincing, but I was finally able to convince the ape to give me this one. Happy Birthday son." Wolf put the blaster on the floor and hugged Sven. Sven thought I just hope it was the right thing to do. It's a dog eat dog world out there, and when I am deployed by Cornerian forces to settle a conflict in Fichina, he'll need it.

"Alright Wolf, time for bed. You have school tomorrow!"
"Okay! I love you dad!"
"Yeah... me too."

The two of them slept on the living room couch; Sven wanted to spend some time before he is sent to Fichina. He didn't know if he was going to make it out alive. All that mattered was that his sons were going to be okay.
