Hey guys! Here we are, chapter 4! In the past few hours, I have had an outpouring of recommendations and corrections, which are always welcome. Being a rookie writer, I'm bound to mess up and not catch it, so when you guys catch those grammar fails, it helps me out quite a bit. ;) I can't stand fics with grammar issues, and wouldn't want my own fic to be one of them, so thank you!
It's been the most peaceful 3 hours of the whole vacation. Falco and Slippy haven't been fighting (at least, Fox hasn't noticed them fighting) and the two McCloud foxes were in their room, watching television. They had planned on going out to dinner at 7 PM at a nice restaurant a mile or so down the road from the hotel. ("We've got 5 mil, might as well eat somewhere nice." Fox said.) Right now, it was 5:15 PM. Solar was preparing to set over the horizon.
Krystal was curled up next to Fox, asleep, as Fox watched some show called "Mythbusters" from some Earth channel that Katina got. Fox had no clue what they saying, but the explosions were pretty awesome. He laid there for about 30 minutes before he started falling asleep. Right before he fell asleep, he reached over to grab the remote. He turned the TV off, and set the alarm for 6:30 PM. That way, they would have time to get ready, and meet the team at 7 PM. He closed his eyes and took a power nap.
(A/N: Funny, because right now, it's 6:30. Crazy logic, man.)
At 6:30 PM, Fox snapped awake, hearing a beeping coming from the side of the bed. He felt over for the snooze button. In the process, he also turned the light on. He smacked the snooze button, and felt somebody on his other side rouse. He looked at Krystal to see her sitting up, her hair... everywhere...
"Wh-what time is it, Fox?" She said drowsily.
"6:30. We have time to get ready before we meet the team downstairs."
Krystal rubbed sleep from her eyes and got out of bed. Fox reached over and turned the alarm clock off, then stretched as Krystal walked into the bathroom. Seconds later, there was a little scream, and a "my hair!" from the bathroom, followed by scuffing around. Looks like Krystal saw her new do, and didn't like it. Fox thought to himself, and got out of bed. He was already fully dressed, except for his shoes, which were on the other side of the room.
15 minutes later, Krystal emerged from the bathroom, her makeup redone, her hair under control. She started looking around for her shoes, which were right next to Fox. He smiled mischievously. We have time. He thought as he tucked the shoes behind him, out of her view.
"Honey, have you seen my shoes?"
"Huh?" Fox said innocently, "No." He tried his hardest not to smile.
Krystal continued looking around the room, muttering "Where are they?!" while she looked.
This all continued for ten minutes, before she sat down next to Fox and saw they were right behind him. "Fox!" She exclaimed. Fox smiled.
"Yes, Krystal?"
She smacked the back of his head gently with one of her shoes, and started putting them on. Fox let out a little laugh and stood up, fixing his mohawk, grabbing his phone (and Krystal's, just to mess with her) and walked over to the door. As he opened it, he was greeted by Falco, who was just passing their door.
Falco was wearing a dress shirt, tie and nice pants. Fox eyed him suspiciously. Wonder what's with the nice clothes. Fox thought to himself as he and Krystal walked out of their hotel room, shut the door, and followed Falco to the elevator. (A/N: the word "shut" was almost typed wrong...)
Once they got down to the lobby, they found Peppy waiting for them outside.
"Where's Slip this time?" Falco said, crossing his arms.
Fox rolled his eyes. The idea of a peaceful night out was just thrown out the window.
Slippy stumbled out of the elevator, tucking his shirt in and running towards the door. Somebody slept in. Fox thought. When Slippy caught up to them, they were off.
The restaurant was a mile away, so it was going to take them about ten minutes to get there. Luckily, they didn't have plans with anybody else, or so Fox thought.
The team didn't say much on their way there, since they spend every day together.
Ten minutes later, they arrived to the restaurant, and checked in at the counter. They seated the team, putting Falco at his own table, and doing the same for Fox and Krystal. "Not sure why Falco is sitting alone, but at least he and Slippy aren't arguing." Krystal said quietly enough for only Fox, who chuckled, to hear her.
The waiter brought them menus, and went back to the kitchen when Falco whispered something in his ear. "Huh." Krystal said. "Didn't take our drink orders."
"I believe Falco's expecting somebody." Fox replied, taking the opportunity to look over his menu once more.
That moment, Katt Monroe, Falco's life crush, walked in the door of the restaurant and fast-walked over to Falco, who had his back turned to the door. Fox looked away, since Falco wouldn't be very happy if he spotted Fox eavesdropping on his date.
The rest of the night was uneventful. Everybody went back to their hotel rooms. (Katt went back with Falco, mind you.)
Alright, chapter 3... wait, no 4? 7.5? I don't know. Anyways, I think I'll probably do 1 day per chapter, and a total of three days on each planet. Sounds like a good plan.
Anyways, thanks for reading!
