And second and final chapter. Enjoy.
Lucas tugged on Fox's jacket.
"Fox? Are you okay?"
The vulpine gritted his teeth. "Go away Lucas."
"W-what?"
"Just go away!" he roared, shoving him out of the way and sprinting through the halls of the mansion, almost crashing into Samus.
"What's the big deal, Fox?" she called.
He stopped and spun around, tears streaming down his face. "Falco's dead."
Her eyes widened, and she walked up to him, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Fox... I'm so sorry."
He threw her hand off, continuing to run down the halls.
"What's happening?" Fox heard Wolf's voice behind him.
"Fox said Falco is dead," Samus explained calmly.
Fox flung the doors of the mansion open, and collapsed onto the doorstep, his head in his hands.
Why would he do something like this? he wondered. Why on earth would he commit suicide?
He thought back to the words on the computer, and his fists clenched in fury.
If they never said those things... Falco would still be alive.
He sighed, and crouched into a ball. He felt as though his life had crashed down around him. They'd never laugh together, they'd never be on the Star Fox team together again. They were completely separate now.
Falco... if you can hear me... know that I'm sorry I ignored your pain... sorry that I didn't do anything to help you... I'm sorry...
And for a moment, he thought he felt a hand on his shoulder, and he thought he could hear someone say...
It's all going to be okay.
He turned around, but saw that no one was there.
Could it have been...? No, it couldn't.
Fox looked up to the overcast sky. The sun peeked out from behind the clouds, a ray of sunlight shining on his face.
"Falco... I'll miss you," Fox whispered.
But I'll be strong. For you, I'll move on. I'll live every day of my life to the fullest, for the both of us.
I really wasn't expecting my story to be as popular as it is now. But this is the end of it. Now go and review, my lovelies.
