Welcome to chapter 2. I promise this one to be longer, more detailed, and less choppy. If you haven't checked the website lately, I posted that I would skip the recovery since it caused a lot of trouble for me writing it. For this chapter, I noticed something that helps you feel the scene. While I read over it, I listened to a song; the tone of it threw me into this world, and I felt everything. I advise that you listen to Different Stars by Trespassers William while you read the beginning. If you have Spotify, look it up there, or open a new tab and listen to it on Youtube while you read. So, let's get going.

On with the chapter…

Chapter 2: Returning Home

As the days passed by, Kevin recovered from his side and facial injury. With the help of MAM and Krystal, he was also able to use his robotic leg with ease. The only thing that Kevin must now do… is relax, let the pain melt, and live a normal life once more.

The Day of the Arrival

I slowly awoke to the light of a sun shining through the large space window in my room. I opened my eyes entirely and saw that the room had an orange color to it from the sun. I slowly got up and sat on the edge of the bed. I looked up at the light and shielded my eyes slightly. Once I shook some of the sleep off, I slowly stood up and walked over to the ceiling-to-floor window. Next to it was a small touch panel; I entered a command that dimmed the window and light. The special glass was now darker and blocked some of the light. I turned around and stretched; I couldn't believe that I finally had some decent rest. After I finished that, I walked over to the bathroom; when I entered, the lights turned on. On the wall was another touch panel, but with a clock on it as well.

"10:00 A.M Corneria Standards" the clock read.

I saw the time and entered a command on the panel; the water in the shower was activated and set to my precise temperature. After the shower was on, I looked at myself in the mirror; I was wearing my grey silk night shirt and pants. My face was healing a bit more; a slight scar ran from my forehead, around my left eye, and down my left cheek. After a minute of nothing, the computer spoke.

"Water is set to custom temperature" the computer stated.

I then undressed myself and stepped into the shower. The water felt nice on my skin; it was the first decent one I could take in a while. I let the warm and soothing water run onto my skin for a while until I grabbed the soap. I covered my body with it and rinsed it off. I grabbed it once more and put it in my hair, scrubbing hard to really clean it. Once I was through, I rinsed it as well and stepped out of the shower. I entered the same command on the panel and turned the shower off. The panel returned to the home screen, where it controlled the rest of the functions. I tapped the cabinet command and opened the in-wall cabinet that was next to the panel; inside were towels. I grabbed one and dried myself off; when I finished, I wrapped it around my waist and walked out into my room. It was colder in the room than it was in the bathroom.

I took a deep breath, "Much better" I quietly said to myself.

I walked over to the closet and pressed the open button on the touch pad. The large door then slid open and revealed not only my clothing, but also my suit of armor. The suit was placed inside of a glass case and was standing up; on either side were my clothes hanging. I slowly raised my hand and touched the glass; I looked at the left hand area; the glove was missing. I then looked at the helmet; the visor was missing, and a large, deep scratch ran from the top left to the bottom. I then looked at my left hand, the grey robotic limb that was now a part of me. I then looked at the right leg; nothing was wrong with it except for a few dents and some burn marks. Next to the suit inside of the glass was my new blaster; the odd shaped D-40 pistol with a curved bayonet attached to it.

I sighed softly as memories started to fill my head. The hit to my face that shattered the visor, the slash to my face that broke the helmet, the scratch to my face, my shattered hand all filled my head. I pushed the memories away and looked down at my right leg; the large robotic limb that caused me trouble at first. I had no problem now, but it still bothered me.

I smiled at this; it wasn't entirely bad that I had lost my two limbs. The good side to this was that I was now a cyborg. On top of that, I had increased strength in my leg; that'll come in handy for fighting. The only down side was the fact that I lost my hand and leg.

"We're free to choose our path, but we cannot choose the consequences that come with it." I said to myself quietly. That quote had been rumbling in my head for a while; the one by Sean Covey. He wrote a book that I read in my class. I couldn't remember exactly what it was called, but it had something to do with life choices and how to deal with them.

After my mind filled with emptiness, I grabbed a black V-Neck shirt and dark blue jeans. I then grabbed some boxers and socks. I took the clothes and laid them on my bed. I put the boxers and socks on, and then I put the jeans on. They were a bit tighter than I remember, but they looked fine. Thankfully, my robotic leg was the same size as my real leg, so the clothes fit with no problem. Once they were on, I put the black shirt on; it was thin and had a V-Neck. I got comfortable in them and walked back over to the closet. I moved the shirts around and found my black leather jacket hanging. I grabbed it and slipped it on over me. It felt just as usual; perfect fitting and comfortable. The clock on the closet panel read '11:00 A.M'.

"I should contact Fox" I said to myself quietly.

I walked to the side of my bed and to my nightstand. Laying on the stand was my communicator; I grabbed it and slipped it onto my right wrist. Once it was in place, I called Fox.

"Fox here" he replied as his image appeared.

I sat down on the bed, "So what's today's plan?" I asked.

He shrugged, "Not really sure, but we're close to Corneria."

I looked over to my window; the sun was still shining through: Solar.

"Why don't you head on up to the bridge and we'll discuss it." He then said.

I liked the idea, "Sure, I'll be up in a minute." I looked back at the window and at Solar, "Kevin out".

I stood up and walked over to the window. The tinted glass allowed me to look at Solar straight on with no problem. I placed my left hand on the glass and felt the warmth that the star was emitting. I felt peace rush through my body as it was finally capable of doing so. I was happy that the war was over, and I was happy that I was done with all of it.

"These are true friends" I quietly said, "Better than what I had on Earth."

I put my hand back to my side and walked towards the door. I pressed the button next to it and had the door slide open. I walked out and into the long hallway. I looked down both ways; to the right were the other rooms, and to the left was the elevator that led to the bridge. I headed for the elevator and called it down. I stood there in silence as I waited for the doors to open. After a few seconds passed, I heard a door slide open from behind me. I looked back and saw Falco emerge from his room dressed in black jeans, a white shirt, and a black jacket. Just then, the elevator door slid open. I turned back and entered the small room.

"You mind holding that for me?" Falco said as he started to walk a bit faster.

I smiled, "Nah you can wait"

He chuckled, "Very funny" He then entered the small room with me.

"Bridge" I said aloud. The elevator started to move upwards.

Falco looked over at me, "So how's the leg?"

I lifted my right leg up a little and moved it around, "Fine, as if it was real."

He nodded, "What about the hand?"

I lifted my left hand and moved it around as well, "Same thing"

Falco nodded once more, "How are you… you know… overall."

I shrugged, "I'm fine now, but I'll be better once I get these memories out of me."

Falco looked a bit confused, "Out?"

I nodded, "Krystal is helping me remove the ones that are implanted on my brain. She already helped me with a few, but some of them she said will only be lowered, not removed."

Falco nodded, "So you'll be stuck with them?"

I sighed, "Yeah, but they'll be distant; far enough to the point where I can hardly recall them."

The door then suddenly slid open as the elevator stopped moving. On the other side was the bridge of the Great Fox. Fox was sitting at his spot in the center, while Peppy was on the lower level with ROB. Falco and I then walked in and to our stations. Mine was to the right of Fox.

"We should be getting a good signal from Corneria. Computers should work fine right now." Fox said as he saw Falco and I sit down.

"Cool" I replied, "It'd be nice to see what's happening down on the surface."

Fox shook his head, "Nothing really happened while we were gone." He said, "The most interesting was General Pepper sending the crew of workers to Earth."

"Ah" I replied, "Did it say how many he sent?" I asked.

Fox nodded, "He sent about 10,000 workers from multiple different construction companies. All of the companies are top-of-the-line and highly experienced."

I was glad to hear this; "Thank god" I released a sigh of relief.

I turned back around and looked at the holo screen that was in front of me. On the screen was the Star Fox logo. I logged into it and entered the web browser. It took me to the main news page for Corneria. The page contained various stories; Star Fox returning, General Pepper sending the work force, General Pepper signing off on a reform that lead to better pay for workers, etc.

"You're right" I said, "Not much interesting happened."

Fox chuckled, "What I tell you?"

I turned my attention back to the screen. A few more stories took the place of the previous. The new ones had to do with celebrities. It's funny because I know none of them.

Peppy suddenly spoke up, "We're about to enter atmosphere."

I looked towards the large window at the front. A huge blue and green planet was right in front of us. Almost immediately, I thought of Earth and the current state that it's in. I sighed at the sight, "…earth" I quietly said.

Fox turned towards me, "Kevin?" he asked.

I shook out of my trance, "Yeah Fox?

"Can you go and check on Slippy and Krystal?" He asked, "Their communicators are off right now."

I nodded in reply and got up from my seat. I walked over to the elevator and called it. The doors slid open and I entered the small room.

"Living quarters" I said.

The elevator then began its decent to the living quarter level. On the way down, I thought about Earth. Mass destruction basically rigged the planet, along with Anarchy left in its wake. Wolf probably got what he wanted; a destroyed planet. I was not happy about this in any way. I sighed at the thought.

The doors then suddenly slid open. I shook out of my trance once more and entered the long hallway. My first stop was Krystal's room. I neared her door and faced towards it. Before I even knocked, she opened the door.

"Hey Kevin" she said.

She was wearing a light purple shirt and dark blue jeans. To me, she looked stunning; it was the first time I actually saw her in real clothes, besides her flight suit.

"Uh…" I paused, "H-hey…" I stammered slightly, "…Fox said that we should be… docking with the planet in a few minutes."

She nodded, "Okay, I'll head up there right now." She then exited her room and headed for the elevator. I watched as she walked away. Once she was halfway, I turned around and headed for Slippy's room.

As I was walking she spoke out, "Thank you for the kind thoughts."

I was filled with embarrassment when she said that. I felt my cheeks rush with blood and heat up at the words. I even started to sweat a little. I always thought that Krystal was beautiful, but I never thought of asking her anything; we were just friends and that was that. Besides, Fox is the one that deserves her; he's a good man and really does deserve a woman like her. Hell, I was actually willing to help Fox if he needed any.

I reached Slippy's room and knocked several times. He answered quickly. Slippy was already dressed in his yellow flight suit.

"What's up?" He asked.

I looked back down the hall, "Fox said that we are about to dock with Corneria. You should probably head up there."

He nodded, "Okay, I'll head up in a minute." He then closed the door.

"That was pretty sudden of him" I thought. I turned and headed down the hall. Krystal was still waiting for the elevator. Purposely, I started to walk a little slower; I was still pretty embarrassed about it. I continued my walk until the doors opened. Once they did, I started to walk a little faster. I didn't want to wait, so I just decided to go with my gut.

"Hold that elevator" I said loudly.

Krystal smiled and kept the doors opened for me.

"Where's Slippy?" She asked as the doors closed.

I shrugged, "He said he'd be up in a minute."

She nodded, "He's always busy with something."

I chuckled, "Don't you know what it is?" I asked, "He closed the door on me in a hurry."

She laughed, "Yes, it's always about technology. He's really dedicated to his work."

Slippy was a real tech jock. He always would work on something tech related, whether it is his communicator or Arwing or even research that his dad sent him.

"Can't argue with that." I said, "It's because of him that we have all this technology."

Krystal agreed and nodded her head.

We were quiet for a second. I decided to break it.

"Hey, I'm sorry about that." I said.

She looked confused, "What do you mean?"

I lowered my head and scratched the back of my neck, "You know… thoughts."

Krystal chuckled, "Oh don't feel ashamed. I actually thought it was sweet."

I chuckled, "That's a relief." I sighed, "You know Fox liked you a lot, right?"

Krystal chuckled and nodded her head, "Yes, I sensed it when we first met."

I chuckled back, "I think you two are perfect for each other." I chuckled once more.

Krystal looked like she was blushing, but it was hidden by her fur, "You think?" she asked.

I nodded, "Of course; everyone on Earth practically knows. Well, anyone who played."

She laughed, "I still find that really weird."

The elevator doors then suddenly slid open. I looked at Krystal, she nodded to me. The two of us then walked out and headed for our stations; Krystal's was next to mine.

"Good morning, Krystal." Fox said as we sat down.

"Good morning, Fox." Krystal replied.

I sat down and turned my attention to the holo screen. I looked at it and saw a new story pop up. It caught my attention quickly. I read the title; it had some words I rather it not have said.

"Aw crap…" I said quietly. "…are you kidding?"

Fox and Krystal must have both heard me.

"What wrong?" Fox asked.

I moved away from the screen and showed the two the title. They both shrugged.

"So?" Fox said.

I shook my head, "For you it's okay. Me? Not so much."

Krystal was still confused, "Why is this bad?"

Fox then lowered his head, "Oh yeah… I remember now."

I looked back at the screen and read the title once more. That same sick feeling you get when you're nervous overcame me. The title read, "Lylat's Hero's Return from Distant Planet War! Thousands gather to watch the homecoming!" I was incredibly uncomfortable about this. Before, I only received criticism and hate. I feared that it only doubled while we were gone.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Fox said, "The most that they'll do is an interview. They always ask simple questions. And if they do hate, you have my permission to kick that persona ass."

I laughed at what Fox had said, "Oh trust me, I'll make sure that person re thinks if they say something like that." I calmed down and spoke again, "I still feel odd about it." The same sick feeling kept coming up in my stomach and only got worse.

Krystal put her hand on my shoulder, "I'll help you during the interview; if they do it, of course."

I nodded and smiled, "Thanks"

Peppy spoke up, "Three minutes until we dock with the base."

I looked out ahead. A large city was now in our view. The sight astounded me; huge buildings, bright holo signs, and the coast line. Corneria was truly a magnificent sight to see.

A few minutes passed when Slippy entered the bridge and sat at his station. He was still dressed in his yellow suit.

"What took you so long?" I heard Falco asked.

"Work" Slippy replied.

Peppy spoke up once more, "You all might as well head to the hangar. We're about done with the docking."

Fox got up from his seat, "You heard him." He stretched "Let's go meet the people."

I took a deep breath and got up from my seat. I was about to walk out in front of all those that criticized me and hated me. Granted, there were a few that didn't care much about my existence, but most of Corneria didn't like the idea.

The five of us walked into the elevator and took it all the way down to the hangar. The doors opened and led us into the lower deck of the hangar. The air lock shield was still in place as we walked towards it.

"You ready?" Fox asked as he looked over at me.

I slowly nodded, "Yeah"

On the other side of the shield was the enormous crowd that gathered. They were cheering loudly as the Great Fox slowly lowered and landed on the docking pad. We waited until Great Fox had stopped moving and the shield lowered. Once it did, the five of us walked down the large ramp that was extended to get us off of the ship. Three men in uniforms approached us about halfway down the ramp; behind them was General Pepper. Once the men reached us, we both stopped. The three men then stood aside a saluted the five of us. We did the same in return. Once that was done, General Pepper came forward.

"It's good to see you all." He said, "Especially you, Kevin."

I nodded, "It's good to be back, sir." I was a bit overwhelmed by the cheering the enormous crowd was emitting; I could hardly hear General over them and the ship engines.

"Fox, when you have a chance, can you meet me in my office? It doesn't have to be today since you just returned, but I'd rather it be soon." General Pepper told Fox.

He nodded in reply, "No problem, I'll see if I can try for today."

General Pepper smiled, "Good to know. Also, the main building here is set for an interview if you'd like." He then turned around and headed off of the ramp with the three other men. A large group of men then went up the ramp and into the hangar; they were there to take the Landmasters and other equipment for maintenance and such. We continued our walk down the large ramp.

I looked ahead and over the fence that kept the people back, next to them was the same building that General Pepper was referring to.

Falco then sighed, "Here come the paparazzi."

I looked to the right and saw a group of people with cameras and microphones walking over to the ship ramp. When we reached the bottom, Fox walked out in front of us and put his hands up. The crowd stopped when they saw this.

"My team and I will gladly answer any questions you have. If you will please move into that large building, we will hold a small interview there." Fox explained to the crowd. Surprisingly, they went back and headed for the building.

Fox looked at me and put his hand on my shoulder, "Get ready"

We all then headed for the same building and entered through the back. Waiting at the door was a tall man wearing a suit. He had a weapon at his side.

"Welcome home, Star Fox." The man said as he opened the door for us. We all nodded to him as we entered.

Fox lead us into the main room, in it were all the reporters and cameras. We walked out and sat down at the table that was in front of them. When I sat down, I looked out into the crowd and saw some odd faces. People were looking at me; I knew for a fact that it was directed to me; why else would they be giving those looks to me?

Krystal leaned over, "Don't worry about them."

I nodded and sighed, "I'll be fine."

Fox then got up and had the crowd quiet down, "Okay, let's get this started. My team is incredibly tired and we want to make this quick."

Suddenly, the reporters started to yell multiple different things simultaneously. Fox then pointed to a white furred feline in the front row. She stood up and composed herself.

"Samantha Barnes for the Weekly Report News. I think that we all want to know this: What planet was the war taking place on?" she asked.

Fox then looked over at me, "I think he should answer this." He said as he pointed right at me.

My heart sank. I looked back at him and whispered, "Why?" Seeing no way out, I decided to answer.

I cleared my throat and went with my gut, "Well…" I said, "…this war took place on my home planet; Earth. It is very much similar to Corneria, the only difference is my race inhabits the planet and is the dominant species there." I cleared my throat once more, "If you're going to ask why we went there to begin with; it's because I don't let anyone mess with my home. I've had a rough life up until Star Fox accepted me; watching someone threaten my home was not an option. And if Wolf took it over with his army, he would use the armies on Earth for his personal gain." I explained.

The woman then nodded and sat down, "Thank you"

Fox nodded at me and smiled, "Next question?"

The reporters then started to yell out questions again. Fox pointed to a black canine in the second row.

"Joshua Miles for CNS. This is for the non-Cornerian..." The canine said.

I lowered my head and sighed at the words that the man had just spoken.

"I notice…" I cut off the canine when he said this.

"First of all… my name is Kevin, asshole. Second, don't ever think of intimidating me." I said. I was pissed, and I wasn't going to hold back. Fox already said I could kick some ass if it had to come to that.

The canine looked at me and then spoke once more, "I couldn't help but notice your leg, face, and hand. What exactly happened?" He asked.

A slight murmur filled the room. Fox quickly looked at me, "Kevin, you don't have to answer that." He had a worried look on his face.

I shook my head and smiled, "No… I'm fine with it."

Fox shrugged and looked back out to the crowd.

I sat up a little, "To answer your question; it is a war injury." I said, "I told you not to intimidate me earlier; I will now tell you why."

The man nodded.

I continued, "I got this from when I killed Wolf O'Donnell." I stared at the Joshua. The murmur returned once I finished the sentence.

"Can you explain?" He asked with an intrigued look on his face.

I nodded, "Gladly; I entered the base that Wolf was in. According to the map I had Slippy send me; I found that he was hiding in the main bridge. I made my way up there and had to take out one of his Marauders; an elite team that he created. This member was the last one and the leader; the others were killed by me as well. I killed him and found that Wolf was in fact waiting for me." I explained. "I made it into the bridge and found Wolf standing there, waiting." I paused and lowered my head, "After that, he fired at me, I fired back. Both our guns were knocked out of our hands, which led to the injuries. After a long fight, Wolf grabbed my hand when I threw and punch and shattered it. He threw me to the wall and I feel in pain. At this point, a self-destruct program was activated, causing the room to fall apart and fill with fires." I shook my head, "If it wasn't for Krystal… I… I wouldn't have… won." I stammered and exhaled. I looked back up and looked at the crowd, "But hey, I think you all would have liked that instead." I said harshly.

Silence filled the room when I said that.

The room was silent for a minute when Falco broke it, "Damn Kev" he said amidst the silence.

I kept the same sharp look focused on the crowd, "Next question?"

The crowd then started to speak again, but in a lower tone than before. A white vulpine in the back caught my attention.

"You, in the back." I said.

He spoke loudly, "This is for Mr. McCloud."

I looked over at Fox. His attention was set on the vulpine.

"Was Wolf the cause of this? If so, did…Kevin… really kill him?" The vulpine asked.

Fox nodded, "Yes, Wolf O'Donnell was secretly constructing an army. He used it to get back against Kevin after he nearly killed him before. Kevin was shot out of the sky during a fight on Fortuna. He ejected and made his way to the base we were fighting over and stole a tank. Kevin nearly shot Wolf out of the sky." Fox explained. "This caused Wolf's thirst for revenge against Kevin." He paused and looked at me, "The first time we encountered Wolf's army, Kevin killed Leon Powalski."

The crowd's attention was turned towards me. I slouched into my chair slightly at the sudden realization.

Fox chuckled, "I think we have time for one more." Fox said.

The crowd once again went loud. Fox pointed to a female in the middle; she was a white avian.

"This is for Kevin" She said.

I sat back up in my chair and sighed. This entire thing ended up being for me.

I gestured to her, "Go ahead"

"What was the damage inflicted on Earth?" She asked, "Was the construction team sent there for damage repair or alliance?"

I was quiet for a minute. I thought about the question; damage to earth. Thinking of it was pulling me into a state of trance once more.

"Sir?" She asked.

Krystal put her hand on my shoulder, "Kevin?"

The memories played in my head; when the squad was lost, Blaze sacrificing himself, the unknown whereabouts of Marry, all of them played over and over.

"Oh no" I heard Krystal say.

I then felt her enter my subconscious. She immediately tried to speak with me.

"Kevin, snap out of it." She said.

After a minute passed, I was knocked out of my trance. I shook my head quickly. The crowd started to whisper slightly. I felt total embarrassment overcome my body. How the hell did I just lose it like that?

I started to clear my throat, "Um…" my voice was a bit shaky, "…the damage was… it was bad. Cities were leveled, countries were destroyed, and troops were lost…" I stopped, "…the countries of my planet were all united. They all helped each other until Wolf came and corrupted all of my countries allies." I explained, "It was my home land's army…against Wolf's and the new enemies."

The woman cleared her throat, "Oh… I… I'm sorry if I cause anything. I did not intend for you to feel this way."

I shook my head, "It's fine. What's done is done."

The woman nodded and sat back down.

Fox stood up, as well as the rest of the team.

"We do appreciate your questions, but we really need to get some rest." He said.

I then stood up and left the room first. I headed for the door and barged through it. I had a very sick feeling overcome me. It was so bad that I feel to my knees and started to gag. The man that watched the door quickly ran over to my side.

"Oh god, are you okay?" He asked.

I kept gagging a little. The feeling was so great and painful; it felt like someone was jabbing a stick into my stomach. After I few moments of silence, the rest of the team came running through the door; they all ran to my side.

"Kevin, are you okay?" Fox asked.

I started to breathe slowly and deeply. Once I gained control over the feeling, I slowly nodded my head. I then got back up to my feet and gained my balance.

"I'm… I'm fine" I stammered.

Fox had his hand on my shoulders, supporting me.

"Let's head back to the estate. Pepper has a craft waiting for us out front." Fox said.

I nodded and pushed his hands from my shoulders, "Don't worry, I'm good."

Fox nodded, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, Fox" I said a bit loudly.

He nodded once more and started to walk for the front. I followed after him along with the rest of the team. When we rounded the corner of the building, we saw the crowd surrounding our vehicle.

"Aw crap" Falco said.

Suddenly, the man in the suit emerged from behind us, "I'll handle this."

He then headed for the crowd, "Follow me"

Once he reached the edge of the people, he started to yell. "Alright people, back it up. We got the team walking through. If you don't move, I WILL have you arrested for disturbing the peace."

I was shocked; I didn't think that he would go to such extremes. Nonetheless, the people cleared a straight path to our vehicle. We started to walk through the crowd; people were yelling things left and right. I heard a few scream things about the 'blonde one' and the 'one with no fur'. I knew that they were directed to me; I was the only blonde and the only with no fur.

We reached the hover vehicle and were met by a chauffeur. He opened the door for us and let all five of us in. Once we were settled, he closed the door and headed back to the driver seat. He entered the seat started to pilot his way into the sky. I looked out the window as we flew into the sky; the Great Fox was now docked, the crowd was dispersing, and the news reporters were leaving the building.

"That went rather interesting." Krystal suddenly said.

I looked over at her; the team was all looking at me.

"What?" I asked as I shrugged.

Fox was staring at me, "What you said back there… that took some guts."

I was a bit confused, "What part?"

Falco spoke up, "That Corneria would rather you be dead."

I laughed, "Is it not true?" I asked, "You saw the criticism I received before the war. I only spoke the truth."

Fox nodded, "I understand. Maybe their view will change after the news report goes out and broadcasted to homes all around Corneria." He chuckled, "It's bound to make everyone think twice about you; I mean you killed Wolf, the most wanted criminal in Lylat."

Slippy spoke up, "People here are just really judgmental."

After a few minutes of silence, we neared the team estate. It looked exactly as we left it; huge and clean.

The chauffeur spoke, "We have arrived."

He landed the craft in the main driveway. Once it was set down, he exited the driver seat and opened the door for us. We all exited and headed for the house. As I exited, Fox gave the chauffeur a hefty tip for the smooth trip.

"Thank you, Mr. McCloud." The chauffeur said.

Fox replied, "No, thank you for the ride."

I watched as Fox walked away from the craft.

"You may want to get some rest." He said, "That moment you had during the interview was pretty bad."

I nodded, "Yeah, I'm actually starting to get a slight headache. I'm gonna head to my room right now and sleep; I'm pretty sure that it'll help me."

Fox patted my shoulder. We both walked inside and split; I went upstairs to my room, while Fox walked into the kitchen. I opened the door to my room and took off my jacket. The room looked the same as it was when we left it, but it felt odd. It was probably because I hadn't been in it for a while.

"Time for a good, long nap." I quietly told myself as I flopped down onto my bed. I turned around and faced the ceiling, thinking about numerous subjects. The one that circled my head the most was the safety of Earth. An alliance with Corneria would really help it, not to mention remove the horrid governments that currently rule Earth; communism, socialism, monarchy, dictatorship, etc. They were all too different, that's why there was always fighting. Earth adopting the government here would really help. After a few minutes of thinking, I drifted off into sleep.

To Be Continued…
