"Fox, I've got an incoming message for you, its from Krystal again," Peppy shouted at Fox, who was counting the credits they had received from their successful mission on Dinosaur Planet. Fox quickly abandoned the money and, trying to hide his excitement, walked slowly over to his comm. System.
"Hello, this is Fox," he said trying to maintain his composure in front of Krystal. "Oh, Hi Fox, nice to see you again, I'm just calling to say farewell, I hope you have a safe trip back to Corneria," Krystal said with a hint of sorrow. "I wish I could go with you Fox, I'd love to see what Corneria is like..." Fox sat silent for a while, not knowing how to say goodbye to her. "Fox, are you still there?" Krystal said in a confused tone of voice.
Fox had an idea, if he let Krystal join Star Fox, he wouldn't have to leave her on Dinosaur Planet, he could see her whenever he wanted, but there was a catch, he didn't know if the other members would accept this idea or if he even had to courage to ask Krystal. Fox had to decide now before they entered hyperspace.
"Krystal, uh, would you want to, I mean, could I..." Fox stuttered, unable to find the right words, his ability to think and speak was hindered whenever he talked to Krystal. "Fox, are you all-right?" Krystal said, sounding concerned. "Krystal, how would you.... like to come.... with us to Corneria, er, Sound good?" "Really Fox, You would let me come with you?" Krystal replied with a mixed utterance of joy and relief. "Uh, Ya, I think you'll be a good addition to.... the team." He replied, trying to pick the right words. "Of course I'll go with you Fox, I've always wanted to see Corneria, I've heard that it's quite a beautiful place. Are you sure it will be okay with the others aboard the ship?" She replied happily. "Uh, Ya, No....no problem. I'll be right down as soon as I...." Krystal cut him short. "It's alright Fox, I still have my ship that I took from the Sharpclaw, remember?" Oh ya...right, well, I guess I'll see ya soon, uh, contact me if.... you run into any problems...." "Oh Fox, don't worry about me, see you in a little while." "Ya.... bye." The hologram disappeared back into the comm. System. Fox slumped into his chair.... He knew he would have to confront his teammates about their newly acquired team member, and he knew it would probably not end well...
Fox got up and went to the intercom system that ran throughout the ship. " We are having a mandatory meeting in the Rec. Room at 14:00, repeat, mandatory meeting in the Rec. Room at 14:00. We will temporarily delay departure for Corneria." He deactivated the intercom and left with an awkward feeling in his stomach.
Fox thought to himself, How am I going to tell them what I've done. I don't know if there is an easy way outta this. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all, but I can't just leave Krystal all alone, but...is it worth risking the trust of my teammates? His thoughts were disrupted by the sound of the comm. system's beeping. He pressed the activation button and Krystal's face appeared again on the hologram. "Hi, Fox, just checking in to say that I am almost aboard the Great Fox." Fox hesitantly replied, " Great.... then I guess...I'll see ya soon." "All right then, see you shortly." She said with a sound of delight. The comm. System again turned off and the hologram disappeared. Fox looked up at the hanging holographic clock and saw that it was 14:02; He was late for his own meeting. Fox hurried out of the room, still feeling unsure about how exactly he could tell them.
He arrived at the Rec. room about five minutes late. The doors slid open and he saw Slippy and Peppy patiently waiting at the center table in the room, and Falco was by himself in the far corner of the room leaning on the wall.
"Well, look who decided to show up to his own meeting, glad you could find the time to make it Fox," Falco said exaggeratingly. "I'm surprised you're here at all Falco," Fox replied. Falco just shrugged and sat at the table with the others. "So what's this meeting for Fox?" Slippy asked. "Well," Fox began, trying to find the exact words to tell them, "I have just finished talking with Krystal.." Falco cut him off and said, "You mean that blue fox you saved on Dinosaur Planet, heheh, I see..." Fox blushed slightly under his fur and replied, "Ya, well, anyway, I told her that.....that she could, come with us to Corneria." Fox's stomach turned over when he said this, not knowing what kind of reaction he would get. "And possibly join the team..." He said without realizing. Falco stood up fast and his chair was sent in the opposite direction across the floor. "Are you serious Fox?" Fox looked Falco straight in the eyes and said, "Ya, I'm serious," desperately trying to keep control over the discussion. "What makes you think you can just let people join like this? Does she even have any kind of experience in space?" Fox knew it would be hard for him to get control of the conversation from Falco and managed to say,"Well, she does have experience flying a ship......and..." Falco cut him off and said, "Heh, I see...This Krystal girl, you like her don't you?" Fox looked away from Falco and blushed. "Heh, that's so cute, little Fox is getting' so big." "None of your business, Falco, and I don't care what you say, she will join us." "Fox and Krystal sittin' in a tree...." Slippy playfully mocked. Fox glared at Slippy and he quickly cut short his rhyme.
They heard a feint sound of a ship landing in the docking bay above them. Peppy looked at Fox and said, "Are you sure this is a good idea Fox?" Fox stood silent, looking at his team who were waiting for an answer. ROB who entered the room at that moment saved Fox from answering the question. ROB said, "There is a blue female fox requesting entrance into the Great Fox, shall I allow entrance?" "Yes," Fox replied without hesitation, "I'll be up to see her in a second." "Confirmed," replied ROB, and he walked out of the room. "So that's it? You're gonna let her join, huh? If you think that's best then I don't have a problem with it, Fox." Peppy said and Slippy nodded showing his approval. Falco however did not share the same opinion. He just walked out of the room with out saying any thing more. "Meeting dismissed, we will depart tomorrow morning for Corneria." Fox said and he walked out to meet Krystal. This is perfect. I can't believe that the team is taking the news so well, maybe even I can catch a break once in a while...
