I don't own star fox or any characters in it..blah blah blah

The Romantic Get Away

Fox's nose twitched from the strong aroma of disinfectant that filled the medium sized hospital room. He was visiting his close friend and mentor Peppy Hare. The man had been like a father to Fox ever since James died and he didn't know what he would do if anything extremely serious happened to him. But the good thing was that he was making a fast recovery.

Fox let his eyes wander around the room and couldn't help but think how nice a room Peppy got. It was even better than the rooms on the Great Fox. There was a white hospital bed, a wooden nightstand containing flowers and cards sent from various relatives, friends, and some from the Star Fox team. There was also a blue chair in the corner of the room with a bookcase next to it and a good-sized bathroom with a shower, sink, toilet, and medicine cabinet. And to top it all off a balcony with a few lawn chairs, that had an ocean view. Fox started to think Peppy was lucky until he looked back over at the bed, containing a pretty banged up, but cheerful Peppy. He was sitting on a metal chair by the hare's bedside. Peppy was dressed in a blue poka dotted hospital gown, while Fox wore the same out fit he wore on Sauria.

"So how have you kids been since I've been in this place? Has Falco killed Slippy yet? Peppy questioned, with slight humor in his voice. I'm not there to break up their little fights anymore, you know."

Fox couldn't help but give a little chuckle at the question the old hare just asked. " No, not yet. Although Falco did threaten to throw Slippy out the Hotel window, but besides that things are good. Fox replied with a smirk.

" How about Krystal is she doing alright? Peppy asked with a grin. I'm worried because I'm not there to chaperone you two. I don't want you getting that beautiful girl pregnant just yet." Peppy with a sky smile, while looking right at the shocked vulpine.

Fox's turned crimson red and his eyes got huge. His head looked like a big cherry with ears. He scratched his head nervously and tried to think of the best response he could, without showing how embarrassed he was. Peppy

couldn't help but laugh at the young vulpines expense. Once the team leader recovered a little from the hare's remark he tried to answer in the most confident voice he could muster.

" Sh..She's good. Umm..Yeah she's great…...no not great like that, as in se…uhh….I mean… she's as happy as ever…but you know were j..just friends." Fox stuttered, while he continued to scratch the back of his furry head.

Peppy smiled at the young fox's nervous reply. Fox always stutters when he's nervous, which isn't too often, except when a certain blue vixen was involved, Peppy thought.

" Well you know what? I think she really likes you. She was always asking if you were okay and she was flirting with you a lot during the aparoid invasion. You two definitely have potential to become a couple and produce healthy kits." Peppy said thoughtfully as he rubbed his chin.

"Jeez Peppy enough with the kits stuff, I mean I haven't even kissed her yet. Let alone…Well you know. Fox managed to say without one stutter.

Fox couldn't help but feel like a young teenage boy again, that was asking his father for advice on how to get a pretty girl at school to like him. He felt like such a loser. What would his father think? He had lived with Krystal for a year now, and he couldn't even make a move on her. What a pathetic, idiot I am. Fox thought shamefully.

" You know Fox, your Father had the same problem with your mother. Except his case was worse than yours.

The vulpines ears perked up at that. "Really? Fox asked in amazement. But Dad was always so confident when it came to women."

" He was, until Vixy was involved. Just like you with Krystal. Man, he would turn to Jell-O if you mother even said hello to him! But he managed to over come that and become close friends with her. Peppy crossed his arms and closed his eyes, reminiscing on good times he had with Fox's father. "Your father still didn't have the guts to ask her out on a date though." Peppy said with a laugh."

Fox laughed at that. He gestured for Peppy to continue.

" James would scratch the back of his head and stutter when it came to Vixy, just like you. Fox, your like your father in so many ways its scary." The hare whispered.

Fox stopped scratching the back of his head and his eye's widened. " You really think so?" Fox asked excitedly.

" Hell yeah." Peppy laughed. " You have the same girl problems, your brave, you're the spitting image of him, you have the same muscular build, you do the same things when your nervous, your a natural born leader, just like him, and you both have a heart of gold." Peppy counted the ways they were the same on his paws and said the last one more slowly than the others,

Fox opened his mouth to say something, but Peppy cut him off.

" Your mother and father, would be damn proud of the man you've become. I know that for a fact." Peppy said in low voice.

Fox's eyes watered a little and he wiped them with the back of his hand.

"What do you think Mom and Dad would think of Krystal?" Fox asked.

"Oh, God they would be absolutely crazy about her. They're routing for you Fox!" Peppy leaned over and placed a paw on Fox's shoulder.

Fox laughed and then pondered about what Peppy had said in the half-hour he was there. Until he finally realized that something his old friend told him that confused him.

" But wait how did Dad and Mom get together then? If dad was too nervous to ask her out, then how did they end up getting married and having me? Fox questioned with a look of confusion on his face.

" Well I sent them on a vacation alone together. And that's what I'm going to do with you and Krystal." Peppy said slyly.

" Oh…Okay. Fox nodded, until he finally came to the realization of what Peppy just said. "Wait a minute what are you gonna do with me and Krystal?" Fox asked as is green eyes widened.

" I'm sending you two on a vacation together, all alone. He stretched the all and slowed down the alone, which caused Fox to grow redder and redder. "The reservations are already made and your flight is booked." He said with pride. Peppy leaned over the hospital bed and started to dig through the nightstand drawer. He finally found what he was looking for and then handed Fox the brochure.

Fox looked it over and let a huge smile escape from his maw.

"Whoa thanks Peppy! Fox exclaimed, looking the brochure over. It was a five star hotel on Fortuna, that had a spa, workout room, beach, dancing, bar, horseback riding, pool, arcade, and its own restaurant. Plus an amazing amusement park was near by called Meteor Land.

His smile faded as the thoughts about telling Krystal about their little romantic get away.

"Shit Peppy, this is great! But how in the hell am I going to tell Krystal about this? I can't just say, hey Krystal do you wanna go on vacation alone together to a five star hotel on Fortuna? I'll sound like a complete idiot! She'll laugh at me for sure. Ugh!" Fox threw his arms up in grief and then buried his face in his hands and rested his elbows on his knees.

" No need to get your boxer shorts in a knot. Peppy chuckled. " I've already taken care of Krystal. She already knows about the trip."

Fox lifted his face out of hands and cracked a huge smile. "Oh my god! Thank you Peppy. I don't know how to ever repay you. Fox said gratefully, letting a sigh escape from his mouth.

" No problem Fox. I enjoy playing cupid!" The old hare laughed.

Fox laughed too. But stopped suddenly when he came to the conclusion that Peppy talked to Krystal alone….about him. " Wait, what did she say? How did she act when she found out? You didn't talk about me getting her pregnant did you?" What did you talk to her about? Fox said a mile a minute, with the same crimson red face he had 20 minutes ago.

The hare burst into laughter at Fox. "Its not funny Peppy!" Fox whimpered.

" I'm sorry Fox. Peppy chuckled. Okay question one. She said she was excited because it would allow her to get to know you better. Question 2.

She hugged me and squealed like a little schoolgirl that found out the cutest boy in class likes her. Question 3. No, I'm not that mean. Question 4. I talked to her about the time your swim trunks came off in the pool when you were 13 and I showed her the pictures of your first bath and the ones of you running around naked when you were just a small kit. Peppy said with sarcasm.

Fox didn't pick up on the sarcasm and his jaw dropped. Revealing his sharp white teeth. He continued to stare at Peppy in disbelief while Peppy slapped his forehead with his right paw in frustration." I was just kidding Fox. I didn't tell her or show her anything."

Fox let out a sigh of relief and opened his mouth to say something. But was cut off by the nurse.

" Visiting time is over. The young curvy bunny said.

Fox lifted himself from the metal chair and stretched a little before saying his final good byes. " Well thanks a lot Peppy…I hope you feel better. Fox said as he hugged him goodbye.

" Good luck my boy. And remember don't be coming around here with any babies. I didn't send you on vacation with her so you can knock her up."

Fox turned the same crimson red as he did several times during his visit with the old hare. And said, " I know, I won't, bye Peppy. He turned on his heals and headed for the white door and smiled at the pretty bunny on his way out.

Peppy laughed to himself as soon as the vulpine was out of sight. Fox and Krystal are going to like the little surprise I left for them at the hotel. He thought.
