Chapter 10

Krystal's eyes fluttered open to a bright sunny day and a snoring McCloud. She smiled to herself as she listened to Fox's snoring which she found incredibly cute. The blue vixen glanced over at the digital alarm clock which flashed in red numbers 10:50 AM.

"Time to wake Foxy up." Krystal whispered and ended in a stifled giggle.

She put one leg over his side and sat on his lower abdomen. Krystal bent down placing a gentle kiss on the side of his muzzle. A low pitched growl came from his throat. He subconsciously placed his arms on her shoulders and brought her chest to his. Fox rubbed his cheek against hers still purring from his throat. McCloud then licked the side of her muzzle and her cheek. He continued to hug her tightly after showing his animalistic love. Krystal giggled at the sleeping fox and decided to wake him up with a little surprise. She simply filled the small gap between their lips. Krystal kissed him passionately exploring McCloud's mouth with her tongue. Fox's eyes snapped open in surprise to find his lover laying on top of him playing tonsil hockey. And pretty soon he was kissing back just as hard. Krystal pulled away with a smack.

"So, I guess this makes you my new alarm clock huh?" Fox smirked.

"Mmmhmm." Krystal replied with a smirk of her own.

"I'm not sure which I like better. An obnoxious beeping noise that never stops or a beautiful vixen kissing me. I'll have to think about that one for a while." Fox sarcastically said while scratching his chin.

"Let me know when you decide honey." Krystal said grinning widely.

"Will do." Fox laughed with another smirk. "What time is it?" McCloud yawned as he rubbed his eyes trying to get rid of what ever sleep was left in them.

"Ummm about 11." Krystal said resting her head under his chin.

"Oh crap! It's that late already?" Fox sputtered.

Fox slipped out from under Krystal and entered the bathroom. The cold white tiles felt nice against his bare feet. He turned on the sink, letting the water run for a few seconds. McCloud cupped his hands watching the water fill up in his palms. He splashed the cool clear water against his face washing every trace of sleepiness away. The female of the couple walked in the bathroom and handed McCloud a fluffy towel to wipe his handsome face dry. Krystal brushed her hip against Fox's pushing him aside so she could look in the mirror. When she saw her reflection she cringed. Her hair was going in all directions from the sweat caused by her nightmare, what was left of her make up was smudged, and her white facial fur was tear stained.

"Ugh I look like a sea creature off of Aquas." Krystal groaned taking a comb trying to untangle the knots in her hair.

Fox smiled at the now insecure female. McCloud came up behind her, wrapping his arms her waist, nibbling her neck, and rocking her back and forth.

"I think you absolutely beautiful." Fox cooed.

"Oh please." Krystal said as she rolled her eyes.

"No seriously. You look stunning." Fox replied giving her a quick kiss on the cheek before releasing her from his embrace.

"Stunningly ugly." Krystal finished. "But thanks for the compliment. Even though it's BS."

McCloud laughed quietly to himself at the vixen's stubbornness. Fox brushed his teeth, put on deodorant, and combed out his fur in a matter of minutes while Krystal still was trying to comb out her unruly hair.

Fox walked out of bathroom and got dressed. He put on pair of blue jeans, a green t-shirt, and his white vest that he wore on Sauria and plopped down on the couch to watch some TV.

A half an hour later Krystal finally emerged from the bathroom looking more gorgeous than ever. Her fur was combed, her teeth were brushed, her face was washed, and her make up was done.

They talked about how they were going to spend their day and they both decided on going to the beach. The couple gathered everything they would need for the beach and headed out the door. They made their way down the elegant halls to the busy lobby in a matter of minutes. Fox and Krystal exited the lobby to be bathed in golden sunlight. The beach was within walking distance of the hotel, so they walked hand in hand to their destination.

The beach was absolutely breath taking. The sand was as white and silky as the clouds in the clear blue sky. The ocean was so blue and pure. Waves crashed against the sand, moving in and out, creating a soothing song that danced through their velvet ears. A few sea gulls soared through across the horizon and a cool breeze caressed their faces gently. Kids ran around playing games and building sandcastles adding life to the relaxing scenery. There were food stands, ice cream stands, a restaurant, gift shops on a pier near by. And there was a changing station with showers to their right.

"Wow its beautiful." Krystal said in awe.

"It sure is." Fox replied just as taken back from the scenery as Krystal.

Fox and Krystal headed straight to the changing rooms. Krystal went into the woman's one while Fox went in the men's.

In a few minutes they both exited the medium sized building and met up with each other face to face. Fox practically had to swallow a gallon of spit when he saw Krystal's apparel. She was wearing a skimpy revealing black bikini. On her top there was one sequin heart on each cup. The strings tried around her neck and her back. Her bottom was plain black and tied at her curvy hips. The blackness of her swim suit made her fur seem more blue and alluring to Fox. Fox was wearing blue swim trunks with a white stripe on the ends of each pants leg.

Fox's mouth dropped wide open as she took a couple steps towards him, swaying her hips from side to side. But he shut his mouth quickly not wanting to come off as rude.

"Ready to hit the beach?" Fox asked, and to his embarrassment his voice cracked mid sentence due to his now raging hormones.

"You bet!" Krystal giggled like an excited small kit. She grabbed his paw, pulling him towards the beach. They held paws and walked onto the beach. The soft grainy sand felt comforting and warm on their feet.

"Where do you want to set up?" Fox asked looking around the large shore.

"How about over there." Krystal said with a tinge of excitement, while pointing at a spot that was far away from the swarms of people at the beach.

"Perfect!" Fox exclaimed.

The couple walked over to the less occupied part of the beach. Fox set down the bag full of' things they needed and the two umbrellas they brought. They spread out two white towels on the sand which were put together to make one giant towel. Fox mounted one umbrella to provide shade for the couple. Krystal laid down on her towel and assumed the classic model position. She had her paw moving up and down her thigh, while her other paw supported her head.

"Foxy come over here and keep me company." Krystal smiled sexily.

Fox let his eyes wander from her small delicate feet up to the tips of her ears. He got shivers up his spine from that drop dead sexy pose. McCloud joined Krystal on the towels. They soaked up the golden sunlight, taking time to fully relax.

"Man, you have no idea how much I needed this vacation." Fox sighed while putting his paws behind his head. "The last time I went on vacation was...9 years ago."

"Nine years!" Krystal exclaimed. Her eyes shot open looking at Fox with amazement.

"Yup. The team and I went on a vacation to Katina after the second Lylat War. But it was not even as close to as nice as this. And it was only for three days." Fox said with slight distaste at the memory.

"Wow. So being on vacation must be like heaven on Corneria." Krystal said.

"Yup. No fighting, no responsibilities, no training, no maintaining the ship, no demands, nothing. Just me and you." Fox smiled closing his eyes.

They shared a sweet kiss and pulled away quickly not wanting to do too much in public.

A small fox kit who had a toy shovel in his paw ran by McCloud and Krystal giggling and laughing. Krystal's face softened as she looked at the adorable two year old child. She had always wanted kits, but didn't have anyone to have them with, until now. She had a feeling that her and Fox would get married and start a family somewhere down the road. Krystal lost count of how many times she dreamed about having Fox's babies. She pictured herself holding one infant kit and Fox rocking the other softly in his arms. One male with Fox's fur and one female with her fur. That was her dream. To build a family and continue the Cerinian blood line with the vulpine of her dreams, Fox McCloud.

"Isn't he adorable." Krystal said dreamily.

"Who the kid? Yeah he's cute." Fox agreed already starting to day dream of becoming a dad one day. He would give his left arm to have kids with Krystal and start a family, but he didn't want to push his luck just yet.

"Would you ever let your kids become pilots?" Krystal asked out of curiosity trying to gain knowledge about Fox's feelings on the subject.

"Yeah, if that's what little Edmund wanted to do." Fox said with confidence.

"Wait. Wait you would name a kid Edmund! Edmund?" Krystal asked in almost disgust.

"Sure. Edmund is a great Cornerian name. You got a better name?" Fox questioned challenging her.

"I sure do!" Krystal exclaimed. She sat up, brought her legs to her chest, looked at Fox, and answered, "Moon."

"Moon? No son of mine is going to be named after a big rock in the sky." Fox shook his head while he sat up also. "You might as well name him Asteroid." Fox laughed.

"C'mon Moon is an excellent name." Krystal shoved him playfully. "Besides, I'm the mother and I think Moon is a cute name." Krystal said defiantly.

"Yeah, well, I'm the father. Just cause your having him doesn't make him all yours. I helped." Fox retorted in a snappy tone.

Fox just realized what had came out of his mouth. What the hell are you saying? You don't have a kit on the way. Krystal isn't pregnant with your kid you dumbass! What the hell were you thinking? Do u realize what you just said? His mind screamed.

He was so humiliated. But at the same time filled with joy that Krystal had not slapped him in disgust at the thought of having children together.

"Uhh Krystal. Since when do we have a kit?" Fox asked nervously.

Krystal's eyes widened as she too, realized what they were arguing about.

"Oh God I'm embarrassed." Fox chuckled awkwardly.

"Me too." Krystal bashfully replied. She looked away from Fox and stared out to the ocean. The wind blew causing the beads in her hair to sway back and forth.

"Let's wait until we're dating for at least 1 month before we start naming our future kits." McCloud laughed looking at the white sand in embarrassment.

"Okay." Krystal nodded, with a quick laugh. He pulled her into a warm hug. Fox's eyes snapped open during the embrace as an idea plopped into his head. He pulled his head lightly backward, so they were face to face. He looked deep into her sparkling eyes and asked, "What about James?"

Krystal closed her eyes with a gentle smile. "James," She whispered lovingly. Krystal opened her eyes looking deep into his. "What a beautiful name."

The ends of McCloud's lips curled into a giant smile. "And if it's a girl?"

Krystal threw back her head in thought and raised it again before responding, "Rose." she answered, hoping Fox would like it.

"James and Rose." Fox grinned. "They go together nicely don't you think?"

"Mmmhmm." Krystal agreed. Her heart was in her throat and she felt like she was walking on air. Fox implied he wanted to have kits with her one day! Nothing could have made her happier.

Fox brought her paw to his lips and then patted it gently.

"Enough of this baby talk. Let's hit the water!" Fox said in a cheerful voice.

He rose from the towel and helped her up. Fox cracked a goofy grin and ran for the water with Krystal trailing not far behind. McCloud stopped when he reached the shore, waiting for his lovely companion to catch up. Once Krystal reached the glittering water, Fox came up behind and scooped her up in his powerful arms. And waded out to sea.

The cold salty water cooled Fox's body the moment he made stepped into the waves. It felt incredibly refreshing after baking in the sun for that long.

"Fox! Put me down!" Krystal commanded with a giggle. She shifted a little in his arms which was silenced with a kiss.

"Kissing doesn't solve everything you know." Krystal playfully scolded as she stroked his cheek.

"I know. But it helps." McCloud retorted with a chuckle.

A powerful wave crashed into his toned body, but because of Fox's strength he didn't even flinch. Krystal however, let out a big yelp as the frigid water splashed against her once dry and heated chest.

"That was a big one!" Fox whooped as he walked farther out to sea.

The water was now far past his six pack and Krystal was still partially dry since she was propped up in the orange furred vulpines cradle.

"Preparing to submerge." Fox called out grinning evilly at his vixen.

"No, Fox. Don't. Don't!" Krystal pleaded.

Fox ignored Krystal's cries and took a deep breath, while Krystal did the same, preparing to be dunked into the cold blue ocean. He jumped up and came down into the water in a sitting position. Krystal yelped at the last second before her whole body was submerged under water. She kicked away from Fox and immediately surfaced gasping for air while shaking head trying to get her hair out of her face. The blue vixen rubbed her eyes and was waiting for Fox to come up. Eventually he did. Fox had this mischievous grin painted across his face, giving her a look that said, "You didn't think I was gonna do that did you?"

"That felt good." Krystal smirked. "But not as good as this!"

"Huh?" Fox said in confusion as Krystal came up behind him.

She jumped up, placed her paws on his shoulders, and let her weight dunk the unsuspecting fox into the water. Krystal applied the pressure on his shoulders for a few more seconds wanting to make him pay for playing that trick on her. Krystal stopped pushing on his shoulders and regained her footing. But to her surprise Fox's head came up between her long legs. She gasped in shock as she realized she was being lifted up onto his shoulders. Fox grabbed her ankles and held them against his chest to make sure she didn't fall. Krystal cupped her paws under his chin for balance and they both laughed together.

Fox twirled Krystal around a couple times, before raising his arms up above his head. He placed his paws under her arm pits, lifted her off his shoulders, over his head, and back into the water with a splash and a grunt.

"Truce?" Fox laughed, holding out his paw for Krystal to shake it.

"Truce." Krystal confirmed with a giggle. She grabbed his paw and instead of shaking, she yanked it. Pulling his body close to hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her legs around his waist, and kissed him deeply. Fox held her up by her thighs, lifting her out of the water. They stayed in this position for a good 5 minutes letting their tongues explore every inch of the others mouth.

Fox pulled away from the kiss looking deeply into Krystal's love filled eyes. Her eyes were so lovely. Her mouth was so sweet. And her heart was so pure and full of kindness. Fox loved her more than anything else in the world. He burned for her kiss, her touch, her love. Fox wanted to continue to kiss her passionately, but there was no where they could go to get the privacy they desired. He looked at the beach and an idea struck him. Fox hadn't used that trick since he was a teenager.

"Lets head back to shore, I've got an idea." Fox said eagerly.

Fox waded through the crashing waves holding Krystal's paw, for he didn't want her to get swept away in the under toe.

They walked back to their spot and Krystal sat down on her towel watching Fox set up the umbrellas. Fox gripped the umbrella and pulled it out of the sand. He moved it to the right and pushed it deep into the sand. He took the other one and did the same, but mounted it on the left, so the edges of the two immensely large umbrellas met.

This created a private little dome that kept out prying eyes. Fox slipped in to meet Krystal who had her legs curled up and her wet tail swaying from side to side. Krystal looked around inspecting the little hut Fox made. He sat down anxiously beside her not able to contain his excitement. The vulpine was so stimulated by her kiss in the water he couldn't wait to get his paws on the woman he loved.

"Why did you make this...dome?" Krystal asked totally puzzled.

"So, we can do this." Fox said, with eager splashed though out his voice.

Fox kissed her with vigor, allowing his feverish tongue to explore her mouth entirely. Krystal was enthralled by Fox's kiss and touch. It literally took her breath away. She placed a paw on the side of his neck stroking it with intense passion. Fox carefully moved his paws to her vivacious hips, rubbing them in sensual desire. The pair started breathing heavily as their kissing became more and more heated. McCloud slowly started guiding Krystal onto her back still kissing her with same level of intensity. Fox parted his legs putting his weight on his knees and arms which were both planted firmly on the ground. Krystal moved her paws from his neck down to McCloud's muscular chest. She massaged his upper body with her loving paws. They both panted heavily in between deep, long kisses giving the other a chance to breath. Krystal slid her paws down his chest to his six pack. She glided her fingers slowly across his wash board abs. A deep throaty purr of pleasure emitted from his throat. She wrapped her arms around his back and her legs around his waist. Krystal clung her soft body to his like a drowning sailor clings to a piece of floating wood. The vixen stayed in that position for at least a minute, kissing and licking his neck and chest. Each warm kiss or lick she planted on his chest made his muscles quiver and tingle with excitement.

He held her up with little effort, but soon his arms started to feel a little tired, so he simply flopped onto his back leaving Krystal on top. They went back to making out while Fox rubbed her sides passionately. McCloud's wandering paws eventually found their way to her heaving and some what sweaty chest. Fox burned for her body. He felt her up outside of her top and now it was Krystal's turn to gasp in pleasure. She tilted her head back, her eyes lids dropping slightly, and let out a soft moan.

Neither Fox nor Krystal knew how long they were under the umbrellas, but they personally, didn't give a damn. After a while of having Krystal on top of him, they went back to their original position. Not soon after that, a ray of sunlight shone inside their love nest and Fox felt something cold and sticky plop onto his back. McCloud's left eye snapped open, looking up at the intruder and he stopped kissing his lover immediately now knowing someone was watching.

The one standing above them was an 8 year old bear. His fur was a dark brown and his belly stuck out over his swim shorts considerably. He was quite chubby and had a ring of vanilla ice cream trailed around his grinning mouth. The cub was holding the ice cream in one paw and the tip of their umbrella with the other. Fox then knew what had fallen onto him. He felt around his back to find a glob of sticky creamy vanilla ice cream stuck to his fur. McCloud grabbed the single scoop of ice cream with a, "Yuek!" and let it drip onto the sand.

By now both Fox and Krystal had gotten off of each other and were now sitting side by side on the towel looking at the plump young cub. Luckily when the cub caught them, the only thing they were doing was kissing softly giving them time to catch their breath.

"Ooh you two were kissing!" The bear squealed. He took another giant lick of his ice cream.

Both foxes glowed a deep crimson red.

The cub pointed to Fox, "Your gonna get cooties!" he said in a mocking tone.

Fox simply chuckled after he found the words to speak. "In a couple of years your gonna be kissing girls and your gonna like it." McCloud said as he crossed his arms.

"YUCK! No way, girls are gross." He replied as his face cringed.

"Ok, whatever kid, now get lost before I make my girlfriend give you," Fox smiled evilly and slowly finished, pronouncing each word with care, "A big wet kiss on the LIPS!"

Krystal added to this affect by puckering her lips up and making kissing noises. The cub's face portrayed a look of pure horror.

The cub ran away as fast as his little legs could carry him screaming, "Ewwww!" at the top of his lungs.

Fox and Krystal broke into a fit of laughter falling back onto the towels holding their sides. Once their laughter calmed down, Fox fixed the umbrellas, so they were enclosed in their little hut once again.

"He's gonna regret rejecting that kiss when he's older." Fox chuckled.

Krystal brought a paw to mouth and giggled. She wrapped her tail around his sending tingles up Fox's spine.

"We better cool it. We already got caught by tubby." Fox said grimly.

"Yeah your right." Krystal answered. Her ears drooped in disappointment and her tail left his, swaying slowly from side to side gloomily.

They looked at each other for a split second and at the exact same time, tackled each other, mashing their muzzles together initiating another make out session.

Fox and Krystal spent the day doing varies beach activities. Such as swimming, sun bathing, eating, playing frisbee, building a sand castle, and many others things. And before they knew it, the sun was setting.

The beach was having a firework show at night and Krystal couldn't have been more excited. The sun had set and the sky was dark blue with twinkling stars. The couple sat on their towels patiently waiting for the show to start.

"Have you ever seen fireworks Krys?" Fox asked wrapping his arm around her. His soft touch warmed her body and she snuggled closer to him.

"No, I haven't actually. I can't wait for it to start." Krystal replied.

Fox smiled at Krystal the way he would smile at an innocent young child. Krystal rested her head against his chest letting her mind wonder deep into thought.

"Fox?" Krystal looked up at him.

"Yeah Krys?"

"There's something I need to ask you." Krystal swallowed slightly before finishing. "Why did it take you so long to... you know...make a move?" The female of the pair asked.

Fox's eyes widened and he swore his heart skipped a beat.

"Well..." Fox started looking a the ground trying to recollect his thoughts.

"Did it have something to do with me? Did I do something wrong?" Krystal wondered aloud placing a paw to her chest.

"No, Krys. You didn't have anything to do with it. It's actually because I was.." Fox began while shaking his head.

"Because you were..." Krystal beckoned, trying to get him to finish.

"Because I was...because I was scared. I was afraid of rejection, alright. And I hate to admit it cause it sounds so wussy." Fox cringed rubbing the back of his neck.

"I mean, I'm supposed to be the brave team leader and the strong tough guy and I'm admitting I was scared to make a move on you. Hehe." Fox looked at the ground for a moment, but then back to Krystal.

"But the thing is, I have never ever felt this strongly about anyone in my whole life and being rejected like that would have hurt too much...I'm absolutely crazy...head over heals...so deep I can't get out... in love with you it's not even funny." Fox explained as a lump began to form in his throat.

Krystal's eyes took on a distant gaze like they had when she first saw Fox on Sauria. Her stomach was filled to the top with butterflies. Tears started to flow down her cheeks.

"Oh Fox..." Krystal reached out to him and to Fox's surprise she enveloped him in a warm embrace. She closed her eyes, squeezing him tightly, not wanting to let go. Fox hugged her back just as tightly. Neither of them wanted this precious moment to end. It seemed as though nothing existed outside their embrace. As if everything just disappeared. Fox stroked her back while Krystal buried her face into his neck.

"I never knew you felt that way." Krystal said.

Their love was pure and true. That was evident now. They were meant to be. They were soul mates. They were destined to be together. Fox knew it and Krystal knew it.

"Krystal have you ever thought about how much of a fairy tale couple we are?" Fox grinned as he continued to hold her. She rubbed her face against his sighing gently.

"What do you mean?" Krystal asked as she pulled her face far away enough to gaze into his eyes.

"Well think about it. You were searching the Lylat for answers and were drawn to a mysterious planet. Then you were captured being reduced to a damsel in distress, right?" Fox questioned.

"Right..." Krystal said uncertainly.

"Then I get a mission to save the planet to discover a gorgeous vixen around my age needs my help. I save your life and then you join the team. We have similar pasts and go together like Slippy and a cheese stake hoagie. I mean how common is that?" Fox finished.

"Now that I think of it, we are like something out of a fairy tale. Your my knight in green flying pants armor." Krystal joked as she nuzzled up close to him.

"Haha yeah right." Fox smirked.

"No really. I really consider you as my hero." Krystal said in a serious tone, so McCloud would know she wasn't joking.

"Hehe. Thanks Krys. I'm really flattered." Fox replied in total disbelief.

"Do you think that were…" Krystal said looking at the ground, but then back at Fox before they both said in union. "Soul mates."

"Wow." Fox chuckled.

"That was weird." Krystal giggled.

"It sure was. Hell I guess that proves it huh?" McCloud joked.

"Yeah." Krystal laughed. "No, but seriously do you think we are?" Krystal questioned.

Fox blushed a little before answering, "Yeah I actually do. What about you?"

"Yup. I think it was destiny. Fate brought us together. Don't you agree?" Krystal asked hoping for McCloud to feel the same.

"I definitely agree. Like I said before it was like something out of a fairy tale. You know those shitty stories for little kids. It was like I was the handsome hero and you were the beautiful damsel in distress. Except you can actually fight unlike the barbies in the stories." Fox said.

"Being a damsel in distress really sucked though." Krystal crossed her arms. "Although...in some cases it would be kinda fun." She said seductively totally changing the subject.

"Uhhh, what?" Fox replied utterly confused.

"Well..." Krystal rested her head on his shoulder and whispered sexily in his ear, "I wouldn't mind being your prisoner Fox McCloud."

Fox's face was immediately filled with a slight red color. His temperature rose and it looked like you could fry a piece of meat on his cheeks. She knew exactly what to say to fully embarrass him or trigger his stuttering.

"I..uhh...wow..." Fox stuttered rubbing the back of his neck.

Krystal giggled and kissed him tenderly nibbling on his upper lip. "And I'm not kidding either Foxy. I meant every word."

Krystal then read his mind for the fun of it. And this is what she got, Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! WHOA! Holy shit. Holy SHIT...Think of something to say you jackass. No wait. Don't. You'll just make an ass of yourself. But OHMYGOD that's just...wow…

She had to use every ounce of self control to keep herself from cracking up.

"I..uhh. I'm gonna go get my t-shirt in case you get cold." Fox rose from the towel quickly and waddled awkwardly towards the changing station. Krystal smirked and started laughing hysterically when she saw him punch himself in the nuts on purpose to counter what she had just said.

Fox returned with his green shirt handing it to Krystal. "You look like you were getting cold." He said worriedly.

"Thank you. Your a real sweet heart you know that?" Krystal said pulling the shirt on as a cool breeze swept across the shore. The shirt went down to her mid thigh because she was a little bit shorter than Fox, and also because she didn't have big broad shoulders like he does.

Fox spread his legs a little wrapping his arms around her slender waist pulling her body to his. Krystal filled that empty gap between his legs. McCloud then placed his arms around her arms, resting his paws on her tummy. She leaned against his powerful body using it as a chair and a pillow at the same time. His soft fur warmed her not only her body, but her heart as well.

When she was close to him as she was now, her heart soared and she felt like she was one with him. She was in total peace when in his arms. She felt safe, protected, invincible, loved, and so many other emotions she couldn't explain. It was like walking on air. Fox felt similar when he could feel her heart beating against his chest, her soft breath, and her gentle touch. He felt complete. Ever since his father died, Fox felt like a part of him was missing. And she filled that empty void. Fox did the same for Krystal. She needed him and he needed her. It was so easy to see.

Fox wrapped a fuzzy blanket around them. It went around his neck and back like a cape. The edges of the warm cloth met around Krystal's curled up legs. Fox's head stuck out and there was a gap where Krystal's head poked out resting under Fox's chin.

The first fire work shot up into the pitch black abyss. It exploded flooding the sky with miraculous blue lights spitting in all directions. To Krystal it was one of the most beautiful things she had ever seen. Her mouth hung open and her ears twitched from the beautiful view

"It's..its amazing." Krystal said in awe gazing up at the now lit up sky. The first blue fire work quickly started to dissolve and fade away into the sky following with loud popping noises that filled the beach.

"It's only the beginning Krys. Wait until it really gets started." Fox said smiling happily at the amused vixen.

Three more fireworks traveled up into the atmosphere. One red, one purple, and the other rainbow. Each exploded, painting the sky with their magnificent color. Ending with the same crackling boom. A giant pink, orange, and yellow one sky rocketed into the heavens starting as a small light slowly growing into a massive glow. Several pinkish lines shot out expanding into the classic firework. Dozens and dozens of fireworks continued to decorate the sky with their rich color. It was a sight like no other. They came and dissolved in a blink of an eye. Some made shapes and symbols while others were simply the classic firework. But one definitely caught Krystal's attention.

The sky lacked fireworks and the air was silent. Everyone thought the show had ended except a certain legendary mercenary. Until one, lone firework broke the silence and valiantly ran up to combat the emptiness of the sky. It slowly exploded, creating an enormous bright red heart that filled the entire sky. It read in the middle in sparkling white letters F & K FOREVER. Krystal's breath got caught in her throat and she brought a paw to cover her open mouth as she looked up at the symbolic firework. The heart remained in the sky for several seconds until it finally started to wash away sluggishly with several booms.

Delicate tears had already started to well in her sapphire eyes. She turned around in his toasty lap to clasp her arms around his neck. Krystal looked deep into his eyes waiting for him to kiss her. Fox kissed her romantically as the heart finally washed away. With tears streaming out the corners of her eyes Krystal kissed him back pouring every once of love that dwelled within her. A thunderous applause swept across the crystal clear ocean and the silky white sand. It was as if the applause was for the kissing couple instead of the fireworks. But Fox and Krystal didn't hear one clap. They were too busy expressing their love for the other in their lip locked passion. The couple kissed under the twinkling stars focusing on the only thing that mattered at the moment; their love for each other.
