Summary:

Tony and Howard go on a camping trip. He encounters a fox while hunting, a very mystical fox at that.

" Do we have to do this dad? I thought we were camping?"

" We are camping, Tony. Part of camping is hunting for food."

" Sooo why are carrying rifles instead of fishing poles?"

" Look son, you wanted to go camping practically begged me. I wanted to do my hunting. It's called compromising. Now remember what I taught and just don't get hurt."

Tony frowned as his dad walked away rifle in hand leaving his son alone in the woods. Dumb camping trip. Tony grumbled putting the rifle strap around his shoulder. He didn't want to hunt animals for food or sport. Tony just wanted spend time with his dad and even he couldn't do that right. Alas, Tony wasn't gonna let that spoil his fun. He had to make every second count because he knew Howard hated the outdoors. Tony decided to take a hike and admire nature itself. As he walked he smiled seeing squirrels and birds do what they do best. Tony stopped seeing a fox. Expect the fox was moving funny, almost like it was stuck. Carefully, Tony walked closer and gasped at what he saw. The poor fox's paw got caught in bear trap and was struggling.

" Oh shit-SORRY- um w-what do I do?"

Tony panicked looking around. He couldn't just call find his dad because Howard would definitely kill the fox. But Tony couldn't just leave it there either. The fox whimpered making Tony cling to his rifle. " Oh! Okay hang on buddy I'll get you out!" Tony held the rifle just how his dad taught him. He focused it on the trap itself making sure it wouldn't hurt the fox. " T-this is gonna sound loud, I'm sorry!" Tony pulled the trigger which fired a loud bang scary away birds. Tony's ears were ringing it took hima moment to collect himself. Opening one eye he saw the trapped was damaged. Quickly he rushed over to pull the trap apart and the fox got up limping away.

" Y-Your welcome!....be safe..."

The fox stopped as it's ears perked up. It's fur began to glow becoming bright like sunlight. Tony shield his eyes using his arm as the light got brighter. Sensing it was gone, Tony looked up and feel on the grass yelping. There was a man standing in front of him. Tall, salt n pepper hair, a beard, blue-green eyes, wearing a blue outfit with a red cape. The most bizarre part was that the man had fox ears and fox tail. Tony eyes widen realizing it was the same fox due to the man's bleeding hand.

" Thank you young man." The stranger replied warmly, he bent down to shake Tony's hand. " Um don't mention it.." Tony answered still shocked. The man chuckled helping the boy up.

" What are you...?"

" A Kitsune, a magical fox. You can call me Stephen."

" *giggles* A magical fox name Stephen?"

Stephen arched his eyebrow and Tony covered his mouth. " S-sorry! I'm Tony!" Tony apologized sticking out his hand. Stephen smiled using his none-injurie hand to shake Tony's. " Well Tony I'm grateful for you helping me. So I'll give you one wish." Stephen explained, Tony eyes light up at the offer.

" I can wish for anything!?"

" You may, whatever you want just name it."

Tony bounced becoming very excited. A millions things ran into his mind on what he could wish for. " Tony where are you!?" The two looked up hearing the distant voice. Dad!? Tony looked at Stephen watching his ears twitching at the sound. Ah if my dad finds him he'll- A lightbulb went off in Tony's head and he smiled. " Mr.Stephen I know what I want to wish for." Stephen got up but Tony gestured him to come close. Stephen leaned in so the boy can whisper in his ear.

" Is that what you wish for?"

" Yup. I'm sure."

" So be in then. Thank you again, Tony. Enjoy your wish."

Tony snapped his finger and gust of leaves circled them. The leaves fell leaving Tony alone, Stephen was gone. " Tony! Oh thank god you're okay!" Howard rushed towards his son pulling him into a tight hug. " D-dad you're crushing me,," Tony grunted finding it hard to breath. " Sorry kid. I heard gunfire-you're not hurt are you?" Howard asked concerned, Tony shook his head. " Thought I saw something but guess I missed, I'm sorry." Tony mumbled and noticed the bear trap was gone. " Don't be kid, listen I'm sorry trying ruin your fun. Let's just head back to camp and make smores.

" Howard offered taking the rifle away from Tony. " Really!? Oh can we roast those hot dogs mom packed too?"

" Sure Tony! Tomorrow we'll go fishing sounds good?"

" Hell yeah!"

" Hey that's mom's word only she can use that! Now come on let's head back to camp!"

Howard bent down to allow Tony to ride his back. Once secure he stood up giving Tony a bigger view of their surroundings. Off in the distance he say Stephen waving at him. Tony waved back grinning.
