A Star-crossed Adventure

Chapter 6

In space, a large ship with a set of X-wings is seen flying; the ship has two cannons, which from the looks of it are the ship's only weapons.

On the bridge was the one and only Fox Mcloud.

Along with him was Slippy Frog, who was currently working on their robot friend Rob64, and Peppy Hare, who was currently working on star maps.

In the background, an antique jukebox was playing.

'Man, I'm wondering how long the Great Fox has left before she'll have to be dry docked?' Fox thought as the ship's wide PA system had broken last week.

"so Slippy "How is Rob coming along?" Peppy questioned.

"I'm done; that should be it." ROB. All fixed." the green toad said as he closed the robot's back.

Slippy backs up a little as Rob turns on.

Rob starts up as he stands up.

"Affirmative, I'll get back to work," Rob said as he tested his hand.

"hey, Fox! "Isn't this music getting on your nerves?" Peppy questioned.

"OK, old timer. Turn it down. Slippy!" Fox told his best friend.

Instead of getting up, Skippy simply tosses his wrench at the jukebox, causing it to mess up.

Both the buck and toad gave the toad the evil eye, and then the Great Fox's long-range communication system started to beep.

'Oh! Please don't let it be Fara or Lucy.' Fox thought as Peppy pushed the "answer" icon.

To Fox's relief, it was actually General Pepper.

'Thank you forces of the universe!' Fox thought.

"Slippy! It's General Pepper!" Fox said while he looked at the holographic head of the bloodhound general.

"General Pepper is here." "I have a new mission for you, Fox." General Pepper said.

"You are approaching Dinosaur Planet, an ancient world on the edge of the Lylat system." General Pepper told the team leader.

The hologram changes to show the planet in question.

"As you can see chunks of the planet are being tossed from its surface, it's your job to get them back." He said as the hologram switched back to him.

"It's your job to get them back!" If Dinosaur Planet explodes, it could affect the entire Lylat system! "The only lead we have is that you must locate the Queen of the EarthWalker Dinosaur Tribe; maybe she can help you further." General Pepper told the troop.

"By the way, your fee has been approved, and if you are successful, the money will be forwarded to you immediately." Pepper out." He said this before the hologram turned off.

'I better leave before-' Fox thought before another holographic image of a light purple furred rabbit with light pink hair that is in a short pixie crop popped up.

"Hello Fox," she said.

"Hey Lucy." Fox waved to his childhood friend and sweetheart.

"Forces of the universe, you can be real jerks at times," he thought.

"So far, Fox, no calls, no letters. I'm starting to think that you were avoiding me." Lucy said in mock hurt.

"No, I wasn't avoiding you, isn't that right, Slippy and Peppy?" Fox asked his teammates, but he didn't hear anything. Fox turned his head to look at the pair.

"Sorry, we're not in right now. Please leave a message." Slippy's and Peppy's voices were heard while they were not in the room.

'Traitors.' He thought.
