Star Fox: Changes of Love

Moving In, Part 3: Of Internships and Vacations

Meanwhile, at the ice cream parlor...

Sabre had finished telling his story to Miyu and Fay, who were really surprised by such an epic tale. Even though he heard the story before, Bill was still as amazed as the girls were. Since they've grown up in big cities, they never would've imagined what it felt like to live on a planet that was 100% nature. Just by listening to his story, Miyu and Fay thought about how difficult it was for Sabre to adapt to another environment. Even thinking about Krystal adapting to this life too, even though they never met her in person.

In Bill's point-of-view, he was able to see in part both Krystal and Sabre's adaptation to their new surroundings and how it will cost them to give up some of their old ways of living.

"But if I'm being honest with you," Sabre continued with explaining himself. "I've always liked trying new things, like this ice cream I'm about to eat."

Both the dogs and the Lynx all watched the brown wolf as he brought the ice cream to his mouth, slowly stuck out his tongue, and took his first lick of ice cream. It was really tasty, nothing like any other kinds of food he tasted in his younger years. The ice cream was sweet, creamy, and very flavorful. He started eating it in such a way like he was a child eating like a wild beast, even though he was 26 years old. Although the other three knew why he would eat his first ice cream like this, they didn't seem to mind one bit. Miyu even took out her phone and made a recording of Sabre's event, perhaps he would be wanting to remember this moment later on.

"So, what do you think?" Bill asked.

"It's the best thing I've ever tasted in my whole life!" Sabre replied in joy, and with some vanilla ice cream all over his face.

"I can see that," said Fay with a giggle. "Although I think you should clean yourself up."

"Yeah," Miyu laughed. "You've got ice cream all over your face."

Realizing that, the brown wolf took a napkin and wiped his face clean. After everyone else finished their ice creams and checking the time, it was time for them to part ways for a while. Fay and Miyu assured Sabre that they would see him again on his first day of work. Sabre waved back to the girls, anxious to see them again on Thursday.

...

Back with Fara and Dash...

Dash was amazed by all the places he'd seen. They also had several conversations along the way, but he refrained from talking about his past. Although Fox was open-minded when he found out, he was not sure if Fara would be scared when she'd find out that Andross's grandson was walking next to her and would call security on him.

At that moment, they both heard the sound of 5 ships that were about to land in some place nearby. Dash began to run towards the flying ships, thinking that one of those ships would be Fox's and if it was him, perhaps he would have the opportunity to get an answer about the internship. Fara was running after him, pleading him to wait up since she doesn't want him to get himself lost. When she could see the ships, the fennec fox recognized them...and the one that belonged to a certain someone who was his ex-boyfriend.

When the five occupants of the ship descended, they could see the five members of Star Fox. Including one they both know personally.

"Fox!" they both said at the same time.

That drew the attention of Fox, his team, and the two people that called out to him. Both were surprised that they both knew him.
