Chapter "x" - Days of Rain by
Vargas Millia
[ Midna in Distress ]
In the middle of the night, the wind began to blow Fortuna. The last leaves of the trees withered and fell off his strength to travel miles down the wide plain, and the dry grasslands, which were shaken in unison along the meadow, seemed like a great yellow sea.
Heaven, then cleared and covered in stars, began to be covered with black clouds that darkened further Fortuna dark night sky.
The temperature dropped, and small nocturnal creatures and insects that lived in the tall grass, hid in their burrows. The first drops of rain began to fall, soaking the dry but fertile soil of the field. The pastures started drinking every last drop was offered them, and pools of water began to form quickly, the sound of water filling the prairie life, indicating the start of a new and wet season on the planet.
Inside the cabin was quiet, only felt the sound of rain and wind, creaking wood to shrink from the cold and the windows shook in response to the whipping wind.
"The house is talking about," Peppy said, his voice no more than a slight murmur. To say that the houses occasionally spoke, telling stories of days gone by, was a common belief in which he grew up.
Fox nodded.
Peppy and he were the only ones awake in the cabin. They were sitting shoulder to shoulder in the wooden floor of the room, while Falco and Slippy slept soundly in their beds. It was a little cold, but that was not what Fox kept awake.
"You do not have to stay awake, I am who can not fall asleep," Fox said after a while. I was tired, but her mind would not stop tormenting him. After the heroic feat MacBeth squad along with Bill, Andross was behind his very same lines, and was not to prove unfazed liquidate his interest soon.
Peppy
not answer was obvious and natural for him to accompany his friend no matter the circumstances. Although simply accompany him with their silence, stay awake the whole night beside her was not a sacrifice.
"This place ..." Fox began, knowing that Peppy was listening intently. "It's a good place, eh, Peppy?" whispered into the air. I was not sure if you asked the question to Peppy or himself.
For a moment, the question took Peppy by surprise, but soon realized that Fox was talking about. He had apparently underestimated the affection that their leader was the daughter of the late tycoon.
"I do not want to happen a event like the GreatFox again, Peppy.
"It's a good place," Peppy said wisely, nodding his head slightly. "Nothing bad could happen. Nothing Andross want here ... But us four. "
Fox smiled for a moment, full confidence in the observations of his second father." He let a small laugh out of her mouth, while with both hands, said the head, scratching behind the ears tightly. The was nervous.
"Part of me does not want to leave this place, Peppy." confessed hopeless, knowing that this would be an impossible wish to fulfill.
"Then we must go on Right now, do not you think? "Peppy said standing up. Fox knew from before he was born, and did not need to think twice to realize he was screaming for help. I needed that little push to decide when want to do two things at once. And in this case, it was clear that they should end the source of the problem before it was too late. Andross find them sooner or later.
"Yes .." said Fox, standing up. "... You should say goodbye before "
Peppy sat smiling and nodding his head, was a sign that Fox hoped to leave the room and go to the room where she was.
The door was open. Carefully and without causing any noise, Fox approached the bed of the woman who swore to protect. Slowly he knelt beside his bed, just to watch her sleep, fascinated by the rise and fall of his chest when breathing. Occasionally, one of his big ears to her face stirred sleep product.
was not sure if talking would provide some comfort to be, but do not lose anything.
"I'm not sure if I beat my father, Fara. But my team will beat Andross, and come back for you. I promise," he muttered. It was a solemn pledge that he was willing to meet to finish.
A smile was drawn on her face when she got a little hum in response.
Standing, Fara Fox pinned to his coat. That layer had been wearing torn from the day the exile of Corneria. This layer gave warmth during the cold desert nights, the same as that protected him from the sun during the hot days. I could not have survived without it.
"Ve .." Fara murmured dreamily, taking by surprise Fox. It was as if he were unconsciously aware of the situation.
"back for this too. So do not miss," he said, smiling sadly, and withdrew from the room with the same silence.
When he returned to his room, Peppy was sitting on the floor, fast asleep. With some regret, because in part it was because he had not slept at all Peppy overnight, gently shook him awake. "It's time to go, Peppy"
"I know, boy," said half asleep. I was surprised to see Fox without his coat, but decided not to talk about it and stood up. "Falco is yours. You know how I'm too old to deal with that pile of rearing pens," Peppy said in jest, still somewhat asleep.
"need not, old man," Falco snarled from his bed.
"Falco?" Fox muttered in surprise. "Were you awake all this time?"
"With you two talking all the time, I still have not woken up wondering how the rest of the house," said Falco as he rose from the bed, looking for his pants.
"Do not exaggerate, Falco. Slippy is still sleeping," Peppy replied with a smile on his face. Slippy The little laughter told him he was wrong. "" Slippy?! Fox, we were not talking too loudly, do you? "
"Not really," said Slippy. And was dressed and was ready to put his cap. "But I could not sleep if any of my colleagues in problems, "he continued, displaying a wide smile toward
Fox Falco Slippy looked askance and hissed.
" Brave boy, "can be a little more sentimental?".
"Falco!" replied Peppy and Slippy the same time.
"That's not us," cried Slippy, blushing. "What you did for me in Zoness, I would do the same for you. Because we are a team. "No?". Slippy watched them all in search of an answer. Peppy placed one of his hands on his shoulder and squeezed slightly as a sign of support. Falco said nothing, but for all, that was as good as a yes .
watched Fox
his three companions, puzzled. See them all three together, ready to fight him, to never leave or leave on their own. They were a team, a great team. The three of them returned the smile to your face, and helped him make his decision. Andross would show he will not be an easy prey to hunt.
"Boys," Fox said, standing up, "we have a universe to save."
"Yes!" Slippy said enthusiastically.
"Now, that's how I like it," Falco place, carrying his blaster and saving it to your belt.
"He was bored with this planet."
"Finally he go?" someone said behind Fox, who turned around surprised to see the owner of the voice.
"Professor Krause," Peppy said. Falco apparently was right, they had awakened the entire house. "Sorry, we did not want". "
"No problem, Mr. Hare. She was not sleeping," interrupted the teacher with a gentle smile. "I can not deny that Dr. Andross has been one of my main concerns since the first attack."
"Sorry," he reiterated Peppy.
"There is something I would like to teach. Please follow me." Said Professor disappearing through the door. Starfox members were quick to obey, did not want something intrigued lose track.
teacher did not know too much, but all had something in common, none worked for any government.
The professor smiled in his direction. "I worked alongside the best scientists and engineers. We developed the Arwings, the improved, perfected. I'm sure it can not be in better hands than those of you four. I very much regret the loss of you. Peppy, Fox .. have had a better model before James would probably ... "
"He is alive." Fox said sharply, giving back to the teacher and retired in that direction, followed by his teammates. "We must leave."
"John, please, goodbye to our guests," said the professor, as the white cat went behind their backs, take them all by surprise.
"Yes" he replied, as with firm steps went to the door.
"Please follow me," she said, her voice sounded distant, but beyond that, there was nothing in it that does not seem to John that made it Zoness.
Once outside, rain greeted them. The musty smell invaded his nostrils and the wind ruffled their fur. The cold was not long in coming.
high level in the dry grassland were in line, to head was the little cat, followed by four silhouettes almost indescribable because of the layers that flying into the wind.
was inevitable, but that was the life of the exiles: Running for everybody all the time.
At least now the government was supporting them Corneria.

The sound of rain falling outside awoke to rain. It was early and still had a dream, the conversation last night left a lot of time thinking about before falling asleep.
His insides rang. Decided to get up once and for all and go for breakfast. When you get out of bed, felt something sliding down his shoulder gently, was Fox's mantle
Fara gasped, his fingers through every one of his ragged folds.
"There are"
