Chapter 14: Something About Star Fox Adventures…I Think; Day 159

Fox was now landing on Sauria where he first met Krystal, being given his old uniform from the days of his first visit there may feel like it was not the place. “Are you sure Tricky is even going to recognize me?” Fox initially pondered. “I’m sure it’ll be alright,” Krystal replied, “Tricky’s not as likely to judge you.”

So while the passengers began going to the various tourist locations, Fox went off the beaten path to find an old friend of his… “Still a prince, huh Tricky?” Fox asked as he greeted his old friend and gave him a hug. “FOooooox!” Tricky shot back playfully as the friends reunited. “It’s good to see you! How long has it been?” Fox chuckled, “Too long.”

Tricky offered to take Fox over to the Welcoming Dinner the Earthwalkers had prepared for him in honor of his actions, however Tricky’s method of carrying Fox on his back like he’d previously done was clearly backfiring after the first half hour, and Tricky’s realization that Fox was MUCH heavier than before, and his gut was even spilling over the Triceratops head. The exhaustion eventually lead Tricky snapping at him, asking for the Obese Fox to walk. Normally such a request would be respected, but Tricky was never the most civil when asking from others made Fox respond with petty insults, leaving the final leg of the journey filled with childish banter between the two.

The only relief to this frustration was when they FINALLY got to the Earthwalker village though Tricky was displeased to hear from his now elderly father “It’s been a while since you had such a workout, my son.” Fox tried to shoot back triumphantly, saying “See? Maybe carrying my fat ass did you some good!”

Later that night, Fox was treated to a special Welcoming Dinner as a Guest of Honor for the Dinosaurs of the planet. Fox’s welcoming luckily brought Tricky and Fox back together as friends though Fox wondered how the Earthwalkers even knew to prepare such a welcoming feast that would have been impossible for him to finish at the start of his voyage. While Tricky on the other hand….. was hoping he could find SOMEONE ELSE to carry Fox back, ESPECIALLY if he was in a hurry.
