Foxete's POV:

It's been a week since we crash landed on this planet. We lost most of our crew. Only the following remain;
Illoha
Keori
Keeva
Kip
Dex
Malra
Icey
Damien
Lexi
Jake
GlubGlub
Kat
Arie
Ophelia
And Puppet.

    Yep, we lost so many, but we still have the annoying poltergeist. To be fair, he's only tried to help us so far. Apparently, Dex and Malra had trackers and Bonnie chose not to tell us. He, of course, didn't have a tracker on him, but Dex says that Bonnie watched as Dex got a tracker implanted in his neck. We had to remove and destroy them as fast as possible. Thankfully, Illoha, Dex, Malra, and I are the only ones who got physically injured. Everyone thinks that I'm going to be their official captain now that Bonnie is... gone.
    Tally is going to give us a ride to Enolva, Dex's planet. They're the only ones who can help us now. We should be going any day now. I'm still trying to process what happened. Keori has not stopped crying because of Foxy. Everyone keeps asking me what we should do, but I have no idea. I sit down on one of the benches in the town. A small boy comes up to me and speaks in Animalian, the planet's language.
"Hi! My name Ruon. Do you have any money that I could use for food?" He says.
I smile and reply.
"Hi Ruon, I'm Foxete. I only have credits do you guys use that here?" I ask.
"What are credits?" He asks.
    I take out small silver coins from my bag. I only have about 2,000 credits which equals 200 dollars. I give him 50 credits. Every 10 credits technically equal $5. 50 credits is plenty to buy food here.
"That should cover some food." I smile.
"Thank you!" He grins and runs off to the bakery.
    I walk to the small house Dex rented for all of us. Keori, Keeva, and Kip and sitting on the couch listening to the radio, Malra and Dex are talking in the kitchen. Dex has been really sad since he found out Tim died. I don't blame him, I liked Tim, he was really nice.
The others must be out around the town.
I go into the bathroom and sigh as I look into the mirror.
I look worse than I did before.
Keeva gets up off the couch and walks to the doorway.
"You okay?" She asks.
"Oh, yeah I'm fine." I smile.
"You sure, Captain?" She sighs.
I frown and turn back to the mirror, "You cut Keori's hair, right?"
"Yeah? Why?" Keeva smiles.
"My hair has gotten way too long for my liking, so could you help me cut it? It's past my waist." I laugh.
"I agree. I was seriously considering just cutting it myself." She chuckles, "Stay here, I'll go grab the scissors."

Illoha's POV:

I walk into our little house. Foxete is teaching Keori, Damien, and Icey how to play cards. I walk over and notice that her hair is way shorter.
"Did you cut your hair?" I ask, sitting down next to her, looking at her hair. It used to be past her waist, but now it's a bit past her shoulders.
"Actually, Keeva did." Fox smiles.
"Is Keeva a hairdresser now?" Keori laughs.
"Apparently I am!" Keeva laughs from the kitchen.
"Back to the cards, do you understand the game?" Fox asks.
"I suppose so?" Icey looks at Keori.
"Enough." Keori laughs.
It's nice to see spirits are high despite our major setback.
"Alright, I'm gonna go on a walk, okay?" Fox stands up and grabs my hand, "I'm taking Illoha, bye!"
"That's pretty obvious!" Dex calls after her.
We close the door behind us.

Foxete's POV:

"How's Animales been treating you?" I ask Illoha.

"Weird glances every once and awhile, but I think it's common knowledge here that Illoha Shayma disagrees with the whole 'slavery' thing." She sighs.
    I look around. Animales was insanely pretty. It was warm with a light cool breeze, it has a pink, star filled, sky. The planet has 3 visible moons. The town were staying at, Saatons, was truly amazing. The people here are so nice, it's cozy and calm. Every since Keekos fell last year everything changed here. It became calmer and nicer. Illoha says that Animales used to be stressful and an awful place to be.
I walk with Illoha over to an ocean and sit down.
"Why are we here?" Illoha asks.
"It's peaceful." I sigh as she sits down next to me.
"It is." She smiles, resting her head on my shoulder.
"I want to stay here forever." I say to her in Evonian.
"When did you learn Evonian?" She responds.
"I started to learn it when I first met you." I smile and switch back to English, "I learned more when we were on Keekos as well."
"You're amazing." She smiles, "I wish we could stay here forever too."
"Freddy would find us." I sigh.
"He would, he would find us. That's why we have to fight, so when we win, we come back here and stay here forever." Illoha smiles.
"Deal." I lie down and stare at the sky.
Illoha does the same.
"We'll avenge them, right?" I ask.
"We'll try." Illoha grabs my hand.
"That's all we can do." I smile.
