In the shoes of another (PG-13 for mild language)

[Fox_McCloud]

Chapter 1:

"Hey, Joey!" A boy of about 15 years of age looked up. "How ya doin' with your homework?" another kid asked. "Well," Joey said. "I'm almost done with it." "Good." said another. "Cause I forgot to do mine, so I gues you wouldn't mind if I took yours?" Joey did mind, but the kid was older and bigger than him, and if he argued, his parents would ask why he smelled like garbage for the third time that week. Joey sighed. He took out another paper and got to work on the asignment again. But the bell rang, and he had to get to class. "Whay don't you have your homework Joey?" the teacher asked. Joey decided that he should go ahead and tell the teacher the truth about why he was missing his homework. the teacher understood and talked to the other boy. Later that day after school, Joey was confronted by the boy and his friends. "Thanks to you," he said to joey, "I have a weeks worth of detentions!" "Well, I'm sorry." Joey responded. the other kidd pushed him. "Sorry doesnt cut it, ass hole! Your going to get it worse than the garbage this time!" Joey did not remember being hit so hard before. That night he went to bed thinking, "i wish there was a way i could learn to stand up to them." With that, he fell asleep. suddenly a violent shaking woke hm up. "What the hell?" he said. he looked around and did not recognize the room he was in. Then a door opened and a green figure steped through, "Come on Fox! Were being boarded!" Joey loked around and the last thing he saw before passing out, was that he was covered in fur, and had a tail.

This is fairly quick, but there are some good spots ("his parents would ask why he smelled like garbage for the third time that week" -- that's what we call showing, not telling). I think I can see where this is going already, though. Just please tell me your name isn't Joey.

Chapter 2:

"Oh my head" Joey moaned. someone laid their hand on him and said "Thank god your ok! You passed out a few hours ago." Joey did not recognize the voice, but said, "i had a terrible dream that i turned into some other creature." "well," the voice said, "Your back to normal now, as a fox." Joeys eyes shot open. "What?!" he yelled as he sprang up. he wished he haddn't, for what he saw mad he almost pass out again. he was looking a a blue fox. except that there was something familiar about this fox, like he had seen her somewhere before. "Are you ok fox?" asked the blue vixen. then Joey realized she was Krystal. And that he must be Fox. But that was not possible. Fox and Krystal were characters in a game. He decided that this was all just a major nightmare and that he would wake up soon. So he decided to go through with it. "Uh, yea. I'm fine." He said. Krystal smiled. "Good. Because i was worried that you wouldnt wake up." she said. "You have been out for several hours." then looking sad she said, "When we were boarded, the enemy overpowered us and kiddnaped Slippy and Falco. We know where they are though, because i managed to put a tracking device on their ship. They are on the planet Titania." "Who took them?" asked Joey. Krystal looked at him gravely, "It was Andrew."

Chapter 3:

"Oikonny?" Joey asked in surprise. "Yes." replied Krystal " they are being held inside a base on the planets surface. we are almost ther and then we can rescue them." she looked at the clock above the door. "Ill be right back." she said and left the room. Joe sat up. he pinched his arm. it hurt. So this was real. Unexplainable, but real. he did not know how to fly an arwing, did not know haow to fight, and did not know how he got there in the first place.

Later on, as they all went to the hanger bay, Joey wondered, "What happens if i die? Will i die in real life? Or will i wake up from a very realistic dream?" He climed into the cockpit of an arwing and the hatch closed. He and Krystal would be fying alone. Suddenly, he knew what to do. he hit the ignition and the craft hummed to life. the other arwing did the same. Then he realized what they were waiting for and knew what his job was. With his fears gone, he said only three words, "Lets go Krystal!"

As they approched the base, they encountered no enemy forces. "Thats odd" Krystal said over the radio. "Keep an eye out everyone." Joey said. "It might be an ambush." they landed on a open landing zone and got out. they carefully approched the door. suddenly it opened and 2 guards came out. "Well waht do we have here?" they said. before they could do anything, Joey and Krystal were pushed down and had their guns taken away. As they got up, the guards pointed their weapons at them and said you two are gonna come with us." Joey was tired. Not physicaly, but metaly. He was tired of being pushed around. Tired of not standing up for himself. tired of not doing something sooner. The next thing the guards knew, they were on the ground being pumbled by Joey. within seconds, the first was unconcious. The second was being taken care of by krystal. "Im fine!" she said go find Falco and Slippy!"

As he neared the end of a long hall way, he saw a door that said PRISONERS on the frame. he opened the door and a fist connected with his face. Oikonny stood above him looking down at Joey who was sporting a bloody nose. "You dont know how long ive wanted to do that." Oinkonny said. "Your friends will be returned, only if you can beat me!"
