No Sugar, Just Spice
A/N: This story is supposed to be the sequel to "The Contract", but since no one is reading it ('cause I don't have any reviews for it) I took it off (but I'm still continuing to type the final drafts of them all). So in general this story is the sequel to a story that no one has read. If I get enough demands for "The Contract" I'll put it back, but for right now this will be a story itself. Also, this story takes place two years after "The Contract". And, all non-Bebop characters are mine.
Insanity Knocks or Trouble Begins.
Spike incased his head with cold towels in desperate hopes to calm the throbbing hangover he had received from that drinking contest with Jet last night. Other than that it was a nice day on Saturn with the seagulls flying around the ship and the rest of the crew out shopping. Suddenly a sharp pain surged through Spike's head, he unwrapped the towels and heard the sound that caused the pain. A really loud pound on the door.
/Whoever is behind that door will die!/
He grabbed his loaded gun and swaggered to the door. Aiming the gun, Spike opened the door and fired.
'You missed!' a small childlike voice screamed out, ' If you're planning to kill me aim a little lower!'
Spike's eyes drifted down and landed upon a silver haired, crimson-eyed two-year-old girl standing only 2ft 6in tall. Her only possession with her was a familiar brown satchel. Before Spike could apologize or even ask a question, the girl slipped through his legs and headed towards the "living room" of the Bebop.
'And just where do you think you're going?' Spike asked while chasing the small but swift little girl.
'To sit down and then find a suitable room for me,' she responded.
'Just who do you think you are?' Spike questioned picking up the girl and marching back to the door.
'Your daughter,' she said and was immediately dropped on her head by a shocked Spike.
'H-h-how could that be?' Spike wondered out loud.
'When Madison left with Julien, she was unknowingly pregnant with me,' she answered massaging her head.
/Madison. I haven't heard her name in a long time./
'So then why are you here?' Spike questioned again.
'Always with the questions, eh?' she asked standing up, 'Well, Maman wanted you to endure me for a while.'
'Spike! How are you feeling?' Jet's voice yelled out in the hall.
'He's shocked but doing okay!' she answered for Spike.
Jet, Faye, Ed and Ein hurried down the hall to see the person who said that. When they entered the "living room" they saw something they thought they never see, a little girl next to Spike.
'What's with the kid?' Faye asked sharply.
'What's with the whore?' she responded with the same tone.
'Why you little-' Faye began but was restrained by Jet.
' Ed has a new playmate!' Ed said while hugging the kid.
In the midst of this commotion Spike was trying to grasp the fact that he was a father. His brain couldn't take it so he passed out.
//////////////////////////////////
A few weeks later when everything is settled down and Spike has taken to the role of fatherhood like a fish to land. We now see father and daughter debating on a situation.
'I still don't get why I'm not allowed to set off small explosives inside the Bebop!' Ruri yelled out.
'Ruri, this is insane. NOTHING so idiotic is allowed in the Bebop!' Spike screamed out in an attempt to get that through his daughter's head.
'HA! What about the time you filled the tub with decomposing fish parts, or slid about on sticks of butter, or-' Ruri started to argue but was cut off.
'Ruri! YOU did those things!' Spike interrupted.
'So admit stupid things ARE done on the Bebop!' Ruri pointed out.
'Excuse me while I ignore you,' Spike said picking up a magazine.
'Hey Spike! Oh.wait.you're excused,' Ruri said then left to find someone else.
Ruri wandered into Jet's room and saw him busy with his favorite bonsai.
'Hey, Jet. What are you doing?' Ruri asked sitting right next to him.
'Not now Ruri I'm working,' Jet answered.
'On what?'
'Why don't you bother Spike?'
'I excused him.'
Jet smirked at Spike's cleverness and then handed Ruri a science magazine.
'Go do one of these tests and show it to Faye.'
Ruri grabbed the magazine and headed over to Faye's room.
'Hey, Faye. Jet wanted me to do one of these tests, do you have a pencil?'
Faye tossed her a pencil.
'Just stay out of my hair, kid.'
'Who would want to be in your hair? It's all greasy and it smells bad,' Ruri muttered to herself as she left.
Ruri found a nice spot near the front of the Bebop to do an intelligence test. She read and answered away and was on a roll when Ed and Ein came along.
'What is Ruri doing?' she asked putting her niece in her lap.
Ein lied down near them and became a footstool for both, but he didn't care.
'I am doing an intelligence test, so I can prove once and for all that I am the smartest girl in the universe!' Ruri stated unaware of Ed's rolled eyes.
Jet came in the "living room" and sat down near Spike.
'You know leaving Ruri alone to wander about the Bebop isn't such a good idea,' Jet said matter-of-factly.
'Oh shit!' Spike exclaimed while dashing up to seek Ruri.
Soon he found Ruri sitting on Ed's lap scribbling some stuff on a magazine.
'What are you two doing?' Spike asked in hopes it doesn't involve the ISSP.
'I took an intelligence test in Jet's science magazine and I'm counting up my points,' Ruri stated proudly.
' Ed is being a good aunt by watching her,' Ed said.
'Okay. One.um.one. Now to look it up on the chart. "One to fifty: You are an imbecile." That's insane. I'm not an imbecile, and I don't even know what that is,' Ruri said puzzled.
'Touché' both Ed and Spike said.
After Spike explained what an imbecile is and Jet's magazine reduced to shreds, the four walked to the kitchen. Ruri asked what was being cooked.
'I'm cooking veggie loaf for everyone,' Jet answered proudly.
'Veggie loaf, but I wanted eel! I hate vegitles' Ruri yelled.
'You eat any plant that you can get your hands on,' Faye reminded Ruri.
'Technically I'm just chewing them and spitting them out,' Ruri responded.
'There's a whole other problem,' Spike said.
'Oh. It's almost time for "Bigshot",' Jet said when he looked at his watch.
Everyone left except little Ruri.
Fifteen minutes later Ruri walked in looking smug.
'I told you not to make veggie loaf and you shouldn't have left it on the counter, because I ate it all! I ate it so none of you could have it and it was disgusting! I ate it oregano and all!' Ruri yelled out in triumph.
'The veggie loaf is in the oven. What you ate was Ed's bean sprout. Dirt and all,' Jet corrected.
'Well, that makes sense,' Ruri said.
'Aw. And the bean sprout just sprouted,' Ed whined.
'Ruri, why don't you make some friends?' Faye suggested.
Suddenly, Ruri ran to her closet turned room.
How will Ruri make new friends? Find out in chapter two.
