Chapter 1: Rewinding to Remember.

The wait was what really got him. She had a huge bounty on her head, yet he was having trouble turning her in. The innocence, peace, love. What ever happen to all of that? He changed her. It was all his fault.

"Yo, Spike. You decided yet?" Jets voice seemed to enter Spikes head. "Spike!"

"Huh? What? Oh, its you. Yah, what do you want?" Spike asked, but he was really cursing at himself for doing it again.

'Damn it. I need to stop getting lost in my thoughts. One of these days Im gonna forget what's reality.' He thought.

"The girl. Raine. What are we gonna do? I say we turn her in. I can't even begin to tell you how much money is in this bust. Over 700 million wulongs, I believe!" Informed an eager Jet.

"Don't you think I know that already. Come on. Its not easy turning in an old friend you know. Think about it. If it were you stuck in my shoes, you'd be doing just what I am."

"Yah, yah. But thankfully I cant fit in your shoes. You better make your decision fast. Were almost to Venus.

"Sure thing." Spike lit another cigarette.

His smoking habit had gotten worse when he found out about Raine.

Spike sighed, emitting a cloud of smoke. He leaned his head on his other hand and closed his eyes, remembering.

"SPIKE!"

"Look at what you did now. You woke the screaming banshee." Jet said to Spike who was busy reading some old magazine.

"I don't know what your talking about. I've been here the whole time." He denied.

"Spike! You fucker! You stole my cigarettes! Give them back now!" Faye demanded as she stormed into the living room area.

"Huh? Haven't you ever heard of pajamas?" Spike asked seeing Faye in a small tank-top and her underwear. "And I don't have your cigarettes. You probably smoked them all. You really should cut down."

Faye clinched her fist in frustration. "I don't know why I bother staying here with all of you thieves!"

"So leave than." Suggested Jet as he stood in the kitchen door way.

"Maybe I will, once we get to Mars that is." Faye stomped off into her room, completely ignoring Spikes smart ass remarks.

"I think we did it. Go lucky us." Jet said when Faye was out of site.

"We should celebrate." Spike throw down the magazine, and stood up.

The whole crew had been sitting around doing nothing for the past month and they all couldn't wait to get on solid ground, even if it was The Red Planet.

Spike entered the cock-pit just in time to see Jet get off the phone with the landing crew.

"So? Is it bad news or good? You only spoke to them for 2 seconds."

"Good news. We'll be landing soon. And hopefully be getting rid of that annoyance back there." Jet said referring to Faye.

Spike turned and traced the up coming planet with is eyes. Something there was calling to him. Something he had forgotten.

'Vicious?' Spike thought.

Not wanting to bother with the pondering process he walked back into the living area and sat down. Waiting was something he didn't favor.
