For my sorta 10th aniversery fanfic. I do part two of my first fanfic (Episode 27) by doing an Episode 28 fanfic. (I am SO original)
Episode 28: Nothing lasts forever...
Chapter 1...
Jet scrolled through the list of bounties that were actually worth our precious time. The glow of the screen reflected into his stern face, giving him a blue shade. He looked throught the sob stories of hundreds of men and women, passing on the ones that were too risky, to small, or to stupid to go after. He was also careful that whoever he picked, to make sure they were on Mars. Considering it had only been a day since Spike's funeral, and everyone seemed to be in a deep funk, he was pretty sure no one was in the mood for a road trip. Besides, the Bebop still needed some repairs before it could be put to use again. One of those repairs was the heater. And since the heater was broken, yet again, everyone, even Ed, was on edge. Luckly Ed was sleeping. As for Faye, well, that's why Jet was in the living area looking through the bounties.
Jet kept clicking the scroll key, looking for something half decent, till he found something.
Arron Skides, on Mars, lots of leads, and a nice 10,000,000 million wulong reward.
"Looks like luck has finally shined upon us for once," Jet said out loud leaning back with a small, but noticable smile.
"What a second," he said, "since when has fortuned smiled upon us?"
His face shrunk back down to a frustrated scowl. He pulled a light pink rag from his pocket and rubbed it across the monitor. a couple of specks of dirt came off revealing a measly 1,000 wulong reward.
He sighed, "Well, easy come, easy go. At least we didn't go on another wild goose chase."
Faye shuffled her way into the room, acting like each time she moved her foot, it was the most painful experience possible. Her faced also showed her pain, a very tired face. Like she was ready to kill anything that got in her way, and wouldn't even crack a grin. You knew if you accidently pushed the wrong button, she would explode. Faye opened up the fridge and grabbed the first thing that looked like a drink. She quickly opened it and took a big gulp. Halfway down her throat, the emotionless expression on her face turned to a very disgusted face. She spit up the soda she had just swallowed, spraying it across the Bebop. Jet raised his face from the computer to reveal that half of his face was covered with the recently ejected soda. He groaned, but instead of yelling like his usual style, he calmly grabbed his pink hankercheif and started wiping his face off.
"What the hell is going on," Faye yelled, "Why is this damn soda so warm?"
"The fridge is probably broken, Faye," Jet replied, trying not to sound to harsh or annoyed.
"Broken? The piece of crap is broken???"
The button had been pushed...
"Of course its broken Jet, everything is broken. The Bebop is broken, the heater is broken, my redtail is trashed, my whole life is broken, isn't it Jet?"
Jet stood up from his seat in anger, "What do you want me to do Faye? Magically make everything better?"
"Well atleast fix this stupid piece of crap," Faye yelled kicking the fridge. She immedeately regretted it. She bounced back, grabbing her foot yelping out in pain.
Jet grinned and said, "You don't exactly have the Spike touch, do you?"
A sound of a piece of glass hitting something echoed through the Bebop.
Jet groaned, "Well, if it wasn't broken before, it sure is now."
He shuffled over to the fridge, and pulled it away from the wall to see what he could do, when a single bottle rolled out of the newly opened space.
Jet grabbed the bottle and held it up to his nose.
"Hmm... A bottle of Lao Shu, circa 2022, good year."
Faye walked over to Jet and said, "Were you holding out on me Jet?"
Jet looked at Faye with a shocked face and said, "I don't know where this came from.
Wait, I remeber, this was Spike's bottle."
"Hmm..." Faye said with a smile, "Well, since Spike is not here anymore, I guess that bottle would be mine."
Without another word she swipped the bottle from Jet's shocked hands, opened the bottle, and turned it compeletely upside down into her mouth. However, no drink came out. Only a key that bounced out of the bottle into Faye's gapping mouth. Faye immeadeatly dropped the bottle and clutched her throat. She punched herself in the stomach, ejecting the key from her throat, onto Jet's face. Jet groaned, grabbed the key off of his nose and pulled out his pink hankercheif again. As he was wiping off his face, he walked towards Spike's room.
End of Part 1...
Faye soon catched up to him saying, "I'm alive, just so you know."
"Good for you," Jet grumbled stuffing his hankercheif back into his pocket.
"I think I know what this key goes to, Faye. Spike has a small box with whatever valubles he has left."
"So were going to go through his stuff, Jet?"
"Were just going to see what Spike has been keeping from us. That's all. Sound good with you?"
"YES SIR!" said a voice from the ventalation. Jet looked up to see the tube vibrating. He opened up one of the gates, and a pile of flesh flopped to the ground. Ed stood up covered in soot from head to toe.
"Air conditioning fixed, good sir. Now let's see what secrets lie within 'THE BOX!!!"
Jet and Faye had gotten to used to the antics of their insane little crew member, so they kept on walking.
Jet opened the door to Spike's room. A familiar squeak gretted him at the entrance. He walked over to Spike's bed, and immeadeately grabbed the pillow. He stuck his hand in and pulled out a small, red, rectangular box along with a few feathers.
"Spike never was one for original hiding spaces," Jet said with a smirk.
Jet thrust the key into its lock, gave it a quick twist and flipped open the top. A piece of paper greeted him. He gave it a strange look. He picked up the paper and threw the box to a side. Ed grabbed the box in mid-air with her teeth and ran off with it. When Jet held the piece of paper up, it slowly folded its self down, revealing to be an extremely long list. Jet took a second to read through it, and was a little shocked.
"What is it Jet?" Faye asked.
"Its a will, Faye. Spike listed every person he wanted to give his stuff to."
"And?"
Jet showed her the list, it was completely crossed out. Mao, Anne, Lin, Vicious, Julia, his father, his mother, his grandfather, and a couple of other names that were also crossed out. There were only two names left that weren't crossed our. Jet and Shin. Jet grabbed the list back and pulled out a pen.
"I did a little check, the Shin guy is dead too."
"What did Spike leave me?" Faye asked.
Jet turned back to her with a grin and said, "You seem to be conspicously absent."
"What!?!" Faye said, violently grabbing the paper.
She quickly scanned through the list, crumpled it up, and threw it to the ground in anger. Ed bounded back into the room.
"Faye Faye! There something weird in the box Faye Faye!"
Jet picked up the piece of paper and uncrumpled it. He looked through the list again.
"Hey, for some reason he put a little squigley mark through the line on his fathers name. Hey Faye, you should have a look at this."
"Oh man," Faye said, hunched over the red box, "Jet you better have a look at this."
They turned around at the same time to face each other, Jet pointing at Spike's father's name, Faye showing what was at the bottom of the red box.
Jet dropped the paper and stared at a single rose in the box, completely colored in black and white...
End of Chapter 1...
