It was just another normal day on the Bebop. Spike was napping, Jet was repairing, Faye was complaining, Ein was sitting on Ed's head, the latter typing away at her computer while babbling happily.

And then Ed went quiet. Spike cracked one eye open curiously, Faye looked over, Ein looked down, and Jet poked his head in. Ed seemed for all the world to be in deep concentration—or, at least, so they assumed, as she had her goggles on so it was a bit harder to tell—as she stared at her computer, leaning in slightly.

"…What is it, Ed?" Faye asked hesitantly. By this point all three adults were behind the girl, trying to figure out what was so intense that it had rendered their hacker silent. The girl turned to look at them…

KA-CHHT!

Snot and saliva flew, splattering all three of their faces. Ed giggled hysterically, back to her old self once more. More than a little grossed out, Faye, Jet, and Spike resumed their previous activities, each wiping their face with a murmur of "gesundheit" while silently hoping they don't get sick from it.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Sometimes, inspiration comes in weird ways. I was watching Cowboy Bebop and sneezed. Seriously, that's what happened.

Well, it's better than no inspiration at all, as far as I'm concerned. :) Cheers!
