Author's warning. This fic contains spoilers from the last episode (hence the name of the chapter). If you doNOT want to know what happens, then I'd advise you read something else...Thank you and enjoy.

She stood there, staring at the place where he last stood, not knowing if she'd ever see him again. She doubted it. How did she know? Faye wondered. It was irritating her that Julia knew about Faye. Faye thought back. She had been careful to conceal her identity from the other bounties because of fear that people she owed a debt too would hunt her down that way. Bounty hunting was risky business. Faye sighed. What did she mean by there?

Faye walked to the weapon room and stared at the cup on the counter. The weapon room was the first place she found Spike when she returned from her little trip on Earth. That trip was a total waste of time. Not only did they lose a bounty, but she caused Ed, their genius hacker, to leave. She was positive that Spike and Jet weren't happy about that. The only positive thing that came out of it was two less mouths to feed. Ein was so attached to Ed that he left with her.

When she saw Spike, standing there, she didn't know whether it'd be good to tell him or not. The name Julia still sparked a high interest in him, and she may have been selfish to think so, but she didn't want him to go. Just as she was deciding to tell him, he noticed her and asked himself.

"And it was all thanks to you." she said bitterly to the cup that was sitting on the table. He had so many tricks. It was probably why he was such a great and feared bounty hunter. Even if they never got the big bounties. Spike also knew Faye better than she knew herself. She hated it. And yet, like a faithful dog, she always came back. Ever since day one. She didn't know why. She just knew that she hated it. They both knew it. But, only one of them knew why she always came back, and it sure wasn't her.

She angrily grabbed the cup and was on the brink of throwing it when she stopped. Faye stood there and stared at the lip, the last place where his lips were. She drank the rest of the contents quickly, allowing the cool liquid to slide down her throat. Faye sighed. "A kiss that was never meant to be. If you can call it a kiss..."

She carefully set the cup back down on the small table. Silently, she cursed herself for having the people follow her back to the Bebop. Dragging herself out of the room, where she could still feel his presence, she went to her room. By the time she reached her bed, she truly felt her true age. After all, she wasn't a twenty three year old anymore. No, that was eons ago. She was truly seventy seven with a twenty three year old's body.

She flopped down onto her sheetless bed. It was funny to her how her perception of bed differed from the rest of the crew. The bed in here was basically a bunk that were in campers. The bed she longed for was only a thing from her memories. The full size bed with pink sheets and many fluffy pillows. Sighing, she closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

The sudden sound of the hatch being opened woke her. With a sense of excitement, she immediately thought of Spike. Wanting to surprise him, she stealthily crept to the hangar. Once there, she only spotted her aircraft. The Hammerhead was gone. She forgot all about it, and now, her only chance of leaving was...gone. She was isolated, stranded. A small warm tear slid down her face and fell by her foot. She was still that loyal dog, but now her master was gone and there was no way of getting to him.

It felt like a dream. Everything. Julia was by his side again. There was no Jet, no Bebop, no bounties, and definitely no Faye. No one but her. And then, in what seemed like eternity, she...died. His Julia. His dream was gone, and he had to awake into the nightmare known as reality.

He didn't know what to do now. He felt lost. And then anger consumed his soul. There was nothing he wanted now except revenge. His past needed to be settled now. Spike left Julia, he was positive that someone would find her body and prepare a nice funeral for her. To get revenge, he needed as much ammunition as possible. All of his ammo was at the one place he wanted to forget. The Bebop.

She heard the hangar open. Jet was back, but she didn't want to get into another argument. Not now. Life was getting crazier by the minute, and with an argument, she felt like she would explode. She closed her eyes to stop the oncoming headache, and as she did, she fell into another dreamless slumber.

The hangar opened again, waking her. It seemed every time she fell asleep she could hear that hangar open.

"Deja vu." she whispered in the empty room without thinking. It took a moment for her to register the thought into her brain. "Spike..." and as she said his name, her heart it seemed, skipped a beat. The smell of bell peppers started to waft into her room.

Faye quietly crept down toward the main room. She stopped when she heard Spike and Jet laugh. Confused and overwhelmed with curiosity, Faye decided to stay and listen intently.

The laughing soon stopped, and she heard Spike's footsteps coming closer.

"Spike. Can I ask you one thing?" Jet asked.

Spike stopped. "What?"

"Is it for the woman?"

There was a few minutes of silence. And then, "There's nothing I can do for a dead woman." Had she heard him right? Julia was dead? If she really was, Faye was not going to let him go and kill himself. That's when she realized the cool metal in her hands. Surprised, she looked down and noticed her gun. I must have picked it up when I got up...she thought. Looking in the room again, she decided to hide in the shadows and waited.

His footsteps started up again. Spike knew he'd have to face Faye. He knew she was close by because he heard her quiet footsteps coming up to the room. Yet, he was a bit surprised when she put her gun to his head.

Her voice was shaky when she spoke, "Where are you going? Why are you going? You told me once...that the past didn't matter...You're the one who's tied to their past!" She looked up at him, with pleading eye, trying to make him stay.

Spike leaned down and stared straight into her eyes. Her beat faster. This wasn't like him at all.

"Look at these eyes. One of them is a fake, because I lost it in an accident. Since then, I've been seeing the past in one eye, and the present in the other. I had believed that what I saw was not all of reality."

Faye now spoke. Her voice was trembling from fear that this was the end. "Don't tell me things like that! You never told me anything about yourself! Don't tell me stuff like that now!"

"I thought I was watching a dream that I would never awaken from. Before I knew it, the dream was all over." He straightened up and started walking away. But Faye knew that if she didn't make him understand how much she cared for him, she wouldn't be able to live with herself. Why was he really going to kill himself, anyway?

"My...memory came back." He stopped, forcing himself to listen. No, he didn't have to force himself to listen. Her voice was enough to make him stop no matter what. "But...nothing good came out of it. There was no place for me to return to...This was the only place I could go back to! But now...Where are you going! Why do you have to go! Are you telling me you're going to just throw your life away!"

The words stung him. He quickly deciphered the words true meaning: 'Are you telling me you don't want to be with me? Because, I love you Spike!' He sighed. This hurt him more than what he thought it would. "I'm not going to die. I'm going to see if I really am alive." With that, he departed.

Faye watched. No, if he wanted to die, she'd kill him herself. She started to fire her gun, but her arm shook violently, making it impossible to aim. Spike knew it himself, and just kept on walking like nobody was shooting at him. She stopped and started to cry.

A/N: Ok, how did you like the chapter? Yes, this is basically a huge recap of the last episode, but I hope the stuff I added seemed right. This is my first time writing a Cowboy Bebop fic, so I hope it's worthy amongst the other Cowboy Bebop fics out there! Please, review!
