Summary: Faye moves out of the Bebop. She moves into an old broken down house and fixes it up using the money that she has, suprisingly, saved over the years from her bounty heads. She helps take in children off the street and teach them to take care of themselves and make something out of themselves. One day when she is coming home from grocery shopping she runs across someone she never expected. . . This is a Spike/Faye fic in case you are wondering.

Ok well it turned out that I found out exactly why everyone was saying that my first chapter was so freaking short and I think I'm going to kill my computer, oh wait I already have, crap. _ Well I'm reposting the first chapter so PLEASE take a look at it, I think that it would clear a lot up.

Ch 1

***** "Faye! Spike! Get down here! Ed has found the next bounty and it's a big one!" Jet called to the living room. Faye walked into the living room followed closely by Spike. Faye sat down on the couch and Spike passed by her without so much as looking at her and sat down in the chair. "Ok well guys, this guy is sick. He has attacked and killed several women and even young girls."

"Attack? Do you mean rape?" Spike asked.

"Yeah pretty much, well there isn't much information on this guy but we do have a picture and his name. I will use my connections with the ISSP to try to get some more but right now this is a good as it is going to get."

"That's great Jet, now can we please see it?" Faye said with extreme frustration.

"Well Jet let's see it." Spike said trying to look over Jet's shoulder.

"Here." He handed the photo to Spike and sat down on the couch next to Faye.

"Jet, what's the deal? I asked for it first!"

"Faye there is no force in heaven or the planets that could make me let you go."

"What's that sobost to mean?" She asked VERY mad right now.

"It means that you aren't going on this trip, it is too dangerous for you to go. I don't want to put you at this risk."

"Jet, I have done missions like this before and I'm going to do it now! There is no reason why I can't go now."

"Faye this guy has had several of the universe's best bounty hunter's on his tale, when they get to close to him he either kills them on the spot, or if they're a woman, he has killed them wile raping them."

"I'm not like all of those other ditzy girls Jet and you know it!"

"Faye, you're not going!" He looked at Spike for support.

"Faye, Jet's right, and besides you would only be holding me back."

"HOLDING YOU BACK? HOLDING YOU BACK?! I'll have you know Spike Spiegel that I have saved your life more times than you can count."

"Oh yeah? When?"

"Like when . . . um . . . uh . . . Ok so I can't think of the times at this moment but I will sooner or later!"

"Listen Faye, I don't want to have to force you to stay, but I'm afraid that I might have to."

"Oh yeah? Well what are you going to do about it? Lock me in my room? You know that that won't hold me for more then five minuets, the time that it will take me to hot-wire the door."

"I'm quite aware of that."

"Good so I guess that I'll be going then." She started to walk out of the living room and into the hanger when Spike grabbed her hands and spun her around so her back was against his chest and he was holding her in one of his viceroy grips.

"Now Faye, as I was saying, I'm quite aware that you can just hot-wire the do again but I never said that I was going to do that. Jet get the cuffs." Jet nodded and went toward the back of the ship. "I'm sorry that I have to do this to you but it is way to dangerous for you to be going and I don't want you to get hurt." Spike's eyes widened when he heard what he had just said. 'Did I really just say that to Faye? The shrew? Poker Alice? Man I must be going insane!' He thought.

Faye struggled as much as she could to try to get out of this grip but her constant kicking and shaking didn't even phase Spike. "Spike if you don't let me go right now you will be in a lot of pain!"

"Alright." He lifted her off the ground by her wrist and dropped her just in time for Jet to come in with the cuffs. Spike rushed to grab her wrists again because she was crawling away. He pulled her back toward the raining to the stairs and held her hands in place above her head. Jet assisted him in getting them on and then they backed away from her screaming and yelling. She really was loud when she wanted to be.

"Spike, I'm not sure that you should just leave her like this. I mean she looks pretty ticked off right now. What happens when she pulls one of her Houdinis and she's in this mood?"

"Well I'm sorry partner, but that is your problem, not mine." With that said he walked out of the living room and into the hanger.

*****

Spike was flying along when he realized, 'Hey Jet's right, what if she does pull something and manages to get out? I had better call Jet and have him confiscate her keys to her Redtail.' He thought as he pushed the button for the communicator. "Hey Jet, you there? Listen I need you to go into Faye's room and get her keys to her Redtail. And also she keeps some on the left-hand side of her seat, get those too. Make sure there is no was she can get out! It is to dangerous for her." He waited a moment and then called for him again.

The communicator crackled and Faye's voice came over the line, "I'm sorry but Jet isn't available at this moment in time, please leave a message after your blessing out." Spike didn't catch the next part to this because she was screaming so fast and so loud but on his end it sounded a little like this, "Spike you **** I can **** do whatever **** I **** want **** to **** **** **** **** **** I ****Hate **** You **** you ****!"

*****

Faye turned off the communicator with a satisfying click and walked past Jet who was screaming at her now in her place in the handcuffs. (a/n: lol, her Houdini) She went into her room and pulled her old suitcase out of her closet.

When she had finished packing all of her things into her suitcase she walked past Jet, who was still screaming and into the hanger. Just then Ed Vroomed in, "Faye-Faye, what are you doing with that suitcase?" She asked looking at it cocking her head a little reminding Faye of a bird.

"Um Ed, I'm um going on a little trip and I will be gone for a wile because I need a break. I have to go. Bye Edward." She waved her hand like nothing had happened and left the hanger flying toward Mars.

*****

Spike heard Faye click the communicator off and he thought to himself, 'Oh man. She would try to go after the bounty head and then who knows what will happen to her, she is to proud and haughty to ask us for help after we make her so freaking mad. I had better hurry up and get back to the hanger and talk some scene into her before it is to late. Knowing Faye, it already is too late.' He quickly turned his ship around and urged it back toward the Bebop.

Just then he heard the communicator cackle, "Bye." Was all that was said by Faye's voice and then it clicked off.
