Title: Blues Traveler
Rating: PG-13
Summary: I'm pretty much changing everything that happened after "Hard Luck Woman", including that Ed never left. Faye returns and has changed; Vicious comes back with planes of his own.
Author's not: This is my first Bebop fic, so be kind, all right? I really liked this idea when it first came to me and it wouldn't leave, so here we are.

Faye walked down the halls of the Bebop towered her room. She was tiered. It had been a long few weeks. Two week, in fact, since she had been on the Bebop. She was sure she wasn't missed, though. Who'd miss a girl like her?
"Look whose back." Came a smug voice from the shadows beside her. She stiffened a little.
*** Session One:
Theater Blues
***
She looked over and Saw Spike standing next to her, a frown on his face. They stood there staring at each other for a long time before he finally broke the silence. "Where have you been, Faye?" He asked, coldly.
She looked down at the floor. "Like you care." She snapped back. She wasn't ready to deal with him. She wanted to go to bed. She wanted to forget about life. She wanted to get away from Spike, and she wanted to do it soon. So, she began to walk back down the hall towered her room.
"Think you can just show up and act like you never left?" Spike yelled from behind her she stopped and heard his footsteps as he walked over to her. "You're right, I don't care were you went, but I do care that you think that you can just come and go as you please."
She felt the tears falling down her cheeks. She quickly wiped them away and turned to face Spike again. "You said once that I shouldn't live in the past." She said, softly. "Well, what if you found your past, and found that going back to that wasn't even an option? What if everything you loved. everyone you loved as gone, dead? And you were alone, with no one but people who hated you. How would you feel, Spike?" The last part was yelled.
He looked at her, his head tilted to one side. "What did you find out?" He asked.
Faye bit her lips and turned away from him. "I found out I was alone. I am always going to be alone." With this, she walked down the hall. "I'm going to bed now." She called back. She made it to her room and fell on the bed just as the tears came. "I'm alone." She whispered.
***
"She just showed up again." Spike told Jet over breakfast. "Like she never left at all. Can you believe that girl?"
"That girl's nothing but trouble." Jet said, nodding. "Were is she, anyway? I thought the smell of food dragged her out of bed?"
"Faye Faye's back!" Ed said as if understanding at last whom they were talking about. "Ed go wake her up!" With that, the little girl ran off. Jet shook his head.
"She seemed kind of out of it, though." Spike said. "I think she found out about her past." Jet stared at Spike.
"Really? And she still came back here?"
Spike looked at the door were Ed had left from. "I think she didn't like what she found." He said, softly.
Jet followed Spike's gaze and frowned. "Talk about your blues traveler, huh?"

Ed opened the door to Faye's room and jumped on the bed were Faye lay curled up. "FAYE FAYE HOME! FAYE FAYE HOME!" She screamed jumping up and down on the bed. She stopped when Faye didn't move or say anything. Ed looked down at her, Faye's eyes were opened but she didn't seem to even notice Ed.
"Faye Faye?" He asked, sitting next to her. "Tell Ed what's wrong?"
Faye didn't say anything. She just stared at Ed blankly as if looking right threw her. Ed frowned. "Faye Faye, what's wrong? Tell Ed. Ed will help."
"There's nothing you can do." Faye whispered. She turned away from Ed and pulled the covers over her head. "Please go away."
"Faye Faye." Ed said, softly. Ed sighed and walked out of the room. "Poor Faye Faye." Ed said to herself. "Ed wonders what's wrong with her."
***
Two days later.
***
Jet knocked on the door to Faye's room. She had been in there for the past two days, coming out only to go to the bathroom. Even then, though, she didn't talk to anyone. In fact, since the thing with Ed, she hadn't said more then a word to anyone. Jet walked in and saw Faye sitting at the end of her bed.
"Hey, Faye." He said, walking over to her. "I thought you might want some food." He smiled and showed Faye the tray of chines food. "Your favorite."
She looked up at him with those big eyes. Jet was kind of taken aback by that. She hadn't even looked at him since she had gotten back. "Thank you." She whispered, taking the food.
No one talked for a long time while she ate slowly. "Spike said that you might have found out about your past." Jet said as she handed the tray back. "Do you want to talk about it?"
Faye took a deep breath and looked at him again. "Everyone's gone, Jet." She said. "My family. my friends, my whole past life is gone. I have no one, any more. I'm all alone. I have nothing to go back to." Tears flowed down her cheeks. "My mom. my dad. my friends. they're all gone."
Jet sat next to her and rapped his arm around her. "I'm sorry, Faye." He said. Then an idea struck him. "Hey, I know. Why don't you take a nice warm shower? Make you feel all better."
She nodded. She stood and walked towered the door before turning and smile softly. "Thanks, Jet." With this she hurried off to the bathroom. Jet smiled and walked towered the living room. Spike was sitting on the couch. And Ed was sitting in the corner at her keyboard.
"Ed, can you find tickets to Romeo and Juliet for tonight?" Jet asked.
Ed nodded up and down very fast. "Ed can!"
"Good. I need three of them." Jet walked over to Spike.
"Since when do you go to plays, Jet?" Spike asked.
"Since now. And you're coming with me."
"Yeah, right." Spike laughed. Jet's eyes narrowed.
"You, me, and Faye are going out for a night on the town, and you don't get to say no." Jet said. "She's not in the best of moods and we need to get her out of the Bebop for a bit. So go get dressed, we are on our way to the play."
Spike groaned and yelled at Jet as he walked towered the door: "You owe me big for this, Jet!"
~~
Faye stepped out of the bathroom as she toweled off her hair. She was met by Spike who was leaning on the wall across from the bathroom door. Faye glared at him. "What?" She asked.
Spike smirked. "Someone's not in a good mood."
She rolled her eyes. "Right. What do you want, Spike?"
He held up a ticket. "Romeo and Juliet. Jet bought the three of us tickets to go to it tonight. You might want to change into something nice."
Her eyes lit up as she took the ticket. Jet did this? For her? He was willing to go to a girlie play? Man, that guy was sweet. She smiled at Spike for the first time in a long time. She hugged him and raced off to change. Spike watched her go, shacking his head and muttering about woman.
Faye pulled out two dresses from her closet and looked at them. One was the same one she had worn when her. encounters with Vicious. The other was a flowing crimson dress that came down to the floor. Thinking that the later would bring back less painful memories, she chose the red one.
***
Jet and Spike were waiting in the hall when Faye walked out. "How do I look?" She asked, spinning around to show them the dress. It was sleeveless and she had chosen some high heels that matched. She had her hair in a twisted bun.
"Wow, Faye!" Jet said, smiling. "You look great."
"Thanks, you two do, too." She took in their tuxes and shook her head. She never thought she'd live to see the day. "So, lets get going, shall we?"
***
The walked into the theater and up to the balcony seats. Faye smiled as the play started. Jet looked over at Spike who smirked and shook his head. Faye was watching the play as if it were the most amazing thing in the world. Neither of the boys knew how much she loved this kind of thing. But Spike knew one thing, he had never seen that fare off dreamy look in her eyes before. it was kind of nice.
At the end of the play, they all stood and clapped, none more so then Faye who looked like she was about to cry of happiness.
"That was so great." She told the boys as the walked out of the theater. "So wonderfully acted."
"I'm glad you enjoyed it." Jet said. "How about some dinner at a nice restaurant?"
"I'd love that." Faye said smiling. The called a taxi and drove off. From the shadowed ally, a man watched them go. He smirked a little. He's plane was about to begin. It was only a matter of time before he made everything in the Bebop crew's life's change forever! He laughed to himself. His revenge would be sweet.

Look Out, Space Cowboys.

Someone was humming. A soft, motherly, lullaby the song seemed to be. She slowly opened her eyes and saw she was in a room. A soft breeze was blowing from an open window. She saw a woman in a rocking chair. She was sewing and humming. The woman stopped and smiled at her as if to say 'good morning, sleepy head'. She gazed at the woman before smiling softly.
"Mother." She whispered. She was about to stand when.
. Faye woke from her dream and sat up in bed. She looked around her empty room. She sighed and flopped down on the bed. "That. that dram." She muttered and rubbed her face.
***
Session Two: Dreamy Nights and Big Bounties.
***
Faye walked into the living room to see Spike still asleep and Jet watching something on TV. She looked over his shoulder and smiled faintly. "Big Shots back on, I see." She said, yawning.
"Yup," Jet said. "I think they got a lot of angry phone calls or something."
"That always works for me." She flopped down next to them and watched.
"Today we have a BIG bounty head for all you thrill seekers." The man said. "Terry Banks, assign. He's worth big 15 million!"
"FIFTEEN MILLION!" Faye and Jet screamed at the same time. Spike yelled and sat up in bed.
"What the hell, Jet!" He yelled. He looked at the scream were a picture of a man with dark purple hair and black eyes.
"Good luck, cowboys." The girl on the screen said, winking. Jet flipped off the TV a big grin on his face.
"We're about to hit the big time." He said.

COWBOY BEBOP

Faye walked down the streets looking around. She slipped on her sunglasses and walked into the bar. She sat down and waved to the man to come over to her.
"What can I get ya?" He asked, rubbing a glass down while he spoke.
She pulled a picture from her pocket and showed it to him. "Have you seen this man around?" The man shook his head, but Faye could see that he was lying.
"No one like that been around here, miss." He said. "Any reason you're looking for him?"
"He's an old friend that I haven't seen in a long time." She said, pulling out a smoke. "I got an e-mail from him the other day, asking me to come down, but I'm afraid he wasn't at home when I got there."
"Well, if I see him I'll sure tell him someone was looking for him. In the mean time, would you like a drink?"
"A beer, any kind." She said. The man nodded and walked away. Faye fiddled with her glasses a little and looked around the room. No, he wasn't here. But she knew that the bar tender knew more then he was letting on. She turned to look at his back and saw him pulling something from the drawer. She frowned and stood. She hurriedly walked out the door and down the street towered her ship.
She hit a button and Jet appeared on the screen. "He's not in the bar, but the guy tried to poison me. He knows something."
"Did you see him in the bar?" Came Spike's voice.
"No one even close. I'm gonna look in a few warehouses down the road, they seem like a nice place to hind from the law."
"Right." Jet said. "We'll meet up at the Bebop in an hour."
Faye nodded and pushed the button again. She got out of her ship and began to walk down the street.
From the shadows of the ally, were her ship was parked, a figure watched her leave. He placed a small blinking idem on the ship, smirked, and left.
Faye had reached the first place and found a stack of boxes that reached an already open window. She climbed up and saw that no one was there. She frowned. No way was this guy going to be in there. There was nothing inside. No boxes not nothing. nothing.
'What's an old place like this.' She thought as she climbed threw the window. 'Doing totally empty.' She walked threw the large room and found nothing. 'Someone wanted to clear out everything. but why? What's this guy hiding?'
"Don't move." Came a whispered voice from behind her. She felt something press agents her head. She frowned. "What do you want?"
"I'm looking for Terry Banks." She said, her hands raised in the air.
"I'll bet you are."
"What's all this, Terry?" Faye asked. "What are you hiding?"
"Shut up!" He hissed. "You're not going to be able to tell anyone where I am. So long."
Faye ducked right before he fired. She tripped him and pulled out her gun. Terry's eyes widened as he gazed up at her. "You're coming with me, my fifteen million friend."
He smirked. "That's what you think." He said. Something hit Faye across the head. She fell back and saw Terry and another man run off. She moaned and sat up. "Damn it!" She hissed she saw a ship come out of no were and fly away. She ran to her ship and took off, flying as fast as she can.
"Jet, I'm on his tail." She said, firing bullets at the ship. "I could use some back up."
"I'm on it." Spike replied.
"Hurry, Spike, he's fast." A moment or so later, Spike's ship came into view. "About time." She muttered. They chased Terry and his partner threw the city, running into a few things in the process. Spike had begun to fire at him as well. Faye lined up a shot with the gas tank and fired. The back half of the ship blew up and it fell.
"Yes!" Spike said. "Nice shot, Faye." The two landed their ships and ran over to the wreckage. They saw the two men lying there, knocked out. "A cool fifteen mill."
***
There was a soft humming noise again. She felt the wind and watched the clouds floating by, casting their shadows on the grass where she lay. She sat up and looked all around her. She was on a hill in the middle of the afternoon. She saw her mother sitting on the grass not fare away, humming her song. It was a lovely spring day.
"Mother." She whispered. Her mom looked over at her and smiled. She smiled back and felt more love then she had ever felt in her life.
"Wake up, dear." Her mother said. She smiled sadly as she repeated: "Wake up, dear. It's time to wake up. Wake up Faye."
Slowly she opened her eyes and found she was once again in her room. Faye sighed and pulled the covers over her head.
