Spike sat on the ragged yellow couch in the makeshift living room aboard the Bebop. He turned on the T.V. to find Big Shot on.

"Howdy folks! It's time for Big Shot, the show designed to help all you bounty hunters out there. I'm Punch." The Latino man clad in a colorful cowboy outfit said excitedly.

"An' I'm Judy!" A blonde woman yelled just as enthusiastically

"We just received a new bounty. His name is Keros. Keros has a bounty on his head of a whopping 26.000.000 Woolongs!" Punch shouted.

"Oh wow!" Judy said, bouncing excitedly. Spike looks a bit closer to the screen, studying the picture of the man on it. He had short black hair that was slicked back, his eyes were a light blue, almost gray and completely devoid of emotion.

"Is there any more information?" Judy asked, almost pouting.

"No, only a number to call when the bounty is caught."

"Oh well. That's all the time we have for today. Good luck all y-" Before Judy could finish her sentence, Spike snapped off the monitor.

A faint smile crossed his face.

"26 million Woolongs, huh." He mused to himself. Edward was sitting at Tomato when Spike walked up to her.

"Ed, look up a bounty named Keros, Will ya?" Ed bobbed her head up and down as she began her search.

Spike sunk back into his spot on the couch and laid down. Jet was tending to his bonsai trees, Faye was taking a shower and using up all of the hot water in the process, Ed was searching, and Ein was taking a nap next to the teen hacker. Spike looked at Ein as he laid down. Following Ein's example, Spike soon started to doze.

Before he was completely asleep, Edward leapt on top of him, laughing insanely, Ein stared passively. Spike tried to get up, but much to his chagrin, Ed was on top of his head, pinning Spike to the couch and cutting off much of his air.

"Ed!" He cried in a muffled, slightly strangled voice, "Get the hell off of me!" Much to Spike's surprise, Ed did indeed leap off of him and landed in front of him, her wild golden eyes barely inches away from Spike's bleary, two-toned brown ones.

"Edward found Keros head." She said happily. Spike sat up and rubbed his head.

"Really, what did ya find?"

"Keros head is hiding out on Earth somewhere. The ISSP is having a Veeery hard time finding him, but Edward knows where to find him." She grinned evilly as she said this last bit.

Spike edged away from Ed as she said this, he was afraid to admit it, but that girl scared him sometimes, and this was definitely one of those time.

"Well, where is he hiding on Earth?" Spike almost demanded, hiding his fear.

Ed crossed her arms and closed her eyes, ending up making a very comical imitation of Jet when he's being serious.

"Keros is hiding in a place that was once called Japan."

"Well then, what are we waiting for?" A feminine voice asked from behind them, "We should go get this guy, and you two aren't going to leave me outta this, understand?" Faye said, still wrapped up in her towels.

"Faye, you can't go." Spike stated, casually closing his eyes. Faye's face went red with anger.

"And just why not?! Is this some sort of guy thing that a girl isn't going to be allowed to do?! Tell me Goddamnit!"

"No, it's not that." Spike said, "It's just, you're not dressed. I'm not going to let some girl who's only wearing a towel accompany me on this."

Faye blushed as she looked down at what she was wearing. She was indeed still clad in nothing more then a towel around her body, and another one around her head.

"Oh." She said, still blushing as she went to her room to get dressed. About a half hour later, she came out, now wearing her customary yellow plastic zip up tank top, her red sweater, her yellow short shorts, and her red boots.

"Satisfied?" She sniffed, walking towards the hanger, "Now we can go."
