Chapter 1: The players gather for another session.
The Bebop quietly hummed as it floated over the surface of Mars. Faye was sitting in front of the TV, and drinking her Pippu cola, flipping channels with a glazed look. She thought back to just three days ago, as Spike walked away from her life...
"Faye!"
"Huh...what...," mumbled Faye.
Jet grumble to him self something about all work and no play. "While you were off in dream land I found us a new lead. Alex Elliot wanted for the murder of a police chief down in Calisto. We will be taking off soon."
Faye stood up in a panic and shouted, "What about Spike!?!"
Jet winced at the thought, then got his tough guy act together and said, "What about him."
Faye angrily shouted, "What if he comes back, don't you care?"
Jet sighed and said, "Julia is dead. Spike has nothing left to live for. I don't think he will ever come back."
Jet started to walk away but Faye grabbed his arm and said, "He can't die, he has been through a lot worse. There is no way he could die to that coward Vicious. He will come back. He has to."
Jet jerked his arm away from Faye and said, "Do you think I like this anymore than you do. I knew Spike for three years, three years dammit," Jet shouted as he pounded his fist on the table knocking Faye's drink on the floor.
"This wasn't supposed to happen. He survived every freak out there, but he's dead now Faye. You have to accept that, its over."
Jet and Faye stared at each other, waiting for the next move. Then all of sudden the Bebop took a sudden lurch forward and started taking off at a very fast speed.
Faye shouted, "What the hell is happening?!?"
"Come on," Jet shouted as he grabbed Faye's arm and pushed off the furniture towards the cockpit.
Jet opened up the computer only to get a big ol' smiley face on the monitor. Then, every single monitor in the cockpit turned to that familiar smile.
Jet and Faye's jaws dropped and they shouted, "ED!!!"
The main monitor turned to Ed's big grin as she laughed like crazy.
Ed stopped smiling and got right next to the screen and shouted, "Welcome Bebop! Bebop, Bebop, Bebop good for Ed!"
Jet closed his jaw and shouted, "Ed, are you doing this?"
Ed started doing cartwheels in front of the monitor and said, "Me, pilot, no. I hack, Ein steers. He he he!"
Jet shouted, "EIN!?!"
Ed then pushed the monitor over to show that Ein, using his two front paws, was moving the joysticks that were piloting the ship.
Jet slapped his head and grumbled, "Well, I'd rather have Ein do it then Ed."
Faye pushed Jet out of the way, grabbed the monitor and shouted, "Where are you taking us Ed!?!"
All of the sudden, the Bebop stopped, flinging Faye, Jet and the monitor with Ed's face flying forward.
Faye and Jet were collapsed on the ground. The monitor with Ed's face on it hung above them by one wire from the ceiling.
Ed's cheerful little face smiled big and said "Bebop here, Bebop here".
