Most of them know I'm more wiccan so they ignore me for the most part. After the music, wich is actually pretty cool non of that choir shit, I sing for the youth group, its the only thing im interested in doing, I got to hang with the drummer who is a good friend of mine named brian. OH im so excited in less then a month I will be 19! Well I promised a sequel so here it is. Sorry it took so long xmas is over. Oh well you got it anyway.
Big Christmas Little Edward
Spike slept in the livingroom on the yellow couch, Spike was working with his bonsai thinking of Teresa, Faye was reading a magazine, Eine was chasing after nothing, and Ed was looking at the screen of her computer surfing the net.
Spike woke up and turned on the TV. Big Shots came on with the Big Shots blond still there. Spike's father had managed to talk Teresa into not having her fired, how, Spike may never know.
"Hey there amigos," The black man with the Mexican accent said, "happy holidays and welcome to big shots!"
"Happy Holidays," said Ed curiously. She had never heard of holiday's before.
"Yea," said Faye, "it's the 20th of December, Christmas is only a week away."
"What is xmas?"
"It is when family gets together to spend the holidays together and fight, argue, and find new excuses to hate each other. There is also this fat old guy dressed in red that have reindeer fly around the universe breaking into homes giving presents to good boys and girls," said Spike, "He is also a pedophile, he watches children everywhere to see if they are behaving and if they aren't he gives them coal, but if they are he bribes them with presents."
"SPIKE," shouted Fay, "look Ed don't listen to him, Santa doesn't bribe children. Besides, not all families are as dysfunctional as his." Ed just looked at the two. She had a big grin on her face.
"LETS CELEBRATE THIS YEAR," she shouted happily. Fay and Spike turned there attention to her. She stood up and 'flew' out of the room. She ran over to the bonsai room followed by a barking Ein. "Jet-jet," she said, "we are celebrating christmas this year!" Jet looked a ther curiously. "We need to invite family over so they can hate and fight!" Jet rolled his eyes. Who did this?

Jet thought about it as he, Spike, Faye, and Ed landed on Venus to buy Christmas stuff. They separated to go buy for one another but Jet agreed to take Ed with him. He and Faye would trade her so he could finish his shopping.
This wasn't a very bad idea, he remembered how to make Turkey, Spike was buying it, he still had Teresa's and Jacob's number. He wasn't sure how the two would manage being under the same roof again. It was a few months ago they had the divorce and Teresa got out of that one with enough money to retire early and live a really good life. Last Jet heard, however, she had gone off to do her own thing, what it was Jet wasn't to sure, maybe he would find out.
Ed stopped at a store and asked Jet to buy a large red fur coat for Faye, she would like that, thought Jet, Ed apparently knew her very well. He paid for Ed's gift to Faye and had it gift wrapped. Ed walked along singing to herself. She stopped by a market and bought a large bacon flavored bone for Ein, who had stayed behind on the ship. She then stopped by a Jewelry store and bought her 'grandmother' a jewelry box, and her 'grandfather' a watch. Next up was Spike, what do you get Spike? Simple, a bottle of liquor, cause if Jacob and Teresa were going to be there he would need it. Ed had been saving up all of her money.
She never really wanted anything so never bought anything. Jet got Faye a new stereo for her ship, she was always complaining that hers wasn't working right. Spike was going to get a new pair of spy glasses. The ones he had were shot and broken at one job. So he found a blue pair that worked the same as his old ones except these didn't just identify who a person was, these told you the bounty and what crimes they were guilty of. For Jacob he got a computer program that was recently designed and could only be bought on Venus for arranging taxes and sales. The man was nuts about his business and taxes and his sales so this was perfect. He didn't get out much either and you couldn't just order this program, mostly because it was only legal on Venus.
Teresa would get a beautiful chain necklace form him that had a tear shaped ruby on it and a fine gold chain. Ein got a chewy fuzzy thing from him that was green with googly eyes. Ed giggled when she saw it and said Ein would love it.
………………………………………………………………………………………
Spike wondered around cluelessly, what do you get people like them? He had no clue. His mom would love those flat suede boots that ran up to the thighs with the chain around the ankles. Mom was easy. His father would like that ship model of an old version of an airplane, his father was obsessed with old plane models. Jet would get a cook book, he loved to cook, Ein a chew toy that was a rubber cat, Ed would have a new monitor, they weren't that expensive these days. Last was Faye, what do you get Faye? He sighed this was to hard.
……………………………………………………………………
Faye stopped by the ice cream shop. She finished all of her shopping. Teresa got a new voice recorder, Jacob got a money clip with diamonds that shaped a dollar sign, Ed got a new outfit, a purple tank top and a black short skirt with a pair of black high heels, she would never wear it but it was always good to prepare for a date with a boy, and Jet got a bamboo plant, he needed a new kind of plant.
She was enjoying her cookie dough ice cream when it hit her, she forgot about Spike! But what do you buy Spike for Christmas? She decided to call up Teresa.
"Hello," came the familiar bubbly voice on the other end.
"Teresa," asked Faye.
"Oh hello dear," she said happily, "what is it?"
"We decided to celebrate Christmas this year, you are invited and so is Jacob by the way, and I don't know what to get Spike."
"Oh I will be sure to let Jacob know, we have been divorced but we still talk. As far as Spike, I would get him something that can kill something."
"Thanks Teresa, I will be sure to let Jet know I already let you guys know about it." The two women said goodbye again and hung up. She walked down to the gun store and looked around. She set her eyes on the perfect one! That was the gun he would want! IT WAS PERFECT!
………………………………………………………………………………
"Alright Jacob," said Teresa, "I will see you Christmas Eve then." She hung up the phone and got dressed. She wore a blue half dress with two slip on sleeves that had a slit up to the top and a leather thong that laced up to the top. She put on a pair of black ankle boots and a long black coat. She walked out of her Saturn apartment. She was living pretty well sense she and Jacob divorced. She did her own thing, painting, which had been her passion, and was able to travel a lot. When she laid in bed alone, however, she couldn't help but wish Jet was there to keep her body warm. She had been to several galaxies, many planets, met interesting people from all over, yet she had not seen Jet on any of them.
She wasn't trying to stalk him down or anything, but it would have been a nice surprise. She walked down the hallway and down the elevator. She walked outside and headed for the markets. She first thing she got was a self portrait of herself naked wrapped in silk for Jet. Next she got Spike a glass wolf that looked cool (my crazy describing skillz!), Faye a short skirt, a white long sleeved half cut shirt, brown long fuzzy boots, and a long light brown coat so she could look like an Eskimo hoe ( that was in a movie Wild Hogs. If you have seen it then you know what the outfit looks like). Her ex she got a laptop carrier, he loved to take work with him, now he wont have to worry about his laptop being ruined.
For Ed she got a game that you kill aliens in, that cute little boy will love it (yes she is still a little ditzy just not as bad as before. Give it time). She went back to her apartment and debated if she wanted to call Jet or not. Little did she know, after Faye hung up she met up with Jet and let Ed come with her and told Jet she let Teresa know already, he to was debated weather or not he should call. (Did you make any sense of that at all?)
……………………………………………………………………………
Jacob received a call saying he was invited to come to the bebop for the holidays form his exwife. He hung up and decided that if he was going to some Christmas party he should go shopping for gifts. He walked into town and got Faye a red kimono with and orange sash to go around her waist, his son a blanket because he loved to sleep so much, Jet a new communication device for his ship, that he was still determined to buy off him, and Ed a pair of green gem earings. He got Teresa a book of a few of the galaxies she had not been in just yet.
He walked back wondering if this was even a good idea, he was divorced for only a little more then a month. He saw a girl in a red long sleeve dress sitting alone in a café. What was she doing out this late? It was the middle of the night! He walked into the café and saw she was crying. She had short blond hair that looked to be soft and a pair of diamond earings. He walked up and asked if he could sit with her. She agreed and he set his bags down.
"What is wrong miss," he asked softly. She looked up and wiped her face and insisted it was nothing. The only problem with that was she had a black eye and a busted lip. "Now I know that's a lie, what happened to you? Who did this?"
"Please, nobody, it isn't important. Why do you care?"
"A pretty lady like you should not be alone." She looked at him and cried more.
"I'm not pretty," she cried, "I'm ugly." Jacob looked shocked, how could this pale beauty call herself ugly? "Why am I even alive?!"
"Please miss, you are beautiful. You are badly beaten though. Who did this to you?"
"My father, he tells me I'm ugly and hates it when I'm around him. He says I remind him of my mother. Why am I telling this to you anyway? I don't know you!"
"No but I'm here to listen. Do you want to come back to my place and we can talk?" The girl looked at him reluctantly, she didn't know him! Why would she go anywhere with him. She just shook her head. "Can I have your number and we can talk on the phone then?" She looked at him for a moment. She grabbed a napkin and wrote her name and number on it.
"Thankyou," she said, "may I have yours to?" Jacob wrote his name and number on a napkin as well. She took it and smiled. He got up and grabbed his stuff and left. When he got back to his house he read the name, Naomi, what a pretty name. He took the stuff in and set it down then sat by the phone. He picked it up but put it back down, she would call, that's why she asked for the number.
