Chapter 3: His last notes


The remains of the Bebop crew walked into the cemetery quietly. Jet came upon Spike's grave, and crouched down to make sure it was his.
He read the epithet aloud, "Life is but a dream. I guess whoever buried Spike really knew him well."
Jet glanced down at the ground and said, "I guess I just had to see it with my own eyes."
Jet pulled out the bottle of whiskey that Spike had hid behind the fridge.
"Here buddy, who says you can't take it with you" Jet said with a grin as he leaned the bottle against the tombstone.
Jet then walked away from the grave, crossed his arms, and closed his eyes.
Ein walked up to Spike's grave, lowered his nose and let out a whimper. He then trotted over to Jet's side.
Ed walked up, with out her usually whimsical manner. She stuck a pinwheel in the ground next to his grave and said, "See you Spike-person". She then slowly walked away.
At that moment, Ein heard something, he looked towards a tree where a figure in the shadows quickly ducked out of sight. Ein quickly ran up to the tree, to be greeted to a stranger smiling down on him. He had a strange grin and grey hair. He crouched down, and patted Ein on the head, confusing the dog further.
Faye walked up to Spike's grave. She pulled out the beta tape of her past, and broke it in half. She laid the pieces on the grave and through her tears managed to say, "Thank you"
Jet opened his eyes and said, "I think its time to blow this scene, get everybody and their stuff together.Ok, Ed, Faye, Ein, Let's jam."
Ein looked to Jet, then looked back to see the mysterious figure missing. He cocked his head to the side, and then ran up to Jet's side.
As they walked out of the cemetery, Faye looked down to Ed and said, "You know Ed, I think you have grown up a bit since you left. You were much more serious and normal then usual."
As they came to the cemetery gate, an ice cream truck with a huge plastic ice cream cone on top drove by.
Ed yelled, "Ice cream!" and jumped on top of the car.
She then started licking the fake ice cream and swooning. Ein chased Ed down the street as her voice echoed, "Mmmmm... Vanilla".
Faye and Jet just stared at Ed's antics, then looked at each other and cracked a grin. And so this session has come to a close as the players make their way back home. Although they may have lost a player to his past, the Bebop crew now has a new future ahead of them. Well, I guess there is not much more to say except.

See you, Space Cowboy.
