Chapter after the last one
Spike laid on his bed thinking about the things his father told him an hour ago. He ignored the stuff about Faye, he wasn't really marrying Faye, so what did it matter to him?
It was the divorce part that got his attention. Jacob and Teresa seemed so happy together. She was like the Yin to his Yang. He was dull and content while she was a little whiled and greedy. He was rich and could afford giving his mother adventure, unless….
He quickly shook the thought out of his head. He didn't want to think about his father going bankrupt. He was the wealthiest guy on Mars. Then another thought came into his head that disturbed him a little. Adventure? What kind of adventure was he not giving her?
Could it be that his mother was cheating on his father? He never figured his mother as that type of woman, then again, what type was she? She was her own type! God knows what she would do she was so unpredictable. He looked the livingroom clock, 12:00 am. He wondered into the kitchen area and saw something he never thought he would ever see.
His mother and Jet making out!! (haha no I'm just joking. But do you think I should? You tell me!)
(Rewind)
His mother was in front of the stove cooking what looked to be bacon, when did they get bacon, when did she learn how to cook? He walked in and sat at the table watching her.
"Mom," he said curiously. She looked at him with a look he had never seen. That air headed bubble brain was gone, there was a woman there with intelligence and sadness. She smiled at him and took the bacon off the frying pan and put more on. Her dark green hair was up in a loose sloppy bun and she was dressed in an almost sloppy way.
Normally you would see her with prada and cashmere on in the latest style. At the moment she wore a button up shirt half tucked in with a pair of grey loose pajama bottoms that hung off her hips. Spike didn't know what to make of the strange new look.
"I thought I would go for something different," she said tonelessly, "I'm usually dressed so rich and uncomfortably that I thought this would be a nice change."
"Mom," he said, "can I ask you something."
"May I, Spike," she corrected him.
"May I ask you something?"
"Certainly." Spike was taken aback, that was a big word for her.
"Are you having an affair?" She looked shocked by the question. She quickly turned her head in her sons direction with a surprised look on her face. It quickly relaxed to amusement and she put on a sad smile.
"He told you about the possible divorce, didn't he?" Spike could only nod. "I'm not having an affair. I thought it was so good that he and I were so different. We had almost nothing in common, my weaknesses where his strengths', his weakness was mine. We balanced each other out perfectly. But, as it turns out, he cannot give me the life I wanted." She flipped the bacon. "He wanted luxury and content. I was raised that way. They say nothing breeds faster then content. That is not so true. You were never content, well, neither was I." She took the bacon off and put it on another plate.
She put one in front of Spike and on in front of herself.
"I asked him if we could travel more, he told me no, he was getting to old to travel and wanted to stay at home. When I asked if he minded that I traveled he said he feared me having an affair. He is holding me back and if it gets to fighting point, I'm leaving him. He knows how unhappy I am but he seems obsessed with keeping me prisoner. I know he doesn't want to loose me after he lost you, but at the rate he is going, he will. I love your father, but I have to live life the way I want to. I never asked him to change his!"
"So why not tell him that?"
"I tried but he couldn't here me. No, he isn't going deaf, he just was so strong at were he stood he closed his ears to me. I want to live my life in adventure so bad, but that's not what he wants. I want him to live the life he wants, but his life is not mine."
"You two looked like you were having fun during the bounty hunt."
"Haha we were having fun. See, that's what I want with him. I want fun and excitement! I thought that was what he would want with me. Do you think he thinks me to old for him?"
"No, why?"
"Well I am older then him and he shows less interest in me."
"Hey, why don't we go on another bounty hunt! You, dad, me, Faye, Jet, and Ed! How does that sound?" Teresa brightened up.
"Do you think it might help?"
"Maybe a little!" She nodded enthusiastically. They ate there food in silence then went off to get some sleep.
……………………………………………………………………………………….
"You want to what!?"
"Come on Faye," said Spike after telling her the plan, "we are trying to help save a marriage!"
"I don't think hunting bounties will help save their marriage Spike," said Jet who was also present.
"Do you two have any better ideas? My dad wants her to love him again and she wants to spend exciting time with him! It's perfect. They were having fun together last time so lets go again!" Jet looked frustrated. He didn't like this one bit but he didn't want to keep his partner hanging like this.
"I'm in," said Jet, "let's just hope they don't get killed. I have a bounty in mind, nothing big, just some convenient store stick ups."
"I'm in to, cowboy, but your responsible for them," said Faye.
"Ed help," shouted Ed who was also in the room.
"Yeah, Ed, you can help," said Spike.
………………………………………………………………………………………..
"So what are we catching," asked Teresa. She was back to her babble headed stupidness again.
"Robbers," said Ed, "we're going on a hunt for outlaw stick ups." Teresa looked at the girl a moment and pulled out her tape recorder.
"Note to self," she said, "whats-her-face's cloths are out of style, take her shopping some time." Spike felt a twinge of guilt. He wanted to tell them that it was all a lie to keep them off the bebop and away from the ship. Faye was not his fiancée and Ed was not their daughter. In truth, he didn't know if she even had a father. Jet and Spike were the closest to fathers she had and Faye, God forbid, was the closest thing to a mother she had.
"Okay people," said Jet, "here's the deal. We have one at the front door, two holding up the cashier, and one loading up on money. There are two hostages' including the cashier."
"Hostages'?"
"Yes, Jacob, hostages'. They are held at gunpoint so lets try and make this happen without any casualties ok?" They all nodded. Ed was to stand look out with Jacob, Teresa was to help hostages get out, and Spike, Jet, and Faye where to stop the criminals. Jet walked up to the man at the door and punched him in the face. The others came running toward him, Spike and Faye with gun in hand. Teresa kissed her husband and ran with the other three into the store.
Wow he thought she is one brave woman.
……………………………………………………………………………..
Spike took the man taking money, Faye took the shorter man with the gun, and Jet took the taller. Spike did a spin kick and knocked the mans gun out of his hand and pulled his own gun out and pointed it at the criminal.
Jet punched his man in the mouth, then in the nose, and his knee in the mans gut and put him in a head lock.
Faye dodged her mans fist and uppercut him in the jaw and elbowed him in the throat making the man crash down gasping for air.
While Teresa was helping the hostages out she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head. She looked up and saw a woman standing over her. The woman kicked Teresa in the gut and Teresa doubled over. She got up and got bitch smacked by the handle of the womans gun.
Teresa jabbed her head into the woman's stomach and grabbed her hair and began to pull. The two women began kicking, screaming, scratching, pulling hair, slapping, punching, and calling each other names. Jacob saw this threw a window and came barreling in avoiding the other fights. He pulled the other woman off his wife and shoved her in to the glass door to the refrigerated stuff.
After the criminals were finally stopped, the other three looked at the beaten woman and her husband. They looked at each other for a moment and then began to passionately kiss one another. Faye, Jet and Spike all three looked at each other and walked out to meet up with the police who were now outside of the store.
…………………………………………………………………………………
"Well," said Spike to Jet, "I think we might have saved their marriage after all."
"Don't get to comfy with the idea, Spike, he just has to screw it up once and it is back to the way they were."
"Only and idiot would screw it up after they managed to impress their wife like that."
As if on cue, Teresa came storming in looking angry, followed by a harassed looking Jacob.
"After all of that and you still wont come with me? Jacob, your old, not dead! Your not even that old anyway, your only in your 40's! What is wrong with you! You act like you don't have a pulse! All I ask is you come with me to tour the universe! I'm not asking anything outrageous! Why wont you come with me?"
"Look, Teresa, I said I wouldn't mind if you went, I just don't think it wise if I come. You know my heart and all."
"YOUR HEART?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU DON'T HAVE HEART PROBLEMS!"
"Please, Teresa, I have high blood pressure, you know that. Traveling might affect it."
"Oh give me a break, you just don't want to go anywhere with me! Are you seriously lying to me just to avoid leaving your precious little planet!?"
Jet and Spike jumped into action. Jet grabbed Teresa and pulled her into another room to talk to her and Spike took his father into the hanger.
…………………………………………………………………………
"Dad," he said, "what did you just do?"
"Your mother asked me to come with her to tour the universe. I told her 'no but I don't mind if you go I trust you.' Then she asked if I didn't trust her at first. I told her no and that I was just being paranoid. I told her it was an excuse to keep you from being robbed or mugged and that now I know that she would be able to take care of herself.
Then she got on me for not believing in her or some crazy shit. Then I told her that she had grown up a spoiled brat who had everything handed to her. She got angry and stormed off."
"Dad, you idiot!! I'm surprised your marriage has lasted this long if that is what you really think of her!"
"I don't care how old you are Spike, you do not talk to me like that!"
"Well, dad, I don't care how much you love mom you do not talk to her like that!"
Jacob got up and strongly fought the urge to smack him. He turned around and stormed off instead leaving Spike fumed and infuriated.
………………………………………………………………………….
