A Mystery

He felt like the bad guy. It wasn't a feeling that happened often, he watched as Faye stormed into her room and Ed continued doing what she did. He glanced up at Jet who shrugged at him, so much for male support. Spike let out an explosive sigh. It seemed really simple a few seconds ago, he wanted to sleep, and for everyone to leave him alone, but with Faye losing at the horse races, again, and Ed being well Ed, he didn't see sleep in his near future. So he did what did best.

"Can't you people go away?" He moaned as he threw an arm over his face.

"Believe it or not Spike, we live here." Faye told him idly as Ed moved to her, tugging at her arm and asking her bizarre questions. Faye looked at Ed and smiled and told the younger girl that she could do her nails, this seemed to appease the crazy kid.

"No, you guys are things that won't go away." He replied. Faye's eyes cut him to the bone when she turns to him.

"It's Jet's ship Spike, your as much as a leech as the rest of us." Faye told him pointedly.

"A leech! A leech!" Ed sang as she ran around the room.

"JET! There are only-" Spike began.

"Three things in the worlds that you hate, animals, kids, and women with attitude." Faye finished with annoyance. He sat there with surprise, he didn't think that she actually listened to him, another surprise.

"Jeez Spike, if you hate us so much move out." Faye snapped and got up and stormed to her room.

Women, a mystery, half the time he didn't think she listened to him, maybe he was wrong, or she had been talking to Jet. Strange…
