The colony was a sort of Eden, lush vegetation covering the outer areas of the cities.
"So what do we have to get on the list?" Spike grabbed the list form Jet's hand as they walked down a sidewalk.
"We're going after the hardwear and the women are going after the food."
"Good idea. I'm so happy to be out of the Bebop."
Meanwhile Alice and Ed were at a market looking at all the food.
"What do you think of Jezebel?" Alice smiled as she picked up a few things placing them in her shopping cart.
"Don't get me started on her. She thinks she can take my Spike away from me she'd crazy. Oh, we need puppy food too!"
"I know she flirts with him like crazy. Makes me upset when she puts you down. She's the bad one if you ask me, trying to get your boyfriend."
"I just hope her flirting doesn't work. I would just die if Spike left me, he's the first man I've really loved with all my heart and soul."
"Just look at it this way, if he does go off with her you'll see that all men are jerks. See all men can be jerks but Jet is someone who was a lower jerk factor."
"Spike has a low jerk factor I think. Who knows with that boy."
In a small café Jet and Spike sat drinking coffee while having a cigarette or two.
"Our shopping is done, finally." Said Spike as he picked his cup up, bring it to his lips and taking a sip.
"And now we get to go back onto the Bebop with Jezebel."
"That girl has problems. She keeps hitting on me and it bugs the shit out of me. It's like she doesn't care that I'm happy with Elisabeth. If she weren't a girl I would kick the shit out of her."
Jet laughed and almost spit out his coffee. "If she was a man and hit on you that would be funny as hell."
"Not funny Jet. Tell me, have you and Alice picked a date for the wedding?"
"As of this time we have no date but she does want to get married on Venus. It's beautiful there then again you do know that. I want this to be as perfect as it can be for her, you know?"
"Yeah, I know. If I ever get hitched I want to have everything perfect. Be it with my luck I'll die before I get the chance."
There was a pause between the two and Jet got up the nerves to ask. "Why don't you just ask Ed? I know it's only been a year that you two have been together but you're perfect for each other."
"Ask Ed huh? She'll say yes I'm sure of it. Yet I don't want to get married and leave her if anything were to happen to me."
"That's just a risk you'll have to take my friend. Personally I think you settling down with her would benefit the both of you rugrats."
"Who knows, she may be the one who ropes this cowboy."
It wasn't too long before everyone was back in the Bebop. Alice and Ed were unpacking the food supplies they had picked up. Jet was fixing just one of the broken things in the Bebop. Spike was feeding Hope and Jezebel was making a plan.
"What's her name?" Jezebel leaned up against the door jam to Spike's room.
Without looking up he spoke. "Her name is Hope. She's a Boxer mix and she's Elisabeth's dog."
"I simply asked her name. Are you trying to answer any questions I may have so you can get rid of me?"
"Bingo."
Jezebel sat on the floor next to Spike. The puppy was in his lap asleep while he petted her. Slowly Jezebel leaned in kissing Spike quickly on the lips and with perfect timing. As Jezebel's lips met Spike's Elisabeth walked in. Her eyes were filled with horror as she ran out of the room just missing Spike pushing Jezebel away.
"How many times do I have to tell you that I'm happy with Elisabeth? I will never want you no matter what you say or do." He yelled standing up, placing the puppy on the bed.
"You will." She smiled and stood besides him until he took off to go find his girlfriend.
Elisabeth said nothing as she passed Spike walking towards the room the two shared. As soon as her eyes fell upon Jezebel she swung. She hit Jezebel square in the jaw, not waiting for a reply hit she hit her once again in the face.
"You bitch! I'm royalty and you will pay for this once I get to Titan."
"No, Empress you pay now for hitting on MY boyfriend." Ed's hit was blocked and returned by the other girl.
The remaining three rushed to the room to see the cat fight. Spike knew how much Ed knew about kickboxing and other fighting techniques so she had the upper hand.
"Should someone stop those two?" Jet asked in a whisper.
"No, let them get this out of their systems. Ed seen Jezebel kiss me and she must have snapped."
"Jezebel kissed you?"
"Yeah Alice she did. I think Ed can teach her a thing or two."
The girls were still fighting. Nails and hair pulling not even a factor as of the present time. Elisabeth kicked Jezebel in the legs making her fall to her face.
"You lay a finger on him ever again and I will find a way to kick you out of the airlock. I'm the only one who sleeps in that bed with him. Do you hear me?"
Jezebel had enough and nodded. Her lip was cut and she her face was slightly puffy where she had gotten hit. Ed held her side and sat on the bed next to the puppy. She watched the other women limp out of the room and past the crowd into the main room.
"Good job Ed." Spike sat down next to Elisabeth and smiled as his girlfriend's head rested on his shoulder.
"I just couldn't handle the idea of her in bed with you not me. She's a evil bitch and she needed to be taught a lesson."
"Don't worry about it. You kicked the shit out of her and now she knows not to mess with you."
"You didn't enjoy the kiss… did you?"
"Now what makes you think I did?" He looked down at her from the corner of his eyes.
"I don't know. It's just I'm afraid to lose you."
"You'll never loose me. I'm here until the end so don't worry."
She nodded and looked up at the door that happen to bust open was her eyes locked onto it. Five men rushed in with Uzi's in hand. They all took aim at Spike shooting him to the brink of death. Elisabeth watched them leave and looked down at her barely alive boyfriend.
"Spike.. SPIKE!" She held him close to her body as she sobbed.
"I love you Elisabeth but the dream had to end sooner or later." His voice cracked then his body went limp in her arms.
Breathing heavily Ed woke up. She had fallen asleep while her head was on Spike's shoulder. He was next to her on the bed wide-awake.
"I dreamt you got shot. You died in my arms." She sobbed and clung onto his body.
"That was only a dream and I told you I would never leave you." He held her back as Hope nipped at his pant legs.
"But, it felt so real. I swear that if you go off and get yourself killed Spike I will never be able to stay on the Bebop or even Mars for that matter. I'll go back to Earth and live there."
Spike laughed and leaned down picking up Hope and placing her between the two. She yawned her little puppy yawn then fell asleep. Elisabeth smiled and petted the pup, forgetting her worries for a moment.
"I think we need to get out of bed. Jet said we leave for Titan tonight. He can't stand her either, she needed a dose of reality. Things in the real world don't revolve around her."
"Please lets not talk about Jezebel."
"No problem."
As the two lie in bed the Bebop had already made its way into space towards Titan. It was a day and a half trip but it was well worth it. Alice worried that Ed and Jezebel's fight might bring misfortune onto the Bebop but then again she did deserve the whacks.
"So what do we have to get on the list?" Spike grabbed the list form Jet's hand as they walked down a sidewalk.
"We're going after the hardwear and the women are going after the food."
"Good idea. I'm so happy to be out of the Bebop."
