Men are from Mars

                The only thing Spike needed was peace, quite, and tranquility, he of course got none of these

"Stop it Faye, your being obnoxious." Jett said to Faye. Faye smiled and clicked off the computer

"Am I?" She asked innocently. Jett mumbled and went to the back room. Spike tried not to look up at Faye from the couch, because if he did, she would surely get smart with him. The Bebop clicked and shifted then Faye decided to strike up a conversation with Spike

"So." She said leaning over.

"Yes?" Spike asked rolling over to face the couch.

"What's the next bounty?" she asked. Spike muffled something then sat up

"I don't feel like bounty hunting." He said gruffly. Faye rolled her eyes. Spike stood up, then turned

"Just because you can get Jett angry, doesn't mean it works for me to."

"What do you mean." Faye asked.

"You know what I mean." Spike sulked and walked away.

                There was a bounty, in fact Spike and Jett had intended on getting it alone. Faye usually wasn't this annoying, but something had gotten into her. But Spike wasn't the type to get into girl issues. He moved past the main dock, jumped off the front and walked down the harbor. He couldn't keep track of which city he was in, more the less, what planet. He walked down the crowded streets and found a nice park to sit at. He put on his observation glasses. The bebop was tracking down some young guy with the name of Simon. That was it. Luckily Jett found a picture of him. This guy had fair skin, red hair, blue eyes, and a sharp nose. He was very stuck up, and a good sword fighter. Spike scanned the park and discovered a group of sword fighters. Spike jumped up and walked over. There were three men, one old, and two in their early twenties. The old man had a simple sword, which looked like it was made out of wood. The two around him had expensive, sharp swords of metal. The old man dipped and tucked around the two, the first with black hair made a leap for him, missed, and rolled on the ground. The second, who had blonde hair lunged at the old man, caught his blade with the old mans sword, and the old man pushed him off. The blonde stumbled back and fell.

"It's not the sword that holds the power my friends, but the owner." The old man said putting away his sword. The two young men looked at each other, then the old man, then followed his stare at Spike. Spike held out Simon's picture. The old man seemed to read Spike like a book.

"That's Simon." He said. The two young men stood up and snickered.

"What do you know about him?" Spike asked

"He was a student of mine." The old man said. The man with black hair laughed

"He was the only student that got kicked out." He looked at the blonde, who explained

"Simon tried to kill his own teacher because he wasn't that good. So he got kicked out, and now he somehow became famous for his sword skills."

"What's the name of the school you teach?" Spike asked the old man.

"Mars Men Sword School."  The old man answered. Then the one with black hair studied Spike

"I know who you are." He said, the blonde nodded "You're a bounty hunter, huh? I can tell, look you better have your head fasten tight on your shoulders to take Simon on, his head is almost bigger than his ego, if you know what I mean."

Spike nodded, the old man told him where Simon used to live, and still did. Then the two young men wished him luck, but Spike told them he didn't need it.

                Spike decided to go back to the Bebop and sleep on it. He trotted back home just in time for soup. Apparently Edward was hiding a whole box under her bed, and was eating it cold. Spike finished his soup, burped and layed down in front of the TV

"I have a secret." Faye cooed.

"Good. Then keep it to yourself." Spike said throwing his spoon at her. Faye disregarded his comment and pressed on

"But I guess I can tell you."

"No. If you tell me I'll tell the whole freakin' universe." Spike said trying to ignore her. Faye leaned close to him

"I have a boyfriend." She said sweetly. Spike looked up at her

"Then will you be leaving us, dearest?" Spike asked. Faye grinned

"Don't hold your breath." She said sitting down. Spike had to admit he was a little interested; he wanted to know what idiot wanted to go out with her

"Who did you string up this time?" Spike asked.

"He won't tell me his full name, but his first name is Simon." Faye grinned. Spike jumped up

"What?"

"Do you know him?"

"No, but, damnitt!" Spike yelled

"Is there something I should know?" Faye asked. Spike didn't want Faye on the job, so he decided to keep his mouth shut

"No Faye, nothing at all."
