AN: Here's Ed's last song. ;_; Next is a Spike song and then we're into The Real Folk Blues pt. I. ^_^ Thanks to ZellyBaby for choosing the song!

Disclaimer: I don't own Bebop or "Hazy Shade of Winter" by Simon and Garfunkel.

Time,
Time,
Time, see what's become of me
While I looked around for my possibilities.

Ed's upset. They left me behind! I wanted to go! That was the point of making the bounty, those stupids! Ed sighed and went to the bridge. It's their own faults for leaving Ed behind… Ed sat down in the drivers seat and giggled as I started the engine. Now which way did they go again? OOHHH!! THAT WAY!!

I manoeuvred the ship to face the group of craters, a few miles to the left. Hehe! Ed will find her father! Ed told the computer to accelerate as fast as the ship would go. Ed wanted to get there fast! WHOAAAA…. That's FAST! Look! There's Spike and Jett! They're getting really close! Why is Spike fighting that big man? Oh, and why is Jett waving at Ed? Ed waved back.

"Hi Jett!!!!" Oh, wait, Ed should probably stop. The Bebop can't go on land.

Where's the brake again?

I was so hard to please.
Look around,
Leaves are brown,
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.

Ed ran through the ship, and Ein was following her, barking. Ed doesn't care though, I get to see my father! Ed ran onto the deck of the ship and leaned over the side carefully. Ed hoped she hadn't hit Spike-person, but she wasn't sure. I saw a man, he looked like the hologram that the sister had given Ed! The man looked at Ed and then grinned.

"Francoise!" he cried, and opened his arms. Ed grinned and dropped her remote control that she had used to make the Bebop stop. I jumped off the deck and the man caught Ed by her ankles and spun her around. It was Father-person!

"How's that?" he asked, and threw Ed in the air. We bounced around and he kept throwing Ed up and up! It was fun! When we stopped, I walked with Father-person over to Jett-person and Spike.

"This is Father-person," Ed said, introducing them.

"…Father…?" Spike asked, Ed thinks he looks a little pale.

"Your father?!" Jett person said. Hehe, they look so funny!

"She had such a thing?" Spike wondered. Ed ignored him and turned to Father-person.

"This is Jett-person and Spike-person," Ed told him. He walked toward Spike.

"I see," he said and head-butted Spike! Eek! Nooo!!! Father-person!!

"No, father. Good people!" I said to him.

"Oh? I see," Father held out a basket of eggs and smiled. "Thank you for taking care of my son… or was it daughter?" I rolled my eyes. Ed knows he never remembers things like that. "Oh well, it's alright either way." Father walked toward Spike and set the basket of eggs down on his chest. "That's a token of my appreciation."

Ed giggled. Spike-person looks so cute when he's been knocked down! Hee hee!

Hear the Salvation Army band.
Down by the riverside's
Bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned.

"So you want to come with me?" Father asked Ed.

"Huh?" Ed wondered. Do I want to go with him? Does Ed want to leave the Bebop? Does Ed want to leave her friends? Does Ed want to go? Father-person smiled at Ed. He seems so nice, but he did forget about Ed. I don't know…

"Eh?" Father turned his head and looked away from Ed. Another meteor fell to the Earth and hit the ground near us. Father started running to his car.

"Hurry up Michael-duck!"

"That's MACINTIRE!" Father's assistant shouted as he grabbed his things. Father and his assistant drove away, leaving Ed behind. He forgot Edward, again!!!

Carry your cup in your hand.
And look around.
Leaves are brown.
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter.

Everyone went back to the Bebop, and Jett yelled at Ed for using her remote control on the Bebop again. Then he went to make eggs to eat. Faye-faye hadn't come back yet. Ed wandered around the Bebop a bit. I dunno, I think maybe Ed will go find her father again. Faye-faye said that Ed has somewhere she belongs.

Ed saw Spike sitting on the couch. He had a bandage on his cheek from where father-person hit him. He looked very sad.

Ed knows what will make him feel better!! I ran into my room, and got Tomato and the pinwheel that Faye-faye had bought Ed. Ed ran back into the lounge and snuck up behind the couch, like a cat. Ed popped up behind Spike and grinned. Ed had surprised Spike a bit, but he still looked sad. So Ed gave him her pinwheel. Maybe that will help him feel better!

Hang on to your hopes, my friend.
That's an easy thing to say,
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend that you can build them again.
Look around,
The grass is high,
The fields are ripe,
It's the springtime of my life.
*

Ed grabbed Tomato and her goggles and the remote control, and all her other things and then walked onto the deck of the Bebop. I put my things down on the deck and then ran back into the hanger to get something.

Ed rummaged around until I found it. Woo! Paint! Ed found the paint that Jett used to touch up the Swordfish II! Ed ran back onto the deck and began painting! Woo! I love paint!

When Ed was done, I picked up my things again and jumped onto the ground. Ed began walking back toward where she saw Father-person go.

Behind Ed, I heard barking. It was Ein! Ed stopped and waited as Ein came up to her.

"You can't come with me Ein." No, you should go back and take care of Spike and Jett.

"Ed is going someplace far, far away." You shouldn't come with Ed.

"I might not be coming back…" Ed will miss you though.

"So Ein, you should go back home!" It's not Ed's home anymore.

Ein looked at the ground and whimpered. Ed didn't want to leave Ein. He was Ed's best friend. Ed leaned over and whispered.

"Do you want to come with Ed?" Ein barked.

Seasons change with the scenery;
Weaving time in a tapestry.
Won't you stop and remember me
At any convenient time?
Funny how my memory skips
Looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme.
*

Ed looked back at the Bebop, it was hard to see in the fading sunlight. Ed will miss everyone, especially Jett's bad cooking, Spike and Faye-faye's fights, and chasing all the bounties. It was fun guys. Ed turned back to Ein.

"Let's go Ein."

Drinking my vodka and lime,
I look around,
Leaves are brown,
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter…

See ya Space Cowgirl…
