That damn girl! : A Spike Spiegel and Faye Valentine fic
Chapter 5
~
Faye sat in the kitchen of the bebop, trying her hardest to keep herself from crying. Spike had now been gone for 5 hours, and still, nothing from Mikako. Not even a ransom message. Faye very slowly pulled out a cigarette and tried to get the lighter to light, and then realized that it was Spike's lucky lighter. She stopped a moment and stared at it. Tears began to flood over her cheeks. There wasn't enough room for any more in her eyes. She slowly broke down and cried harder than she had ever cried in her whole life, and to top it all off, over the one thing she never thought she'd cry over.
No one on the bebop was in high spirits. Even Ed lost her spunky self. Ein sat around and slept like normal dogs are supposed to act. Jet just sat in his room quietly, looking for any trail Mikako's ship might have left behind. Ed and Jet knew that Spike meant the world to Faye, even though she never showed it. But all the same, they tried their best to leave Faye alone and let herself rebuild.
Ed tried to be as quiet as possible while she tip toed into the kitchen and slipped a soda out of the fridge. She didn't pay one peek at Faye, knowing that if she did then she would cry too.
Faye jumped up at the sound of the fridge door closing. She wasn't crying anymore. Ed looked alarmed.
"Ed's sorry Faye-Faye! She'll leave quietly now! Honest! It won't happen again!"
Ed said as she practically ran out of the room.
"Wait! Ed!" Faye called. Ed slowly walked back into the room. Faye smiled, but even Ed could tell the difference between a fake smile and a smile that came from the heart.
"I…" Faye hesititated. "I'm sorry."
"For what? Faye-Faye didn't do anything."
"I know. But I'm sorry I've been sitting here crying for the past 5 hours."
"It's ok! Ed doesn't mind!"
"But Spike does."
Faye looked at Ed. *Faye-Faye's never been this upset before.* Ed thought to herself.
"Spike wouldn't want me to cry over him. Am I right?"
"Of course! Spike-person wouldn't want Faye-Faye to feel upset!"
"I think so too."
Faye got up and wiped her tears. She took the cigarette from her mouth and threw it in the garbage. She smiled and thought to herself. *Don't worry Spike. I'll rescue you if it's the last thing I ever do.*

Meanwhile, Spike sat in a dark room, tied to a chair. He looked out of the tiny window and saw nothing but stars. Everything was quiet. Spike slowly looked down at the floor and remembered hearing Faye's tiny voice as he was being carried away. 'Don't worry Spike! We'll find you!' it made him feel sad, but happy at the same time. Happy because he knew his friends would save him, but sad because he was far away from them. And surprisingly, Faye was the one he missed the most.
Mikako interrupted his thought as the thick, metal door slammed behind her. She walked into the room and walked towards Spike, with her arms crossed.
"Let's put it this way." She said. "You and your little girlfriend lay off and leave us alone, and you can go home and kiss as long as ya want without me to interrupt."
Spike smirked. "Girlfriend? She just happens to be one of my friends. She isn't anywhere near girlfriend."
"Either way, she's still rude."
"I don't think you're the one to talk."
"I'm a terrorist. A wanted bounty. It's my job to be rude."
"I've heard better comebacks from a pickle."
Mikako's face tightened. "Well?! Are you taking the deal or not?"
"No."
"Fine then. You stay here and work for me, and you get to live."
"No deal."
"Even if I pay you?"
"Not for a million yen."
"hm. You run a tough bargain."
"Got a problem?"
"Not at all. In fact I find this quite interesting."
"Oh yeah? And how's that?"
"look buko. I really don't want you here. To tell ya the truth I want you off my ship."
"They what am I here for?"
"To teach that little bitch of yours a lesson. It has nothing to do with you."
"hm."
There was a moment of silence. Mikako raised an eyebrow. "Reo!"
A screen popped up in front of Mikako and Spike.
"Hai!"
"Prepare a disquise for me. Hopefully I can get this one drunk enough so he'll agree."
"Right away!"
The screen disappeared as Mikako walked out. "I hope you like beer." She said, as she slammed the door behind her.
