"Wow. Who ever would have imagined me... a bounty hunter!" Spike said to himself as he walked down the street, dragging the criminal behind him.

"Did you hear about that kid? He knocked out Serefroo by his sling shot!" a man who lived in the city told his friend as he passed Spike.

"Excuse me, kid. But, I was wondering if I could get your autograph to add to my collection!" a little girl with pink hair asked as she stopped Spike on the street with a pen and a piece of paper ready.

"Sure! It might be worth something someday, ya know!" Spike said as he signed the paper and handed it back to the little girl.

"Finally, the police station!" Spike said to himself as he stopped in front of a pair of double doors stating 'Mars Police'.

After many questions by the police, Spike walked out of the station with a bag full of Woolong.

"Who'd guess this Serefroo guy was worth so much!" Spike said as he walked down the street, carrying the bag by the handle.

"You caught Serefroo? And, exactly how old are you?" a girl with purple hair and an orange head-band asked Spike.

"Yeah, I caught him. Why, was he our uncle or something? Anyway, I'm 10. How about you?" Spike asked the girl.

"No relation. I'm 10, too. My name's Faye Valentine. May I ask yours?" Faye asked Spike.

"Spike Spiegel. So, uh, I guess I'll be seeing you later?" Spike asked Faye.

"Yeah, I guess so. Bye, Spike!" Faye shouted as she ran the opposite direction.

"There's something about that girl. Something, but I can't remember." Spike said to himself. "Oh, well! I guess now I have to go to the bank, and cash in all this Woolong."

As night came, Spike sat down on a bench. Suddenly, something hit him. He looked to see what it was, and found a red splatter on his coat. He then looked around to find the direction where the paint ball had come from.

"Hello, again, Spike!" Faye said.

"Oh, it's you. Did you hit me with the paint ball?" Spike asked Faye, only because she was holding an enormous gun.

"You're so nice. Yeah, so what if I did?" Faye asked as she sat down next to Spike.

"Just asking. This is going to sound crazy, but I was wondering..." Spike began before being interrupted by Faye.

"Did you forget? Tonight is the Mars Festival! Let's go!" she exclaimed as she took Spike by the wrist and ran toward the center of the town.

"Wow!" Spike said in awe as they reached the festival.

"Yep. And guess what! You're the man of the night!" Faye said as she led Spike by the wrist to the center of the circle of people.

Everybody cheered for Spike as Faye let go of his wrist. Spike noticed the little girl with pink hair, whom he had given her his autograph earlier that day. She waved at him, and he grinned a little and gave a little wave back.

"Faye, can we please leave? I don't like crowds..." Spike said as he leaned closer to Faye.

"But, we have a surprise for you! Everybody has made a donation, and we have come up with enough to buy you your own ship! You can fly to any planet, now!" Faye said as the crowd went silent in order for her to tell Spike the good news.

"Whoa... everybody did this for me?" Spike said as he and Faye reached the red ship that was now Spike's.

"Yes. We were all so happy when we found out a kid stopped Serefroo in his tracks. At first, we couldn't believe it, but I did." Faye said as she looked into Spike's brown eyes.

After a moment's pause, Spike spoke up. "Uh, I wonder where I'll go now. I wish you could come with me, Faye, I really do, but..." Spike said as he looked up at the ship.

"I know. I'm sorry I can't come, too. Well, I hope you have fun wherever you are, Spike. Goodbye." Faye said as she walked away, slowly, looking at the ground.

"Faye Valentine, stay right where you are! You're under arrest!" A police officer said as Faye walked away from Spike.

"What? What did I do?" Faye asked as the officer put hand- cuffs on her.

"You stole that red ship over there, remember?" the officer informed Faye.

"No, she didn't, officer! The town made a donation, and they bought me this ship! Isn't that right, Faye?" Spike protested.

"Yeah, that's exactly right!" Faye said.

"Well, that's not how we have it! Come on, Valentine, you're coming with us." The officer said as he walked Faye to the direction of the Police Station.

As Spike watched Faye being walked away from him, Spike noticed something. On the officer's uniform, it only had the letters R, S, and the word Ice.

"R.S. Ice? Wait, I've heard that before!" Spike said as he reached for his sling shot. But, he was out of ammo.

"Faye! Kick your paintball gun over here!" Spike whispered to Faye.

"Why?!" Faye whispered as she looked back at Spike.

"Just do it!" Spike whispered.

"Fine!" Faye whispered as she untied her gun off of her back and kicked it behind her to Spike.

"Hey, officer! I have a problem!" Spike shouted to the officer.

"Yeah, what?" the officer asked as he looked back at Spike.

"I think something's jammed in my gun. Can you do me a favor and look?" Spike asked as the officer walked toward him.

"Sure, kid!" the officer stupidly replied.

As the officer was looking into the barrel of the gun, Spike pulled the trigger, making paint go into the officer's eyes.

"Way to go, Spike!" Faye cheered as she jumped up and down.

Spike reached for his sling shot, and picked up a rock off the ground. He shot it at the man's forehead, knocking him out.

"Excuse me, Spike... I need help!" Faye said as she turned around to show Spike the handcuffs.

"Hold on, okay? Let me find the key." Spike said as he searched the fallen officer for the key.

"Looking for this, kid?" an unfamiliar voice asked.

Spike looked around, and saw Faye with a hand covering her mouth. She had a panicked look in her eyes, and she was going to cry. Spike noticed the unfamiliar man had a key in his hand.

"Let her go!" Spike shouted to the man, who he guessed was the so called "officer's" partner.

"Too bad, kid. I really thought you and this little brat had a future. But, you won't after I kill her!" the man said.

Spike watched Faye as she was dragged to an unfamiliar ship with the mysterious man. He watched her until she could no longer be seen. The last image of her was she was saying something. But, Spike couldn't figure it out.

After a moment, he realized what she was saying. "Use your ship! That's it!" Spike ran toward his ship, and when he got there, it opened automatically.

"Hold on, Faye! I'm coming!" Spike shouted as he flew off of the ground, and out of Mars. "I won't let them do anything to harm you, Faye!"
