"Faye, I won't let them do anything to you!" Spike said to himself, or at least was himself. Suddenly, the mysterious man came up on the little screen that was in front of Spike.

"You're wrong again, kid... tsk, tsk, tsk..." the man said.

"You give her back, now!" Spike shouted.

"Well, since you asked so nicely, here you go..." the man said as he walked away from the screen, and kicked Faye out of his ship. "Just to let you know," he said as he started to talk into the screen again, "she doesn't have an anti-gravity suit on... catch her if you can!" Then, the screen went blank.

"Faye!" Spike shouted as he saw Faye, floating in space, gasping for air.

As Spike was drawing closer to Faye, she fainted. "Faye, please don't die!" Spike pleaded to himself.

He managed to catch Faye on his ship, but the only problem was he didn't know how to get her on.

"Hold on, Faye!" Spike said as he piloted to Mars.

~!@#$%^&*

"Doctor, is she going to be okay?" Spike asked as he ran toward the doctor who was working with Faye.

"I can't tell yet, son. You have to wait in the waiting room. I'll do everything I can." The doctor replied.

When Spike walked into the waiting room (reluctantly), he laid down on a couple of chairs.

It's a shame what happened to her, huh, Spike? "Huh? Who are you?" Spike asked the mysterious voice. I'm Jet. You know, in the future, you and Faye won't even like each other... the voice said as it chuckled.

"Whoa!" Spike shouted as he jerked up. He was sweating, and breathing hard.

"Kid, are you alright?" a man sitting next to Spike asked him.

"Are you Jet?" Spike asked the man.

"No, my name's Roco," the man replied.

"Oh, sorry." Spike apologized.

Spike got out of his chair, and walked to the clerk sitting at the front desk. "Excuse me, do you know how Faye Valentine is?" Spike asked the woman.

"No, but you may go and see her if you like. It's room 214. It's down that hallway, and to your first right." The clerk said.

"Thanks." Spike said as he walked down the hallway the clerk said to go down. As he walked closer and closer to Faye's room, he saw people with blood everywhere, and heard screaming women. He shivered at the thought of what was happening to them.

When Spike finally reached Faye's room, he knocked on the door softly. He then opened it, and saw Faye sleeping silently. He closed the door behind him silently, and walked towards Faye's bed.

"Faye, I'm sorry. I should have gotten here sooner." Spike said as he took Faye's hand. Then, he saw the door open. It was a woman with flowers.

"Excuse me, but is this Faye Valentine's room?" the woman asked.

"Yes, it is. Can I help you?" Spike asked as he placed Faye's hand back on the bed.

"Well, these flowers came for her. Here you go," the woman said as she handed the flowers to Spike. She left, and closed the door behind her.

Spike decided to see who the flowers were from, but he didn't see a card anywhere. So, he decided to give the flowers to her himself as soon as she awoke.

Spike pulled a chair closer to Faye's bed, and stared at her. "I'll whistle my favorite tune for you. I don't have any words for it yet, so be patient. Here we go..." Spike said as he took a deep breath and began to whistle his own tune, which he called The Real Folk Blues.

!@#$%^&*

"Spike? Wake up, Spike!" Spike heard.

"Huh? Oh, Faye..." Spike said as he sat up and looked at Faye.

"You sure like to sleep a lot, I guess... Why are you in a hospital bed? Did they hurt you, too?" Faye asked as she saw Spike in a hospital bed next to hers.

"I dunno..." Spike shrugged.

"I think I know why. Look at your left arm, Spike." Faye instructed.

As Spike looked at his arm, he noticed there was a cast on it. "I s'pose it got broken. Funny, I never noticed." Spike said as he lifted his arm up.

"You mean, all that time, you never felt any pain, or seen any blood?" Faye asked in amazement.

"I guess not. I was too worried about you, Faye. I'm glad you're still alive." Spike said as he put his arm back on the bed.

As Spike looked at Faye, he noticed she was looking at him in awe. "What's wrong?" Spike asked her.

"Nothing..." Faye replied as she took her eye off of Spike and looked down at her bed. "It's just that..."

"Huh?" Spike asked in question.

"It's just that... nobody would've done that for me. Because I have no family or friends. I've been lonely my whole life, or as long as I can remember." Faye replied as she started to cry.

"That's not true, Faye. You do have a friend. Me." Spike said firmly. Faye looked up at Spike with tears in her eyes, and she felt one fall on her cheek.

"Thanks, Spike." Faye said as she leaned over and hugged Spike. He put his right hand on her back, and laid his head on her back.
