"Finally! We can get off this planet! Are you ready, Spike?" Faye asked as she, Ed and Spike left the restaurant which they got food for the trip.

"Uh, yeah, I guess..." Spike said unassumingly. He had been feeling a little bit uneasy with Faye ever since earlier that day.

"Edward wants to come too! Can Edward come?" Edward asked as she came out of nowhere behind Spike.

"I'm sorry, Edward, but there isn't enough room. There's barely any room for me and Faye as it is." Spike apologized.

"Oh, Edward understands. Well, it's getting dark, so you may want to rest at my house for the night. There aren't anymore hotels or inns on Earth anymore. So, if you want to do that, or you can leave." Edward said as she walked in the direction of her house with her head low.

"Oh, Edward, we would be happy to stay the night at your house! Heaven knows I could use my beauty sleep." Faye said as she walked up to Ed.

"Huh? Oh, okay, I guess..." Spike said as he walked slowly behind them.

As Spike, Faye and Edward walked to her (Edward's) house, Spike thought it was a little too quiet.

"Hey, listen... do you guys mind if I whistle? It's too quiet..." Spike asked.

"Sure, Spike-person!" Edward agreed as she looked behind her and Faye.

So, Spike whistled his tune, carefully followed by the ears of Edward and Faye.

"Spike, that was good! I think I've heard it somewhere before, though... I can't remember..." Faye said as she gave a little nervous giggle.

"Oh, that's kinda funny you mention that..." Spike said with a nervous grin.

"What do you mean by that?" Faye asked.

"Oh, nothing... nothing at all..." Spike said. "Ed, are we there yet?"

Nobody replied. Spike looked next to Faye, and saw that Edward wasn't there.

"Edward?! Where did you go?" Faye shouted as she cupped her hands around her mouth.

"Edward left Spike-person and Faye Faye a long time ago!" Edward's voice said. "You guys just didn't pay attention!"

"Edward, where are you?" Spike shouted.

"Edward's right here!" Edward said as she popped up out of the ground.

"Uh, Edward, I have a question... Do you live in the ground?" Faye asked with a blank face.

"Uh-huh! Well, sort of, at least... It's okay, Faye Faye... you won't get dirty." Edward said as she walked closer to Spike and Faye. They (Spike and Faye) gave each other a blank face.

"Did Edward make much sense just then? Oh, well, it happens often! Come on!" Edward said as she once again took Spike and Faye by the wrists and ran in the direction which she popped up.

!@#$%^&*

"Well, Ed, thanks for all your help. I'm sorry you couldn't come with us, but we'll come and see you again in the future. Goodbye, Edward." Faye said as she gave a flower she found to Edward.

"See ya later, Ed. Thanks, again." Spike said as he gave Edward a kiss on the cheek.

"Bye, Spike-person and Faye Faye!" Edward said as she watched Spike and Faye sit down in Spike's ship.

~ Spike's Ship ~

"Man, I'm really going to miss her." Faye said as she looked out the window down to Edward, who smelled the flower Faye had given her.

"How about Venus next? I heard there are some good restaurants and nice people there. How about it, Faye?" Spike asked as he started his ship.

Spike had heard Faye start to sing.

"Too much time has passed by to lament that we were deeply in love." Faye began as she closed her eyes.

Spike immediately knew where he had heard that song before. It was his song that he always whistled, The Real Folk Blues.

"The wind keeps blowing, while my heart cannot heal all the tears in it. Someone, cry for me with parched eyes..." Faye sang the second verse.

At the same time, Faye sang "The Real Folk Blues", while Spike whistled the notes.

"I only want to know what true sadness is... Sitting in muddy water isn't such a bad life..." Faye sang while Spike whistled.

"If it ends after the first time..." Faye finished at the same time Spike did. Faye then opened her eyes, and looked at Spike. They both smiled at the same time, and left the planet Earth.
