"Hey, Spike! Have you seen Faye? I can't find her anywhere on the ship..." Jet asked as he walked outside, only to find Spike.

"You're worried about her? She's a big girl... she can take care of herself..." Spike replied as he walked further into town.

"She took the Redtail, Spike! She doesn't know how to fly!" Jet shouted.

"No, she didn't... I've got the key..." Spike said as he patted his stomach.

"Do you mean what I think you mean, Spike? You better give me that key, or you'll get it..." Jet threatened as he caught up to Spike.

Spike turned around, and stared at Jet. After a minute, he started to hack something up his throat. He spat out the key, and held it in his hand.

"Spike, that's nasty. I don't want it now..." Jet said as he walked away from Spike, who swallowed the key once again.

All of a sudden, Spike and Jet heard somebody scream.

"Was that Faye?" Spike asked.

"I suppose... only because Ein can't scream like that... Let's go see what's wrong with her now." Jet suggested.

"Faye, what is it?" Jet asked as he walked onto the Bebop.

But, Faye was nowhere to be found.

"Uh, Spike... you may want to come and see this..." Jet said as he waved Spike over to the ship room.

"What is it now?" Spike asked as he walked into the room after Jet. "Wh-Where's my ship?"

"Faye..." Spike and Jet said at the same time.

"Well, would it surprise you?" Jet asked after a minute.

"Not really... but, it was mine, after all... I've got to go and find her." Spike said as he ran to the control room of the Bebop.

"Spike, wait a minute! I have all the equipment to help track her! All I have to do is type in your name, and your age... simple, right?" Jet asked as he typed in Spike's name and age into his computer.

"There she is... around Earth... that's where she wanted to go, isn't it?" Jet asked as he looked up at Spike, who was over Jet's shoulder.

"Whoa... that's not right... where did it go? It disappeared..." Spike noticed as he pointed at the screen. "Do we have anyway to contact her, Jet?"

"Yeah, hold on. We can see her without her knowledge. Just a second, and... there!" Jet said as he typed in some more junk.

"Ah, man! I'm not going to get to Earth with all this gunfire to Spike's ship... somebody please help me!" Faye screamed as she stared into the dark sky of space. She hadn't even noticed Spike and Jet were watching her.

"Let's go, Spike! She could die!" Jet said as he marked a course leading to Faye.

"Whatever... let's just hope she doesn't use my ray gun... heaven knows I could use another problem..." Spike said to himself.

"Faye, are you there? Can you hear me, Faye?" Spike called out into the communicator that Jet let him borrow.

"Spike? Spike, is that you? Please help me, Spike..." Faye said faintly on the other line.

"We're coming, Faye, hold on..." Spike replied.

"Spike, we're going into hyper space now!" Jet called from the controls.

"Let's go, Jet!" Spike shouted.

!@#$%^&*

"Faye? Where are you?" Spike muttered to himself as he scanned the sky for his red ship. They had just come out of hyper space, so Spike and Jet were a little sick.

"Spike, I found it! It's right over there!" Jet said as he looked at a map displayed on the screen of the controls.

"Alright, I'm going out. Catch ya later, Jet!" Spike said as he ran off for an anti-gravity suit.

"Spike, hold on a second! At least take my communicator..." Jet said as he threw it to Spike.

"Thanks a lot, pal... I'll be back..." Spike said as he put on his helmet and walked to the door.

!@#$%^&*

"Faye, please let you still be alive..." Spike said as he floated in midair towards his ship and Faye. "Faye, if you're still there, just say something..." he instructed on his communicator.

"The Real Folk Blues..." he heard Faye sing in reply. She sounded very faint, but he could still hear her well enough.

"Faye, I'm coming..." Spike said as he reached his ship. Parts of it were floating aimlessly in space, but he didn't mind. All he cared about was finding Faye.

"Faye! Faye, are you okay?" Spike asked as he shook Faye when he finally reached her.

"I only want to know what true sadness is..."Faye sang.

"Sitting in muddy water isn't such a bad life..." Spike sang.

"If it ends after the first time..." they finished together. Then, Faye fainted.

"Jet, I've got her! Get over here so we can get her medical help!" Spike said over the communicator. He looked around the rubble of his ship to find an anti-gravity suit, and finally found one. He put it over Faye, and moved toward the direction of the Bebop.

!@#$%^&*

"Will she be fine, Jet?" Spike asked behind Jet as he wrapped Faye's forehead with bandages.

"She's going to need lots of rest, but she'll be fine..." Jet said as he cut off the end of the bandage.

"Come on, Spike... let's get to bed... I'm beat..." Jet said as he finally finished taking care of Faye.

"No... I'm staying right here with her. I've done this before, and I'm not going to leave her side..." Spike said as he sat across the table where Faye was resting.

After a moment of Jet clanking around, getting ready for bed, the ship grew quiet.

"I'm glad you're alright, Faye..." Spike said as he got up and kissed Faye on the forehead. He got a small blanket, and laid back down on the couch. He stared at Faye for a moment, then fell asleep.
