Serenade of a Lost Cowboy

Disclaimer: I don't own cowboy bebop yada yada yada. Also Spike is dead, don't expect me to bring him back because im not going to do that. If that appeals to you fine, if it doesn't, that's fine too. Don't flame me for my beliefs. Also I don't believe that Faye liked spike, he was her comrade, one of two people she had left that's why she was so sad when he left to fight vicious once again don't flame me for my beliefs.

His final words were still ringing through her mind repeating itself over and over again. "im not going there to die, im going to find out if I really am alive." The tone of his voice still freshly planted in her mind. That was all that she could hear since he had left. Faye had thought about it all week, it hadn't seemed like a week more like a day at most if not a couple of hours. "the foods ready!" called Jet from the kitchen. "My specialty bell peppers and beef." She held back a grimace as she realized that it didn't have any beef in it. I even miss him complaining about jets terrible cooking. She got up from the table and walked to her room on the bebop.

    "was it something I said?" jet asked himself tasting a bell pepper from his meatless dish. "Its way too quiet without you old buddy" think of all the bonsai trees i've butchered since he left to fight Vicious?" Life definitely hadn't been the same without spike on the ship. He browsed through his computer hoping to find some new bounty that could bring in some cash when he stumbled upon the name. "Zendar Ranolial worth 7 million for mass murder" he said to himself. Faye's gonna be heartbroken, she wont want to leave Mars… I guess I wont tell her."

    She wiped her tear-stained eyes as she felt the bebop start to move. "WHERE THE HELL ARE WE GOING JET? WHAT ABOUT SPIKE!" she screamed at him. "Faye, you know just as well as I do that he's not coming back, he's dead….. he would've been back by now." He said quietly hoping not to offend her. "but what if he's not dead?" she started choking back her tears. "He could just be too injured to contact us." She said not really buying it herself. "You know that's not true Faye, there's nothing we can do about it. We need money, I found a bounty on a guy that's worth 7 million on Ganymede well come back here after we catch him.  "I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN BE SO DAMN RELAXED ABOUT IT!" she said with a tear dripping down her face. "Faye, do u know how many of my miniature bonsai trees i've butchered since he went off to face his past? About 20 we have to get some money don't you realize that?"

    She walked back to her room, the hole in her heart seemingly starting to grow. Spike, why'd you just throw your life away like it was nothing. We were comrades, me, you, and Jet. Why couldn't it have stayed that way? Why'd you have to go off to die? A tear started to drip down her face as she laid down and went to sleep.
