Tuesday:

In the lounge of the Bebop, the sound of the clock is the only thing that disturbs the silence of space.

Tic .. toc ..tic .. toc .. tic .. toc ..

'Only five days, six hours and twenty-five minutes until we get to Mars...'

Tic .. toc ..tic .. toc .. tic .. toc ..

'Only five days, six hours and twenty- four minutes until we get to Mars....'

Tic .. toc .. tic .. toc .. tic .. toc ..

'Only five days, six hours and twenty- three minutes until we get to Mars..'

'Pokey ... pokey ... Pokeeeeey ...' Chanted Ed as she sat next to the comatose-looking man on the couch and started poking the side of his cheek, trying to get any signs of awareness out of him.

'Faye-Faye, what's wrong with the Spike person?'... 'Pokey... pokey ... pokey ...'

'Maybe his body finally realized his head was lacking a brain and it has reacted accordingly' muttered Faye as she steped into the lounge where Spike lay on the couch, staring at the ceiling in a motionless manner.

'Where's your braaaaaaaaiiiiiiiinnnnnnn...Spike person?' sang the red headed girl as her pointed finger buried itself in his mop of green hair. Suddenly loosing interest, Ed extended one of her legs to the opposite direction and turned on the TV on the table...Big Shot was on.

'Only five days, six hours and nineteen minutes until we get to Mars.'

'Now that you mention it Ed, he has been acting weird since yesterday.' said Faye as she approached Spike. She noticed him a little pale, his eyes a little puffed and .. what was that shadow under his eyes? Dark circles!? She came dangerously close to him and stared right into his eyes... and all she got back was a blink as he stared blankly. Faye just continued to examine his face as her eyes narrowed and her nose wrinkled.

'You know what Spike, for looking so bad you don't smell half as bad as you usually ...' her lips stopped moving an her eyes widened as all the evidence started to make sense in her head. Spike was always unbearable, but yesterday, after Jet jumped into hyperspace he was furious. Now, a day later, he was comatose. Also, upon closer examination he looked like crap, but he didn't smell like crap, in fact, he smelled like clean laundry...that only left one conclusion ....

'Spike was out of cigarettes!'

Faye's mouth formed a malicious grin that puzzled both Ed and Ein. She slowly distanced herself from Spike and sat on the opposite couch as she contemplated the endless possibilities of amusement this situation offered her, she was going to have fun with Spike and she knew it! Her imagination soared quickly, he brain firing images of Spike doing all sort of amusing chores for one little stick! Slowly, she reached into the pocket of her yellow jacket and she pulled out the little cigarette pack, she deliberately put a cigarette into her mouth and took out the lighter into her hand ..

Play-time was about to start in three .. two .. one . ..

Click ... click .. chhhhhhssssss ....

The sound of the lighter suddenly brought Spike right back into reality. He stopped counting the days, hours and minutes left to get to Mars and locked his eyes on Faye, but most importantly, on the cigarette pack Faye was holding between her fingers. Sitting on the couch facing him, she stared right back at him mischievously, crossed her legs slowly and said.

'Don't even think about it'

What happened next is hard to describe, in one swift move Spike jumped at Faye, knocking off the TV screen on the table where Big Shot was playing. Faye, not expecting his reaction, screamed and fell backwards on her couch. Ed, confused by Faye's scream, jumped on Spike's back and started screaming her lungs out. And Ein, probably more confused than all of them, started barking and running before he adhered himself to one of Spike's trouser legs .. fangs first.

Faye got up and started running all over the lounge with Spike after her, while Ed and Ein were still holding onto him! Jet, having just entered the lounge, found it all pretty comical since Big Shot was still playing on the TV and they were all running with the show's silly tune as the musical background. Finally, in one last, desperate attempt, Spike jumped and managed to grab Faye's legs. Faye fell onto the floor, with Spike, Ed and Ein on top of her! The blow was too much for her frame, she fell with a loud thud, her handgrip loosened and her cigarette pack slid free across the floor. The five of them stared as the little pack reached the other end of the room, but only Spike and Faye screamed as it went through the bars of the ventilation shaft . . disappearing out their sights forever.

A little bit before they all had the chance to digest what had just occurred, but right before all hell would break loose between Spike and Faye, Jet wisely and quietly left the lounge and quickly closed the door as he entered the Bonsai room ..
