Author's note: Well, lets see what I can do with this chapter. It should be the last one.

Later that night, Jet approached Ara's bedroom door. He hadn't seen her for around an hour, neither had Faye. She wasn't in the kitchen or the living room, so this was the next logical place to check.

He stopped when the reached her door. He knocked softly and waited. When he got no reply, he knocked again, this time a little louder.

"Ara? Ara, are you in there?"

When he still got no reply, he turned the doorknob to find it unlocked. He slowly opened the door.

The room was dark except for a lamp, which was tuned on, on a small desk. On the bed next to the desk, Ara lay on the thick blanket. Both of her hands were behind her head, and her eyes were closed as she slept.

Jet smiled a small smile and walked over to the bed. He moved her arms to her sides, then moved her to one side of the bed. He then pulled back the sheets and blanket a little, then slid Ara into the bed, pulling the covers back up to her shoulders. He folded both of his arms across his chest, then reached down and ruffled her hair. Faye had cut Ara's hair earlier that day. It's wasn't that bad. It looked a little wild, but it was short enough to hide her identity. He replaced his arm back across his chest.

Ara rolled over in the bed so she was facing Jet, her hands under the blanket and pulling them up to her chin. She mumbled in her sleep.

"Daddy Jet.."

Jet was rather surprised by this; not only was she dreaming about him, but she also called him "Daddy".

The surprise wore off after a moment, and the small smile returned. He reached down again and pushed back a small, stray clump of teal hair that had fallen into her face. Then, after a moment's thought, he bent down and gently kissed her forehead. He straitened and shut off the lamp, then started to walk towards the doorway. Just before he left the room he paused, looked back at Ara, smiled, then shut the door behind him.

Author's note: Sadly enough, this is the last chapter. I think I did rather well, considering it was my first Bebop fic. Don't worry though, there are plenty of adventures left in my Cowboy Bebop universe.
