"Alright everybody grab a seat this is going to be bumpy." Jet said.

"Something tells me were gonna land both illegally and dangerously." I said shutting my eyes.

"You got it." Jet said.

After all the crushing, scraping and breaking sounds I opened my eyes. I was slightly bleeding from my head. I looked around. Spike, Jet and Faye laid on the floor completely out cold.

"I always told them, put on the seatbelts." I sighed. I looked for Ed and Ein.

"HII!!"

"WAAAA!!!!!!!!: I screamed in surprise. I turned around and there they were. Ed and Ein I sighed in relief. "You look like you made it alright. You okay Ed? Ein?"

"Yup! Ed and Ein found something hard and steady to hide under!" Ed said. What an idea, I should have stayed with them. I then went back to the trio to make sure they were alright and living. They were okay, despite cuts and bruises. I decided to take a look around. I pressed the button for the door to open. It let out a loud buzz.

"Gian Gian has to open it up by force." Ed said. Keeping an eye on the crew. I nodded and kicked the door open. Well I ended up breaking the door down. When I looked out, the scene made me want to kill myself.

"Oh sweet mother of pearl." I said to myself grimly. Ed popped up beside me.

"What is it Gian Gian?" She asked. I pointed to where we landed.

"Ohhh, that's not good."



I was scared out of my mind as I

"Where the hell!? Why the hell!?...What the hell is going on here Carlo!?!?" The chief yelled at me. I was shielding my eyes from his evil stare with my hat. My new found friends were behind having front seats to the scene. "Explain yourself officer, why have you landed in the middle of the Hudson River!?" He yelled. I could tell he wasn't very happy. "And while your at it explain why you haven't shown up for work for a year!!"

"Well.uhh..sir..ya see.umm." What could I tell the man? I woke up one day and found myself here? He'd never believe me! But like a miracle from above Jet stepped forward.

"Listen here, we found this guy on an abandoned on a ship and we found him. It looked like he was kidnapped because his father had some history with the Mafia." Jet explained. Well that WAS the truth.sort of. The chief looked at me and then my friends. He sighed heavily.

"Your lucky you're the best we've Carlo. Fine you're your still on the force. But we still have to explain to the press how and why a space ship landed in the Hudson." The chief pondered this as fast as he could. You could literally hear the news vans racing over here.



"What's gonna happen to Bebop?" Jet asked me. I smiled sheepishly.

"Well.it's gonna get impounded."

"Well, it looks like we're stuck here." Spike said looking around the landscape of New York. Obviously not even the least impressed.

"Where exactly are we gonna stay?" Jet asked me. I turned around to face him, at the same time walking backwards.

"Well since you guys don't have any money, and I don't want you guys to give the police department a bad first impression I'm gonna take you to my house." I said.

"Say what?" Faye asked from behind. I was gonna respond but Ed literally danced around me.

"Yay!! We're going to Gian Gian's house!"

"Well, that's the only way I can keep an eye on all of you." I said. To tell ya the truth, I really couldn't think of anything else at the time. But to my surprise they didn't seem to mind at all.





"Mom! I'm home!" I called as if nothing happened. Suddenly A blur approached at lightening speed, before I knew it I was in a tight hug by.well who else?

"Hi mom!" I said as she squeezed the life out of me.

"Oh my son!! I'm so glad your okay!!" She sobbed onto my uniform. I didn't care at all. It was sooo good to see my mom again.

"I'm fine mom, I missed you!" I said trying to keep myself from crying. And as always, count on Spike to ruin a moment. With a rough and raspy (and obviously on purpose) couch me and my mom quickly assumed our normal stances. My mom looked over at me.

"Aren't you going to introduce me to your new friends dear?" She asked with a smile.

"Oh yeah! Mom these are my very best friends. They kept me safe until I came back. This is Spike, that's jet, this is Faye and that's.." I looked around quickly to see that my hacker/buddy was gone. Suddenly I knew I shouldn't have, but I looked up. There she was hanging from a pipe on the ceiling. Suddenly she let go.

"Weeee! Catch me Gian Gian!!" She cried out in joy. I didn't have time to think. I quickly extended my arms as she quickly landed in them. My hat slanted over my eyes so all I heard was her giggling. Sheesh I wonder what my mom had to say. Suddenly a familiar hand took off my hat. Apparently it was Ed she put it on and smiled her smile while she kicked in joy.

"Mom, this is Edward." I said to her with a tired smile. She seem to giggle. Why? I guess I'll never know.
