Spike blinked rapidly.

"That's. Your home colony?" He sputtered out. Kaitlin sighed and beat her fist against the wall.

"Yes, it is." She murmured. "Kuso, I'm gonna get this guy..." Spike sighed and rubbed the back of his head, thinking for an eternity. Then, after an awkward silence Spike blinked and seemed to realize that Faye and jet were still there.

"You guys mind?" He said.

"Not very well." Faye said grinning. Jet, who got the point, grabbed her arm and walked off to the docking station; Faye shouting that whole way. Spike shook his head and turned back to Kaitlin.

"Look... I'm sorry about that. We'll go after him, alright?" He said. Kaitlin sighed again and smoothed a hand through her hair.

"Do you have any idea's where the heck he is?" She said. Spike shrugged.

"Never stopped me before. I'd guess off in the next colony or near there. They might be hiding somewhere in that vicinity."

"I guess your right." She said and sighed. Starting to walk towards to the docking station. Spike put his hands in his pockets and thought something to himself, waiting a few seconds before following her.





"What the?! What do you mean we can't take off!?" Kaitlin snapped at a man blocking off the docking port. The man shook his head.

"Listen, Lady, we can't let anyone leave the port right now. It's an emergency situation, no leaving the dock because of the syndicate accident earlier this week." He said. Spike blinked and rubbed the back of his head, thinking deeply. 'Hm. How to fool this guy. I know!' He grinned but then hesitated a little. Then put his arm around Kaitlin who immediately turned bright red, wondering what the heck he was doing.

"Well you see um.. Sir. well me and my wife came here for our wedding and I got injured in the syndicate accident and well.. You see I've been in the hospital for the week. And to make matters worse we found out the colony we grew up on was destroyed. It was Colony 64 and we really need to head out and see if out family somehow was able to survive.." He made his voice trail away as to egg it on. Nudging Kaitlin with his leg just to have her keep up the act with him. She blinked and suddenly got it and pressed her face against Spikes chest.

"Yeah that's right.. Can you please let us go? It's killing me not knowing if they're okay.." She muttered. Holding in a smirk. The man blinked and sighed.

"Well I guess under those circumstances.. Go ahead but don't you spread rumors about me letting you through." He said and sighed. Kaitlin grinned and pull her face from Spike.

"Thank you so much!" She said excitedly, exceeding her character for a second, but then, and by Spike pinching her back lightly, she acted like she was supposed to. " God Bless You. We need to hurry, Thanks again." She said and the two started to walk away. Spike removing his arm when they were out of sight.

"Spike.. Next time you remind me of something. Don't pinch so hard!" She bellowed. Spike grinned sheepishly.

"Yeah, well, I had to get your attention somehow." He said. Kaitlin grinned.

"Interesting way to get us out of that predicament though." She said and smirked evilly. Spike blushed a little.

"Well um... It's the first thing that came to mind." He said. Looking away from her.

"Aw, how sweet." Said a voice. Kaitlin and Spike spun around quickly and saw the Bebop docked with Faye on the hatch door.

"Shut it." Kaitlin muttered turning away. Spike waited for Kaitlin to turn to glare at Faye, but said nothing. Kaitlin looked around.

"So where's Swordfish?" She asked. Spike blinked, he was surprised she remembered the name he had told her during his week in the hospital.

"Should be around here." He looked around. Then saw it. "Here we are!" He motioned for her to follow and they ran over to it. Kaitlin blinked.

"Kinda a small cockpit." She muttered. Spike sighed.

"We'll make do. Hey didn't you have a ship?" He said. Kaitlin looked over at him and sighed.

"I did. It was on my colony." She looked up at Swordfish. "I caught a ride from a friend and ended up between you and Vicious' fight." Spike rubbed the back of his head.

"You know.. There is something we can do about that." He said. Kaitlin blinked. "Impossible. I'm sure the ship is totaled." "That's not what I'm planning." He said and smirked. "We can go out and buy you a new one."

"I really don't have the money." She said. Spike shrugged.

"I can give you any extra."

"From what I've heard you said you need to squeeze every Woolong." She replied. Spike grinned sheepishly

"Well. I have enough to help you pay for it I guess." He said. Kaitlin nodded.

"Alright then! Let's go get one and head out and get Gray!" She said happily. Spike rubbed the back of his head.

"Don't get to exited. We don't even know where he is." He said, but Kaitlin took no notice. She was already heading off to the nearest ship shop. He shook his head. "Cute girl but has the attention span of a gerbil.." He grinned and put his hands in his pockets, whistling a tune to himself as he walked in the direction Kaitlin went
