Spike's Fish and Faye's Wrinkly Feet

Her eyebrow twitched furiously as pandemonium was behind her. She wanted her nice vacation with nice naps under a tree, starry skies and the vast open crystal clear lake. But she wouldn't get that kind of relaxation now. Faye wanted it bad... Fingernails dug in to her skin as the insanity refused to cease.

Jet sat on a pile of leaves, mourning the loss of is beloved alcohol. Spike, still being helplessly attacked, tried to escape the wrath of drunken Ed, but no avail. Faye decided she had to act now if she wanted her vacation to be like a REAL vacation. She immediately walked over to Jet and took the keys to the vehicle. She tossed them in her hands, humming a sweet tune. She ignored the sad sight behind her with a grin and a thought. "Sunny beach and tanning, here I come..." she spoke happily.

Just as she began to start the car, the park ranger came around on patrol. He gawked at the rather peculiar sight and decided to check if everything was all right.

"Excuse me miss," he politely began. Faye stopped in her tracks, and with a big long sigh, she hit her head on the horn. The horn held its blaring tune as her head lay on the steering wheel. After a long pause, she turned to see a very confused park ranger. Now frowning, Faye hopped out of the truck wordlessly. Inside she wanted to scream a big long "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" but she knew that would do her no good. She had lost her only getaway to the paradise vacation she had so badly wanted. Keeping her dull expression, she tore Ed apart from Spike and held her at her side. "Everything is fine, sir! No problems here," she tried to put on a smile as much as she could. The ranger merely nodded and walked along, afraid of what could happen if he stayed around longer.

An angry Spike came up from under the tent that was still not completed. He stormed over to her, "You!!! Why did u just leave me there? You're gonna pay-"

Before he could finish his sentence, Faye's facial expressions stopped him from saying anything more.

She gave him a tired dull, yet sad look. Faye turned her cheek and sulked towards the lake. Because of all the mess that happened so far, time wasn't on their side. It was getting dark now.

Leaving everyone behind seemed like the best thing to do for now. Walking the empty forest trail was calming. Faye gazed up at the forest's ceiling smiled at the beautiful sunset. Through the leaves of the trees was the most warming sky. It was a smooth blend of orange and yellow. It looked almost delicious enough to eat, like a citrus sorbet. Her smile slowly turned into a relaxed gaze. The trail seemed a tad bit lonely...

The dock of the lake was dreamy. Faye sat down over the edge, letting her bare feet bathe in the cool water. The view of the sunset was more breathtaking than the one from the forest trail. Suddenly, the sound of rustling leaves crunched behind her. She didn't bother to look, 'it's probably just some dumb animal' Faye thought.

Heavy footsteps clunked behind her against the wooden dock. It was Spike. Faye smiled inwardly, 'I guess I was right.'

The lanky man took her shoes to the side and sat in place of it. He too, wordlessly stared at the sunset with her.

**** At the campsite!

Edward swayed left to right in her drunken state as Ein watched her. His eyes shifted from left to right, from left to right, and from left to right slowly as he followed Edward's motions. Jet, finally coming to his senses, decided to just buy more whiskey later. Still bitter, he set up the tent.

Jet thought 'How could they not have been able to set this thing up?' His hands fumbled with the mess of tent material and several poles. "This is a tent?" he asked outloud. 'What the hell is this thing?' Jet moved the poles and such out of the way and took a smaller box from the truck. At the push of a button, the tent poofed into form in five seconds flat. Ah, technology...

Like a father, Jet picked up Ed from the ground. She shifted in his arms like a baby into a more comfortable position. Jet ducked at the tent's entrance and tucked Ed into bed. Now it was just he and Ein. The little dog followed Jet as he set up a campfire. Sparks flew and before they knew it, they had a nice cozy fire. Jet patted the dog's head and waited for his comrades to get home.

'I wonder where those two could be...'

**** Back to the dock

As the sun melted into the lake, the sky grew darker. The brilliant glow was now a dull haze of the sun's last light before nightfall. Spike stretched his long arms with a strained sigh. He took his gaze off of the sight before him and his eyes fell unto the woman next to him.

'She doesn't seem to bad...' He realized. She looked so relaxed and calm to him. She wasn't whining or the loud annoying woman he knew. But lord knows how she could get once she opened that mouth of hers.

Spike wasn't too good with words either. "Faye," spike began.

She looked up at him as he caught her attention. She wondered what he would say. Maybe it would be something actually nice or charming. Who knew? Sometimes Spike could be like that. And when he was, it was nice.

"Your feet are all wrinkly," he finished and began to laugh. Looks like it wasn't one of those times when he was charming...

Her face faulted at what he had just said. He had totally ruined the moment. But all Faye could do was laugh with him. "You know Spike, I think you're right." She kicked her feet out from the water, splashing water on to Spike.

He jumped at the cold water that wet his pants. "Hey! What was that for?" He took his blue jacket off and dipped his hands into the water. He splashed her too.

It was a big splash too. Faye decided to get even. The random water fight continued and continued. It had elevated so much that both of them were practically soaked. Finally, Faye tackled Spike off of the dock and into the water. But Spike wasn't going in alone, he took her down with him as he said "Oh no you don't!"

With the last giant splash, Spike and Faye tumbled into the water together. They swam to the shallow part and tried to squeeze the water out of their clothing. They both laughed at how silly they looked. Spike's afro was plastered against his forehead and a fish wriggled in his butt pocket. Faye laughed hysterically as he moved around trying to get it off of him. He grabbed it and it waved around in his hands. "Nice way to catch fish, Spike," Faye snorted.

He gave her a mocking look. Then, he just had an idea. He unbuttoned his shirt a bit and pulled it tightly against his body. "Look! It's that yellow thing you always wear!" Spike laughed. Faye scowled and grabbed his tie, choking him a bit. She laughed at how his laughter suddenly stopped. "Yeah, whatever. But I look better in it than you do" she said partially laughing. Spike joined in too, "I couldn't agree more." He was flirting a bit. All that fun earlier had got him into a good mood.

Spike looked up at the sky, "Well we should be getting back now. Hopefully Jet got the camped started."

Faye shivered. It was a bit cold now and she was still wet. "Yeah. I hope he got a fire started too." Just then, Spike picked up his coat from the dock. It was the only dry piece of clothing left. He tossed it around Faye's shoulders to keep her warm.

A little bit shocked, Faye gave in to a smile. "Thanks," She said with a friendly tone. It was at times like these that Spike didn't seem so childish and Faye didn't seem so loud. Her smile grew, "Save that fish. We could have it for dinner."

Spike grinned, "Dinner? I'm not too hungry. I lost my appetite after I pointed out your wrinkly granny feet."

Their friendly laughter echoed through the forest as they strolled back to camp under the dark, starry sky.

When the reached the camp, the found Jet with a roasting fire. "There you two are. Where have you been? And why are you two soaked?"

Spike held the fish up with a goofy grin. "We were fishing."

Jet laughed at their catch. "And all you got was one fish and a truck load of water." He gave them a light laugh, "That's the biggest accomplishment you two had done all day. Well go get dried of so we can have some dinner."

Now this is starting to look like a vacation...
