"Howdy, bounty hunters! It's time for another episode of Big Shots" The
Bebop crew sat in the living room with the TV on. Spike reached over and
turned up the volume. "Today we've got only a few little fish for you,
starting with Jayden Wilber worth $12,000."
Spike yawned. "You've got to be kidding me. That's not the best they've got, is it?"
"Let's hope not, I need to eat." Faye said, pulling out a pack of cigarettes and lighting up. "Hey, 15,000 isn't that bad, right?"
"Please, that's nothing." Jet said. "We need to buy food and fix up the ship. We are looking at. at least 2 million."
"Well, it looks like there won't be anything even above 19,000." Spike sighed. "Looks like we aren't eating this week."

Session Three:
Knowing Faye Valentine.
***
Faye sat in a bar, sipping a beer and looking around. Maybe the boys didn't want to go after a small fry worth 17,000 but she was not going to stay in that ship for a week with those three. She glanced at her bounty head and smiled. This would be easy!
She stood up and walked towered him, only to bump into a woman. "Watch were you're going." The woman hissed. Faye glared down at her and gasped. The woman had long brown hair and green eyes. Faye knew she had seen this girl before but she didn't know from were.
The woman must have recognized her because she gazed at Faye as if she were a ghost. "Faye? Faye Valentine?"
"How do you know my name?" Faye asked.
"It's me. Terry Moore."
"Terry?"
"You don't remember me? We were on the space ship when.. Well, you know. IT happened. I was woken up a year ago, they told me you were already awake."
"I. I think I remember." Faye thought hard until she could see Terry's face, smiling from the seat next to her's. "So what are you doing here?"
"Just getting a drink. It's weird. Everything has changed since then, hasn't it?"
"It sure has."
They stared at each other before Faye remembered that she had a bounty head to catch. "I really must be going now, Terry."
"Well, here." She handed Faye a small piece of paper. "I live a few blocks away, if you feel like visiting sometime."
Faye nodded and walked towered her bounty head.
*** COWBOY BEBOP ***
Faye lay on her bed, her mind traveling back and forth. Mot of her thoughts fell on what she remembered. There were parts that were still very blank in her mind. She pulled out the paper and thought for a moment before getting up and walking to the living room.
She saw Spike and Jet sitting and watching "Big Shot". "Guys, I'm heading out for a bit." She said.
"Don't stay out to long," Jet said, "we are heading to mars soon."
"Got ya." Faye was about to leave when she heard.
"Our next bounty is Terry Moore. She's worth a big five million!"
Faye spun around and gazed at the picture of Terry. 'This can't be right'. She thought. She ran out of the ship.
As soon as she got to Terry's place, she knocked hard on the door. Terry answered to find a gun pointed at her head. "Faye? What the hell?"
"Why is there a five million bounty on your head, Terry Moore?" Faye hissed. Terry smirked.
"You heard about that did ya?" She sighed. "Please let me explain, Faye. Come in." Faye followed Terry in, putting her gun away. "Would you like some tea?"
"I just want answers, Terry." Faye said, sitting at a table across from Terry.
"Well, what all do you want to know?"
"Why is there a bounty on your head? Why can you remember everything and I can't? What.. What happened to everyone?"
Terry took a deep breath and began. "I'm a bank robber, Faye. It's an old habit that I can't break. I robbed a big bank, and got a pretty nice chunk of change, hints the five million. I don't know why you can't remember everything.. Something worse must have happened to you that didn't happen to me."
Faye sighed and looked at her with sad eyes. "And. and everyone else?"
Terry opened her mouth to speak but suddenly the door broke down. Terry pushed Faye down to the ground and brought the table with them, which was used for a shield agent the bullets that came flowing at them. Faye and Terry began to fire back.
"It's no use." Terry said. "I'm almost out of bullets. Faye." Terry put a hand on her shoulder. "I don't know what happened to everyone. But I can give you an address. 52 Maple. You'll find all the answers there."
Faye gazed at Terry. "Terry, thank you."
"Don't think of it. Now get out. There's a fire escape; you can make it, Faye. Hurry!"
"I can't leave you here, Terry!"
"You have to. There's nothing left for me. I remember you when you and I were little. You had so much love, Faye. Give that love to someone. GET OUT!" With that, Terry shoved Faye towered the window. Faye opened the window and turned just in time to see a bullet hit Terry in the arm. She hissed and looked at Faye, eyes narrowed. "GET OUT!"
Faye obeyed.

Faye looked up at the small house at the address Terry had given him. She sighed and walked over to the door and knocked. An old woman answered the door. "Yes, may I help you?"
"Yes." Faye said, softly. "I was sent here.. By Terry Moore."
"Oh, Terry! How is the girl? Come in, come in." The woman moved aside to let Faye in. "Now, why did Terry send you miss.."
"Valentine.. Faye Valentine."
The woman gasped and gapped at Faye. "Faye? Well, I'll be damned! Faye! How good to see you! You don't remember me, I guess, but I knew your mother and father."
"You did?! Can you tell me what happened to them?!"
The woman sighed and shook her head. "They died shortly after your accident. A drug overdose. You might not know this, Faye, but you mom and dad really loved you. After what happened. Well, they both just lost it! They both started doing drugs, and that was the end of them there."
"So, it's all my fault." Faye said, a few tears fell down her face.
"Oh, don't say that, Faye. You couldn't stop what happened."
Faye bit her lip and nodded. "Can.can you tell me were their graves are?"
***
"Here Lies: Amy Elizabeth and Alexander Jason Valentine: Loving Mother and Father."
Faye read the gravestone as tears fell down her face. She fell to her knees and cried a much-needed cry. It was all her fault.. It was all her fault.. It was-
"Faye?" Came a voice. She knew who it was so she didn't look up.
"What is it, Spike?" She asked, still crying.
She felt a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry."
Faye looked up at him, and smiled softly. "Shouldn't you and Jet be off by now?"
"Couldn't leave without you, could we Faye?" She smiled and kissed her forehead. He held out his hand to her and she took his hand. He lifted her up and they walked towered his ship.
"Thank you, Spike." Faye said, laying her head on his shoulder.
See ya, Space Cowboy.
*** NEXT SESSION:
Well, it's been a lot of fun, but only two more sessions left. When an old enemy takes a newfound love, Spike will do anything to get it back.
The next episode of Cowboy Bebop: Blues Traveler, The Real Folk Blues, Part One.
Spike yawned. "You've got to be kidding me. That's not the best they've got, is it?"
"Let's hope not, I need to eat." Faye said, pulling out a pack of cigarettes and lighting up. "Hey, 15,000 isn't that bad, right?"
"Please, that's nothing." Jet said. "We need to buy food and fix up the ship. We are looking at. at least 2 million."
