"JET PERSON! JET PERSON! MESSAGE! MESSAGE FOR JET PERSON!"
The singsong voice resonated through the sleepy corridors and permeated the walls to the sleeping quarters. Soon the surprised snorts and huffs of the rudely awakened crew were replaced with grumbles, groans, and eventually snarls. The young girl seemed unaware of the change in attitude and continued to skip down the hallway, her red hair flaming and flying wildly and her bare feet hammering out a drumbeat on the metal of the floor. Following closely behind her was her canine companion, his stumpy little legs scurrying as fast as they could move to keep up.
"JET PERSON!" The girl began to sing her song once more, nearing her destination. "JET."
"Damn it Edward! What the hell is wrong with you! It's four in the morning and I just got to sleep!" A disheveled and extremely angry woman stuck her head out of a door and glared at the girl with a look that would have withered any average person. However, the girl simply dropped placed her hands on the floor and bounced towards her.
"Morning morning Faye-Faye! Jet Person has a message and it says urgent durgent," Ed sang cheerily.
"Don't give me that 'morning' bullshit Ed. It's far from it and you need to go to bed and stop waking everybody up. Give Jet the message in the morning. As in after 10 in the morning morning!" Faye glared at the child and ran her fingers through her tangled purple mane. Adjusting her green robe with her free hand, she opened her door and stepped into the dim hall. "I'm going to the bathroom. You'd better not be here when I get back or else."
"Or else what?" A sleepy voice drifted down the corridor, followed by the sound of slapping feet. "What's going on here, Faye? What's with all of the commotion?"
Faye glared angrily at the groggy man before her, clad only in sweatpants. His rumpled appearance and glazed eyes did nothing but annoy her and she snapped, "It wasn't me Lunkhead! I just got to sleep and Ed decided that some stupid message was worth running around and screaming like a damn animal over. I'm the one that tried to shut her up!"
The man scratched his wild mop of green hair and looked curiously at the oblivious girl who was now seated on the floor at his feet growling at the dog. Faye's emerald eyes glinted dangerously as she watched Ed play. "Damn it Ed! Stop playing with Ein and get off the floor! You woke us up so it had better be one hell of a message."
"Hey you two! What's going on out there?" The third member of the crew lumbered towards the group in the hall, one hand rubbing his eye and one hand gripping a pistol. "Can't a man get a few hours of sleep? It's bad enough that I had to stay up practically all night fixing your mangled ships.can't you go four damn hours without bickering? Spike? Faye? Can't you?"
Faye's mouth dropped open furiously and Spike shifted his puzzled look towards the rapidly approaching man. "Why you! We..." Faye began to speak, but was interrupted by the sudden movement of Ed.
"Jet Person! Tomato has a message message for youuuu!" She bounded out from between Faye and Spike and ran over to Jet, latching herself onto his leg and yanking on his sweatpants.
Jet glanced questioningly at the two adults standing behind the gleeful child, and reached one hand down to secure his slipping waistband.
"So it wasn't you two after all," he mused. His eyes twinkled slightly as he noticed Faye's miffed expression and he leaned forward to detach Ed from his leg. "This had better be a good one, Ed," he warned.
"It is is is!" she sang as she grabbed Jet's large hand and attempted to drag him off towards the living room. Ein yipped and scurried along behind the retreating pair, his toenails clicking on the metal of the floor as he ran.
Faye turned and stared at Spike. "You know," she said harshly, "you COULD have given me some help there rather than just standing and staring. I'm not exactly in the condition to be dealing with yelling children."
"Like I am?" he asked sarcastically. "You know the three things I hate."
Faye snorted. "Yeah, yeah I know. Animals, kids, and women with attitudes. Well, this woman would have less of an attitude if you wouldn't have just stood there staring stupidly." She whirled on her heel and stormed towards the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.
