Well, here's chapter 3, in record time too, just weeks after chapter 2,
which came months after chapter 1. Yay for Mikey. A new fanfic after
Wrath of Ed will be written, rest assured, and it'll probably be some kind
of crazy crossover. Now, without further adieu.
Part 3: The Promise
Jet was pissed, oh yes was he pissed. He hadn't eaten in days, Spike and Faye hadn't returned with the bounty, Ed crashed his ship, and, to top it all off, his carefully tended trees were starting to die. "Dammit, what did I do wrong? I've fed them, I've watered them, I've trimmed them. damn!" What Jet didn't realize was that his plants had caught a rare disease during a recent excursion to Mars. fatal, too (to the plants, that is). "Aaagh! Where are those two!"
Spike and Faye were still in the restaurant. But instead of enjoying a lovely meal, they were scrubbing dishes. Apparently in their desperation for food they forgot how broke they were. "I can't believe this! We should be tracking that bounty head. he could be long gone by now!" Faye griped. "Hey, whatever happens, happens. Besides, that WAS a pretty good meal," chirped Spike. "You! If you wouldn't have spent the last of our money on cigarettes-!" Now Faye was pissed. "Just drop it, Faye." Too bad they were washing dishes as opposed to bussing tables in the front were there was a window, otherwise they would have noticed to old pick-up truck their bounty was reported driving moving past the eatery.
They also might have noticed Ed, who was riding in the back. She knew this area well, and watched as the truck turned down some familiar roads. Lucky day for Ed, the truck took her pretty close to CompuGlobe's underground building (a skyscraper would get pounded by constant meteor showers, duh). She got out and began walking through the wasteland.
Jet's plants weren't getting any better, and Jet was getting hungrier. He looked around the room. There was Ein. Yummy, delicious Ein. "Wait, Ed would kill me! Oh, but she crashed the hammerhead. Nah, I can't do it. maybe as a last resort." Then he looked at his bonsai trees, his poor doomed little babies. "Well, there pretty much dead anyway." He got his last can of soy sauce he was hiding from the others and poured it on his trees. Bon appetite.
Mikey sat at his desk and typed. He liked to type just for the sheer joy of typing. Plus, it made him look busy. Being the owner of a huge monopoly and all, this was important. But now he was getting a bit bored. "I could use some fresh air", he though to himself. He pushed a button on his P.A. "Maggie, I'm going out. Hold my calls. Oh, and happy birthday, don't celebrate do hard." He made a drinking motion with his hands. Pity no one was around to see it. And yeah, he's a bit of a jackass. "Yes sir," was the reply. "Yay, now I don't have to deal with that annoying S.O.B." she thought to herself.
Ed saw him walk out of the freight elevator to leads in and out of the building (one could call it a shelter, even). "Mikey Mikey Mikey Mikey Mikey Mikey!!! ^_^ " Ed shouted in glee. "Huh, do I know you, young man?" Mikey replied. "Um, Edward is a girl! You promised me, remember!" "Huh, Edward, where have I heard that name before. oh shit!" he thought. It dawned on him.
A few years back, Mikey was just a normal teen with a computer and some novice skills in net diving. He met Ed through net diving and was intrigued when she told him that she built her personal OS from scratch. Tomato Operating System was a very flexible, very user-friendly OS that was not only good for net diving, but could be used for anything from bank telling to highly encrypted military systems. Just imagine how much money a guy could make with that! Mikey told Ed that if she gave him the rights to her system, that he would pay her back somehow. "Well, Ed always wanted Ed's own T.V. show!!!" "Alright, it's a promise," Mikey said.
"I can't give her her own T.V. show! Think of the profit losses!" He though. "I'm sorry, young man, but I've never seen you before in my life. Now if you'd excuse me!" Ed winced. "But Mikey-person promised-" "I've never seen you before and I never made you any 'promises'! Now get out of my way!" And he walked off.
Ed was a bit mad, a bit disappointed. "I'll get you, bad Mikey-person!"
Ooh, a threat from Ed, scary! BTW, a shoutout to muh friends, Maggie-chan and "Satan Online", his first name won't be said here, as well as Augie from norom forums for her review. Thanks! Stay tuned for chapter 4!
