Chapter Two

The air in the Rainbow Pub was smoky, and smelled of alcohol. There were men with horrible scars on their face. There was a large, muscular man with a tattoo of a pig on his arm that was staring at Percy. This made Percy feel uncomfortable. This was no place to be for him, especially at this time of nite. He started to look for the woman named Faye Valentine. Edward had described her to Percy earlier, but Percy couldn't quite remember what Ed said she looked like. "Gosh darn it!" Thought Percy, "I knew I should have written it down. I suppose I can wait. Ed said that Faye would make a big scene...?!!" He turned around and saw the man with the pig tattoo on the ground with a gun to his head. The person who threw him down, surprisingly, was a woman! He stared at her with awe, then with curiosity. "Why would anyone that pretty where something as sleazy as that yellow. bikini?" As he looked at the woman more, the descriptions that Ed gave him became clear again. This woman in the yellow outfit with suspenders was Faye. Shyly, Percy went up to her. "Um. excuse me, Faye?"

She turned around. She was cute, her red lips, her big beautiful eyes, her long, long legs. "Yeah, what is it kid? Can't you see I'm busy?" Oh! What a wonderful day! She acknowledges his presence! "Ah, Faye.um, Ed said that I could come with you guys. Can I go with you back the, uh, Bebop?"
"What? Ed said what?!" A Scowl came onto her face. "Look, I'm sorry kid, but we don't take stragglers. Why don't you go back home?" "No! You can't send me home! You don't know what it's like! I'll do anything if you'll just let me come with you!"
"Well," She was tying up the Pig Tattooed man just as two new guys stepped into the Rainbow. "Hey! Why don't you ask Jet? He's the Baldy." "Hey! Show some respect Faye! We could just take you out ya know."
"No, you won't ever. You need my feminine presence." "What feminine presence. You're about as Feminine as this guy here." Said the Spiky haired guy.
"Wait!" Shouted Percy, "Before you keep on fighting, can you let me on your ship? Ed said I could come with you guys! Please! I'll do my share to the ship work! Just get me out of here!" "Nope, I'm sorry kid. We just can't." Said Jet, picking up the pig tattooed man. "We just can't take anymore people." The trio left him, in the smoky pub. It was all right though. Percy wouldn't have them leave him alone for long.
