A Reunion

A lonesome figure walks up to a ship parked in an airfield. He knows this ship well; it was his home for the last 2 or 3 years. Now, after a month gone from it, he returns to his friends. He silently walks in, as if he was a ghost. He looks around the corridors to see if anyone is around. "Jet and Faye must've gone for supplies," he says to himself. Spike decides to take a nap on the couch until his friends come back.

A few hours have past when Spike wakes up. Faye and Jet are staring at him. "Spike?!?" Jet exclaims. Faye walks away, not letting the others see her hold back tears. "Hey Jet." Spike says calmly. He sees Faye walk away and decides to follow her. He has something to tell her.

Faye closes her bedroom door and sat down on her bed. Shortly after, she hears a knock on the door. "Who is it?" she says, barely audible. "Spike," he says. Spike was surprised by her response; "Come in". Spike opened the door and sat down in a chair next to the bed. "What do you want, Spike?" Faye asks, avoiding eye contact. Spike reaches over and holds Faye's hand, then asks, "Why did you stay with us after all this time? You had plenty of money at times to run off and never come back."

Faye looks up at Spike, then starts to cry as she says, "Spike, I stayed all this time because..............I love you." Spike looks into Faye's eyes. "Faye.........." Faye leans over and kisses Spike. Spike holds Faye in his arms as they kiss. "Faye, I love you too." Faye hugs Spike as she hears him say that, crying even more now.

They sit in Faye's room for a couple hours, talking and holding each other. When they come out, Jet is making dinner. He looks up, sees them holding each other's hands, and says, "What were you two doing in there?" Spike and Faye look at each other, and Spike says, "We had something to tell each other." Jet chuckles, "Took you two long enough."

"What do you mean, Jet?" Faye asks, slightly irritated. "We just talked, nothing more." Jet looked at Faye for a second, and then said, "I didn't mean it like that. I meant it took a few months for you to tell each other." Spike and Faye look at each other again. "Was it really that obvious?" Spike asks. "Yeah, it was. Especially when you left last month, Spike." Jet replied.

After about an hour of catching up for Spike, they decided it was time to sleep, since they had just found a new bounty to chase. Jet and Spike went to their rooms, but Faye joined Spike. Jet gave another chuckle as he saw Faye slip into Spike's room. He could see that their new adventures would be more interesting now.
