Spike wakes up feeling even more refreshed than usual. He looks down and sees Faye in his arms. He smiles as he watches her sleep, looking like an angel. It has been a week since they told each other about their feelings for one another. And now, they barely spend any time apart. Faye wakes up and kisses Spike. "Good morning, Spike," Faye says. "Good morning, beautiful," Spike replies. Faye smiles as she gets up and dresses.

Jet is making breakfast when Faye and Spike come out. "Good morning, you too," Jet says. "Good morning, Jet," Faye says back. "Where are we heading now?" Spike asks. "Mars. An old friend of yours is causing problems again," Jet replies.

"Oh, yeah? Who?" Spike looks interested, yet a little nervous. "No, he couldn't be alive. I killed him myself," he starts thinking. "Vicious," Jet says. Faye looks at Spike, who might as well have been hit by a load of bricks. He would have had a better reaction. Spike shakes off the initial shock and walks back into his room.

"What do I have to do to kill him? I almost gave my own life to end his, and he still lives." Spike sits down on his bed, desperately trying to gather his thoughts. Faye knocks on the door and opens it slightly. "May I come in?" she asks. Spike just nods his head. Faye walks in and sits down next to Spike. "I know what you're thinking. Please don't go after him again. I thought I lost you last time. I don't want to feel like that again."

Spike looks up at Faye. "Faye, I don't want to go either, but I have to. I swore on Julia's grave that I'd hunt down the man responsible for her death, and that man is Vicious. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to stop until one of us is in a wooden box in the ground." Faye starts to cry. Spike wipes her tears away. "Please don't cry. I'll come back, I promise." Spike kisses Faye, holding her close, knowing he might have to break that promise.

See you, Space Cowboy...
