Hum ho hum, I think I carried on a bit too much in the beginning of the last chapter…

Leslie, I've only ever eaten on egg roll, but I agree, egg rolls rock thank you. Thank you Alonea, that's my first from you! Cowgirl13 my first from you as well, thank you so much.

Oh and did I say that the shoping scene was sort of inspired by a picture of Spike and Faye shopping that I have? Spike is holding two paper bags of food and Faye is holding two bags four boxes and a hat box looking thingy. (she didn't buy food) She's wearing this white dress and she looks like she's about to trip and drop all the boxes, because they're all stacked up in one arm, and Spike is like glancing at over at her.

Gloria G.

After getting the call they sped home on Faye's motorcycle. She had half a mind to lean back in his arms. No chance in hell I'm gonna do that! She scolded herself. It was more like this instinctive reaction to lean back.

A smirk spread across his face as a thought dawned on him, Doesn't the guy usually drive the lady around? Lady? He snorted and remembered the last time he thought that. Well, Faye really isn't one to capitalize on the frailty of women, at all. Its like she feels that she has to be tough all the time…

Jet was outside hanging laundry on the clothesline. Ed was sitting meekly in the round, woven laundry basket, staring off into space and looking miserable. Jet had asked her to look up bounties until Spike and Faye got back. Immediately she found a 612,400 woolong bounty. It was the best one in the area so Jet had decided that that would be the one that they would go after. As he called Spike and Faye, Ed had decided to sit around and wait for the food.

As leaned back in the basket and looked at the sun and the wisps of clouds that sailed through the sky; she was hailed by a memory of sunlight and warmth and a woman...

She sky was so blue and she could remember feeling an over whelming sense of peace and security. She was lying on something soft and springy. It was a blanket on the grass. And the air smelled so good and filled her nose. There was a woman who sat on a fold out stool next to her. She hummed softly as she dipped a brush in various colored liquids and drew the brush over and back and forth on a canvas set up in front of her. At that moment she made sound and the woman looked down at her. The woman's skin was pale and soft, her eyes kind and inviting, were a brilliant green, just like the trees in her picture. Her hair was fiery red and very curly. It was pulled back into a low ponytail and hung halfway down her back. The woman leaned down and picked her up off the blanket and cradled her. Strands of the woman's hair tickled her nose, a beautiful smile breaking open on her face, wide and brilliant.

Ed rocked in the basket and still staring and sang softy, "Glorious Gloria! Arty marty."

"Huh? What'd you say Ed?" Jet asked Ed looking at her as she smoothed a sheet on the line.

"Oh much of nothing Jet-Jet!" she said staring down the road waiting for Faye to bring her some food.

"Oh." Jet said blinking and then bending over and picking up one of Spike's shirts and then hanging it.

As Jet was abut to hang another shirt Ein's ears perked up and cresting the small rise came Spike Faye. Ed stood up and waved her hand and danced wildly nearly crushing Ein.

Faye looked at Bebop, outwardly she frowned, inwardly she smiled, this was home it wasn't so bad. The motley band of ragtag people that lived with her weren't so bad either. And she had Spike back with them…she immediately felt warm inside. She ended that train of thought. She pulled up next to where Jet was hanging cloths. She leaned the bike slightly to one side and put down the stand, "Where did Ed go?" she looked at Jet. She couldn't se Ed.

Right then Ed popped up balancing on her feet on top of the windshield. Faye was so surprised she jumped back on top of Spike and she nearly knocked them off the bike. For some reason the only thing Faye could think of was that Spike still had is arms around her, and how close Ed's face was.

"Faye-Faye, Faye-Faye have you brought Edward some food??" There was a bark and Spike and Faye turned their heads downward at the same time and there was Ein staring pleadingly up at them They looked at each other and what kind of positions they were in dawned on them. They hurriedly let go of each other and both scrambled off the bike almost tripping on each other in their rush. Ed jumped off the bike and started sniffing for the food. Ein barked as he stood near one saddle bag. Jet chuckled at the whole scene.

Ed immediately pounced on the saddle bag and tried to rip it off the motorcycle, Faye noticed this and yelled, "Hey! Ed!" she undid the saddle bag and held it eye level by one strap. The bag slowly rotated with Ed's teeth still clamped on to the flap, her feet dangling 5 inches off the ground. Somehow she managed a bright smile at Faye. She tried to say something but she still had her teeth clamped on the flap.

Faye smiled wickedly, "What was that Ed?"

Ed let go of the flap to repeat what she said, "Faye-Faye, what Ed said was.. Oooo!" she wined when she realized that her food was walking away from her. Faye had slung the bag over one shoulder and was making her way into the Bebop. Ed trotted after on all fours followed by Ein.

Jet looked at Spike who was watching Faye try to shake Ed off her leg and get through the door at the same time. Spike pulled out a cigarette and lit it.

"So what was that all about?" he asked Spike.

"What was what about Jet?" Spike replied exhaling.

"Ok. Fine." Jet said to Spike as he made his was into the hanger after Faye because he was hungry after all that shopping. He had watched her buy all that food and was now going to go eat some. Those egg rolls were sounding pretty good. He turned around and yelled at Jet, "Hey! Jet! What's this bounty?"

Jet turned from the close line and yelled back, "I'll tell ya when I'm done!"

Spike walked into the lounge and saw Ed hanging upside-down form the table in the center of the room eating crackers. She held one out to Ein, he sniffed it and then took it gingerly from Ed's fingers and chewed it daintily.

He leaned over Ed and looked down at her crumb dusted face and said, "Hey, Ed pull up the information on the bounty you found." he decided that he wasn't willing to wait for Jet.

"Righto!" she said sitting up and wiping the crumbs from her face. She typed rapidly and a file appeared on the screen. A this moment Faye walked in munching on a tuna fish sandwich and leaned over Spike to get a good look at the bounty.

The first thought that struck her was that this guy looked really good. It must have been the eyes. They were very dark brown like a brownie, almost to the point that they looked kind of black. And his hair… well his hair…um anyways… She might not like most men and definitely didn't trust them, but that doesn't mean that she still couldn't think that some, are, for lack of better description hot.

"Damn." she said. Spike swiveled his head around to see her eyes glued to the screen.

He didn't see the big deal with this guy. "Faye we've been after a lot of guys who were way worse than this, you know." he stated.

"No. Not that." she said quietly eyes still glued to the screen, and whistled.

What? He suddenly felt this nagging feeling in the back of his head and it annoyed him that she liked this guy. Or at leased thought that he was cute or whatever she thought. "well we still gotta go get him." he said stubbornly.

"Why?" I mean we already have enough food for a week." she said standing up and crossing her arms and looking at him with one eyebrow tilted.

"Because you're going to spend all your money god knows when , probably tomorrow. And no one has any money except for you and Ed and God knows where ed put hers. Plus repairs for my ship and this hunk of junk." She didn't see the any real need to go after this guy.

She huffed, he had a point. "Fine. I suppose that you'll need my help on this one." she said loftily, as she walked away and put her hands behind her head. She plopped down on the chair and resumed eating her sandwich, "When are we going?"

He growled, "I'm going when I'm ready."

She stood up, "Sorry, Lunkhead you know that you can't handle this guy by yourself!" she said brightly as she waggled a finger in font of his nose.

He swatted at her hand and turned away, "Fine."

"Where was 'Shain' last seen?"

"Chain 13." he said hands behind his head. "Yesterday."

"Your ship can still fly can't it?"

"Yeah, just needs a tune up."

"Ok, see ya in a few." she headed off up the stairs still munching on her sandwich to get ready.

Through Spike and Faye's conversation, Ed had been typing away on her computer goggles over her eyes, and every once and a while singing softly about Gloria.

NFA: Ok Shain was seen on Chain thirteen. Um, the way I have this set up in my head is that Ganymede is an all water satellite and has large manmade islands/or archipelagos/ or islands and archipelagos that are connected together. Each thing forms a Chain. For unknown reasons not all of the chains are inter connected, but anyways the place/section/district where Shain was last seen was Chain 13. I don't think that that's how the creators have it but that's how I made it work. PLEASE REVIEW!

I hoped that everyone enjoyed this chapter, I tried to do some Ed stuff. I hope that you liked it.

Thank you Strife21 and Kyra for their reviews, without which certain quotes in this chapter would not be possible. And to Hally! (go Hally!) Who helped out as well! ^_^ and Amber. Thank you!
