Searching For Gloria G.

Why didn't he come? What took him so long? Why do I bother? What made me trust him? I'm angry at him. (he saved you eventually, though). Eventually see? What did he think was going on?? That I was kidding? Or messing around? Oh my God does he think that…..? She was going crazy, trying to figure it out. She didn't know why, but the situation was driving her nuts. She flopped back on her bed and huffed angrilly.

Spike sat in his room trying to smoke calmly. He laid back on his bed and blew smoke out between his lips and watched it float slowly around the room. He wasn't thinking about anything in particular, of trying to. He absently wondered what it would be like to be smoke. Or air. Or a bed, or a shoe, or a tie. Probably pretty boring…he thought enviously. They didn't have to worry, probably didn't period, about feelings or people, or ideals, or anything at all. He sighed. What in the hell am I supposed to say to Faye? (Hey that rhymed!) Maybe I won't have to say anything at all. (maybe you better start thinking up a speech right about now) Why do I care..? he dozed off, cigarette burning in the ash tray.

When they had walked in through the hatch Jet stood up from his spot behind his computer and had given them quite a ranting. Spike shrugged it off and Faye seemed pretty ticked about something and tried to ignore him. And to punctuate the end of his speech he walked up the stars and pulled the credit card right out from Spike's unsuspecting fingers. He then walked off mumbling about how much trouble they were. He did not find it amusing-as Spike obviously did- that he had had to rewash and dry ALL the laundry.

Ed was sitting in front of Tomato goggles on her head in the tunnel just off the kitchen Ein sleeping on his side next to her. *you know the place they were hanging out when Ed got the mail during Perriot le Fou* She yawned widly. Since Spike and Faye had left she had been performing numerous seaches, automaitc and manuel, to try and find anything about Gloria. She remembered when she had told Father- person and MacApple that she was going to go off and look for Gloria.

________________________________________ _

Over the couple short months that she had stayed with them they had becomce quite a team and Father-person was quite proud of her. They had also had a discussion about Gloria. Ed understood fully why she had left and it was not because of her. Ed, when she thought logically could understand Gloria's reasons for leaving. Ed had commented that someday she would like to see Gloria again. Father-person had asked why she didn't call Gloria 'mother'. And Ed had commented as she stared up at the stars and what was left of the moon that Gloria was her name. Father-person had nodded understandingly. At first Ed had thought that staying with Father-person and looking for Gloria would work out just fine, but they were on the move all the time and so busy that she never really got to look very well. So one day she announced to Father-person and MacApple that she was leaving to search for Gloria, and that she might join back up with Bebop because she missed them as well. At that moment meteor hit not far away and the two men turned in that direction.

MacApple had jumped up into the yellow vehichle and started it up. Father person turned to her and said leaning down and putting both his hands on her shoulders, "Françoise be very careful, you know that we will be on Earth and you know the frequency to use to contact us if you need to." He hugged her quickly and jumped into the vehicle with MacApple. He waved back at her as they drove off across Earth's ravaged surface.

She yelled, "BYEbye Father-Person! MacApple!" She called waving back. She felt light knowing that she would see Father-person and MacApple again, and that she would find the bebop and they would be together, and that she might find Gloria. "Come on Ein! Bobop ho!" she yelled to the little dog. He barked tongue hanging out slightly and they trotted back twords the city that they had just left that morning.

________________________________________ _

Searching for Gloria had been harder than she thought that it would have been. She did not know Gloria's last name and Gloria probably looked different than what she remembered. She had searched many archives full of watercolor painters and paintings, but Ed only could remember one. She had searched through many Glorias and many Glorias that were artists, but so far nothing viable yet. She sighed.

"Ein…" she poked him and his ears pricked up. "Ein you want some cereal with Ed? Or doggie food?" He barked and stood up and sretched. "Yay!" she skipped until she heard Jet yelling at Spike and Faye and she froze mid skip and smiled down on Ein and they snuck by and into the kitchen.

She had no doubts that she would find Gloria sometime. No one Escaped Radical Edwards searching eyes.
