It's been a long time. I'm having a great time, spending it with Jet, Spike
and Faye. Uhh, other than the fact that I've been near death more than
once. But when you got the luck I've got well, you tend to get used to it.
And I have strange feeling that this wasn't gonna be the last time I have
an adventure like this. Well anyway, it's one of those days again. No
bounties, no nothin' it seemed like an eternity of nothing. Everyone was
bored as heck. They went to gamble their worries away as usual. I stayed
behind. Heh the chief is gonna get real steemed again. But if it wasn't for
mom, well I woulda been fired a looong time ago. Well here I am. An NYPD
officer out bounty hunting with his friends. Who by the way, I gotta clear
their names when we get back home. Well you'd think we'd actually get
endless adventures and get ourselves into crazy mishaps and stuff. Anyway
Spike is one of my...well distant friends. He doesn't really give a care
about me. But I know he does heh heh. Jet, he's an ex cop who helps out
Spike in his bounty hunting. He's a great guy, and I consider him my
mentor. A man that's wise with words and situations. He's a great guy.
Faye...Faye Valentine. She's a real fickle woman. But one thing's for sure
is that she's my closest friend. She's someone I would trust my life with,
cause I happen to have saved hers *sweatdrop* Well anyway she's a real good
woman and friend. And I'll truly miss her if I ever left. Which I know I'll
have to pretty soon... And Edward. Ah dear ol' Edward. She's a pretty smart
gal if I do says so myself. She's one smart cookie and that's just putting
it bluntly. Well anyway Ed's been my best bud since the very first time I
met up with the gang. I owe her a lot. Ein, the dog that scared the rice
cakes outta me! That dog has been my nightmare for a good while. And I'll
never forget his first words to me. "Woof" Oh my god that tortured me so
much. And finally Kitt. My new partner thanks to Edward! Although I'm gonna
change him back to his old body once we get back home. I only hope I can be
as great as Michael was. Anyway so as I was sayin' this is my crew. These
are my friends. And we, are the Cowboy Bebop.
It was one of those boring days. I woke up, as soon as I did...I had a strange feeling. A feeling that I haven't felt before. Something was gonna happen today. Something big...something bad...anyway I shook it off. I didn't take the feeling too seriously. After all I'm not really the psychic type. He reached over to the coffee table as always. Reaching for my glasses and putting them on. I yawned and prepared myself for another everyday routine. Little did I know that something was gonna go on. Something I'll never forget. Soon enough the morning went by like a flash. I found myself grumbling and looking all over the place for my magnum revolver. I looked all over the place. When I finally found it, I found out that half of the day already went by. Spike...Spike was out for a long time. I haven't seen him all morning or all day. I sat down at the couch and then I saw him. I saw Spike. I was gonna say my every day greeting of Hiya! Or Hey! Instead I kept silent. The look on his face, was like nothing I ever saw. Something was up I knew it. He walked away without a word. Before I knew it Spike was leaving. He had something to take care of. Something from the past...something he wasn't gonna come back from. I knew it. I watched him talk to Jet briefly. He then walked away. I ran towards the docking area of the ship. I stopped suddenly as I heard a couple of gunshots. I shrugged and continued running. I finally arrived there to see Spike climbing onto his space cruiser type thing.
"Spike!" I yelled out to him. He turned around to look at me. The look on his face didn't change. I took off my trench coat and tossed it over to him. He blinked and looked at it.
"Your trench coat..?" He asked a bit confused.
"Somethin' to remember me by. Ya know you weren't always a pain in the arse Spike." I told him with a smile. Spike let out a small smile and took off his trench coat. He put mines on dropped the other one. He gave me a thumbs up.
"Take care kid." He said climbing into his space cruiser. I backed away.
"Say hi to Frank and dad for me!!" I yelled out to him. I never knew if he heard me or not. Cause I never saw him again after that.
*~~~~~~~*
The Bebop was never the same. Not without Spike. Ever since he left, the smoking increased. It only stopped when I couldn't breathe anymore. Although we had our funny moments. Faye sometimes called me a weird Earthling and such. And the only thing I found out Jet liked about Earth was New York in the 1980's he said it was more interesting. We never really got into the subject of Spike. If it somehow got brought up, we usually ignored it or something. Anyway a few days after Spike left it was a little like old times. Minus one of coarse. Faye, filing her nails. Jet, trimming his plants. Me, watching TV. Nothing really out of the ordinary. Although, on that same day. I knew it was gonna happen. I didn't expect it happening so soon.
"Gian, come over here for a second." Jet said. He waved for me to follow him to the cockpit. I blinked as he showed me what was up. There, in front of me, through the ships window was that giant blue berry of a planet. Earth.
"We're here.." I said. I couldn't believe it. I was home. After all this time. I was home.
"Do you want to go back home? Or do you want to keep bounty hunting with us? It's entirely up to you." Jet told me. I wanted so badly to stay. I wanted to be with Jet, Ein, Edward...Faye...I looked at the Earth. It looked so much more older. I knew once I went down there, I'd have to find the same rip I landed through to get here, to go back home. I would leave this time. And never see anyone again. But I didn't belong there. I belong in my own time, in my own place. I nodded my head to Jet. I knew he could tell I really didn't want to.
"We're gonna miss having a cop like you around." Jet replied with a snicker. I smiled back. I wanted to savor that moment. It was the last time I'd ever get a joke from Jet not to mention the first time.
*~~~~~~~*
"So your really leaving? You too?" Faye asked. I nodded. I could feel the Bebop landing in the Hudson River. "Yea, it's about time I get back home." I said. I didn't want to leave her, everything that we've been through. We're war buddies after all. We were supposed to stick together. But I didn't belong in her time. And she didn't belong in mine.
"I want to thank you.." I said to her. She had had her eyes locked onto the floor. Not looking into my eyes. I could imagine she went through the same thing with Spike.
"For what?" She asked. She didn't want to go through this again. I didn't think she realized that it was killing me as much as it was killing her.
"For being there. For actually trusting me." I said. She smiled still looking at the ground
"Hey don't mention it...take care of yourself." She replied. She then turned around and walked away. She left me and Kitt alone in the docking area. She was leaving. After this I wasn't going to see her again. If I didn't do anything at that moment, I would remember that for our last moments. Over the months spent on the Bebop, I hadn't realized how much I'd miss everyone. Especially Faye. I had been doing bounties with her, living with her also. But I never thought of her any differently than anyone else on the crew. She was almost out of site. This was it. Was I going to do something? Was I going to let her go? Was I going to tell what I thought I felt? What I'm feeling now?
"Faye!!" I yelled out. She turned around and saw me running towards her. When I reached her I panted looking down at the ground. I looked up at her blushing.
"I love you.."
Those three words were the only words that came out of my mouth. I then quickly leaned in and kissed her. I didn't care if she slapped me, told me how dare I? I just wanted her to know how I felt. How I felt all this time. What I'm giving up...to go back home...instead of slapping me, I just felt her lean into the kiss. Soon enough, after it...I found myself in her arms in tears. She was the closest friend I ever had in my life. I'll never forget her either. Soon enough, the whole gang was their to bid me farewell. I shook Jet's hand firmly. I ruffled up Edward's hair and let her cling to me again. I petted Ein kindly. And then I moved on to Faye. She suddenly hugged me. I hugged back and bit my lip as she whispered something to me. I said my good byes to everyone one last time before getting into the DeLorean and flying out of the dock.
"The rip is right in front of us Gian." Kitt said. I nodded. And soon enough we hit 88 MPH. I looked back one last time before the DeLorean and I disappeared with fire tracks behind us.
*~~~~~~~*
That's it. A year has passed on now, and not a sign of them. I was back in my time, before the Earth was all corrupt and such...before the Bebop. I moved back with my mom and I luckily got my job back. I couldn't help but miss my friends on the Bebop though. I looked at a picture that hung on a wall in my room. It was Spike, Jet, Faye myself, Kitt, Doohan and Miles. The DeLorean brought back too much memories so I had arranged for Kitt to get his old body back. The black Trans Am. I leaned back in my chair in my room. I could still recall the words Faye said to me...three words that I thought I'd never hear anyone other than my mom say. 'I love you..' I sighed and looked up at the ceiling and pointed my index finger straight up at the ceiling. I smiled.
"Bang.."
