Disclaimer- I don't own Cowboy Bebop, nor any of the characters. I'm just borrrowing them for this story.

The Bebop crew sat at the old table and ate breakfast.

So, what's on the agenda for today? Spike asked as he placed his fork on his dish.

Well, I was thinking that you and Faye could take her ship to be fixed, Jet said. Then tomorrow you can teach her how to fly it.

I have a ship? questioned Faye.

Yeah, didn't I tell you that you were a bounty hunter? Jet replied.

Oh, yeah, Faye said as she finished up her breakfast.

Okay, I'll get ready now. When you're done meet me at the Swordfish, Spike said as he got up to wash his dishes.

she called as she walked around the ship looking for her crewmate.

I'm up here, he responded from the top of the ship.

Oh, there you are, she answered, feeling suddenly selfconsious of herself. She spent nearly an hour picking out an outfit for her day out with Spike. She decided on a plain white t-shirt that she found in the very back of the closet and a pair of tight fitting blue jeans.

So, are you ready to go? he asked as he jumped down from his perch.
she said simply.

Then the two got into the ship and he drove off with her ship hitched to the back of the Swordfish.

It took an hour to get to the small mechanic store.
So, is this is? she asked as she peered through the tinted mirror of the ship.
Spike answered as he hopped out and walked into the ship.

Hey, long time no see, called an old man from behind the dirty counter.

Is that so? said Spike casually as Faye walked into the door.

What's a pretty lady like you doing in these parts? the man asked curipusly.

That's no lady pops, it's Faye Valentine, called a man from underneath a ship across the room.

Hey buddy, if you don't shut up I'm going to make you eat those words, Spike said, obviously irritated by the arrogant man's words.

Make me eat me words? But they're all true, replied the man as he slid out from under the ship and got to his feet. Isn't that right Val?

Faye looked at the man nervously, she had no idea why he was looking at him like that.

Don't look at me like you don't know what I'm talking about! Alright, then let me refresh your memory. Three years ago, back on Mars, before Lucky Joes Cafe Gamling lounge shut down. You were in an awful amount of debt, I was a real good friend of Joe and I felt sorry for you so we struck a deal. You gave me one night, and I payed off all your debt. You still don't remember? he asked as he wiped his oily hands on his dirty denim jeans.

You were rather fiesty huh, how about we.... he was cut off by Spike.

How about you back the fuck off, Spike said defensively.

Faye just stood there, shocked, her violet eyes were rimmed with tears.

Excuse me, she chocked out as she ran back into Spike's ship.

Hey Faye? Spike called as he searched around the ship. He was surprised when he found her hunched up in the corner of the ship.

Oh, so that's where you hid, he said playfully as he lended her a hand so she could get out.

Ready to go? They said we could pick up the ship in two days, he said as she stepped out.

Hey, why are you crying? he asked as he used his fore finger to wipe the tears away.

Why didn't you tell me? she asked angrily as she pushed him away.

Why didn't I tell you what? he asked her.

That I was a whore! she said as she began to walk away from him.

Hey, where'd you get that idea? he asked stupidly and walked after her.

Why did you lie to me? What are you huh? All dressed up in that blue suit and lanky shoes? Probably my pimp, and what about Jet? Where you going to introduce poor Ed to the business also? You're really sick you know that! she yelled angrily before starting up again.

What are you laughing at? she asked as she folded her arms against her chest.

That's the most obsered thing I've ever heard! he said as he tried to stiffle the laughs.

Her face turned beat red as more tears traveled down her cheeks.

Listen to me, Spike said as he walked up to her and wraped her in his arms. You're not a whore, I'm not a pimp, Jet's not a pimp, and Ed is not a whore in training okay? I'm not lying to you, and I never will.

Then why are all my clothes so... she couldn't finish her sentance without getting all chocked up again.

I dunno, he said with a chuckle. But if you don't like them I'll take you to buy others okay?

she asked as she reluctantly looked up at him.

he said as he let go of her to ruffle her hair.

She didn't know why, but she couldn't stop blushing, there was somthing comfortably familiar about his embrace.
