Chapter Five: The End of Destiny

After looking all over the ship, Spike could not find Faye so he went outside for a cigarette*. Looking up he finds Faye on the top deck of the Bebop. Faye is looking out at the sunset. Somehow, Spike manages to climb onto the top deck without Faye knowing. Faye is struggling with something in her hands. Slowly approaching Faye, Spike comes up behind her and snatches the thing from Faye. Spike was very surprised to find that it was the same unopened pack of cigarettes that he gave to her in the hospital.

"You struggling with a moral dilemma?" he asks her. Faye was shocked at Spike's appearance but her spirits were too low to be filled with joy. Then Faye chuckled. "This pregnancy is just too slow. But I've bide my time with the ponies…. What are you doing here?"

"Being a chased mouse," said Spike.

"So you're only here for a day, are you?" Faye asked looking down.

"Depends on how badly this guy wants me dead," Spike said. "I may be stuck here permanently." Faye smirked. "You find being here with me much better then?"

"I'd rather die on a full stomach, Faye. You know that." That's when Spike and Faye laughed together at the same time. Then Faye had to stop in her laughter. "Ow. Damn it! He's kicking again." Faye was of course preferring to the baby.

There was unemotional silence and then, "Aren't you going to miss him?"

"Huh?," asked Faye.

"I mean. Once he finds new parents. Aren't you going to miss having a family?"

"I've learned to live with my situation. Families come and go for me. I guess I'm not meant to settle. You see why I don't feel comfortable here. Eventually, Jet's gonna ask me to leave."

"He wouldn't do that," said Spike.

"What makes you so sure?"

"I'll pay him to keep you here. And throw in a bit of meat now and then to feed my starving dogs."

"So now, we're your dogs?"

"Well, you and the kid and Ein's already a dog." There was a bit of confusing silence and then Sam rushed up to the deck. "Someone's bombed the Syndicate."

Sure enough watching the news Sam and Spike could see the emensive amount of damage that had been done to their Red Dragons headquarters. Half of the people inside died mostly involved with the syndicate. Ed, Faye, and Jet were watching too and were very concerned. "Spike, it's really to dangerous to even go back to the Syndicate now," said Jet. "His brother really has it in for you."

"Whose brother?" asked Faye. "What are you talking about?"

"Evil Vicious Brother!" said Ed in a menacing tone. "Wants Spike-person dead," in a sad tone.

"I use to enjoy the thrill of the jinx, but now it's getting annoying," said Spike.

"Well, that's settles it then. We're setting outta here now so that we can all lay low. It's what we do best."

Sam asked, "They don't know about the Bebop, Spike? You don't think they would know where to look to you." Spike scratched his head. "I do kisses, not tell things."

Soon, the Bebop was flying into space. Faye came to Spike as he was looking out a window into the starry neverland. "I never knew Vicious had a brother," she says. "I never knew his brother was just like him," said Spike. "We're here to help you Spike. I killed Vicious didn't I?"

"Oh yeah, and how are you gonna do anything carrying a giant basketball in there?" asked Spike pointing to Faye's stomach. "It's not even that huge!" said Faye.

"It's due in three months!"

"In four months!"

"Whatever. Either way, you'll be so big that you'll be in the way!" Ein was sleeping in a corner. His head bobbled up and down at the argument rising.

"Me in the way?! Why do you have to know everything about me?! Like Whitney, my past, and the baby?!"

"Because you wanted me too. You've been giving me hints Faye. You can't hide yourself from me."

"I'm gonna try," Faye stormed away down the hall. Jet slowly walked over to Spike and Ed was doing backflips by them as she singed, "Welcome home, Spike-person!"

Great huh? *Now come on, isn't it funny that nearly every chapter I'm writing opens with Spike smoking a cigarette? It's sounds like an interesting trend to aim for. Well please R/R. This could really use some reviews!!!
