Actually we've been snowed in where I live in PA, and Monday we had off, Tuesday we left early, and today we had off too. ^_^' Haa-haa! Anyway…be sure to R+R!! Also, at the end I left a little blurb about a manga called Kimi wa Pet, also know as You're my Pet in English. You can download it in English off Ushi's site! Lots of people are getting into it. It's my favorite manga, and a nice switch from the ever so mass produced teen romance manga out that. +_+ Heh. Don't get mad, I adore Peach Girl and stuff too, but I really ADORE THIS SERIES! So, for those looking to get hooked on a really great manga, with no cost to you, DOWNLOAD KIMI WA PET! I gave a nice summery and all at the end of this chapter. ^_^'

Faye poked her head out of the shower and scurried to her room and shut the door. Spike was laying on her bed, flat on his back, hands in the air. He turned his head to the left and grinned at her. She smiled back. "Can you wait outside?" She mumbled, gripping hold of her towel. He nodded and walked outside, shutting the door behind him. She sighed and flopped down on her bed. Stretching her arms out, she reached up and grabbed hold of her pillow and rested her head on it. "You're here…you're alive…" She snuggled against the pillow and let out a shriek of joy.
++++++
Spike turned and opened the door a crack. "Faye, you alright?" he tried to see where she was.
Her face turned red and she nodded. "I'm fine Spike; sorry…it was a spider." She bit down on her lower lip and ran to her closet and looked inside. Rows of clothing that she never wore were placed on hangers. Many still had tags. "What will I wear…?" She mumbled and pushed a few things apart and stared at a white dress. It had thin straps and came down to her knees. Smiling she pulled it out of the closest along with a pair of sandals and then went to her dresser. Pulling off the towel around her head and scrunched her hair a bit with he fingers and frowned. Her hair had grown a little since Spike had last seen her. "Should I wear it down, or…" She trailed off and pulled her hair back and let some stray ends fall into her face. She smiled and sat in her vanity chair and began to get ready.
++++++
Spike yawned and tapped his head into the back of the wall a few times before knocking on Faye's door. She'd been in there for nearly an hour. "Faye, are you ready yet?" He growled. "Come on, you don't need to impress a dead guy—"
The door swung open. Faye stood in her white dress, and sandals. Her hair was pulled back in a messy bun. Her eyes shimmered with delight as Spike gawked at her. His lips parted and he eyed her for a few moments. "Come on dead guy…" She smiled and took hold of his hand.
Spike's cheeks turned a pale shade of pink and he nodded. "Sure, Faye..."
"Jet, I'm going out!" She grabbed her purse. It was a pale green and complemented the white dress nicely. Jet stood and blinked a few times when he saw Faye's hand grasped around nothing.
"Have fun!" He called as she shut the door behind her.
++++++
Everything froze again. Spike rolled his eyes. "Damn it Shin, if you bother me one more time, I swear I'll—"
"Do you want my help or not?" Shin barked. Spike closed his mouth and narrowed his eyes. "I'll make this fast…for Faye's sake you'll be seen. No one will know you or remember that you and Faye were ever around or outside today though…basically anyone who sees you, we go in and erase you from their memories."
Spike wet his lips. "So I can touch people other than Faye, and they can see and feel me?" Shin nodded and Spike brightened a smile crossing his lips. "Thanks I—"
"Spike…you'll be leaving tonight." Spike's smiled disappeared and quickly as it came. He looked at Faye, a smile wide on her face, her eyes sparkled with joy.
"Why? Why do I have to leave right away, she's so happy, I don't want to see her cry again—"
"Don't kill the messenger…I didn't make the decision." He bowed his head. "Just be sure you tell her sometime today, alright? Here, take these, they're tickets to a movie and the theme park past the casino hotels…"
Spike ripped them from Shin's hand. "I'm not leaving." Spike growled.
Shin stepped back and smirked. "Yeah you are, they'll bring you back, and you've got no choice."
"I'd rather damn myself to hell—"
Shin shoved Spike to the ground. He growled and jumped up to take a shot at Shin but he dodged it. "Shut up and keep what I told you in the back of you mind…" Shin narrowed his eyes and disappeared.
++++++
Faye looked down at her hand and frowned. "Spike, where did you go?" She turned around to find him staring towards the docks. He took big puffs of air into his chest and his fists were clenched. "Spike, is everything okay?"
He frowned. "Yeah, just fine Faye." She smiled at her and locked his arm around hers. "Shin just stopped by and told me that I can be seen by everyone for the time being." He sighed as they reached a red light. He stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her, holding her close to him.
Faye turned to see an old woman standing next to her. She smiled, but all the woman did was glare. "Kids these days," she muttered. Faye's eyes gazed in shock.
She smiled brightly, turned and kissed Spike. "They can see you!" She laughed and held onto to him.
Spike grinned. "You hope they can, otherwise you'll look like some psychopath…" She punched him in the side and he laughed. "So, how about a movie and then I take you to the theme park?"
Faye nodded. "That sounds fun." Spike laced his right hand with her left as the light changed and they hurried to the theater. The man stared at Faye and Spike as they walked up holding hands. "For two?" he smiled at them.
"Here," Spike handed him two tickets. Faye blinked at looked at him oddly. He chuckled. "Shin gave them to me." She nodded. "Same deal with the theme park tickets…I don't want to stay there too long though, is that okay?"
Faye nodded. "I can't go on many rides with this dress on anyway." She stared at her ticket as they walked inside. "That's right; you don't like those sorts of places, do you?" She smirked.
He blushed and nodded. "Come on, we'll get bad seats if we don't hurry." Faye nodded as Spike tugged her inside. Taking a seat towards the back, no one was in except for them. Faye smiled as Spike draped his arm around her.
"This is nice, normally it would be packed." She sighed and leaned into him as the movie started.
Spike just held her like that for the entire movie, afraid to move. He didn't want to leave her; he'd give anything just to stay.
++++++
"The swings!" she pointed towards the ride not far from the merry-go-round. Spike held a large stuffed teddy bear that he'd won for Faye when he played a shooting game. He smirked. "Let's go on this, I was on one when I was little, but that's it." Spike nodded as they got in line.
"That'll be two tickets each." The man mumbled as Spike handed him the bear to watch. Faye took his hand and tugged him into a seat next to her.
"Faye, you're wearing a dress…"
She looked at him oddly. "I'll be sitting down Spike." She laughed. Spike looked at his watch. It was already starting to get late out. He'd tell her after they left the park…
Faye laughed letting her hair fall loose at her shoulders. Spike smirked and looked down at the crowded theme park as kids laughed and ran freely around the park. "So, are you having fun?!" Spike shouted over the loud music.
Faye turned with a wide grin across her face and nodded. "Yes!" She shouted back. Spike smiled and sighed as the ride slowed down.
++++++
Spike held her hand as the sun began to set. She yawned and leaned into him. "You're leaving…aren't you Spike?" His brown eyes widened. He turned his head sharply and looked down at her.
His lips parted as he looked at her desperately trying to think of an answer. "Faye…"
She shook head. "I'm okay with it. I knew you wouldn't be here forever." Spike helped her onto the deck of the Bebop. The wind blew her hair back and she shivered. Spike pulled off his blue suit jacket and tried to wrap it around her frame, but it disappeared. Spike's eyes widened and he fell to his knees. Faye frowned and shut her eyes tightly. She could feel tears forming in her eyes as she bent down to meet his gaze. "I'll love you no matter what, if you have to go, then I understand—"
"No!" Spike looked up and wrapped his arms around her holding her close. "I hate this; I don't want to go…I don't want to leave again!" Spike shook. Faye's green eyes were wide. "I…I love you." He whispered.
Faye looked slightly to her left to see a tall man with dark brown hair and blue eyes. "Spike…who's that?" Spike tensed and looked behind him.
Spike gritted his teeth. "Damn you, I'm not leaving!" Spike cured, his voice echoed. Faye shuddered as the air became brisk. Spike took hold of Faye's hand and tugged her inside. Shin shut his eyes.
"Spike, remember what I told you…" Shin's voice echoed in his mind. He shut his eyes tightly and kissed Faye.
"Spike," she mumbled. Tears welled up in her eyes. Spike's heart wrenched and he wiped them away.
Do you love her Spike…? Do you?! Do you…?
Spike nodded into his arms. "I love you Faye…" He shut his eyes tightly. "I love her!" A bright flash of white enveloped Spike. Faye looked at him her lips parted.
"I'll live for you Spike…" She whispered. "I love you…" she slid down the wall shutting her eyes as two tears rolled off her cheeks.
What's going to happen? Am I leaving it like this?! +_+ I could be evil, but I don't think I will for this one. REVIEW!!!
I thought I'd tell you all about Kimi wa Pet. Kimi wa pet, also known as You're My Pet in English is a manga series running in Kiss Magazine, by Yayoi Ogawa. (No, not yaoi, that's m/m coupling…Yayoi, is her name…) Anyway, any Bebop fans that I've shown this series to have gotten into the manga as much as I have. You can download the manga in English off of Ushi's site. I also placed my link below so you can check out the series some. (all images are just from volumes 1 and 2 so far)
Sumire walks home from work tired and stress. Seeing a box by her front step she looks in to see a guy passed out inside…frightened she takes him in and gets him cleaned up. The guy tells her he was running away from the place he was living at. The manager said that he'd forget the payments he owed him if he slept with him…::cough:: Needless to say our lead guy isn't gay and he ran away. With an injured hand, Sumire decides to let him stay for the night.
The next day the guy is still living in her apartment and begs her to let him stay, for fear that the people he was running from would come after him… Smirking she tells him that he can only stay if he becomes her pet. Not knowing that he would agree she stares in shock. Dubbing him "Momo" after her old dog that his hair reminds her of Takeshi Goda finds himself falling in love with Sumire, even if she only considers him as "her pet"… staying strictly as a pet/owner relationship, will Takeshi let it stay that way forever? Will Sumire notice how Takeshi feels…?
