Spike, Jet, and Ein sat by the wagons that Redtail had sent him to use. The man also sent them some money for emergencies and in doing so nearly made Jet die of a heart attack. "So, what does she look like!?" Ein asked excitedly. Spike had told his companions about his encounter with the Heiress's cousin and now the two were starving for details.
"She is like a child," Spike said wistfully, thinking about Faye. "She was warm and spelled like paints and rain. She was pale and she held herself in a manner that said 'I am a person! I am worth something.'"
"Well duh, Spike, she is the Redtail Heiress!" Jet said. This snapped Spike out of his state. All day all he could think about Faye, he was losing sight of his goal.
"Oh, I was speaking of her cousin. The Heiress is a swan. A bronze goddess, utterly captivating. She makes her cousin look like a plain sparrow." Spike covered up quickly. Although, I happen to prefer sparrows over swans myself, he added mentally before kicking himself.
"'Cuse me, good sir," a little boy from the village said, walking into the camp. Under his arm was a black velvet cape with golden dandelions sewn into the hem. Spike had went into the village and found a seamstress to get something that will please the Heiress. As the boy handed Spike the cape, he couldn't help but think how he would like to see Faye in this, This and nothing else, he smiled inwardly before he could stop himself.
"Thank you very much," Spike said, handing the boy a sliver coin. The boy bowed and then he bounded away. Damn it, Spiegel, you got to get your mind off of Faye. You need to seduce the Heiress. The Heiress. Although, Faye has a much nicer body…Auigh! The Heiress! The Heiress! The Heiress! The Heiress! The Heiress!

Vincent shook his head in disbelief, he couldn't believe they were actually going to do this. Julia was more then happy to make the switch and Faye was so excited that she was going to be a normal person for a few weeks. And Hell hath no furry as Faye when she is disappointed. I hope this works, Vincent thought. Lord only knows what Redtail would do if he found out… Vincent was lurking the shadows where no one could see him and his disfigurations.
"When is this Spike coming?" Julia asked, standing in the middle of the great hall wearing a heavy looking dress. Faye was smirking and leaning against one of the marble columns, she wanted a good seat for the show that her peacock of a cousin was about to make of herself.
As if on cue, the door opened and in walked Spike, Ein, and Jet walked in. Julia's breath caught in her throat, he was very bit as beautiful as Faye had described him. Spike took her hand in his and kissed it. "Miss, I am Spike Spiegel I will be guiding you to your fiancé." Not letting go of Julia's hand, he snapped his fingers and Ein and Jet placed the cape around her shoulders. "You look ravishing," he said, tying the ends together.
It took a while for Julia to realize that she was surrounded by dandelions. She began wheezing and gasping for air. She thrashed about like a wild animal, tearing at the cloth trying to get it off. "Get that off of her you fool," Vincent yelled, jumping out of the shadows as Faye was racing towards her cousin. "She's allergic!" Spike wasted no time and pulled out a knife from his boot, cut the strings, threw the heavy cape into Faye's face (which caused her to fall to the ground).
"Someone open a window!" Vincent ordered as Faye got to her feet and raced over to a bay window. She kicked it open, Spike wasted no time in picking Julia up and racing her to the window. They sat Julia on the cushions where she regained her breath.
"Oh my God, Julia, I'm so sorry!" Faye said honestly. Never had her cousin had a reaction that bad. Normally she'd just sneeze and cough mildly. Spike turned toward Faye with a look that meant murder. He grabbed her by the arm and dragged her out of earshot of the others.
"You heartless wench," he hissed. Faye glared at him and wriggled free of his hold.
"I didn't know that would happen."
"Liar, you had to have known she is allergic."
"I didn't know she would have that strong a reaction. Normally it's just a few coughs and sneezes."
"Liar, you want to kill her, don't you?" Spike hissed, his anger coursing through his veins like poison.
"Why on Earth would I want to kill me cousin? Yeah, she can be annoying at times but she's family and one of the only two friends I have!"
"I don't know, maybe you're jealous?" Spike hissed coldly, his anger at being made a fool of cutting off his better judgment. Faye's hands balled at her sides. Unable to control herself, she punched him hard in the jaw, then walked away in a huff to her room.

Vincent watched as Faye crawled over the side of the wall. He knew what she was up to, and like a father, he didn't like it at all. He couldn't bring himself to stop her though. All her life she had been kept in the prison her father gave her, she needed some freedom. Spike seemed like a good man, so maybe he'll be nice to her… so long as he didn't know who she was, she should be able to get what she wanted.

As Faye walked to Spike's campsite, her mind drifted off. I'm not totally clueless, she thought. I know there will be no love in my upcoming marriage. That's why I'm doing this, I want to give my virginity to someone I'm at least *attracted* to. Faye smiled as she thought of Spike. She couldn't pin point it, but there was something about him she liked, even the part about him that dragged her by the arm and yelled at her. Suddenly, she felt a hand come around her arm, fear took over her but then she saw the outline of Jet.
"Good you're here. He's waiting." Jet said warily. He didn't believe in prostitution, but Spike was Spike and he was Jet and therefore and no right to impose his personal beliefs on his friend. He, unknowingly, placed Faye in a tent and went to get Spike. Faye, in the dark, took off her silk hat, the only thing of her mother's she had. I hope this brings me more luck then her, Faye thought as she nervously put the hat to the ground. I can barely see my own shadow….perfect.
***
Spike was in a rather foul mood. He wasn't sure why, not one part of him doubted that Faye just meant for it to be a joke. He guessed the reason he was so angry was that he didn't want to think of Faye was someone capable of that. He was hoping she'd be more like his sister, sweet, and flawless. But no, Faye was Faye, and he liked that, even though at the current moment it was bugging him because it did so. "Spike?" Jet said coming up to him. "Your….er…company is here." Spike nodded and got off the ground, brushed himself off, and went to his tent.
***
Faye wasn't sure when it happened, but all at once there were hands all over her. Touching her shoulder, her back, her hair, her thighs. Removing her clothes, suddenly the fingers were inside her. She let out a little squeal of delight, but suddenly the fingers were gone. "Wha…?" Faye asked in a slightly higher voice then normal.
"You're a virgin…" Spike said, sounding confused. Faye tensed, she need to think up a lie, and to think it up quick.
"It's my first….yes," she said. "My family died of small pox, we were farmers, this is the only way I am going to be able to survive," Faye said with a sorrowful sigh, surprising herself by her lying ability. Spike's arms were around her in a hug, he's annoyance of Faye disappeared and was replaced with pity for the woman in his arms. He kissed her forehead and led a trial of kisses down her neck. Something tells me this is going to be fun… Faye thought as she turned around to kiss him.
