claimer of dis-

Chibi Kitsune- Al own's no part in cowboy beebop, but the othelo character is his no matter how spikey and blue his hair may be.

Al- what's that gotta do with anything?

Chibi Kitsune- oh it matters, trust me, it does.

Ein shifted his sitting position to make it more comfy on his furry rump.

He had been sitting outside Edwards door for a hour now, guard duty of sorts, jet had promised ein a whole ham if he alerted them to anything Ed was doing that might keep them from collecting the bounty.

Ein didn't quiet understand the situation, in his infinate wisdom he never did understand why humans did the things they did, he figured that if this othelo person was evil, then Ed would not have made friends with him, but then again, he was not human so understanding if someone was good or evil came much easier for the pooch.

This is not the case with humans, it is very hard to figure out someone's true motives if you are a human, some may have the ability to read others like a book, others may not.

Faye hated the kind that could, she preferred to be a mystery, but if someone could tell her more about herself then she knew, she hated it.

She sat, fileing her nails for nothing better to do.

she had been watching othelo but he had rolled onto his side, and supposedly fallen asleep, she wasn't sure and wasn't about to take any chances with a dangerous criminal as well known as othelo was.

"So how much are they paying you to watch me?" Othelo asked, answering Faye's question as to if he was asleep or not.

"Not enough, but i'll make do with my share of your bounty."

"Oh yeah? you really think ISP is gonna let everyone know that you guys caught me? They'll want the credit, odds are they'll have you imprisoned for some stupid charge right after you drop me off."

"Shut up you!" Faye glared at the motionless form of Othelo.

"Don't let him mess with you Faye, he's just trying to get to you." She reminded herself silently.

"So you like card games?" Othelo asked, in vain attempt at starting a conversation.

"Maybe, what's it to you?"

"Well I never was too good at cards, more of a bingo kinda guy, maybe you could play a few rounds, I might pick up some of that famous Valentine charm that has made you infamous among casinos thoughout space."

Faye looked over her shoulder at him, grinning slightly, winning a game of cards agenst this moron would be easier then takeing candy from a baby...but something was nagging at her.

A small angel faye poofed onto faye's shoulder.

"Don't do it, he's trying to trick you!"

"What the...where have you been for the past two years of my life?"

"Well you just kinda ignored me so I figured i'd go on vacation, looks like I came back just in time."

Poof! devil faye appears on fayes other side.

"What'd i miss? oh no, your back are you?" The mini demon stuck her tounge out at the angel.

"Yes i'm back you little slut, and just look at all the trouble you've landed our girl in, oh i just no what i'm gonna do with you!"

"You could spank me." The devil offered grinning very pervertedly.

"Yes, I think that's just what you need, get over here demon!" The angel took the demon into her lap and began spanking her.

"HEY HEY HEY, you'r supposed to be helping me, not fufilling some deep rooted fantasy I might have!"

"Hmmm, kids got a point." The devil noted.

"True true." The naughty angel agreed.

"Oh don't stop, it was kinda kinky." Othelo Winked at faye.

"WHAT?!? You can see them too?!?"

"Yeah, but I have a record that says i'm completely out of my gord so i wouldn't trust me too much."

"But...but...you can see them, and i can see them...but your nuts...but i'm not...or am...RAHHHH!"

When one finds something hard to comprehend, they usually revert to a natural urge to break something, in this case, faye reverted to breaking Othelo.

"OW....you are nuts!" Othelo whimpered as he lay bleeding from a wrench that Faye had thrown.

Spike was laying on the floor, in the area where the sofa had once been.

"Any word?" He asked as he heard a fimilar metalic clicking that was made by the toes of Jet's boots.

"Well she stopped crying, but all's been silent, and that's never a good thing with Ed."

"Man Jet, who'd think that we'd have to work to make our big score?"

"I know, i should be simple, but it never is," Jet sat in a newly aquired recliner that he had brought out from the storage bay,

"What do you have agenst us?" Jet asked as he looked up, as if looking for a god of some sort to answer back.

Ed sniffled slightly, the tears had subsided, but she was no where near close to figureing out what to do.

She laughed a bit to herself, she was actually a lot more sane then she normally let on, it was so much fun to play around all the time, and to have everyone look at her like she was nuts, she knew someday she'd have to act more mature, but why today?

Wait a minute, today, what was special about today? She ran over to Tomato and opened up a calander.

"WHAA!" She yelped as she saw the date, it was her birthday!

Ed could never remember finding out a exact birthday, so she had decided one day it was her birthday, and from that moment on she had always seen December 30 in earth days her birthday.

"Ed sighed, her friends had not known it was her birthday so she didn't expect anything, but today was so far a really cruddy birthday, her computer was almost distroyed and now her best friend was being held captive in the hanger.

She sighed un happily, about to disconnect and see if takeing a nap would answer her question about who she should betray, when her computer sang out happily,

"Edward has mail, edward has mail!"

Ed clicked half heartedly on the mailbox icon, and her eye's shot wide open, a mail from Othelo!

She opened it and and read the mail,

Dear Ed,

Happy Birthday babe, big 15 years huh, good job makeing it this far, sometimes i wonder if i'll make it past 22, but whatever, in honer of your birthday I have sent a present to a friend of mine on Mars, he owns a in flight dilevery service and delivers things to ships while their in space, it should arrive soon.

Well happy birthday, i'm off to celebrate in your honer with a old friend, Jack Danials.

Much love,

Othelo Jones.

Ed sniffed, the tears had started again, this mail had been sent just before Spike and Faye had set the liveing room on fire, he must have just sent it before spike caught him.

A/N fun no? Another little slice of ficcy to keep you interested, so R&R and more later, ya know?
