Adieu

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

El Squeeko: Hello again everyone. This fic was inspired by the song Adieu.

Anyhow, no complaining about how short my fics are. I can't help their size. My muse gives me inspiration so take it out on Spot, the conch shell muse.

Spot:………-makes ocean noises-

El Squeeko: Any who.. I do not own Cowboy Bebop or their song Adieu. If I did then Spike would forget about Julia and date Faye. Please Shin wouldn't have died in Real Folks Blues Part 2. -sobs- Shin! My poor Shin! Why did you have to get shot down protecting Spike!? -cuddles Shin plushie-

(( This takes place right after Real Folk Blues Part 2))

// Been a fool, been a clown

Lost my way from up and down

And I know, yes I know

And I see it in your eyes

That you really weren't suprised at me at all

Not at all

And I know by your smile it's you //

Faye sat on the floor sobbing, her face buried in her hands as Jet turned and walked away, unable to look at her in fear that he would start crying himself.

// Don't care for me, don't cry

Let's say goodbye, Adieu.

It's time to say goodbye, I know that in time

It will just fade away, it's time to say goodbye //

Images flashed through Faye's mind of the bounty hunter, his bush-like hair, that cocky grin, those mismatched eyes that had always trapped her in their depths and seemed to look right past her mask straight down into the very depths of her soul.

// I stand alone, and watch you fade away like clouds

High up and in the sky

I'm strong and so cold

As I stand alone

Goodbye, So long, Adieu //

But she knew she'd never hear the voice she longed for, she'd never see those eyes filled with risk and love of adventure.

// Oh how I love you so, lost in those memories

And now you've gone I feel the pain, feeling like a fool, Adieu //

Shakily she picked up the gun she had dropped to the floor when he had left for the last time and raised it to her temple.

//My love for you burns deep

Inside me, so strong

Embers of times we had

And now here I stand lost in a memory

I see your face and smile //

As she pulled the trigger a single sigh escaped her lips, forming his name. Spike.

Faye's eyes closed, as a ghost-like smile appeared on her face as the comforting darkness washed over here, surrounding her in it's cool embrace.

// Oh how I love you so, lost in those memories

And now you've gone I feel the pain, feeling like a fool, Adieu //

She smiled to herself as she heard a familiar voice. One that was filled with happiness at her arrival but was edged with teasing.

//My love for you burns deep

Inside me, so strong

Embers of times we had

And now here I stand lost in a memory //

"What took you so long Faye?"

"Oh be quiet bush head."

// I see your face and smile //
