A/N Part 1: Hello, and welcome to my fic. This was written purely for entertainment, and I would like to say that I, in no way, own Spike, Jet, Faye, or any other Cowboy Bebop character, nor do I own the show 'Cowboy Bebop.' that right belongs to the creator (sry, I don't know who) funimation, Toonami, and whoever else is involved with the creation. Now that I've said that, please don't sue me, because I don't own anything that you would really want. And for all you others who were reading my other fic called "The YYH Comedy Case", I'm sorry, but I got taken off by ff.net. If you really liked it, which some of you did, then I will re-write it in a story format, and put it back up. Be on the lookout! Thanks!

PS: 'italic'= someone thinking……*italic*= dreams……

The characters are OOC, but don't yell at me, I wrote them that way.

Chapter 1

The Confession

A tall man with dark green hair walked into a room with a yellow chair. Yellow couch, and a table. This mans name was Spike Spiegel. He was a bounty hunter traveling on the fishing ship called The Bebop.

Spike sat down on the couch, put his feet up, and closed his eyes, relaxing. He thought of the people traveling with him. One was Jet Black. Jet was one of the few people Spike could call a friend. Jet had a robotic arm, black hair, and a receding hairline. He had once worked for ISSP, a Ganymede police force.

Another person traveling with him was Faye Valentine, a hard headed woman with a bad attitude, and a strange past. When Faye was 20, she was in a freak accident with an astral gate. All records were lost in the explosion, and Faye had to be Cryogenically frozen for 50 years until they found a way to save her. Faye retains the beauty of her youth, with short dark blue, almost black hair, and a skinny frame.

A young girl also used to travel on The Bebop with Spike, but she recently left with the dog Ein, a genetically enhanced genius dog that had been their companion. The young girl went by the name Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky The Fourth. Everyone just called her Edward, or Ed.

Ed had been found alone among ruins on earth, when Spike, Jet, and Faye had been chasing a computer hacker for a bounty. She had only been allowed to come along because she had control of The Bebop with a toy remote. She was also a hacker. The dog Ein was worth millions.

Spike sat back, eyes still closed, thinking. About what, who knows, but a sharp bang of metal brought him back to his senses.

"Hey Jet!" he called, knowing where the noise came from. Jet was cooking again.

"Damn it!" Jet said to himself, walking out of the kitchen, nursing two burnt fingers.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah. What did you want?"

"Just wondering, Do you have a plan? Whether or not, I'm still attacking The Syndicate in a few days." he explained. Jet looked at him furiously.

"You can't be that stupid. You know they'll kill you."

"I know, but I bet I get to Vicious first." Jet ignored him, and went back to the kitchen. Spike leaned back, put his hands behind his head, and closed his eyes in thought. Soon thought melted into dream, as Spike fell into an endless void of sleep.

*He dreamt of Julia, and his life on The Bebop. Then an image of a tall man with white hair, Vicious, flooded his dreams. Vicious pulled a sword and was fighting him. Spike got ready for the kill. He pulled his favorite gun, and stooped around the corner, shooting. The bullet riddled body fell to the ground, and Spike walked over. There on the ground, barely alive, was Julia.

"Spike…" Julia gasped

"Julia, hang on. Please."

"Spike… Just forget about me. I… I won't survive…" She said, her breathing getting heavy.

"Julia! Hang on. I'll get you some help."

"Leave me here… Go now Spike… Live in peace. And don't go after Vicious…"

"Why not?"

"Because if you do… You'll…" She turned her head, and almost passed out. Spike shook her a little.

"I'll what?"

"You'll miss it…" She collapsed completely, and her breathing stopped. Spike sat back on his heels, and fell into an endless void beneath him.

"NO!!! JULIA!!!"*

"SPIKE!" Spike jumped awake at the harsh sound, and found himself staring into the dark eyes of Faye.

"Do you always have to wake someone in the middle of a dream?"

"Do you always scream in your sleep?" She got him there. Standing up straight, she walked over to the yellow chair, and sat down.

"Sorry if I bothered you. I was having a nightmare."

"The great Spike Spiegel, having a nightmare. My, my look at that. You're human after all." She mocked.

"When did I ever say I was great?" Faye ignored him, and he went on to his next question. "When did you get back?"

"Why do you care?" thinking fast, Spike replied.

"Changing the subject." Spike stood up, and walked to the kitchen to see if Jet had finished cooking whatever he was making. When he entered, he was pushed back by a very strong smell, and a slight smell of something burning.

"What exactly 'IS' for dinner?" he asked.

"Shitaki Mushrooms." Spike made a grossed out face, and turned around, walking into the living room, just catching Faye walk towards the hangar.

"Where you headed off to in such a hurry?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"My, aren't we brash today?" he said. "I was just wondering if you were going to get food, or maybe a drink."

"A drink actually."

"I'm going too. Jet is making Shitaki Mushrooms for dinner."

"Again?!"

"Yep."

"That's the fourth time this week."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Jet walked into the living room having difficulty carrying three plates of Shitaki Mushrooms. Seeing that the room was empty, he set the plates down and read a note left for him.

Sorry Jet, Went out for a drink. I'll

be back later. Don't save me any food.

Sincerely,

Faye.

P.S.

Spike came too.

Jet read the last part of the note loudly.

"Spike and Faye? Getting along?" he scratched his head. "When the hell did that happen?"

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Spike and Faye sat side by side at a bar in Ganymede. They didn't talk much, except for how bad Jets cooking was, and the bounty head they were hoping to catch.

Several hours passed, and Spike and Faye were getting a little drunk. They began giggling at stupid things. Finally, Spike had enough. Trying to be serious, he asked Faye question.

"Ok, Faye, why don't we get going?" she looked up at Spike, a very serious look, and then began giggling uncontrollably. Spike couldn't help but laugh. Faye stood up, with help from Spike, and walked out the door laughing. Spike followed suit, and went to the Swordfish II to call Jet.

"Jet! Jet! Come in Jet!" Spike giggled over the intercom.

"Spike?" jet asked, walking over to…

The television…computer…intercom…thing. Yeah. Anyway…

Faye came on the screen behind Spike.

"Hello Jet!" she laughed.

"What's wrong with you two?" Jet asked.

"Oh, nothing!" Spike replied.

"You're drunk, aren't you?"

"Oh, just a little…lot." Faye replied. Then Spike spoke.

"Were just wondering, can you come pick us up?" he said, in-between giggles.

"What? Why?"

"Well, were drunk. And we never drive or fly when were drunk." Faye answered, giggling.

"No way. Go rent some hotel rooms. I'm sure you haven't spent all your money on beer." and then Jet shut down the television… computer… intercom… thing. Yeah.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Spike turned off his intercom, and decided.

"We'll rent a room."

"Ok." Spike and Faye began walking, and soon came to a hotel. The man behind the counter knew they were drunk, but couldn't refuse them rooms. The hotel clerk led them to a one bedroom room - the only thing they could afford - and left.

"Faye… do you wanna take the bed?" no answer. "Faye?" spike looked over his shoulder, and suppressed a laugh. Faye had fallen asleep leaning against the door. Spike walked over to the bed, pulled one of the pillows off, and the blanket, and made a little bed on the floor, on the left side of the bed. Then he walked over to Faye, picked her up, and set her on the bed. He took off her boots, then placed her on the floor under the covers.

Spike himself removed his boots, jacket, tie and shirt, and climbed in the bed. The whole time, one thought ran through his head. 'why should I be uncomfortable because she fell asleep first?'

Spike rolled over on his left side, facing the direction that Faye was sleeping, and fell asleep.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Faye woke about an hour later, still slightly drunk, and looked around. She realized that she was on the floor, and Spike had taken the bed. Faye sat up in bed, if 'bed' is what you'd call it. She stood up, using the bedpost for support, and walked around the bed unsteadily. Spike had shifted to his right side, so Faye sat on the right side of the bed.

Faye looked at Spike for a long time, and felt compelled to touch his face. She moved her hand, and traced his features gently. She reached his chin, and continued, tracing the outer edge of his bare arm, and then his hand. After tracing his fingers gently, she laced fingers with him.

Spike moved lightly at the soft touch, rolling over onto his back. Leaning over, Faye kissed spike gently. Spikes eyes shot open when he felt this, and sat up straight in bed startling Faye.

"What are you doing?" hw asked groggily, still tired.

"I…" was all she could manage. She looked down, a little ashamed, but then looked back up, and kissed Spike again. He pulled away, surprised.

"Faye! What are you doing? Your still drunk!"

"So are you."

"Fa-" he began, but Faye had leaned over and kissed Spike again. This time, Spike didn't pull away for a few moments. When he realized what was happening, he pulled away abruptly.

"Faye, this can't be happening. Were both drunk, and we don't know what were doing."

"Spike…" Faye interrupted. "I've liked you for a long time. I don't know how long."

"Listen to yourself."

"No, you listen to me. I know what I'm saying."

"You're still drunk."

"I don't care." she hesitated. "I…" her teeth clenched. "I love you."

"What?"

"I love you Spike."

"Faye…"

"I've wanted to tell you for so long, but I never worked up the courage to say it to your face." spike wiped away the single tear that had fallen down her cheek. Faye took his hand, and looked down. When she looked up, Spike saw she was smiling, a warm smile, unfamiliar to her face. Faye moved closer, and kissed Spike again.

This time, Spike returned the kiss.
