AN: I got reviews! I got reviews! Mwahahahahah! (dances in a little
circle, cackling evilly.) Thank you everyone who took the time to post a
comment. It was greatly appreciated. Since everyone said continue, I
continued. This next part isn't very good, but I'm felling kind of brain-
dead right now. I know where I want to take it, so the next chapter should
be up pretty soon. Tell me what you think! Please. I need your feedback!
Oh, and I promise that the chapters will get longer! They will.

They were on Mars. Miserable, miserable Mars. Where she would be forced to remember him.
A week after the happy reunion, Faye was seen walking down the street with Ed in tow. What had possessed her to take the younger girl shopping? Not only did Ed refuse to try anything on, every shiny object they passed captured her attention.
"Faye-Faye, Ed wants to see!" the redheaded terror cried, vainly attempting to get back to the window they had just walked by. She glanced back at it for a moment before dragging her charge even harder.
"Ed, when I said "Let's go shopping" I meant for clothes, not for fake flowers. They don't even look real!"
"But it moves!" before Faye could do anything Ed was in the store, face pressed up against the display, entranced.
"For Gods sake, you've got the attention span of a gold fish on crack!" glaring avidly she stomped into the store.
A few minutes later they reemerged with a happy Ed, and a glowering Faye. "What a waste." She muttered crossly, expression daring everyone to cross her. She wasn't really as angry as she seemed. Ed deserved a gift now and then, after what that good for nothing father of hers had done. All the girl wanted was to belong, and her own father didn't even recognize her. He didn't even remember that he had a child. It was good that she had come back to them. They cared about her and would take care of her. Made sure she was clothed (an impossible feat) and fed (though with Jet's cooking, it was a wonder any of them were still alive). That brought a little chuckle to her mouth, until she was hit with a sudden flash of memory. Spike, poking uncertainly at his plate, muttering crossly.
Damn him! Why wouldn't he leave her alone? Just when things were starting to look up, when she was feeling happy again. Why did he have to haunt her like he did? Why couldn't she just forget about him? It wasn't as if she had been in love with him, far from it, so why couldn't she just move on?
Ed turned around and saw Faye's expression, one of fury mixed with sorrow. With an uncharacteristic burst of insight she said, "Faye-Faye is missing the Spike person." Faye's face went blank and she forced a laugh, looking down at Ed, pretending to be amused. Why had the child said that?
"No way, Ed. No way." The red hair flew back and forth as Ed shook her head, but she didn't say anything else, which was fine with Faye. She didn't want to talk about him with anyone. Not yet.
There was a sudden tussle just ahead of her, and she looked up just in time to see a man dodge out of a building, clutching a bag to his chest. He hurtled forward, colliding with Ed and knocking her down as he ran.
"Hey!" Faye shouted, watching as three more men bounded out of the building, chasing the obvious robber. She quickly glanced to see if Ed was all right before sticking out her foot and tripping the man up. Shaking her head, she kicked him in the side and went to help her friend up. She felt something strange then. Was it motherly concern? It couldn't have been.
"Ed, are you all right?" The young girl seethed, hissing angrily.
"He broke it. Ed wantsss revenge! He broke it." She shivered as Ed hissed some more, almost expecting her eyes to glow red, and opened her mouth to ask what had been broken before her eyes fell on the trampled bag. She felt a spark of anger herself, and spun to give someone a piece of her mind, but before she could, Ed shot past her, launching herself at the man.
"Ed!" she got the flying girl and struggle to hold on to her as the girl kicked and screamed angrily. She probably could have subdued the girl if her eyes hadn't fallen on a head of green hair, heading quickly in their direction.
"No!" she whispered fearfully, dropping Ed who attacked the poor man viciously. The mans captors backed hurriedly away as she stood there, staring in disbelief. "It can't be."

So, what did you think? I know it wasn't very good, and they may be a bit OOC, but that's too bad! That's how I want them to be! If it bothers anyone too desperately much, just leave a comment and I will do what I can about it. Please R&R!
