Okay so I lied about what my next story would be! So sue me! Anyway, I will try my best not to discontinue this chibi story. I will do my best to complete it as best as I can. If you have ideas for me, tell them to me. They will really be a big help. Now start reading the story if you would. -Randall Flagg2

Silence surrounded the bebop. An awful, heavy silence that seemed to enfold everything and everyone in its path. Somewhere in the midst of it all, a beautiful woman by the name of Faye Valentine sat on her bed, puffing on the last cigarette she had. She sighed, wondering if anything was going to happen today. She would have given anything for something to happen, even something bad. Well, maybe an explosion would occur or a new bounty would turn up. Heck, she would even settle for a fire in the kitchen. Faye took one last drag on her cigarette and extinguished it in the small ashtray next to her. Faye laid down on her bed to take a nap when she heard a familiar voice coming down the hall.

"Going down the hallway! Going down the hallway! Going down the big spooky hallway!" came Ed's high pitched giggle. Faye covered her head with her pillow. Of all the things in her life she needed right now, Ed was the last one. Ed strode into her room.

"Hi Faye Faye! Is Faye Faye happy? Ed is happy!"

"Go away." Faye replied bitterly. "I'm trying to take a nap."

Ed frowned. "Aw, is Faye Faye sad? Ed can help!" Ed scampered out of the room and came back with a clipboard, a pen, and a pair of fake glasses. She sat down in a chair and started writing gibberish. "Now what would Faye Faye like to discuss first?"

"Get out Ed." Faye grumbled, taking the pillow off of her head. "I don't need psychology."

"Faye Faye is in denial! Faye Faye should learn to be more in contact with her emotions like Ed is. Now tell Ed about Faye Faye's childhood."

"Get out!!" Faye's voice had risen to a full fledged snarl. "I'm in no mood for psychological bullshit, now get OUT!!!" Ed recoiled as if struck. She looked at Faye with look of curiosity for quite some time. Then her lips started quivering.

"Faye Faye is mean to Ed! Faye Faye should apologize or Ed will call Jet person!" Great, that was the last thing she needed. Jet had been very stressed out lately, what with caring for Ein and keeping control of Spike and Ed and he had been hitting the roof over a lot of things lately. If Jet was called in now, she had a feeling he would do a lot more then just scold her for disrupting the peace on the bebop this time. But Faye had forgotten about Ed who had taken her hesitation as a sign that she was simply not willing to apologize to her. So Ed did what she did almost as good as hacking and being silly. She began to wail.

"WAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! JET PERSON!!! WAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!" Ed wailed as loudly as she could. Faye, not wanting to deal with an angry Jet, put a hand over Ed's mouth muffling her angry cries.

"Alright!! I'm sorry okay? I'm sorry that I yelled at you." The tears came to halt. Ed lowered her head to the ground, sniffling so it looked like she were still crying. Faye finally felt guilty. She lowered her head to apologize when...

"BOO!!" Ed's face shot up directly into Faye's with unnerving speed. Faye let out a small screech and stumbled backwards. She fell directly onto her bed, back first. This in turn bounced her off of the bed and onto the hard floor. Ed giggled insanely and ran out of the room. Growling deeply in the back of her throat, Faye got to her feet and charged out the door after the hacker.

Ed was skipping merrily down the hall when she saw somebody's shadow coming around the corner. She knew exactly who it was. Well if Faye wanted to punish her, she would have to catch her first. Ed kicked into high gear and sprinted down the hallway just as a snarling Faye rounded the corner. "You little brat!!" Faye bellowed. "When I get my hands on you I'll make you regret the day you ever met me!"

Ed sprinted down the hallway as fast as she could, stopping every so often to check and see how close Faye was. And as one could guess, she would always have enough time to turn around and see an enraged shrew woman charging after her, her hands outstretched. Oh well. Ed was used to being chased. She ran further down the hallway, being careful to jump over a snoozing welsh corgi as she ran. Faye however was to intent on catching Ed to notice him. Ein raised his head up and only had enough time to widen his eyes as Faye's feet slammed into his stomach and face.

"Argh!" Faye went flying over Ein and onto the hard metal ground. She got up, dazed but unhurt and looked around. No sign of psycho hacker here. "Little brat must have gotten away when I tripped." she thought. Just as she began to run again, she heard a whimper. She looked down and saw Ein laying on his side. He was whimpering and his eyes were rolling. Faye suppressed a chuckle. "Sorry about that Ein." she remarked. Faye continued onward in search of Ed, leaving a moaning corgi behind her.

Ed sprinted onwards, not bothering to check her back anymore. She had heard the crash and knew that if Faye had gotten any madder, this would become all out war. She raced on ahead, taking the stairs that led up to the attic. Ed spotted a doorway and made a mad dash for it. She ran inside and shut the door. Good. She was safe now. Ed chuckled madly at the memory of her prank on Faye. Pranks weren't normally her style, but still it was good to stretch every once in awhile. "Dumb Faye Faye!" she said to nobody in particular. As Ed stood against the door laughing, she heard a rustling sound. She saw something move out of the corner of her eye and her laughter ceased almost immediately. Something was in here with her and from how loud the scuffling sounds were, it was most definitely not a mouse. Ed looked nervously into the darkness and saw it move again. It was ill defined and amorphous in the dim light, but she could still just barely make it out. Then it came into the light and Ed felt a scream rising in the back of her throat. What was there was not a mouse, but a strange jelly like substance. Something that was black and red. Rippling and contracting.

And it wanted her.

Ed finally let out a loud scream of terror and bolted over it as it lunged at her. God knows what it would have done if it had gotten a hold of her. Ed screamed again and jumped behind a large crate. Apparently it was the right thing to do. The thing stopped moving and just sat there on the ground rippling and contracting like a living glob of jello. Ed breathed a sigh of relief. Then she heard somebody hammering on the door.

"Ed?! Are you in there?! If you are you should know that I'm coming in there! You might as well just come out here right now and take your lumps!" Faye warned from outside.

"Faye Faye no come in!" Ed called. "There's a scary monster in here!"

From outside, Faye laughed bitterly. "Don't try to fool me girl! Maybe you tricked me back in my room, but you're not going to trick me now!" Faye began to open the door.

"No Faye Faye!!" Ed shrieked. But it was too late. Faye threw open the door, letting light into the room. At the same time, the blow of whatever pounced on her. Faye screamed as it wrapped around her arm, followed by a sharp pain as it somehow bit into her. The blob then leapt off of her and retreated into the darkness of the attic, satisfied with its latest victim. Faye looked at the mark on her arm and gasped. It was already turning a shade of grayish blue.

"Impossible! Spike got rid of them all!" Faye moaned. How could Spike have missed one of the little shits? She had gone through hell with one of them before and she knew from personal experience that when this strange blob bit you, bad things happened. Very bad things. Last time it had been poisoning, but this time she had a feeling that whatever was going to happen now was going to one hundred times worse then last time. Faye let out another moan and sank to the ground.

"Ed." she whispered. "Go get Spike and Jet. Hurry!!" Ed nodded and ran out of the room. Faye fell to the floor in a heap. Already she felt sick and dizzy. The effects of the poison were taking effect. Something was happening to her... but what?

"Spike person!! Jet person!! Come quickly!! Faye Faye is in trouble!" Ed screamed. Jet came barreling out of the kitchen followed by Spike.

"What is it Ed? What's wrong?" Jet asked, bewildered at Ed's panic.

"Faye Faye got bitten by a mean spooky alien!"

"Right." Spike said sarcastically. "What did this spooky alien look like Ed?"

"It was small and looked like a big blow of jello! Ed saw it herself!" Spike's trademark smirk faded. Something that looked like living jello? That didn't sound good. Maybe it was... No. It couldn't be. He had sent the fridge flying into outer space during what was known as "the Ganymede rock lobster incident". How could it still be on board? He didn't know and didn't want to know either.

"Spike?" Jet asked nervously. "Is it what I think it is?"

"Yeah, I think it is man. Show us where Faye is." Spike said. Ed turned around and began to lead them upstairs to where the attic was. When they got upstairs, Faye was nowhere to be seen.

"Faye? Are you in here?" Jet called. No answer. Not even a groan. "Faye? Are you alright?" Still no response from the shrew woman. Jet felt a wave of fear close around his heart. He didn't like the way things were going here. He could remember the bad experience he had had with the mutation from the Ganymede lobster and he had no intention of reliving it. Even more, even if it had gotten Faye, wouldn't she still be here? Unless perhaps it had somehow grown and consumed her. No, that couldn't be. Such a thing was not possible. As Jet surveyed the room, a sob was heard.

"Who's there? Is that you Faye?" Spike asked. Another sob was heard. Spike looked around and saw nobody else besides Ed and Jet. Where the hell was Faye? Then a voice spoke.

"Somebody help me. I'm scared of the dark." The voice was high and child like. Spike was now officially puzzled. How could another kid have gotten onboard? If it was a kid that was. It sounded young and high enough to be one. More sobbing followed the mystery voice. Spike walked around the side of a large set of crates and looked behind them to see where the voice was coming from. Then he suddenly jerked back as his eyes fell upon the sight before him, his face going pale.

"What is it Spike? Is it Faye?" Spike opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He only pointed towards the crates like the ghost of Christmas yet to come. Jet walked towards his pale comrade and almost screamed at the sight before him.

There, sitting behind the crates in the fetal position was a little girl with short lavender purple hair. She looked to be around six years old. She wore the same banana colored clothes that Faye wore. She looked at the newcomers and smiled gleefully at them.

"Hi mister! My name is Faye! What's your name?" Jet's jaw dropped open. This couldn't be Faye. It just couldn't be. No way, nada, never. The lobster blob couldn't have done this to her. Surely there had to be some logical explanation for the sight before him. Maybe it was somebody else's child who had climbed onboard the ship while they were out looking for bounties. But when Jet's eyes fell upon the discolored spot on the girl's arm, his mind was forced to accept the truth. Faye had been bitten by the creature and had somehow been turned into a little kid.

"I said what's your name mister?" the girl asked, a bit more firmly then last time. When Jet didn't respond, she walked up to him and kicked him in the shins.

"Ow!! You brat! What did you do that for?!" Jet roared, rubbing his shin.

"You wouldn't answer me!"

"Nevertheless you shouldn't kick people." Jet scolded. Ed was just giggling over the sight of the little Faye. Spike on the other hand was in complete shock. Gods above, what had he done to deserve this? What did he do to deserve such a punishment?

"This is going to be a long day." Spike moaned. Oh if only he knew...

And there you have it people! That's the first chapter! The thing is I noticed that that aren't that many stories where the bebop crew are kids so I figured I'd try one. Don't get me wrong, the ones where they are in high school and middle school are hilarious (I have read them), but I still say it's time somebody did a chibi story with them. This was ultimately the result of that idea.

Oh and if you have any ideas of what they should do with chibi Faye or how she should act, post them in your reviews. Please, give me at least on suggestion. Please? I am begging you on my hands and knees! -Randall Flagg2
