Spike awoke groggily from his bed. Gods above, what a night it had been. Spike could not recall in all his life a night more horrendous then last night. First he had to tell a story to Faye and Ed with Jet, then Faye had drank enough water to induce bedwetting, and then when after he had changed the sheets and gotten her to go to sleep, she had had nightmares. Worst of all, Faye had not fallen asleep until Spike had sang to her, something which he found to be very degrading. But in the end, everything had turned out alright. Faye had fallen asleep and Spike had finally been allowed to go to bed for the night. He would have been satisfied if not for the fact that it had been four in the morning when he had finally gone to sleep. "What a night." he muttered. "What a fucking crazy night."
Spike got out of bed and got dressed into his usual attire. He walked out of the room and wandered off towards the kitchen where his comrades were waiting.
"So Jet, what's for breakfast?" he asked.
"That's a problem Spike. We don't have anything for breakfast. We only have some cans of dog food for Ein and that's it." Jet replied. Spike moaned. This was just dandy. No food, meant no breakfast. And no breakfast meant an empty stomach which Spike hated above all else. Now what could they do?
"Ed is hungry." Ed whined from the kitchen table. "Ed wants food."
"I'm hungry too daddy." Faye whined. "Isn't there anything onboard?"
"Sorry you guys, but we're all out. I don't know what we can do." Everybody except Ein was starving. If there was anything the bebop crew truly hated, it was going hungry. It seemed that nobody would get any breakfast when Ed spoke up.
"Ed has an idea! We can go to a food place!!"
"What's a food place? You mean a restaurant?" Spike asked.
"Yeah, she does." Faye said. Spike smiled at his own idiocy. How could he have not thought of that in the first place? Besides, they had a good deal of money from their last bounty. It would be easy to pay.
"Alright then, let's go. I'm pretty hungry and a diner would be nice right about now." Spike said. He and Jet went off to the control room and set course for mars.
When the good ship bebop finally landed, everybody got out. They walked out, surveying the landscape for a bit, and then they went off to find a suitable diner for breakfast. After a short while, they found a place to eat and went in.
They were greeted with a most unpleasant sight. When they got into the diner, it was packed with people and there was a long line of people who were waiting to be seated. Jet sighed. He hated this kind of thing.
Faye stamped her foot angrily. "I want a seat now!" she whined. "I hate standing up early in the morning!"
"Calm down. I'm sure that we'll get a seat soon." Spike said. Faye pouted and stamped her foot again, causing some people to flash the evil eye at her. Spike rolled his eyes. This was not his line of work.
Ed meanwhile, was growing more and more impatient. Much like Faye, she wanted to be seated as quickly as possible. "Ed wants to sit down!! Ed is getting bored!!" Spike and Jet did they're best to ignore her. If they started crying or screaming or whatnot, they were going to lose it. Last night had been hard enough.
"I want to sit in a booth!"
"Ed prefers chairs!!" Ed replied to Faye.
"Uncle Spike, tell her that we're going to sit in a booth!!" Faye said angrily.
"Leave me out of this." Spike growled.
"See?! He said we're sitting where I want to sit!" Faye snorted, sticking out her tongue.
"Spike person didn't say that!!" Ed yelled. "We will sit in chairs!"
"Booths!"
"Chairs!!"
"Booths!!"
"Chairs!!" It continued like this for quite some time. People glared at Jet and Spike darkly, making them shrink away.
"Jet if they keep this up I'm going to lose my temper again!" Spike whispered.
"Even though I won't admit it, I think I will too." Jet said. But of course they were in public and doing such a thing here might get them into trouble. So they just swallowed their pride and let the two girls bicker.
It took an hour, but they finally got a seat. Ed and Faye had been arguing back and forth the entire time. To ensure that there wouldn't be any problems, Spike and Jet got a table that had both chairs and a booth. Ed and Faye were satisfied and the fighting ceased. Soon enough, a waitress appeared to take orders.
"Welcome to our diner. What can I get you?"
Spike went first. "I'll just have some coffee."
"Same here." said Jet.
"Ed will have chocolate milk!"
"So will I!" Faye piped.
"Alright, just wait a moment and I'll be back with your drinks." The waitress walked off and a few minutes later came back with the drinks. "Here you are. Now what would you like to eat?"
"I'll have some eggs and bacon." Spike said.
"I'll get the same thing as him."
"Ed wants scrambled eggs and toast!"
"I'll have French toast!" The waitress wrote down their orders and walked off. Ed took a sip of her chocolate milk and started blowing bubbles in it.
"Ed stop that! It's not polite to do that!" Jet scolded. Ed ignored him and continued blowing bubbles, much to the annoyance of the people around her. Then Faye joined her.
"I can blow bubbles better then you Ed!" Faye challenged. Ed grinned and blew bubbles like never before. She did it so hard that the bubbles came out of her glass. Jet and Spike groaned. Then Faye blew into her glass so hard that little splashes of milk came flying out and blasted Spike and Jet in the face. The two bounty hunters slowly felt their vision turning red. They were only putting up with this because if they lost their tempers here, they would get into trouble.
"Sorry daddy. Sorry uncle Spike." Faye giggled. "I won't do it anymore." Then Ed took some milk into her straw and shot it at Faye. Faye ducked and it hit an older woman behind her. She was on her feet in an instant and marched over to where the bebop were.
"Can't you control you're children! They are ruining my breakfast!" she scolded, shaking her finger in Spike's face.
"Alright lady, sorry! Ed, Faye, quit it!" Ed and Faye did not listen. Instead they took milk into their straws and shot it at the old woman. She screamed as the squirts struck her directly in the eyes. Jet's jaw dropped. This was not really happening. The woman opened her eyes and glared at the two girls.
"You naughty girls!! Didn't your parents give you any discipline?!" At that, Ed and Faye did more then just spit milk at her. They grabbed their glasses and threw the contents directly into her face.
The woman stood there for a moment, wondering how she should handle this situation. Then with an angry roar she swung her cane at them. Spike jumped in front of her and ended up getting hit in the face. The woman let out another scream and bashed Spike in the side of his stomach. Spike grunted and blocked her third swing. As quickly as she had gotten angry the woman calmed down.
"Well I never! I'm leaving!" The old woman stormed out of the diner. Spike moaned and rubbed his sore spots. Man oh man, they hurt like hell. With a grunt, Spike sat down in the booth again. As if on cue, the waitress came back with the food.
"Here you are. Enjoy your meal." she said cheerfully and walked off. The bebop began to dig into their food. As Spike and Jet ate, Faye took a packet of syrup and poured it in Ed's lap.
"Hey!!" Ed screamed and put some of her scrambled eggs in Faye's hair. Spike and Jet were praying to the gods that this was not really happening. Then Ed grabbed Faye's head and slammed it into the plate of French toast. Faye screamed, got up, and opened one of the packets of jam. She threw it in Ed's face. Ed growled irritably and tackled Faye. They both began rolling around the floor, both of them fighting like cats and dogs. Some of the people stared at the two girls, while others settled for glaring at Spike and Jet. Spike got up from the table and grabbed the two of them in separate arms.
"Will you two stop this?! If you don't I'm going to-" And that was all he got out before Ed sank her pointy teeth into his arm. Spike yelped and let go of her, giving the two of them a chance to get away. Jet lunged at them but tripped on a puddle of syrup from Faye. The man that was formerly known as the black dog went tumbling head over heels into Spike, bowling him over.
"Get off of me you big oaf!" Spike yelled, pushing Jet off of him. They looked around for the girls and saw them not. Then they saw a puddle of syrup on the floor that led into the kitchen. Spike realized at once where they had gone.
In the kitchen, the cooks were busily trying to pull a pair of squabbling girls apart, but every time they would get close to them they would get bitten, kicked, or punched. Ed and Faye were rolling around the room, inflicting blow after powerful blow on each other. Neither of them showed any signs of slowing down or stopping. This was all out war.
"Stop this right now! You've done enough damage!" one of the cooks shouted. And indeed they had done damage. Bottles of cooking oil had been spilt everywhere and pans had been knocked off of stoves. But that was not enough to stop Ed and Faye. Not nearly enough. They continued fighting for sometime until they crashed the back wall, jarring the fuse box on the wall, shorting out the power to the building. Everything became very dark. Ed blundered around in the dark with her hands to see where she was.
"Faye Faye? Cook people? Where are you all?" she asked. Nobody answered. "Spooky." Ed whispered. When her eyes became more adjusted to the dark, Ed saw a box of matches on one of the counters. She picked up the box, took out a match, and lit it up, illuminating the room. The cooks were gone, and so was Faye. Ed searched around in search of the shrew girl, but could not find any trace of her. Then something caught her eye and Ed bent down to examine the interior of a large stove. Unfortunately, this stove happened to be a gas powered one and it also happened to be turned on. Ed leaned in, match in hand.
BOOM!!! The gas inside the stove ignited immediately. Ed screamed in surprise and jumped away as a blast of fire flew out of the stove. It struck the wall and that caught on fire as well. Ed saw the open door and ran out of the room as it caught on fire. "Jet person! Spike person! The kitchen caught on fire!!" And then the flames spread out into the main area of the diner. Ed caught a glimpse of Spike and Jet, running out of the building. Soon enough, everybody else was fleeing the diner. Ed surveyed the room to find Faye and found her under a chair. She grabbed Faye and ran out of the building just as the flames began to reach outside the building as well as inside. Both girls were greeted by a pair of glaring bounty hunters.
Spike and Jet had never been as angry as they were right now. "What the hell were you thinking?!!" Jet roared. "Do you even know how much this is going to cost us?!!" Ed and Faye suddenly became very interested in examining their feet. "When we get home you two are going straight to your rooms, no lunch or dinner!" Jet scolded.
"Yes Daddy."
"Yes Jet person." Before the firemen or the police could arrive, the bebop left for their ship. Needless to say, there would be a special report on how a diner caught on fire, Ed and Faye would be crying in their rooms from hunger, and Spike and Jet would have to shell out a lot of money when the authorities finally showed up at their door.
And there you have it. Part five. It's good to be back in New York again. Well, I have to go for now. I think I'll continue the other story I recently posted. See you!! -Randall Flagg2
